Double Bill
Slated For
Gems Tonight
Locals Washed Out
At Willows; Games
Here Are Dubious
The Klamath Gems were washed
out completely over the week-end
down at Willows and the chances
are SO-SO that they will be over
burdened with Inactivity here to
night. A twi-night holiday double bill
la on the slate for today out at
Gems field but the set is hanging
in the balance. A couple of hours of
sunlight will keep the games on.
another shower or two of rain will
call them off.
A decision may not be made until
the middle of the afternoon.
The Marysvllle Braves are in town
to furnish the opposition for the
doubleheader and for a single game
Tuesday night. First game of the
twin bill is scheduled to start at
I p. m., second game about 7:45.
Tuesday night's tilt will be a
"ladles' nite" feature, first of the
season for the local park. AU ladies
will be admitted free of charge.
ONE RELEASED
The May 30 squad-cutting dead
line passed with only one boy being
released by the Gems. He is For
rest (Shotgun) Schoettgen. right
handed pitcher, who was made a
free agent. The Gems roster now
has sixteen players and the man
ager, class D league limit.
Schoettgen, 18 years old and a
resident of Columbia, Calif., was
property of the Stockton Pons and
farmed out to the Gems. Re had
appeared in five games, winning one
and losing two.
Manager Joe Gantenbein said that
he believed Schoettgen had plenty of
ability but needed a little semi-pro
experience to develop confidence in
his work. .A season of semi -pro
throwing should enable htm to stick
in organized baseball.
The Stockton team was notified
that Schoettgen was being turned
loose.
The Gems expect to have one or
two more players coming in some
time this week and when they ar
rive will have to lop off some mem
bers of the present squad to make
room. After May 30 a class D club
Is allowed to carry only 17 players on
the active roster.

Pirates Must Have
Out-swapped Rickey
Ex-Dodgers Winning For Smoky Citizens
By JOE REICHLER
Associated hni Sports Writer
Pittsburgh fans. Jubilant over the early season success o( their favorites, gated upon Frank E.
McKlnney, Pirate president, with new admiration today.
From the looks of tilings after six weeks of the major league season, there breathes a man who finally
has gotten at least an even break In a player transaction with Branch Rickey, the acknowledged No. t
trader In baseball.
So imagine the Pittsburgh fans' Joy yesterday when the Plrales knocked off the league leading
St. Louis Cardinals in a doubleheader, 8-3 and 7-8. The victories, which tightened Pittsburgh's grasp on
third place in the National league pennant race, were achieved mainly with players obtained from the
Dodgers
To begin with. Pitchers Kirby lllgbe and Vlo LoinburdI were credited with the victories. Each tolled
for the Brooks. Hlgbe allowed only one hit In 4 1S Innings of scoreless relief in the first game. Lombardl,
also working In relief, held the Cards scoreless In a two-Inning mound stint In the aftermath.
The big guns of the attack, along with Outfielders Wally Westlake and Ralph Klner, were ex-Dodgers
Kd Stevens, Bian Rojek and Dixie
walker.

Outlook
Not Good
PORTLAND. May 31 In spite of
the fact that Oregon's pheasant
population is favorable this spring,
little hunting can be expected this
year if the cold wet weather con
tinues through the rest of May and
June. John McKean, in charge of
upland birds for the Oregon state
game commission, stated that the
first broods hatched in the wild
state have already been observed by
game field agents. He also pointed
out that little survival can be ex
pected from these newly hatched
birds in cold wet weather.
In Eastern Oregon the lateness
of the season has delayed the
growth of vegetation to such an ex
tent that little nesting cover Is
available for pheasants and high
losses by prcdation can be expect
ed. Many nesting areas also have
been flooded out with high waters
throughout the state.
C. A. Lockwood, game supervisor,
announced that plans call for the
rearing and releasing of 60,000
pheasants this season at the com
mission's game farms. The wet
cold weather, however, has hinder
ed artificial propagation of pheas
ants as well as the reproduction In
the wild state.

gave up 12 hits, while the Loggers

Bing's Voice Persuades Lad
To Hook With Bucs
By HOB MVKII8
LOS ANGELES, May Jl W-l!aeuall 'I major league scouts are In
for tough competition If the following story Is true.
Seems that a squad of Ivory huntera descended en innnae oil Hula.
Idaho, all anxious to take a look at a brilliant young high school
pitcher named Bob lws, and all determined to sign him up If h
looked good. He did.
Present, according to the story, were such exiierlenced talent Judges
as Dutch Rtiether of the New York Giant. Mollis (Sloppy) Thurston
of Cleveland and others-Including the oft-tuallgiied Floyd Caves
tTliree Men on a Base Babe) Herman, scouting for I'lltsbiiigh.
All held out tantalising offers, but Herman got a brighter idea. 11a
grabbed a telephone and called -
Pittsburgh. Soon after that the
4
phone In the young man's home
rang.
The call was from New York. The
voice was most familiar to the
youngster, It gave him a big thrill
and apparently a successful sales
tulk.
There Is no proof that the culler
sang "Pennies From Heaven." but
It did belong to the vice president
of the Pittsburgh club a gent
named Hlug Crosby.
Now with Der Mingle scouting for
the Pirates, and Bob !loK owning a
small piece of Cleveland, you can
see what the legitimate scout may
be up against.
In contrast to the Junket by the
New York Giants of the National
Baseball league to Honolulu last
year, the l.os Angeles Rams of the
National Football league should do
al' right In the Islands next Sep
tember. Tex Schramm of the Rams olfrrs
a good explanation: major league
ball players were no novelty to the
sports minded Islanders. They saw
the best of 'em DtMagglo. Peewee
Reese. Mine, Joe Gordon, Fain and
many others playing service ball
during the war. No wonder the
Giants dropped around IIS OO0 on
their springtime experiment.
Ram Prexy Dan Reeves believes
pro football will be different. And
the pre-season exhibition games are
not to be laughed oft, either. Reeves
merely pointed out that these gamea
can be fierce for one good reason
the Gargantuans of the gridiron are
In the process of cinching a Job.
and a Job means bread and butter
for all the little Gargantusns.
Ride Note: Insiders sav that the
18.000 Olant deficit wasn't the sole
csuse for the cooling affections be
tween the New York Giants' owner,
Horace Stoneham and Paul Pagan,
bankroller of the San Francisco club,
who engineered the deal and has ex
tensive Interests In Hawaii. Shall
we say there was a clash of person
alities? Quote from a Los Angeles sports
page recently: "With Southern
California scheduling Utah Septem
ber 17 at the coliseum. It may be re
called that the Trojans' first Inter
national fame In history was against
the Utes bark In 1915" Two edi
tions later, however, the "Interna

tlonal contest and Utah got bark In
the union.
