of Paret's death.
"That was an accident," he
said In an interview, "and I
would have stepped back if
I'd known he was so bad. You
try to forget, but people won't
let you forget. Every time I
pick up a paper I read about
it. I just want to show the
public I'm a good fighter."

TWINS SIGN SULLIVAN

Frank Sullivan, re

signed by the Minnesota

big right-hander, the Twins
optioned southpaw Ted Sa

Regular play in American
Legion junior baseball's
southern division of Area 4
comes to conclusion this week
end.
Central Point Cheney Siuds
and Klamath Falls Hawks
have their league windup ac
tion this evening. The game
will be at Memorial field,
White City, at 7:30 p.m.
Klamath Falls Falcons go
to Grants Pass for a Sunday
afternoon twinheader with
the first game counting in
the standings.
The Studs tonight will aim
for a break even mark in the
circuit. They are 3-4 in the
standings in a position to tie
for third place. To the Studs
completion of their 1962
slate with a win would be
all the more pleasing because
victory would snap a seven
game losing skein.
3-Way Tia Possible
Coach Bill Askwith is ex
pected to pick between Mike
and Larry Pepper for the
pitching work. For the Hawks
mentor Johnny Paxton could
choose between Bob Neeley
and Rich Grow. The Hawks
have already relegated to the
cellar with a 1-6 record.
Despite their unspectacu
lar league mark, the Hawks
are capable of giving the
Studs a go. They hold a 6
to 5 non-loop nod over the
Central Point crew which
won a counter from the
Klamathites 9 to 1. Only
league win by the Hawks
was by 13 to 12 over Med
ford. If the KF Falcons (5-2) beat
the Grants Pass Mock Ford
club (4-3) on Sunday in the
opener, they'll successfully
defend their division diadem
and enter play for the Area
4 mantle. If Grants Pass wins,
it, the Falcons and Medford
Cokes, (5-3) will be knotted
and in final standings a play
off will be needed.
Jerry McCormack for GP
and Marv Edwards or Gary
Benson for the Falcons could
be the mound foes.
. Meanwhile, Medford will
keep in tune Sunday with a
1 p.m. doublebill at White
City against Rosehurg.

Sometimes it's the little things that get
you. One of our trucks has cable-operated
parking brakes. A little ice or snow on the
cable can cause no end of trouble. But
Dodge is different. It's got a real parking
brake, on the drive-shaft, rod-operated,
adjustable from the driver's seat. Out
here, where it snows often and hard, we're
glad most of our trucks are Dodges!)
