Hollywood Takes Measure
Of Portland, 4-3, in Second
Coast Season Baseball Game
By Hal Wood
' (United Press Spurts Writer) .'' ,'
San Francisco, March 30 (U.E) Judging by their first two
performances, you can count the defending champion Holly
wood Stars "in" on the 1950 Pacific Coast league pennant
race on spirit alone.
Manager Fred Haney apparently has instilled the same
never-say-die attitude into the club that brought it to the top
last year. As a result, the boys aren't quitting, no matter
what the odds, until that well-
known last out.
Last night was a good ex
ample. Trailing Portland, 0-3,
going into the last of the
ninth, the Twinks deadlocked
the score with a three-run
rally'.' Then they went on to win
in tne lutn innmg, 4-3. Tne nignt
before, they came from behind in
the last inning to tie the game,
only to lose in the extra frame.
3 Tough Teams
As a matter of fact, the three
southern California teams look as
though they may do better than
just a bit of all right in the cur
rent Pacific Coast league race.
Los Angeles and San Diego are
tied at the top of the standings
with two victories and no defeats
each. The Padres edged San Fran
cisco by a 4-3 count, and the An
gels slapped Sacramento around,
9-3. In the other game of the
evening, Seattle thumped Oak
land, 8-2, to square the series.
The Hollywood victory in the
10th came when pitcher Ray Mc
Nulty uncorked a wild pitch with
the bases loaded to send across
the winning tally. Earlier, Red
Lynn had blanked the Twinks for
eight innings before their ..ninth-
inning uprising.
The Padre home-run power put
on its first display of the season
in the bordertown victory over
tlie Seals. The winhirig blow was
a four-bagger by outfielder Harry
Simpson wltn a man aboard in tne
fifth frame.
At Oakland, veteran Inf ielder
Tony York collected three
doubles; and rookie outfielder
Dick Sinovlc hit a home run in
the 11-hit Rainier attack on a trio
of Acorn pitchers.-
Los Angeles exploded for six
runs in the third inning, sending
hurler Jack Brewer to the show
ers, as the Aneele clinched their
second straight victorv. Outfield- 35 workers industriously turning

But stretching back behind the
plain shop facing the street is
beehive of industry, room after
room of people whose lives are
dedicated to turning out a pro
duct which thrills the soul of
Scotland. Here, in a townof 3,000,
there are 3.000 golfers and four
golf courses. Everybody in the
shop has a pet club and is hon
ored to be turning it out.
Hand Forged
Far in the back is an angular,
grey-haired Scotsman named Jim
Cluney. One of his brothers,
George, formerly was the pro at
the famed Merion cricket club
in Philadelphia. But Big Jim is
content to take the rustless iron
bars and forge them into rough
clubheads.
From there the clubheads are
hand ground to within one-six-telnth
of an ounce, hand-marked
with their biting grooves by a
muscular young man with a chis
el and hammer, and polished to
mirror-like perfection.
There is no mass production as
North Berwick, Scotland, March
30 iU'i Buried behind the ancient
facades on a quaint little street
in this resort city on the Firth
of Forth is one of the most as
tounding, and unpublicized, golf
club factories in the world.
It is operated by Ben Sayres,
a gnarled little man of 65 who
once was known as "Wee Ben"
Sayres, scourge of the links in
the British isles.
"Wee Ben" could have been one
of the most famed golf pros ever
to come out of this nation where
golf was born. But he had a
choice ,to make. It was whether
to play the game or help others
to play it. Sayres. loved golf so
devotedly that he chose to fash
ion the weapons with which oth
ers hack and scar the turf and
drive a little white ball from tee
to cup.
They don't turn out many clubs
in this tiny shop hidden away in
scenic Scotland, but What they
do make are loving examples of
the craft which is giving way to
machine workmanship.,.
Clubs Have "Feel"
Henry Cotton plays their put
ter because it has the feel and
the touch which holes the long
onete. And from all over the
world, from the United States,
India, China and wherever this
daffy game tortures citizens with
Its illusions of perfection, orders
pour into the ti'.iy shop on the
Firth.
From the street, with its neat,
plain windows flanking a tiny
door, you wouldn't much care to
venture within. There is no indi
cation that behind that mask
there is a humming behive of
Tag Team Match
Promises Action
On Card Tonight
A tag team match which prom
ises plenty of furious action will
be the bill of fare at the wrestling
matches tonight at the Bend ar
mory. ,
Highlight of the evening will
be the attempted ring comeback
of promoter Tex Hager, who will
match himself with Al Szasz
against Karl Grey and "Gentle
man Dale" Haddock in the main
event tag affair.
Hager hung up his wrestling
togs several months ago after sus
taining a serious back injury, but
has decided that he is again fit,
and in recent weeks has been
itching to get himself back into
the wrestling wars. The stocky
promoter weighs 186 pounds.
Two Newcomers
. The semi-final event on to
night's card will bring together
a couple of newcomers to Bend.
"Silent" Rattan, a deaf mute, and
Steve Karas, from Greece. Both
men, according to Hager, are fast,
clever wrestlers and can be ex
pected to give the crowd a col
orful and interesting show. .
Karas and Rattan will wrestle
in a best two out of three falls
match with a time limit of 45 min
utes being set.
The preliminary bouts will
bring together the four men who
will appear later in the tag team
affair. It is anticipated that Al
Szasz may ask to be pitted against
Haddock so that he may have a
chance' to get revenge for a vi
cious beating -which he suffered
against "the Gentleman" last
week in Bend.
The first bout will begin at 8:30
p.m. The card is sponsored un
der the auspices of Bend's Com
pany I of the 162nd Infantry na
tional guard unit.
Eldred Breese will referee.
NO TRACK VACATION
Prineville, March 30 Lee Gus
tafson, Crook county high school
athletic coach, said Wednesday
that no vacation from track and
field practice will be in store next
week for his 1950 squad, although
classes will be dismissed for the
week as teachers go to Portland
for the annual meeting of the
Oregon Education association.

cold weather has been a hamper

State League
Desires Bend
Baseball Nine
The Oregon State league Is re
luctant to drop Bend and officials
of the league have asked local
fans and ball players to make an
effort to locate a sponsor, Ray
Brooks, secretary of the state cir
cuit, reports from Portland.
This past week, the Bend Elks
announced they were stepping out
of the baseball picture, after
sponsoring state league teams for
some 20 years. In fact, old timers
recall, it was Bend that took the
lead in organizing the state
league. .
In making a plea that a new
effort be launched to obtain Bend
representation In the Oregon
baseball circuit, Brooks said that
league officials will cooperate in
every manner possible. He said
the circuit is reluctant to drop
Bend because of the part local
baseball leaders and teams have
played in the history of the league
through the years.
Long Trips Involved
The league has always been wil
ling to accept a Bend entry,
Brooks points out, despite the
fact that - inclusion of the mid-
state team has meant long trips
over tne cascades for western
Oregon teams. Bend has been the
only team from east of the Cas
cades taking part in state league
play.
A survey here today revealed
that sponsorship of a Bend team
by any local organization this
year appears remote. In early
days the Eagles sponsored a Mid
Columbia league team, then drop
ped out. The Elks have sponsored
all Bend teams that have taken
part in Oregon State league play.
Brooks has indicated that no
action cancelling the Bend fran
chise will be taken until Bend
further ponders the matter of los
ing its representation in the state
circuit. -

Grade Schools
Start Softball
The Bend grade school Softball
season got under way this week,
on Harmon playfield diamonds,
with two. games played at the
same time. In the opening games,
Allen and the 8th grade Bearkit
tens posted wins over St. Francis
and Kenwood.
Kenwood-Bearkltten play re
vealed plenty of early-season rag
gedness on the part of both
teams, as the Bearkittens stag
gered through to outlast the Ken
wood Yellow Jackets 28 to 23.
The Allen St. Francis game was
a tight game and the Allen boys
were forced to the limit to get
their 7 to 4 win.
The new playflelds provided ex
cellent facilities for play, with all
action on the turf. The Harmon
diamonds were laid out by John
Prentice, the Kenwood coach, and
members of the Kenwood letter
men's club. The games were play
ed Tuesday evening.

'Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight"
Our ten o'clock curfew lasted for
50 years, but the town council voted
it out. I dropped in at the meeting
in Town Hall last week just in time
to hear Smiley Roberts.
"The curfew is old-fashioned,"
lays Smiley. "We ought to be
grown-up enough by now to behave
like grownups. Seeing to it that
our kids get to bed is the responsi
bility of each family." Then Judge
Cunningham adds, "Most of us
are in bed when the curfew horn
blows anyway. It wakes me up just
when I'm getting to sleep!"
What the Judge said was good
for a laugh, but Smiley just about
summed up how folks think in tins
town. We believe that the demo
cratic tradition of "live and let
live" is the ofi way to live.
From where I sit, it's not the
American way to regulate your life
by a horn anymore than it's right
to criticize my caring for a temper
ate glass of beer now and then.
Think what you wish, say what you
wish, but don't ask your neighbor
to do exactly as you do!
