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.
Local netters will also be seek
ing trophies In the weekend play.
Ron Lowell, several times city
champion, Earl Brooks, Don Mo
rale. 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.
Harry Todd Issued another plea
for housing help from the sport
fns of the Basin. "We are in need
of a few more homes tor the out-of-town
visitors during the tourna
ment," Todd said. "Anyone wish
ing to help out the housing short
age may do so by calling 5926 or
4801 in the evenings."
There will be no admission
charge and the public Is Invited to
attend the three-day tournament.

Salem Draws
Large Crowd,
Posts 3-2 Win
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Little of note happened in the
Northwest Baseball League Mon
day night, except that more than
4,300 fans turned out to see the
Salem-Wenatchec game at Salem.
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.

SPORTS EDITOR
Swaps, the chestnut rival who
beat him a length and a half in
the Kentucky Derby, is California
bred. 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.

the Detroit Lions is nicknamed

much."

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,

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.
