WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAG3 THIRTEEN fey II- rfe SPIRIT TO BURN . , , Tommy Hurberf, 8, of Cleveland lost both hands under a switch engine when an infant. It hasn't bothered this youngster, however, who shows he can handle a fish ing rod and reel and play golf a step ahead of kids his age. Despite his handicap, he has learned to hit a golf ball over 100 yards. Lopez Finally Inherits Some Of Stengels Luck By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor 1 NEW YORK (NEA) Some one remarked to Al Lopez that he had caught up with Casey Stengel on platooning. "I haven't platooned, said tne manager ot the Iiullans. "I've Just had a lot of success with a little move here and there." "Such as?" "Such as taking out (Sam) Dente switching (Bobby) Avila to shortstop and using (Heinle) Ma teriel at second base to get mme hitting. That was the case when M. eskl hit the three - run homer to give us a clean sweep of the seaion's series in Boston and a four-and-a-half game lead com ing Into Yankee Stadium. "I used (Wally) Westlake in Tight field at Fenway Park be cause he was more likely to take advantage of that short left field wan thin switch-hitting (Dave) Philley. "(Bill) Glynn goes to first base in place of (Vic) Wertz for defer. sive purposes when we are ahead. "Little things like that, but I wouldn't call it Dlatooning." "Maybe you finally have Inher ited some of Casey Stengel s luck, laid one of the writers. "Could be," beamed Senor Lo- PHank Oreenberg cut in to re mind you that with a little help from the outside and a break here and there? the Tribe easily could have won three of the last five pennants. "We were due for a few breaks." said General Manager Oreenberg. "For four years it was mishty frustrating to see the Yankees mop up the Red Sox in the closing days to beat us out. The Red Sox at last gave us a lift by beating the Yankees three straight on their last trip to Boston. "I don't have to tell any baseball man that everything comes your way when you're winning. A club can't do anything right , when it's losing. "We have won numerous games this season under unusual circum stances that in another season easi ly might have gone the other way and left us in the ruck. Coming Into Yankee Stadium for the last Women's Ball Teams Advance In Tournament ORANGE, Calif. Wl The wo men's championship tournament of the American Softball Assn. moves into the quarter-final stag es Wednesday with top games pit ting St. Louis vs. Berkeley, Calif., and Orange vs. Buena Park, Calif. The other quarterfinals in the winners' bracket of this double elimination tournament will be played Thursday. The Olympia Cannerettes ad vanced Tuesday without even suit ing up. The Cannerettes' oppon ents, a Detroit team, failed to make the trip so Olympia won by default (recorded as winning 7-0). The Cannerettes next play Thurs day against the winner of the Lin den, N.J.-Minneapolis game. . ' Ira Hanford was the first ap prentice Jockey ever to win the Kentucky Derby. He won with Bold Venture in 1936. time, we had won 28 games by one run. There was the time Allie Rey nolds and the Yankees had us beaten, 7-0, In the first inning. Then three relief pitchers pitched no hit ball for us until we won in the 10th, 8-7. "Bob Lemon had an eight-ruu lead over the Yankees in the first inning. The first eight men scored, Lemon making the first out, but we had to struggle to win that one, 8-7." When a club wins games like that, Greenberg, the old pro, ad mits he has to suspect it's the In dians' year, but he won't believe it until the last shot has been fired. "No pennant is a cinch," he stressed, "when you have games left with the Yankees and White Sox." It was recalled that Lopez, now ridlnj the crest, wanted to quit a year ago. The Indians were going badly In August, attendance was off. It ap peared as though Lopez would fin ish third, Instead of second for the third straight year. There was no word from Greenberg about next year. Cincinnati beckoned Lopez and the Tampa Tactician, thinking he Lewiston, Vancouver , In Playoff VANCOUVER, B.

Al Lopez is glad he stuck around. Ring Program Slated Tonight By Moose Lodge The local members of the Moose tvill put on their second smoker of the season tonight at the Moose Lodge, with a feature mat c.h pitting Sheriff Murray "Red" Brit- ton against Lew Jones, police chief j of Chiloquin. ! Several outstanding boxers from over the Basin have agreed to meet in tonight's program include ing a bout between Billy Sunday and Monty Montgomery. Other boxers who will be matched for, the ring show are Dualne McDan- iel, Bobby Barney, Freddie Miller and several others. i Starting time is 8:00 and all members and' their wives will be j admitted free, according to a clubj spokesman. . j CORVALLIS HI Wes Ediger, S-foot-2 end, was singled out for praise by Oregon State coach Kip Taylor after Tuesday's football practice session. Ediger, one of the team's co- captains, looked better than ever, Taylor said, in the scrimmage de voted mostly to passing and pass receiving. Throwing to Ediger were quar terbacks Jim Withrow and Bob Clark. Ray Westfall, the Beavers' only other quarterback, missed Tuesday's drill because of a hand injury suffered Monday. EUGENE im Coach Len Casanova held a "closed practice" session Tuesdny as the University of Oregon football team prepared for its Northern Division opener against Idaho. ! "Idaho has new coach in Skip Staley and that means a new of fense and a new defense about which we know nothing. That makes it a lot tougher to make plans for the game," Casanova said. Backlield Coach John McKay praised his ball carriers but said there still were a few weak spots that needed work. SEATTLE Washington's Huskies polished up their kicking game as a major share of Tues day's football drill was spent on punts, punt returns and tries-for-point. The rest of the workout was de voted to a series of pass plays ana some interception drills. Two sophomore tackles scned- uled for first-string duty were on the sidelines, and Coach Johnny Cherberg moved Ray Michanczyk, 230-pound end from Olympic Jun ior College at Bremerton, into a tackle berth to help take up the slack . On the Injured list were sopho mores George strugar of Renton and BUI Till of Walla Wnlla. By BE PHI.RGAR AP Sports Writer The world champion New York Yankees go West today, fiarring miracles, they will be ex-champs by the time they get home. Not since the last century has a band of Yankees headed into In dian territory with such a faint chance of survival. The Yankees play 11 of their remaining 1? games on this tour of Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia. They now trail Cleveland by 414 lengths. While the Yankee covered wagon grinds around the circuit for the Inst time, the Indians will be hap pily ensconced in their wigwam on the banks of the sky blue waters, clipping off their ioes one by one. Ted Williams Has Chance To Top Hitters NEW YORK 1 Ted Williams probably will win the American League batting championship this season, despite his injury-Inter-ruped start and the prospect he will bat fewer than 400 times. Williams, the "people's choice" as he seeks his fifth title, currently is hitting .358 after 321 at bats. He is well ahead of Cleveland's Bobby Avila, who at .337 is the league leader on the basis of 350 at bats. Alwnvs a stioni SeDtember hit- ter, the Boston Red Sox slugger is surging at a .419 pace this month with ia hit in 31 triDs. At his 1954 rate of 3.3 times at bat and 1.2 hits per game, Ted will finish with 380 at bats and 136 hits. , But here's tile rub. The rule cov- erlng batting titles specifies that a player must oat at leasi time., officially to be considered as the leader. This holds true unless he still has the highest percentage after enough hltless at bats have been tacked onto his total to make 400. In Wllllnms' case, it would mean he would be charged with 20 times at bat, making his year's recora rend: "at bats 400: hits 138; av- erage .340." Of course, there is the possibility that Avila or Irv Noren of the New York Yankees, in third place at .333, will beat him out. The big battle, which might go Indians, the Milwaukee Braves, neads East in a lightning foray after the National League title. The best road club in either league, the Braves open their 12 game tour in Pittsburgh trailing the league-leading New York Gi ants by 4'i games with 19 to play. The trip Includes Friday and Saturday games against the Brook lyn Dodgers, who are In third place and still are trying to find out how it happened, and a three game set next week in the Polo Grounds starting Tuesday night. The Oiants picked up an Impor tant half . game last night In an 11-lnnlng thriller at Philadelphia, where they shaded the Phillies 8-1. Only one other game was played In the majors. Washington edged Philadelphia 5-4 before a gathering of 460 fans, the smallest crowd ever to attend a game at Washing ton's Griffith Stadium. Monte Irvln followed two walks with a double to the right field fence for two New York runs in the lith. Davey Williams walked to start the inning and moved to sec- down In history as Casey's Last Stand, is set for Sunday when the Yankee caravan reaches Cleve land for a double-header. ' The Yankees can't be eliminated positively until after that engage ment. Manager Stengel Is gambling right al the start with Tommj Byrne tonight In Baltimore, which according to American League georgraphy Is West. A wild man in his previous stints in the majors, Byrne was bought from Seattle last week In a desperation move. Tonight Is his first start.
