Herbert Qualifies as Yankee Killer; Pitches 4th Shutout By FRED DOWK UPI Sporti Writtr It took Ray Herbert a long time to learn how to beat the New York Yankees, but once acquired the technique is habit-forming. A 20-game winner in 1962, the Chicago White Sox right hander irom Detroit is the newest American league pitch er to qualify as a "Yankee killer." And, In the bargain, his flashing curveball is mak ing him one of the AL's top pitchers and a "shutout ar tist" reminiscent of the dead ball era. Herbert, who had a 6-14 re SECTION R MEDF0RDt4TRIBUN8 sipaDnaTS MEDFORD, OREGON, Vachon Has Short Reign as Champion; Columbo Keeps Belt Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon enjoyed perhaps the shortest reign in history as Pacific coast junior heavyweight wrestling champion - about five minutes - at Mcdford armory last night. Then he returned to the ring and promptly lost the champion ship belt to Rocky Columbo, from whom he had taken it. It all happened when, with falls standing at one apiece, Vachon pinned Columbo. Af ter the referee counted Colum bo out, the arbiter found that Vachon had illegally used leverage from the ring ropes and ruled that Vachon would have to return to the ring and continue the match. After much persuasion and a threat to forego a stop at the pay window, Vachon returned to the ring and was arguing violently with the referee when Columbo landed a well placed drop kick and Vachon was counted out. Vachon, who usually wears a beard, came into the ring with a white mask, which Columbo removed during the match. Removal of the mask revealed a bald, beardless Vachon. It was announced that Vachon had a match in Portland earlier in the week with Tony Borne, also a beard wearer. The loser was to be shaved in the ring. Vachon lost.

Giants Play LA Dodgers " Los Angeles -IDPll- The San Francisco Giants brought a phenomenal road record of 13 wins in IS contests to the Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium tonight where Jack Sanford (5-1) of the National league champs faced blazing Don Drysdale (2-3) in the opener of a three-game set.

WHINGER'S Ready-Mix Concrete Concrete Pipe Crushed Rock Equipment Rentals Dave Slenhouse pitched a seven hitter to give the Wash ington Senators a 6-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians in the only other AL activity of day or night. Herbert, a refuge from the Kansas City Athletics, from whom he was acquired June 10, 1961, has now shut out the A's, Orioles and Senators in that order. In those 27 shutout innings, he has allowed a total of only nine hits. His victory Thursday night also dumped the lordly Yankees into fifth place in the AL and tagged them with their first shutout of the 1963 season. Surrenders Two Singles Herbert was tapped for singles by Joe Pepitone and Clete Boyer, walked only one batter and permitted one Yankee batter to reach third base. The White Sox scored both their runs off World Scries hero Ralph Terry (3-4) in the fourth inning on a double by Pete Ward, a walk to Dave Nicolson and Ron Hansen's double. Stu Miller's one-hit relief pitching for two innings pre served the Baltimore victory for Chuck Estrada, who had yielded the Red Sox only two hits over the first seven in nings. Boog Powell homered for the Orioles' first run and they added three more in the sixth inning, with the key blow a two-run double by Brooks Robinson. Chuck Schilling, John Tillman and pinch-hitter Gary Geiger ac counted for the Red Sox three hits. Stenhouse', who tailed off as a rookie last season after a brilliant start, turned in his second victory of the season for the Senators, whose eight hit attack was paced by Ed Brinkman s three-run fourth inning homer. It marked the first time the Senators beat Jim (Mudcat) Grant after 12 straight losses to him at Wash ington. Grant started the game with an overall lifetime mark of 20-4 against the Senators.

Ducks Favored Over Huskies Eugene (UPH Oregon is the heavy favorite, but a couple of Washington trackmen may draw much of the attention Saturday when the two teams collide in a dual meet at Hay ward Field. The Huskies boast two of the best collegiate pole vault ers in the nation in Brian Sternberg and John Cramer. Sternberg shot into promi nence earlier this year when he set a world record of 16-5. That mark lasted only about a week, but Sternberg has been over 16 feet consistently. Cramer was a consistent 15 foot with a metal pole last year but has been bothered by injuries. The meet may see an out standing duel in the sprints between Oregon's Dave Blunt and Washington's Jerry Plow man. Otherwise, the powerful Ducks are expected to have tilings their own way. They will be out after their fifth consecutive dual meet tri umph.

Lipscomb Death Said Mysterious Baltimore, Md. -IUPD- Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, 31, gl ant tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers professional football team, died mysteriously early today after collapsing at party. Police said the huge former all pro lineman, was pro nounced dead on arrival at Lutheran hospital here after attempts at "external heart massage" failed to revive him, Lipscomb lived in Balti more, where he formerly star red with the Baltimore Colts, and had been at a party in a private home, police said. He suddenly fell unconscious, witnesses said, and an ambu lance was called. By the time he arrived at the hoespital Lipscomb was dead, a hospital spokesman said. The body was then taken to the city morgue for an au topsy. Police said they had no idea what was the cause of death and declined to specu late. The 6 foot 6 Lipscomb, whose playing weight was 283 pounds, achieved all-pro distinction in the National Football league without ever having played college foot ball. A native of Detroit, the huge tackle learned to play the high-powered kind of game favored by the pros while serving in the Marines. He signed with the Los An geles Rams for the 1953 sea son and for three years was known as little more than a routine lineman in the NFL. But in 1956 he was traded to Baltimore and it was with the Colts that he blossomed into one of the most feared linemen in the league.

Frank Robinson's Booming Bat Carries Redlegs To By FRED DOWN UPI Sporti Writer There's fresh proof today that the Cincinnati Reds go as Frank Robinson goes. National leaguers aotually put it another way. When Robinson's not hit ting," they say, "It's like play ing a team that's blind-folded when it bats." The 1961 NL champions seemed blind-folded, at that, for the first three weeks of the season. They were shut out four times and held to one run three other times as they stumbled around in a hit fam ine that was enough to make Manager Fred (The Bear) Hutchinson tear up the club house furniture. Then, Robinson, the NL's Most Valuable Player in 1961 and a .342 hitter with 39 horn. crs and 136 runs batted in last season whose average this year had dwindled to a sickly 261, suddenly burst out of his slump. And what a com ing out party it was! Blasts Two Homers All Robinson did Thursday night was go 5-for-5, with two homers, a double and two sin gles, score three runs and drive in seven to pace the Reds to a 13-3 rout of the Houston Colts. Teammate Vada Pinson weighed in with 3-for-5, three runs scored and four RBI's to make it a breeze for Jim Maloney to chalk up his fourth victory against one loss. Robinson's splurge raised his 1963 average 40 points to .301 and gave him six homers and 22 runs batted in. The San Francisco Giants downed the Milwaukee Braves 6-2, the St. Louis Cardinals turned on the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pi rates 3-1, and the New York Mets defeated the Philadel phia Phillies 3-2, in other NL action. . . Robinson hammered a two run double to cap a four-run third inning rally, hit a two run homer in the sixth and added a three-run round-tripper in the eighth to round out his one-man attack on HouS' ton pitchers. Ed Bailey: and Felipe Alou each drove in three runs for the Giants, who have won I nine of their Jast 10 games, 6th 'fiSSL - ' II The Giants routed Warren Spahn with a 10-hit, seven run outburst in 543 innings to hand the great lefty his second loss of the season against four wins. Billy O'Dell pitched a seven-hitter to win his fourth in a row for the Giants. Whit Grand Slams Bill White hit a grand slam homer, Charlie James con nected for a three-run round- tripper and Gene Oliver con nected for a two-run blast as the Cardinals collected 17 hits against five Dodger pitchers.
