'The Miners, in spite of a tragedy that struck the family of one of the squad's top players, Gary Grcsham, returned home Sunday night with more proof of their abil ity, the 16th Annual Acker tourna ment trophy, which they won han tdily at Redding over the weekend. The Acker, unique in its tourna ment scoring system, pits eight of the top Northern California prep squads in a three-day affair. The (cams play a round robin schedule and earn points towards the cham pionship off a score differential per game. The Yrekans won five games and lost one, piling up a total of plus-42 "which easily outdistanced the second place team, El Camino of Sacramento, which collected plus-29. In third place was Aca lanes High with plus-21. Fourth was Shasta Union of Redding with a minus-5. Chico High grabbed the fifth spot with a minus-9. The Miners dealt Red Bluff a S7-27 defeat in the first round, topped Acalanes (Lafayette) 33-24 in the second, beat El Camino 47 81. stumbled 28-24 to Shasta, then roared back to dump Chico 23-18 and Oroville 33-27. Joe Cunningham Filling In Cards1 Second Base Gap ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Don Blasingame, one of theebest leadoff batters now in business, was traded to San Francisco, so who do the St. Louis Cardinals have to take his place? The answer, they hope is Joe Cun ningham, a guy who's getting used to new jobs. At 28, Cunningham has had only three full seasons in the majors, finally dodging Stan Musial's shadow when the .Cards shifted him from first base to the out field. Last season, Cunningham cast a shadow of his own, finish ing second in the National League batting race with a .345 average. Milwaukee's Hank Aaron won the title with .355. Still, as a leadoff man, he's low. And his runs baited in last sea ion were No. 3 among the Cards District Champions Hi , ' A ' I tr . J I I DAN ROSS . Pel co-captain 1 , . i DAVE KENNON . . .

Big Bill Wilson who scored 75 points for the number two tourney honors, Al Eddy, who hit for 30, and Gary Grcsham, who collected 2!) tola points, were each ranked high on the 10-man All-Slar team. Acalanes High placed two men, as did EI Camino. Shasta, Chico, and Oro ville each added one. Shasta's Ross Carter scored 90 points to earn top point honors and an All-Star berth. Other Yreka tourney scoring in eluded a 2!) point effort by Daryl Sevcrns, 25 by Arlin Santord, the top field goal percentage (.526) shooter, and six by freshman Jim Hill. Owl Hoofs To Meet The Oregon Tech backers' association, the Owl Hoots, will meet in regular session tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Chuck Wag on Restaurant, It is important that all mem bers attend, said president Estin Kiger.

Back this year (behind Ken Boy er, 94: Bill White 72). Which means Manager Solly Hemus has trimmed the run production of one of his leading run producers in moving Cunningham from the middle of the batting order to leadoff. o Hemus has his answers ready. "Who says a leadoff man has to be fast?" he asks. "Look at Eddie Stanky, maybe the best there was. And he was as slow as they come. "But the big thing is Cunning ham is the only man I have for the job. I mean a guy who will give us a good job. "He gets on base. He had 158 hits, 88 bases on halls and was hit by a pitch five times last year. That's a .455 on-base aver age. He should give us good job." DAVE GONZALES . . .

The 6-foot-S smoothie whipped in 43 pcints in a 114-105 victory over Cincinnati Sunday to become the fifth player in the" National Basketball Assn. to score 2,000 points in one season. ' That's nice," said Baylor with a characteristic absence of pas sion. "I just want to gel? Ihc.se games out of the way." He meant the drudgery of play ng out the schedule until the playolls come. A year ago as a rookie Baylor carried the Lakers through the Western Division semifinals and Ihcn beat the St. Louis Hawks for the divisional championship. The setting this year is compar able. Minneapolis got into Uie playoffs only because Cincinnati was worse. Sunday Baylor was playing as well as Baylor can play which is somewhere between marvelous and out of this world. They slopped the game to present him with the ball after he hit his 2,000 point. Baylor thus joined the company of George Yardlcy, Bob Pettit, Wilt Chamberlain and Jack Twy man, all of whom have scored more than 2.000 points in a sea son. Baylor officially stands at 2, 006 today. He hit 1,742 a year ago when he was voted the league's lop rookie. The Lakers, with Baylor hitting at a 30-point-a-game clip, meet Detroit in the best two-of-thre Western Division semifinal play off. In the same game that brought Baylor his 2000th point, Cincin nati's Twyman connected with 26 points and boosted his total to 2,- 303. Far out in front of the high scoring quintet is Philadelphia's Chamberlain. The 32 points Wilt scored as the Warriors dropped a 128-109 decision to the St. Louis Hawks gave him 2,676 for the sea son.
