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.
The club officials warned people,
who are walking near the arch
ery range, to use the trails that
are marked and to stay away from
the target area, so that no one will
be the victim of a stray arrow.

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.

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.

EAST LIVERPOOL. 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."
