Seals Subdue Beavers
3-0 in PCL Starter
By DON THACKERY
United Press Sports Writer
The Pacific Coast league open
ed its 1957 season with a series
of booms that included home
run heroics by a pair of hitters
and a crash by two infielders
that may affect the pennant
race.
The bat heroes were Ray Or
teig, whose grand slammer help
ed Seattle to a 9-4 victory over
Sacramento, and Dick Stuart,
the brash young man with the
large bat and the small glove,
who clobbered two homers for
Hollywood to give them a 4-1
win over. San Diego at night af
ter the Padres had won easily
in the day time.
San Diego may have dealt
Hollywood more damage with a
pop fly, however. A blooper off
the bat of Crawford Davidsori'
sent infielders Dick Smith and
Spook Jacobs smashing togeth
er in the third inning of the
first game and Smith fractured
his jaw. Jacobs suffered possible
fractures.
Hitting and Pitching
Los Angeles got three home
runs good for four runs and
beat Vancouver 4-2 while San
Francisco was blanking Port
land 3-0 on a fine four-hitter
from 35-year-old youngster Har
ry Dorish.
Orteig's Clout only widened
the gap in the Rainers' game
with Sacramento as the Suds
had already scored four runs
and the SolOns spent the rest
of the game trying to catch up.
But it made it easy for Red
Munger to notch his first victory
of the year with his mates get
ting him nine runs in the first
four frames. Cloyd Boyer was
the loser although it was Rex
Jones who tossed the jeckpot
ball to Orteig, the first batter
he faced.
San Diego clobbered Holly
wood on Pete Mesa's three-hitter
in the afternoon game at
the same time that the Stars
were running theif infield in the
collision. In the second game
Stuart, who hit 66 homers in
the Western League last year,
clouted number one for the PCL
in the second and repeated in
the sixth.
Not His Fault
Nobody was aboard either
time, but Stuart, Who told the
Pittsburgh Pirates he would be
back to lead the majors, would
be the first to tell you that was
not his fault.
Monte Irvin and Bob Barkow
ski contributed homers to the
Los Angeles cause in the win
over Sacramento and Bob Dar
nell, who hurled a six-hitter
from the mound, also chipped
in for his run total with a solo
blast.
The San Francisco Seatles got
off to a perfect start by beating
Portland in the loop's only shut
out. Dorish, a fugitive from the
Boston Red Sox, made his first
start in three years and doled
out only four hits to the Beav
ers. Two of the Seal runs were un
earned but the third tally would
have been enough the way the
chunky right-handed Dorish
was baffling the Bevos.
The Seals jumped off to a two
run lead in the first inning when
Albie Pearson was safe on a
bad throw by shortstop Jack
Littrell. Second baseman Harry
Malmberg crashed a hit-and-run
double to right field to score
Pearson with the season's first
run.
Malmberg himself went to
third as Grady Hatton was
grounding out and came home
on an infield out by Bill Renna.
The third Seal run came ac
ross the plate in the fifth inning
when Joe Tanner walked and
went to second as Dorish ground
out. Pearson singled to right to
bring Tanner home.

Ike To Throw Out 10 Millionth
Major League Baseball Monday
In Season Opener at Washington
Washington (U.R) President than the National league did for
Eisenhower now has his 1957
baseball season pass and, with it,
some discouraging inside infor
mation about his favorite team,
the Washington Senators.
Calvin Griffith, president of
the Senators ball club, officially
presented the President Thurs
day with season passes for him
self and Mrs. Eisenhower, at the
same time he "signed up" the
Chief Executive to throw out the
first ball at Monday's opening
game against Baltimore.
New York President Eisen
hower will throw out the 10
millionth major league ball
when the season starts in Wash
ington on April 15 according to
estimates made by A. G. Spald
ing and Bros., Inc., officials.
Spalding has manufactured
the National league ball under
that name and the American
league's Reach ball ever since
the inception of the major
leagues.
Historically, the evolution of
Hie baseball encompasses three
stages. First it was all yarn
wound, then it possessed a large
rubber center, and currently it
contains a cushion cork center,
the latter process a miracle of
manufacturing.
Same Size
The original 1876 baseball put
out by Spalding this was long
before the modern World Series
involving both leagues was start
ed in 1903 was the same size
as today's spheroid, with, a cir
cumference of 9 to 9Ji inches.
The stitching on the ball in those
early days was flatter than the
modern and went around the
ball, only about 75 per cent -of
the way not all the way, as
now.
Weight of the major league
balls, as propelled either by a
Mickey Mantle or a Ted Klus
zewski, is 5 to 5Vi ounces.
The cover, in the days when
Albert Goodwill Spalding, was
not only a manufacturer, but
manager, captain and pitcher of
the championship Chicago team
(he hurled 47 winning games in
a ' season!) required 360 single
stitches. Today, it demands 108
double stitches. Each ball is
stitched by hand in about ten
min--tes no machine has yet j
ern major league baseball.
Only Printing Different
Technically, there is no dif- j
ference at all between the base-1
balls Of each league. Only the
printing on the cover is dif
ferent. Early in organized baseball's
modern career, a couple of base
balls would suffic for a World
Series ' game now the average
total is up to 60. The same ratio
applies to season totals the
Brooklyn Dodgers a few years
ago used 1,000 dozen, or more
the entire season of 1876.
While more baseballs are be
ing used today, the milestone in
which President Eisenhower will
throw out the 10 millionth ma
jor league baseball on April
15 dramatizes one unchanging
point. Baseball is synonymous
with the American spirit. Ten
million major league baseballs
and the untold millions who
have watched and listened to
the drama behind those base
balls can't be wrong.

Ralph Duncan Named
Junction Fire Chief
Cave Junction Police Chief
Ralph Duncan was appointed act
ing city fire chief at the city
council meeting this week. He
will work with Herb Falken
hayn, chief of the Illinois Val
ley Rural Fire Protection Dis
trict, from which the city re
ceives its fire protection.
' Jack Spitz, building inspector,
requested that the council draw
up an ordinance placing the two
streets on either side of Main st.,
Cave ave. and Hussey ave., into
the business zone. At present no
actual business zones have been
outlined by ordinance.
In a discussion of the proposed
civic park on the Illinois river
near Cave Junction, Falkenhayn
pointed out that the government
lease on the city dump in that
area would be cancelled should
such a park be developed. As
sanitary engineer he asked about
possibilities of closure to dump
ing, but was told by Mayor Car
rol Banks that no such plan was
imminent.
