Pelicans put up good battle with North Bend and showed
who was boss in Ashland Saturday night when they upset the
mvr it coast team, 34-33.
' VJ Bocchi led both nights with scoring honors.
The first night he scooped up IB tallies against
the Grants Pass quintet and came back to grab
514 more from North Bend. Bocchi copped most
lot his points in
were needed badly. He started early in the third
Sncrinri and hune 10 rjoints and tmt the Pelicans
A tk. J five points ahead. Then came the last few min
W lutes of play when the score was 33-32 with Klam-
X XJatli trailing. One more bucket was needed for the
CALISE one-point margin in order to win. Bocchi tossed
one in with two minutes to go and put the score 34-33 with the
North Bend tribe behind. All a few gray hairs to Klamath Coach
Wayne Scott.
Welch put on the heat for the defensive side of the race and
put Snidow, the North Bend
ace, behind in his scoring rec
ord. Welch was on Snidow all of
tha timt and kept the race down
to only six tallies. Snidow usu
ally makes half of North Bend's
score. Cox was in tha firing Una
throughout tha gam bringing
in tallies to add to tha Pelican
total.
Young and Foster war on the
backboard whenever possible
bringing tha casaba to their
teammates.
Both teams played without
substitutes and at the and of tha
game 10 tired cagers came off
the maplewood. In the first
game with Grants Pass, Bellotti,
Conroy and Bigger saw action
and each of them made a tally.
In the state meet Astoria is
going to give the other quintets
a bad time. The Fishermen have
dropped some good ball clubs
along the road in Oregon and
Washington and have emerged
with 18 undefeated games. And
in the past two seasons they
have roared into the final state
meet and were crowned at the
end of both. If they do . take
this meet it will be the first
time in the annual Oregon state
high school records for any
team to take the title thrice. -
Eight teams will be represent
ed. Astoria, Klamath Falls, Pen
dleton, Oregon City, Eugene,
Baker, St. Helens and Salem
will be there.
Combined with the A tourna
ment this year will be the small
meet for the B division. In this
league are Powers, Harrisburg
and Union, and they will begin
on Friday.
Klamath .Falls will play "the
Eugene quintet for . the first
game Thursday beginning at 3
p. m.
An all star team will proba
bly be picked and Marion Regi
nato still holds the record of be
ing the first regular eager Tr
to receive such honors for
Klamath Falls. .
At the Ashland district meet
an all star team was picked
from the four teams and Klam
ath filled -three of. the five
berths in the first team. Bocchi,
Welch and Cox took the honors.
Foster was the only eager from
the Pelicans to be represented
on the second all star team.
MALIN LOST
Powers earned its B league
tourney berth by upsetting Cen
tral Point. Malm was on that
road at one time but was
stopped when Central , Point
romped over the Mustangs at
Medford. - . . .
TRACK SEASON
Paul Dellar, Klamath Union's
track coach, claims that he will
know more about his track team
come next Monday when all of
the basketball boys will be out,
too. '
About 35 or 40 boys turned
out last night which was quite
a turnout and only light work
outs were looked upon;
Dellar is making a search
mostly for distance runners and
pole vaulters.
Phil Blohm was lost by Del
lar when he retired to enter
Oregon State college for the
spring . term. Earnst graduated
at Christmas time and left an
open space in the pole vault and
broad jump affair.
Only one new member to the
cinder was added when Dick
Hunter, a transfer from Wash
ington, will turn out..
Bocchi will be back to the
weights and the high jump
Foster and Davis Kcssler will
also be out.
More about the meets will be
discussed soon and the decision
will be out. Dellar does know
that ha will have a meet with
all of the county schools includ
ing Dorrls and Tulelake soon.
But the matter of the Hayward
relays and the district meet will
be announced later.

NEW YORK, March 9 OP)
Maybe you didn't notice a little
item in the papers the other
day saying that Peter Manning
had died at Hanover, Pa. ... He
was 27, a ripe old age for a trot
ting horse . . . Perhaps you don't
even remember Peter Manning,
but two decades ago he held the
same place in the hearts of harness-racing
fans that Greyhound
holds today a champion of
champions, a holder of records
a big, well-proportioned horse
with a shining light bay coat, he
was a symbol of the attraction
that harness racing holds for
men, even city folks who
couldn't hitch up a horse on a
bet.
It was back in 1918 that Wil
liam M. Wright of Chicago gave
a two-year-old gelding, bred on
his LibertyviHe, 111., farm, his
first trial over a mile track in
Milwaukee .... Peter Manning
was timed in 2:10 then and when
he went to Lexington, Ky., the
next spring, he was regarded as
a favorite for the Kentucky Fu
turity .... Peter didn't race at
Lexington, but Tommy Murphy,
the famous reinsman, sent him
through a time trial in 2:06i and
as a result Irving Gleason of Wil
liamsport, Pa., bought the horse
and put him under Murphy's
care. . . . From then until he re
tired, Peter Manning was virtu
ally unbeatable.
Although William Wright had
only the satisfaction that comes
from breeding a champion, it
was Peter Manning who caused
him to establish one of the great
est horse breeding establish
ments, Calumet farm.
There's one story, one of
many, about Peter Manning, that
sticks in the mind . . . In 1929,
after 10 years of racing, travel
ing from track to track, and liv
ing in box stalls, the veteran fi
nally was. turned out in a pas
ture at Lawrence Sheppard's
Hanover farm ... At first he
didn't know what to do, then he
started around the paddock, trot
ting faster and faster, until he
was going at a speed he never
attained on the track . . . Tiring
of that, he found a mud wallow
and rolled in it, staining his glos
sy gay coat with mud and grass.
. . . At nightfall, he refused to
give up his new found freedom,
but late that night a groom made
another- attempt to coax the
horse into the barn and Peter
Manning rubbed his nose against
the man's shoulder, put his head
in position for the halter and do
cilely walked to his stall.
Peter Manning is deadi and
horse lovers will regret his pass
ing. . . . But, after all, he must
have had a pretty good life for
a horse.
Oregon Managers
Postpone Meeting
For Two Months
ALBANY, March 9 (P)War
time baseball uncertainties
caused Oregon State league
managers yesterday to postpone
their organizational meeting un
til May.
With only three entries as
sured, loop plans will depend
upon attempts to interest more
cities in sponsoring teams this
year. Sllvcrton, Albany and the
Portland firemen said they were
ready to enter the league but
Bend's intentions were not
known because a representative
from that city did not appear
at the meeting.
Eugene representatives indi
cated that only the problem of
obtaining a capable manager
stood in the way of an entry.
Salem will be asked to join the
loop since the demise of the
Western International league.

Minors Will
Profit From
War Layoff
Walter Morris, Former
Player, Believes It
Came at Right Time
DALLAS, March 9 (P) J.
Walter Morris, who has been in
baseball as player, manager, club
owner, league president and
scout for 42 years, thinks the mi
nors will profit from their lay
off during the war.
In fact, he believes it came at
just the right time, that profes
sional baseball has been sick
and needs a rest cure and that
during the breathing spell it will
get its feet on the ground.
.This from a fellow whose job
scout for the Detroit Tigers
was swept away by the suspen
sion of so many leagues this
year.
"There will be a lot of base
ball because of the service camps
and defense plants where former
professional players will' coach
the youngsters, meanwhile pick
ing up a little extra money play
ing at night and on weekends,"
Morris observed. "There also
will be more amateur leagues
and ballplayers will be develop
ed and interest in the game re
vived." Morris pointed out that the
Texas league closed shop in July,
1918, but when it resumed in
1919 it had its most prosperous
year up to that time, and that
from 1919 to 1927 attendance in
creased annually.
In 1927 the St. Louis Cardinals
entered the league and soon
afterward the St. Louis Browns
and Detroit came in, Morris said,
adding that since then the league
had gone steadily downward.

H. M. Sias, of Port Angeles,
Wash., was the medalist for the

ing round was Mrs. C. Farrar of
Seattle with a net 82. She was
trailed by Miss A. J. O'Brien, of
Seattle, with i.et 83.

Greg Rice Tucks
Another World Mark
In Cinder Meet
WASHINGTON, March 9 (P)
Greg Rice, a barrel-chested little
guy who finishes a distance race
stronger than he starts it, tucked
away another world mark today.
Rice covered two and a half
miles in 11 minutes, 23.3 seconds
last night in the feature event
of the 10th annual Catholic uni
versity track meet bettering his
own record for the grueling dis
tance by 9.3 seconds.
The former Notre Dame star,
winning his 81st consecutive
event, took the lead at the start
and never was threatened. Dave
Williams of Georgetown edged
out Lieut. Joe McCluskcy of the
navy, the veteran cx-Fordham
flash, for the second spot.

Phillies Begin 'New Deal'
Under Cox and Harris
By TED MEIER
PHILADELPHIA, March 9
iA't The Phillies in their first
big deal" under the new re
gime of Bill Cox and Bucky
Harris today traded Infieldcr
Al Glossop and Outfielder Lloyd
Waner to the Brooklyn Dodgers
for First Baseman Ellsworth
(Babe) Dahlgren.
"It was a straight trade, with
no cash involved, declared
Cox, youthful 33-year-old presi
dent. "I think it's a peach of a
deal. It's our first and I hope
there will be more.
Cox and Harris visited Branch
Rickey, head of the Dodgers, at
Brooklyn over the weekend.
The trade was arranged yester
day, Cox said; but he and
Rickey agreed not to announce
anything until today.
In acquiring Dahlgren, who
gained fame with the New York
Yankees as successor to Lou
Gehrig, the Phillies get a com
bination first and third base
man who always hits well on
the team's home diamond, Shibe
park.

Camilli for a
Bit of Ranching
LA YTON V1LLE, Calif., March
9 (JP) Arky Vaughan, Brooklyn
Dodger inficlder will join Dolph
Camilli in swapping ranching
for baseball if he can get per
mission to report a little late,
says Camilli.
, Camilli, Brooklyn first base
man, announced yesterday that
he had reconsidered an earlier
decision to stay out of baseball
this season to devote his time to
his ranch here.
Vaughan also ranches in this
vicinity and had announced he
would not play baseball this
season.
"I talked with Vaughan yes
terday," Camilli disclosed, "and
he said if he could get permis
sion from Mr. Rickey to report
April 5 with me instead of
March 15 as spring training
plans call for, he could straight
en out his affairs and play this
season."
first or third," Harris said.
"Right now it looks like he may
start at third with Levy on
first, Danny Murtaugh on- sec
ond and Bobby Bragan at short.
Of course that setup is subject
to change any minute."
Dahlgren, 31, has been buf
feted around since the Yankees
sold him to the Boston Braves
in 1940. The next year tho
Braves peddled him to the Chi
cago Cubs. Last year the Cubs
sold him to the St. Louis
Browns, a deal that was later
cancelled. The Cubs then sold
him to Brooklyn where he spent
most of the time on the bench.
Early this year the Dodgers
sold him to Indianapolis of the
American association, but Com
missioner K. M. Landis ruled
out the deal on the ground he
was being sent to a minor
league club for less than the
waiver price. The Boston Red
Sox brought him up to the ma
Jors from the Pacific Coast
league eight years ago.
