Mustangs
Sfanfield
By James Monahan
Mac Griffith, Mustang hurler,
pitched shutout ball for 8 out of
11 innings of play this weeks
UMC diamond play to aid the
Heppner squad in their victories
over lone and Stanfield of6-5 and
4-2 respectively.
In Ileppner's latest victory (the
4-2 win over the Stanfield Tigers)
Griffith not only shone on the
mound but led both teams In
hitting as he whipped out two
singles and a double for four
times at the plate.
Heppner hacked at least one
hit per Inning but did not take
advantage of the scoring column
until the third when Griffith
reached first on an infield error.
Gentry slammed a single Into
left field to score Griffith for the
blue and gold's Initial run.
Half of Heppner s four runs
came in an action filled fourth
frame. Ron McCabe started the
ball rolling when he fired a
looping single into center field
and then stole second. Jim Mor
ris took a free trip to first with
a base on balls and then on a
double steal, both McCabe and
Morris advanced a base. Skip
Ruhl then drove a base hit be
tween second and third to score
both Morris and McCabe.
Stanfield came back with one
run in the third as they eked
out one single and took advant
age of a Mustang error.
In the fifth and sixth frames
Heppner collected two singles,
but could not bunch them tol
gether for a run. Stanfield
stayed scoreless and hitiess
throughout both frames.
Ileppner's last run came in the
final seventh when the Mus
tangs put three first base hits
to drive Griffith home with the
Mustangs last run of the game.
However, the Tigers came back
fighting and squeezed a run
across in attempt to catch the
galloping Mustangs.
Ione's Cardinals, behind the
four hit pitching of Ernie Drake,
gave the Mustangs a good fight
in an afternoon contest which
saw the horses put down a last
MORE Mustangs
inning rally for a C-5 victory.
Both teams played scoreless
ball the first and second Innings
with Heppner getting one lone
hit during the period.
Finally in the third inning the
Mustang batsmen squared off on
the rodbird "pitch" to send two
smashing singles into the Cardi
nal's outfield and collected four
runs.
Bill Brinda, outfield transfer
from Ukiah, blopped out a field
ers' choice that was hobbled.
Ruhl followed with a sizzling In
field hedgehopper that was
muffed at second and as a re
sult left both blue and gold run
ners safe. Griffith then laced a
single over the first sackers to
score Brinda and Ruhl in from
second and third. Burke Gentry
came in safe to first after the
Cardinal shortstop had hobbled
his hit.
Mustang ca teller, Jerry Dough
erty, hit a hard single to left
field to bring both Gentry and
Griffith across the plate to give
the horses a third inning lead
of 4 0.
lone drove across one run in
the fourth, but Heppner retalia
ted in the fifth with Gentry and
Turner scoring on a single, error,
and wild pitch.
The Card's big rally came in
me seventh as they came through
vvltn three runs 0n only two hits.

Local Tennis Squad
Loses to Umatilla
Coach James Popham's netmen
went down to defeat to much
more experienced Viking squad
from Umatilla last Monday by
scores of 2-0,2-0,2-0, and 2-1.
The only real resistance the
Viking tennis team met was that
of singles player, Louie Sayers,
who gave the Umatiila netsman
an "even-steven" fight in the
first set.
The doubles team, Lance Tib
bies and Sayors handed the or
ange and black team a good bat
tle in the initial round of action
but couldn't keep up the fast
pace set by the Vikings in the
last rounds.
Dave Cox, one of this years
team's only experienced tennis
team member was absent from
the squad due to illness and re
ports from coach Popliam were
that it handicapped the squad
greatly. The Heppner squad
meets a reportedly good Ilermis
ton team May 11, in an afternoon
session on the Mustangs own
courts.

Local Bank Deposits
Down, Loans High
Quarterly statement of condi
tion figures released by the
Heppner branch of First National
Bank of Portland show that on
March 31, deposits at the branch
were $5,640,506 and loans were
$2,801,238, according to branch
manager J. II. Bedford.
Released at the same time were
comparable totals for the branch
for March 31, 1955. On that date
deposits were $6,795,768 and the
loans totaled $2,643,750.
Further figures show that on
March 31, 1956 deposits at the
First National Bank and its 71
statewide banking offices were
$773,813,986, loans were $408,
916.875 and recourees were $857,
757,217. In releasing the figures, First
National president C. B. Stephen
son reported that all three totals
represented increases over a year
ago Over March 31, 1955, de
posits at First National increased
$20,680,153, loans are up $36,695,
153, and recourees increased $25,.
437,881.
Stephenson said increases over
the past year reflect the con
tinuing high level of business,
whereas the decline from Decem
ber deposits totals reflects the
usual seasonal trend.
Randall Peterson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. O. Peterson of Hepp

of the past year in Germany and
