After losing the first two
games in the second half of
Little League baseball play, the
Braves have come along to win
four in a row and sit on top
this week. Each team has three
games left to play in the season.
The Giants and Dodgers are tied
for second with three wins and
three losses while the Indians
are in fourth spot with two wins
and four losses. The season will
wind up next Thursday and then
all thoughts will be on the All
Star tournament in The Dalles
Friday and Saturday, July 19-20.
Game action resumed Monday
after a week's vacation. The
Braves held a 7-1 lead over the
Dodgers going into the sixth
inning and won, 7-5. The Braves
opened up the scoring in the
bottom of the first with two runs
on one hit, an error, and a
walk. They picked up another
tally in the second and two more
in the third on a two-run homer
by Larry Pettyjohn. A two-run
homer by Bill McLeod in the
bottom of the fourth concluded
the scoring efforts of the Braves,
who held the Dodgers to one run
in the fifth.
In the top of the sixth, Bill
Baker of the Dodgers got the
ball rolling as he cracked a
solo homer over the fence which
was followed by four walks
and a single to score three more
runs before the inning was over.
Kent Pratt, Larry Pettyjohn,
and Bill McLeod handled the
pitching duties for the Braves
allowing five runs on three hits,
eight walks, and eight strike
outs. The Dodgers used John Mc
Cabe, Kit Anderson, and Jon
O'Donnell who gave up seven
runs on seven hits, six walks,
and 10 strikeouts.
In a wild scoring game Tues
day night the Giants out-slugged
the Indians, 15-14. The Giants
jumped to a 10-4 lead going into
the top of the fifth when the
Indians broke loose for seven
runs on five hits and three walks
to take the lead, 12-10. The In
dians held the Giants in the
bottom half of the fifth and pick
ed up two more runs in the top
of the sixth to strengthen their
lead 14-10.
Not to be outdone, the Giants
came fighting back in the bot
tom of the sixth, despite the rain,
to push across five runs on five
hits and two walks to take the
ball game, 15-14. Terry Prock
went the distance for the Giants,
allowing 14 runs on 11 hits, six
walks, and nine strikeouts. The
Indians used Earl Pettyjohn,
Pat Kilkenny, and Terry Cannon
who gave up 15 runs on 13 hits,
11 walks, and two strikeouts.
Rocky Stephens knocked a grand
slam home run for the Giants
and Keith Nelson of the Indians
knocked a two run homer.

Outlook Given
On Oregon Grain;
Picture Unsure
Market prices for Oregon's
1963 grain crops are expected
to reflect large stocks and lower
government loan rates, reports
Ray Teal, Oregon State Univer
sity extension seed marketing
specialise.
Government loan rates for all
1963 grain crops, except oats, are
lower than in 1962. Whether
prices on Northwest wheat crop
will reflect the full 18 cent de
cline in loan rates depends on
several things, however, Teal
said.
Exports from the Pacific
Northwest increased 8 percent
from July 1, 1962, through March,
1963. However, this is more than
offset by an increase of 73 per
cent during the same period of
in-shipments from other wheat
producing areas. Mainly of Hard
Red winter wheat, these in-shipments
were in turn exported
along with Northwest white
wheat.- Japan took almost equal
amounts of two classes of wheat
during July through March.
An increase of white wheat
in stocks on hand April 1 also
points to a decline in wheat
prices of at least the 18 cent
lower support rate, Teal notes.
Another price-depressing inflU'
ence is the prospect for a larger
crop in the Northwest this year
than in 1962.
The recent wheat referendum
vote will hold 1963 prices down,
Teal adds, especially in the lat
ter part of the season. Other
unknown factors which will be
at work include action taken
by the government on Commod
ity Credit Corporation sales, In
ternational Wheat Agreement
and Public Law 480 authoriza
tions. All of these could affect
export movement, he said.
At present, Japanese importers
are objecting to the present
make-up of Western White
wheat blend which has been an
increase in protein content and
gluten strength. This has pre-
seted problems in using the
flour for biscuit and pastry pur
poses.
Teal explained that the per
centage of White Club wheat in
the blend has been decreasing
because rust-resistant varieties
are now being grown in place
of White Club varieties.
It has been suggested that this
year White Club be kept sep
arate so that white wheat can
be properly blended for export.
Failure to maintain desirable
quality can lose important over
seas markets for Northwest
wheat, Teal warns.
A lower loan rate and a de
cline in overseas markets may
indicate lower prices lor the 1903
barley crop, Teal continued
These factors were reflected at
Portland in mid-June when bar
ley was $7 a ton lower than at
the same time last year.
How much lower than last
year prices may go will depend
on export markets, government
policy as to CCC sales and the
size of the 1963 crop. California
expects a smaller crop this year
and the late season in the Wil
lamette Valley may lower yields.
This could strengthen prices, he
added.
Some strength may be given
the 1963 barley and oats market
because corn prices have moved
higher as a result of reduced
production coupled with strong
domestic and exDort demand, the
specialist said. Higher corn
prices could encourage more
barley and oats feeding in the
Northwest.
The larger barlye and oats
stocks on hand this spring in the
Northwest are a partial off-set
to the possible smaller crop and
increased feeding, Teal added.
Oat prices are expected to be at
or near loan levels unless the
1963 crop is considerably smaller
because of unfavorable spring
weather.
