For Ed Stanky
Gerry Staley won a ball game
and a suit of clothes while Mana
g. r Kddle Stanky of the St. Louis
Cardinals was ejected following a
protest by Manager Birdie Teb
bettH of the Cincinnati Redlegs.
The Cardinals took a 4-2 decision.
But that was just a byplay.
Stanky had promised the suit to
the first Cardinal pitcher to go the
route this season. Staley won the
award, holding the Reds to eight
hits, But Stanky wasn't around to
see the finish. He was tossed out
of the trail game In the third inn
ing. Tebbetts protested that Stan
key was falling to rehiain in the
third base coaching box. The Cin
cinnati manager said he was con
tinuing the game under protest.
Umpire Bill Jackowski ordered
stanky to remain in the coaching
box. Stanky obliged but doffed his
cap and danced like a chorus girl.
At that point he was ejected.
From the sounds of things it ap
peals that Stanky has inherited a

Ehirocher whom he played under

Forbes Fans Vine
In the pitching department
Forbes had control of the Vandal
bats most of the time. His control
was near perfect as he walked only
two batters. His tricky curves and
lightning fast-ball accounted for
nine strikeouts during the encoun
ter. Only in the fifth and sixth inn
ings did the visiting nine of Clem
Par berry manage to piek up runs'
on the Duck right-hander. It was
Forbes’ second ND pitching vic
tory against no defeats.
The Webfoots wasted little time
in marking up their first run of
the tussle. In the very first inning
John Keller was safe on an Idaho
error, went to third on Bob Wag
ner’s double and scored on Ron
Phillips grounder to second base.
Oregon picked up their second
score in the second inning on Mar
ion's aforementioned home run.
Iduho Rallies
Idaho almost got back into the
ball game in the fifth as singles
by Frank Teverbaugh and Bob
Haines opened the Inning and got J
Forbes into his first trouble of the
game. A passed ball by Marlett al
lowed the runners to advance and;
then Jerry Quane’s fly ball to cen-;
ter field brought in TeverbaughI
with the Vandal's first score.
Forbes got himself out of the j
spot by striking out Barton and
Speed Crazy Huskies
Shoot for ND Marks
The sportswriters weren't kid
ding last weekend when they wrote
that the Washington Huskies were
"off to a running start" in the 16
game Northern Division baseball
race.
In their two opening wins over
Idaho, coach Bill Marx's team stole
no less than 19 bases — that's
right, 19! Their fleet-footed out
fielder, Roland Halle, collected 7
of them, and on only one occasion
was a Husky-runner thrown out
attempting to steal.
These phenomenal totals promp
ted Paul Rossi, who covers the
Huskies for the Seattle P-I, to
label them ns the “Run-Run"
Huskies, a nickname which is like
ly to stick because Marx’s nine
loves to run and will do a lot more
of it before the season is over.
Of course, they probably won’t
maintain that nine and one-half
per-game clip, but Washington
might well set an unofficial divis
ion mark. Unofficial because sto
len base records, unfortunately,
haven't been too well kept in the
past. However, veteran writer
George Varncll, who has followed
Washington and ND baseball for
many, many years, says he can’t
recall any crusade on the base
paths to match the current one.
The figures in recent years,
where available, back Varnell's
Statement. In 1953, for example,
Oregon’s division champions stole
15 bases to lead the league in that
department, and the individual
leader, WSC’s Stan Poppe, collect
; ed only 5. By far the highest totals
in the last five years are the 38
stolen bases picked up by Wash
ington's 1949 team and the 11 cre
dited to the Huskies' Bill Andrlng
that same year.
The reasons for the outburst on
the bases are simple arid two-fold:
first, the tremendous over-all
speed of the Huskies, particularly
in the outfield; and second, the
coaching of Marx, who is serving
his first year at'the Washington
helm. He has his team hustling
like few ball clubs in ND history
— a warning that the league's
pitchers and catchers have a real
problem on their hands.

forcing Bob Falash to fly out.
With the score resting at a tight
2-1 count in Oregon » favor, the
Ducks really opened up in their
half of the fifth. Forbes started
the fireworks with a single to
right. Keller sacrificed him to sec
ond. Wagner then flew to right for
the second out and the rally seem
ed to be stopped.
Shaw Hits
But Shaw lined a base-knock
to left to score Forbes with the
first run of the inning, Dick
Schlosstein drew' a base on balls
and then on Phillips’ easy fly to
left Bud Nelson of the visitors
dropped the ball allowing both
Shaw and Schlosstein to cross the
plate. Jim Johnson fanned to end
the uprising. In all, three runs
