By NIEL CELLIRS
Newi-Rtvltw Sports Idlter
"I'm not sure how we did It, but
we won," was the typical reaction
of the Klamath FaUl Falcons' lana
after witnessing a confusing ninth
inning rally which law the home
team come from behind to even
the best-of-three Area IV Legion
playoff series with the Lockwood
Motors team of Roseburg Monday.
However, the explanation of the
rally was not as difficult at it first
seemed, being explained mosuy oy
Roseburg errors four in the
ninth to be exact.
In the ninth Inning uprising the
Falcons scored three runs on one
hit and the four Lockwood Motor
miscues to post a 9-8 trlumpn. 'me

as Roseburg had won the opener
Sunday on its home field, 2-0.

while either Dick Williams (8-1),
Ken Droscher (3-1), Lyle Charon

draw the nod for Roseburg.
' The weird bottom of the ninth
was commenced when Marv Ed
wards raced around to Second
when his grass-cutter scooted un
touched between the legs of second
baseman Gordon Avery. Kent Hun
aker followed with a towering tri
ple to right-center field to score
Edwards. Dave Saks sent a hard
grounder at Avery, and after look
ing the runner back to third Rose
burg's second sacker tossed to Den
nis Arana at first.
Arana lost control of the throw
and It dropped on the base line to
wards home plate. Saks and Aran
collided while Arana was trying to
recover the ball and both players
were , momentarily unconscious
from the crash. However, both
shrugged off the injuries and stay
ed in the game. Avery, alertly re
covered the ball after the colli
sion to prevent the tielng run from
scoring.
A near-perfect bunt laid down
the third base line by Terry Maw
scored Hunsaker and left runners
at first and second with no outs,
Kent Franklin tried to advance
the runners, but Sski was forced
it third.
Wlnnlrtf Run
Then the roof caved in as relief
hurler Tom Hobbs got Larry Bin-
ney to hit a grounder at Avery.
Avery tossed to French for the
force on Franklin, but the relay
to first was late. Arana rapidly
threw across the diamond in an
attempt to get Maw trapped off
base, but the Falcon runner alid In
safely. On the play at third Bin
ney raced to second, then forget
ting the runner wss out scamper
ed back towards first. Roseburg
third baseman Bob Manning at
tempted to get Binney going back,
but threw wildly allowing tha win
ning run to score.
. Roseburg had taken command of
the game in the second inning
when back-to-back singles by Jim
Beamer, Hobbs and Glen Fortune
loaded tha bases to set the scene
for Manning's line shot down the
left-field line which brought In
three runs and left Manning at
third. Fronch brought Manning
home with a three-bagger.
Roseburg added a single run In
the fifth on a triple by French
and a single by Doug Coplin, two
runs in the seventh on two hits and
two Klamath Falls errors and a
lone counter in the ninth on singles
by Arana and Hobbs and a sacrl
fice by Beamer.

Robinson, Feller Named To Baseball's Hall Of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N. Y. (UPI)
Things were back to normal in
this normally peaceful upstate
New York community today, but
the memory of misty-eyed and
emotion-laden speeches by base
ball's newest Hall of Famers will
remain as long as the game can
still lay claim as America's
greatest pastime.
This tiny birthplace of baseball
Monday was swelled by a crowd
of more than 4,000 who watched
Commissioner Ford Frick formal
ly induct Jackie Robinson, Bob
Feller, Bill McKechnie and Edd
Roush into the Hall of Fame
the game's greatest tribute to its
own stars.
Robinson, the first Negro to
play in the major leagues and
the first of his race to become
a member of the Hall of Fame,
was the most eloquent of the four
newest inductees, all of whom
made an attempt to express their
thanks.
"I feel inadequate, but every
thing now seems complete," said
the grey-haired 43-year-old for
mer Brooklyn Dodger infielder,
while fighting a growing lump in
bis throat.
"It could not have happened
without the guidance of three of
the most wonderful people I
know, all of them are here to
day. One is a man whom I con
sider like a father, Branch Ric
key," Jackie continued. "Then
there is my mother, who taught
me so many things, and my wife,
Rachael, who has been such a
wonderful inspiration to fie."
Roush, former Cincinnati Reds
and New York Giants outfielder
who compiled a .323 lifetime bat
ting average in 18 major league
seasons, preceded Robinson,
briefly thanking the (old timers)
committee "that voted me in. and
I'm glad I'm in there along with
the rest of the fellows."
McKechnie Seems Overcome
McKechnie, the only National
League manager to lead three
different teams to pennants, was
third in line and appeared to be
the most overcome with emotion.
"Anything I have contributed to
baseball I've been repaid seven
times seven," he said.
Feller, the former Cleveland In
dians fireballer and the only
pitcher to hurl three no-hit, no
run games in the post 1900-era,
added a note of levity to the fes
tivities, -but there was a feeling
among many who knew him best
that he was . merely trying to
mask his emotions.
"Some of the records I hold are
not listed on this plaque and
some are in jeopardy," said the
former Iowa farmboy. "But two
records which are not (in jeopar
dy) are those for most bases on
balls in one season and for a ca
reer. An exhibition game scheduled
between the New York Yankees
and the Milwaukee Braves at Ah
ner Doubleday Field was washed
out.
I Th News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Tues., July 24, 1962
Pad res Still Dominate PCL;
Beavers Edged By Islanders
Pacific Coast League Roundup
y United Press International
San Diego continues to cut
through the rest of the Pacific
Coast League like a sharp knife
goes through warm butter.
The Padres looked tough in the
field, at bat, and on the pitcher's
mound Monday night as they
piled up a 6-1 win over Seattle.
It was the Pads' 12th win in their
last 14 outings and gave them an
eight game bulge over second
place Salt Lake.
Other action found Hawaii nudg
ing Portland, 3-3, at Hawaii while
Spokane collected one of ils rare
wins with a 2-1 decision over Van
couver. John Tsitouris tossed a three
hitter for San Diego, while Jesse
Gonder collected two homers and
Ken Walters added one. Veteran
Jim Rivera hit a four-master for
the losers to ruin the San Diego's
pitchers's shutout bid.
Homers played a big role in
Hawaii's win, too. Joe Hannah
and Stan Palys cracked them to
account for all the Islanders'
runs.
Hawaii ace Dick Egan picked
up his 12th win, but it was the
fine relief work of Hal Griggs that
saved the bacon.
Spokane's Indians won their
third decision in IS tries against
the Mounties.
Howie Reed went the distance
and pitched a four-hitter. In the
fourth Spokane's Dick Tracewski
and Nate Oliver doubled and Rod
Graber tripled to account for the
Indians' runs.
