Friday, June 6, 1958 KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SEC. B PAGE 1 Little Leaguers Prepare For 1958 Season Opener The Klamath Falls summer baseball program for 10. 11 and 12-year-old boys is rapidly near ing the opening of its first sea son as an official member of the National Little League, Incorpor ated, it was reported today by Gene Favell, local association president. Arrangements have finally been completed to bring the six team league under the national associ ation heading. Favell stated that the franchise was expected mo mentarily from Little League headquarters. Under the new affiliation, the teams, each composed of 15 boys (six aged 12, five 11-year-olds and four, aged 10), will play accord in j to official Little League rules on regulation diamonds with the pitcher's box 44 feet distant from the plate and basepaths of 60 feet. National rules stipulate that a new member to the association must play under national league supervision for one year before being allowed to compete in the regional, state or national play offs, Favell explained. Because of the tremendous interest and re sponse evidenced in local Little League play, it is hoped that next season will see the addition of more leagues and teams to this year's nucleus, Favell continued.

Lack of facilities restricts the league to its present size. Teams and coaches represented in the league include Johns-Man-ville (Loren Binney, Clay Han non), Bob's Union Service (Mar vin Cunningham, Bill Christian sen), Car-Ad-Co (Bud Adkins), Weyerhaeuser-Don's (B. M. An- tie), Parks Cabinet - Moyina Heights (Ray Kaufman), and Hal's Sport Shop (George bpranuei. As a kickoff prior to the start of regular league play each of the above teams in their new uniforms will play the other in a Little League Jamboree to be held at Gem Stadium, Monday evening, June 9. The general public is in vited and there is no admission charge. The regular season is scheduled to start Wednesday, June 11, at Klamath Union High's Wright Field. The use of Wright Field as the site of the Little League games was made possible through the cooperation of the Klamath Union High School Board, according, to r avell. Working with Favell at the head of the Little League group is Dor is Aberhathy, league secretary, Wendy Huettl, jamboree chair man, Bert Smith, financial chair man and Jack Kemnitzer, city recreation official who has worked closely with the league. KF Kubs Schedule Two Tilts The Klamath Falls Kubs lead ing the Northern California League with three straight victories, take night away from league com petition Friday evening as they travel to Camp White to meet the local semi-pro club in a single game. Sunday the Kubs return to Gem Stadium to meet Mount Shasta in league play. Tonight's game will be the first outside opponent for the Kubs this year. Earlier in the season, Klam ath lost a 5-4 nod to Mount Shasta in a practice contest. Manager Irv Whitt's Kubs have knocked down three straight tri umphs in league play and could strengthen their hold on the top position by dumping Mount Shas ta here Sunday. The Kubs' week end foe is regarded as one of the teams to beat in this year's race tor the title. Game time is 2 o'clock. Other Sunday NCL games find Weed at Scott Valley and Yreka at Duns muir. Last week, Klamath edged Yre ka 10-8 to slip the Indians into a four-way tie for second place with a 2-2 record. Battling for the lead and a game and a half behind Klamath are Yreka, Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta and Weed, Scott Val ley is solidly entrenched in the cellar with three losses. Going into tonight's game, first baseman George Hanson leads the team's hitting parade, clubbing the ball at a .533 pace. Hanson has collected eight hits in 15 at bats in the three games played to date. Outfielder Floyd Linder- man is second high on the batting list, but leads the Kubs in hom ers and runs batted in. Batting and pitching records up to tonight s game: AH . . . Very little comment needs accompany this particular box score. ' Speaking of "Crazy Legs" his weekly television show "76 Sports Club" is one of the most popular of the afternoon shows presented ... and not for just the kids, either. Some fine talent, both pros and amateurs, demonstrate a great j amount of "how-to" of their parti cular sports. Hirsch says, of his work with boys and girls whoso desire to play a sport probably exceeds their ability, "No touchdown I ever made when I played for the Los Angeles Rams gave me the satis faction I get out of this work." Every weekend Elroy is at some piayground or park, holding a Sports Clinic. What Klamath Falls summer baseball players need Is a fairy Godfather. . . . Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing If one ,of our city fathers (or a group thereol) would come up with Tim Tarn Eyes 3rd Turf Wjn NEW YORK (UPD Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, was cxDected to draw six rivals today for Saturday's 90th running of the $100,000 added Belmont Stakes, third jewel in racing's triple crown. When the entry box closes for the mile and one-half classic to day, those trying to halt the three-year-old son of Tom Fool from his goal probably will include C. V. Whitney's Flamingo, Joseph E. O'Connell's Cavan. Mrs. Anna Cannuli's Chance It Tony, Wheat- lev Stable's Nasco, Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis' Martins Rullah and Mrs. Charles Silver's Page Seven. Tim Tarn has been installed as a lopsided favorite to become the ninth holder of the triple crown, last won by Calumet's great Ci tation 10 years ago. a regulation Little League base ball park, as so many of the West Coast cities have already done, ... A park complete with advertising on the fences, stands and the works. Costs really wouldn't be too ex- horbltant . . . lots of people would be willing to help with time, aerv- ices and money. The first thing to be found, of course, would be place to put It . . . but that Isn't an Impossibility, either. I can see It now ... a big sign over the entrance . . (Joe Doaks) Little League Stadium. Sound good? Why do I feel that there Is a need for such a park for the little guys. . . . Klamathltes have watched a tremendous growth in the summer baseball programs. We have reached a point where the regional Babe Ruth League playoffs are to be held in our city (August) . .-. and the Little Leaguers have recently Joined the National Little League, Incorporat ed. In these two leagues alone there are 21, 15-boy teams . . . not to mention another 16 teams of soft ball players. Fully five times this number of eager, anxious tads were turned away; not for lark of ability or de sire, but for the lack of coaches, sponsors and a place to play. Help is needed . . . and what Is more deserving of help than bunch of boys who want to play ball. . . . Room, we got lots of; work, we can; and remember, something like (his doesn t cost ... It pays. Just ask Police Chief Howard. Ah, baseball , . . and its far- reaching effects. For example . .

Thus jittery John McMullin, the hungry-looking fellow from Fair Oaks, Calif., who has won much less than expenses on the tour, faces some great odds as he sets out today ahead of the pack in tne sza.ooo uauas open. McMullin, 23, who lives at Ala meda, Calif., and whose wife is expecting at Palo Alto, laid down a 6-under-par 64 yesterday to take the first-round lead. It gave him a 2-stroke bulge over five shot makers Tony Lema, Napa, Calif. Doug Sanders, Miami, Fla.; and Gary Player, Johannesburg, South Africa. At 67 were two of the pre-tour- nament favorites, Sam Snead, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va the defending champion; and Billy Maxwell, Odessa, Tex. Mike Sou chak, Grossinger's, N. Y., and Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N. C, also had 67s while another of the big favorites. Ken Venturi, San Francisco, wound up with a 68. Snead, who was disgusted with his putting on the sun-baked 6,469- yard Oak Cliff Country Club course, was matching his rounds of the past two days, one a prac tice affair and the other in the pro-amateur.

It's a .420-plus pip. Stan The Man, at 37 the "Old Guard" who has won four of his seven hitting titles in the last t seasons, is a slumpin .426.

Mays was 4-for-5 yesterday as the San Francisco Giants salvaged the finale of a three-game set with Milwaukee with a 5-4 vic tory in 12 innings. It brought them within .010 percentage points of the first-place Braves. Musial was 0-for-4 against Pitts burgh, but the St. Louis Cardinals swept the three-game set with 4-3 decision. They leap-frogged the Pirates for third place. Mays had 10 for 16, an astound ing .625 average against Milwau kee's world champion pitching staff, in the three games. Musial was 4-tor-U against the Pirates and tumbled from .431, a five- point skid. In the other NL games, Cincin nati smacked Los Angeles 8-4 and Philadelphia finally stopped the Chicago Cubs 7-6. In the American League, the New York Yankees split with the Chicago White Sox, winning 12-5 and losing 3-2.
