" The Bulldogs, with Willis Zumwnll and Rollie Hartley the only vets, were figured to have only a so-so season. However, under the handling of Coach Gene Farthing, the lads came through and took the county mantle without a defeat. Farth ing has been given much credit because of his constant drilling in the finer points of the sport. Zumwalt and Hartley were the big guns. Zumwalt posted a five win one-loss record against con ference and other opposition Hartley racked up a seasonal bat ting average of .347 and confer ence record of .477. Freshman Catcher Jim McAbee, a freshman, from whom much is expected in the future, held down the catching berth. Carl Perdue was the first baseman and Earl Tycksen was at second. Hartley was at short stop and Les Walker, a soph omore was at third base. Outfielders were Gary Straus and Zumwalt, when they weren't pitching, Bob Seymour, Rich El lis, George Phelan and Harold Ricks.

The more than-double distance contest, played in the fast time of 4 hours and 11 minutes, fea tured phenomenal pitching ar tistry by Seal starter Bill Bevens and Seattle's Paul Calvert, who worked 17 innings. Longest in Seal History The game was the longest in the 21-year history of Seals sta dium. Bevens, the heartbreak right hander who lost a World series no-hit game in 1947 after he had two, men out in the ninth in ning, toured 12 frames and gave up only six hits. The Suds tap ped him for a long run in the first inning. Calvert, who won fame when he pitched a no-hit, no-run game for Seattle last season, also re tired from the game because of fatigue. The thin man of distinc tion surrendered eight hits and one unearned run in the 17 in nings he labored. ( Davis Victor Young southpaw Jim Davis, who took over for Calvert at the start of the 18th, got credit for the victory. The loss was pinned on Muncrief, the Seal's baron of the bullpen, who en tered the fray in the 13th. The loss was Muncrief's first of the year. The win was Davis' first. Davis, oddly, had been ticketed to go to Memphis early in the week but the deal fell through and he remained with the club. Valley Loop Tiffs Today ROGUE VAI.l.r.Y LEAGUE STANDINGS W.
