Pelicans Win One
On Cal Road Trip
Klamath Union High School's
Pelican baseball team won one and
lost two on last weekend's Califor
nia road trip. The Pels took the
measure of Oroville Friday after
noon 8-4, and then dropped two
to the Redding High School nine
Saturday, 3-3 and 3-1.
In Friday's contest, Dave
D'Olivo and Garry Williams com
bined talents to hold the Oroville
squad to three hits over the eight
innings and win the extra-inning
affair..
Williams, who relieved D'Olivo
in the seventh, won his own ball
game by doubling in the whining
tun to the eighth and then score
ing another counter for good meas
ure. Don Dexter led the Pels .In hit
ting with two hits In two trips to
the plate. One of his blows was a
double against the left field fence.
In the first Redding encount
er. Wllllama limited the home
team to one hit, but Pelican er
ras accounted for the winning
runs.
Reddlng's winning runs came in
the fifth inning on a balk by the
catcher, the one hit, a stolen
base and a squeeze play that
scored both of the men on base.
In the second game Redding's
pitcher, Doherly, served up a neat
'two hitter and led his tern to the
second win of the day over the
Ivading Pelican nine.
. It was a tightly pitched game
on both sides, with Pelicans Earl
Tlchenor. and Modesto Jlminez
only giving up four hits between
them for the afternoon's work.
Doherly set nine Klamath hit
ters down via the strike out route
while giving up five free pass' to
first base.
This week the Pels will be work
ing out in preparation for a Frl

change was posted after a full day
of bowling.
Clarence Buck of Oakland, Calif,
whose league average is 180, scat

barely eased into the top ten in
the singles. He took over ninth

is the only early pace-setter still
in the top ten of the open team
division. The Wisconsin squad
grabbed the lead on opening day
but now snares fourth place Who

Wisconsin a 18 to 17 edge over
Maryland's Eastern kingpins.
Tbe victory not only enabled
Wisconsin to squesk through out

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Big Question in the Pacific Coast
League after the first week of play
is: What ails the Hollywood Stars?
With Seattle and Portland tied at
the top of the heap the defending
champion Hollywood club - is tied
at the bottom with San Fran
Cisco. I
And the Stars are the bunch
many baseball men picked to take
a third straignt pcl pennant, noi-
lywood finally broke a five-game
loslna- streak Sunday, beating
Portland 10-3, but lost the finale
11-2. ...
Seattle bested San Francisco a
sixth straight time 3-1 but the
Seals finally won a game 3-2 after
11 Innings in the nightcap. San
Diego downed Los Angeles twice,
8-4 and 3-1 and Oakland and Sac-
ramcnto split, the Oaks winning
8-3 and then losing 8-0 as Marino
Flerettl pitched a one-bitter.
When play resumes Tuesday San
Francisco wilt be at Los Angeles.
Hollywood at Oakland, Seattle at
Sacramento and Portland at San
Diego.
PITCHING
Getting back to the Hollywood
problem, Manager Bobby Bragan
siws it s Ditching.
"There is nothing wrong with us
that some good pitching won't
cure. If our present pitchers can't
cut it, we'll get more. Didn't the
Yankees lose nine straight last
year? And don't overlook the tact
that Portland is gooa roo.
Bragan figured his best tossers
ar Roger Bowman and Bob Hall.
Bowman did all right in winning
the opener, but Hall ran out of
steam In the seventh Inning of the
second game and Portland scored
nine runs. Six hits, Including
homers bv Granny Gladstone and
Walt- Judnlch, his second of the
dev. dIus two walks, and two er.
nis produced the ninesome. That
made it six victories In seven
games for Portland.
SAI.I.Y
Gene Bearden. former major
lcnguer, pitched 8eattle to the first
game win over San Francisco, and
also started the winning rally. His
single was the first hit oi tne game
for the Ralnlers off Tony Ponce,

Still Alive
In Playoffs
DETROIT Iff) The Montreal
Canadiens are alive and definite
ly kicking in the Stanley Cup
hockey playoffs because a pair of
veterans refused to quit.
Center Kenny Mosdell, a score
less failure through eight previous
playoff games, fired a dramatic
"sudden death" goal Sunday night
to give the Frenchmen a 1-0 vic
tory over the Detroit Red Wings.
And Goalie Gerry McNeil, side
lined for exactly two months with
a fractured ankle, returned to the
nets and cooled the red-hot Red
Wings with a remarkable display
of goaltendlng.
Thus, Detroit holds a 3-2 lead
in the best-of-seven series for the
Stanley Cup hockey's most prteed
possession but the advantage is
a slim one.
The sixth game of the series
will be played in Montreal Tues

AUGUSTA, Ga. UV-Ben Hogan
and Sam Snead, called the "two
greatest golfers In the world" by
grand slam king Bob Jones, .met
today in an 18-hole playoff for the
1954 Masters championship.
The little' man from Texas and
the long ball hitter from West Vir
ginia had 289 totals. That is 1
over par. for the exacting 8,800
yard Augusta National course, and
the highest score ever to earn first
place In this prestige-packed tour
ney's 20-year history. ,
The winner will Join Jimmy
Demaret as a three-time Masters'
champion. A victory for Hogan
would make nlm the only man ever
to win two Masters in succession.
Although neither of the keen ri
vals could break par in yesterday's
final round Snead had, a 72 and
Hogan a .75 the windup was per
haps the most exciting in Masters'
history. Adding an extra touch of

NEW YORK lV-Amld all the
hoopla attending the brave ' new.
big league season, we' still find it
difficult to forget a little scene
that took place In a Florida hotel
lobby about a month ago. It has
somehow stuck in the mind.
The principals were (1) the own
er of a once prosperous minor
league franchise in a small South
orn city and (21 the general man
ager of a major league club. The,
owner wore a harried look as he
approached ' the big shot, ' whom
we'll call Joe for convenience,
Joe." he said diffidently, "have
you got a player or two you could
let me have? I sure would appre
ciate a little, help."
YELLING
"I'm sorry," replied Joe, "but
there isn't a tiling I could give
you that you'd want. Our own
farm clubs already : are - on my
neck yelling for help. Why dou't
you try our friend over at: (an
other Florida town)."
"I already did," the owner ad
mitted sadly. "He couldn't help mo
citner; looks like im.in a spot
doesn't It?."i -,. i . . ,
.'"It-.' does,"1' the F.M. agreed
"How' many players have you got
now?". '
"Not a one," said the owner as
he prepared to continue his quest.
"Isn't that a hell of a note,"
commented the F.M. a little later.
"I guess you've Just heard- one1 of
the main things that's wrong with
Daseball. I can remember when a
man who owned that franchise had
a gold mine."
The sale of Dave Koslo to the
Baltimore Orioles calls for a slight
revision in our estimate of . where
the American League infant will
finish In the coming race. Move
em up to sixth, two full hops
above their 1953 station as the St.
Louis Browns.
Pitching In a new league, and
happy again after two seasons of
thinking he was getting the worst
of it, the glim-little soutnpaw wno
pitched the Giants to victory over
the Yankees in tne opener or tne
'81 World Series could prove a vl
uable addition to Jimmy Dykes'
pitching staff.

Jimmy Hope also of Klamath had
10 points as did Medfords Slnv

Medford captured eight firs!

NEW YORK I Vic Raschl, ex
Yankee pitcher now with the Car

4, 1953. No. he didn't hurl a no
