Pels, KF Play Here; D'Olivo Throws
Mo-Hitter; Crater Scuffles
Saturday
Klamath Falls and Grants Pass
high schools were battling it out
at Medford this afternoon for
the District 6 A-l baseball man
tle. The Pelicans and Cavemen di
vided a doubleheader at Klam
ath Falls yesterday in an after
noon highlighted by workhorse
Pitcher Dave D'Olivo's no - hit
no - run performance. D'Olivo
hurled the Pels to a 3 to 0 ver
dict in the opener. Grants Pass
won the second scuffle 15 to 5.
Yesterday's games, last of the
regular district and Southern
Oregon Conference slate, left
the two nines knotted with eight
wins and four setbacks each,
Today's encounter here was to
decide which team will oppose
Crater in Class A inter - district
struggles beginning Saturday at
Central Point. Crater won the
District 6 A-2 banner. A double-
header with Crater loomed likely
tomorrow for today's winner. If
a third game is needed in the
two-out-of-three inter - district
runoff, it will be Monday, also
at Central Point.
D'Olivo Blazes
D'Olivo, who handcuffed Med
ford only last Tuesday, was in
great form yesterday as he blazed
the ball by Grants Pass batters
He issued three walks struck
out five batters. George Herr al
so turned in a good pitching per
formance for the Cavemen. He
cave up seven hits but whiffed
five and walked only two.
Klamath hurlers in the second
same, however, could match
neither D'Olivo nor Herr. In the
meantime Bill Mendenhall toss
ed a six - hit game for the Cave
men. Coach John McGinnis of Klam
ath informed Crater last night
that he would be willing to play
a doubleheader at Central Point
tomorrow should his club beat
Grants Pass today. Coach Mel
Ingram informed the Grants
Pass Courier that he "assumed"
today's victor would play a Sat
urday doublebill with Crater,
Final arrangements for the
series with Crater will be made
following the Klamath - Grants
Pass mix today. The inter-district
plan this year calls for all games
of the play-off to be on the A-2
field. The report yesterday that
the third game, if needed, would
be on the A-l diamond was er
roneous. The A-l entry in the play-off
faces the prospect of five games
in three days. Tiredness of the
A-l champ, particularly the
weariness of pitchers, should be
a boost to Crater ambitions.

home the trophy.
There will be no preliminary
nractice. and all the riders will
draw for positions with the meet
setting under way promptly at
1:30 p.m. The rules of the Airier

New York Giants Post
3-2 Win Over Braves
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
They say the mark of a cham
pion is the ability to win the
close ones and that's exactly
what Jim Hearn and the New
York Giants are doing.
They did it again Thursday
with a 3-2 victory over the Mil
waukiee Braves that gave the
Giants a brilliant 7-1 record in
games decided by one run. That
mark is by far the best in the
National League and is chal
lenged in the majors only by the
Cleveland Indians' 5-1 record.
It was the second one-run ver
dict of the season for Hearn, the
team's No. 1 disappointment last
year but the first N.L. pitcher to
record his sixth victory this
year. Hearn yielded 10 hits but
walked only one batter and
struck out six. He's beaten every
team in the league except the
Chicago Cubs.
Cardinals Second
The St. Louis Cardinals are
second to the Giants in the N.L.
as far as one-run decisions are
concerned with a 7-4 record. The
first place Brooklyn Dodgers
rank third with a 6-4 mark fol
lowed by the Cubs' 5-6, the Cin
cinnati Redlegs' 4-5, the Braves'
5-7, the Pittsburgh Pirates' 3-5
and the Philadelphia Phillies'
3-8. .
In the American League, the
Kansas City Athletics rank sec
ond to the Indians with a 6-2
record in one-run decisions and
the Boston Red Sox are next
with 6-4. The Chicago White
Sox are 4-4, the New York Yan
kees 2-3, the Baltimore Orioles
4-6. the Detroit Tigers 3-6 and
the Washington Senators 4-8,
The triumph left the Giants
IV2 games behind Brooklyn but
enabled them to complete their
first invasion of the West with
a creditable 6-3 showing. The
Dodgers, meanwhile, came home
with a 4-5 slate for their trip and
a tidy little three-game losing
streak.
In short, there was solid rea
son for believing today that the
league has shaken itself down
and that there'll be a race after
all.
