Bears Head
Northwest
By 6 Tiffs
By JOHN R. LONG
United Press Sports Writer
The Yakima Bears are firm
believers in the adage that beat
your nearest competitor is the
way to win pennants.
Two victories over second
place Eugene yesterday moved
the Bears six games out in front
of the pack in the chase for the
first half Northwest League
championship.
Yakima capitalized on a por
ous Emerald defense to sweep
both ends of the Sunday double
header, 9-4 and 6-1.
The Bears scored three runs
in the fourth frame of the first
game on a double, a single and
an error. They added three more
tallies In the sixth on two sin
gles and two more Eugene
errors.
Errors also led to Eugene's
downfall in the nightcap. Two
Emerald errors and three sin
gles accounted for five Yakima
runs in the third inning and the
Bears coasted on to victory.
The other twin bills on the
Sunday schedule wound up even
steven. Tri-City and Salem split
a pair with the Braves winning
the seven-inning opener, 4-2, and
Salem taking the extra inning
game, 4-3.
Lewiston and Spokane also
split their doubleheader. The
Broncs won the first game, 7-2,
but Spokane pitcher Bill Bottler
led the Indians to a 3-1 victory
in the nightcap. Bottler won his
own game with a 405-foot blast
over the centerfield wall in the
eighth inning with two team
mates on base. He also struck
out 12 men and walked only
two while giving up six hits.
Palmer Captures
Insurance City
Wethersfield, Conn. (U.R) -

Palmer and Kroll, great pals,
wound up dead even Sunday at
the end fo the 72-hole medal
play in the tournament at 274
apiece. They stayed even with
birdies on the first extra hole.

prize when Kroll missed a 10
foot putt.

ed superior golf on the final
round, turning in a ub-par 67
while Palmer shot an erratic 71.
Kroll gained second money of
$2,200, finishing ahead of six
players who were anchored at
third with 275 apiece. They
were Ernie Vossler of Midland,
Tex., who came up with a final
round of 65, hottest of the day;
Don Fairfield, Casey, 111., Bud
Holscher, Apple Valley, Calif.,
Charles Sifford, Philadelphia,
Fred Hawkins, El Paso, Tex.,
and Gene Littler, Singing Hills,
Calif.
