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.
