PAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1954 Hollywood Into Coast Stars League Back Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Hollywood Stars are In that familiar spot, atop the Pacific Coast League standings, by way tit a wild set-to with the Los An. teles Angels and what Sacramento did to second-nlace San Diego. The Stars, tied with San Diego alter Friday night's game and a hall game ahead as they won Bat urday while the Padres were idle, dropped two percentage points be. hind Sunday, or a brief time, as ihcy lost the first game to Los Angeles. 4-0. But the Stars came back to take the nighlcap, which had many ele-. ments like a bar-room ornwi, j-i, and then Sacramento whacked (an Diego twice Sunday night, 13. and 3-0. This put Hollywood out. front by 1 i games. Thev have been in front since May 20. except for the weekend goings-on. In the other Sunday games Oak Innd won the first from Sun Fran Cisco 6-1, but the Seals , took the nightcap 14-2. Seattle and Port liiiid also split, Seattle winning the first 7-6 and the Beavers tne sec ond, 5-3. At Wrlgley Field Bubba Church pitched a two-hitter for the An yels' victory. His mates got 11 hits off three Hollywood hurlers. This was all baseball. In the nightcap, won by Mel Queen with Bob Spicer the loser, each side got only four lilts but there was comparatively little else resembling baseball. The repeated ruckuses started in the fourth inning when Holly ' wood's Tom Salfel was ejected for debating a called pitch. Saf frll, howver, went to his center- field post in the last half and had to be tossed out all over again. A moment later Umpire Jerry Van Keuren asked to inspect the ball. Hollywood pilcher George O'Donnell threw it to the plate but catcher Jim Mungan let it sail past. Van Keuren thumbed Man- gan out. with a push to help mrp along. The Stars stormed afield, and fans sailed cushions from the stands. In the Hollywood half of the sev enth, with the score 1-1, two on base and one out, Eddie Malone raised a pop foul near the box seat railing. Los Angeles catcher Al Evans appeared to be about to crab It when a fan deflected the bull. Van Keuren ruled Malone out, nd pandemonium broke out. Hol lywood Manager Bobby Bragan, suspended briefly last week lor rowing with an umpire, protested the game, arguing until ne, .too was thrown out. Before departing Bragan doffed his cap and bowed lrom the waist to van Keuren. The boos and cheers were thun. derous. Cushions and even one chair sailed from the stands Meantime, police reinforcements appeared. Finally, pinch-h 1 1 1 e r Jack, Lohrke singled In tne winning run. There was a final cushlor game ended, but no further dls turbance. Sacramento clubbed San Diego In their first game as the teams together belled out 28 hits and live home runs. In the nightcap Rex Jones gave the Padres only two hits In his shutout. Jim Marshall's two homers, scoring five runs, propelled Oak land to its win. while in the nightcap San Francisco smashed five Oak pitchers lor 17 hits. For Seattle Herm Reich whacked three doubles and drove in the winning runs In the eighth of the opener. Portland won the nightcap, sched uled for seven innings but tied niter the sixlh. in the ninth when Walt Judnich doubled, driving in two runs. Westhouse's Double Gives Eldorado Win The Eldorado Lumberjacks bounced back from a certain de feat by Tulelake into the winner's chair as they produced a ninth inning rally for a 14-13 win in their season's final game at Rec reation Park yesterday afternoon The Lumberjacks were trailing by a 13-12 count going into their half of the ninth Inning. Irv Whitt, who has been a big slick for the lumbermen all season, slammed out a game tying home run to open the Inning and Fran Miller kep the rally alive with a single. With one away and Miller on first, Art Raymond banged out a double sending Miller to third, setting the stage for the Lumber- Jacks' deciding blow. Art westnouse, tne scrappy in- lie catcher from Oregon Tech, promptly tagged the Tulelake pitching for another double and the winning run for tne Eldorado club. Both teams had big innings, with Tulelake coming from behind in the first of the sixth with a five run uprising against the Lumber jacks. The fifth inning also produced a five run rally, this time for the home standings Eldorado ' nine. Whitt and Miller started the in ning off with singles and Dick Lundsten gained first base after being hit by a pitched Dan. Art Raymond singled home one run, and two more were account ed for when Westnouse connected for another two base safety. The final two runs of the Inning came on Pat Williams' single and Willie Dunster's sacrifice fly. A two run first inning and four more tallies In the second gave Tulelake a 6-4 lead after two full Innings ol play, but the five run tilth Inning for the Lumberjacks wiped out the visiting team's lead. Home runs by HI Hatfield and Whitt in the first Inning accounted for the initial frame's runs, while the second Inning tallies came on five walks, an. error and Whitt's single. Whitt led the Lumberjack's hit ting attack as the big first base man collected five hits in six times at the plate, including two heme runs. Art Raymond banged out three safeties in five times at bat, while Miller had a perfect three for three day at the plate. Besides Whitt's home runs, Ray mond and Hatfield hit for the cir cuit. Fred Taylor led the Tulelake Utack with four safeties in seven official times at bat. BOXSCORE R H E Tulelake 13 13 3 Lumberjacks 14 18 6 Bradford. Marsh Azeveda and Azeveda.

The 30-year-old Scot moved to the outfield for the first time this year alter nis pinch running chore, and his two-run homer in the seventh snapped a 6-6 tie. The Braves went on to defeat the Cubs "The home run gave me a ter- rifle thrill," he said, "almost as great as tne one I hit that won the 1951 pennant for the New York Giants. Not so much because It helped win the game, but because it made me feel for the first time like I belonged. "it's difficult to describe the lift It gave me. You have no idea how I felt sitting around helpless all year, watching the other fellows batting every day and wishing I could help but knowing all the time I couldn't do anything. It's Sllrh. fl. IISPlpCS ft-llctrao4 faatinr- Nobody realizes better than I do that the Braves gave up two fine pitchers for me only to have me break a leg and become useless to the club all season. Until yesterday, Thomson ap peared m 14 games, all in the role o! pinch hitter. Five times he came through with a hit and twice he walked. His left ankle still is heavily taped, but most of the stiffness is gone. Bousman Winner Of Wild Main Allen Bousman came ftom no where in the main event of last night's hardtop racing program at Gem' Speedway to cop the number one spot of the evening's A-main in one of the most spectacular fin ishes seen at the local track. The hardtop racing fans were witnessing a good race between Al Rossi In K-42, Neil Mayfield in K-14 and Benny Morrison in K-8 in the late stages of the 25 lap event, when the entire race blew sky high. Morrison was washed over ihe embankment, while Rossi, who had led almost all the way, became en tangled with Mayfield and Jerry Johnson on the last corner before the checkered flag. With all the last minute excite ment, Bousman crept from out of nowhere to snare the evening's main event win and his third of the season. Rossi continued on af ter his tangle with Mayfield and took second place, while Dale Him- elwrlght was third. ' Dave Vincent thundered his K-17 hardtop into the winner's circle of the program s B-maln ahead of Ken Conner, Jim Barrett and Herb Schultz. In the evening's trophy dash, Rossi picked up the trophy after winning out over Benny Morrison, Jerry Johnson and Jerry Barlow in the four lap event. Himelwrigiht walked off with the final heat prize money as he j uippea up Benny Morrison, who placed second and Bud Cook, third place finisher, lor the two lap win. In the four heat races, Johnson. Morrison, Rossi and Barlow took the first place honors, while Cook, Himelwright, Mayfield and Wes Owens were runnersup. Third place in the four 10 lap events went to Matt Christian, Bob Craw ley, Bousman and Wes Bishop in mat order. According to Bob Crawley, pres ident oi tne Klamath Falls Hard top Racing Association, the speed way track will be watered down every day this week in an attempt to put a stop to the dry and hard track surface that cause the ter lible dust problem. Another change that the local association might put into effect is the changing of the time trials to conform with the style of trials that Medford uses. This would be have each driver take one lap and then when the field has completed its one lap, work around the en tire bunch again, only this time start with the last car and work to the first. Also announced by the associa tion and Track Manager Jack Lutz is the Powder Puff derby that will be held as an extra special part of the next week's racing program. This is ,the first one scheduled this season. At last Friday night's hardtop drivers meeting, Sam Neslin, ex track manager, was given a letter of appreciation by the drivers for his work towards making hardtop racing what it is today. Neslin has been track manager for the past three seasons, and with his help the sport has grown from hardly nothing into the largest racing program In South ern Oregon and Northern Callfor-nia.
