TUESDAY, AUGUST 17. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Bill's Place Cops Berth In State Softball Tournament Bill's Place gamed a berth in the Men's Softball State Tourna ment that gets underway this Sat urday afternoon at Bend, by tak ing their second straight game from Medford, as they handed the valley team, an 8-2 whipping at Conger Field labt night. Faced by a two hit pitching job by Cal Bonney, Bill's tied the game in the bottom of the first inning with a single tally on Cecil Hen dricks' single to open the inning, two infield outs and a wild pitch. Medford's two hits and one run came in the first inning, combined with a walk gave the Medford nine the only scoring action that they had all night. After the first in ning, Bonney didn't allow a single base hit and only four baserun ners were used by Medford in the final six innings. Leroy Coleman walked in the third inning, and advanced to third on another free pass and a fielder's choice. With two outs chalked against Bill's Place, Coleman scored on another wild pitch to break the 1-1 tie. fn the last half of the fourth, Bill's again took advantage of Med ford s mlsplays to score three runs without a hit. Two hit batsman, an error, a fielder's choice and an infield out supplied the breaks for the four run outburst. Bill's put the finishing touches on the scoring with another three run inning in the fifth frame of the ball game. Rex Yrfung was safe on an error while Bonney and Jim Derrah added back to back singles to load the bases with none away. Roy Harris popped up to the sec ond baseman who dropped the ball, and with the help of a couple of errors and Medford misplays all three runners scored, but Harris was called out as the infield fly rule was in effect. Medford capped the evening's scoring with a single run in the top of the seventh inning on two walks and a couple of passed balls. Bill's Place was limited to three singles by Medford's Brittsan, but took advantage of misplays and er rors to find the range for the vic tory. Hendricks, Bonney and Der rah were the only Klamath soft ballers to hit safely. Boxscore R II Medford ' 2 2 5 Bill's Place 8 3 1 Brittsan and McKeckonle; Bon ney and Cada, Derrah, Harris.

Sao (Dcwhf Salesman For YOUR BUICK DEALER VINDE JIM CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Diamond Experts Picking Milwaukee By GAV'LE TALBOT NEW YORK Wi One returns to the workaday world after a period of earnest idleness to learn, with some surprise, that the vast ma jority of local baseball analysts consider the Giants to be dead, ab solutely, and are equally certain that the Milwaukee Braves will be the National League entry in the World Series. The Brooklyn Dodgers, say this city s deepest thinking savants. probably have enough bottom to make the Braves realize they are in a race, especially since young Billy Loes turned into a winning pitcher. But the Giants, they claim after careful inspection, have made their run and now are gasp ing like a boated flounder. They say they cannot recall hav ing seen an apparently sound and seemingly inspired team come apart as completely as the Polo Grounders have In the past live weeks, and especially in their four straight losses to the Braves and three straight to the Dodgers. One Journalistic gumshoe reports that the players now are grumb ling about Leo Durocher's "bad guesses," and declares there is no possibility of Leo being back next year, even if he pulls the club out of its current skid. This latter could have much sub stance, for Durocher and his boss, Horace Stoneham, were exchang ing glares early in the season, be fore Willie Mays and is teammates simmered down again it fs not ex pected that Stoneham will Issue any ringing votes of confidence in bis pilot. - Prom June 3 through July 9. while the Giants were winning 32 out of 38 and there was talk of msociirinir Mavs for an individual shrine, their pitchers allowed the romarkablv low average of 2.9 runs per game. From July 10 to this sad day, a period in which Boucher Leads Roseburq Open Golf Tournament ROSEBURG. Ore. (IP) Tom Boucher, Washington State Open champion from Seattle, carried a tvn.trnkc lead into the second qualifying round of the annual Roseburg Open golf tournament here Tuesday. Boucher shot nine birdies Mon day for a 6-under-par 66. Close behind him was Al Zim merman, formerly of Portland and now of Phoenix, Aril., who carded a 68. Bill Eggers, Portland was third with a 69. In fourth place was Al Feldman. TaComa pro, with 70, and Dave Killen, Eugene, was fourth with 71. Five others were tied at par 72. They were Joe Greer, Yakima: Bob Duden, Portland; George Harrington, Medford: Al Mundle, Eugene and Bob Norquist, . Fort land. The entire field of 76 will play 18 holes Tuesday with the low 40 competing in a 36-hole final Wed nesday. BUICK or PHONE 3141 the club won 14 while losing 19, the identical set of throwers has yielded 4.7 runs each time the op position teed oil. To make matters even worse, the hitting has fallen off too, though not to such a painful degree. Consistency Tops Roberts' Pitching Tools BROOKLYN Lf "Consistency," says Robin Roberts, Is how a man wins 20 baseball games in the major leagues. The Philadelphia Phillies right hander is working on his fifth con secutive year as a 20-game win ner. Last night he won No. 18 beating Brooklyn 9-6. It was not one of his better nights. He walked six, four In the first inning, and gave eight hits, but he hung on to finish his 21st game. He's started 29 and lost 10 of these. He looks like a cinch to get 20 this season. "Obviously," he. said, "a man must be consistent Ho win 20 games. He must start often and pitch good ball consistently." Roberts' holds this won-lost re& ord over the past four seasons: 23-16, 28-7, 21-15. 20-11. Carl Hub bell, the New York Giants great left-hander of 15 yeafs ago, was the last National League pitcher to win 20 games five years run ning. Roberts made the majors after 11 games In the minors. He was a bonus boy out of Michigan State College. Talking of the 20-game goal, he said. "I think physical condition is the bie Item If a pitcher Is to win 20. I try and get in the best possible condition ,and then let nature take its course. "Of course, you must have the opportunity of pitching often to win 20," he said. Asked about the skills a pitcher must have to win 20 times a year, Roberts said, "It depends on the individual. Some guys are big and fast." Roberts is listed as 6 feet and 190 pourffls. He throws hard. "The big guys don't need as much," he said. "If your fast ball does something, hops, or takes off, then you have two pitches. I use a fast ball and a curve." Champion In Training For Charles Bout GROSSINGER, N.Y. M Rocky Marciano figures the 15 rounds he hoxed against Ezzarcl Charles June 17 did him more good than 200 rounds in training camp. Conse quently, the heavyweight champ will warm up lor trie sept, is re match with "only" 100 rounds of gym work. "I know it's not practical for the champ to fight more than once or twice a year." he said. "But I felt the best when I was going steady every month or so, like 1951 when I boxed seven times." Apparently Manager Al Weill. and trainer Charley Goldman ex pect Charles, the ex-champ, to sprint 15 rounds in his third Old to win back the title he lost to Jersey Joe walcott. They have brought in Joe Gannon, a fast stepping Washington, D.C., boy for Rocky to chase. Already down to 191 pounds, a.1 compared to 187'i for his last bout, the champ still works about four hours a day. He goes on the load in the morning and boxes five days a week. According to Goldman, the champ is working on his old payoff punch the right hand. He con centrated on the left hand in his prefight work for the first Charles fight. Maybe he worked too much with the left. In any event, he is out for the knockout this time and the right hand is the KO weapon that flattened Walcott twice.

MISS CLEARANCE GUN STORE 714 Main Ph. 3863 Dodgers' Chance For Tie Blasted By BEN' PHLEGAR Associated Press Sportswrlter The Philadelphia Phils, last team outside the New York area to win a National League pennant, get a chance tonight to show whether they're playing favorites in the 1934 flag chase. They move across the river from Bragan Loses Appeal By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hollywood's manager Bobby Bragan, has lost his bid for re instatement from the indefinite suspension Pacific Coast League President Clarence Rowland im posed on him Sunday but there are indications Bragan will be back at the helm soon, perhaps later 'this week. Bragan was suspended for using abusive language and threatening umpire Francis Walsh in last Sat urday's game between Hollywood and San Diego, and Hollywood president Bob Cobb requested a hearing Monday. Walsh and two other umpires who worked the game, Chris Va lenti and Al Sommers; Bragan, Hollywood third baseman Jack Phillips and Rowland took part in the conference, after which Row land told newspapermen: "I think Bragan and Phillips nave a iiiucu clearer uiiuersinua- B e uuuc3 UI uminies auu tneir importance to oaseoau. 1 was much pleased with the attitude of all parties at this meeting. How ever, Bragan remains under indef inite suspension while I continue to keep the case under considera tion. I want to make this clear. Bragan Is still all out for base ball. I am sure 'ne does not want to do anything to hurt the game." Bragan wa3 sm'Ung when he emerged from the meeting and said he hoped to return soon to goud standing. Pitcher coach Gor don Maltzbcrgef will handle the team during Bragans absence. The Stars meet Sacramento Tues day night. ' With 30 games to play, Holly wood has a 1 '2 game margin over San Diego. The Stars have a schedule ad vantage since it plays all Its games In Hollywood and Los An geles until Sept. 2, when the team goes to Seattle for four and Port land for the last five.

WIL Leaders SuSSer Fifth Straight Loss By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS League-1 e a d I n g Lewiston suf fered its fifth straight Western In ternational League setback Mon day night losing to Vancouver, 6-4, in 10 Innings. The victory moved the Caps back into the runnerup spot ahead of Yakima as the Bears dropped 6-1 decision to the Wenatchee Chiefs. Vancouver now trails Lew iston by 3 '2 games. No other games were played Monday night. Vancouver won its game with Lcwi-tton In dramatic fashion. Marv Williams homered with K Chorlton aboard to give the Caps the winning margin in the top of the 10th. The Broncs were almost on their way to tying the game In their half of the inning, but a dis puted out at home and the ejec tion of catcher Clint Cameron put a damper on the budding rally. The row began after Don Hunter doubled with Al Heist on first. Heist came on around, sliding in to home. The catcher dropped the ball, nicked It up and tagged Heist. The umpire called the run ner out and the row began. At Yakima, pitcher Charlie Oubre was almost a one-man show as Wenatchee defeated the home town Benrs. Oubre drove in five of Wenatchee's runs and held the locals to seven scattered hits as he went the route for the Chiefs. He Mapped out a tvo-run double in the fifth and later scored on Pumpsie Green's triple. In the ninth, with the sacks loaded. Oubre '.deed out another double, scorinff three men. The Bears got their only run in Ihe filth on Des Charouhas's sln- Rle. Herm Lewis double and an in Held out. In Tuesday's action, Wenatchee is at Yakima, Vancouver plays doublei --"der at Lewiston and Sa lem is at Edmonton. Ebbets Field to the Polo Grounds for the first of a three-game series with the slump-ridden New York Giantst Last night the Phils did the Giants a big favor by thumping Brooklyn 9-6 when the Dodgers naa a chance to pull within two per centage points of the lead. Instead, the Dodgers headed West to Pitts burgh trailing by a full game with 38 to play. The Giants have beaten the Phils eight out of 10 times so far and they would like to think they could resume the pleasant pastime of winning after losing seven of the last eight to-other clubs. Manager Leo Durocher has picked Johnny Antonelli (17-3) to attempt to halt the skid. The Dodgers had won 12 out of 18 from the Phils up to last night. but they couldn't keep up the pres. sure even though they caught Robin Roberts on what must have been one of his wildest nights tin the majors. The Philadelphia righthaitder walked four men in -the first inning and a total of six in the game. He was charged with a wild pitch and might have been charged with several more except for some acrobatic backstopping by Smoky Burgess. And the Dodgers banged eight solid hits, two of them homers by Pee Wee Reese and Gil Hodges. Despite this, Brooklyn was ahead only once and didn't have a real chance after the fifth. The pitching stuff fell apart. Rookie Bob Dr.n nell, making his first start, couldn't get anybody out in the third. Clem Labine and Preacher Roe got roughed up in the fifth when the Phils put it out of reach on six hits and an error which produced five runs. The Milwaukee Braves, the hot test team in the league, take their nine-game winning streak into a three-game series at home against the St. Louis Cardinals. Twice be fore this year the Braves have won 10 In a row. They trail by 3'i after making up a dozen lengths since July 4. Over in the American League the series to watch is at Cleveland where the Indians, winners of six in a row, play host to the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers were the last to beat them, exactly a week ago when Ned Garver shut them out on five hits. -Although they are well on their way to finishing with the worst av erage ever compiled by a fourth place team, the Tigers may yet have a lot to say about the Ameri can League pennant. - They ouletly. but decisively, end ed the Chicago White Sox' chances with a doubieheader sweep Sunday and tney nave 10 games left with Cleveland, Including tonight. The White Sox still have a math ematical chance, of course, since they have 39 games to play and are 9'j behind. But It would take an unlikely collnpse of both Clcve. land and New York, plus a virtual. ly unbroken whining streak of their own to put the Chlcagoans back in serious contention. Two teams have been eliminated from all pennant hope. Over the weekend the Baltimore Orioles and the Philadelphia Athletics fell more games behind the Indians than they nave icit. to piny. While Cleveland Is busy with the Tigers, the second place New York Yankees, three games back, expect to stretch their seven-game win ning streak at the expense of the Athletics in a scries opening to night in Philadelphia. The Phils-Dodgers game was the only action in the majors last night.
