HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE i i TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1953 A i I SEATTLE FIGHTS SLUMP By The Associated Prvu It you'U acceDt th wnrri of n. Ham Joseph Sweeney, the reason his Seattle ball club isn't first in tne pacuic Coast League standing Is because It has been in a, slumn. . not lor a few days, but for an entire montn. Sweeney, who has piloted more CPU championship teams than anv man in the league, nevertheless isn t discouraged by the trend of events. He fully expects his team to begin functioning in the manner of which it is capable and then. Bill thinks, it is going to be hard to catch. ' EAGER Beeney's Rainlers, who dropped five of seven games to Los Angles last week, are back in Seattle this week, eager to get at seventh place Oakland. Bill thinks that Hollyw d Is a better ball club than the An gels, even though Seattle beat Hollywood five games to two, in i tneir last meeting. "The Stars have more power and their pitching Is deeper," opined Sweeney. "We didn't beat Hollywood. They beat themselves." Sweeney, who led Portland to a pennant in 1936 and Los Angeles to flags In 1943 and 1944, has more . confidence In his team than many of the 15,883 fans at Wrigley Field who saw the Rainlers drep a doublehuler to the Angels Sunday, Seattle's pitching was unsteady and its vaunted hitting was con trolled enough by good Los Angeles pitching to enable the Angels to win three straight. The one consistently bright spot was the flawless fielding of the Seattle infield. The combination of Gordon Ooldsberry at first, Artie Wilson at second, Merrill Combs at short and Leo Thomas at third is Just about the best in the league. PICKED VP Three weeks ago HollywotAi was a !4 games behind Seattle. They've picked up seven games in - that time and still they don't have a first class shortstop and their pitch ing isn't deep enough. The Stars will be at 'San Diego starting Tuesday night. Los Angeles, meanwhile, drops In on Portland with Spec Padget (6-3) going against Red Adams (6-4) in the series opener, and Sacramento plays at Sau Francisco. Sweeney nominated Steve Nagy (6-3) to open against Oakland's Al Gettel 1M). q , . MERCHANTS LEAGUE A&B Pafnt Store . 13 Specialized Service ...13 Juckland'i Motors 12 Carl's Meats .

Leo Durocher's reluctant Giants, finally exhibiting signs of arousing from their spring doldrums, move in on the St. Louis cardinals to night for their second straight showdown series with a first di vision club.. Flushed with success after gain ing two victories and a tie out of a four-game series with the league league . leading Milwaukee Braves the New Yorkers have a cnance to prove to their faithful followers to whip the third-place Cards! He's that even yet they may fulfill pre season predictions, j , Leo's ladf. generally were picked to finish nd worse than third. But most of their battling so far has been to keep up to the .500 mark and somewhere within striking distance of first division. Durocher has switched his lineup so much he already has qualified for a master's degree in Juggling, but he's going back to ono of his old reliable formulas in an attempt sending lefty Dave Koslo to the mound, For several years Koslo has been no mystery to the other clubs but he has baffled the Red Birds regularly. This, season his magic has been missing. He's tried twice and failed against St. Louis, but he won a game in Cincinnati last week. If Leo can get by with him to night, he- will know there's hope for his club yet.
