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.

'Fever'
Floating
In 'Frisco
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)
Pennant fever, even before the
first ball is tossed out, floated
around the San Francisco Bay
Area today right from Giant
Manager Bill Rigney down to the
lowliest rooter in the bleachers.
"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. Oth
er Pelican winners so far this year

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

Schmidt be able to carry the big

catcher?
3 Will sophomores first base
man Orlando Cepeda; third base
man Jim Davenport and outfield
ers Felipe Alou and Willie Kirk
land be able to come through
again as they did in 1958? 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

Mauriello gave up only four hits,
and three of the four Spokane runs
were unearned.
