MEDFORDfejrRIBUNE sipcLDimrs Crater Nine Romps in 6th To Nip Klamath Falls 3-2 Central Point Crater high, i option. oil iter nine intn the Harvpv Tnnn lair! rlriwn a h packing all its runs into the sixth inning, spilled the Klamath Falls Pelicans 3 to 2 here yes terday in a non-league baseball scuffle. Klamath hurler Dave D'01 , who gave up three hits for tne afternoon, threw effectively for five innings and had tight sup port from his mates. But in the sixth canto the roof collapsed on the Pels. The Comets combined a hit, a walk, two errors and two fielder's options to get their tallies. The Pelicans gained their markers in the fourth and fifth frames after Crater Tosser Kay Kelley had faced just nine bats men in the first three. In the Fourth Ron Conner led off with a single and Jerry Burke and Don Taucher laid down suc cessive sacrifice bunts to put him on third base. Craig McCarty's single drove in the run. Bill Hamblin began the fifth with a safety. He scampered all the way to third base on Dave Leeling's sacrifice blow and then swiped home. For Klamath the sixth and seventh stanzas went like the first three. Kelley faced only six Pels in the last two frames. Before the Comets came to bat in the sixth inning only three Crater men had reached base, one on a hit, one on a walk and one on a fielder's choice. Two Misplays Pitcher Kay Kelley became the fourth man to get aboard when he drew a walk. He was safe at second when Shortstop Butch Kimpton dropped the throw on an attempted force on Donn Johnson's rap. Johnson perched on first on the fielder's Harvey Tonn laid down a bunt which was fielded by Mounds- man D'Olivo. He threw to third for force try but Shortstop Kimp ton had not arrived at the sack in time to nail the ball. Both Kelley and Johnson scored and D'Olivo was charged with the error. Tonn got to second. Vern Parent followed with a single between first and second bases. First Baseman Hamblin could only deflect the ball and Tonn crossed home. A hit by Lyman Stubbs proved futile because Parent had been squeezed out trying to reach sec ond base. D'Olivo Tagged Out In the Pels' seventh inning try to overtake the Comets D'Olivo, first man up, drew a base on balls. When the count on Hamb lin reached three balls and two strikes, D'Olivo thought a fourth ball had been called and ambled toward second base. He was hot boxed and tagged out by First Baseman Tonn. r Kelley then struck out Hamb lin and when the Crater pitcher tossed the ball to first base oa Dave Leeling's roller the game was over. Klamath yelled interference on D'Olivo's out but Umpires Darrell Copeland and Leonard Warren did not see it that way. Kelley gave up five hits to the Pels. He struck out nine batters and walked only one. D'Olivo walked two and whiffed five. Only two Pelicans and three Comets were left stranded on base. Conner's two-bagger, open ing the game was the only extra base hit. Crater will play Ashland here on Saturday while Klamath Falls Searchers Fight Snow In Hunt for Airman Goldendale, Wash. (U.R) Searchers battled deep snow to day in their hunt for Hank Baker, 20, The Dalles, lost since Saturday after a light plane crash on Simcoe peak north of here. Hope that Baker would be found alive faded with each hour. Jack LaRoque, pilot of the plane who was rescued, said Baker had been injured in the accident. LaRocque was reported in "fair condition" in a hospital at The Dalles. He was pinned for 33 hours in the wreckage and Baker got lost while seeking help. LaRocque was rescued by. a helicopter. STANFORD BEATS SALEM Stanford, Calif. (U.R) Four Stanford hurlers tossed a . four hitter yesterday as the Indians pinned a 4-1 defeat on Salem, Ore., of the Class B Northwest ern League. Stanford took a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning and right fielder Tom Dandurand iced things in the next frame with a two-run single. SPOKANE DOWNS BRONCS Lewiston, Ida.

Wednesday, April 13, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN A Nkhol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Ferar Writer Washington (U.R) Napo leon Bonaparte was no different from mere man of any era. He spent a good bit of his time in the dog house. History does not make it clear just why the little cor poral and his bride, Jose phine, quarrel ed, but aDDar- Harman JMichois antlv thev did. Perhaps it was because he ate .trench pease with his knife. Anyhow, he was forever show ering the lovely Josephine with jpts, wnich is indicative enough. - One gift was a priceless watch, which is on exhibit now at the Department of Commerce buil ding by American watch and clock makers. It's a little big as watches go today. About the size of a mash-ed-down pear, it is heart-shaped with a case set with 1741 pearls and 158 turquoises. The official value is $10,000, but one will get you a C-note you couldn't buy it off its present owners, U. S. Time (collectors), for money or love. The time-piece is a key-winder, but no key has touched it for who knows how long." Maybe it would still work. Josephine like as not carried it in her purse when it wasn't in her locked jewel box. The weight of the thing surely would have put the pretty lady to list ing to one side. Five years were said to have been spent in gathering "match ed" pearls for the case. Actually they do not match, but at this late date who cares? Officially, the watch is known as the "Court Vanity Watch." According to the Time people it was made by a group of French watch makers and artists and jewelers on direct order of the small corporal. This was shortly after he revealed his ambitions, cast aside his pre tense of a" "regency" and had himself proclaimed Emperor of France. Took the Waich Napoleon, as you know, di vorced Josephine. Naturally she took along the watch when she walked out. Josephine died be fore he did, but when the cor poral himself passed along the the watch was found in his pos session, so his late former wife must have left it to him. The watch went through the usual channels of time. It set tled at one time in what was the Solons Retain Lead; Beavers Club Seals By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer Nippy Jones' home run kept Sacramento out in front In the Pacific Coast league today but the teams that drew the pre season rave notices were jock eying into position to overhaul the unsung Solons. Oakland's towering righthan der Karl Drews was nursing a 2-1 lead going into the -bottom of the eighth last night when Jones homered with Jackie Tobin aboard to give the Sacs a 3-2 win. Sacramento needed that win to preserve its half game lead over second place San Diego. Last year's champions won their fourth straight! shading Los Angeles 2-1 by capitalizing on Angel pitcher Joe Hatten's field ing error and hit batsman. Stars Win Highly regarded Hollywood and Portland also won. The Stars, last year's runners-up, fi nally escaped, the cellar by de feating Seattle, 5-4, and Lefty Bill Werle pitched the Beavers to a 4-2 win over San Francisco in his first PCL start since the Seals sold him to Pittsburgh -in 1948 Portland broke loose in the sixth inning with a four-run ral ly featuring Ed Mickelson's triple and homers by Don Eggert and Don Lundberg to disappoint 7,007 fans watching the Seals in their first game at home. Werle throttled the Seals on four hits, one a homer by T e d Beard. He struck out four and walked only one as he returned to PCL action after seven years in he majors.

Steel Production May Push Near Capacity New York (U.R) Iron Age said today the "mushrooming" steel boom may push domestic production as high as 98 per cent of rated capacity this year, but predicted a steel shortage in Europe. While American steel mills race against growing demand, the national metalworking weekly noted, "Foreign steel consumers are up against it." . "Foreign countries are short counterpart of a modern official museum. At length, the watch came into the hands of a man named Carl Marf els, considered the greatest collector of antique and famous watches who ever lived. At the age of 80 he began looking for buyers for his col lection. A man by the name of Willard H. Wheeler, a ' rich Brooklynite and head of the Brooklyn museum, bought the timepiece. It was supposed to forever remain a part of a recognized collection not the private piece of an individual. U. S. Time heard about the collection, valued at upwards of $750,000 and bought it. on productive capacity and long on demand," Iron Age stated. "They need semi-finisheri steel from the U.S. to feed their finishing mills. "But U.S. producers, up to ears in domestic business, are not so interested today as sev eral months ago. "As a result, export business from England, West Germany, Holland, France and other coun tries is going begging. Within the last month to six weeks, a half-million tons of foreign orders have been making the rounds here."
