Newspaper Page TextSIXHERALD AND MEWS futuday, Jan S. ISO HAINES Attention: Junior Baseball Players Your American Legion Junior baseball program is progressing well At present members of the committee are busy spotting suitable fields for practice and lining up equipment, etc. Enough boys turned out to form six ball clubs Instead of four as was originally planned. Six sponsors nave been procured including The Herald and News, Balsiger Motor company, Lombard Motor com pany Coca-Cola. Fluhrer's bakery and Dick Reeders. Matt Finnigan will donate a cup to the winning team and gold baseballs to mem bers of an All-Star nine to be selected after the season is completed Almost certainly another meeting will be called this week at which time teams will be formed and sponsors and coaches will be drawn. This program promises to work out in a style beyond our fondest expectations, so watch the snort page of The Herald and News for notifica tion of the next meeting. It will be soon, we promise you. , Slnmmin' Sammv Solits With Lord Byron Samuel Jackson Snead, the guy who belts a golf ball so hard it looks like a pea, ended up in a tie with Lord Byron Nelson the precisionist of the fairways, in their match May 26-27, for the golf championship of the world. It was typical of Nelson's luck that the rain came down in sheets during their final 36 holes of match play. The Toledo umbrella salesman is very aenrmciy mu. V 7 ,, i, playing his best game when water descends, in bucketsfull from the,oznf- i, r.i ho riiciwwl of Slammln' Samuel, 4 up and 3 to play, after Snead had won the initial 36 holes of medal play by the narrow margin oi one iut. ..... , So the old poser is still a poser. Just which man is the finest goHer is an argument that may be discussed into the wee, small hours of the morning. We felt sure enough of Samuel's ability to wager a couple of lettuce leaves that the West Virginian would succeed in defeating Nelson, and brother, when we wager two whole clams, that's really confidence. , We weren't positivs that Sammy would win 'em both, but we were as sure as we are that today is Tuesday, that he would win at least one of the matches. We figured the worst we could get would be a draw, and that's Just what we got. Sammy just doesn't figure to lose two straight matches in two successive days to Nelson, Bobby Jones, or anybody else, for that matter We freely admit that we are probably biased on the sub ject of Snead against the field. We have seen him play and he shoots the kind of a game that it's not only fun to watch, but that pays off large dividends when he is successful. He's the Walter Hagen type of golfer. When the chips are j m. mn't ostrh Sammv nlavin' 'em safe. If he needs a four to win, he'll still go for a three, taking a chance on making it and refusing to play it the easy way. There are some that claim that this is pure foolishness, but it is the thing that has made Snead the most colorful golfer of all time and the one that the galleries follow most. ..." . .... On the other hand. Nelson is deliberate and painstaking. He is a very fine golf player, no doubt about that, but he never takes a chance, never tries a daring shot, and that quality of being willing to gamble is, for the most part, what has made American athletes better than any others in the world. No, we'll give you Nelson, McSpaden, Ben Hogan, or anybody else you want as -your choice, but we'll string along with our favorite, Slammjn' Sammy, and he'll beat your man three times out of four! ; New York Leads Both Leagues Once again it's New York setting the pace in both the Na tional and the American major league circuits. Mel Ott's boys have maintained a steady gait after jumping off to a flying start in the National loop, while the Yankees hold down first place in the junior circuit albeit the Detroit Tigers are breathing hot on their heels. - -- - -- - - . We still think the Bengals will manage to cop the American league bunting, but about our choice in the National league the Chicago Cubs we're not so sure. "Jolly Cholly" Grimm's lads are a great ball team on paper, but that seems to be about as far as they go. Since no team has ever been known to win a pennant by merely looking good we are a mite dubious about the Bruins. Still, the Cubs did come from way, way behind at least twice in our recollection and they may possibly do it again. In fact, the Chicago boys have sunk to such a level that we think "Cholly" might do well to bring Lou Novikoff, the "Mad Bussian," back up from Los Angeles. Now you can say what you will, but we still think that Novikoff is a potentially great hitter. His fielding efforts DO sort of resemble a giraffe at a square dance, but when he tees off on the old apple at the plate it seems to sail a long ways. The Bruins could use a power hitter at the plate as their bat ting efforts have been notably feeble of late. In the field the Cubs are leading the league in proficiency so it's their hitting and hurl ing that are causing the trouble. We can't drop any pearls of wisdom into the Cub pilot's ears when it somes to pitchers, but we do think he could do much worse than to give Larrupin' Lou another shot at the big time. The Detroit Tigers are shaping up well and the discovery; by Manager Steve O'Neill that he has another starting pitcher in Les Mueller to supplant the injured Al Benton boosts the Bengals' stock no end. However, we may be worrying about it a trifle early. If the rain doesn't stop back there we won't have a world series until at least by Christmas of next year! 2 Service Nines Here In Southern Oregon Ball Loop MEDFORD. June S ffl Six teams will play in a new ly organised Southern Ore gon Baseball league which will open Sunday. The loop will include KUm. th Falls naval station, Klam ath Falls Marine Barracks. Ashland, Central Point, Butt Falls and Medford. The schedule calls for home-nd-home series with Shaughneity play-off to de termine the champion. I Wily Bill Picks Up Discards Off, Cuccinefo Set Pace In Major League Hitting NEW YORK, June 5 OF) A pair of 36-year-oldsters who started their recognized baseball careers back in 1926 are leading the majors in hitting today with Manager Mel Ott of the New York Giants topping the Nation al at .379 and Tony Cuccinello of the Chicago White Sox first in the American at .355. :. Ott took the honors away from Tommy Holmes of Boston and Whitey Kurowski of St. Louis in a blanket finish that in cluded games played Sunday. Holmes and Kurowski are tied for second at .378 21 points high er than fourth-place Luis Olmo of Brooklyn at .357. Nap Reyes is the second Giant in the lead ing five with .353. . Cuccinello picked up 22 points during the week, boosting his Slarki to -355 for a comfortable Z4-point edge over runnerup George Case of Washington. One perfect 4-for-4 day against Bos ton helped Tony increase his margin. Nick Etten of New York con tinued in third spot with a con sistent .321 followed by team mate George Stirnweiss' .318. Vern Stephen&.of St. Louis, out of action for a:day and - then shifted over to third base, fell to .317, dropping from second to fifth. Only newcomer In the Nation al top 10 is Gee Walker of Cin cinnati who took over the tenth position as Carden Gillenwater of Boston dropped out. Bob Johnson .303, and Ben Steiner .300, both of Boston and Jimmy Outlaw of Detroit .296, displaced the Tigers' Don Ross and Eddie Mayo and Chicago's Mike Tresh in the American. WILLIAMS MEETS JOYCE NEW YORK, June 5 (P) Ike Williams, NBA lightweight champion, and Willie Joyce wind up heavy training today for their 10-round non-title bout at Mad ison Square Garden Friday night. It is their fourth meeting with Joyce having won two of the three previous scraps. Whan In Medford Stay t HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Jo and Ann Earley Proprietors Cincinnati Pilot Finds "Washed Up" Hurlers Are Paying Large Dividends By JACK HAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) Deacon BUI McKechnie s weakness for "washed uu dis cards of the major league stock pile is paying big dividends in the Cincinnati Reds' current eight-game win streak, longest acuve siring in me big snow. Give Wily Bill a veteran nitch er who has been around and it's 2 to 1 he'll pop up as a winner in a Kedlcg uniform. Bowman Picked Uo Joe Bowman is the latest ex ample of the McKechnie touch.

In his first start for MeKech- nie, Bowman whipped Brooklyn, in the first game of Sunday's citruu sweep. accx wins Two Walter (Boom Boom) Beck al. so qualifies for the class with two recent victories over the Phillies. As much as Detroit needed help for Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout the Tigers de cided Beck wouldn't do. The Phils and Dodgers cut him loose years ago but Cincy signed him and he's helping out in their hour of need. So is 44-year-old Lisenbee who starred two de cades ago. Fans Remain Cold The Cincinnati fans, who have been so allergic to turnstiles that hardly 100,000 have paid, including 31.000 opening day, have been slow to accept the 1945 McKechnie version. They haven't warmed up yet but the win streak is bound to rekindle the spark, even if the pennant bug is absent. With the majors resuming op erations today after a day of in activity, the Reds' victory string is endangered by the onrushing Pittsburgh Pirates who boast the best intersectional record in baseball. Bucs Going Strong Counting the two east vs west series, including a home series in each town, the Buccos have won 16 and lost 7, tops in the National and better than the St. Louis Browns' American high of 13-9 against the Red Sox, A's. Yanks and Senators at home and abroad. All four eastern clubs failed to break even in the west of the National league and only Pitts burgh had been able to do the job when thev toured the At lantic seaboard. Both Detroit (7-6) and Cleve land (7-5) enloyed success in the east but the Yanks, Red Sox, A's and Senators all were below .500 when they toured the mid-west.

Sixteen May Don Silks For 71st Kentucky Derby Plenty Of Jamming At Start Expected As Horses Battle For Racing Room By ORLO ROBERTSON LOUISVILLE, June 5 (VI Its a good thing the Kentucky dcrbv is going to be run Saturday, considering tho rate owners and trainers are getting ideas about starting their horses In the $75,000 race. As it Is, there figures to be quite a inimc jinn around 5:30 p. m. (central war timo) at the head of Churchill Downs' home stretch. Until a few days ago tho mllo and one quarter jaunt for 3-year-olds shaped up as a merry littlo party with a dozen or less horses parading to the post as tho bund plavs "My Old Kentucky Home" and some 50,000 fans thrill to the sight of America s most impressive racing scene. Now, howovcr, there is a possibility that as many as 16 may don silks although it is likely that several of tho owners will think twice before laying the S500 starting fee on the line. The rush started last Saturday wnen me nigniy rcKurnca cons quar tered at the Downs bowed to a pair of outsiders, Bardy Dieppe and Fighting Step, In the Blue Grass stakes. Word was not long in coming from CBnada that H. C. Hatch, Tnrnntn distiller. wa shinning Fair Jester in the same car with the Kenilworth farm's Kcnllworth Lad and Bert. G. Fair Jester has some excuse for making the trip since he finished fourth to his stablcmatc. Uttermost, in the King s Plato but neither of the other two has ever been in the winner s circle. Ed O'Donnell, trainer of Mldswcct owned by Arthur Rose from Mt. Clemens, Mich., is seriously considering starling the daughter of Bel Aethel, pointing out that she hung it on both Darby Dieppe and Fighting Step as 2-year-olds. With the possibility of such a large field and chances there will be plenty of jamming at the stnrt as the horses battle for racing room in the five-sixteenths of a mile run to tho first turn, we lean toward a pair of eastern colts to tnkn down first oml second money. They are Col. C. V. Whitney's Jeep and Alexis from Henry Lunger's Christiana farm.
