FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE Night Racing Action Planned This Evening Night racing returns to KUmiUi Speedway tonight as hardtop driv ers open their throttles wide (or another action packed oval pro gram. Time trials are set for 7 o'clock and the first event is sched uled for 8 o'clock. Club president Benny Morrison said this week that the track'a complete overhaul and better rac ing Is In store for Basin speed fans. - Earlier in the season a try was given at night races, but because of the inadequate lighting, it didn't prove to be successful. But Morri son thinks that the past week's work on the lights will help the situation a great deal. Going Into the evening program Lopez Sees Indian Flag With 95 Wins By ORLO ROBERTSON NEW YORK Itf Al Lopei, with his Indians c.oser to first place than any time since May 20 when they occupied the top spot in the American League, will be satisfied if the Tribe wins 98 games. He thinks that will keep the pennant in Cleveland. "And If you really press me I will admit there's more than fair chance we can do it with 85, said the Cleveland manager after taking a 6-3 decision from the New York Yankees and moving within two percentage points of the front running Chicago White Sox. To reach 98 victories, 13 under their league record of 111 hung up in winning the 1954 flag, the Indians would need to take 34 of their remaining 48 games. That's a .708 pace, considerably faster than the .645 gait they've been traveling since July 4. The White Sox, who have a .635 average since Independence Day, would have to win 35 of their re maining 50 to hit 98 triumphs on the head. The Yanks would need 35 wins and the Red Sox 36 in their remaining 48. One thing that made Lopez a little more confident today after beating the Yanks two out of three and heading for Washington is the hitting of Al Rosen. Before yesterday's game Lopez admitted he didn't have the an swer for why such players as Rosen, Larry Doby and Bobby The Indians left 11 on the sacks but Lopez felt a little better Rosen and Avila started hitting. Avila, batting .262 compared to his league-leading .341 last year, connected with a double. Rosen, who hit an even .300 in 1954, lifted his average six percentage points to .254 as he came through with luur singles in as many times at bat. Allen Bousman still holds his lead In the race for top point honors, but bis arch rival Bob Crawley is also making a strong bid. Bous man ran his total to 447 counters, while Crawley slipped to third place on the ladder with a 402 showing. Ray Brackman still holds to second spot with his 427 count ers. Dale Hankins, who i out for the season slid from third position to fourth with his 378 total. In the fifth spot is Dave Vincent with 366. while Glen Stevens is next with a 357 total. The 346 point output of George Smith holds seventh posi tion. - Rounding out the top ten are Dale Himelwright with 338, Pee Wee Roufs with 305 and Don Har ris with 304 counters. In eleventh spot, or number 10 if Hankins is ruled out after an early season accident, Is Ken Kime with 259. A newcomer to the main event winner's circle was recognized last Sunday when Benny Morrison picked up the honors. Morrison, will be making his bid for number two tonight. Drivers who have already won two or more mains include Allen Bousman with four wins. Crawley with three and Brackman with two. Tonight's racing program will in clude three heat races, the final heat, two trophy dashes of lour laps apiece, the B-main. A-main and a special race of some sort if time prevails. Tickets are si for adults and 50 cents for students. Children under 6 will be admitted free of charge to the thrill and spill program GN, Merrill . Pony Winners Merrill still is running in high gear in Pony League baseball play after last night's play at Con ger Field, but their Southern Ba sin neighbors Malin found the go ing on the rough side. The Merrill ballclub battled Tule lake to a 6-2 decision behind the four hit pitching of John Hunnicutt. In the other game, Great North ern's Jimmy Ray tossed a four hit shut out at Malin as the rail roaders picked up a 7-0 win. In the only Midget softball game played last night at Conger, the Moose Midgets found the Covenant Church for a 13-1 triumpn. Saturday Work Party Planned For Stadium City Recreation Director Bob Bonnev issued a call for help to day as his department seeks to clean up the odds and ends at Gem Stadium Saturday. Bonncy said a work party would be formed Saturday morning and afternoon to do the "brooming" out of the ball park stands.

Buttling to retain the top berth in the Pacific Coast League, the Rainiers have forced half a dozen games into extra innings in recent weeks, only to blow them in the overtime.

In an editorial in Us August is yue. the publication says that the Little League system is of dubious value as a means of preventing Juvenile delinquency. It continued: "Little boys are put under con siderable pressure to work rather than play several hours a day at learning and exhibiting skills for which, in most cases, their stage of development does not equip them. "But Papa and often Mamma too have made it crystal clear to him that he must 'make the team or 'stay on the team. . . ' on penalty of losing their affec tion and esteem." The editorial states that due to the 'time when games are played junior frequently doesn't get to eat a well-balanced meal with the rest of the family but instead "cats peanut-butter sandwiches by him self at 8 o'clock each night. "Who. if anyone, will benefit,' the editorial asks, "other than the type of man who buys his son a catcher's mitt and mask before his wife has been released from the maternity ward at the hospitul?" Bend, Rosebuds KF Foes . . . Subs Basin-ettes Await Tilts ques and Ed Mickelson accounted for the Beavers' only earned tally. Bill Serena homered for the Seals.

Tonight's Ball Fare MEN'S SOFTBALL at Conger Field 6:30 Elks vs. Armory Tavern 8.00 Suburban vs. VFW PEE WEE SOFTBALL AMERICAN LEAGUE at Kiwanls Park 6:30 Jnycees vs. Juckelnnd's 6:30 Robert's Hardware vs. M. L. Johnson PEE WEE SOFTBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE at Conger Field 6:30 YMCA vs. Pelican Drive Inn (last of regular scheduled games) Both men's and women's Softball takes over the center stage this weekend as Suburban seeks a berth in the state men's tournament when they meet Bend, and the Klamath Basin-ettes host Roseburg in a pre-tourney warmup for the women's tournament to be held here starting next Thursday. Suburban and Bend will meet in a best of three series and the right to enter the state playoffs at Eu gene. The first game of the series will be played at Conger Field Saturday night at 8 o'clock and the second game Is called for Sunday afternoon at Bend. In case a third game is necessary, it too will be played Sunday in the Cen tral Oregon town. The Basin-ettes, defending slate champions, try to untrack them selves from the dismal showing made so far this year as they host the Rosebuds from Roseburg in a Sunday afternoon game also on the Conger Field diamonds. Game time for the KF-Roseburg battle has been set for 1 o'clock. FREE PASS Bend Is reportedly a very strong team and must, be given the roll as favorites as one of the two teams awaits a free pass to the 1955 state championships. Last year Bend finished second best in the state tournaments and since that time have acquired another two or three outstanding ball play ers who should add more balance to their club. Manager Norm Guyer of Sub urban has a well rounded team of his own. which makes for an in teresting showdown between the two teams. Chuck Ruff will prob ably get Guyer's call for mound duties in the Saturday night game with Al Van Ordcn working behind the plate in place of injured Ki Carrier, who is out with a badly sprained and bruised thumb. Ruff so far this year has served up five no-hit no-run ball games and could be a tough obstacle for the Invading Benders to overcome if he has "another good night." BASE HITS The remainder of the starting lineup for the Subs will probably find Roy Harris at first, Raipn Beard at second. Bill Rcisingcr shoife'top and Chilli Mitchell at third. In the outfield Dick Young. Jim Brown and Corky Stevens will be working from left to right pa trolling the outer defenses against Bend base hits. Other possible starters according to Guyer are Gus Oestvang. Leroy Coleman, Dan Derrah. Mel Em mons, Chuck Richardson and Max Revls. So far this year the Suburban softballers have built a record of 20-3. Their league mark stands at 16-2. WE GIVE S&H GREEN STAMPS Farmer's Y Implement Mcrrill-Lakcview Jet.

Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock the picture switches to the "weaker sex" style of softball as the women take the Conger diamond in what could rightfully be called a tournament warm up. Both the Basin-ettes and the j Rosebuds are entered in the 1855 state iilavolfs August 11-14. But if the two teams are going to meet in the four day tourney Uicy will have to fight their way into the , finals because they are in dilferent j brackets. ' SAME LINKUP , Coach Ken Carrier and Manager Bob Mnlhis will probably open with just about the same lineup they i used last weekend against Rogue River, another state tournament entry. The two changes find Carrier opening with Pat Barron on the mound and Bcrnadctte Mathts working at second base. Other than these two switches, the Jineup will be the same. Bev Lloyd gets the first base spot. Sandy Barron al shortstop and Sherry Larson will open at third. In the outfield. Ruth Haget-, stein. Darleno Gordon Perry and Maxine Johanson get the first call, i with Nancy Chaso also ready for ; outfield dutv. The catching chores will be handled by all-stater Teddy Walker. Veteran piieher Mickey Hayman may be used by the Basin ette strategy board, but Carrier and Matliis will probably use her as little as possible because of a broken finger on her pitching hand. Hayman suffered the fracturo in the first Glno's - Oregon Woolen plavoff game last Monday evening. Willi a little luck "Mick" will be In top form by state tournament time.
