s PACE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1948 Gems Nip Dodgers For Breezy Starter Pels-Tornado Scrap In District Events 2400 Fans Out For Inaugural Contest About 3400 chilled (mis i tile Klamath Gems make their debut out at the Crest street bull park last night and those that stayed through the entire game saw the Gems come otf with a 10-8 decision over the Medford Dodgers. The game was uie nrsl under the lights baseball contest tor mamaui runs inc pre-war days. Standing room only and that down the left field line was available when the game got under way after opening- day ceremonies, but the steadily dropping mercury cut the crowd in nan oy me late in ninffft. The game was a virtual rout for the Gems for three Innings, but the next five lipped along smoothly and the Dodgers made a game at- tempt to pull a victory out of the hat in the ninth. Dick Pera. storting for the Dod gers, had no luck at all and was credited with let ling uiree runs in and the loss. He left the mound with one out in the first frame but had given up a home run over the SSO-foot left field wall by Gems' manager Joe Ganlenbein with Nick Muti on base. Oantenbein's poke really christ ened the gib stadium and proved that Little Joe can hit. Dick Goodwin followed Pera to the mound and he was shelled In the third frame. Andy Nunes, third Medford pitcher, had things pretty well In control the rest of the way. Klamath Falls got only five hits off the three hurlers, but were pre sented with 13 walks and four passed balls. Stringbean Lou (Red) Vitous toiled for the Gems most of the way and was fairly effective even for a cold night. But in the ninth frame he loaded the bags and was yanked In favor of Joe Nicholas, who let Bart DIMaggio line into a double play to end the rally. GOOD DEFENSE The Gems Infield nipped Medford threats time after time with four double plays, the last one by Mike Poppin. unassisted. Irv Whitt, Klamath Falls boy, broke into the Gems lineup at cen terfield and got one scratchy hit in the seventh frame. He handled his only chance in the garden with aplomb. The scene now shifts where the Dodgers open their home season to night against Klamath Falls. Elsewhere around the Far West league. Santa Rosa's Pirates kept the circuit lead by clubbing Pitts burg 15-9 in a slugging match. Oro ville fell 11-4 at the hands of Marys Yille. willows and Redding were idle.

Coach Paul Deller's Pelican thin clads set out for Ashland bright and early this morning for the district track and field meet, slated for running at Ashland high school's stadium. Pre-meet dope has it that the actual contest will be between Med ford and the local lads, and previ ous competition would bear out that prediction. The Tornado and the Pelicans have come to grips four times before this season, and all four times the Tigers have come out in first place with the locals just a few Jumps behind In second. Winners in the district meet to day will be eligible for slots in the state go, scheduled for next week end at Corvallis. The principal early season ace up Dellar's sleeve was John Stone, team captain and standby point-gleaner in the hur dles and pole vault, but a leg in jury incurred in the Grants Pass meet two weeks ago considerably limited the red-headed speedster's oval antics. Stone, however, is reportedly in good shape and will be relied upon heavily for honors In today's tangle. Deller will also be counting on points by such boys as Tommy Ed' wards and Jim Flora In the broad jump. Jerry Schubert In the dashes and Jack Nichols and Les Foster in the discus and javelin. The Pels are expected to return home tonight. Around The State More than 1500 high school ath letes will compete throughout the state this week end for the chance to enter the spring's big sports spec tacle the Orecon high school track meet at Con-Jus. District eliminations this week end in which only the top two per formers in each event will qualify for the state meet are expected to trim the field down to less than 300 fur the meet at Corvallis next week end. The district meets may bring the best performances of the season to date. Wet. cold weather has held back training, and few outstanding marks have been reported In previ ous meets.

WID ciARn IS SLATED AT ARMORY What has the makin's of the wild est mat card of the season at the Armory is on the schedule for to night, with Georges Dusette. the French Canadian strong man, and Glenn (Curly) Knox tangling in the top event. The match is billed as a grudge affair between Dusette and Knox, growing out of last week's tag match at which Dusette and the bald-head ed Knox were members of oppos ing teams. It Is slated for a finish, two falls out of three with no time limit. Coming on before that fight will be a natural match between Frankie Stojack, present and seemingly un beatable holder of the Pacific Coast junior heavyweight wrestling crown, and Pete Belcastro. Belcastro is making his umteenth return to the local ring, after having been on the retired list for many months. He got the fight with Stojack by way of a challenge Issued by proxy last week. The Belcastro-Stojack duel is slated for five stanzas. Thrown In to get the card rolling at 8:30 is a four-rounder putting Buck Weaver up against Al Szasz .615 1 who, like Belcastro, Is returning to the armory after a lengthy absence. A year ago Szasz was a prime fav orite with local rallbirds. A standing-room-only crowd is expected to witness the night's card. .600 .500 .500 4.55 .438 .250 1 fcanta Rosa Warysville Redding Klamath Falls Medford Pittsburg FAR WEST S 1 .... 4 1 .... 3 2 3 3 . 3 3 a a uroviue 2 4 iWIUows ' . 0 6 Thursday Rrsulu J Klamath Falls 10.

Connie Mack's Crew Assumes American Lead Feller Punched Out In Fourth As Athletics Win By The Associated Press Give a cheer for 85-year-old Con nie Mack and Ills surprising Phila delphia Athletics. Five straight wins climaxed by a kayo decision over Bobby Feller, have boosted the As Into the American league lead. Picked to scramble In the second division with the White Sox, Browns and Senators, the Athletics begin to took like serious contenders for a spot among the top four. It's difficult to put a finger on the reason for the As success. They are hitting only .248 as a club and the top batter. Pete Suder at .346. Is spotted eighth in the order. Only five of the first 14 pitchers went the route. Still they win. Shortstop Eddie Joose. with four homers and a .333 average, rates some credit. Dick Fowler worked only two thirds of an Inning on relief before yesterday's 8-6 victory over Cleve land. Arm trouble handicapped him in spring training. FELLER SHELLED Feller was belted out in the fourth inning, never recovering from a four-run first Inning during which Manager Lou Boudreau made two costly errors. George Vlco, Detroit's rookie first baseman, and Birdie Tebbets, the Boston Red Sox' catcher who once played for the Tigers, staged an impromptu fight to enliven the pro ceedings at Fenway park. The two players fell when Tebbets tagged Vlco as he ran back towurd third base as a squeeze play went awry. Vlco punched Tibbets' mask and Birdie flung It off. Then he threw a punch. After they had been sep arated and ejected from the game, they scuffled again In the grand stand tunnel to the dressing rooms. Although the Red Sox knocked out Hal Newhouser In the first in ning, they lost the game to Detroit. 8-3. Hal White walked six but allowed only four hits in 8 2 3 In nings while the Tigers flattened Jack Kramer with his first loss. There was an argument In New York. too. where the St. Louis Browns claimed Bobby Brown's game-winning homer with a foul ball. The homer, perilously close to the right field foul pole, came with a man on in the eighth for a 6-5 Yankee victory. CHICAGO BLANKED Washington pulled up to the .500 mark by shutting out Chicago for the second night in a row, 6-0, on Early Wynn's three-hit pitching. Wynn hurled hltleas ball in the last six frames. Pittsburgh's six-game win streak was broken in the National league when the New York Giants thumped the Pirates, 9-2. The result left the Bucs In first, place only 18 per centage points ahead of the Giants. All other National league games were washed out Brooklyn at Chi cago, Boston at Cincinnati and a scheduled night meeting of Phila delphia at St. Louis.

Babe Ruth's attorney was telling about the time the Bnbe. Lou Gehrig and other players of a great New York Yankee reign visited his offices In Wall Street. The group was headed for Japan and Meivyn Lowensteln, Ruth's lawyer, was getting their passports In order. "They came down one morning. There had been no advunce notice. But the word got around that the Bnbe was there and In 30 minutes the street was parked and a riot call was sent in fur a regiment of cops to handle the crowd," Lowensteln fluid, That was In 1934.

He eveu stole the play from a re cent honeymoon couple here two lovers named Lana and Bob. Back in his hotel bungalow. Babe presides over a constant flow of callers or as many as his pretty wife, Lowensteln and others think advisable. He looks much better than a few weeks ago. says his weight Is up to 306 pounds and while his voice Is deeper and huskter than ever. It seems strong. He keeps a cigar go ing much ot the time, and a bottle of beer Is handy whenever he gets thirsty. He hasn't seen any games this year, aside from exhibitions, and wouldn't crawl out on a limb pick ing winners. But on most questions, some of which he undoubtedly has answered scores of times, he's quick and definite with replies. One question, "When will the west coast get major league ball." drew a prompt counter, and a laugh: "When we gonna get It back there?" Who was the best pitcher he fac ed? Babe thought a second, and said. "Oeorge Uhle gave me the most trouble." Uhle started for Cleveland In the mld-twentlea and In 1936 hurled 27 victories. Ot his many feats in baseball. Ruth salu he prised most his record of pitching 29 scoreless Innings In world series competition with the Boston Red Sox in 1916 and 1918. "I don't think that record will ever be beaten." He discouraged the idea of a pitch er working his regular turn and playing another position on other days. "I know I tried it. It'll ruin your arm." said the Babe. In 1918. Ruth played 85 games In the outfield and had a 13-7 pitching record. "All wet." was Ruth's rejoinder to the claim by Charlie Root that the Babe didn't call his famous homerun shot in the Chicago-Yankee series of 1933, and when some one inquired; "What made Miller Hugglns such a great manager?" the old boy didn't hesitate. "The first thing was, he had a helluva ball club." The Sultan of Swat Is rapidly re gaining homerun stride.
