OREGON PAGE 1 B Dodgers Startling McDevitt Pitches 5 Hitter By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS " A four-game winning streak isn't much, but in the National League it means first place.

Today' s.Sport Parade Frank Gifford Foils Aged Frustration By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPIi It's dif ficult to imagine that Frank Gif ford, movie actor, model and all pro halfback, had anything to feel frustrated about. But he did. Through 12 years of football, four at the University of Southern California and eight with the New York Giants, -the collar ad Cali fornian wanted to be a quarter back. USC's two-platoon game placed him at defensive safety and with the Giants ne was loo valuable as a running threat. Then, too, he wasn t exactly Pel Boosters Meet Tonight The Pelican Booster Club has slated a full evening of enter. tainmcnt in addition to a full business agenda for the regular weekly session tonight at b:JU in the Chuck Wagon Restaurant, ac cording to club president Harold Howard. ' Klamath Union track coach Jim Inglesby will present movies of interesting track events in addi tion to a rundown of the prospects of the KU cinder squad in the coming district meet in Grants Pass. Coach Bob Johnson, whose ten nis team is sending four players to the stale championships this weekend in Corvallis, will also be on hand as will freshman track coach Gene Strehlou and Pel var sity baseball mentor, Dean White, Honored guests lor the affair are Larry Bunyard, Steve Bin- ney and Eslin Kiger. newly elected officers of the K C I u b. A number of important busi ness matters are to be discussed and all members and Klamath sports fans are urgently requested to attend. reaching movie stardom. True, he had parts in "Up Periscope" and "Darby's Rangers." but, he says. you had to look fast to see me. Then he did a teevee trailer for a gangbuster series but nothing happened so last year ha irritat cd the studio by choosing to re turn to football. Thus six weeks ago he sat down and wrote a letter to coach Jim Lee Howell asking for a chance at quarterback. Gifford was al most as surprised as anyone else when the Giants announced that he would be given a chance in this long-coveted spot. It also may cost one of Frank's best friends his job. mat would be Charley Conerlv, iiinora s roommate ana a man who for years has beaten off one threat after another to his job But at 38, Conerly is starting to show signs of the wear and tear handed out in the bruising pro cir cuit. The Giants think that with Con erly at the age where he can go at any lime, and with Utah s Lee Grosscup promising but complete ly untested, Gifford can get the job done. There are figures to substantiate this theory. lhe brown-haired Gifford has attempted 41 tosses on the pass or run option play from halfback during his seven years with the Giants. Ho. completed 19 passes 12 of them going for touchdowns. Only three were intercepted and this mark labels him one of the best running passers in the game. His biggest chore will be in learn ing to pass out of the pocket. JIM BEAM Killebrew Leading Jr. Loop By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two months ago Harmon Kille brew figured he'd have a success ful year if he stayed with the Washington Senators all season At the moment he leads the American League in home runs. ith a dozen: in runs batted in. ith 28. and in runs scored- with 26. In five previous tries with the Senators, since he became their lirst bonus baby in 1954, his total home run output was only 11, his RBI total was 30 and he had scored just 29 runs. The 22-vear-old third baseman known as a poor-fielding jolter ho never had a chance to play behind Eddie Yost, junked Wash ington's losing skien at three games Tuesday night, driving in live runs with a pair of homers for a 7-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. That left the surprising Sen ators fourth, three games behind Cleveland's first place Indians ho defeated the New York Yan kees 7-6. Chicago's White Sox re tained second place, l'.j games back,, with a 4-3, 12-inning vie lory at Boston-Kansas City's game at Baltimore was rameci out. Senators 7, Tigers 4 Frank Lary had the Senators blanked on three hits until the sixth inning when rookie Bob Al lison, who drove in the other two Washington runs, doubled.

The win gave the Ducks an 8-3 conference record. Idaho's Is 0-12. Killebrew's second homer put it away in the seventh against Ray Narleski, after losing reliever Dave Sisler (0-1) had loaded the bases with a pair of walks. Indians 7, Yankees 6 Unbeaten Cal McLish won his fifth for the Indians, who made it with the help of four unearned runs. Rocky Colavito, who had four hits, and Woody Held hom ered for the Indians against loser Art Ditmar (1-2). Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard and Yogi Berra homered for the Yanks before McLish, 33, gave way to the heat and humidity at New York Rookie Jim Perry saved it, blank ing the- champs n one hit while striking out four over the last two frames. Cleveland's winning run was set up in the fifth on an error by Berra who had set a major league record for catchers in his last game with a string of 148 errorless games since July 28, 1957. Chicago 4, Boston 3 All the White Sox runs came on homers. Starting right - hander Dick Donovan hit a two-run shot in the second inning and Al Smith' put an end to nine score less frames for Chicago with a two-run homer in the 12th off los ing reliever Murray Wall (1-D. Rookie Rodolfo Arias (2-01 was the winner, although giving up Jackie Jensen s eighth homer in the Bos ton 12th. The coming weekend spring sports program at Klamath Union High finds competition and ath letes flung to the four winds. In the only action scheduled al home the Pelican varsity baseball team hosts the Central Point Cra ter Comets in a Southern' Oregon Conference doublehcader starting at 1:30 in Gem Stadium Friday Because of previous rainouls and the nearness of the close of the season both games will count in league competition. Normally twinbill has a "counting" lirst game of seven innings and "non-counter" of five. Also scheduled for Friday work is the KU frosh track squad Coach Gene Strehlou and lib "baby" Pelicans journey to Med ford for the district meet. The freshmen will vie with six other squads, teams representing two Grants Pass junior highs, two1 from Medford and one each from Ashland and Central Point. Charged with perhaps the big "est responsibility of the full week end is the four man squad of Pel varsity tennis players who head for Corvallis and the state net championships which begin on Friday and culminate Saturday in the title matches. On Saturday afternoon the KU varsity track squad goes up against Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland and Central Point m the annual District 6 A-l track meet which is being held this year on the home grounds of the Cavemen Coach Jim Inglesby's thinclads are rated the number three team in the five-way hassle at Grants Pass. In their most recent outing, against Medford on Modoc Field, Friday, the Pels were defeated by a score of 81 2 3 to 40 1-3 in a display brightened only by Bob Drace who took first in the low hurdles, set a new school record in the highs and tied for first in the high jump. Previous to the Medford meet the Whitcbirds were felled by the Grants Pass Cavemen by an almost identical , 813i to 40'i. Winning their way into the slate! tennis meet this weekend off their performances in the District 6 A trials Friday and Saturday in Medford, were Jim Norland and Keith Baxter, both in the singles, and Jan Baxter and Jim Johnson who will make the trip in the doubles. The four will represent the Pels as defenders of the 1958 state co-championship shared with the Springfield Millers. The freshman track squad, one noted for smashing existing school frosh records throughout the sea son, gets a chance to make up for a pair of defeats suffered in the rain-soaked meet with North and South Grants Pass junior highs at Grants Pass the same day their elder brothers were whipped by the Cavemen. The Pelican baseball team, cur rently riding a "percentage fourth" behind the Comets, sees an ideal chance to pull away giv en a pair of wins over the Central Pointers on Friday. The KU nine compares a 1-3 record with the Comets' 1-2. The only other conference baseball game on tap for the week is the "crucial" scheduled between the Black Tornado and the Cavemen on the Medford home grounds Fri day afternoon.

(Big Ed) Walsh, one of baseball s greatest pitchers will celebrate his 78th birthday Thursday and he figures that cancer and all, "I ve got a few innings of living left." A year ago, everybody thought the old Hall of Famer's days were closely numbered. His chances of complete recovery re main dubious. But I'm looking Jt things bet ter now," the one-time scourge of the American League told a visit ing reporter. Life is like a ball game to me. When I was out there on the mound I never thought anyone could beat me. If they did, they'd have to go nine innings to do it. "That's lhe way it is now.
