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.

WINNER'S SMILES These three youthi from Washington's state championship Babe

roof caved in on the Klamath nine
as Idaho swung into the com
manding 5-1 bulge on three sin
gles, two walks, a hit batter and
an error. 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.

Boston Tops Senators, 8-4
Giants
Whacked
By Cards
By the Associated Press
Think of a 20-game winner and
the name of Warren Spahn pops
to mind.
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.
Manager Billy Rigney of the
Giants was ejected by Umpire Al
Barlick when he and Ramon Mon
zant objected to a call of a third
ball.

PORTLAND (AP)-The offense
began to sharpen up Thursday as
two quarterbacks pitched passes
with perfection in a State drill for
the Oregon Shrine All-Star football
game.
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.

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.
In the National League, Milwau
kee came up with three runs in
the seventh lnitng and beat Pitts

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

Calhoun, 23, White Plains, N.Y.,
has a 35-4-1 record, including 18
knockouts. He has fought most of
the leading middlcweights.

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

"That will suit me fine," said
Armstrong. "Let him come. I'll
be waiting and ready. This is mv

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

The picture thus far is a little
muddled. Statements on how good
the season's opening days have

"the best in years."
Ben Glading, head of the do
partment's Game Management
Branch, told United Press Inter

in southern counties. Hunting in
29 counties opened the coastal
season last Saturday morning.
The next season is the inland

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
