The unbeaten Southern Oregon

its perfect record nearly smashed
until a fateful sixth inning when
leftfielder George Ice poled a two
run triple that aided the "Big
Last Place
Yankees?
Could Be
NEW YORK (UPP This
could be the day that staggers
the imagination the day the
proud, world champion New York
Yankees tall into last place
It will happen if the Yankees
lose their day game to the De
troit Tigers, current tenants of
the cellar, who Tuesday night
handed the champs their fifth loss
in their last six games, 6-3, be
hind lefty Don Mossi.
It's a situation never dreamed
of in the pre-season dope, when
the Yankees were favored to re
peat as American League champs.
And, in his hour of desperate
need, manager Casey Stengel
finds himself calling on the lit
tlest Yankee" of them all Bobby
Shantz to hold off the barbarians
at the gate. Stengel had planned
to pitch World Series hero Bob
Turley, but the burly Turley
needs more rest.
"I thought we did our best hit
tin' in a long time last night,"
sighed Stengel. "But when we got
the hitting we didn't get the
pitching."
That's a sad, familiar story to
ether ball clubs, of course, but
the Yankees seldom have found
themselves m those straits dur
ing the past 10 years as Stengel
directed them to nine pennants.
Now that the day of unexpected
doom may be at hand, Stengel
was taking it calmly, just as
years ago he took defeat after
defeat in stride as manager of
hopeless Brooklyn Dodgers and
Boston Braves.
He spoke wistfully in the New
York dressing room of moves he
would like to make, knowing that
the only thing that really could
help would be if the Yanks would
start putting their heads together
to score more runs (they left
nine more runners stranded Tues
; day night.)
"I got to go with young (Cletis)
Boyer at third right now because
he's lookin' all right," said Sten
gel. "And I would like to give
(Johnny) Blanchard a chance to
catch I know he can hit but I
would like to see if he's a big
league catcher."
"But," he added with the fa
miliar twinkle, "I would like to
win a game first before 1 try
that."
The last place Yankees? It
could be.
West Virginia baseball star, Jer
ry West, not only is a defensive
ace, but last season he averaged
2fc points a game.

Pelicans in Gem Stadium Tuesday
afternoon.
The .Whitebirds roared back in
the second game after being down,
5-1 in the-first inning to snatch a
9-8, five inning victory in the sec
ond and non-counting half of the
twinbill.
The win gives coach J o h ii
Kovenz' Medfordites a 7-6 confer
ence record, entirely out. of reach
of the balance of the league. For
the Pels the loss was number four
as compared to three wins for the
conference season

Griggs reached him for a single in
the first, setting the stage for
three Pelican markers in the sec
ond inning. An error on shortstop
Cal Dean, singles by Pelicans Lar
ry Bunyard and Steve Binney and
a pair of walks off Laurance ac
counted for the three tallies and
the "lifting" of Laurance. Dennis
Barr, Laurance's relief, gave up
the fourth KU counter in the third
after KU Pel first sacker Dean
Dunson poled a towering triple
that scored Don Gresdel who had
gotten aboard via free pass.
Barr, however, tightened up
from here on and effectively stifled
the Pel attempts, allowing only
one base knock the rest of the
way.
Barr was credited with the vic
tory while Pelican relief man Bob
Wilkinson, the surprising fresh
man, was tagged with the defeat
Wilkinson who came in as relief
for Griggs in the sixth found two
Medford men on the sacks after
two runs had already scored. An
error by third baseman Larry
Bunyard on a fielder's choice filled
the bases.
A disputed decision on the part
of the plate umpire ended with
Medford being allowed a run to
walk home from third. Wilkinson
was charged with a balk after Ko
venz argued with the umpire who
eventually reversed his original
call. The walked-in run tied the
score
The heroes for the Medford
squad were first baseman Lowell
Dean and Ice. Dean and Ice each
contributed three hits in four trips
to the plate, one being a two run
triple by Ice in the sixth.
In the top of the seventh, with
the score tied, Dean led off with a
single, Ice singled, and then each
scored when centerfielder Jerry
Anderson followed .suit. A tower
ing sacrifice by catcher Bob Pond
put the icing on the cake.
In the second game the Medford
winning ways appeared set to con
tinue as they reached Wilkinson,
who started, for four consecutive
singles. An error by second base
man Steve Binney helped the Tor
nado to count five runs before the
fire was put out.
The Pelicans bounced back (or

Orioles On The Wing; Braves Keep Rolling
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Those Baltimore Orioles are do
ing things the hard way and mak
ing it look easy While hovering
near the American League lead.
They're third, l'-j games shy of
first, alter winning six of their
last eight. But it hasn't been a
breeze not when they've had
to take three or four from front-
running Cleveland and Chicago's
White Sox to do it.
Tuesday night, just 24 hours
after Hoc Brown and Billy Loes
combined for a shutout that
knocked Cleveland out of first,
youngsters Billy O'Dell and Jerry
Walker ended Chicago s brief stay
on top by beating the White Sox
2-1.
Cleveland jumped back into the
lead, a half-game ahead of Chi
cago, with a 5-2 victory at Wash
ington. Last place Detroit moved
within .025 percentage points of
seventh-place New York by beat
ing the Yankees 6-3. The Kansas
City at Boston game was rained

In the National League. Milwau
kee took a 4'j-game lead as the
Braves won their sixth straight,

Good Bullpen
Detroit Cure
NEW YORK (AP) - Jimmy
Dykes says there is nothing wrong
with his Detroit Tigers that a good
bullpen wouidn t cure.
"It's a good ball club," the vet
eran of many managerial and
coaching jobs says of the team he
suddenly found himself directing
about three weeks ago when Bill
Norman was fired.
"The one thing wrong is. that
when we have to go to the null
pen we're in trouble. We could
use one or two more starters,
too.
The Tigers' bullpen trouble trac
es to the inability of Paul Foy-
tack to perform as expected. He's
started eight times and has yet to
go the route.
With Foytack faltering, it was
necessary to bring in Don Mossi
from the bullpen to take up the
slack. Mossi has been doing fine
in his new role, but is sorely
missed in relief.
The original Tiger bullpen had
as its standbys Mossi. Ray Nar-
leski and Tom Morgan. Morgan
has been ill.. Narleski got away to
a terrible start, but has been good
in two of his last three relief
stints.
Dykes makes no secret of his
hopes that a deal might be made
for a pitcher or two.
Dykes declines to take credit for
the club's improved showing since
he took over as manager. Prior to
that time it had won 2 games and
lost 15. Under his direction it has
won 10 and lost S.
"The hitting is good," he ob
serves. "But unless we get com
plete games from our starters
we're in for a tough time."
