Coast Conference Kicking, But End Expected To Come PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) The 43-year-old Pacific Coast Confer ence still has an official lease on life, for at least a few more days, but members have been taking turns posting death notices. The latest somber prediction comes from Dr. C. Clement French, president of Washington that WSC believes the conference I day and there were reports Ore is finished and will support any gon and Oregon State would sup- recommendation to dissolve it. That recommendation will prob ably come at the PCC meeting in Portland this weekend. California, Washington, UCLA and USC have already set dates for leaving the conference. Stan State College.

Tournament play opened Wednesday afternoon and continues through Sunday evening. Babe Ruth League boys range from 13 to 15 years of age and they play a pretty mean game of baseball. The winner of this playoff will join seven other regional winners in the Babe Ruth World Series to be played August 18-24 in Van couver, British Columbia. The Northwest region of the BRL program has always produced a first class club, and the competition in this year's program proves even more that the Pacific Northwest is turning out some of the nation's top youth baseball material. For those of you who haven t taken time to watch a Babe Ruth League baseball game, you are in for a treat when you take in some of the tournament action. These youngsters are talented in all re spects of the game and give forth a good picture of America's youth being kept busy and healthy through forms of recreation. Klamath Falls entered Babe Ruth League competition three years ago and the local area has prospered well under the national program for boys. The first year, a local team finished fourth in the state tournament. Last year, the Klamath entry won the state championship and placed second in the regionals. This year, Klamath has a host team in the regional finals and claimed the state run nerup in the Klamath County all star team which lost out in the state tournament championship game to Portland's Southeast Na tional. With this type of interest In a growing program we know sports fans will turn out and give these boy's a well deserved greeting as they stay the week with us. This is a big undertaking by tourna ment director Jack Kemnitzer and local Babe Rut officials and they need the cooperation of all Basin residents to put this tournament over with a bang. Win, lose or draw, we'll see you at Gem Stadium for the North west Regional Babe Ruth League Tournament games. Still on the youth program side, we want to remind baseball fans that the local Little League has scheduled an all-star game for 12-year-olds. The game is to be played at Gem Stadium, August 13, a Wednesday night. The two all-star teams com prised of 12-year-olds only are very fine examples of the success ful season by the six Little League clubs. Little League age is 10 through 12, the next step before Babe Ruth League. Little Leaguers play on a "short ened down" baseball diamond Base paths are 60 feet in length and the pitching plate is 44 feet from home plate. Regulation Lit tle League parks, which we are trying to get started here, have outfield fences about 175 feet from home plate. If you haven't seen these small fry in full dress uniforms, you've missed an evening's entertain ment. Don't pass up this chance to see the cream of the crop ef Klamath Falls future baseball players In action next Wednesday night at uem. port the move, Idaho, which plays only North em schools in football, kept on the sidelines with a statement from its president it was policy "not to discuss the vote of its ath letic representative prior to h i s going to the conference meeting WSC s president said he hoped ways could be worked out for con tinuing athletic relations with the other PCC schools. But WSC plans to move forward in intercolle giate athletics" in any event, French said. Washington State, which has been developing a strong football team and could be one of t h e favorites for the Rose Bowl next season, has scheduled grid games with teams like Texas, Northwest ern, Iowa and Indiana in the next five years. WSC Athletic Director Stan Bates said the school would keep an open mind at the Portland meeting on future athletic rela tions with FCC members. He in dicated he would favor a proposed loose association of former member schools if the conference breaks up as predicted, be In the running for the Pacific Coast League pennant, but Tom my Heath s ball club can rightful ly be railed the loop s best public relation team. All year long, Portland has scheduled special "nights," rang ing from ladies night to a night for lefthanded bottle washers. But Heath and Company hnve come up with an idea to make their final home stay August 18-24 one of the most successful weeks in Port land baseball history. Here's what Heath has sched uled: A girls Softball team will play two innings against the Beavers on August 19. On the following night there will be a vaudeville show featuring players from the Port land and Seattle ball clubs. Then on the night of August 21, there will be a short game be tween the state's leading Repub licans and Democrats. Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes will pitch for the 1 Democrats and Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, who is the GOP nominee for governor, will man age the Republican nine. On August 22, members of the Washington Redskins professional j tootnau team will stage an ex hibition including a field goal kicking contest between former Oregon State College star Sam Baker and Jack Littrell, the Bea vers' shortstop. And on the afternoon of August 23, clowns and Portland's newest zoo tenants four Russian bear cubs will perform for the enjoy ment of a children's day crowd. Portland has drawn 122,687 so Shrine Club Adds Lineman PORTLAND (AP) The State squad gained a man on the Metro politans Tuesday with addition of a lineman for the Shrine Hospital all-star football game. That was because the Metro team lost a halfback with an ankle fracture, and State put tackle Andy Kriekis of Springfield on its roster. This addition by State was per mitted to fill the vacancy left when Salem quarterback Keith Burres was ruled out in the phy sical examination held before the start of drills. Coach Lee Gustaf- son said he picked the lineman because he needed added strength in the forward wall, and had good quarterback replacements already at hand. Metro, though, will not be able to replace Paul Goddard of Lin coln High, who suffered an ankle fracture in Tuesday morning's drill. Vacancies occurring after opening of practice are not filled. Loss of Goddard takes from the Metro squad one of Oregon's flash iest halfbacks, whose speed had been expected to be an important factor in the Aug. 16 game.

Mantle Homers; B-SoxWin By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS You have to hand it to that fel low Bob Turley. When he starts something he finishes it. The New York Yankee ace, top winner in the majors with his 17-4 record, has completed 16 of 22 starts. If Baltimore never sees Turley again it will be much too soon. The Orioles have scored only one run against their former team mate in 36 innings. Turley s latest effort was a sev en-hitter against the Onoles last night for a 4-1 victory. Mickey Mantle slammed his 30th home run off loser Connie Johnson with two men on in the third. The blow tied him with Bos ton's Jackie Jensen for the Amer ican League homer lead. The feeble Orioles suffered their ninth straight defeat, tying the De troit Tigers for the longest losing streak of the year. The Tigers, now improved, had a six-game winning string snapped by Cleve land 6-1 when Cai McLish pitched the Indians into fourth place. He scattered seven hits to make his record 11-8. Billy Monbouquctte, a 21-year old rookie from Medford, Mass., beat Washington 7-1 for his first major league victory for Boston Ted Williams playfully eluded a fan in the outfield until the police caught up with the intruder In the seventh. Jimmy Picrsall's three-run homer was the big blow off loser Camilo Pascual. Chicago jumped on loser Boh Grim for five runs in the third inning and hung on for a 5-4 edge over Kansas City with some neat relief work by Turk Lown. In the National League, Milwau kce regained a five-game edge by downing Pittsburgh 6-1 in a night game after the second-place San Francisco Giants lost to Chicago 10 9 in a 10-inning day game. Cin cinnati rallied in the ninth to nip the Phillies 6-5. St. Louis enjoyed its biggest batting day of the year (Continued on Page 3B) Briefs By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS y. TENNIS SOUTH ORANGE. N.J.

Braves Pick Up On Giants By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS All it took was a little dose of Lew Burdette magic to cool off the Pittsburgh Pirates as National League pennant contenders. Although the Milwaukee right hander allowed 10 hits, he main tained his old spell over the Pi rates in a 6-1 victory last night that restored the Braves' five- game lead over San Francisco. The Giants lost to the Cubs 10-9 in the 10th as Ernie Banks' single chased home an unearned run at the expense of Johnny Antonelli. Cincinnati rallied for three runs in the last of the ninth to top Phil adelphia 6-5. Frank Robinson knocked in the tying and winning runs with a two-run double off Dick Farrell.
