R tetr-.1.-,Vt Chief, th bojs all aisned thte petition to do away with In com pletelr ridimloue rule that we can't fraternite with the apee tatora!" WHEN BALLOTS are cast for the "bicRest sports boost of 19o2" locally, mv vole will go to the Cokes. Klamaih'a American Legion Junior baseball team. J The Cokes have earned for j themselves a spot in the baseball j nun bv winning the League 4 title of the Southern Oregon District. Legion baseball is designed to j give vouncsters needed polish when j thev "climb into higher classifica tions. ! It's been a crying need in Klam ath Fails for manv years. I'm told that years ago a half hearted American Legion baseball program was carried on here. It died and slaved dead for many years. THEN, last year to be exact, it was resurrected but suffered for lack of mazoola. This vear a group of men went all-out to make it successful. Thev have and own a title and a ticket to the Southern Oregon District playoffs to prove it. The Cokes finished with a 7-1 league record, currently hold ' a 10-S over-all record. A grand job has been done in the first serious attempt to make Legion baseball top-drawer here. Almost 500 customers saw me Cokes split with Medford Sunday. I That a fat figure, consioering Legion baseball is still in its in fancy here. Manv times I've sepn less per sons attendinn Far West League games when the professional class D Gems were open for business. BOQUETS go to several men here and if any are left out it's not intentional. Ray Lamb of the Coca Cola Company should be given the big gest bunch of posies. He's the "angel" in the deal the guy who put up the money for uniforms, equipment, traveling expenses, etc. Big Bob Bonney. headman of the City Recreation Department, has worked ceaselessly to make the program go. He's the guv who has done the major work in ar ranging games for the Cokes. John McGinnis has done a creditable job of coaching the boys. American Legionnaires, too nu merous to mention, have sup ported the program with gusto. The players themselves have furnished the talent and hustle. The program is bound to pay dividends not only in better teams in future years but in a better brand of high school base ball. Ridln' Herd salutes a job well done. BRIEFS FROM the sports file: Salem of the Western Interna tional League is interested in Wayne Rick, ex-Malin High School pitcher who winged the Mustangs to Klamath County and District titles' . . - Rick is with the Sena tors en s look basis . . . Norm TJnis of Malin, manager of that town's Klamath Basin Independent League team, tells me Salem Manager Hugh Luby "likes what he sees" when he watches Rick on the mound . . . Earl Turner, who Saturday night regained his Northwest middle weight title by batting out Dick Wolfe with a, right hand, does more than make - tunes with his leather-covered fists . . Turner knows how to play the piano but good ... he wound up pre-fight shadow-boxing sessions at the Ar mory by pounding the keys . . . he wrote the words and music to a number he calls "Will Tou Love Me Still?" . . . it's a pretty song ... SPORTS MIRROR Today a year ago Mickey Mantle, Yankee prize rookie, was sent to Kansas City for seasoning. Five years ago Brooklyn re tained 4 -game lead by whipping Philadelphia, 8-1. Ten years ago Whirlaway won Massachusetts handicap and $43, S0, thus becoming turf'a leading all time money - winner with HM.S36.

I'm ready to fight the winner." said Walcott Monday after Mar ciano and Matthews went through the formality of signing for their 10-round elimination bout July 3S at Yankee Stadium. "We're ready." said Felix Boc chlcchio, Walcott's manager. "We can't sign yet because we don't know where it will be. But Joe JOE WALCOTT ... pappy guy "ready" will go inlo training camp the last week in July, probably at Atlantic City. "If Marciano wins, it belongs in the East. II Matthews wins, it belongs in the Wpst. Maybe San Francisco, Las Angeles or even Seattle, his home town. Many observers believe a Wal cott bout in September with either Marciano or Matthews would bring back the old million dollar days because of the possibility of a younger man dethroning the 38 yearild champ. Matthews just arrived in town in time to take part in the signing ceremonies in the offices of Jim Norris. IBC president. Matthews visited his indoor train ing site at the Cyo Gym in down tqsvn New York for a brief limber ing up drill. He will start boxing Tuesday with his only spar mate Keene Simmons. He weighed 186 Monday and expects to come in at 182 for the fight. "I think I'll win." said Matthews. "I never saw Marciano on tele vision or in person. But I don't think I would have learned much, anyhow. The hand is quicker than the eye. I'll feel him out in the ring." Goodman's Bat Spree Nets Lead NEW YORK ( Billy Good man of the Boston Red Sox seems deadly serious about recapturing the American League batting championship he relinquished last year to the Philadelphia Athletics' Ferris Fain. Goodman, the 1950 kingpin, went on a hitting spree last week that netted him 11 safeties in 7b times at bat for a .346 average. His week's stickwork was worth 11 additional points on his average, and perhaps more important, a 22-point advantage over Fain, last week's leader. Fain went to the plate 22 times and collected only five hits and his average dipped 11 points to .324, still good enough for a second place tie with Gene Wood ling of New York. Figures include Mon day's games. TIK-TOK WINS Tik-Tok edged Big Y. 8-7. last night in the only reported game in the Girls Softball League. Malin beat Lakeview, 13-10, in a practice game yesterday. City Recreation Director Bob Bonney has called a session of all managers In the loop tonight at 0 o'clock in the City Hall.

In announcing Schuster's re lease. Cap owner Bob Brown said Schuster undermined the moral of the team bv saving the Caps would not finish higher than third, their present spot, unless they show more hustle, Edo Vanni took over managerial chores for Schuster Mondnv night, but the top-spot Tyees had too much power. The Tyees sewed up the game In the first on two singles and a sacrifice. Thev added an Insurance tally in the seventh and another In the eighth. The game made up a previously ralned out contest.
