Obscurity Boys Shine As Red Sox
Stop Yanks, Tigers Down Indians
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sport Writer
That American league pennant
race is just as dizzy as ever to
day, folks, so how about "time
out" to toast a few of baseball's
obscurity boys, Ike Delock, Babe
Birrer, Jim Bunning, Ramon
Monzant, and Elroy Face.
They get their names in head
lines about as often as the nice,
quiet fellow who runs the cor
ner grocery but Wednesday was
their day to shine and they made
the most of it.
Delock, a second-line Red Sox
pitcher who hadn't won a game
since June 29 and who hadn't
gone the route all season, went
in and stopped the red-hot Yan
kees with a five-hit, 7-1 victory
that ended a seven-game win
ning streak. Delock himself had
been batted out by the Yankees
in the early stages of that win
ning streak last week and with
an attack that had netted 57
runs in the past five games, the
odds against him looked formid
able. The victory put fourth
place Boston against within 3Vz
games of the leading Yankees.
Rookies Dump Indians
Rookies Bunning and Birrer,
two peach-cheeked Detroit
youths worked together to per
form a similar job on the In
dians, the Tigers knocking them
out of second place with a 9-5
triumph.
The Tigers staked Bunning to
seven runs in the first three in
nings but when he began to
coast and Cleveland cut the mar
gin to 7-5, Birrer took over and
pitched scoreless three- single
ball the rest of the way to gain
his fourth triumph. Idle Chica
go took over second place from
Cleveland a game behind the
Yanks.
In the National league, Mon
zant pitched the first complete
game of his major league career,
retarding Brooklyn's pennant
bound Dodgers with a 5-1 Giant
victory in which he gave up
eight hits, also striking out
eight.
It was almost the same sort
of a night for Elroy Face of the
Pirates, who went the' distance
for the second time this year
and gained his third victory, a
six-hit 6-4 job over the Phillies
in which his mates backed him
with 16 hits.
Second place Milwaukee, half-a-continent
away from Brook
lyn and just about that far be
hind in the standings, cut the
margin to 14 games by beating
the Cardinals 11-4 on a grand
slam homer by Del Crandall
and two-run blasts by Andy Paf
ko and Ed Mathews. It was No.
32 for Mathews.
Sauer Hits Two Homers
Hank Sauer, for whom life
has gone a little sour, came off
the bench for the first time in
11 games and cracked a pair of
his old specialty home runs to
give the Cubs a 3-2 victory over
the Redlegs at Cincinnati and
Bob Rush his 10th pitching vic
tory. A two-run homer by
Smoky Burgess in the first in
ning deprived him of a shutout.
The Baltimore - Washington
doubleheader was rained out.
Two other obscurity boys help
ed Delock to his triumph at Bos
ton. Eddie Joost moved into the
lineup at second and contributed
a hit. Billy Goodman moved to
first for the injured Norm Zau
chin and had two hits. Jack Jen
sen drove in three runs with a
bases loaded double after Grady
Hatton and Jimmy Piersall trip
led to start a five-run sixth.
Detroit pounded out five runs
in three innings off erstwhile
Cleveland ace Bob Lemon but
Cleveland countered with home
runs by Larry Doby, Bobby Av
ila and Gene Woodling. Frank
House hit a Tiger homer.
In the Giant triumph Willie
Mays paced the hitters with a
triple and two singles. Pitts
burgh's hit parade was led by
Eddie O'Brien, Jerry Lynch and
Preston Ward with three apiece.

Fans Must Be Lured Away
From TV, Radio Sets To
Enable Minors
(This is the second of a iwo
part series on the plight of
minor league baseball and
what can be done to solve its
problems. Presidents of minor
leagues, where cities dropped
out this season, discuss the sit
uation.) By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
Minor league baseball can
make a comeback, perhaps even
a spectacular one, but something
will have to be done first to lure
people away from their televi
sion and radio sets.
Minor league presidents who
had cities fold up on them this
season blame not only the broad
casting of major league games
into their territory but the over
all magnetism of that magic liv
ing room screen.
"We can't take baseball broad
casts, either radio or TV, away
from the people," said Tommy
Richardson of Williamsport, Pa.,
president of the Class A Eastern
League. "They feel they have a
right to watch or listen when a
big league game is on, even
though it may make them less
interested in going out to our
parks. It is up to us to make our
product so attractive the fans
will come out and see us no mat
ter what else is going on."
Asks Press, Radio Aid
Emmet Harty, president of the
Cotton States League at Green
ville, Miss., thinks that rebirth
of interest could come through
greater devotion to baseball at
the local level by community
press, radio, and television.
"Our papers carry a small col
umn on the Cotton States league
and the rest of the sports page
baseball is on the majors," he
said. "Our announcers devote
five minutes or less to our league
and the rest to majors."
Shelby Peace, president of the
Kitty League at Hopkinsville,
Ky., cited the need for making
the local minor league star the
hero he used -to be.
"I recall that when Gabby
Street, who went on to big league
fame, was the catcher at Hop
kinsville, kids stood outside the
entrance to the ball park to carry.
his glove. He was an idol and
there were other players in those
days who were idolized. In al
most every town there were one
or two outstanding kid players
on the high school team. These
kids would sign with pride on
the home team and they would
draw 200 to 300 extra fans to
each game. Now they sign big
league contracts and drift away."
Jerry Donovan, head of the
California League at San Fran
cisco, also declared local pride
needs to be restored, but that it
will take a more spirited brand

To Survive
of baseball with fewer delays to
bring back the customers.
"We should make managers as
sume more responsibility for
keeping the game moving," he
said.
"Warm up pitches between in
nings could be cut in half and
there should be none of this
business of managers and play
ers going to the mound to talk
with the pitcher. They don't go
out and talk to the center field
er, do they? Even a little thing
like throwing the ball directly
to the pitcher after an out is
made would snap up the game,
instead of throwing the ball
around the infield."
Chauncey Devault, head of the
Appalachian league, thinks bet
ter promotion and more help
from sports writers would give
me minors a oig snoi in xne arm,
while A. O. Hadden, president
of the Georgia State' league at
Dublin, Ga., cited poor manage
ment and poor promotion as the
cause of failures in Jiis league.
"Both situations that can be rem
edied," he said.
Majors Can Help
Both Richardson and Donovan
declared that the majors could
help to restore lost prestige of
their minor league brothers by
financial aid.
"It is time to ask the majors to
subsidize' us," said Richardson.
"And it won't take a lot of
money, either. In some cases
just putting in a top flight mana
ger and paying his salary, then
encouraging him to comb the ter
ritory for good ball players
would be enough to keep a town
going. The major league club can
save some scouting expense and
they can put money to -use that is
now going in big chunks to these
bonus boys."
Donovan recommended that
the major leagues re-establish
strong farm systems in different
sections of the country and "sub
sidize them or let the small in
dependent operators sign young
players in their section."
"Then let the majors buy the
players from baseball operators
instead of giving the bonus to the
player," he said. "Just think of
all the bonus money paid to
players in the past number of
years. That money is out of base
ball, never to return. If the
small operators received all that
money from selling players, I
don't believe we would be fac
ing financial difficulty."
In 1954, Americans spent an
unprecedented 234 billion dol
lars for goods and services.

Work Moving Along
On Umpqua Fishway
Portland Steelhead and sal
mon will find the South Ump
qua falls mighty easy this fall
and winter if all goes well on
the fishway now under construc
tion. ,
According to George Kernan,
chief engineer, Oregon Game
Commission, low water flows
have favored construction and
the Teller Construction company
of Portland,' contractors on the
job, have been progressing well
ahead of schedule.
All excavation and forms for
the concrete fish ladder have
been completed with the .rein
forcement steel now being in
stalled. The first concrete will
be poured within the week.
Construction of the. ladder will
be completed before high water
this fall.
South Umpqua falls has long
been a stumbling block for mi
grating fish. Only at certain
stages of water flow were steel
head, salmon, and other fish
able to pass. During extreme
low flows all fish were forced
to remain below the falls, seri
ously reducing the number
which were able to spawn suc
cessfully The new ladder will
allow passage at all stages of
water flow, enabling fish to
reach the vast spawning reaches
to the headwaters.

Rapp Spurs Pad Win:
Beavers Bounce Suds
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Earl Rapp broke out of a bat
ting slump and propelled the San
Diego Padres to a 10-innmg 4-3
win over Sacramento which
boosted the Pads into a virtual
tie for second place in the Pac
ific coast league.
Rapp, ' whose booming bat
spearheaded the Padres during
their 10-week occupancy of first
place, socked a two-run homer
in the sixth inning and batted
in the winning run in the top
of the 10th. He had another
single for a total of 3-for-5.
The winning run in the 10th
actually was unearned. Buddy
Peterson singled with one out
and moved into scoring position
when catcher Buddy Heslet
threw the ball away in an at
tempted pickoff. Rapp then
singled home Peterson and Char
lie Bishop shut out the Sacs in
the bottom of the 10th to take
the win.
The victory left San Diego one
percentage point behind the Hol
lywood Stars, who were idle.
Other Games
In the only other games, Port
land downed league-leading Seat
tle, 5-4, with an unearned run
in the ninth inning and San Fran
cisco likewise edged Oakland,
4-3, with a ninth inning run
forced in when reliefer Tom
Borland walked Reno Cheso with
the bases loaded.
Seattle saw its first place mar
gin trimmed to four games as
the Beavers squared the series
at .a game apiece. Relief pitcher
Bill Kennedy's throwing error
allowed Portland's ninth inning
run.
Relief pitcher Ed Burtschy
singled with one out and was sac
rificed to second. Carl Powis
grounded to the pitcher and Ken

Theft of Salmon
Breeding Stock
Hinders Program
Portland Some would -b
sportsman got a dandy mess of
fish last week but in so doing
almost dealt a death blow to the
Oregon Game Commission's At
lantic salmon rearing program.
The theft last week of 22 of
these fish from the brood ponds
at the Wizard Falls hatchery, al-
most one-third of the total brood
stock, will seriously reduce the
Atlantic salmon rearing pro
gram for several years to come.
curtailing the game commission's
attempt to plant this fighting
strain of fish in Oregon waters.
State police who investigated
the theft found evidence that a
car or light truck had been
parked across the bridge. A dir
net or snagging method were
used to take the fish from the
holding ponds. Blood at the pool
edge indicated injury to some
of the fish.
Average Four Pounds
The large Atlantic salmon av
eraging about four pounds each
were brood fish from which eggs
are taken and hatched at the
Wizard, Falls plant. Waters
judged to be most suited for suc
cessful growth are then planted
with the fingerling salmon.
. Aside from a few at Klamath,
all of the Atlantic salmon brood
fish were being held at the Wiz
ard Falls hatchery. . "
Davis lake in 1951 was the
first lake in Oregon to receive
plantings of Atlantic salmon o
stock. This year, Dave Fred
erickson, state patrolman, talked
with an angler who had landed
three of these salmon weighing
from three to five pounds. Fred-
erickson definitely identified the
fish as Atlantic salmon.
The angler stated that they
were the "fightingest fish" he
had ever caught.
