HERALD ANT) NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON liimAY, AlKiUST B, 11)52 AVUm TOIN1 TIME OUT! PAGIffX OT1 I'm afraid you're been irivinir him too much whip. Cordon! f(JCC3P- . THK YMCA has injected bubbling enthusiasm Into this year's filth annual Herald and News Invitation al Tennis Tournament. The 'V, whose headman Is ener getic Paul Campbell, a welcome newcomer to Klamath Falls, will be linked with the newspaper in the Labor Day weekend net classlo in co-sponsorship. If the enthusiasm that Campbell has generated for the young, struggling YMCA organization con- tinues, it is bound to pay off in a top-drawer tournament here Aug, '30. 31 and Sept. 1. Actually, all the tourney needs Is more players and better organiza tion. The field has been larger each year for the tournament but or ganization has left more than somewhat to be desired. Last vear the tournev was good but could have been better. The players were here in abun dance, considering the Labor Day weekend is jumping with tennis tournaments up and down the coast. But players were either waiting too long for matches or were sched uled to crowd in two matches in too short a time. . In all, the tournament mirrored little or so planning. THAT IS precisely the reason your writer met with YMCA and Klamath Tennis Club officials the -other night. If the bugs are taken out of the organizational work, tennis players visiting Klamath Falls and net fans can look -tot a smooth-running meet. It's likely all the defending cham pions will be on deck, LAST TEAB'S organization or lack of it was excuseable in view of the fact that the Klamath Ten His Club was socked with the entire load of running the tourney. Main Interest of the KTC boys, of course, is playing tennis and they didn't have the time to prop erly put things in running order. This is the main reason a non player. Earl Hilton, was named tournaent manager. Also it's one of the reasons the YMCA has thrown It's weight into the affair. " I share Hilton's optimism in ex pecting a tourney that is better than good. . We here at the newspaper wel come and appreciate the YMCA'S cooperation. THE STREET-CORNER gab that has reached my ears convinces me that car racing should catch on here like a girlie show at a ' stag party. I'll have to admit that I was among those who greeted turning a, ballpark into a racetrack with some dismay. .- This is caused, of course, with disappointment at seeing baseball fade out of the local sports picture. But I've been assured by the men behind the speed venture that necessary changes that had to be made to get Gems Stadium ready .for racing cars will be by no . means rule out the return to base ballwhen and IF the National Pastime comes back. For all practical purposes the hard top race shows will actually save a ballpark for Klamath Falls. It was instituted as a Quick money-maker, to pay current base ball expenses. The baseball bond-holders still own the stadium. They're merely . leasing it for auto racing. . Paving current bills will prevent tearing down the ballpark in the event a buyer wanted to purchase the property for land sales. In a recent meeting. Klamath Baseball Inc. bondholders were al most unanimous in their desire to keep Gems stadium for "athletic purposes." In the event professional baseball again takes a foothold here, there will be a baseball home ready to move into. Auto racing will be new to Klamath Falls and interesting.

Merrill Mauler Returns By RKD HIRD Jack Snapp, whose crushing fists packed Uie Armorv for many years here, returns to his old warring grounds tonight against an opponent described as a ring spoiler . Paired with Snapp in the Merrill Mauler's first punch-for-pay outing for over a vear is Paul Kennedy, Los Angeles Negro who makes up ill boxing talent what he lacks in punching prowess. Kennedy was grabbed up by Matchmaker Mack Lillard on his impressive exhibition showing here June 30 after attempts to land Dick Wolfe or Earl Turner for Snapp failed. The cocking school-teacher Snapp is a full-fledged physical education instructor after a year of schooling at the University of Southern California will De la vored to beat Kenned'. Ql'ESTIOXS But he'U enter the ring in the wake of a couple of question marks: How much stalcness has he picked up in a vear's layoff? Will his reflexes be fast enough to dent Kennedy's defensive armor? Kennedy has been busy. He's a cute boxer whom many think is capable of frustrating Snapp's right-hand dynamite, BIG CROWD Advance ticket sales at Dick Reeder's. 5th and Main, indicate a capacity crowd will be on hand to see the answers unfold in a bout that has the traditional puncher-vs-boxer tag. Ralph Weiser and Crawford Mul lins. Vancouver. B. C. mix In the six-round semi-windup. Blackie Vanderveer faces Tony Alvarez. Phoenix, Ariz., in the special event, also down for six rounds. Two four-rounders complete the card. The Armorv doors open at 7:45, one hour before the first bout. GIANTS, BROOKS DIVIDE By The Associated Press Eddie Stanky, the brash fresh man, and Steve O Netll. the old greybeard back for another try, are turning the National League into a four-club race while Brook lyn and New York trade punches in a private neighborhood brawl. Preoccupied in their personal feud, the Dodgers and Giants seem to be concerned only with the yes or no of "a miracle of '52." The Brooks gather around Chuck Dressen to "stop the Giants" and the Giants charge at Leo Duroch- er's call to "remember last ycr." Neither pays much attention to the onrushing Cards and Phillies. The Cards closed to within 8 M games of the first place Dodgers Thursday night by whipping Cin cinnati, 7-4, as Brooklyn rebounded from an afternoon 8-2 defeat to top New York in the night half of thplr dfv.night doubleheader. 7-5. WIS TWO Philadelphia, winning 28 of 40 start: since O'Neill replaced Ed- ale sawyer as manager, swept a pair from the Boston Braves, 2-1 and 10-2 behind Robin Roberts and Russ Meyer. Roberts' three - hit - ter was his 17th victory. Nobody gained anything in the American, except the seventh place St. Louis Brownies who are too far back to make any differ ence. The leading New York Yankees split with Washington, losing the first 4-2 but copping the second 7-1 on Bob Kuzava s four-hitter. The Boston Red Sox dropped the first of two at Philadelphia, 7-5 but came back to break even, 8-4. 1U BlKAlblli The Brownies won their second straight 12-inning game, from De troit. 5-4, on Gordon Goldsberry's double. Cleveland and Chicago in the American and Chicago and Pitts burgh in the National were not scheduled. The "big" series in the Polo Grounds went to the Giants, two games to one, out tneir ma ior a dramatic sweep fell short. As a result they picked up only one game on the Dodgers and still trail by 5 games. JP e 'WV JACK SNAPP (above) will rule a slight favorite tonight at the Armory when he climb! through the ropet to face Paul Ken nedy of Los Angeles. The bout will mark Snapp's return to the ring wars after more than a year's lay-off. By The Associated Press AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Prt.
