HERALD ANT) NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. AUGUST 21. 1955 Casey Nominated For Manager Of Year If Yankees Br JACK CUDDT ; I'nited J'rnu Sporu Writer ' NEW YORK (UP) II these ' ragmuffin Yankees on scramble home in front, then Casey Stengel (should not only be the manager of the year but of the decade. They're one of the strangest col lections of players ever to wear the famed pin-striped flannels tht once adorned such hallowed mus cle men as Babe Ruth, Lou Geh rig, and Joe DiMaggio. But don't bet that wily old Stengel, a double talker but a straight thinker, won't bring another pennant to Yankee Stadium, Ins sixth in seven years. But just look at his cast of char acters and we do mean char acters. He has only two hitters batting over .300, center fielder Mickey Mantle at .310 and part lime first baseman Bill Skowron at .322. The club has a collective bat ting average of .257. And there are only two men in the starting line tip. Yogi Berra, the indestructible catcher and Mantle, who could make the first team In an Ameri can league All-Star aggregation. But Just look at I lie kind of '"power" that Stcng"! has to senci up to the plate, day alter day. in these critical games, elsewhere In his lineup. bKT AT FIRST He is okay at llrst base olfen sively as long as Skowron is in. but the big moose from Purdue is no gazelle boy In trie Held, par. ticulnrly since he suffered a se verely pulled muscle earlir this season. That means in a tight game Stengel may prefer to go with Joe Collins, a superior field er, but a .'lit flitter. Or for a long ball "threat," Eddie Robinson at ,199. Things are a little better at sec ond where Oil McDougald has a Tespectable .286 average and blasts an occasional long ball. But ' Marty Marion at Chicago would rather have his little pluggcr, Nel lie Fox, and Cleveland's Al Lopez still Insists his Bobby Avlla Is the best second sacker around. The star of many other Yankee pennant campaigns, little Phil Ris zuto, still Is trying to hold down the first string shortstop post, but he'll be the first to tell you that things just aren't the same with him any more. He has lost much of his speed and coordination, his arm isn't strong any more and lie's batting a. puny .347, Jerry Coleman, his side kick who Coast League Teams May Not Be Wanted 9 lVf BAL WOOD tmMed Free S porta Writer " BAN FRANCISCO UP With ; ail the hullabaloo about San Fran , oleeo, NoDywood, Oakland and -or aoranento moving to a new city to got an attendance atoot-ln-the arm, there 1mm been no concrete vMenoe iratt trie franchise from th warning Faoiflo Coast League are wanted eiaewhere. "We've never bad a concrete Mer to take over a franchise from anr arty," says TCL Presi dent Claire Ooedwin. Ben Foote, a Journalist repre senting the Oaeette in Phoenix, Ariz., currently Is vacationing on the West Conet, and he agrees that Phoenix has made no bids. Phoenix Is one of the cities being mentioned as the possible site for Hollywood when that elub loses its ball park after next year, NO ORGANISED MOVE "I'm sure the fans In Phoenix would like to see Pacilic Coast League baseball," said Foote. "But there is no organized move in Phoenix to get a PCL fran chise." Hnwcver, with the shilling of populations In the West, it is ob vious that Phoenix has outgrown the Arizona-New Mexico League, a Class C loop. "There are nearly 500.000 per sons in Maricopa Counlv," says .Foote, "and wo have nearly as many persons In the Phoenix trade area 266.000 as there Is In all the rest of the league pul together." Last year Uie Phoenix li'ain. winning the pennant, drew 114.000 lans. Hnwcver, in 10.i3 when It finished last, only 49.000 paid their way Into the bull park. BASI HALI.

Southern Cal Log With Grid LOS ANGELES IUP) South ern Calilornia's Trojans, well stocked with 24 returning lettermen and three outstanding sophomores, can make things mighty tough in and out of the Pacific coast con fcrence this season if the tackles develop. Aside from that position, Coach Jess Hill's squad looks fast and oxDericnced. Jon Arnett, one of the speediest ball carriers In the country. Is re turning to handle the left halfback spot which he divided last year with the senior Aramis Dandoy. Quarterback- Ed Contralto is back for his third year oi varsity oan, Five lettermen are returning to battle for end positions and the guards are in the capable hands of Orlando Ferrante and Chuck Galll. Two of Hill's three outstanding sophs may break into the first string backiicld. Don Hickman, who stands only five feet 10 and weighs 170, has been Impressive at right half and also Is tabbed as number two left half behind Arnett. The other ambitious soph Is 210 pound C. R. Roberts, deceptively fast, who may give the veteran nine games In Phoenix, all In the daytime, and drew an average of about 4.000 people per game says Foote. "The biggest crowd we ever had for a baseball game was In 1949 between the New York O 1 a n t a and Cleveland Indians, That one drew 9,025." However, league games are played at night time and with the perfect Phoenix night - time cli mate. It is obvious that the sport would prove popular for out-doors people there. What makes Phoenix attractive to PCL moguls is the fact it is only 300 airline miles from either San Diego or Los Angeles which would be closer to the Southern California cities than any other city now in the loop. Palmer Wins Canada Title TORONTO 11 Arnold Palmer. who deserted the sunon pure ranks a year ago after winning the 1954 u. B. Amateur title, had his first big pay day as a professional Sat urday as he won the Canadian Open golf title with a near record 205 Uie second lowest score In the 46-year history of the tournament.

He look the lead al the half-way mark and steadily pulled away with sub par perform ances. The 51 1 170-pound son of a La Trube pro beat back Uie closing challengo of Red Hawkins of St. Andrews. 111., and Jackie Burke Jr.. of Kintne.sha Lake, N. Y. to v. in by lour strokes. The only better score ever tuinad hi by a w inner of the Can adian Open was 263 by Johnny rainier oi Baden. N. C. tno rela lion i, who carded a 263 al Winni peg m 1952.

Oakland Sells Gettel To Cards OAKLAND lUPi- The Oakland Oaks today sold Allen Gettel. their number one pitcher, to the St Louis Csiilinuls lor an undisclosed sum ol cash and right-handed hur ler Brooks Lawrence. Gettel left immediately to Join the Cards while Lawrence Is sched uled to arrive in Oakland next week. Gettel. who harbors ambitions to be a cowboy actor, compiled a record of 12-13 this season with the seventh-place Oaks. The sale marked the second lime Oakland President c.

Another backiicld skirmish may whirl around Contratto, who has plenty of quartcrbacking savvy but is being pushed by juniors r.ii3 worlh Kissinger and Frank Hall. Kissinger is the best signal caller of the three and Hall the best passer. The ends are swamped with tal ent. Leon Clarke and Chuck Grit- fifths figure to take over their old 'pots without too much trouble and Trojan tom-tom thumpers alreudy are billing Clarke as All-American timber. Behind them are lettermen Chuck Liembach, Don McParland and Bimr Bordler. The tackle situation Is admitted ly bad with Hill trying to find re placements for Eddie Fouch and Mario Da Re. Sophomore Hann Schmidt may plug up one of the holes with his 237 pounds with George Belotti and Ron Fletcher, who have seen some varsity ac tion, also on hand. Hill is considerably cheered by Ferrante's return to guard. The 198 pound senior, rated in some quarters as one of the nation's best blockers, missed half of last sea son because of a broken ankle. Another casualty in the line is center Marv Goux, who underwent a spinal operation this summer. If he doesn't bounce back, his spot is up for grabs between sophomore Karl Rubke and senior Vern Samp son. The Trojans play a 10 game slate this year, two contests less than in 1954 when they slid into the Rose Bowl with an 8-4 mark ns runnersup In the PCC to UCLA The "no repeal" rule kept ihc Bruins out of the bowl.

The Aussics won the first two sets by 6-2 scores and were leading 40-15 in Uie 12th game of the third set when they defaulted in a sports manlike gesture. For both teams, nervously watching the weather and the fast approaching Aug. 26 Davis cup opening date at Forest Hills, N.Y.. It seemed the only thing they could do. Meanwhile the aggressive com bination of Jerry Moss, St. Peters burg, Fla., and Bill Quillian. Se attle, Wash., stepped forward as strong contenders for the champ ionship by outlasting Italian Davis Cuppers Orlando Sirola and Nicola Pictrangcll In a four-hour, 10-min-ute marathon.

Philadelphia Upsets Lions In Pro Battle Bv HAROLD V. RATI.IFF DALLAS (if) stubby Ted We. gcrt, who bypassed college on the way to professional football, won the glory and Doak Walker, who got a college education, profited linancially Friday night as the Philadelphia Eagles upset the De Unit Lions 14-8. Wegert, a rookie in pro ex-peri ence but a veteran in football he played It four years In the Navy ran the Lions ragged in scoring both touchdowns and keep ing the Eagles unbeaten along the National Professional League ex hibition trail. Ho did It on Doak Walker night in the Cotton Bowl when the for mer Southern Methodist Univer sity All-America and lor five years a star with the pro Lions was hon ored on the occasion of his last game in Texas. It was in this big saucer that Walker played 20 games before crowds totaling 1.058.000. The fans gave him a $10,000 automobile and other things in a half-time cere mony and the Doaker wept as he told them how he appreciated what they'd done for him In his 8-year football career. Walker for the first time failed i score at least one point in a Cotton bowl appearance. Bibbles Bawel. a defensive star for Phila delphia, robbed Walker of that honor when he bounced through to block Doak's try for extra point alter the Detroit touchdown. The contest consisted mostly of defense and was rather sloppily plnyed. But for the irrespressible Wcgert's 83 - yard touchdown run In the second period there were few thrills for the crowd of 48.000. The powerlul runner from River Head, Long Island, who played high school football but left with out getting a diploma and had four vears with Bainbridge Navy, scored the other touchdown In col laboration with Jerry Norton, for mer Southern Methodist star. Nor ton ran a punt back 26 yards to the Detroit 26 and after Don John son had carried to the seven in two tries. Wegert skirted right end for the touchdown. Bobby Walston converted after each Eagle score. A pass from Bobby Layne to Walker tor 23 yards started the Lions rolling lo their touchdown late in the first period. Lew car penter and Bill Stits did most of the work in the 80-ynrd surge witn Rtlts making the score with a 2 ynrd whirl around end. Then came Wegert s 83-yard run to put the Eagles ahead only to lose it iust before the half ended when Adrian Burk. trapped De- hind the goal line by huge Leon Hart, intentionally grounded a pass and It was chalked up as a safety.

Qui 0( CDotuu b)ilh 0 Th q Sportsman The Elusive By AL McCLAXE NKA Fishing Editor Brown trout are a favorite with fly fishermen because they feed to a In rue extent on the surface. They are considered by anglers and scientists as the most difficult species of trout to catch, which in a large measure explains their ability to withstand angling pres sure in populated areas. Lures and live bait of all kinds will take brown trout in one sea son or another, but primarily the brownie is a target for the floating fly. The brown trout was introduced j from Europe and now occupies much of the former range of the ! native brook trout in the more heavily settled portions of the East. Several kinds of brown trout (one from Germany and another from Loch Leven in Scotland, for ex ample) were broupht to America but they have been thoroughly mixed by fish cultural activities. It has been spread fairly widely and is now found in 40 of the 48 states. It was planted In many streams and lakes of the West, where it maintains itself with little subse quent stocking. Ten pound fish are not uncommon in some waters. Under average growing condi tions, brown trout in streams reach a size of about seven inches in two years, and 14 inches in four or five years. The heaviest brown trout on record was caught in Scotland and weighed 39's pounds. Utah, California, New York and Michigan produce the largest brown trout in America, ana aitnoupn many of these fish are taken on lures ranging from wobbling spoons to chunks of processed cheese, the best individual fish, year after year, are taken in Utah on artifi cial flies. Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, Weed, Yreka Vie In Playoff Game DUNSMUIR The Weed Sons and Yieka Indians moved into the President's Cup Playoff series of the Northern California League on Sunday by winning playoff games from Dunsmuir and Tule lake.

Tlie President's Cup tourney will begin on Sunday with the McCloud Loggers host to Yreka and Uie Mount Shasta Eagles host to Weed. As winners are determined on a best two-out-ol-three basts, the schedule will be reversed the fol lowing week with a tossup for the possible third Raines. The winners will meet in another three game set. Yreka won Sunday's game the hard way, piling up four runs m the ninth to nip Tulclake, 7-6. Dunsnuur beat the Weed Sons twice during the season but could n't take the crucial game, bowing to a 15 hit attack, 16-8. In all exhibition game at McCloud on Sundnv, the Loggers trinimed Mount Shasta, 14-5.

A l.'ire crowd of hardtop fans were on hand to sec the weekly speeuwsy ca.'d which included some of the finest racing seen on the speCtWiiy oval ana pull for Mrs. Bender in the big gi' e-a-w ay even;. Hardtop officials placed SI. 000 in a wheelbarrow and the lucky lady, chosen by. a ticket draw, could have all she carried away. When the ' go " sign.il was given Mrs. Bender began scooping the change like a steam shovel working at a g revel pit. In three minutes, which was the lime limit placed on taking the money, Mrs. Bender had more than half of the SI, 000 placed in a big cloth bag. The ne:;t step was to make It back lo the finish line by walking a chalked Hue. About thrco fourths the way to the end of tho line, Mrs. Bender could not hold the bag anv longer and it fell to the ground. She lost all she had scooped up, hut a local drive--nn gave her $10 as a consolation award. It looked for a long time as if the lucky ticket holder would make oil with some of the hard toprvr's loot. But the weight of the money proved to be too much to handle. The moral of the story, the more money the smaller the chance of winning any. In the evening's A-main, John ny HUson came from last place and won the first main event vic tory of the year for K-7. During the season, Hilson has had troubles with his hardtop and .lot until last night's program did he really show the Basin fans the old spark, of the Johnny Hitson who won last year's point race.

At this time Benny Morrison, Bob Crawley and Hitson all be gan to push Cook and finally pass the blue and white car. Morrison held the lead but spun out and from then on out it was Hitson's K-7 with Crawley right behind. In the final count, Hitson came in first, Crawley a close second and Morrison third. Fourth spot went to Olenn Stevens with Pee Wee Routs in fifth position. Ray grnrltmnn wn sixth and Bud Mc Cloud seventh.
