Giants Male Four
Assists Without
Recording Putout
Philadelphia (UPIV- The San
Francisco Giants, who have
had some wierdies in the past
few days, had another one
Friday.
They made four assists with
out a putout against the Phila
delphia Phillies.
It happened during a four
run first inning by the Phils.
Tony Taylor opened with a
single and went to third on
8 single by Johnny Callison.
Shortstop Jose Pagan cut off
the throw from right fielder
jlarvey Kuenn and trapped
Callison between first and
second.
A rundown started. Pagan
threw to Orlando Cepeda,
who tossed to Chuck Hiller,
who returned the throw to
Cepeda. But then Callison and
Hiller collided and an obstruc
tion error was charged against
Hiller, with Callison permitted
to take second.
Since the throws during the
run down were- faultless, the
players making them received
credit for assists regardless of
the fact that Callison was not
put out.

Medford's American Legion
junior baseball team, fighting
to stay in the battle for the
championship, and the Cen
tral Point Cheney Studs, am
bitious to play the spoiler
part, joust this evening at the
fairgrounds ball park here.
A doubleheader will be the
fare. First game is planned
for five innings with the sec
ond to go for seven. Play ball
first will be called at 6 p.m.
The second scrap will count
in the Area Southern division
standings and likely will be
gin around 8 o'clock.
The nightcap will be a cru
cial for Medford - just how
crucial will be learned some
time this afternoon. Central
Point is out of the titular run
ning. Bui, for the Cheney
Studs plenty of prestige is at
stake. And, a tie for second
place in the standings is yet
within their grasp.

Medford will go into the
league engagement with an
8-2 division record. As of this
morning that is a full game
back of the 9-1 standing of the
Klamath Falls Falcons. The
Falcons vie at Ashland this
afternoon and on Tuesday
night they'll come to the fair
grounds to face the Medford
club.
Big If.
If both Medford and the
Falcons win today, Medford
will fight on Tuesday for a
league tie which would neces
sitate a playoff. If Medford
wins today and Klamath loses,
Tuesday's game will be the
championship decider. If Med
ford loses and the Falcons win
in today's action, the Klamath
team will have the title.
Despite the fact that Med
ford holds three victories over
the Studs this season, this
evening's brushes are in the
tossup category. The Cheneys
take the feeling into the scuf
fles that, had key plays gone
the other way, they would
have beaten Medford, Scores
in the earlier scrapes were 3
to 0, 2 to 0 and 3 to 2 with
Stuart Young pitching a per
fect game in the 2 to 0 has
sle. The Studs aim for at least
one win, if not two, in 1963
against the Medfords. This is
their last chance and last ap
pearance of the season.
While the low scores this
year are an indication of
evenness of the competition,
the two communities have
built a reputation of close, in
tense in Legion ball. There
have been several extra in
ning games in recent years.
And, there have been more
good games than bad.
Upset Hoped
Medford Legion diamonders
will hope this afternoon that
Ashland keeps on its upset
trail. The Lithians have spill
ed the dope two Sundays in a
row. First, they bounced the
Klamath Falls Hawks. Then,
last Sunday they tossed a
bomb at Medford's titular
dreams by nipping the Pear
City contingent 2 to 1. Sting
of that setback will be eased
if Ashland also can sidetrack
the Falcons.
Manager Bill Askwith has
said that Larry Pepper will
go to the mound for Central
Point in this evening's league
affair. Medford Manager Cliff
McLean has indicated that his
hill choice will be Bill Enyart.
Central Point is now tied
for third spot in the standings
with Grants Pass. They have
7-4 records. Grants Pass is
host this afternoon to the
Klamath Hawks.
The Tuesday game here be
tween Medford and the Fal
cons will conclude division ac
tion unless the two teams
have to playoff for the mantle.
League winner will enter
Area playoffs. There are also
Northern and Coast divisions
of the league.

Early Wynn Cops 300th Victory
As Indians Drop Athletics, 7-4
United Press International
Early Wynn, the oldest
player in baseball, won the
300th game of his career Sat
urday by pitching the Cleve
land Indians to a 7-4 victory
over the Kansas City Athlet
ics in the second game of a
doubleheader.
The Athletics won the first
game 6-5.
Wynn, who celebrated his
43rd birthday last Jan. 6,
needed relief help from Jerry
Walker after pitching the
first five innings then leaving
the game for a pinch hitter.
He held the Athletics to two
hits, one of them George Alu-
sik's eighth home run, be
fore they shelled him for
three runs on four hits in the
final inning to narrow the
Indians' lead to 5-4.
The victory gave Wynn the
distinction of being the 14th
pitcher in the history of base
ball to win 300 games. The
only other active pitcher is
Warran Spahn of the Milwau-
kce Braves, who has won 339.
Sets Another Mark
Wynn, in boosting his rec
ord to 300-243 for a 23-year
career in the American
League, also set a record Sat
urday when he walked three
consecutive batters in the sec
ond inning. The last of three
walks, issued to Ed Charles,
gave him a major league rec
ord of 1,765 bases on balls
in a career. The old record of
1,764 was held by Wynn's
former Cleveland teammate,
Bob Feller.
The Indians won the game
with a four-run outburst in
the fifth inning., which broke
a 1-1 tie.
A tough, hard-bitten native
of Hartford, Ala., Wynn start
ed out his big league career
with the dismal Washington
Senators in 1939 and never
reached the .500-mark until
his 11th season. That was in
1S51 when he posted a 20-13

With the Indians from 1949
through 1957 he compiled a

from 1958 through 1962 he
won 64 games and lost 55.
He pitched in two world
scries - losing a decision to
the Giants in 1954 and split
ting two decisions with the
Dodgers in the 1959 classic.
Warren Spahn and Lefty
Grove are the only other pit
chers who compiled their 300
victories exclusively in the
lively-ball era.
Charles Nicholas, James

and Eddie Plank all pitched
exclusively in the dead-ball
era and the careers of Walter
Johnson and Grovcr Cleve
land Alexander bridged the
dcad-and-livcly ball eras.
The lively ball era began
In 1921 when clubowncrs
sought to increase home run
production as a means of wip
ing out the memory of the
1919 world series scandal in
which the Chicago White Sox
deliberately lost to the Clnci-
nali Reds.
Art Fowler came out out
of the bullpen to quell a New
York rally in the seventh inn
ing and preserve a 3-1 victory
for the Los Angeles Angels
over the league leading Yankees.
The Yankees, however, re
mained 5 1 2 games ahead in
the American League ra ce
with the Chicago White Sox
and the Boston Red Sox a
point apart in their battle for
second place. Detroit at Chi
cago was rained out and the
Red Sox lost to the Minne
sota Twins, 6-4.
Fowler entered the game In
the seventh inni ng with one
out and the bases loaded and
got Bobby Richardson to pop
out and Tom Trcsh to ground
out. He saved the win for An
gel starter Dean Chance, who
now has a record of 7-9.
The Angels banged out
only four hits, but made them
count. Successive singles by
Felix Torres, Charley Decs
and Billy Moran produced
the first Angel run in the sec
ond inning, and Lee Thomas
drove in the decisive two runs
in the third Inning with a tri
ple to left ccnterficld after
two men got on via an error
and a walk.
The only Yankee run w. s ,
scored by Joe Pcpitonc, who !
came across when Elston
Howard hit into a double
play in the fourth. The Yan
kees collected 10 hits but they
weren't enough for starter
Jim Bouton, who lost his fifth
game of trie year against 11
victories.
Home runs by Rich Rollins,
Harmon Killcbrew and Earl
Battey paced the Twins to
their victory over the Red
Sox. The victory snapped a
five ga me Minnesota losing
streak. The Twins jumped on
Boston rookie Bob Heffncr
for all their runs with Bat
tey's two run homer in the
fourth providing the margin
of victory.
Chuck Hinton cracked two
doubles and a home run to
