and Leever once. Kenny Harris,
Dodgers' starting pitcher, threw
no-hit ball until the fifth frame
when Howerton hit a triple but
died on base In the sixth, how-
ever. Harris tired and three walks,
a fielders' choice and a single ac-
counted for a run.
The seventh inning was too
much for Harris, however, when
the crowd yelled him out of the
box and Ashland out of the ball
game. Harris, after allowing a
hit to the first man up, walked
the next two and was benched by
Manager Hess, who called in left
handed Charlie Warren for relief
mound work. Warren was vulner
able to the crowd also and pitched
nine straight balls to force two
runs across the plate. Then Leon
ard sent a long fly to right field
where Barksdale and Coleman al
most collided on the catch, Barks
dale dropping the easy out. Cole
man's wild throw to third tied up
the ball game at 5-5 and Whipple
then singled to score Clark and

SUN «MON «TUE
The biggest upset of the current
softball season occurred at the
high school field Friday night
when the Dodgers, first-half cham
pions. and the Elks, second-half
winners, went four innings before
the game was called and the Dodg
ers had won the city champion
ship by a 25 to 2 score.
The Dodgers went to bat first
and sent three runs across the
platter. Bill Tallis. Elks pitcher,
slid into third base in their half
of the first and x-ray pictures
taken later showed he had dislo
cated a kneecap and pulled a liga
ment. Tallis continued in the box.
however, until the third when he
collapsed while making a delivery
and was replaced by Favero, regu
lar first sacker. The gritty chucker
handled first base until the fourth
when he was replaced by Harry
Morris, manager.
Harris did an excellent job in
the box for the winners, allowing
but four hits and two runs, all of
which came in the third frame.
Parker Hess hit the longest
drive of the game, a home run
over the center field fence.

But speaking of bascltull, the
Klamath Fulls Red Sox pulled the
bushiest prank yet seen in these
parts Playing at Hilt last Sunday,
the Northern California league
leaders were lagging ft to 1 and
were plenty worried. Hilt, with
but one victory ull season, was
seriously threatening the visiting
potato diggers and Something Had
To Be Done. So a Klamath dough
brain whipped out a tape-line,
called time and proceeded to meas
ure every base on the Hilt dia
mond.
Jeers and cat-calls hurled at
the stalling Red Sox were pointed
and well deserved. The dopes were
trying to big-league Hilt out of
the game but were somewhat red
faced while ribboning the laat of
the bags.
