AGE 14 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. APRIL 9. 1950 Pit feCii (Ob SInl&(o SLUGGING AIRMAN Twenty two-year-old Ronald Scott, who weighs 156, will meet Lakeview'i Dalton Steele In one of the 14 bouts scheduled in the big fight card at Weed Friday night at 8 p.m. Scott, dbove, has fcoxed at Hamilton Air Force Base and in Japan, where he won the championship in a big ring show put on by the Marines. Pelican BasebaUers Meet Grants Pass Coach Dean Whim's baseball team received a shot in the arm Wednesday with the return of four seniors to the squad .who had been ineligible for disciplinary reasons for the past week, with the return of the four starters, Blake Griggs, Dean Dunson, Rich Moore and Steve Binney, the Peli cans held a thorough practice ses sion at Gem Stadium Wednesday afternoon, complete with a scrim mage session with the Oregon Tech baseball squad. Af'.cr the workoift, White was well pleased with the showing of the squad as they showed eager signs of being ready for the pair of league contests with the Cave men at Grants Pass on Friday. Still missing from the squad, however, are first stringers Dave Saks and Eslin Klger and fresh man hurler Bob Wilkcnson who have been out of school this ast week with the flu. Also missing are pitchers Kent Hunsaker and Wally Palmberg. Hunsaker broke his thumb while playing third base for the Jayvees in their game with Merrill Tuesday after noon while Palmberg is out with the measles. ' White has been counting on Wil kenson for pitching duty against the Cavemen as , the freshman turned in a sparkling job against Medford last weekend in which he lost the ball game, 2-1. yielding but ' one hit to the Black Tornado. Hun taker is expected to be lost for the rest of the season with the cast on his thumb supposed to be removed in about three to six weeks. This leaves White with only three hurlers for the weekend doubleheader, Griggs. Keith Far rell and John Webb. Webb is trou bled by a sore arm as he has been doing most of the catching duties for the last week which makes him a question mark in While's mind as - to whether he will' be ready to go for hurling duly. The remainder of the starling lineup to face the Cavemen will be Dunson, the fine fielding first base man, Binney. the slick fielding second' sackcr, improving Bob Ynnck at shortstop, Larry Bun Oregon Staters Batter Wolves CORVALLIS.

Ohio (UPD-The pennant-hungry Pittsburgh pirates and the power-hitting Cincinnati Reds open the 1959 National League baseball season today with a former baseball commis sioner. Gov. A. B. i Happy) Chan dlcr of Kentucky, tossing out the first ball.' The Reds, who always open at home in tribute to their history as baseball's first professional team, are getting one day s head start on the rest of the league, wnicn Begins action Friday. Chandler, baseball czar before present Commissioner Ford Frick was to make the ceremonial first pitch at 2:30 p.m., e.s.t., assisted by Mayor Donald Clancy and City Manager C. A. Harrell. But then Bob Purkey, a sinker ball specialist who won 17 games last year and lost 11, steps to the mound to pitch for the Reds. A half-inning later, fastballing Ron nie Kline, who had a 13-16 record last season, was slated to hurl for Pittsburgh. Pirate fans are hopeful that 1959 will see the Pirates win the Na tional League pennant for the first time in 32 years. But both Pirate and Red fans in the anticipated crowd of 33,000 better buy a scorecard because this will be one time when you really "can t tell the players with out a scorecard." Thanks to the big winter player swap between these two teams, both clubs will present vastly dif ferent lineups from the end of tne 1958 season. Ex-Redleg Don Hoak will be at third base for Pittsburgh and bat ting third. In resve for the Pi' rates are ex-Reds Smokey Bur gess and Harvey Haddix. For Cin cinnati, ex-Pirate slugger Frank Thomas is at third base, rookie Vada P(nson is in center field, and converted outfielder Frank Robinson is at third base. But basically the Pirates olav the- same style ball , as the '58 crew, which finished second in the league race. Lacking great slug ging power, Manager Danny Mur taugh is banking on stout pitch ing and a brilliant defense to car ry the day. The ruffed grouse is also known as mountain pheasant, thunder bird, partridge and drummer.
