SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1953 ' HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Jf i 5. In. DON SUTPHIN. ex. Oregon Tech basketball star, recently enrolled for another stint at the school. Sutphin, center of a disciplinary flare-up two seasons ago, was benched by Coach Art Kirkland for "the good of the team". He fin ished that term at Portland State. He plans to turn out for basketball this season un der Coach Skeer O'Connell who takes back the cage reins on the mile-high campus. GROWN-UP ATHLETES note can take a lesson from a bunch of Icids for competitive spirit and real. 1 We have reference to the Farmer'- Lumber team In the Midget Softball League, currently tied with Exchange Club for the league lead iboth with 11-1 rec ords). Their top pitcher is Larry Fer lson, a 13-year-old boy who will enter Fremont Junior High School in September. He has pitched two no-hiUers and shares in another. BL'T HERE'S the pals of the story we like. Tne team has no coach. They're just a bunch of "ball happy" kids as Larry's mother puts it. First baseman Gary Gayely acts as manager for the team. The sponsor, because of press ing busines duties, has no time to attend practice. He shows Up on game nights and scratches out a line-up. The kids take it from there. And they've "taken it from there" in good style. They've won 11 games, the same number as Exchange Club, while the two teams have split in two games to date to share a tie lor the lead. WE PERSONALLY wonder at "sponsors who won't go even so for as to buy the kids baseball caps and shirts. But more profound than our wonderment is our admiration for. a bunch of boys who play ball to the hilt on their own, without an older man to guide them. One of the lads on the team gummed it up better than we can when he said, "We may be the rattiest-looking team in the league, but we show 'em". We'd like to see this team cook up a nickname and go without a : jonsor who does nothing more than hang his company's name on the team. . If the Midget and Pee Wee Softball leagues fold in this town land we'll be the first to hope thev don't) the blame can be placed on older persons who don't go out of their way to see that the worthwhile program continues. It won't be the kids' fault . not when you have a gang oi mail frv 1 ke the Farmer's Lam- beT team that generates its own hustle with little outside encour agement. WE'VK MENTIONED just Fer euson and Gayely. The rest of the 'ragmuffins" are Don Gresdale. Gene Baxter, Bob Sari. Bob Yunck, Danny Shaw, Larry Brown, Larry Duell, Ivan Fankey, Joe Tucanni, jack weoo, Eusene Cornett and the Gath- wright brothers Gary. Terry and Freddie. BRIEFS FROM (he sports file: Promoter Mack Lillard dropped In the other day to say hello and announce that the weekly wrestling programs will start again in Sep tember . . . "soon after Labor Day" . . . speaking of Labor Day. it's tusl a little more than a month before the Herald and News stages it annual Invitational Teiv nis Tournament . . . Earl Brooks, nrasident of the Klamath Falls Tennis Club, assures us thai there'll be "some new faces on deck this year ... he looks for a successful net meet . . and iust a week away is our va cation when we'll rest up for the Job of covering Pelican, Oregon Tech and County League iootoan . . . among other things ... In answer to those who ak how lona- the hardtop races will run, Sam Neslln tells us "as long as Us warm" ... your guess on the weather is as good as the next guy's ... I RIDIN' I HERD .... jfl With Red Hurd Roberts Notches 18th Win By BEX PHLEGAB AP Sports Writer If Paul Richards still hones to have pennant aspirations when he hits New York next weekend he better set up a base hit ration sys tem for his "feast or famine" Chi cago White Sox. On Thursday the second nlace Sox broke out with the biggest barrage of the year 21 safeties that produced 17 runs at Boston. But last night at Washington the Sox managed only three hits off Bob Forterfield and got beat, 3-0. ine loss cost them a full same in the flag chase since the New York Yankees smothered SL . Louis as expected, 11-5. Chicago now trails by 5'i games. A shutout was In the books in Washington since the league's two most proline shutout pitchers were facing each other. Virgil-CFirei Trucks, winner of eight straight since joining Chicago in mid-June, had pitched five scoreless games. So had Porterlield. 1 TWO RUNS The Senators made certain ui the first inning that they weren't the ones wno were noma to tret white. wasnea. Jackie Jensen drove In one run with a double and scored the second on Jim Busby's single. Por- terneid never gave the White Sox a chance. Only two men got as far as second and at one time he re. tired 15 In order. Seven of New York's runs against St. Louis were unearned as the bumbling Brownies committed four errors. Yogi Berra drove in three runs' with a triple. Irv Noren drove In two more with another triple. Cleveland, smarting from the sting of two defeats in New York, took It out on the Philadelphia Athletics to the tune of 12-6. Wally Westlake hammered five straight hits Including a home run. The vic tory went to Dave Hoskins after Ait Houtteman again failed to last. BRANCA WINS Ralph Branca, the pitcher no club In the National League could use, won his second game for the De. troit Titters, beating . Boston. 5-3. The loss dropped the fourth-place Red Sox lQ'.a games behind New York. . Brooklyn finally broke Us west of - the . Mississippi jinx with a 2-1 squeaker over the Cardinals in St. Louis. It was the Dodgers's first triumph in six tries in the Cards' borne park this season. Carl Ersklne posted his sixth victory of the month. By winning the Dodgers ran their National League lead to eight games over the Milwaukee Braves who bowed 5-1 to Robin Roberts in the first game of a twilight-night doubleheader. The second game scoreless pitching duel between Bob Miller and Max Surkont, was halted in the top of the 11th inning because of rain. FOUR HITS Roberts gave up Just four hits in winning his 18th game, lour more than any other pitcher 'in'the majors. Del Ennls and Stan Lopaia homered for the Phils. Larry Jansen, who earns a good shave of his New York Giant pay check by beating the Cincinnati Redlegs, did it again, this time by a 9-2 margin. The victory was Jan- sen's 10th of the year and fifth oyer Cincinnati. His lifetime mark against the Reds is 24-3. Al Dark and Hank Thompson helped him with home runs. After losing 22 of their last 26 games the Pittsburgh Pirates had the pleasure of meeting Chicago yesterday and they promptly whipped the Cubs, 4-0, on Murry Dickson's 8-hit pitching. , Stars In Mix With Roseburg All.etare frnm th WomM'l CitV Softball League host Roseburg to night in me ieaiure aurai;wvu vu Conger Field.
