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

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 along the watch when she
walked out. Josephine died be
fore he did, but when the cor
poral himself passed along the

session, so his late former wife
must have left it to him.
The watch went through the
usual channels of time. It set

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."
