Mi.: . n '-'J l-M .., f I IT Baseball Team Faces GP In Doubleheader Klamath Union's baseball men tor, Dean White, is being faced with the problem ot having a limited supply of ball players for this weekend's games with the Grants Pass Cavemen. -At the pres ent time six squad members are battling with the flu while several first stringers are ineligible. The six who are ill are Rich Moore. Estin Riser, Ken Womer, Dave Saks, Wayne Dennis and Bob Wilkenson. It is not known at this time whether any of these boys will be able to travel with the team to Grants Pass where AILING PEL CATCHER Sophomore Dave Saks is one of the big, question marks facing coach Dean White as the Klamath Union baseball team prepares for a double header with Grants Pass on the Cavemen's home field this Friday afternoon. Saks and five other baseballers are suffering from cases of the flu which makes them doubtful members for the traveling squad. ICU Jay vees Whip errill Husky '9' The Klamath Union High School in the fifth, highlighted by a grand Jayvees unleashed a barrage of extra base hits to swamp the visit ing Merrill Huskies, 10-2, Tuesday afternoon on Wright Field. Two Husky pitchers, Dennis Salva dori and John Haskins, aided the Jayvees in the landslide victory by yielding eight walks between them. Coach Al Keek's crew also contributed five errors while the KU squad was charged with four. Coach Andy Knudsen's Jayvets lumped on Salvadori in the first inning fo.- five runs, one in the second, three in. the fourth, six KF Gunners Have Bad Day The weather turned fair last Sunday afternoon at the Wocus Gun Club, however, the shooters' eyes lost some of their sharpness as only one gunner, Nelson Reed, turned in a perfect score in the Journal Telegraphic shoot. Following Reed were Bob Reeves, George Cunha and Den nis Knowles, all with 24's. Howard Pernell won a leg of the J. C. Renie Handicap Trophy by shooting a near-perfect 48 out ot 50 handicap targets. The attendance was limited on account of several local mem bers traveled to Mcdford for e registered shoot held there over the weekend. Next Sunday the Nelson Reed Handicap Trophy will be shot for witn tne highest handicap score winning the trophy. , T. H.

"If the rookies of 1958 can 'play as well in 1959 and take advan tage of the things theylearned while booting away at least a dozen games last year then the Giants will be m the thick of the pennant fight." That's the battle cry here and the theory was given a great boost with the recent acquisition of pitcher Sad Sam Jones. The idea is that Rigney did a great job managing the club to third place last year when he had only one outstanding pitcher Johnny Antonelli. This season he can start off with Antonelli; follow him with Jack Sanford, Jones and either lefty Mike McCormick or "soft stuff" Stu Miller. "It will be a pleasure to have a pitching staff that I can rotate with a degree of confidence," says Rigney. While the pitching staff looks strong in comparison with last year's well-blasted unit, Rigney still has some question marks the Pelicans take on the Cave men in a doubleheader. White reports that two boys. Gary Head and John Webb, may figure in the varsity plans from now on as a result of their per formances against Mcdford and Bend. Head worked at second base while Webb took over for the ail ing Saks in the backstopping du ties. The Pels are still recuperating from a rough weekend in which thev lost all four games played a pair to Medford on Friday and two more to Bend on Saturday. Despite the fact that' they lost the ball game 2-1, the sterling pitching performance by freshman Rob Wilkenson against tne BiacK Tornado in the opening contest gives White another starting hurl- er to add to his dwindling ranns At Bend, the Pelicans were dropped in the first game, 8-4 and Bend repeated in the second tilt. 8-1. A five run outburst the opening inning of the first game gave the Lava Bears enough of a lead that they were never in trouble after that. Gary Joanis slammed out a duo of long homo. runs against Klamath in the sec ond contest to lead tne Bend vic tory. Slugging ccnterfielder Rich De- pew led the Pels at the plate as he picked up three singles in four times at bat in the opener while poking a double in three-at-bats in the second. Freshman Kent Hunsaker and Paul Bishop shared the hurling chores in the first game while Webb, Bert Albritton and Wally Palmberg did the throwing in the second. As the situation stands at the present lime, White has a lineup composed of Webb at catcher, Don Gresdel at first, Steve Binney at second. Bob Yunck at short. Bill Worlcin at third, Larry Bunyard in left, Dcpew in center and Jim Hall in right. Pitchers are Keith Farrell and Bishop. Inglesby's Track Team Travels To Medford For Rogue Relays The Pelican track squad gets back into competition Saturday afternoon when they trek to Med ford for the Rogue River Relays which .will have all of the District 6 schools, Mcdford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Crater and Klamath entering. Coach Jim Inglcsby reports that the Pelican high jump team of Bob Drace, Bob Lewis, Alan Phillips and Jim Barnes has a good chance of breaking the high jump relays record of 17 feet, tii inches. The total distance for the high jump is taken from the best jumps of three of the four entrants from each school. In the only two meets so far this season for Inglesby's cinder men, the Pels have placed second in a three-way meet with Spring field and Eugene while, in the second outing, the Klamathitcs walked away with top honors last Saturday in a triangular meet with Ashland and Crater on Modoc Field. Drace nabbed first place in the high jump and second in both hurdles events at Eugene before copping both hurdles events plus the high jump last Saturday against Crater and Ashland. Don Story grabbed second place in both the 100 and 220 at Eugene and then came back to win both events against Crater and Ashland, turn ing in his best times of the year. Sophomore Alan Phillips won first place at Eugene in the jav elin, however, when he was award ed second place in the meet with Crater and Ashland, he broke the school record with a throw of 163 feet, six inches which bettered the old mark by three feet. The pole vaulting duo of Ron Olvcra and Gary Burt won that event at Eugene as they tied for first place but placed second against Crater and Ashland.

WALLET fO Mat St. mm v AWLS on a double by Dean Haskins, a pair of walks to Bill Snyder and Bud Maupin and a groundout by Dick Charlton. Griggs chased across three mark ers in the first with a long home run which followed singles by lead off man Gary Head, Dean Dun- son and an error on Larry Bun yard's fly ball. Klamath scored once more in the same inning on two consecutive Merrill errors and a groundout. Bunyard scored Dunson, who had walked, in the second with double while Dunson's double in the third was the big blow in which the Jayvees racked up three more tallies. With the score 9-0, the big six- run outburst in the fifth inning started as Dunson singled for his third hit of the afternoon. A hit batsman, a single by Griggs, and a duo of bases on balls to John Webb and Don Gresdel preced ed Kemnitzer's long- four-bagger which landed in the canal. The final Jayvee tally in the sixth inning came as Bob Lapsley drew a walk and scored all the way from first base on a throw into center field by Merrill catch er Dean Haskins, which, in turn, was errored upon by ccnterfielder Maupin on the return throw to the infield. Dunson's three for three at the plate led all batters for the day as Griggs followed' up for KU with two for five. John Haskins topped Merrill's hitting with three for four, 'eluding a double while brof Vean had two for three, whicn "o included a double. Knudsen's Jayvee squad returns to the diamond for a double-head er with the Grants Pass Jayvees on Friday afternoon on Wright Field while the Pelican varsity is in Grants Pass for a twin-bill with the Cavemen varsity.

Also outfielder Jackie Brandt, just out of the service. Actually the only proven men on the ball club are outfielder Willie Mays; second baseman Daryl Spencer. Sanford was a whiz as a hurler in 1957 witn a rec ord, but last year faded to 10-13. Jones, a strike-out king, never has been a big winner in the rmaiors. Last year ne annexea lost 13, while leading the league strikeouts with 22b. Both ban- ford and Jones were with second division ball clubs, however. The question marks are there. But the fans here can't see any thing except a one-two finish. Sell-outs at beats btadium, ot course, are the order ot tne aay and as long as the Giants stay in contention, buying a ticket tor ball game in San Francisco will be as easy as finding a clear summer day. Former KF Laker Slams Home Run VERO BEACH, Fla.
