Klamath Pels Share Twinbill With SOC Champion Tornados By WAYNE SCOTT . Herald and News Sports Editor The unbeaten Southern Oregon Conference baseball champions, the Medford Black Tornado, saw its perfect record nearly smashed until a fateful sixth inning when leftfielder George Ice poled a two run triple that aided the "Big Last Place Yankees? Could Be NEW YORK (UPP This could be the day that staggers the imagination the day the proud, world champion New York Yankees tall into last place It will happen if the Yankees lose their day game to the De troit Tigers, current tenants of the cellar, who Tuesday night handed the champs their fifth loss in their last six games, 6-3, be hind lefty Don Mossi. It's a situation never dreamed of in the pre-season dope, when the Yankees were favored to re peat as American League champs. And, in his hour of desperate need, manager Casey Stengel finds himself calling on the lit tlest Yankee" of them all Bobby Shantz to hold off the barbarians at the gate. Stengel had planned to pitch World Series hero Bob Turley, but the burly Turley needs more rest. "I thought we did our best hit tin' in a long time last night," sighed Stengel. "But when we got the hitting we didn't get the pitching." That's a sad, familiar story to ether ball clubs, of course, but the Yankees seldom have found themselves m those straits dur ing the past 10 years as Stengel directed them to nine pennants. Now that the day of unexpected doom may be at hand, Stengel was taking it calmly, just as years ago he took defeat after defeat in stride as manager of hopeless Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves. He spoke wistfully in the New York dressing room of moves he would like to make, knowing that the only thing that really could help would be if the Yanks would start putting their heads together to score more runs (they left nine more runners stranded Tues ; day night.) "I got to go with young (Cletis) Boyer at third right now because he's lookin' all right," said Sten gel. "And I would like to give (Johnny) Blanchard a chance to catch I know he can hit but I would like to see if he's a big league catcher." "But," he added with the fa miliar twinkle, "I would like to win a game first before 1 try that." The last place Yankees? It could be. West Virginia baseball star, Jer ry West, not only is a defensive ace, but last season he averaged 2fc points a game.

The .Whitebirds roared back in the second game after being down, 5-1 in the-first inning to snatch a 9-8, five inning victory in the sec ond and non-counting half of the twinbill. The win gives coach J o h ii Kovenz' Medfordites a 7-6 confer ence record, entirely out. of reach of the balance of the league. For the Pels the loss was number four as compared to three wins for the conference season In the first game coach Deanlas ,credited 'h,eJ(win, whjle White's, KU nine got to Medford starling hurler, Tom Laurance. early. Pelican starter Blake Griggs reached him for a single in the first, setting the stage for three Pelican markers in the sec ond inning. An error on shortstop Cal Dean, singles by Pelicans Lar ry Bunyard and Steve Binney and a pair of walks off Laurance ac counted for the three tallies and the "lifting" of Laurance. Dennis Barr, Laurance's relief, gave up the fourth KU counter in the third after KU Pel first sacker Dean Dunson poled a towering triple that scored Don Gresdel who had gotten aboard via free pass. Barr, however, tightened up from here on and effectively stifled the Pel attempts, allowing only one base knock the rest of the way. Barr was credited with the vic tory while Pelican relief man Bob Wilkinson, the surprising fresh man, was tagged with the defeat Wilkinson who came in as relief for Griggs in the sixth found two Medford men on the sacks after two runs had already scored. An error by third baseman Larry Bunyard on a fielder's choice filled the bases. A disputed decision on the part of the plate umpire ended with Medford being allowed a run to walk home from third. Wilkinson was charged with a balk after Ko venz argued with the umpire who eventually reversed his original call. The walked-in run tied the score The heroes for the Medford squad were first baseman Lowell Dean and Ice. Dean and Ice each contributed three hits in four trips to the plate, one being a two run triple by Ice in the sixth. In the top of the seventh, with the score tied, Dean led off with a single, Ice singled, and then each scored when centerfielder Jerry Anderson followed .suit. A tower ing sacrifice by catcher Bob Pond put the icing on the cake. In the second game the Medford winning ways appeared set to con tinue as they reached Wilkinson, who started, for four consecutive singles. An error by second base man Steve Binney helped the Tor nado to count five runs before the fire was put out.

They're third, l'-j games shy of first, alter winning six of their last eight. But it hasn't been a breeze not when they've had to take three or four from front- running Cleveland and Chicago's White Sox to do it. Tuesday night, just 24 hours after Hoc Brown and Billy Loes combined for a shutout that knocked Cleveland out of first, youngsters Billy O'Dell and Jerry Walker ended Chicago s brief stay on top by beating the White Sox 2-1. Cleveland jumped back into the lead, a half-game ahead of Chi cago, with a 5-2 victory at Wash ington.

"It's a good ball club," the vet eran of many managerial and coaching jobs says of the team he suddenly found himself directing about three weeks ago when Bill Norman was fired. "The one thing wrong is. that when we have to go to the null pen we're in trouble. We could use one or two more starters, too. The Tigers' bullpen trouble trac es to the inability of Paul Foy- tack to perform as expected. He's started eight times and has yet to go the route. With Foytack faltering, it was necessary to bring in Don Mossi from the bullpen to take up the slack. Mossi has been doing fine in his new role, but is sorely missed in relief. The original Tiger bullpen had as its standbys Mossi. Ray Nar- leski and Tom Morgan. Morgan has been ill.. Narleski got away to a terrible start, but has been good in two of his last three relief stints. Dykes makes no secret of his hopes that a deal might be made for a pitcher or two. Dykes declines to take credit for the club's improved showing since he took over as manager. Prior to that time it had won 2 games and lost 15. Under his direction it has won 10 and lost S. "The hitting is good," he ob serves. "But unless we get com plete games from our starters we're in for a tough time." 21 WHIRLWIND Wind -Tunnel Mowing The 21-In.
