Briggs Racks No. 9,
4-1 After 8-7 Nod
By AL LIGHTNER
Statesman Sports Editor
The town Senators turned Sun
day's sunny afternoon into one of
sheer glee at Waters Field as
they spilled the aggresssive but
vulnerable Wenatchee Chiefs in
both ends of the doubleheader,
8-7 and 4-1. It took 10 innings to
accomplish the 8-7 victory, but
young Johnny Briggs needed only
the regulation seven in the night
cap to rack up his ninth conquest
of the campaign.
Now ahead in the series by a
2-1 count, the Salems will go
at George (Highpockets) Kelly's
spirited band in another mix to
night at 7:30 o'clock, this one the
makeup for Saturday night's rain
out. Ted Shandor, himself a former
Senator, is to hurl for Wenatchee.
Ernie Domenichelli is Manager
Hugh Luby's choice for the So
lons. Winning the Sabbath duet
amounted to quite a boost for
the Senators, as in doing so they
climbed from ninth to seventh
in the standings and are now but
two games out of fifth and three
out of fourth.
Luckless Lefty Tom Del Sarto
had Sunday's opener all set for
the Salem satchel, with a 7-4 lead
in the ninth inning. But a com
bination of a hit batter, a single
by Dick Stacey, a walk to Tony
Rivas and Lloyd Jenney's three
run double to deep center tied
the score.
Jose Rayle had been brought in
to pitch to Rivas, and was tagged
for Jenny's clout after passing the
second-sacker.
Rayle got the next two swing
ers out, and after the Salems had
been checked in their portion of
the ninth, despite getting two
runners aboard, he again turned
the foe back in the tenth.
Billy Joe Waters, winner of
Friday night's 6-3 game and the
fifth flinger to go into action for
the Chiefs in this one, got Bob
Kellogg out on a liner to Rivas
.to start within the Salem tenth.
But then Floyd Ogden, the young
never-give-up workhorse catcher
smashed a sharp line drive to
center.
Stacey tried to shoe-string the
ball, missed it, and Ogden churn
ed all the way to third, sliding
in with a jolt that almost tore the
bag loose. Kelly' strategy was to
purposely walk the bases loaded,
to that a force play would be
available at the plate-.
Luby countered this by having
Mel Krause try a squeeze bunt,
which was goofed up when Mel
fouled off what would have been
Waters' faUl pitch.
But the enemy righthander
was merely ' living on borrowed
time, as Krause with' two strikes
grounded a single smack back
through the middle to score Og
den with the winner.
Salem had seven runs after five
innings on eight base hits, tw hit
batsmen and a pair , of sacrifice
flies.

Weather seemed to be the big bugaboo again in last week's
fishing. Winds, rain and somewhat lower than normal tempera
tures for most of the week had the fishing success at a low
point. By the

ing in the Redmond area was fair with only a few scattered anglers
taking fish. Spin fishing was a bit more productive with small
wobbling spoons accounting for some good catches.
Sooth of Bend the Little Deschutes and Crescent creek were
rounding into good shape. Nymphs and dry flies took their
toll of brown trout with 1 few rainbow tossed in for good
measure. The big Deschutes below Pringle Falls was good to
the spin fisherman and the troller with a couple of brown
trout coming out which weighed in the neighborhood of six
pounds.
'Brookies Were Caught in Big Lava Lake
Big Lava lake gave up some fair catches of brook trout to the
spin fishermen and the worm tosser. The brookies in Big Lava
are runing to good siie this year and many of the Lava lake anglers
are happy over the results of the recent poisoning and restocking
Lof those waters.
East lake continues to give up its share of trout with the
better catches going to the single egg angler. The weather
is still a hazard at that popular spot but it seems te make .little

the "home" team, inasmuch as the clash was booked, for the Capi

The Yakima Bears, obviously
after the league-leading Vancouver
Capilanos' high perch, cut the
Caps' margin to four games Sun
day by taking both ends of a West
ern International League double
header with the Tri-City Braves.
Scores were 10-7 and 12-4 as the
Yaks unloaded their batting pow
er. Charley Mead hit two homers
and Lonnie Summers had one for
the Bears.
Calgary finally won a game from
Spokane, 17-8 at Calgary, but only
after Spokane had taken the open
er 9-1 on Bud Closs' hurling. That
was Spokane's sixth straight win.
Ten "homers" were hit in the twin
bill.
Edmonton's John Conant hurled
a 2-1 win over Lewiston in the
first of two games at Edmonton,
but the Broncs took the sepond,

Pitcher Johnny Beck of the
Woodburns held the Salems to one

The lone Salem marker came
in the third when Catcher Bob
Beals walked and then proceeded
to steal second, third and home.
Woodburn scored in the fifth
when Beck singled, moved up on
John Owen's double and scored on
an error. Another run came across

Darrell McCall. Howard Seater's

Trabert, Connolly
Seen as Champions
By STERLING SLAPPEY
LONDON LP The big show of
the tennis world the Wimbledon
tournament gets under way Mon
day with Americans in -the favor
ite's roles for both the men's and
women's titles.
Tony Trabert. the No. 1 United
States Davis Cup player, is ex
pected to win the coveted men's
singles after wading through a
tough field, while Maureen (Little
Mo) Connolly, now a pert miss of
19, is the heavy choice among the
women.
This will be a particularly im
portant event for Trabert, the
crew-cut Cincinnati youth. He has
quit -college to concentrate on ten
nis with the thought in mind of
turning professional at the end of
the season if he shows well.
' But this 68th edition of the
venerable tournament will pose a
problem, indeed, for him. If he is
to go to the final on July 2, he'll
have to wade through just about
the entire Australian delegation
with the exception of Lewis Hoad.
Trabert doesn't figure to have
any trouble with his first-round
opponent, Paul Wooler, an English
club player, when he takes the
polished center court reserved for
the greats of amateur tennis.
But in succeeding rounds he has
his work cut out for him. Both
Ken Rosewall and Mervyn Rose,
two extremely tough Australians,
also are in his section of the draw
along with Sven , Davidson of
Sweden, who won the United
States indoor championship last
winter, and Kurt Nielsen of Den
mark, who made the finals here
last year.
For his part, Hoad, ranked by
many experts the world's No. 1
amateur, has no sinecure, either.
Lew can look forward to un
pleasant afternoons with defending
champion Vic. Seixas of Philadel
phia, the canny veteran Gardnar
Mulloy of Miami, 1950 winner
Budge Patty of Los Angeles, ex
American champion Art Laxsen of
San Leandro, Calif., and Jaroslav
Drobny of Egypt, who makes a
habit of winning European titles.
London bookmakers have set the
odds against Trabert as 6-4, while
they're 8-4 against Hoad, 5-1
against Rosewall, and 8-1 each)
against Larsen, Patty and Seixas.
Rescue Again
Given Spokane
SPOKANE m The Spokane
Indians baseball team was almost
disbanded again Sunday, but a
last-minute assist from the Van
couver Capilanos and Spokane's
Athletic Round Table put the team
back on the road.
Don Osborn, manager of the
Indians, said Sunday that if the
tickets for the team's train trip
to Vancouver did not arrive in
Calgary by noon, he would have
to bring the team home, notify
the parent Philadelphia Phillies,
and "pull the players out". Osborn
had already arranged for a bus
to bring the Tribe back to Spokane
after the finalCalgary game.
The tickets aft-wed from Van
couver, next stop for the traveling
Indians, at 10:30. '
Meanwhile, Joe Albi, president
of the ART, was busy rounding
up money to send to the team. He
dispatched $450, compliments of
the ART.
The Spokane club, one of the
more financially troubled teams in
the Western International League,
has been granted a weefc of grace
to raise money to continue oper
ations after the league took over
the club's franchise.
But the fund drive, headed by
the newly formed Save Spokane
Indians Inc., appears bogged down
with little of the estimated $40,000
needed raised to date.

His Reward
VWJt-Vf .
Tuesday night at the ball park.
In no way a promotional scheme
to boost sagging attendance, the
club directors feel that spontane
ous action on the part of the gen
eral public Tuesday night will de
termine the immediate future of
the ball dub. 4
They are using Tuesday night as
a measuring stick, so , to speak.
They want to know if general .in
terest in the sport still exists here.
There will be no special admission
fees, no special entertainment.
Consequently, if a crowd of from
4,000' to 5,000 turns out, the direc
tors will konw that enough interest
exists' to warrant their efforts to
continue the operation.
But if only half that many show
up, realizing the issue at stale,
the directors will take immediate
steps to begin the closure cf the
operation and franchise.
To avoid as much of a parking
problem as possible, Carl Wendt
of the City Bus Lines has an
nounced that he will run special
baseball buses to and from the
park Tuesday, free to the riding
public.
This is the free bus schedule:
Leave Keizer at 6:45 p.m., trav
eling on Commercial Street to
Court and then on out State Street
to 25th and the park. Leave Holly
wood at 7 p.m., taking the regular
Capitola bus route. Leave Engle
wood at 7 p.m., traveling on Mar
ket and Summer Streets and on
out to the park. Leave Candalaria
district at 7 p.m., traveling on
South Commercial and Liberty.
Leava State Hospital at 7 p.m..
traveling through the Capitol
Shopping Center before swinging
toward ball park.
Also, two of the free buses will
leave the regular Liberty & State
Streets base at 6:43 and 7:15 p.m.
The buses will remain at the ball
park and will make return trips on
the sene routes as followed ear
lier. A downtown parade is to take
place at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, start
ing at the public library and in
cluding band, police escort, fire
engine, uniformed ballplayers and
anyone who of his own accord
wishes to enter truck, car, bus,
etc.
All ticket windows at the ball
park will be open for business
Tuesday, starting at 6 p.m.
"There may be some discomfort
for fans what with a possible huge
crowd converging on the park,"
the directors add. "But we feel
that if the' folks want baseball to
stay here badly enough, they'll put
up with it this one night."

Furgol Future
In Links Play
Is Uncertain
By WILL GRIMSLEY
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. OP The
tournament future Is uncertain for
National Open champion Ed Fur
gol, golf's "forgotten man."
After his surprising 40-to-l shot
victory at Baltusrol Saturday over
the game's greatest, the person
able Clayton, Mo., pro was queried
about impending plans.
Will he play in the PGA cham
pionship at St. Paul, Minn., July
21-27?
"How can I?" Furgol replied.
"I didn't qualify. I failed in my
district."
The leading pros of the open
were going up to Briarcliff, N.Y.,
Sunday for a one-day tournament
would Furgol be along?
"No, sir," the successor to Ben
Hogan answered." They didn't
think I was good enough. I wasn't
invited."
Golf is going to have to make
room for this lean, 37-year-old pro
who overcame the handicap of a
crippled left arm and numerous
hardships to attain the sport's
highest goal.
"I don't know what my future
plans are now," Furgol said. "I
am not a touring pro any more.
I am a club pro. I make my living
by giving lessons.
"I think the open champion
should be an active champion. I
like to play in tournaments. But
whether I increase my schedule
depends on the Westwood Golf
Club of Clayton. There's where my
first obligation lies."
Furgol said he probably would
compete in the All-America and
world championship events at Tarn
O'Shanter, just outside Chicago,
Aug. 5-15. There's a $150,000 pot
of gold waiting there.
Furgol shot four steady rounds
of 71, 70, 71 and 72 over the long
par 70 course to beat 23-year-old
Gene Littler of Palm Springs,
Calif., by a single stroke. Littler,
last year's amateur champion now
a pro, missed an eight-foot birdie
putt on the 72nd he needed for a
tie.
Another young pro, Dick Mayer
of St. Petersburg, Fla., took a
seven on the final hole "when a
par five also would have given
him a tie. He finished at 2S6 with
Lloyd Mangrum of Niles, 111.
RACER KILLED
CHARITON. Iowa Ul Ben Ty
ler, 25, Des Moines stock car driv
er, died at a Chariton Hospital Sun
day of burns and injuries he re
ceived in a racing accident here
Saturday night.
Tyler's car flipped over seven
times, then burst into flames after
a pileup during the first lap of the
opening race.
