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.

The day after Christmas 1953
the Pittsburgh Pirates traded sec

TULSA, Okla. (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.
