Talent High
Baseballers '
Fool Experts
Talent The Talent high
school baseball team didn't win
the district championship but it
fooled the experts as far as Jack
son county was concerned. "
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. George Rickefoose and
Don Coghill. were utility field
ers and Coghill did some pitch
ing. All hut Hartley, Zumwalt and
Ellis will return next year.
The season record included
victories over Eagle Point, Ash
land, Rogue River, St, Mary's,
Phoenix, Prospect and Jackson
ville and a loss to Malin, dis
trict t it 1 1st. Talent beat Jackson
ville 31 to 1.

SF Loses in
19 Innings
To Seattle
San Francisco (U.R) Singles
by Roeco Krsnich and Artie Wil
son in the 19th inning broke up
the longest Pacific Coast league
game of the season Saturday,
when Seattle pounced on Seal
relief pitcher Bob Muncrief for
four runs and a 5-1 victory over
San Francisco.
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.
