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.

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. ,
