Dallas Bennett
Headliner On
Boxing Card
Local Ring Veteran To
Take On Sonny Orrock In
One Of 2 Main Events
Something new in fight pro
grams is scheduled for the Fri
day, May 27, fight card at the
Roseburg Armory. Promoters
Ernie Nazelrod and Sandy San
ders are billing a double main
event, with a host of talent set
to throw leather for a scheduled
26 rounds.
Douglas County boxing eifthu
siasts will be interested to note
that Dallas Bennett, Douglas
County deputy sheriff, will head
the card in a comeback fight
with Sonny Orrock of Spokane.
The fighting deputy is extreme
ly popular with the local ring ad
dicts, and many have wondered
if he had hung up his gloves for
good. But Orrock challenged
Bennett to a ring tussle recently.
and the tax collector couldn't
pass up the opportunity to show
he still has plenty of steam In the
mitts.
Bennett last fought here near
ly a year ago, with George Ek
stein, Grants Pass police officer
as his opponent. Ekstein, former
hampion of Minnesota, nounded
Tl?it a hard-fought decision over
Bennett, in a main event labeled
"The Battle of the Cops." Ben
nett was a member of the Rose
burg Police force at that time.
The Douglas County deputy
sheriff has been working out vig
orously ever since Orrock threw
the challenge at him. Promoter
Nazelrod, an ex-fighter himself,
said Bennett is coming along
fine in drills at the Armory train
ing quarters.
Orrock, who usually mixes a
clown act with his boxing, said
he would get down to business
in the coming tussle. "I know
Bennett is a rugged puncher," Or
rock said, "but I think I can cool
him."
Bennett was asked "what are
the chances for a Bennet admin
istered KO?" He stopped punch
ing the bag long enough to turn
around and wink significantly.

Pewee Baseball In Roseburg
Barney Koch, baseball coach and assistant football and basket
ball coach at Tigard High School, has been procured by Lockwood
Motors and Umpqua Post American Legion, sponsors to head peewee
and Junior Legion ball here this summer.
Koch played right field and
third base on the University of
Oregon team in 1943, hitting
around .333. Later, he was op
tioned ou't to the Montreal club,
by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1944, Koch finished out the
vear with Brooklyn's own Bums,
playing 39 games altogether. The
Dodgers were tnen in seventn
place in National League stand
ings. Back at the University of Ore
gon in 1945, Koch helped coach
the junior varsity team and in
his final year there (1947), he
was coaching the frosh team.
He is still property of the Mon
treal club. Recently he was
placed on the retired list. Koch
was born in Campbell, Neb., in
1923.
While playing infield with the
Millers of the Cascade League
last year, Koch hit at a terrific
pace of .416.
The new peewee and Junior

extent that he is available from
peewee and Junior Legion coach
ing. While Koch is finishing out the
school vear at Tigard, Coaches

14lh round-tripper of the season
provided the winning Angel run.
Guy Fletcher stagge.-ed through
his eighth straight win as Seat

Kennedy Hurls
Giants Into
Top Position
Shuts Out Cincinnati;
Pittsburgh Noses Braves;
Dodgers Turned Back
Associated Press Sportswriter
The New York Giants are be
ginning to reap some dividends
from the 525,000 they shelled out
to Richmond for Pitcher Montia
Kennedy in 19-16.
After years of frustration Ken
nedy is making the 25 grand price
tag look cheap with some of the
niftiest pitching by a Giant left
hander since the memorable days
of King Carl Hubbell.
Well poised and still possessing
the stuff that had the Giants and
opposition buzzing three years
ago, Kennedy has turned In four
victories, one more than he re
corded for the Giants all last
year.
Hurls Shutout
Kennedy pitched the Giants
Into undisputed possession of first
place In the National Leapue yes
terday with the finest perform
ance of his career, a 5-0 two-hit
triumph over the ambitious Cin
cinnati Reds.
The 27-year-old native of Ame
lia, Va., faced only 29 batters,
walked none, fanned two and re
tired the last 14 Reds in order.
Ted Kluzewski beat out a drib
bler in the third inning and Jim
my Bloodworth singled to left in
the fifth for the only Cincinnati
hits.
Pittsburgh helped the Giants at

Boston Braves, 21, under the
lights at Pittsburgh.
Rookie Bill Werle, outpitched

the Pirates and doubled home Ed

to be the winning run in the

Cards Beat Dodgers
The St. Louis Cardinals turned
back the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-2,
behind the steady nine-hit pitch
ing of Red Munger to halt their
three-game losing streak.
Munger and Dodger Rookie
Morris Martin were all squared
at 2-2 going into the sixth when
the Cards scored once and drove
Martin out. The Red Birds as
sured themselves of the decision
in the seventh when Enos Slaugh
ter cracked a three-run double off
Don Newcombe, rookie Negro
righthander, who was making his
major league bow.
Philadelphia crept to within a
half game of the American
League's second place Detroit
Tigers as Joe Coleman bested the
Tigers' Hal Newhouser, 2-1, in a
ten inning duel in a night game
at Shibe Park.
Ferris Fain singled home Ed
die Joost with one out in the ex
tra inning to give Coleman his
fifth victory of the year. Joost
socked his sixth homer in the
opening Inning.
Al Papai's knuckle ball was no
puzzle to the Washington Sen
ators who pounded his offerings
for six hits and five runs in three
innings in beating the St. Louis
Browns, 5-3 in an after dark game
at Washington.
The scheduled games between
the Chicago White Sox and New
York Yankees, the Cleveland In
dians and the Boston Red Sox
and the Philadelphia Phillies and
the Chicago Cubs were postponed

Bill Wilkening got up early

he stepped into his yard, how
ever. The fish had come to
him.
Salmon and crabs by the
hundreds were scattered in his
park-like front yard. They
were hanging from trees and
hiding in rose bushes.
"There were more fish than
I ever saw before in my life,"
said Wilkening. "I certainly
couldn't have caught that
many."
A truck loaded with the fish
went out of control and piled
into Wilkening's yard Just as
he had prepared to take off on
his fishing trip.

Thomas Scatters Hits
By ROD NEWLAND
Although North Bend outhit
Roseburg 10 to 6, the Umpqua
Chiefs defeated North Bend in
a game played on Finlay Field
Friday night by the score of
10 to 4. The game was threatened
by rain during the day result
ing in a sparse crowd to witness
the contest.
The game was literally hand
ed to the Chiefs by North Bend
In the bottom half'of the eighth
Inning, because the two North
Bend pitchers walked four men,
hit another, and the infield
bungled the ball three times to
allow Roseburg to score 7 runs
without collecting a single hiU
Koseburg s Hurler Thomas re
ceived credit for the win by scat
tering 10 hits over the nine in
ning rouie except for four in
the top half of the 6lh, and show
ing much better control than his
opponents.
North Bends young pitcher,
Warren Hunt, tossed a good hall
with hooks well mixed with his
other pitches to hold the Chiefs
to six well scattered hits, but his
wildness was his downfall. When
Castella relieved him, he issued
several walks including the clinch
ing run before he finally settled
down and put Roseburg back out
in the field.
In the hit department, North
Bend's Roundtree was outstand
ing with two hits in three offi
cial times at bat. For Roseburg,
Roy Long was the only man to
get two hits, while Virg Sanders,
Norm West, Jerry Hugging and
Harold Edgar each hit once.
The Chiefs will leave Sunday
morning at 8:30 for Prospect to
play their second league game.
