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 MATINEES A EVENINGS end the battle.

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.

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. And were we proud of llenry DeClerek’s t»u.M-ball geometry!

Only regret was that an error on second base later gave the Red Sox the game, 10-6, but not until after several of the Hilt players had distinguished themselves Ray Coltman, softball catcher anti left fielder in the Sunday games, dem­ onstrated his arm by pegging the ball from deep left up /he hill to home plate, grooving the target.
