Mustangs Open Baseball Season With
6 to 3 Win Over Fossil Falcons
By Larry Mollahan
Baseball hit Heppner with a
bang Tuesday afternoon with a
rainy 6 to 3 win over the Fossil
Falcons on the Heppner diamond.
All was well for Larry Dowen's
Mustangs in the top of the first
when Jim Hayes, Lyle Jensen,
Lance Tibbies and Ed Olson rol
led up a 4 to 0 lead.
With only two days practice
Heppner looked good out in the
field as well in the batters' box.
Lead by Jim Hayes from the
mound who struck out four Fal
cons and walked three, Jim
looked good despite the inex
perience handicap.
Smith, the Falcons star pitcher
sent eleven Mustangs to the
bench with three strikes.
Jerry Dougherty came in on a
Burke Gentry's double in the se
cond frame to make it five to zero.
It wasn't until Muzzy came in
on Smith's double in the third
that Fossil dashed Heppner's
hopes of a "love game".
Dick Kononen, Heppner second
baseman walked and topped off
the Heppner scoring in the third.
Ashmead's single and Joyal's
walk in the fourth supplied two
more runs for the boys from over
the ridge.
A squall in the fifth saw fans
and players alike escaping to
their cars until the downpour
stopped in about 10 minutes.
Ed Olson held down the center
field with an airtight glove that
netted a total of seven flies.
Heppner's starting nine in
eludes: Jerry Dougherty, catcher,
Jim Hayes pitch, Lance Tibbies
first, Dick Kononen second, to
end the game a beautiful double
play by Kononen and Tibbies
finished things up. Skip Ruhl
plays shortstop, Lyle Jensen
third, Burke Gentry left field,
Ed Olson center and Wayne Lamb
right field. In the dugout are
Pete Sloeum, Dcane Connor, Jim
Morris, Len Swartz, Mac Griffith
and Mike Monahan.
The tentative schedule for this
spring's games is as follows: this
isn't final but is fairly accurate.

Dedication of New
Umatilla Bridge
Set For April 15
Plans for the dedication of the
new Umatilla bridge, which
spans the mighty Columbia
river at Umatilla, Oregon, have
been going ahead full blast and
committees are now at work
rounding out the complete ribbon-cutting
program. The cere
monies will take place on April
15th.
The new bridge is being dedi
cated to William Switzler, former
civic leader and pioneer of Uma
tilla county.
A full day program is being
planned, including a luncheon
for visiting dignitaries. The
governors of Washington and
Oregon have indicated they'll be
on hand to attend the dedication.!
Physically the bridge is mas-
sive, stretching over one-half j
mile in length some 3380 feet.;
About 1320 feet in the center of
the bridge has a concrete deck.
There are 3500 tons of structual
steel in the span.
Consulting engineers for the
bridge were provided by Tudor
Engineering Co. of San Frai
cisco. The new structure has two
600-foot center spans and girder
type approach spans. The en
tire job of construction will take
a little over eight months by
the completion date.
Construction money for the
bridge has come from the sale of
bonds which will be paid off from
toll revenuas in about 27 years.
After the bonds have been retired
the structure will be turned over
to the highway departments of
Washington and Oregon. Uma
tilla county is serving as cus
todian of the bridge.
o
Spring Cleanup
Urged For Farms
A good spring cleanup makes
farms safer, reminds M. G. Huber,
Oregon State college agricultural
engineering specialist.
As the 1955 national cleanup
campaign gets underway, Huber
advises farm families to give the
farm shop a good housecleaning,
get rid of the year's trash ac
cumulation and clean up old
lumber piles.
Inspect broken and warn steps
for repairs and spread a little
paint to brighten up the place.
Give the farm a new look, saysj
the specialist, and make it a
safer and easier place to live and
work.
