Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE ELEVEN White Sox Stars Sign, gut Cleveland Havinq Troubles By UNITED PRESS The Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians have adopted decidedly different methods in dealing with potential holdouts. The White Sox seem to be meet ing all the demands of their play ers by doling out record salaries, but the Indians have instituted a "get tough" policy with six of their "stragglers." All-Star second baseman Nellie Fox, no-hit pitcher Bob Keegan and veteran southpaw Billy Pierce accepted their 1958 contracts with the White Sox Wednesday. Fox became the highest paid player in the history of the club when he signed for "over $40,000." Pierce, the Sox' top-salaried pitch er in history last year (at about $35,000), also was given a slight pay boost while Keegan, who pitched the only no-hit game in Having the majors last season, received "a substantial increase." LANE ISSUES WARNING However, all was not so serene in the Cleveland tepee, where General Manager Frank Lane warned six Indians they may lose much wampum if they don't sign by March 1. Lane said that $100 will be de ducted from the contract offered to each holdout for every day he fails to report at the Indians' training camp at Tucson, Ariz. Veteran outfielder Gene Wood ling, one of the six unsigned Cleveland players, answered Lane's threat with a threat of his own. "I won't hold still for anything like this," he declared, "It just means that my price will go up $100 every day after March 1. We have a baseball commissioner and I think he ought to step into a situation like this." DON LARSEN SIGNS The New York Yankees, who have family troubles, too, took one giant step towards lining up their biggest names wnen tney corralled Don Larsen for a re ported $17,000. Shortstop Daryl Spencer, pitch er Pete Burnside and rookie out fielder Willie Kirkland accepted their 1958 contracts with the San Francisco Giants, leaving only four teammates unsigned. Other signees: Leo Kiely and Robert W. Smith of the Boston Red Sox, Eddie Yost of the Wash ington Senators, Art Ceccarelli of the Baltimore orioles, and Glenn Cox and Lane Akers of the Kan sas City Athletics. Owl Gridders Boast Grades Oregon Tech's football team maintained a B-minus grade aver age during the past fall term school officials announced this week, and the Owls football squad's average was only three- hundreths of a point below the all school average. The 26-man football team aver aged 2.61. The school average was 2.64. This was the first time in three years the football team's CPA has fallen below the school average, a fact of which coach Rex Hunsaker has been very proud. Twelve of the 26 footballers achieved a 2.5 or better, with five of those posting CPAs of 3.0 (B) or better. Those five were Richard Pekala, 3.06: Richard Hill, 3.13; rtoy Ropp, 3.22: Ken Langton, 3.05 and Jim Wagner, 3.69. Pekala and Hill were starters. Five of the 11 starters pulled down a 2.5 average or better. Only two of the squad failed to get a 2.0 (C) average for the term. Celts. Hawks hearing NBA Division Win By UNITED PRESS The Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks, pre-season favorites to win division titles in the Na tional Basketball Association, are approaching their targets ahead of schedule. The Celtics, who took the East ern lead right at the start of the season and haven't been out of first place since, racked up their nearest rivals, the Syracuse Na tionals, 119-101, Wednesday night, while the Hawks, who have held almost as tight a strangle-hold on the Western lead, downed the De troit Pistons, 106-97. With a comfortable seven game lead, the Celtics need only nine wins in their remaining 16 games, provided the Nationals win all of their 14 remaining games, to clinch the Eastern title. The Hawks, who appear to have shaken a protracted slump which got in the point where owner Ben Keroer and coach Alex Hannum began shouting at each other, need 10 wins in their 15 remain ing games to clinch the Western title, if the runne'rup Cincinnati Royals win all of their 16 games. In the only other game played the New York Knickerbockers ral lied in the final period to beat the Minneapolis Lakers, 106-97, 17- Youth Dies After Kayoe SPRINGFIELD, 111. Wl A year-old Chicago amateur boxer suffered fatal injuries Wednesday night after being knocked out in the first round of a Golden Gloves boxing bout. Melvin Young, 126 pounds and fighting in the open class compe tition of the boxing show, was pro nounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. Cause of death was not determined immediately. . Young's opponent was Joe Be- cerra, 16, of Granite City, 111 They met in the next to last fight on a 32-bout program sponsored by the Springfield Jaycees and the Illinois State Register. Young was one of 16 inmates from the Sheridan (111.) school for boys entered in the tournament said Melvin Bryant, assistant su perintendent of the school. He said tne school s policy permitted in mates to take part in high school level athletics. He said the boxing team at Springfield was under su pervision of school officials. U.S. Skaters Move-To Lead PARIS Wl Tim Brown and David Jenkins of the United States moved into the lead of the Men's World Figure Skating Championships Thursday after the first two compulsory figures. Brown, of Carmichael, Calif., a pre-med student at Colorado Col lege, replaced Alain Giletti of France in first place according to unolticial calculations of the com plicated place points. Jenkins, the defending champion and favorite from Colorado Springs, Colo., was in second place and Giletti in third. This order was not exactly con firmed by the scoring points which were awarded by the judges, but it is not infrequent to have a discrepancy between the scoring points and placing points in the early stages of a close competition. I f BOBBY MORROW . . . named top amateur Bob Morrow, Crow Honored DALLAS, Tex. (UP) Track ace Bobby Morrow and football star John Crow get the highest accolades available to them as amateur athletes tonight. The Sullivan Award, emblemat ic of the nation's outstanding am ateur athlete for 1957, goes to Morrow, recognized king of the world's sprinters. The United Press awards as the nation's football player of the year, the back of the year and as an All-America back will go to Crow, who won those honors by sweeping margins in balloting by the country's sports writers and sportscasters. In addition to the UP awards, Crow also will be honored by the Texas Sports Writers Assn. as Texas amateur athlete of the year and southwesterner of the year two honors that Morrow won for 1956. Schoendienst Sets Sights On Bat Title MILWAUKEE W Red Schoen dienst, the Milwaukee Braves' stylish second baseman, said Thursday he has his heart set on winning the National League bat ting title in about the only base ball bauble that has eluded him. "That's the one thing I'd really like to win before 1 go out of baseball," Schoendienst said. "I came close once, but not close enough." Red was referring to 1953 when Carl Furillo of the then Brooklyn Dodgers .shaded him .344 to .342. That was the year Furillo missed the last few weeks of the season because of a wrist injury. "I had a good shot at it," Schoendienst said. "I came along fast in the last month of the sea son, but alter 1 reacned 500 at bats I'd have to have a 5 for 5 day to pick up a point on him. He just stayed the same and won the title." Schoendienst, who was 35 on Feb. 2, admitted that the leadoff position and the fact that he sel dom draws a base on balls works against him as far as the batting title is concerned. "Sure, it's tougher," he said, "but I've got as good a chance as anybody else. That's the one goal I've set for myself- that I've never achieved." Four SF Giants Left Unsigned SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Only four San Francisco Giants re mained out of the fold today with the receipt of signed contracts from shortstop Daryl Spencer, pitcher Pete Burnside and rookie outfielder Willie Kirkland. Still unsigned were pitchers Johnny Antonelli, Ramon Mon- zant and Al Worthington and in fielder Jim Finigan. Spencer, who hit .250 last seas- son with 31 doubles and 11 hom ers, will be playing his fourth year with the club while Burnside a southpaw, came to the Giants from Minneapolis in midseason last year after posting a 10-5 rec ord with . the Millers. Kirkland has been playing in the Domini can Republic since getting out of the Army in December. Giardello Picks Up Ring Win PHILADELPHIA W-Joev filar- dello won a fight here last night but the fourth-ranking middle weight will need to be a lot sharp er if he plans to mix- it up with tough Carmen Basilio or aging Ray Robinson in the near future. The 27-year-old Brooklyn-born Italian won a unanimous io-round decision over Franz Szuzina, a lougn uerman mauler. The ver dicts of the referee and two judges reau 4-4i and 47-45. Alter winning the first two rounds handily, Giardello seemed to crawl into a shell. Through the mira, tourin and filth rounds, Szuzina. 27. baneed fiinrdplln with both hands and appeared on the verge of turning in a maior unset ne naa uiaraeno bleeding from cui aoove nis left eve and an. other across the left cheek. But biardello managed to find the range with long right hands and solid combinations in the late rounds. He piled up enough points ior nis vain win against 13 de- teats, 5 draws and 1 "no contest1 decision. The victory boosted Giardello's winning streak to 15 straight and kept alive his hopes of a summer title fight with the Basilio-Robin-son winner. His manager Tony Ferrante said Giardello may fight Charley Humez in April in Paris, or return to Philadelphia for a fight with "suitable opponent." i tnougnt I won real easy, said Giardello in the dressing room. "He never hurt me. My combinations worked better than I thought." TIME OUT 1 i l l : ' ' okooan'j r-t UMPIRE SCHOOL CPrfl .& 'That's It!
