BOB BARRY MATERIAL
A meeting with Red Sanders,
an old timer in baseball history
of Klamath Falls and the man
ager of Mecca Billiards, ended
up in a very interesting confab
on local color of Klamath's his
tory in baseball.
Red kinda wondered where
all of the gang had gone and
that brought to his mind some
vivid memories.
Hank Atkin . . . assistant fix
chief in Klamath Falls . . . here
was a gentleman and a real first
baseman and a dandy hitter . .
Dr. Noel . . . local dentist . Doc
was a smart ball player and a
teams man, and he still loves the
game.
Then there was Ed Clark who
played with many local clubs.
Ed is working for Copco down
by Dunsmuir . . . Gunner Peter
son was another, swell catcher;
Gunner is building defense
plants up north . . . Andy Street
the old under hand chucker, is
principal of Malin high school.
Andy was a good pitcher and
was and still is a real fellow.
Jack Franey is the- deup'y
sheriff . . . Red gava a few da
tails on some embarrassing mo
ments . . . about 20 years ago.
Jack was with his room mate on
a semi-pro ball club in Montana.
They were walking along a dark
street one night when some one
fired a shot gun right near them.
Jack's roomey had a couple of
bad legs and was also a catcher
and could run all day on a dime.
Franey could do a hundred yard
those days in ten seconds . . .
They took off when the gun ex
ploded in their ears . . . when
Jack got home his roomy was in
bed.
- Another day Jack was with a
club playing at a little town in
Montana. All the money in
Jack's town was bet. It was the
11th inning and no runs yet.
Jack tripled in the 12th to drive
home a run. The boys filled a
couple ten gallon hats with
money for him and Jack set
them on the bench. -" '
Last of the 12th the home club
scored two runs. . When Jack
looked for his money, hats and
all were gone.
Bob Barry, head of the big
(how at Camp Newell, would
like to see these boys pitch in
and help with the "equipment
for the soldiers" drive which is
to be held Sunday with the pub
lic invited.

U. S. Wants
Baseball
Despite War
SPOKANE, March 11 (IP)
America wants to enjoy its na
tional game despite the war, a
survey of sentiment on the con
tinuation of professional base
ball conducted by the Athletic
Roundtable would seem to show.
The ART has reached 12,000
so far, with more than 95 per
cent voting a loud "aye" for
continuance. Particularly fer
vent are service men. Mass re
sponse favoring pro-baseball has
come from the Pasco naval air
station and the Hastings, Neb.,
ammunition depot. .
: CoL George S. Clarke, Spo
kane, one of the last men to get
safely, off Bataan, wrote from
Atlanta Ga., expressing hope the
game would continue.
Among other supporters was
Bill Zmrzel, former public eolf
links performer now .blind, who
said he could readily understand
the playing of baseball as a
morale builder inasmuch as he
finds it heartening to follow and
play golf since he lost his eye

PHILADELPHIA, March 11
W) The University of Pennsyl
vania's sightless Samson a
blind man who'd rather wrestle
than eat enters the tournament
of champions tomorrow for the
first big test of his so-far sensa
tional career.
Blind Fred Barkovitch, unde
feated in 55 consecutive scholas
tic and intercollegiate bouts,
moves into the two-day, 39th
annual eastern intercollegiate
wrestling tourney, to grapple
with the best men from nine
big-time colleges and try to
prove that Ex-Star Bob Allman,
now a Philadelphia lawyer,
isn't the only Penn man who
can grapple and win in the
eastern without the help of vi

. Barkovitch, a 128 -pounder
who won 48 at the Overbrook
school for the blind and seven
in this, his first collegiate sea
son, had weak vision at birth.
Then, when he was an innocent
bystander in a stone fight dur

First Base Woes of New
York Giants Tangled Up
By JUDSON BAILEY
NEW YORK, March 11 (P)
The first base woes of the New
York Giants are getting all
tangled up again like the second
act of a musical comedy.
Johnny Mize, the big St. Louis
clouter whom the Giants obtain
ed last winter from the Cardi
nals, recently was classified 1-A
and yesterday Hank Leiber,
whom Manager Mel Ott was
counting upon as a fill-in at first,
notified the Giants he had re
tired to chicken farming.
; The situation is that the Giants
got both Mize and Leiber a year
ago principally to protect them
selves against the drafting of
Babe Young, their regular first
baseman in 1941.
Young remained with the club
all through the 1942 season, fi
nally finishing in centerfield, but
has since been called to service.
Mize and Leiber both are mar
ried, but have no children. The
former expects to be called for
induction at any time and the
latter has decided to stay on his
Arizona farm and be classified
2-C, essential agriculture.
Tht Giants so far have made
no important move to get a first
baseman, saying that they will
wait until Mize passes his final
physical examination. They
think there is a possibility he

bleeds excessively when cut.
On their present roster they
have only one likely substitute,
husky Babe Barna, who played
first base for West Virginia uni
versity before starting his pro
career. Last year he alternated
with Leiber in the outfield and
now, with Leiber gone, as well

Browns May
Come in
This Year
WINTER PARK, Fla., March
11 (P) The St. Louis Browns,
who uncorked one of the biggest
surprises of the 1942 baseball
season by galloping into third
place in the final American
league standings, are apt to do
some more high grade surprising
this year.
So says James Wren (Zack, if
you prefer) Taylor, who is pre
paring to leave his Winter Park
home to join the Browns for his
third year as a coach.
Taylor pointed out the Browns
have suffered less from the man
power shortago or the draft than
either of the two teams (New
York and Boston) which finished
ahead of them last season, and
that is an argument of some
weight these days.
"I have the feeling we'll have
a surprise for the fans this year,"
he said. "Our team is definitely
on the make, and while I won't
say we'll take the pennant, just
wait and see."

She scored a double eagle yes

the scene of Mrs. Zaharias' three-under-par
performance in the
morning round of the 36-holc
match. She drove 250 yards
over traps, then in the second
shot put the ball on the green's
edge, whence it rolled Into the

In Eleventh
Little Mexican Clears Up
Bantamweight Title When
Salica Stopped in 11th
OAKLAND, Calif., March 11
(V) There's no disputing Man
uel Ortiz' clear title to the
world bantamweight champion
ship not after the pasting he
gavo Challenger Lou Salica last
night.
The shifty, hnrd-socking little
Mexican from El Centro, Calif.,
cleared up the 116-pound title
question by stopping the ex
chump from Brooklyn In the
lltli round of a 1 5-r minder,-Unit
wus Ortiz' fight from the start.
Ortiz : won the title from
Salica in Hollywood Inst Au
gust, and only the New York
state athletic commission re
fused to recognize him as cham
pion becauso the fight went only
12 rounds instead of 19. Ortiz
had been accepted by the Na
tional Boxing association and
the 47 states it. controls.
Salica, a master boxer, had
to call on his 12 years of ring
experience to savo himself from
a worse beating. Ortiz had the
edge in every round, battering
his aging rival with a fearful
assortment of blows to the mid
section and face. Salica was
groggy from a body belting as
the tenth ended and then it
came. .
Ortiz sent the Brooklyn fight
er down for a nine count with
a terrific right to the body as
the 11th opened. Salica rose on
wobbly legs, clearly unable to
put up an effective defense. His
manager gestured to the rcferco
to stop the bout to save his
fighter from further punish
ment. Oregon
Sport Notes
By FRED HAMPSON
Klamath Falls, whose high
school basketball team's state
tournament luck has been all
bad, dribbles onto the court at
Salem this afternoon to open
the 16th tourney against Eu
gene, hoping for the best and
with fingers crossed.
The Pelicans traditionally play
a hot species of basketball down
in the southern tier of Oregon
and, for that matter, in inter
sectionai games. Over the years
they have been among the state's
most consistent winners but
when it comes to the state tour
nament well, often a brides
maid but never a bride.
Again this year the southern
Oregon metropolis has potent
outfit at Salem in fact most of
the prep critics seem to think
the Pelicans constitute the most
dangerous threat to a third term
for Astoria, a team that won the
title in 1941 and 1942.

Fishermen Get First Test With
Salem This Evening; All Teams Tense
SALKM, March 11 l) The Princelings of the Oregon high
school basketball realm start tholr insurrection today to drive
Astoria from tho throne, but tho odds are that the shnrpshootliK
Fishermen still will bt wearing the crown when the Jousting is
over Saturday night. x
Astoria, the training ground of the hard-running, tlrolcsJ
drlvo thc-liciirt-oiit-of-'cin type of basketball, has produced the pie
tournament favorite for the 24th
annual championships. Th un
defeated fishermen are not a
veteran team this time but they
have with them the tradition of
winning tho tltlo tho last two
years and they have done noth
ing this season to indicate they
won't do it again,
Two of Astoria's biggest
threats tp power como together
this afternoon to open the tour
ney Klamath Falls, the pride
of southern Oregon, and Eugene,
tho ruler of the tough Wlllam
clto valley hoop country. They
meet at 3 o clock.
Pendleton, the best of many
good eastern and central Oregon
teams, goes agalait a sometimes
hot-sometimes cold Oregon City
five at 4:15.
The Fishermen got tholr first
test at 7:30. Their opponents are
tho Salem Vikings who got Into
tho tournament this year not be
cause they scourged tho courts
but because they are the host
team. But that's no reason for
selling them short. Salem has
had a poor season, but the Vik
ing tradition Is to rise to supreme
heights for the tournament. That
they have done beforo and come
out with an unexpected chanr
plonship. That Is their hope this
year.
The final first-round game of
tho streamlined tourney, which
cut the A division from 10 to
eight teams this year because of
war conditions, pits Baker, the
top team in tho northoastern
corner of the state, against St
Helens, the district 3 titllst, at
8:45.
In the B division, moved back
