Basin-ettes Seen as Formidable
For Florists Thursday Night
The Klamath Falls Basin-ettes
should be formidable foes for
Erv Lind's Florists when the
two girls' softball teams clash at
Fairgrounds park here tomor
row night at 8 o"clock.
A 6:30 p.m. preliminary game
sends the Roseburg Lumberjills
against the Rogue Valley Qts.
The Basin-ettes, 1954 state
champions, boast four all-state
players and one all-regional se
lectee to counter-balance Lind's
seven all-Americans.
The all-staters are Ruth Hagel
stein, who also was the all
regional choice, a school teacher
who plays first base; Sandra
Barron, a Klamath high school
junior, at shortstop; Teddy
Walker, catcher, a student at
Oregon Technical Institute, and
Mickey Hayman, a pitcher with
15 years of experience in soft
ball. Others with the Basin-ettes
are Pat Barron, a housewife
wno usually plays the outfield;
Maxine Johanson, also an out
fielder and a housewife; Bev
Lloyd, outfielder from Klamath
high school; Sherry Larson,
third base, from KUHS, Marga
ret "Lefty" Scala, pitcher and a
housewife; Margaret Harding,
second baseman from Merrill
high school; Chris Shearer, out
fielder , from KUHS; Eleanor
Hutchinson, a Klamath Indian
who also is, a rodeo rider, and
Joy Adrien, a housewife, who
pitches or plays the outfield.
Miss Hayman is said to be an
outstanding pitcher with a lot of
stuff on the ball. She is a victim
of polio and usually is given a
courtesy runner when she comes
to bat.
If she gets the staring mound
call, she probably will face eith
er Pearl Pinion or Betty Evans
Grayson of the Florists.
The Basin-ettes have not met
the Florists yet this year, a game
scheduled earlier having been
rained out. They are slated to
meet four times after, their local
clash and the Klamath girls are
seeking to avenge an 8-4 loss to
the Portlanders last year.
Both games will be for seven
innings.

Derald Wooton is slated to
have first mound duty for the
Medford Cheney Sfuds this eve
ning when they take on the
Grants Pass Elks in a non
league semi-pro baseball game
at the fairgrounds tonight.
Action is to get underway at
8 p.m.
Just how long Wooton will
pitch depends on his current
shape and on how an ankle in
jured last week stands up. He's
seen no lengthy hurling duty for
quite a while.
The ex-Medford high stand
out, who returned here recent
ly after a stint with Cedar
Rapids, la., of the Three I
League, has faced only two bat
ters since donning a Studs uni
form. He saved a game for Marv
Scherf by striking out two
Grants Pass men in the ninth
inning of a regular Southern
Oregon League scuffle.
Reliever Undecided
Manager Clarence Mellbye in
dicated this morning that he was
undecided as to who will take
over if Wooton is not used the
whole distance. The choice lies
among Jim Kelly, Kay Kelley
or Mellbye, himself.
Starting line-up will be about
the same as usual with Howard
Morris, catcher; Jack Cooney,
first base; Ritchie Price, second
base; Ed McCullough, third base;
and Mellbye, shortstop. The out
field will be chosen from among
Bill McLean, Terry Maddox
John Niles, Harvey Tonn. Fred
Luper and Larry Bigham.
Grants Pass with several add!
tions will present.' a stronger
team than the one which lost
twice to Medford in Southern
Oregon League frays. Tom Shol-
lin, catcher from University of
Southern California, Bob Reed,
pitcher from the Yakima Bears,
Brad Lucas, ex-Grants Pass
pitcher now playing for Willa
mette, and Bill Mar tell, all
Northwest Conference second
baseman from Lewis and Clark
college are principal additions,

Raton Macias who holds the Na
tional Boxing association ban
tamweight crown will risk his
perfect record of 14 consecutive
wins tonight at Olympic audit
orium In a nationally-televised
return match with Billy (Sweet
pea) Peacock.
Macias was a 3-1 overnight
favorite to boost his win record
to 15 in the non-title go, but
"hunch" enthusiasts here said
21-year-old Peacock could read
ily stage an upset before an ex
pected crowd of 10,000 fans.

The Mexico City star was
awarded the NBA title March
9 in San Francisco when he stop
ped Chamrern Songkitrat of
Thailand. He began his profes
sional career in April, 1953. His
amateur fighting started at the
age of 11. He was successful in
most of his earlier matches that
numbered more than 100.
Peacock's amateur career by
1951 carried him as far as the
national championship. He used
to fight out of Philadelphia, Pa.
His pro career has brought him
24 victories in 33 starts.

Pros Appearing
Here High Rated
By Gene Sarazen
Rogue Valley golf enthusiasts
will be watching with interest
the performances of a couple of
the top touring professionals in
the U. S. Open Golf tournament
at San Francisco this week.' For
the pair, Billy Maxwell and
Francis (Bo) Wininger, will fol
low up the tourney with an ex
hibition appearance on Monday,
June 20, at Rogue Valley Coun
try club. ,
Maxwell and Wininger have
been rated sixth and seventh in
the national open field in a Sat
urday Evening Post article this
week in which Gene Sarazen
picks Gene Littler to win the
tourney. Sarazen lists the two
among 20 topnotchers capable of
coming through with titles in
major tournament competition.
Maxwell, 1951 national ama
teur champion, is termed by
Sarazen "another honed in the
Texas tradition of Hogan."
The two traveling pros will
play George Harrington and Al
Williams in an 18-hole best ball
match starting at 1 p.m. Monday.
A clinic will be conducted at
5 p.m.
Spectators will be admitted to
the exhibition and clinic free of

Snead, Hogan
Favorites in
Links Open
San Francisco (U.R) The
1955 National Open golf.torna
ment, destined to be the greatest
of them all in the opinion of
Gene Sarazen, opens here Thure
day with the old-time twosome
of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead in
the favored roles.
A crack field of 162 profession
als and amateurs, culled from
more than 1,000 of the nation's
best, will start teeing off Thurs
day at 11 a.m. EDT, and every
seven minutes thereafter a three
some will start down the fair
ways of the old Olympic Club
course. The last starter will hit
his drive at 6 p.m.
But the fans will be watching
Hogan and Snead in the main,
with Snead the top attraction.
The one-time Virginia hillbilly,
who has tried without success
for 15 years to capture the most
coveted of all golf crowns, is
taking what may be his last
crack at the National Open title.
Jinx To Sam
He now is 43 years old and has
finished second four times,
stretching 'way back to 1937.
Generally acknowledged as one
of the great golfers of all time,
this one has always proved a
jinx to him.
On the other hand, Hogan has
won it four times and is seek
ing his fifth win here.
These two men, of course,
aren't the only stars in the field.
The defending champion is Ed
Furgol, and the lame-armed pro
fessional plays this course very
well. He is at the top of his
game and is just off winning the
International tournament at
Washington, D. C, against the
best golfers in the world.
Furgol probably is the most
confident man on the course to
day. While the other stars have
been moaning about this layout
being too tough, the champion
states simply that it is a "good
test of golf," but that it can be
licked. He had a 74 Tuesday and
in previous rounds always has
been down around the par of 70.

viding European delegates fav
oring either Rome or Lausanne
battle to a deadlock.
That was how Fred Matthaei,

Emeralds Second
In NW Circuit
By UNITED PRESS
The Northwest League has
new tenants in second place to
day the red hot Eugene Emer
alds.
Eugene took over the second
slot from Salem last night, dump
ing the Senators in both ends of
a twin bill, 9-2 and 11-8. The
two victories moved the Emer
alds to within 3V games of
league-leading Wenatchee and
gave them a percentage edge
over Salem for second spot.
Wenatchee, meanwhile, found
the going tough at Yakima. The
Bears clipped the leaders 8-2.
Lewiston got five runs in the
sixth to overcome Spokane 11-6.
Jim Barrett's triple with the
sacks loaded was the big blast
in the Lewiston uprising.

Switch Foreseen
Hollywood U.R) Sports
caster Tom Harmon says Man
ager Fred Haney of the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Bobby Bra
gan of the Hollywood Stars of
the Pacific Coast league will
swap jobs within three weeks.
Harmon reported on his West
Coast sports show last night that,
the switch would be made be
cause Haney, a former Holly
wood manager, was in poor
health. The Hollywood Stars de-
clined to comment on the report.
Hollywood is a farm club of
the Pittsburgh organization, al
though it is not directly owned
by the Pirates. Bragan trans
ferred from the Dodger farm sys
tem to the Pirates organization
when Branch Rickey went to
Pittsburgh as general manager.
