PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1954 ftlass Confusion foils Bn ML ; iianiond Free-For-AII 3SiS Questions Arise Over Riot By CAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK WV-After one has gone Into the strange affair at faome length, he does not wonder that there was a certain amount of confusion Just before darkness descended upon Busch Stadium In St. Louis Jast Sunday. He wonders, rather, that there occurred no more than a small size riot between members of the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadel phla Phils, that a game was for feited to the Phils, and tnai Man ager Eddie Stanley of the Cards wound up with no worse than a fine and suspension and making a public apology to the faas of his town. The possibilities were mucn greater than that. To recall the circumstances, the Phils were leading 81 and were still at bat In the top of the fifth, j Once they were out and the Cards had taken their turn, it would have been a legal game and, probably, a Philadelphia victory. The sun was down, stankyand apparently vervhodv else In the park was under the Impression that the lights could not be switched on to complete a game wai nan mntu after 8 o'clock. So. as Is common in such cases. Stanky stalled for time. He brought In fresh pitchers at the drop of a foul. Tempers flared and there were fisticuffs. Finally, with two Phils out, Umpire Babe Plnelll lost patience and forfeited the thing to the visitors. National League President War ren Olles, In upholding the for feiture and meting out punishment, observed that Stankyand, pre sumably, everyone else did not realize there was a new league rule which permits the turning on of lights to complete Sunday games in all cities except Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The only stipulation Is that no Sunday game may be start ed under lights in other words, no scheduled night games on that day. So, where does that leave us? It leaves us facing the fact that Stanky, not knowing of the rule passed at the last league meet ing, committed acts which cost him a ball game that his club might possibly have won in the regula tion nine Innings under lights. It also loaves us wondering why the umpires, If they were aware of the new rule, did not remind Stunkv of it when he began stall ing for time. Part of an umpire's duties Is to head off trouble. Driven by curiosity, we have sought to read a copy of the new regulation locally, but so far with out success. "I think we have a copy some where," said one magnate. "Any wav. there's no doubt that the rule was passed, because 1 was mere. He was told that, believe it or not, there was nothing In the pre vious year s regulations that said one way or the other wnetner me lights could be turned in St. Louis on Sunday. It said games at Phil adelphia and Pittsburgh had to stop at B:5B p.m., ana wai mere could be no Sunday lights at Bos ton, which still was in the league when the copy was printed. But nothing at all about the other cities. . CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Cocked Twice Licked Matthews Yet Hurley Has Bids For More NEW YOHK (NEA) When Rockv Marclano whacked Harry Kid Matthews on the chops In the second round two years ago at Yniv kee Stadium, Jack Hurley could not have brought the Idaho-born heavyweight back to New York In a trunk. But Hurley, the master man ager, continued to get great gobs of mileage out of his tiger. As a final touch, Hurley beat the International Boxing Club to Dan Cockell and made Matthews an international figure. Their first match drew 96,000 at Seattle's Sick Stadium, and the stocky Brit isher put the home town gladiator on the floor three times toward the finish to win. That got Mat thews and Hurley another payday in London, wncre the Englishman once more took a decision. That was best two of three without going into extra Innings, but a little thing like that doesn't stop Hurley. He's bringing Cock ell back to Seattle again at in creased prices in August and this trip the estimate Is that they'll do $129,000. After using the old line of bally hoo, Tub Thumper Hurley comes up with a new pitch. What do you suppose is one of the things that L 10'b mi 13 14 IS 18 IVOMbN'S TKIO W Screwballs . .. 17': Loiters .

MINOR LKAClilC IUKKRAI.I. lly THK ASSOCIATKIt I'KK.SS IN TUt NATIONAL I.LAtllE Montreal 4, Havana Ottawa 4, Richmond 0 But Into 3, Rochester 0 Only games bchedulcd Ring Menu Set For Next Friday Next Friday night the Basin box ing fans might be in for one of the best ring programs that promoter Mack LiJlard, has produced in the Klamath Armory with Georgie Price, the Merrill lad who is just home from the service, taking his first main event bow. Price will meot one of the best welters In British Columbia when he tangles for the ten round bat tle with Charlie Clem of Vancour ver. According to reports received by Llllard. Clem Is a boring-in type of boxer who has been able to punch and hit hard with either hand. The bout was originally set for tonight, but to get Clem to fight in the Armory main event, an ad ditional week was needed by the Canadian fighter to prepare for the bout s hcadliner. Lillard al.so is headed for a top- notch supporting card with a coup le of bonus already lined up and a few others are In the making at this time. Darrell Harrington and Eddie Brown have been rematched in a bout that ring fans have been waiting to. see since their last knock down battle that was staged in the Byrne-Mathis program. Dale Mingo and Dunne McDanlel are paired off for another four or possible six rounder, while oppon ents are also being sought for Ralph Weiser the Beatty Bomber i and Spraguc River's KO artist Bobby Barney. Another top bout Is In the pro i cess also, that being between Bil-1 ly Sunday and Monte Montgomery, j both top fighters. This Is a grudge i match that has grown out of a 1 long dispute. Tickets are on sale at Dick Reed- ers Store for Men, Fifth and Main, for the first ting program of the summer season, according to Lil lard. held up the definite announce ment of the third match? Well, it seems that Cockell, "one of the bravest men in the ring today, has a horrible fear of the needle. not Watson's, but the doc's. He hesitates to get a necessary small pox vaccination that would clear him through Immigration. He was pretty 111 after his last one." Hurley goes about the business of pairing MatUiews with his newest meal ticket for the third time like a guy peddling phony slock. The Fargo Falcon simply makes it known that he's doing the addicts a tremendous favor by allowing them to pay to see these ferocious gentlemen battle again for money and Hurley. Hurley, in true confidence mam fashion, tells Tex Salkeld, the Port-1 TIME OUT land, Oregon, promoter, that his city has no chance of landing the extravaganza. "There is just too much money in Seattle for a big one like this." he explains, without as much as blinking an eye. There are, of course, the cus tomary hitches, cockell wants a nationally-known referee and no judges. Cockell doesn't particular ly care about fighting Matthews again. He would rather meet al most any one else. So Hurley will take the per centage of both fighters, guaran tee Cockell, and stay In business. "Hurley is still dreaming of another fight between Matthews and Marclano," reports my Seat tle operative. You would be perfectly eafe in wauering that Matthews isn't dreaming about more trouble like that, but mentioning tnem in me same breath doesn't hurt the Pu get sound gate. Hurlev also professes to believe that Morciano has softened up a little, expeclally after the rugged fight with Ezzard Charles. This despite the fact that the only thing tougher than Rocky- Mariano Is getting no. 01 Marry Kid Matthews and Jack Hurley. "It's pretty dull having the same crowd here every weekend, but they're the only people Ed can beat at tennis!" Merrill, Knots Pony League With Victory Merrill knotted Uie Pony League race Into a three way tie for first place last night by whipping previously unbeaten Sons of Nor way by a 1 1-5 score. In the other game of the league's schedule, Malin whipped Tuielake behind a no hit, no run pitching performance of Owens by a 8-0 margin. In Uie Merrill-Sons ballgame. a grand slam home run by Leroy Johnson gave Merrill the win. Herb Schlecht also contributed a home run to aid John Hunnicutt In posting his win.

Casey Still Considers White Sox NEW YORK I Casey Stengel sends his New York Yankees after the American League lead tonight in the first of three games with Cleveland, but he's still convinced it's a three-team race for the pen nant. The Indians own a half game edge over the Yankees and have played the world champions on an almost even basis so far this sea-, son, winning 5 of the 11 games. The Yanks never have been in the lead. The Yanks deflated the pennant hopes of the Chicago White Sox at least temporarily yesterday by winning a doubleheader 4-3 in 10 innings and 11-1. This dumped the third place Sox 6V2 games behind Cleveland. But in discussing the way the Yanks and Indians have traded decisions Stengel outlined the road back for Chicago. "If it keeps up like this," he said, "those fellers can come back by beating the other fellers (mean ing the second division teams.) The veteran Yankee manager didn't have much to say about his immediate problems with the In dians except to pick Eddie Lopat as his starter for tonight. Big Chief Allie Reynolds will be in the bull pen, just' as he was yesterday. He wasn't needed against Chicago and If he escapes work again tonight he'll be the starter tomorrow. If he works Sten gel hopes it will be brief enough to bring him back as a starter Sunday. Whitey Ford will open whichever game Reynolds doesn't. Al Lopez, the Cleveland man ager, told Boston writers "even though we had to use (Bobby) Feller and (Bob) Lemon I think our pitching is set for the Yankee series starting with Early Wynn." He's picked rookie Don Mossl for the second game. Mike Garcia will get the call Sunday. HOTELS OSBURN HOLLAND EUGENE, ORE. MEDFORD Thoroughly Modern Mrs. J. E. Earley Joe Barley Jr. Proprietor! By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS .. There are times when San Di ego seems to be down but It's never out and because the Padres keep trying they stay within strik ing distance of the Hollywood Stars, Pacific Coast League pace setters. At one stage of their game in Seattle Thursday night the Padres were behind, 7-2, but they kept pecking away, put on a six-run fifth inning, and finally beat the Ralniers in a real slugfest, 14-11. The victory kept Lelty O'Doul's club 5',i games behind Hollywood. San Diego collected 17 hits off five Seattle hurlers. In their big fifth Inning, Al Federoff walked, then came home on singles by Buddy Peterson and Dick Sisler. Earl Rapp's three-run homer cleared the bases, and "V e r n Kindsfather relieved Bob Hall on the bound for Seattle. After Harry Elliott singled and Milt Smith doubled, Lonnie Myers took over from Kindsfather. Myers threw a wild pitch that let Elliott come home. Smith scored on an in field out. Sacramento and Portland went through 18 innings of baseball, Sacramento winning the first game, 6-3, and the nightcap 6-1. The Sacs put on three-run out bursts in the third and fifth in nings of the opener. Red Adams, who started for Portland, didn't have his stuff and gave way to Earl Scheib in the third. In the second game pitcher Charlie Schanz set down Portland with only three hits. Sacramento leads the series, two games to one. The Solons cinched the second encounter In the third Inning. Ron King singled and Portland pitcher Bill Boemler walked Schanz. King came home on Hank Schenz' sin gle. There were two more runs when Nanny Fernandez singled and leftfielder Fletcher Robbe let the drive go through him for an error.
