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 ...

Winner May
Get Walcott
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK i Jersey Joe
Walcott is dangling the million
dollar prire of a September heavy
weight title shot before the shining
eyes of Rocky Marciano and Harry
Matthews.
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.

Bonney has called a session of all
