Klamath Falls, always known to ba a good baseball town,
is In for a big surprise this year as the Klamath Palls Kubs
play at Gem Stadium. This is not the same rough and
rugged style of sandlot baseball many think, but instead
some very fine athletes are on the Klamath roster this year
Last year, the first in several seasons that Klamath has
been entered in the Northern California League, the local
semi-pro baseball operation had its ups and downs, both on
the field and in the ofdee. But things look a lot different now.
Manager Irv Whitt has lined up
some very fine playing talent for
this year's club, consisting mostly
of local ball players. But the few
outsiders who have joined the club
are excellent prospects.
In fact, one Dorm Martin, is
being chased by several major
league scouts right now and if it
wasn't for Dorm's insistence to
complete his college education, he
mould be playing pro baseball in
stead of with the Kubs.
Martin, along with pitcher Wayne
Hironaka, joined the Klamalh
semi-pros two weeks ago after
playing college ball at Fresno.
Both have another year of college
ahead of them
Dorm, a shortstop. Is one of the
finest big league prospects we have
ever seen. He has a brilliant arm.
hits the ball hard and often, has
speed to burn on the base paths
and can field with the best ol
them. Some local baseball fans say
he is a better all-around baseball
player than the spectacular Steve
Stewart who was the sparkplug of
the Klamath Lakers two years ago.
From what we've seen of Mar
tin, we'll have to agree with these
words of wisdom. Stewart, who
played (or Stanford, was a prime
prospect, but he couldn't hold a
candle to Dorm's hitting and his
" over-all playing seems to be a lit-
. tie better.
Martin has been In the sights of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cleveland
Indians and San Francisco Giants
among many others. Dorm could
aave been in pro ball now, but
would not pass up his college de
gree to play minor league base
ball, something he should be con
iratulated on.
The Kubs are currently leading
the Northern California League
landings by a full game over
Vreka, winning five ol their first
Six games. Unless fate turns
against Klamath, local fans will be
seeing some of the best semi-pro
baseball to be found in the state
or in the Northwest this season
They'll win a few and lose
few; catch a few and boot a few:
but on the whole you'll be seeing
some fine baseball this summer
from the Klamath Kubs.
Klamalh Falls sports fans who
followed the Genu In the days of
the old Far Weil League will prob
ably be watching Rob Bowman of
the Philadelphia Phillies closely
the rest of the season.
Bowman, a very popular center
fielder for the Gems, is making
his second attempt to stick in the
majors this year and so far he
has survived all of the early sea
ton cutoffs. And recently, the Phil
lies have been using Bob as their
regular leftfielder.

Bob had been used mostly as a
Sinch-hiller or relief outfielder,
ut he moved into the starting
lineup in place of Rip Ripulski the
veteran fly-chaser. One of his hel
ler games was last week against
the Los Angeles Dodgers when he
batted a perfect four-for - four,
scored two runs and drove in two
others. This was against such first-

class pitching as Don Drysdale.

Bowman is the first ex-Gem to
make good in the majors. Several
others have had a "cup of cof
fee" in the big time, but only
Bowman seems to have been in
vited to sit down and have dinner.
Pitcher Niles Jordan, who was
with Portland early this year, was
with the Phillies and Cincinnati
for a short time; Dick Young, the
suck fielding second baseman, also
had a short stay with the Phils
a few years ago. Others have had
look, but these have been for
even shorter periods than Jordan
and l oung.
When Len Surlcs announced his
resignation from the Klamalh Un
ion High School staff, II meant
the last of the "old guard" and
the complete transformation of the
school's athletic staff in just three
years.
The dean of the KUHS coaches
now is Don Megale, the pint-sized
basketball and tennis mentor. Me
gale has completed his second year
at Klamath Union. You might give
"Migs" credit for another year
having coached tennis three years
ago while leaching and coaching
in the city grade school system
before moving to the high school
Assistant basketball coach Dean
White has also been on the. staff
two years.
A few years ago. some of the
"main-street1' quarterbacks were
calling for a clean sweep of the
school's athletic plant. Although we
doubt that these same critics of
the school's sports program were
pointing towards buries, the time
has come. He is the last one
to go and the house is clean now
as far as the main streeters are
concerned.
n the last dozen years, think
back and see what a tremendous
change-over there has been in the
local union high school coach staff.

POEjT
House Clears Sports
From Antitrust Laws
WASHINGTON (API-Ton pro
fessional sports officials today
hailed the House vote to grant to
baseball and other team sports
sweeping immunity from the na
tion's antitrust laws.
The bill would enable profession-
;il teams to continue long-established
practices such as player
drafts and baseball's reserve
clause. It also would give clubs
more authority over television and
radio broadcasts of games.
The same standards would cover
all the big four team sports base
ball, football basketball and
hockey.
The House passed the bill by
voice vote yesterday. The Senate
still must act.
The bill, if passed, is one that
all sports can live with, but it is
in no sense a license." said Base
ball Commissioner Ford Frick.
'The House has expressed its
confidence in American sports. It
is now up to us to demonstrate
that the confidence is not mis
placed."
Don Hcinrich of the New York
Football Giants led the nation in
passing in 1950 when he played
for the Washington Huskies.
Market Basket

A rat race and a lie ball game
headlined Tuesday night s Men ;
Softball League action at Conger
Field.
In the first game, the Market
Basket blitzed the Air Force Jets
21-2 in a four-inning game as the
Jet pitchers, three of them,
couldn't get untracked. Market
Basket put their IS base hits to
gether with 14 errors and several
base on balls to roll up the massive
margin.
The evening s second game was
a thriller and ended lied at 4-all
when the National Guard and Hal

10 o clock curfew. The game will
be completed at a later date.

Similar praise was voiced by
National Football Commissioner
Bert Bell, minor League Commis
sioner George Trautman and Clar
ence Campbell, president of the
National Hockey League.
In passing the measure, the
House turned down a bill spon
sored by Rep. Emanuel Celler (D
NY) and approved by the Judi
ciary Committee. That bill would
have exempted professional sports
from the antitrust laws only to the
extent that their practices were
lound "reasonably necessary" for
the sport to function. Critics said
tne legislation wouid create a
chaotic condition and deluge
teams witn law suits.
The House-passed bill savs. in
effect, that only strictly business
activities things like stadium and
concession operations are subject
to antitrust prohibitions against
monopoly and business restraints
The substitute proposal, offered
by Kep. trancis E. Walter (D-Pa)
says the antitrust laws cannot ap
ply to contracts, agreements or
other practices in the big four
sports as they relate to:
1. Equalization of competitive
piaying strengta.
2. The employment, selection or
eligibility of players, or the res
ervation, selection or assignment
of player contracts.
3. The right of teams and clubs
to operate within specified geo
graphic areas.
4. Regulation of rights to broad
cast and telecast reports and pic
tures of games.
5. The preservation of Dublic
confidenc in the honesty in sports
contests (through commissioners'
offices).

Those St. Louis Cardinals, find
ing a new hero for each aeries,

depths.
It was Joe Cunningham's late-
inning bells that gave the Cards
a -split in lour games at Cincin
nati last week. Then it was Ken
