F man drew the assignment of presenting his unit's guidon to the president. Kennedy - spoke to the marine, asking has name, where he was from and how he likes the Ma rines. The Central Pointer answered that he liked the Marines very much. GOOD FOR GAMES . Whr ' Stata-Matro high school all-star baseball strias continued whan it fails to draw fan support? (The . Saturday night gams this sea son draw 152 parsons and the ' Sunday doubleblll 472.) Mel Krausa. basaball and basketball mentor who's leadership keeps the series going, supplied this answer - for George Pattro, sports eoi tor of the Oregon Journal: "Because this Is good for high school baseball. The kids have something to work for they never had before. Track Is big now and I have no complaints about that. I lust think we ought to do the Job in baseball, loo." - IV (Krause moves from North Eugene to Sheldon high for ' . the new school year.) GOOD SERIES WANTED I ( Bob Gilbert. Eugene auto dealer, is the financial - j "angel" for the all-star series, I ' Telling why he has been will f S lng to make up the deficits of the icrici, Gilbert told Pasero: "I have not wanted any 5; thing other than to see a good Z xerletand to have it financial- - ly successful. If-1 can get it self-sustaining, with a bank - account, - I'll- gladly turnrlt - loose - jr It seems to this writer that the series would be more of '. a success if the games were spread over three days with v games in three separate - towns. LOOK LIKE MAJORS "You're seeing major league-, ball tonight." That was a press box . comment made Wednesday evening during the Medford and Can iral Point American Legien ' iunior baseball clubs. Now. its not exactly "at enable to consider Legion ball on the same level of call. bar as thai of the major leagues. But. that's not saying that Legion ball ean't be just as scintillating or just as entertaining. We've seen some of the Legien players come up with plays and rout' ing smashes with the bat that would make a major leaguer look great. Truth is there are good plays and bad plays and good games and bad games at every level of the game, And the Legion variety pro vides its share of thrills, Fact is. the Legion players re worthy of larger attend ance games than they've been getting. Medford's home opener had a good crowd and Medford and Central Point seem to draw well when they meet. There was a host on hand last Wednesday. But. the crowds could be larger. We particularly hope for better turnouts for Ashland games than the 30 or so that were on hand for Monday game with Central Point. Then, maybe, the Ashlanders on the gate would not think they have to charge the press. GOOD CHANCE "He's got as good a chance as anyone of going all the way. It's up to him on how far he 11 go, but if ne sets break or two there's no rea I'-' : son why he can't play in the majors." That is a quote from Ron Maurer, Grants Pass high baseball coach, recently in the Grants Pass Daily Courier. It concerned Gary Reddick, GP all-around ath lete who signed a contract to play baseball in the Los Angeles Dodgers system. "I'm proud that he got this chance. He's a dependable player with a good attitude and has the brains that help him make decisions. At the same time he is a player that takes coaching," the Maurer quote said further. The story in the Courier goes on to point out that Mau rer knows what can be ex pected when a player signs a major league contract since he signed with the St. T ouis Cards in 195S and played for a while with Fresno.

It Is scheduled for July 13 and 14 at Madras. . - Koufax Using Index Finger For Okeh Sign United Preu International Sandy Koufax's left Index finger has come around so well that he now uses it to form a circle with his thumb, That's the sign everything is perfect again and it also could be a sign the Los An geles Dodgers are on the way to their first National league pennant since 1939. Koufax's finger probably cost the Dodgers the pennant last year when a circulatory ailment in it forced the left- handed fast-baller to the side lines during July. Not Bother But the digit doesn't seem to be bothering him now and if there's any question about it, Koufax can point to his record of 11 victories against only three defeats. He ' pitched - the Dodgers within a game and a half-of first place Friday night when he beat the St. Louis Car dinals 6-3 for his fourth vic tory in a row. Koufax struck out nine and had a four-hit shutout going until the ninth when a single, a walk and Tim McCarver's two-out homer, brought re liever Ron Perranoski in from the bullpen to get the final out. fry A;3 p, 1 . . nV aV W T mm wa aWWu3AIlsiatiiil DOUG OLSON State Junior Champion Medford Smothers Gems Legion Team; Plays Hawks Today AREA STANDINGS (Southern Dlvluoa) Klamath Falcons Medlord , Grants Paaa , , Central Point Klamath HU Tri-Ctty w . .. .

Hodges Itching To Play After Nats Lose Again Los Angeles -HIP- Likable Gil Hodges was itching to get his hands on a bat Saturday as he tried to puzzle out some way to snap his Washington Senators' losing streak, Hodgea was not quit ready to put himself on the active list but the famed slugging star of th National league didn't close the door entirely on that possibility. And Friday night's 1-0 Ioh to the Los Angeles Angels, If anything, opened that door crack wider. "We've been getting good pitching but just can't seem to find the hitting," the rookie manager said. .. And Hodges pulled out all the stops Friday night In desperate effort to find a run that would keep his club in the game, using four pinch- hitters and runners in the ninth inning. But it was to no vail as their losing streak extended to nine games. - But the Senators ran into some excellent pitching by the Angels as Dean Chance and Julio Navarro combined their talents for the shutout victory.
