We've seen it happen in the "bushes" and heard of it occur ring in college ball, but until that 17-inning Brooklyn-Cincin- natl scorcher Monday we thought such things didn't go on in the major leagues ... at the close of the 16th lrame the score was 0-0, and when Brooklyn's Pete Reiser whaled a homer as darkness began to settle in the first half of the 17th the Dodgers did everything in their power to hurry the inning along while the Reds attempted to delay play by every possible means so that the umps would call the game and the score would revert to the 16th, tied at 0-0 .. .

By Judien Bailey (Associated Press Writer) Destiny's Dodgers can do no wrong these days and even when they lose fate figures out some way to compensate them. Brooklyn ran Into a 4-3 11 lnnlng pitfall yesterday at Cin cinnati, and the game scarcely had ended before darkness de scended on St. Louis and black ed out the Cardinals and New York Giants in a 1-1 10-lnning tie. This shaved the Dodgers' Na tional league lead from two games to a game and a half, but on a long-range basis the Cardinals' tie was almost as damaging as a defeat. It figures out this way. Brooklyn has won 92 games, lost SI and has 11 to play. St. Louis has won 89, lost SI and has 13 to play. Thus the Dodners will play 1S4 games this season to 1S3 for St. Louis and if both teams lose the same number of games Brooklyn still will take the championship. Werber Stars The affair at Cincinnati was almost equally tight. Elmer (The Great) Riddle allowed only six hits and didn't give an earned run In the nine innings he work ed. Bill Werber singled home a run for him in the first and knocked in two more with a double In the seventh. But each time errors helped Brooklyn bounce back to tie the score once In the second inning and again in the ninth. In the day's only other Na tional league game the Boston Braves beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-3 Chet Laabs drove In five runs to lead the St. Louis Browns to a 9-8 victory over the Phil adelphia Athletics. The Detroit Tigers bunched their efforts to whip the Wash ington Senators, 4 2. the toughest sort of a battle . . . There Is some talk that an Ice skating rink may be built in Klamath Falls, similar to the one now under construction here by the Med ford Ice Arena, and if such is done don't be sur prised to see some lntra-ice hockey take its place In the southern Oregon sports picture . . . anyway, there will be a local hockey league as soon as Sparky Bourque, manager and profes slonal Instructor of the arena, figures enough capable skaters are available to form a four-club circuit . . .

STAY TWO AHEAD By the Associated Press Pitching steadiness in the clutch makes championship baseball clubs, and Seattle quali fies with hurlers Ilk Dick "Kewpie" Barrett. Moving Into the final series of the Coast league season, Seattle was fighting to maintain a slim two-game lead last night when it tangled with Los Angeles and Barrett came through with a four-hit pitching masterpiece to win 2 to 1. Sacramento stayed In the pen nant chase by defeating Oak land 4 to 2, but Seattle's two- game margin over the Solons looked impressive. Hollywood trimmed San Diego in both games of double-header, clinching its first-division berth and virtually eliminating the third-place Padres from championship contention. The Stars won the opener 8 to 2, and were forced to eight Innings in the nightcap for a 6 to 4 victory. Ray Harrell, San Francisco pitcher recently purchased from Portland, won an 11 to 6 victory over his former teammates. He yielded 15 hits to the Beavers, but San Francisco clouted in eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings to clinch the victory.
