A 6-foot, 2-inch, 2uu-pound left hander who failed in three pre vious brief major league trials, the Chicago White Sox ace seems likely to accomplish two feats that haven't been achiev ed in more than a decade.

Six Farmhands To Join Giants SAN FRANCISCO UPI - The San Francisco Giants have re called a total of 13 farmhands but only six of them will join the team this year.

II Cr Pa d for o K Q U C ) Tsrmi To Suit Yovf twdqsrt MEMORY PLAYS TRICKS Monday's gallery for the Southern Oregon golf finals was huge. It was one of the largest in tourney history. Whether it actually was the largest is hard to judge. There have been huge crowds on the links in past years And memory does play strange tricks. VIEWPOINTS TAKEN One thing that rankles a gal Icrvite who hoofs it all the way around the course is to come up to No. 9 and 18 holes and find the crowd from the clubhouse area has gathered round and taken all the choice viewpoints of the green. The guy who's made the long walks sort of feels he should have some privi leges. BATTERED PROS It was a battered gang al the pro shop for this tourney, head pro Ron Caperna skinned up from a spill from a golf cart, assistant pro Gary Parker hurt in an auto accident and assist ant Marion Helton hit In the back hy a ball. As John Hilsen teger of the Oregonian remark ed, RVCC almost did not have a pro for tourney time. CONGRATULATIONS The qualifying play and early match rounds had their traffic problems, but Rogue Valley came up with another of the well-run tourneys for which it is famous and the committees headed by Chairman Bud Mit chell ' and co-chairman Billy Blackstone. deserve well-earned congratulations. The Southern Oregon is equiv alent to a convention economi cally lo the community. It also has been compared lo a small business in its benefits to the valley. The fact that the Southern Oregon was being conducted in Medford contributed also lo the heaviest week end of play of the vear at Oak Knoll Golf club at Ashland. Heaviest traffic of the vear was noted on Saturday and Sunday and there was much piny on Monday too. People un able to play on the Medford links because of the tournament went to Ashland. A boost in traffic was notic- able also at Medford's Cherry j Lane Park course, particularly i over the week end. ;many yolng people One prrvn commenied on the number o younf; people in the Inurnrv falUrv on Monday and ventured Ik.

All other leagues in the slate have 10 or 11 schools and have full schedules to play among themselves. Ashland and Crater each play Lebanon and Sweet Home. Med ford and Klamath Falls each face North and South Salem and Corvallis. Grants Pass meets the two Salem schools and Albany. Medford also plays Boise, Ida ho. Ashland and Crater tussle Yrcka, Calif. Crater plavs to- quille and Ashland engages Shasta high of Redding California. Still all but Grants Pass In the SO loop have bye dates. Grants Pass filled up its sched ule with Vancouver, B. C. Ash land and Crater could play a non league game with each other If they wished as they did in several past seasons. They have the same open date. CRYING TOWELS Is this a pessimistic outlook toward the Medford high school football season: Laundryman Al Dumas has printed up a batch of schedules each with a small crying towel 1 attached. Al may tell you that they are pocket handkerchiefs to be worn in the breast pocket ! of your business suit. And, they do look a bit like that. Perhaps, the laundryman is a I bit of an optimist. The towels I cr, handkerchiefs, are small. They won't hold many tears. BAND DIRECTOR MOANS Well, anyway we haven't heard Medford Coach Fred Spic- gclberg moaning the moans which supposedly are. tradition-' al with a coach. He sounded quite optimistic in a talk be lore Medford Kiwanis club this I week. " I The only "moan," in fact, 1 came from Irv Mirlck, who di rects the high school band. Getting in his two-bits worth, the cx-Kiwanis club president wailed to fellow members that his band will be "a little short on clarinets this year." But, even he did not apply one of the Dumas specials to his eyes. NO BLACKSTONE Splegclhcrg told the service club thai the "biggest change" In Medford high football this fall would he "no Billy Blackstone." The dentist and immediate past president of the Kiwanis club had to retire from grid officiat ing last fall because of a bad knee. ! SHOES NECESSARY A new National Federa tion rule for football this year states that a player shall wear shoes. We wonder what that 1 does to football in the Ozarks or the Blue Hidge mountains.

Comets Bill Squad Tilt Saturday Crater High's Comets will hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday at 8 p.m. No squad game is planned this Saturday by the Medford High footballers. Coach Fred Spiegel berg said that a regular prac tice, however, will be conduct ed around 9 a.m. The Black Tornado had a squad game last week end. The Medford crew had a full scrimmage of 20 minutes length yesterday afternoon and a pass scrimmage of the same dura tion. Offensive drills and team defense work against the antici pated Corvallis attack were also conducted. Spiegelberg indicated that this afternoon's drill and Saturday morning's would be similar. A picture-taking session was on j the Tornado agenda this afternoon. STILL LOOKING Seattle (UPI) Coach Jim Owens of Washington still is looking for a fullback. With regular fullback Junior Coffey on the sidelines with injuries, the battle continues for a re placement. Glenn Reece, senior non-letter returnee from Los Angeles, continues to show im provement and, as a result, has been moved up to the No. 2 spot behind Charlie Browning. Too Early To Gloat, Says Alston By JOHN DART Los Angeles-(UPI)-It's too early to do any gloating," ac cording to Walter (Smokey) Al ston. But the Dodger manager takes his league leaders into the Bay City today with a five-game lead and a "magic number" of 19 after a 4-0 win Thursday night over the Chicago Cubs. The second-place St. Louis Cardinals haven't contributed to a lowering of the Dodger magic number in their last eight games, having won them all. However, the fabulous Los An geles pitching staff aided by some timely hitting has carried the Dodgers to six victories in that same eight game span. Any combination of Dodger wins and Card defeats totaling 19 will bring the pennant to Los An geles. Open Road Trip The Dodgers start a vital 13 game road trip tonight. A crowd of 35,256 saw the Dodgers win their 11th game of the 18-game home stand Thurs day night. Hard-throwing Pete Richert tired and needed help from reliever Larry Sherry in the eighth inning to complete the shutout. Bill (Moose) Skowron. who had pinch singles in the two previous games, and doubled home the second Dodger run in the third inning his fourth consecutive hit. "It's about time," said Skow ron, the ex-Yankee who bore a .219 batting average going into the game. The first base man got on base all four times at bat. He singled to center, bounced a ground rule double into the left field stands, was aboard on an error by Andre Rodgers, and struck out on a wild pitch by Cub reliever Paul Toth but made it to first. Softball Loop Meets Monday Managers and sponsors of teams in the recently completed Jackson County Softball associa tion season will meet Monday at 8 p.m. at the Medford hotel. The past season will be dis cussed and plans for 1964 play will be drafted. Those planning to have teams in the league next year, but who were not sponsors this season, also are invited to the meeting. Spokane Fans Pull for Peggy Spokane, Wash.-(UPI)-Mickey Wright, leading money winner among the lady profes sionals, will be odds-on favorite to grab a third straight win in the fourth Spokane Women's Open golf tournament, but local fans are pulling for a chunky 16-year-old dubbed "Teddy Bear" to walk away with all the marbles. The youngster is Peggy Con- ley, who is fresh from runner- up finishes in the National Jun ior and National Women s Ama teur golf tournaments. Both golfers were among those who teed off today as the first round of the $10,000 Spo kane Open got under way. Bruce Williams Captain at OSU Corvallis, Ore. (UPI) Full back Bruce Wililams of Auburn, Calif., who has the distinction of having lost only one yard in two years of varsity play, was rewarded by his teammates Thursday when they named him captain of the Oregon State squad. Williams has carried the ball 146 times during the past two seasons and gained 533 yards. Senior guard Joe Bonilla of Selma, Calif., was named alter- i nate captain. Ralston Worried About Backs Feet. Stanford, Calif. (UPI) Coach John Ralston of Stanford is wor ried about the feet of his No. 1 fullback. Ken Babajian, who has had foot trouble before, is on the sidelines once again. Because of some unusual bone structure, football shoes hurt Ken's feet. They have flared up again, causing Ralston to look else where for a possible substitute. Behind Babajian he has the veteran Tony DeLellis; two non lettermen, Frank Bunch and Dan Conaway, and soph Glenn Myers. At the moment, Bunch and Myers look like possible replacements. z m I vnn V WW DIDN'T KNOW S-s Ready-Mix 7 Jt" 773-7555 LININGER'S Co"cre,e Concrete Pipe Crushed Rock Equipment Rentals j by Paul Lea I Did you ever wonder what I was the smallest crowd ever to see a major league base I ball game? . . .
