TUESDAY, AUGUST 30. 1953 PAGE TW HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, 0RE3ON Top Flight Field Expected For Annual H-N Tournament Th rlnhth annual Herald nd Kews Tennis Tournament opens al Moore Parle Saturday and con tinues over the Labor Day holi day weekend, and from all Indica tions the 1955 tourney will surpass any previous net action held in Klamath Falls Harry Todd, chairman ot the annual Invitational play, said to day he is expecting the largest and the most outstanding field that has ever taken part in the Basin news paper's tournament. The biRgest name on the entry list at the present lime Is Bar bara Bradley from Reno, Nevada. Tennis enthusiasts will remember Barbara from the 1854 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament action. Brad ley entered the Wimbledon meet while on a European tennis tour. Barbara won three matches before dropping one to Louise Brough, nationally known woman net star, who is now favored to win the national singles champion ship from defending champion Doru Hart. Included In her long string of tennis triumphs are wins ever such standouts of the opposite sex as Don Mcpale and Earl Brooks of Klamath Falls, Ellis Williamson of Eureka and Ken Karnes formerly of Klamath now from Redding. Her steady, but powerful pace makes liradley one of the leading netters . In the west, "BIG NAME" Another "big name," but a lit tle entry is pint-sized Pattl Miller ol Portland, who In the last few months has been setting the northwest tennis picture afire Pattl recently won the Northwest Oirl's and the Northwest Junior Women's championships at Walla Walla, Washington. Miller entered In last year's H-N play, but was beaten In the semi-finals by vet eran Kay O'Bryon of Redding, a five tlmo winner in past tourna ments held by the Herald and News. O'Bryon, along with Karnes will be representing Redding in the three day court action. Both are former winners and last year both were In the finals of their respec tive singles matches as well as the mixed doubles division. Portland will be represented by some very outstanding talent with Dr. Bill Davis, Tom Clark, Nat Nickerson and possibly Jack Neer, the Portland University flash, all planning to enter. Neer recently beat Don Johnson of Ban Diego In northwest tennis action. In 1053 Neer teamed with Jim Flynn also fit Portland to win the H-N dou bles crown. BKIGHT 8POT Another bright spot on the list of entries are the names of Les and Alice Wanee of Sacramento. This pair of netters Is near the 50- ycara-of-age bracket, but they swing mean tennis racket. Mrs. Wanee won this summer's Redding Invl tationnl play, and In 1949 was Ihe national senior women's champion. The defending champion John Jiolden of San Francisco will be back on the Moore Park courts when the action opens as will sev eral other top flight netters from the Bay area. Holden's wife, Bar bara will also be entered this year. Tony Stratta, Holden's volley-mate will seek tournament honors, and Is given a. good chance of going all the way.

Dennis Todd, runnerup in the Oregon Junior Chamber of Com merce Tournament this past sum nier, and Jimmy Jackson, now living in Klamath Falls, and hold er of the 1955 Oklahoma high achool title, will all be after Hold en's crown.

The hometowners weren't disap pointed as the Senators won, 3-2, to deny the Chiefs a chance to gain on league-leading Eugene, a 6-5 victim at Tri-City. The loss was the Emeralds first In nine games. Yakima handed Lewiston Its ninth straight defeat, 15-7, to round out the evening's activity. upoKane was idle. The huge crowd at Salem was treated to an evening ol thrills. The Senators Jumped off to a first- inning, 1-0, score, then lost it In the fourth when Chuck Lundgren and Bob Duretto hit back-to-bnek homers for the Chiefs. The Sena tors came right back with two runs in their half of the inning on a triple by Bill Shields and singles by Jack Stcinugle and Mel Krau.se. Veteran hmicr Vein Klndsfnther gave up but six hits as Tri-Clty Kiiappcd Eugene's nine-gnme win streat at Kennewick. Kindsfather had his anxious moments, though. The Braves Jumped off to a 5-0 lead In the first two Innhiss. but a I mast saw It evaporate because of faulty fielding. A home run by Tom Perez in the fifth provided what turned out to be the winning margin It Just wasn't pitcher's night at Lewiston as the Broncs and Yak ima matched muscles in a 33-hit batting spree, with the visitors coming out on top. 20-13. The Bears bolstered nn 8-4 lead with seven additional runs .In the top of the seventh. Each man on the team had a turn at bat as the winners batted out five singles and a double Unit inning. Two Lewis ton errors helped them along. A home run by Bill Douzas with John McNamara on, accounted for two Lewiston runs in the seventh. Tuesday's schedule dittos Mon day's. Yakima Is at Lewiston.

As such he is the product ot a new and vigorously challeng ing branch of the thoroughbred in dustry. CULTURED William Woodward, Jr., Nashua's owner. Is the cultured scion of a long-established banking clan who inherited one of the world's most powerful stables. Rex Ellsworth, the man who owns Swaps, made the journey from log cabin to mansion in Horatio Alger style. "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, Na shua's 81-year-old trainer, is a fix ture of the racing1 world and a master at readying the "big" horses. Meshach Tenney, his rival of Uie paddock, is a one-time Arizona cow puncher you probably never heard of- until this year. Up on the Dude of Belair will be Eddie Arcaro, at 39 still one of Ihe greatest of the little men in silks but a veteran of the old or der. Meanwhile, up on Swaps to carry out the theme of the new era, is 24-year-old Willie Shoemak ernamed by Arcaro asj his heir ujmi cm. There is a hunch here that Na shua, a 7 to 5 second choice in man-to-mnn wagering, will win this one for the days of Auld Lang Syne. SWAPS FAVORITE Everything seemingly favors the speedbull of the Sierras He beat Nashua In the derby, has been posting phenomenal times both in his races and in his workouts, has been on the Chicago scene longer and has been campaigning on the type of hard, fast track over which they will come to grips. The advance theory is that Swaps will go on top when they break Horn the biiricr nud deiy Nashua (o catch him. These are two greiit colls. Swaps has won u 11 eight of his races this year. He passed up the Prcakness and Belmont, both taken by Na shua for an 8 and 1 record marred only by his derby defeat. The question now is whether Nashua, concentrating on one rival, can collar Swaps going down to Uie wire. I think he can.

Leo Durocher Sees Brooks Losing Slump By CARL LUNDQUIST l'niled Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Leo Durocher thinks the Brooklyn Dodgers may snap out of It now and be in just the frame of mind for the World Series. Now. I'm not picking the Dodg ers to win the World Series," the Ginnls manager said. "I don't know enough about the American League teams for that. And, of course, the podgers aren't even In it yet. "But I'll tell you one thing If they make it, I'll sure be pulling for them to win. Just as hard as I pulled for them to lose all season." VF.TliRANS Durocher said he figured the worst may be over now for the slumping league-leaders and that with the cool weather the veterans on the club may get their second wind. Of course, a lot depends upon their big pitchers, Don Newcombe nnd Carl Ersklne," Durocher said. d hate to see them try to make out In the World Series without those two in top shnpe. They could be In real trouble then." The Giants boss, looking back wistfully to his own gloried year of 1954, declared that "we were in just the right shape to play Cleveland In the series both men tally and physically." Ill 1.AXF1) "We clinched about five days be fore the end of the season." he said. "After that we relaxed a couple of days, some of the regu lars Rot a little much-needed rest, and we all had a little fun. Then, the last two games of the season with the Phillies we faced some real tough pitching against Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts. Each game was a close one. each went 11 Minings, and that sharpened us up so thnt we were ready for those tough Cleveland pitchers. "If the Dodgers could clinch In time to get a liule rest and re laxation, then let their regulars play toward the end of Uie sea son, they might be Just right," he said, Calumet Farms set the highest year's earnings lor a thoroughbred stable in 1947 with winnings oi l!.4().,4,ki. UiiVJt Improved UWGrid Year Seen Editor's note This li the eighth In a aeries on the prospet-U of Pacific Coast Conference teams for the 1955 football season.) SEATTLE. Wash.. (UP) Coach Johnny Cherberg of Washington agrees he Is looking for an "im proved" season over last year's which saw his Huskies finish in a tie with Oregon State for last place in the conference. "We could go as high as fourth if quarterback Sandy Lederman re turns to the form he showed early last fall." Cherberg says, even though the southpaw passer cur rently is playing second fiddle to Steve Roake, a reformed end. Cherberg feels there is no sub stitute for experience and he has 22 lettermen coming back. Quar terback Bob Cox is the only key player among the nine varsity men who departed. LED PASSING Lederman was leading the nation In passing last year when he broke his leg In the third game and was finished for the season. The Injury still may bother him as he looked unimpressive In spring practice and was behind Roake when the sessions ended. 1 However, the Lederman-Roake battle is expected to resume when practice starts Sept. 1. Roake's quarterbacking experience may be limited but Cherberg says it's "problematical" whether Leder man can move back into the Job before his opening game against Idaho. Cherberg figures that this year's backfield will be stronger and will show more speed and better per formance. Jim Sutherland, former California backfield coach, has Joined the Washington staff to help work on that. The Huskies' strong points are in the line where they are deep In experience and reserves from tackle to tackle. Weak spots are on the flanks and in llnebacklng. SOPHS IMPRESSIVE Sophomores who have impressed Cherberg are Dick Day, a 245 pound left tackle and Jim Jones, 196-pound halfback. A three way battle for the left tackle spot may rage between Day and lettermen Jerry Esser and Ed Sheron. "We suffered injuries and mis haps last year which ruined the nucleus of a good club," Cherberg declares. "Inexperienced sophs had to carry the load during the last half of the season. But the experience they picked up plus the return of injured men lends to an Improved outlook." Cherberg will emphasize a split T rather than the straight T which predominated last year as the Hus kies won two games and lost eight.
