Kansas City, Yanks Divide Pirates Edge Giants; Braves Win Veteran Beaten By Youth By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This is a story about a loser, game little Murry Dickson of the Kansas City Athletics. - At 43. the knuckleballins right hander went all the way only to lose in 12 innings last night, 3-2 lo the American League leading New York Yankees. Most of them weren't old enough to be Boy Scouts when Murry pitched his first major league game. The kids who beat the old man, a rookie in the AL, were Andy Carey and Elston Howard. Carey, who singled and went .to third when his theft of second drew a wild throw, was 8 years old when Dickson broke in with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1939. , Howard, who singled Carey home, was 9. starter Whitey Ford and win ning reliever Ryne Duren were 10 when Murry stepped into the ma jors from Houston. Bill Skowron whose sixth home run tied it 2-all In the fifth, was 8 when the 5-101? Missourian made his debut. Tony Kubek, who got the first of .12 Yankee hits, was 3. The A's who won the opener of the day-night pair 4-1, fell to third with the defeat as Boston, a 4-2 winner over Detroit, took second place, nine games behind New York. Fourth -place Washington defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-5; and Baltimore jumped past Cleveland into fifth by beating the Indians 7-5. In the National League, the Mil waukee Braves took a l'-game lead with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Rookie Curt Ray don pitched a two-hitter for Pitts burgh's 2-1 victory over second place San Francisco. Brooks Law rence's six-hitter gave third place Cincinnati a 5-0 decision over St. Louis. Philadelphia beat Los An geles 4-3. KC 4-21-3 Dickson, now 4-2 in his 17th ma jor league season, left 17 Yankees on base. He stranded seven in the 9th. 10th and 11th fanning Skow ron with the bases loaded for the final out in the ninth. It was Murry's longest job since Sept. 26, 1956, when he was a sprout of 40 with the Cards. He went 12 2-3 innings thai: time against the Cubs and lost by the same score, 3-2.

When mention was made last week of the need for a. Little League baseball park, built to size, with concession aires, billboards and all the trimmings . . . this writer was almost sure that he spoke the minds of a goodly number of Klamath Falls people . , . but I was totally unprepared for the quick and encouraging response that kept the phone ringing the very next day. The first calls came from members of the local build- inq trades union, and the spokesmen, who although they admitted they were not speaking officially, stated they could virtually assure anyone interested that -labor, in re gards to painting, carpentering and plumbing, would all be donated to the cause. This wasn't really such a sur prise, though. . . . Like we said, there are probably a lot of Klam- alhites that would be more than willing to go all out with time and services to make the dream a reality. Just one of the things that we like about Klamath Falls. Maybe the toughest problem we face is that of finding a name for the stadium. There is, of course, a small matter of the ground on which to put it and the material with which lo build. As someone observed. though, there sure are a lot of trees near . . . and we have ground that hasn't been used yet, Perhaps the chamber of com merce would like to join the cause . . . what with Klamath scheduled to make the pages of the newspa pers of the West (at least,) be. cause of the .' regional Babe Ruth playoffs to be held in August. A community project such as this would also attract a lot of atten tion . . . but, more than this just think of all the happy kids. Wet Bishop, who seems like a nice enough guy on the street, has sort of Jekyll-Hyde personality It seems. Nothing serious; unless of course you drive a hardtop on the same track that he does Wcs has a mania for winning hardtop races and It has been said that he doesn't care how he does it. Should he deem it nccesary to run over or through someone else s car to get out front, he does just that. This is, naturally, a little hard on equipment (and drivers) ... it even happens, occasionally that the recipient of the wear and tear is Bishop, himself. Some drivers have seen fit to fight fire with fire, with the end result that Bish op lands in the wall, the pits, on his head or in some other compro mising situation. In the first race of this season Bishop adopted a somewhat un kindly attitude towards one George Smith . . . and with good reason, or so Wes thought, since Smith was very obviously intent on picking up all the marbles . . . and he had the equipment with which to do It. What he had was a "bomb with wheels. Threatened with a chance loss of a win, Bishop decided to take some drastic steps to do away with the intruder. Followed a gen tle bumping duel (nerfing, in the language of the track) . . . this nerfing consists of giving a few (quite a few) tender nudges (at 61) miles an hour) to the handiest portion of the car ahead or along side or whatever. Smith ncrfed back ... and Bish op took a trip through the pits, around a light pole or two and finally leaped a bank to get back on the track. He was a little late. Smith was away. Smith's car didn't get in free, though, he did enough damage to the front end of his car lo force him to work for the major remaining part of the card to get It put back together. Bishop was not necessarily con cerned over this, ... The only thing to go wrong was the fact that Smith and his crew got the car back into action in time for the main event . . . where he stayed out of the way of the frustrated Bishop long enough for the big win. Bishop, we might add, has long memory . . . and is about as forgiving as a concrete wall. There just might be another day. Auto racing ... on a little wider scope . . . sees Indianapolis win ner, cigar-chewing, Jimmy Bryan planning to pick his spots as to where and when he races in the foreseeable future. Bryan, who has won the Nation al Racing Championship each of the last. three years, is willing to forego his chance for the fourth straight title. He has a pretty fair reason for passing up many races for the balance of this year at least. . . . Too much money. Income taxes and their in evitable problems have a great deal to do with his decision. Bryan shared, and we have a hunch, nice fat share, in the winners purse of a record $105,574 for his stint in the 500. George Salih, owner of the Be lond Special, which Bryan piloted to the victory, said "There is not much percentage in Jim trying to win more money. Salih went on to say that Bryan would not race on the dirt at all but there was a possibility that they might compete in the 150-mile in ' Milwaukee next August. In the immediate future Bryan will go to Monza, Italy to race the Belond in the big 500 mile event on June 29. Also making the trip are Jim Rathmann, Johnny Thompson, Jimmy Reece, Don Freeland, Ray Crawford, Troy Ruttman, Bob Veith, Eddie Sachs and Rodger Ward. Expected to appear against the Americans are a number of Euro pean racers. The last running of the Monza race saw some of these same Europeans fail to show. It is going to be interesting to see whether they will show up for this one. . . . The Italian fans loved the race. Maybe some of the vaunted road-racers will make a bid. Nothing much has been heard of Juan Manuel Fangio's plans since he decided against running at In dianapolis. Phillies Slip By Dodgers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The day after Christmas 1953 the Pittsburgh Pirates traded sec ond baseman Danny O'Connell to .Milwaukee for three guys named Max, Sid and Sam, three kid pitchers and $75,000. One ot the pitchers was termed sleeper by the Bucs, who brought him along in the minors Yesterday, big right-hander Curt Raydon threw an eye-opening two- hitter for his first victory and complete game in the majors, 2-1 job over San Francisco that gave the Pirates a three-game sweep. By losing their fifth in a row the second place Giants tumbled l'.a games behind the Milwaukee Braves, who beat the Chicago Cubs 5-4. Cincinnati defeated St. Louis 5-0 on Brooks Lawrence's six-hit pitching. Philadelphia beat Los Angeles 4-3. In the American League, the first place New York Yankees split a day-night pair with Kansas City, winning 3-2 in 12 innings aft er a 4-1 defeat, and dumped the A's to third.

(API - Twenty years ago Dick Metz, then a star of the pro golf circuit, had the .National Open championsmp all wrapped up going into the last round, only to lose it with a hor rible 79. Today Metz, a weather-beaten 50, was out in front again as the Open went into ils second round. And he probably was the only per son on the premises who thought he had as good a chance of stay ing ahead as the two players who were tied with him. Sharing the lead with Metz aft er an opening day in which no one could equal par on the heat- scared, windswept Southern Hills course were Tommy Bolt and Jul ius Boros. They shot 71 real good golf on a rugged day when some of golf's best known stars had to settle for 75s. Southern Hills' par is 35-3570 for a laugh hilly 6,907- yard layout. The heat and the wind made It play tougher yesterday and caused frequent errors of judgment in ap proaching the greens. "A harrowing, heartbreaking experience" was what veteran Gene Sarazcn called it after post ing a score of 84. There were plen ty of others who agreed with him. Metz, who finished second to Ralph Guldahl in the 1938 Open after his memorable blowup, last played in the championship in 1954. Since then he s been running a ranch, playing in a few minor tournaments each year and con sidering himself as retired. lie s dead serious when he says he is in shape and can play good goit right tnrough the tournament. But most observers feel the weight of 50 years will be a bit too much when it comes time to play 36 holes in the heat Saturday. uoros is a sione-taced, solid 220- pounder who never seems to be disturbed by heat. At 38, he about a year younger than the "new" Bolt, who says he finally has conquered his temper. One stroke behind going into the second round were Lloyd Man grum, another tested veteran who won the Open in 1946, and 35-year-old Frank Slranahan. Two behind at 73 were 48-year-old Jimmy De- maret and Bruce (Jrampton, a 22-year-old Australian pro. All that helped make the 75 shooters look pretty good. There were 20 of them, including Ben Hogan, a four-time winner of the Open who would like to be the first to win a fifth, twice-champion Cary Middlecoff. and Sam Snead, who never has won the big one. Ordinarily at this stage players with scores in that range likely would be wondering about their chances to survive the cutoff at the end of today s second round. After the second round, the field is reduced to the 50 low scorers and tics for 50th for the 36-hole finale on Saturday. It usually takes about 150 or better to make it. There were four who had 74s on the first round two-time Am ateur champion Harvie Ward, touring pro Gene Littler, Smiley Quick, a club pro who once was runner-up in the National Ama teur and 50-year-old Labron Har ris, golf coach at Oklahoma State University. Walter Johnson pitched 113 shut outs for the Washington Senators. Seven came in opening games of the season. MOVING? your furniture i in good handt with..
