Who'll Get Lippy Leo or Frankie Frisch By JODSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The funniest extra curricular contest in the National league is the one the baseball writers are running to keep track of whether Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers or Frank Frisch of the Pittsburgh Pirates gets put out of the most games this year. Frisch was a bad boy yester day and got thrown out of the Pirates' pastime with the Dod gers along with his pitcher, Truett (Rip) Sewell, and First Baseman Elbie Fletcher. With this central corps gone, it was hardly surprising that Pitts burgh finally was beaten 5-4 in the ninth inning on Joe Med wick's pinch single with the bases loaded. The other leading develop ment in the senior circuit yester day was that the Philadelphia Phillies divided a doubleheader with the Cincinnati Reds and moved into the first division. AAf CJiii.: D.I!.... A. Hold Ball Practice Sunday Klamath Falls war edition Pelican baseball team will hold its first practice session this Sunday, May 16, on Recreation park field, starting at 2:30 p. m. Players are very scarce this year and anyone having any ex perience at all should make it a point to turn out. The army has blasted big holes In the Pelican team, and younger boys will be expected to plug the holes along with a few old timers. Only one pitcher is certain to be back this year from last year's nine Virg Haines. Word has been received from Ken Eenham, but he is not sure of returning. The outfield will have two Veterans at center and left field In hard-hitting Hi Hatfield and classy-fielding Marshall Eye stone.

AU the Card i inals' runs were scored in the j seventh inning. A pinch home run with two !on in the ninth inning by Dick : Bartell gave the New York Giants a 7-4 triumph over the Chicago Cubs after Carl Hub bell had failed to snnex his 250th victory in his first start of the season. This put the Cubs and Giants in a tie for seventh. In the American league all games went extra innings and the Washington Senators set down the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in 12 frames. The Senators were tention of turning out this year, and a manager has not been chosen as yet. Red Sanders, former local and ex-pro player, may get the job. A letter was received from Bill Kennerley of San Francis co, and he may fill in the first base hole, which was vacated by slugging Paul Crapo. Ken nedy played for St. Mary's col lege. Bud Larson, last year's sen sational young shortstop, is not sure of returning and neither is Catcher Dave Dixon. Veteran Bob Goddard and Virgil Gross are expected to handle catching. Besides those mentioned, the entire infield remains intact and wide open for replace ments.
