Joining Idaho in the unbeaten class is South King County, the Washington representative, who, after drawing a bye in the open ing round upset favored Oregon, 10-6, in the second game on Thurs day's schedule. Wyoming goes into the third round wearing a 1-won, l-lost mantle after overcoming a 10-run deficit to blast luckless Montana out of the tournament with a 17-11 victory in Thursday's opening game. Today's opener pits Wyoming against British Columbia at 2 p.m. British Columbia drew a bye in the second round and lost their first outing to Oregon. Tonight at 7 o'clock, Klamath Falls gets a chance to get back into contention as they come up against Oregon, who has also won one and lost one. The feature game of the third round will see Idaho and Washington lock horns at 9 p.m. in the first-place-tie breaking contest. Idaho Edges KF Approximately 800 fans never gave a thought to going home ihursday night until the last man was finally out and Idaho had supped by Klamath Falls 5-4, in what was easily the most exciting and probably the best ball game - of the Babe Ruth tourney to this point. Klamath Falls entered the last half of the last inning on the short end of a 5-1 count and then walked . through three Idaho hurlers who seemingly could throw nothing but balls to bring the game to within just one more ball of being all tied up. The needed ball never came The fifth pitcher to face the KF batters, Gary Amos, who spent the biggest part of the contest playing first base, threw three straight balls to Rod Sparlin and followed them with three straight strikes to see Sparlin go down with the bat on his shoulder for the third and final out, Idaho broke into the score col umn first as they grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth Klamath knotted the count in the last of the sixth as Idaho winning pitcher Aaron Spurway walked in a run. In the top of the seventh the WINNER'S SMILES These three youthi from Washington's state championship Babe Ruth League play were ell smiles after winning their first game in the Northwest Re gional Tournament now in progress at Gem Stadium. Washington defeated Oregon 10-6 in a Thursday night game and will meet Idaho Friday evening. Above, left to right, are outfielder Sammy Hicks, catcher Jack Hanson and pitcher Let Kero.

At this point they seemed fairly safe it didn t last how ever. Idaho's miseries started early in the last half of the seventh as three straight walks filled the sacks with Klamath players. Bar clay Poole, Idaho rightfieldcr. was called to the mound to relieve Spurway and quickly picked up a pair of outs. Poole ran into walk trouble then, and moved a run home as he threw a batch of bad balls. Amos entered here and promptly issued two more free passes which brought the score to 5-4, and Sparlin to the plate. Three straight balls three straight strikes and the ball game went into the record books. The winner, Spurway, won his own game in the top of the seventh as he poled a single through sec ond base that scored the last two Idaho runs. Spurway entered the game in the sixth stanza after coming to the aid of Idaho starter, John Wollaston, who had walked four in a row to tie the score, one-all. Wollaston . gave up the only three KF hits. The losing pitcher, Klamath starter Gary Bebber, worked 6 2-3 innings giving up only four hits, walking 10 and striking out six. His relief, Bert Allbritton, gave up one hit and walked one while putting out the Idaho fire. Dave Saks, who was reliever of sixth after injuring his knee; Rich Depew, the K Falls centerfielder. and shortstop Sherm Allen, col lected the only Klamath hits, all singles. Leading the Idaho hitters was Spurway, who notched a pair of singles; Jack Morbeck, the first Idaho relief pitcher, Dale DeJano- vich and Amos each added a sin gle to round out the Idaho hitting. Saks knee injury was reported serious enough that it may keep hjm from playing in tonight's Klamath-Oregon game. The sturdy catcher was a defensive star in the Idaho game he figured in one double-play and picked a runner off second and third before having to leave the diamond.

The Milwaukee left-hander, now 37, is heading toward the 20-mark for the ninth time. If he makes it he will set a modern major league record for left-handed pitchers. He is tied witn Leiiy urove oi the old Philadelphia A's among the southpaws. He still is way be hind the top right-handers. Cy Young won 20 or more 16 times over 50 years ago. Christy Ma thewson did it 13 times and Wal ter Johnson 12. At the rate Spahn is going he will have no trouble making the grade for the third straight year. A three-run rally against Bob Friend in the seventh inning gave Milwaukee a 3-2 decision over Pittsburgh yesterday. Spahn scat tered seven hits for his 15th vic tory. The Braves pulled out seven tun games in front of the San Fran cisco Giants, who lost 12-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals and Sam Jones. Philadelphia climbed into fourth by shading Cincinnati 3-2 behind Don Cardwell. Dave Philley's tri ple and Chicago Fernandez's sac rifice fly broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth to beat Bob Purkey. Johnny Klippstein saved Sany Koufax in the ninth inning to pro tect a 3-1 Los Angeles victory over the Chicago Cubs. In the only American League game, the Boston Red Sox wal loped Washington 8-4. Cards 12, SF 1 The revived Cardinals battered loser Mike McCormick and two others for 13 hits. Stan Musial's two hits in three trips gave him the batting lead at .346 to .344 for the Phils' Richie Ashburn.

Both the State and Metro squads held double drills Friday in prep aration for the Aug. 16 game in Multnomah atnnium here. After the slick passing demon strations by Albany's John Wilson and Jim Smith of Grants Pass, State coach Lee Gustafson said: utlense is finally catching up with the defense and things arc looking much better. Gustafson also praised three ends who caught most of the passes thrown. He said Greg Willener of Eu gene, Mike Sparlin of Grants Pass and Cloudc Layton of South Sa lem all will see action in the All Star contest.

B Thumper Sparks Sox Win By the Associated Press For a man closing in on his 40!h birthday, Ted Williams still swings a mean home run bat. With 476 to his credit, the Boston Red Sox slugger now seems certain to reach his lifetime goal of 500 home runs. Williams hit his 20th homer of the year (No. 476) and a two- run single yesterday while Bos ton spanked Washington 8-4 for its fifth straight victory. It was the only game scheduled in the American League. The two hits edged Williams to 311 and an eighth-place tie in the batting race. Although he still is 24 points behind the leader, team mate Pete Runnels, Ted still must be given a chance of winning his sixtn oatting crown.

Calhoun Pick In TV Fracas NEW YORK (AP)-For a fellowl stepping into fast company, Gene Ace) Armstrong is getting a lot of respect. The rangy unbeaten middleweight is only a 6-5 under dog against experienced, powerful Kory Calhoun for their 10-round television scrap at Madison Square Garden tonight. Armstrong, 26, Elizabeth, N.J.. has won all 14 of his pro fights in three years. But he has scored only one knockout and his only victory over a name fighter came Feb. 17 when he decisively whipped Charley Joseph of New Orleans. That was his last fight. Calhoun, 23, White Plains, N.Y., has a 35-4-1 record, including 18 knockouts. He has fought most of the leading middlcweights. u s tne contrasting styles that apparently give Armstrong a solid chance. Calhoun is the sixth con tender and Armstrong No. 9. Armstrong, a fine boxer, likes an opponent to come to him. He doesn't have to worry about Rory on that score. "That will suit me fine," said Armstrong. "Let him come. I'll be waiting and ready.

For hundreds of miles around the hydroplane racing fans have jammed the city for the annual Seafair and the climax on Sunday, the Gold Cup Race on Lake Washington.- Hotels are full, airlines, busPs California Season Gets Testing SACRAMENTO (UPI) Calif ornia's crucial 1958 coastal deer hunting season was one week old today but the big question which worries Department of Fish and Game officials still was unanswer ed. The question is this: "Are more than 15 per cent of the hunters going to bag game this year? If they don t, critics can say of the department that it gambled and lost. But if more than 15 per cent score, the department can say it has proved its point. The gamble was over hunting either sex of deer in 1956. The department allowed this type of hunting and critics yelled "slaugh ter" and predicted dire results for years to come. But this year, department sci entists believe, will prove the cri tics were all wet. They hope hunt ers will do better than last year s 15 per cent hag to prove that the 1956 hunt actually was beneficial OSC Garners Track Stars CORVALLIS AP) Oregon State College will have six top prep track and field stars on its squad this fall, according to track coach Sam Bell. Bell said the athletes include Dale Drake of North Salem, anch or man ot tne 440 relay team which set a new Oregon A-l rec ord last spring; Marvin Tyler of Lakevicw. who set a record in the iavelin at the last state A-2 meet Vern Lovelace of Monmouth-Independence, A-2 winner in broad jump and high hurdles, and Gary Stenlund, a top javelin thrower from Douglas High in Portland In addition. Bell said Claude Milean ot Dallas and 880-star Ivde Laird of Martinez, Calif. also will enroll at OSC. Archie Oldham, Columbia's bas ketball coach, is 6-fcct-7. Lion Crew Coach Don Rose is 5-fcet-2.

The picture thus far is a little muddled. Statements on how good the season's opening days have been range from "horrible" to "the best in years." Ben Glading, head of the do partment's Game Management Branch, told United Press Inter national that the take is down north of the hay area but normal in southern counties. Hunting in 29 counties opened the coastal season last Saturday morning. The next season is the inland hunt, Sept. 20-Oct. 26. Glading said department tabula- lions for the first week show 2,500 deer killed this year compared with 3,000 a year ago. The major reason is lack of elfort due to hot, dry weather. As for the deer, there arc plenty of them," Glading said. The Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association, with headquarters in Redding, agreed with Glading. This Northern California group predicted the success ratio will be up better than the past three years. Fights By TI1K ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTH ADAMS, Muss.

Gar Wood, a greying old-timer now, but one of the greats of early-day racing, was amazed at the interest in boat racing in this capital of the Northwest. 'Never saw anything like it." said the Detroit man who put boat racing into the big time. "And the way they handle the Cold Cup preparations is wonder ful." The press set-up for this event for instance, would do credit to baseball's World Series and the coverage isn't far short of that. The local TV stations have elab orate lay-outs, and the local news papers assign many writers and columnists to do daily pieces. Thursday morning, after Herb Elliott had run that fantastic world record In the mile a feat that surely must have been ban nered on nearly every sports page in the world the Seattle newspa pers stuck with the hydroplanes. And rightfully, too. Because on every tongue, in every mind, the thinking is hydroplanes. Ten - year - old youngsters here know all about "rooster tails." 'stack fires," and other terms common only in the racing set. The local heroes aren't Stan Musial, Ted Williams or Willie Mays but Miro Slovak. Bill Mun- cey and Bill Stead. The kids stand around for hours waiting to get in autograph and one Slovak signature is worth at least six by Pete Radcmacher or Floyd Pat terson, the men who fought for the world's heavyweight champion ship here last year.
