PAGE 2 B HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13. 1958 Pirate Fans Aid Ball Club PITTSBURGH (AP)-Manafier Danny Murtaugh would like noth ing better than to lake a ballpark full of Pittsburgh Pirate fans on ttie 19-game road trip that starts today. But he wouldn't swap George Witt for even that much help. Not alter the red-haired young right hander's pitching feat of handcuff' ing Milwaukee last night. "The Forbes Field crowds help us play better ball, said Mur taugh after the Pirates crushed the National League - leading Braves 10-0 before 36,867 cheering fans. The victory moved the Pi rates to within five games of the Braves. San Francisco's loss last night gave the astounding Pirates sole possession of second place. The Pirates have won 16 of the last 18 games at Forbes Field, in cluding all six of the short home aland which ended last night. Pittsburgh has copped 17 of its last 22 games and is riding a six game winning streak, including the two-game sweep over the Braves. The Pirates open the road trip tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies, then return to Forbes Field Sept. 1 for an 18-day home stand. "We're looking at this road trip optimistically," Danny said. "It's going to be rough. Any road trip is tough. A loyal crowd helps the home club. "If we're within striking dis tance of the pennant when we come back, you'll have to concede us a chance. Nobody is surrender ing to Milwaukee. Witt handcuffed the Braves on two hits just missing a no-hitter for his sixth triumph and second ftraight shutout. He has lost two. "I was mixing them up pretty even." Witt said. "Fast balls and curves. I don't take much of a windup. I just sort of try and step into the pitch, it helps my control and saves energy." - Vroman Nabs , Archery Cup Bud Vroman retired the Klam ath Archers Club trophy for men's freestyle Sunday afternoon at the ninth annual club tournament by posting a win in that classification for the third successive year. Men's instinctive trophy was taken by Bud Case and women's instinctive by Maggie Sample.

Dale and Audrey Baxter won the husband and wile trophy for t ho second successive year, nosing out Ed and Maggie Sample by a scant one and one-half points. New club title holder for junior girls is Caroline Sample. In the boys' division, three new comers won possession of cups this year. Jeff Wagner took the pec wee boys' trophy for under 12 years and his brother, Michael Wagner, .won Junior boys' divis ion, 12 through 14 years.

I ' A . t I ' H Henry Lenz, Midgets Set For Mat Card All sizes, shapes and temnera- menls will be on hand Friday night at the Old Armory as pro moter buck Davidson presents a .vrcsliing program headlined by lour battling midgets. Tickets for the card are on sale at Dick Reedcr'8 Store for Men This will be a "children's night' card, Davidson announced this week. Originally, all youngsters who accompany their psrents to the card would be admitted free to the balcony. But Davidson has also planned a special ringside ticket for children priced at 71 cents. Adult ringside is $1.75. Adult balcony tickets arc $1.25. As usual, the midgets are ex pected to pack the armory seating capacity. Lverywhere these mighty-mights of the mat game ap pear, a large crowd is on hand. Slated to share the spotlight here Friday night will be midget grapplers ' Tiny Roe, Lord Little brook, Ivan The Terrible Russian and Brown Panther. The four will divide sides and meet in an hour- long, two fall tag match. Another 15 minute warm-up bout is billed for Lord Littlebrook and Ivan The Terrible. Besides the midgets, Davidson has four of the big names in Pa cific Northwest wrestling cirlces. The four heavies Lugi Macera. F.ddie Sullivan, Henry "Golden Boy" Lenz and Martino Angelo are also billed tor a tag team scrap, plus a 15-minute curtain raiser between Lenz and Macera. All but Sullivan have appeared here before. Lenz, with lots and lots - of golden hair and muscles, was one of the top druwing cards for Mack Lillard, former promot er. Sullivan is a fighting Irishman, who calls Boston his home. Al though Macera and Angelo arc both of Italian descent, they have different feelings toward each other in the ring. The team scrap pitting Macera and Sullivan against Angelo and Lenz should be a natural. A . Champ Sloppy At Work OCEANSIDE. Calif. tl'PI) Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson appears ' sloppy" in his sparring session at this southern California beach resort and shop ping center. Floyd, 23, is either off form from boredom with long training or he's acting to help the gate for Monday's title defense against un beaten Roy Harris at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. He never tried acting before. "With two more boxing work outs I'm sure I'll be sharp for the fight," he told sportswriters today. "I do feel a bit slow, but I'm get tine faster." Manager Cus D Amato admitted "Yes. Flovd's had previous spells when he didn't appear sharp, but never like this before at a late stage m training. Several New York sportswriters who had witnessed Patterson's last impressive workout at Monticello, N.Y., three weeks ago and then saw him for the first time in the West Tuesday, were surprised at the change in his showing. True, he was using two speedy San Francisco light-heavyweights during Tuesday s four rounds at the Comrrmnity Center. But he had worked with good sparmates in the East. too. Lanky Sisto Rodriguez, who has a stand-up jabbing and hooking style similar to that of Harris, made the champion appear sloppy in their two rounds. Moreover, he landed several "sneaker" rights on Floyd's face rights like those Harris is grooming. And in his two frames with shorter Frank McCoy the champ missed many hooks and resorted to his old-time leaping "gazelle punch, as he tried to spear Mc Coy with flying rights and lefts When he finished the workout there was a lump on the right side of Floyd s face. ARMORY PATRONS Henry "Golden Boy" Lenz, top, and Lord Littlebrook, bottom, will share part of spotlight Friday night at the Old Armory in a wrestling card headed by midget and heavyweight tag team bouts. Both wrestlers hava been here before and in the past were top drawing cards. Tickets are on sala at Dick Reeder's Store for Men.
