Suds Fight
Giants for
21 Innings
By DON BECKER
United Press International
It was billed as a seven in
ning opener, but they never
got around to the second
game, at Seattle Friday night.
Through 21 grim innings,
the Seattle Rainiers and the
Phoenix Giants battled. The
Rainiers finally won it, 6 to 5.
None of the fans, those in
trepid few who were around
at the finish, voiced any com
plaints when it was prudently
decided not to play the sec
ond game.
Seattle fans should have
known their team well
enough to bring provisions.
This is the sixth extra inning
contest in which the Rainiers
have played this season.
Won by Kazak
Last Friday night they had
to go 14 innings to beat the
Giants 5 to 4.
It was Eddie Kazak who
finally won it for the Rain
iers Friday night. He belted
a sacrifice fly with the bases
loaded in the lucky 21st to
drive in Gale Wade.
The PCL record for extra
inning games is 24 stanzas.
San Francisco beat Oakland
1 to 0 in that marathon con
test back in 1909. And Port
land and Sacramento battled
to a 1 to 1 tie in 1911.

ence play. College of Idaho

gain the win. In the second
game, the Pioneers were led

bled with the bases loaded.
Jim Richards, winning pitch
er aided his own cause with

Epics of Sportsmanship
Noted for Hall of Fame
By HAL WOOD
United Press International
Palm Springs, Calif. In
March of 1956, John Landy
was well on his way to a new
world record in the mile run
in the Australian track and
field championships at Mel
bourne. A rival, Ron Clarke, stum
bled and fell in front of Lan
dy. The Lanky champion, in
stead of gunning past, stopped
to help the fallen foe, thus
losing a chance for his world
mark.
But with the act, Landy
made the Sportsmanship Hall
of Fame, a body organized in
1943 and just" coming to the
attention of the public in rec
ent years.
The Sportsmanship Hall of
Fame was organized by E. P.
Coleman, onetime very successful-
Texas and Arizona
high school coach but now in
business for himself as man
ager of the swank Firecliff
Lodge in Palm Desert, Calif.
Love of Game
"We organized this hall of
fame because we believed
there was too much emphasis
on winning in the sports pages
of the nation," says Coleman.
"For the outstanding act of
sportsmanship each year, a
panel of 50 sports writers
around the country gives a
plaque."
The sportsmanship hall of
fame is growing, but not by
leaps and bonds. It has spon

time. "We're proud of it,:
coach Dean Benson said con
cerning the fast time.

Griggs ran the 220 in :22.6,
his second fastest time of the
season. Drace got the only
firsts for Klamath, winning
the high and low hurdles in
:15 flat and :20.3 and setting
a Pelican record in the highs
He tied with George Koch of
Medford for top points in the
high jump.
Mike Murray won both the
shot and discus for Medford
with his 131 feet 94 inches,
his best in the discus this
year. Koch won the javelin in
addition to tying in the high
jump. . i
Other Tornado winners
were Ron Reich in the quar
ter-mile, Bruce Hill in the
half-mile, Ray Smith in the
mile, Skip Bennett in the
pole vault and the crew of
Peek, Phil Humphreys, Reich
and Griggs.
Weather situation particu
larly hampered the relay.

like a building in which to
place plaques and other items
involved in a great act of
sportsmanship.
Here are some of the great
acts of sportsmanship that
have been honored by this hall
of fame:
In the 1925 national open
golf championship; Bobby
Jones stopped play during the
final round and asked that he
be penalized a stroke. He had
moved his ball slightly in ad
dressing it. Nobody saw the
ball move except Jones. Willy
McFarlene beat Jones by a
single stroke for the cham
pionship. Perry Moss
Perry Moss, onetime Uni
versity of Illinois quarterback,
interrupted a football game
with Iowa, at risk of a penalty
to his own club, to direct at
tention of officials to the grog
giness of a rival Iowa lineman.

Baseball's top showman
gained an official status with
the White Sox when the board
of directors Friday named him
president, filling the post for
the first time since the death
of Mrs. Grace Comiskey in
1956.
Veeck became majority
stockholder in the club after
he purchased 54 per cent of
the stock from Mrs. Dorothy
D. Rigney in March.
