-RlDAY, SEPTKMBER 30, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN r !U if1 4 inn Ambition Of Byrne By WILL GRIMSLEY BROOKLYN uC-Tommy Byrne Is a frustrated pitcher who wishes he'd been smart like Babe Ruth and changed to an outfielder. "I've always had ambitions to be a hitter," the wiry North Caro linian said today alter pitching and batting the NeTv York Yan kees to a 4-2 victory over the Brooklyn Dodeers in the second game of the World Series. "If I had it all to do over again but it's too late now I'd have been an outfielder." Byrne, uncorking a strikeout sure slider in the clutch, yesterday became the first left-hander both to go the full distance and beat the right-hand-power Dodgers dur ing the entire year. Also it was his slashing single over short which scored Ebton Howard and Billy Martin with the runs which proved the final margin cf victory. "That was a pood wallop," the 35-year-old castolf beamed proud ly. "I liked it." It's hard to try to pull Byrne cut on his pitching prowess with out being escorted down another lane dealing with bat work, j "I rpmember T bntted .507 mv 'last year at Wake Forest, led the Southern Conference in hitting, he said. "I hit seven home runs at Seattle last year and batted in 49 runs, I think. Not bad for a pitcher." Byrne is a lean, hollow-cheeked college graduate wiUi a gift ol gab on and off the diamond and a unique approach to his pro fession. Shunted down to Charleston. W.Va., in 1953 alter being discard ed by four American League clubs, lie thought his baseball days were ended. "It was then I took stock of myself," Byrne recalls. "I told my self I was a man who could solve intricate problems in calculus but who hadn't mastered the simple dimensions of home plate. "I was terribly wild. I was try ing to blow the batters down with sheer power. So I got smart. I changed my pitching technique, mixed in. sliders, curves and change-up stuff. And I learned I could help myself by using psy chology in needling the batters." The result was Byrne was a win ter sensation the Soutli Ameri can winter league in late 1953, winning 13. and a 20-Bame winner in 1954 with Seattle of the Pacific Coast League. That's when the Yankees brought him back to the big time an act for which Manager Casey Stengel will be eternally grateful. Byrne helped propel the Yankees into the World Series with a 16-5 record. World Series ' Notations Second NY Victory Puts Bums On Spot BROOKLYN Uti It begins to look as it the Brooklyn Dodgers lost momentum as the remit of winning the National League Pen nant so early and somehow can't get back into stride. ' Manager Walter Alston says "no" but tho victory of the New York Yankees in the second game, 4-2, after the Yankees won the opener 6-5 put the Dodgers almost hopelessly behind. You don't need 10 fire up a bi(t league player for the series. He's always fired up." :-aid Al ston. T definitely don't think win ning the pennant early hud any Ihii g to do with it." The Dodders clinched the pen nant Sept. 8. The Yankees had to subdue the Cleveland Indians in a strrtch fisht that carried within two games of the end. Despite Al ston, it looks now as if tho Yankees have dash and flro -and the Dod gers haven't. Sports Cont'd From Pages 10-11 Billy Martin, whose triple kay oed Don Newcombe in the sixth inning Wednesday did not hit a three-bagger in 70 trips during the regular season. Billy, who still is on leave from the Army, slammed two triples in the 1953 series. Newcombe's gopher ball habits Jnust be an increasing cause for concern to manager Walter Alston. Don gave up 36 homers to Nation al League batters this yer. fin ishing third to Robin Roberts of the Phils with 41 and Warren Hacker of the Cubs with 38. Wednesday was the eighth time the Yankees beat the Dodgers by one-run in World Series play. They defeated the Brooks 3-2 and 2-1 In 1941, 2-1 in 1947. 1-0 and 4-3 in '49, 3-2 in 1952 and 4-3 in 1953. It was the fifth time in their six World Series against Brooklyn that the Yankees walked oif with the j first game victory. The Dodders ; only won the 1952 opener when , Joe Black bested Allie Reynolds. ! If you've ,jot any buttons v:i- gered in an inning pool, the fourth, j uining looks like a thoo-in. Not only have more runs (G already been scored in this frame in the '55 classic, but in World Series history the fourth inning has been the biggest run-producer with 269. The seventh inning is next with 28 runs followed by the first with 254. Bob Tiirley. whose major leaque background indicated he pitches well late in the season, finished the regular campaign with four straight victories. The Yankee fire baller last lost to the White Sox 3-2 on Aug. 28. With Baltimore in 1954, Turley won five of his last six games. For the "He Shoulda S;arted Someone Else'' department: Brooklyn relief pitcher?! Don Bes ser.t. Clem Labine and Karl Snoon er have irivcn up or.lv two hits in j 6 2-3 inninqs while hurlimr shutout i ball, walking- two and striking out six. Brooklyn's Don Zimmer. who mtde a couple of errors Thursday did not make as many as two in any one game during- the recttlar season. In fact, he made onlv 12 miscues all year to wind up with a fine .970 fielding overage. The scries likely will produce a two-club mark for double plays. The record for a game was shat tered Thursday when six twin-kill-Ines were reeled off, brinninjr the lotvl for the two games to nine. The seres standard is ei-rht for a four-game set. 12 for a five game series and 14 for both six and seven games. Trov 7-5 Peek - WASHINGTON (UP) Light heavyweight Willie Troy of Wash ington is favored at 7-5 to beat collegiate Chuck Speiser of Lans ing, Mich., tonight in their na tionally televised p.nd broadcast 10-round bout at the New Capitol Arena. Troy, who recently out-grew the middleweight class, is favored be cause of his greater experience and crispor punch. Willie regis tered 23 knockouts while winning 30 of his 34 fights. Speiser. a graduate of Michigan Slate and a former Olympic lif;ht heavyweight champ, has had five fights since receiving his dis charge from the Army. His total record of 15-3-0 includes 12 kayoes. ngmeers Meet SMU i By BILL FKRC.I SOX I'nited Press Snorts Writer ATLANTA (UP) Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd, for many sea sens the top razzle-dazzle man in Dixie, has reverted to the old Tennessee "waiting game" and Saturday he'll pit tne conservative new look .against the wide-open attack of Southern Methodist. The Mustangs of SMU. pretty much of an unknown quantity after an openmg 17-0 loss to Notre Dame, could force Dodd's Engin eers out of their shell with a couple of early touchdowns, but otherwise Tech will probably try for a win on SMU's mistakes. At racking up victories over Miami and Florida, 14-6 and 14-7 respectively, Dodd unveiled some of the tricks he learned as a play er at Tennessee under Coach Gen. Robert Neyland. the master of the "waiting game.' Dodd tins season has the back fie'd to play a wide-open game, and the Engineers might turn to such a gume this weekend if Southern Methodist develops a scoring punch. However. Dodd is playing the conservative game strictly out of choice. A talented running attack, powered by halfbacks Paul Hoten berry. Stan Flower?, Jimmy Thompson. George Volkert and fullback Ken Owens, is tailor made for the type of bull control needed in the "waiting game.'' The kick-and-wait game paid off against Miami and Florida, both strong teams, and the oddmabers say it will work against SMU. The Engineers are six-point favorites. Auburn, the only other undefeat ed power in the Somh?pst hesides lech, also taces a suit test tms week against Florida. 'The game could turn into a running battle between Florida's Jack Simpson and Auburn's Fob James, two of the best open-field men in Dixie. James in one game this year got away on touchdown runs of 61 and 76 yards, while in another game, Simpson scored on gallops of 48 and 101 yards. Three Southeastern powers have bieathers as Mississippi meets North Texas Stale, Miami plays Florida State and Mississippi meets Memphis State. In rougher intersection competi tion. Louisiana State faces Rice, Tulane takes on Northwestern. Tennessee plays Dul:e, Georgia squares off with Clemson aud Kentucky tries Villanova. Sports I World j Shorts Deer Hunt.

PORfLAND Oregon's 200.000 deer hunters expected to be in the woods Saturday for the season opening, have blight success pros pects. That is. they have if the weather clears. The Weathci Bureau isn't loo optimistic but Isn't ready to say definitely what may come by Saturday. Some sliov.eis are viewed as likely. The Slate Game Commission says the deer population is up in most ol the slate s game areas and a greater kill than last year is expected. The total last year was a record 112.000. Ihe first 14 days of the season will be for buck deer only with i antlers ol al least two pouits. The buck deer season In Jackson. Coos. Douglas, Josephine and Curry counties and the part of Klamath County south of Highway 230 and west of 97, will be open thrdugh Oct. SI. In most parts of Oicgon, the buck deer season will oe followed by a 7-day. eilher-sex season run ning from Oct. 15 through Oct. 21. The Deschutes National Forest, however, will have a 3-day closure after the general buck season. It then will be open ior either six deer Oct. 18 through Oct. 21. All of Eastern Oregon except Sherman County which will be closed, will have the eilher-sex see son. Tho commission urged that hunt ers in Western Oregon check the law synopsis since west o( the Cascade summit the' cither-sc areas are restricted largely to agricultural and adiacent lands. Theru will be wide areas ol poor visibility if the rains continue, the commission cautioned. Tjrning to areas, the commission said this is the outlook for the weekend: NORTHWEST Throughout the Tillamook Burn hui'.lin-r should be excellent if the weelher clears. Doiifc log mav be expected it rains continue. Pros per ts nre excellent at lower ele vations, with fringe areas near the green feed of agricultural lands holding he.' t chances. Hunters are cautioned to jet permission before enterlmr private Kinds. .In the Southern Willamette area ihe open ing weekend should be good if the weather clears enough to set the fo? out oi high country. Archers do not need to check in at the McDonald forest archery area, but must check Mil anv deer killed. SOI'TMWKST Most Josephine County high alti tude country will be unproductive. Low' hills adjacent to the valley should be best. In Jackson County, the Cascade Mountain country con ditions a'-e good and although the lower hills near the valley floor are drier Ihe buck pomilntion is good. The deer are In good condi tion on all ranees. In Coos and Curry counties the openinc week end prosopcts are fair and rain there could make conditions excel lent. Best bets are in old burns. recent logging and around foothill farms. CENTRAL Ochoco National Forest should be good, espcially on the east half and in irw Luokout Mountain Pro; lective Assn. area. To enter the protective association land a $1 permit, obtainable at Ernie's Sport Shop in pnneville, is required. The no.lh dopes of Maury Moun tain should be fairly good. In the Deschutes National Forest the beet spots seem to be in the La Pine. Chins Hat, Spruig Butte and Meioltus areas. In both Ochoco and Deschutes forests the deer seem now to be fairlv well scattered. NORTHWEST Deer are numerous and there are many fine areas. Snow has fallen at higher elevations and doun to 6.000 leet. Ror.ds may be muddy and chains should be car ried. Morrow and Wheeler County prospects are good and in Wheeler County especially success ts likeiy to be best near agricultural lands. Permission to enter usually can be obtained. There is an over-popu-lat.on of deer in the Cherry Creek anu K.'.hler Basin. Gilliam County should be only fair. Grant County pi aspects, though, are excellent. Spme of the better areas are Hitler, near the mouth oi I,ong Creek; Greenhorn Mountain north cast ol Bates: middle fork oi Canyon Creek above the archery area; Indian Springs area south of Strawberry Mountain; and the Frenchy Butie area near Izee. Gram County forest roads should be passable. Wallowa County premises good success with some of the better areas around Harl Butte, Marr Flat. Big Sheep Creek, bled bprmgs, promise. Whiskey Creek. Day Ridge and Kuhn Ridge. Pack trips should be very success ful in the Imnaha-Snake River area. Umatilla County also offers good prospects of success. The deer are widely scattered in Baker and Union counties and excellent suc cess is in prospect. Many deer have been attracted to isolated allslta lields. Hunters are cau tioned to gel permission before entering private land and to be careful of livestock. It may be necessary to carry water as some springs and -iinall Mreains have censed to flow.
