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. Any
one who has a free morning or af
ternoon is asked to join forces so
the stadium will be in tip-top
shape for the coming state wom
en's softball tournament next week.
Members of the men's, women's

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. '

night. Seattle tied Hollywood 2-2

12th, and the Stars moved to with

(last of regular scheduled

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.

bTstopping formation of gum and sludge
It's smart not to wait until your car's engine gets sluggish from gum
and sludge before using Rislonc. Although it's widely used as a cure
for those conditions, Rislone is also widely used as a preventive
to stop them from forming in the first place. In fact, many garages
recommend the use of Rislone as a break-in oil in new and recondi
tioned engines.
Rislone is an oil alloy made to a secret formula that absorbs
gum and disperses sludge in your car's engine. It is the original oil
alloy for all motor oils and it carries a money-back guarantee if
yon cannot eel improvement in your car's performance after ten
miles of driving.
It pays to use Rislone ask for it at your service station, car
dealer's, or garage today.
