PAGE TWO THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Julyl, 198(1 Chick Upsets Mississippi Wrestle Cowboy Yankees Racing to Pennant Nw York Ner Turn of S- ton with Big Ld Over Boston Red Sox. A "murderers row" that threaten to rival the feats of Messrs. Ruth, Gehrig, Musel and Co.' of 1927 Is sending the New York Yankees thundering toward the July 4th halfway mark with a robust lead in the American league campaign aespite mediocre pitching. It appeared a Tlrtual cer tainty that the Bronx blud geoners would head the pen' nant chase on Independence Day for the fifth straight year. Returning home after winning nine out of 14 games in the west, the Yanks enjoy a big lead orer Boston's Red Sox, : whom they hay lumped on this week. .... . e e Manager Joo McCarthy and New York baseball writers are marreling at the feats of "mur derers' row," but they are en tering no pennant claims as yet. They hare learned from hitter experience that Fourth .. of July rockets do not necessar ily remain aloft until October. The Yanks won the pennant nd world series it 19S1, af ter leading on July 4th, bat they wound up In second place in '13, '14 and 'IS after set ting the .pacts on Independence Day.- - . Storming through the west on their recent tour, the Rup pert riflemen . resembled the HIT club that was the sconrge of the American league in the season when Babe Rath blast ed out CO home runs and Geh rig 4. I ' ' i" In winning those nine ont of 14 western games, while the Red Sox lost nine out of 18, the Yanks added four and a half games to their lead. And In those 14 contests, the New Yorkers as a clnb hit .HO, scoring 105 runs for an avr age of about T runs a game. They made ITS bits or 11 per game. Of these, It were home runs, bringing the elnb'a total tor the season to (7. This tour-bagger barrage probably Is a new record tor a two-week period away from home or even at home. , " , It was fortunate. Indeed, that the Bronx bombers went to town at the plate because their fllnger were treated roughly out there In the west. In those 14 contests only four Yankee hurlers lasted the route. Red Rnffing went the distance twice, and Monte Pearson and Lefty Gomes once each. In their last 14 games, the - Yanks saw II of their starters - blasted -from the mound or retired because of wlldnees. All the Yankee regulars con tributed to the batting on slaught, but Capt Lou Geh rig, the "Iron man" flrst sacker, acted as bellwether. Larruping Lou hit .EM on the tour, with six homers bring ing his total - to 18. Rookie Joe DiMagglo hit .888 and belted oat fire homers. Catch er Bl)l Dickey recovered from a kidney injury and hit a .tit pace. . Bill also made fire homers. ' ; Everyone of the Yankee reg ulars, except Tony Lazierl, drove out at least one home run. These four-base smashes wore an Important winning factor as the Yanks took three games of . four from Cleve land, one of three from De troit, three of four from the Chicago White Box and two of three -from the St. Louis Browns. Brown's Weight 3 Pounds Above Feather Limit PORTLAND, Ore., July 1. ) Only three pounds separated Buss Brown and Al Spina at a pre-vlew weighing for their 10 round featherweight battle here July t.

"He'll make 126 and it won't hurt him at all," said Brown's manager, Tex Salkeld, who weighs more than both the contestants together, The Rev.

CHRISTY LOSES TO Referee Belcastro Puts Los Angeles Wrestler Down. Once more Dude Chick's lariat spin brought him victory last night at the Klamath armory. me victim tins time was husky Charlie Carr of Mississippi. a powertut wrestler who gave tne. Wyoming com dot as tough a match as he has had In his 14 Klamath Falls main events. Carr Holds Own Carr, much maligned by the advance reporta of his unneces sary roughness, battled the un defeated cowboy on even terms for 84 minutes and IS seconds. Then he let himself be lifted into the air tor the spin. He dldnt recover In time to continue the event. Previous Information described Carr, a newcomer to Klamath Falls, as a typical "meanie." The dean-cat wrestler, however, gave no indication at any time of taking unfair advantage of his opponent. The victory was the eowboy's 12th at the armory. He has been held to draws twice and has never suffered a loss. Neither grappler possessed any particular advantage ever the other until Chick palled out of a wrlstlock and began his spin. Carr, as clever on the defense aa he was 1b putting the cowboy in trouble, showed himself as capable a matuian ' a baa ap peared her this aeason. Belcastro Downs Christy Although the Chlck-Carr bout was a close, hard struggle, chief excitement on the program was confined to the semi-wlndnp be tween rough Ted Christy of Los Angeles and Prince Mlhalakls, the Arab. With the help of Referee Pete Belcastro. the prince came oat the victor. With each wrestler taking a fall Christy In the first round with a hammerlock and Mikala kla In the second witn a toe bold it took Belcastro to settle the Issue. The referee, a rough perform er himself, slugged Christy after the wrestler struck him. Christy staggered to his feet and Bel castro let loos with a terrific drop kick. Mlhalakls merely had to fall on his opponent to take the de ciding round. The prince himself got rough in the second round to take tall after Christy gained the ad' vantage In - the first period by the use of questionable tactics. Bobbr Chick, . Dude a brother, won his second straight match by stopping Al Stecher in the onening clash. He downed the veteran with hammerlock Ik the first and second rounds.

(JP) To greater extent than ever before, the United States will depend upon new talent Olympio fresh' men in bidding for track ami field honors at Berlin. Of the 120 or more athletes who have qualified thus far for the final American tryouts, to be held July 11-18 at KnndMl's Is- land, only 17 had Olympio experi ence. Most of the veterans, aa a matter of fact, will have a tough time making the team in competi tion with younger rivals. The only 1932 Olympic champion who qualified, John Anderson in the discus, has an outside chance to finish among the top three in the tryouts, on the basis of com parative performances to date.

At Klamath Falls, the top spot Merchants were given a huge scare by the cellarlte Pell cans, and just managed to pull out a 9-8 win. The Pelicans bad the tying and winning runs on base in the last of the ninth, but their very tough luck that has pursued them all year again reared Its head, and they were rable to score the big upset. Jake Glpe, manager of the Grants Pass club last year, signed with Glendale last week, and was at the helm for the first time last Sunday. With Glpe, a former major leaguer, contributing much valuable experience to' Glendale, the Loggers should be one of the toughest teams from now on. The Red Sox added some hit ting power to their roster with the signing of Durascha, former Pelican first baseman. Durascha a .333 hitter, was released by the pelicans last week and immediate ly caught on with the Sox.
