Beavers Defeat
Washington 9-0;
WSC Trips Idaho
By UNITED PRESS
Three Northern division base
ball teams sported spotless rec
ords today but lowly Idaho was
still looking for its first victory
of the year.
Washington State handed
Idaho its seventh straight loss,
12-6, at Moscow, Ida., yesterday,
and Oregon State college pinned
the fifth straight defeat on the
University of Washington Hus
kies, 9-0, at Corvallis.
Lefty Al Guidotti tossed four-
hit ball as OSC had an easy time
with the Huskies. He whiffed
even, pitched to but 31 batters,
while all of his mates hit safely
with the exception of outfielder
Jerry Exley. OSC wrapped it up
with six runs in the third.
WSC tallied five runs in the
third and added six more in the
seventh with the help of some
leaky Idaho fielding. .
WSC and Oregon each have
3-0 slates with OSC right behind
at 2-0. Washington is now 4-5
after four victories at the start
of the season and Idaho has
dropped seven without a vic
tory.
BRUINS WORK OUT

Central Point Crater High
clinched its third Rogue league
championship of the current
school year yesterday by nick
ing Illinois Valley's baseball ag
gregation 2 to 1 here.
The decision, Crater's fifth
straight against no setbacks in
the circuit, also gave the Com
ets the District 6 A-2 southern
division title in the state pen
nant race.
Crater capitalized on some
fine relief pitching by Fred
Herrman and wildness on the
part of IV Hurler Jim Eggers
in the seventh and final inning.
Eggers walked in the winning
tally.
Lyman Stubb's single and a
two base error in center field
on the hit set up the Comets
first run in the second inning.
Stubbs got all the way to .third
base in the action. He scored
on a ground out by Ken Bailey.
In the seventh inning Eggers
was hit by a pitch by Crater's
Fred Hogue. An error followed
on Howard Pickle's ground ball.
Then Mellow doubled allowing
Eggers to reach the plate. With
men on second and third bases
and no one out Crater Coach
Clarence Mellbye called Herr
man to the hill. The reliefer
struck out three consecutive
batters to retire the side without
further damage.
Harold Lefler walked as the
Comets batted in the seventh.
Hogue, still in the game, bunt
ed and was safe on a wild throw
to first base. Harvey Tonn walk
ed and Mel Harsh got another
base on balls to push over the
victory counter.
Hogue fanned two, walked
three and hit one batter. He gave
up just hree hits. Herrman had
the three strikeouts to show.
Eggers allowed only four hits
and whiffed eight batters but
walked seven.
The Comets were to have a
non-league fracas at Klamath
Falls today. They are tentative
ly slated to play a Rogue league
make-up mix at Phoenix on Fri
day. With only the Phoenix mix to
play in the league and subdis
trict, the Comets can't be
caught in the race. Eagle Point,
new in second spot, has lost
twice. Crater also has won the
Rogue football and basketball
mantles this school year.
In the northern baseball sub
district Sutherlin leads the Um
qua Valley league with 2 wins
and no defeats.

initely was on the upgrade today
and the St. Louis welterweight
was calling for a title shot in the
wake of Lis upset of heavily
favored Ronnie Delaney.
Akins, who had lost 1 of his
previous 39 professional fights
and who entered the ring a 4-1
underdog Monday night,
knocked out Delaney at 2:41 of
the eighth round in their widely
televised bout at at Nicholas
Arena. Akins weighed 146 V2 and
Delany 1493i.
Wants Top Bout
Akins' manager, Eddie Ya
witz, immediately announced he
wanted Virgil to be rewarded
with a match with champion
Tony De Marco, Carmen Basilio
"or some other top contender."
Delaney, who had suffered only
one previous loss In 53 pro
fights, battled on even terms
with Akins through the first
seven rounds. But the end came
quickly in the eighth when
Akins landed a left to the chin
and followed with a right that
sent Delaney to the canvas on
his back.
, Delaney of Akron, Ohio was
counted out in that position by
Referee Barney Felix.
Second Upset
Felix and Judge Bert Grant
had Akins ahead, 4-3, in rounds

it 3-1. Among rihgsiders there

Bragan Makes Farce of Hustle Program;
Uses Eight Pinch Hitters for One Man
BY SCOTT BAILIE
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco (U.R) Bobby
Bragan threatened to turn the
Pacific Coast league's "hustle
program" into a funeral march
today and President Claire
Goodwin anxiously awaited an
umpire's report on the Holly
wood manager's latest shennani
gans. Bad Boy Bobby added some
thing new to baseball on Sun
day by sending up eight pinch
hitters to the plate for one pitch
apiece while they batted en
masse for southpaw hurler Lino
Donoso. This soap opera was
pulled off in the ninth inning of
the first game of a double head
er between the last place Stars
and Los Angeles. Hollywood lost
both games.
Bragan explained afterward
that he produced this marathon
to express his displeasure at the
Sacramento Hurler

League but actual leadership be

of Sacramento who topped the
loop in four wins while losing
two.
Among those pitching ,1.000
were John Briggs of the So'ir"-.
and Bob Kelly arrd John Oldham
of Seattle, who nau una

Bob Coats, husky outfield"
with the Las Angeles Angels,
swatted a gaudy .421 to lead the
batters after tne lirst .noa.u
play.
And belting the ball right be
hind him was teammate Steve
Bilko, who set the pace in home
runs with eight.
umpires. He had officially pro
tested the game over a call in
the fourth inning.
"I must say his action was a
unique thing," the puzzled Good
win declared today. "But I can't
make any comment until Um
pire Don Flecky's report reach
es me."
And what about the hustle
program bogging down during
the ninth frame?
"Humm." Goodwin mused. "I
guess that depends on how fast
those eight batters came and
went from the plate."
The fledgling president, who
had predicted . that his loop
would draw 3,000,000 or better
this season, also was somewhat
perplexed by the weather. 1
Unofficial figures show that
88,628 came out to the PCL
parks last week, quite a few
below the weekly standard of
111,000 the loop would have to
maintain for that 3,000,000 figure.
Three games were washed
out, two of them in Portland.
More Interest
"It's too early to say whether
I'll have to revise my prediction
or not," Goodwin said. "But I
still think there is a lot more
interest in the league thanhere
was last year and I'm sure at
tendance will improve when we
get a break on the weather."
League leading Seattle, which
has played .786 ball in its last
14 contests, takes a four game
winning streak into sagging Sa
cramento. The Los Angeles Ang
els, one game off the pace and
bolstered by heavy hitting Steve
Bilko, invade Oakland while

club are trapped in a five-game
losing streak while San Diego
