Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1954 H.ERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FAi LS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Spooner j May Be Ball Hero By GAYLE TALBOT MEW YORK (-Unless early re turns are misleading, a throwback to ol' Jay Hanna iDUzy) Dean is about to burst upon the baseball scene in the person of Karl Spoon er, the left-handed young extro vert who reports to the Brooklyn Dodgers next March -1. Tne Kid seems to believe in taniself tue way the great man did when he joined the St. Louis Cardinals 23 years ago. Spooner is the New York state pneeuom who in his first big league start last Sept. 22 struck out 15 Gi ants and practically paralyzed the newly crowned National League champions 3-0. A few days later, to prove it was no accident, he whiffed an even dozen Pittsburgh Pirates. They were a couple cf such strutting, overwhelming per formances as ol' Diz loved to put on lor nis puonc. PREDECESSOR And now the newcomer with the jumping fast ball Is oiling up his tonsils and even talking like his Illustrious predecessor. Recovering from a knee operation which he figures should increase his effec tiveness about SO per cent, he says he doesn't expect to have any trouble at all with Willie Mays of the Giants, who has just been ap pointed the league's Most Valuable Player. He says he has Willie s number. Even in his greatest year, 1934. when he was winning 30 and losing only 7, Dean never stuck his neck out farther. It is on the record, of course, that when Dis announced he was going to cool off a batter, or any number of batters, he al most invariably did so, and laughed at his victims in the pro cess. It remains to be seen wheth er Spooner can similarly back up nis words with deeds. WHIFFED On the day the kid set a new record for strikeouts in a pitcher's first big league game, he faced me mighty Willie only twice. He whiffed Willie the first time, but on the second go-round the Negro star popped a single into ngnt field one of the three hits the Gi ants collected off the freshman wonder. After that, Willie retired for the day. In fact, to put Spooner's dazzling feat into proper perspective, it probably should be noted that only a handful of Giant regulars went all the way that day. They were only 48 hours past their victoiy celebration, and some of them were not feeling too sporty. Man ager Leo Durocher, being the kind ly, considerate fellow that he is, used his second string freely. Billy Gardner, stiff from months on tne bench, struck out three times, for example.

Frick disclosed yesterday he was holding up approval of Kiner's con tract in which the slugging out fielder volunteered to take a salary cut above the 25 per cent limit. Kiner, who received a reported $65,000 with the Chicago Cubs last season, was traded to Cleveland last month. Figuring his poor sea son with the Cubs entitled him to no more than 140.000 for next year, he signed his new contract witn the Indians Tuesday. Kiner insisted he was- setting no precedent In taking an unusual cut oi approximately 40 per cent. Reports persisted, however, that other players would disapprove such a procedure, figuring a dan gerous precedent would be set. In Pittsburgh, Kiner said he still didn't see anything wrong with the contract, but If Frick wanted him to sign a new contract, he would abide. The new contract presuma bly would be around $49,000 on the basis of a 25 per cent cut. Old OfQeva Idilh The Sportsman By CLAYTON" HANNON THAT TIME has arrived, or so it seems, when the migratory bird shooting comes to a slowing pace. and what birds there are in the country seem to be living the "Life of Riley," with very few hunters seeking to do them harm. From all the weekly reports there are still plenty of birds in the area, but not too many hunters to keep them moving, and what hunters there are haven't seemed to be making a large kill. Many hunters have already paegked away their scatterguns for another season, and probably they are the wiser, while others, who will keep seeking out good hunting until January 3. Langell Valley still seems to be the best spot In this Basin, al' though it too has its poor days, The overall picture again looks spotty, but some birds should be taken, despite the clear and col a weather conditions. Some hunters have been picking up some fair to good duck shoot' ing on the Klamath River below the highway, and in some of the hunting clubs to the South. most BODIES of water are frozen and the mallards and pin tans can be found on the open drainage ditches for those who like to juinp-shoot. Langell Vallev again should be good, especially lor tne pintails or springs. To settle an argument that has been circulating around the Basin for the past week or so, we checked with game enforcement officers for a definite answer. Hunters will have to have a 1955 hunting license to hunt after December 31, The duck stamp is stll lgood. Four arrests were made by members ot the Oregon State Po lice this past week and all four were for angling closed waters. Those arrested were Lincoln Ru dolph Gabriel, 27, of Olene. Frank Gabriel Jr., 28, Olene, Catherine Pearl Parkhurst, 37 Klamath Falls and Frank Gabriel 72, of Olene.

Hodges has taken five of the eight veterans for a Jast-breaklng, quick-shooting team thai will have to hold up. There isn't very much on the bench. "We'll fast break every chance we get," Hodges warns, despile the lack of strong reserves. He has two quick 6-ioot guards to bring down the ball. Bill Bau scher, a Junior, is a trirky dribbler and very fast. Bob Falash, who has won three letters, was fifth in scoring last year. Jim Sather, at 6-4 the tallest man on the first five, has been switched from guard to center. He weighs only 175 but can handle himself on rebounds. THREAT Harlan Melton, a 6-2 senior with a fine ump shot from the key, is the Vandal scoring threat at for ward. He popped in 296 points ;n 23 games last season, second best on the team. Jay Buhler, the fleet ex-football halfback, is at the other forward. He made only eight points all last year in seven games but has been hitting well now. Don Monson, a 6-2 forward who won three letters, looks like the best of the reserves. The others include Jay Webb, 5-11 sopho more; Carl Swanstrom, a 6-6 junior center: Bud Nelson, 6-3 guard, and John Sullivan, the 5-11 football end. It's only an average team that isn't likely to make much noise in the conference. But Hodges has some potentially powerful ele ments in the biggest, highest scoring freshman club Idaho has ever had. The feeling here is a big boom's coming after a possible plop. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BASEBALL NEW YORK Willie Mays, sensational outfielder with the New York Giants, was selected the National League's most valu able player of 1954 with Cincin nati's Ted Kluszewski second in the voting. NEW YORK Commissioner Ford Frick said he was holding up approval of Ralph Kiner's 1955 contract with the Cleveland In dians which calls for a salary cut In excess of the 25 per cent limit and probably will ask Kiner to sign a new pact.

Chairman Tony Entenza of the California Athletic Commission late yesterday rejected Ranter's contention the lb-round title light ending in a TKO of Langlois In the 11th Wednesday night, should be declared a draw. He imposed a two-week suspen sion on Kanter and demanded a written apology from the New York agent because ol the latter's charges the fight was stopped as a result of Langlois being butted so badly the Frenchman's eyelid was spilt open. California's new "butt rule" reads that if a fiBiiiei is leading on points when a tight is stopped because of an injury caused by butting, he receives the decision? if he is trailing on points and but ting causes an end to the fight he gels a draw. The referee stopped the Olson Langlois fight in 68 seconds of the 11th round because of a deep gah over Pierre's left eyelid. Don shields, former fight commission inspector, said movies showed Ol son opened the cut with a long right hand punch in the six:h round.
