THURSDAY. APRIL IS iflfU HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGX' itjv n wm mm I Newcomb Gets Revenge ' By JOE BEICHLEE ' ; AP Sport Writer Don Newcombo finally has rid himself, of the shadow that bung over him ior years. , The big Brooklyn pitcher may nave won the most important game of his career last night when he hurled the Dodgers to a 6-4 vic tory over the New York Giants at tne Polo Grounds. . Although he wouldn't admit it. the triumph must have been in the nature of sweet revenge for the Negro right-hander. It was in this park back on Oct. 3, 1951, that be suffered the saddest moments of his life. . , FATEFUL That was the fateful day when the Giants' Bobby Thomson ham mered that heard-around-lhe-world homer in the ninth Inning of the final piayou game to snatch a pen nant away from Brooklyn. True, the homer - was hit off Ralph Branca but it came after the Giants had batted Newcombe out of the box with three ringing hits. The Giant-Dodger scrap was the only night affair in yesterday's five-game schedule. Homers by Oil Bodges and Junior Gilliam decided that one. In the afternoon, Philadelphia, behind the four-hit pitching of southpaw Curt Simmons, van quished the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0. Third baseman Willie Jones moved up from seventh to leadoff in the batting order, drove In three Phllly runs with a home run, double and two singles. THREE HITTER Bob Lemon threw a ihree-hitter at Chicago as the Cleveland In dians whipped the White Sox 6-3 to sweep' the two-game series. The veteran right-handed ace per mitted only one hit after the first inning. Wally Westlake poled his second homer In two days far Cleveland. Bookie left-hander Jack Harshman, first of four Chicago pitchers, was charged with the defeat. A pair of ninth-inning errors by Washington second baseman Wayne Terwilliger presented the New York Yankees with the win ning run as the world champions nipped the Nats 2-1 behind Eddie Lopat. WINNING RUN With one out, Johnny Schmilz Walked Phil Rlzzuto. Lopat topped a ball which Eddie Yost fielded at third and threw to Terwilliger for what looked like a certain double play. Terwilliger dropped the ball. A moment later he muffed a soft pop by Hank Bauer and Rlzzuto scored from third with the Winning run. Ballmore's Orioles achieved their first American League victory in 62 years, edging out the Detroit Tigers 3-2. Rightphander Duane Flllete permitted six hits, protect ing a three-run advantage his Oriole mates had grabbed at the expense of starter Ray Herbert in the first inning. Junior Stephens' two-run single was the decisive blow. Klamath Archers Continue Work Last Saturday and Sunday after noons, the Klamath Archers met at Moore Park and continued their work of cleaning and repairing the park archery range. Both days turned out to be very successful In working and shooting. After the group, around 35, had In stalled new bales of straw and cleaned brash away from the rear of the targets, they held practice (hoots. Flans are for more cleaning of the course, and possibly more shooting time this weekend, when the club meets on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Those attending are reminded to Bring their pot-luck lunch with them and stay for the afternoon's fun as well as work.

NCAA Clamps Video KANSAS CITY Wl Member schools of the NCAA gave a harsh ' No" to the Big Ten Conference in voting for the seventh straight year to continue its limited na tionally controlled program of televising football games. Walter Byers, executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn., said Thursday a mall ref erendum showed members col leges and universities favored con tinuation of the limited piogram by a vote of 184-26. The Big Ten had urged a TV program which would permit a team to appear twice regionally, once at home and once away, or once nationally, whichever it de sired. It had asked its members to vote against the NCAA proposal. Some officials have predicted the Big Ten officially the Western Conference might go ahead with regional television this tall. It ex pected, however, the Big Ten will go along with the NCAA program. The 1954 program is essentially the same as last year. There will be twelve nationwide - telecast Saturday games with regional TV games restricted to Thanksgiving Day. Exceptions to the 1953 program are: There Is no provision for telecasting sell-out games, and the panamoramlc experiment in which short shots were taken from a number of games Is - being discarded. TIMEOUT $2 WIN Hardtop Meeting Scheduled A meeting of all people who are interested in hardtop racing will be held Friday night according to Sam Neslln, Gem Speedway manager.

Plans for the coming season and Important announcements will be made at the meeting, according to Neslln. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was one of those nights when everything Sacramento did was right, and everything Seattle at tempted proved futile. The score. Sacramento 10 Seattle 1, conveys the theme. Rookie Al .Clcotte was in the driver's seat. He allowed the hard hitting Ralnlers only three safe ties while his teammates drove out the ace of the Seattle Staff, Al Widmar, and continued the at tack, against Jim Suchecki and Tom Lovrich for 18 hits.; Cicottc is a nephew of the Chicago White Sox "Sine Ball" immortal, Eddie Clcotte, and is on option 'from the New York Yankees.. Tommy Olaviano, with the Phil lies last season, pumped twoi home runs in the Sacramento cause and outfielder Joe Brovia, known more for his hitting, than bis fielding, started a triple play the first of the season. He speared Clarence Maddem's line drive off his shoetops and fired the ball home. Leo Thomas was on second and Al Zarllla on first. They thought the ball had been trapped and catcher Bud Sheeley fired Brovla's throw to first ana it was relayed to secona and both runners were called out. Dick Walbel won his second game as he pitched Portland to a 3-2 decision over San Diego. He bested the veteran Eddie Erautt. Both teams got eight hits each but Portland bunched them in the fourth and fifth Innings or all their runs. ,Jn the matter of sta tistics, Erautt had the edge, He fanned four to Waibel's two, walk ed only one to Waibel's five. The Beavers turned in tnree last double plays and it is no secret that they are going to be tough to score on If their pitchers can keep the ball low with runners on base. Los Angeles had a runaway against the San Francisco Seals, and won by a 12-2 score, Bobby Usher and Tom Brown hit homers as the Angels collected 18 bits off three Seal pitchers. Hollywood's Stars finally won another ball game their second of the season with a three-run eighth Inning against Oakland. The Oaks bowed, 5-4, and Mel Queen got credit for the victory.

Ohio W) -r-If.the weather's good,- you will probably find Bovo Francis on the banks of the Ohio River waiting for the catfish to grab at the ba)t on his trout line : . ; Otherwise, he'll' ' probably ' do some "loafin' around" at the near by community of Hammondsvllle. At any rate, you can bet Big Bevo, one of the nation's most publicized basketball players, is the most unruffled party in the recent furor that resulted In his dismissal from, tiny Rio- Grande College, r . :. . : The college expelled Bevo Mon day .after he missed mid - -term examinations, failed to show up for class and lacked excuses for a number of absences. Thus ended at Rio Grande at least . a fabulous, two-year career In which the gangling farm boy set a batch of unbelievable scoring records, , . - But, Bevo, who announced a couple of weeks . ago lie might have to drop out of school because "bills are. piling up," wasn't ex cited. He planned to "sit back, take it easy and look over some offers..." The offers, he said, have come from colleges, AAU teams, and some professional clubs. He ap peared, content to f'let the boys bid." Bevo's brash coach, Newt Oliver, plana not to complete the two years he has left on a contract calling for 83,600 annually. He has said repeatedly "I came here with Bevo, and I'll leave with him." 1 ' amor Jy wan HOCKEY PLAYOFFS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday's Results .
