TO BE MISSED Genial Bob Bonney, who departs his present job as the Klamath Falls Park and Recreation di rector as of today, is snapped at his desk by Herald and News photographer Don Kettler, in the midst of wrapping up final details in preparation for his move. Bonney will step into the same position in El Cerrito, California, Monday, June-1. Mixed Emotions Mark Departure By WAYNE SCOTT Herald end New Sports Editor It is with mixed emotions that the Bonney family. Bob. wife Pa tricia, and sons Tracy, 10. and Carter. 7. depart from Klamath Falls tomorrow destined for El Cerrito, California, their new home. Perhaps Tracy's observations best describe their feelings upon leaving the community which has been home since December 10, 1950. "Well. Dad. now that we will be Jiving so close to San Francisco Babe Ruth Schedules Complete Babe Ruth League officials and coaches met Wednesday night in the city hall and completed final arrangements and full scheduling for the coming summer Babe Ruth baseball season.. The meeting was the last to be held prior to the opening of league play at Conger Field Mon day, June 1. at 7 p.m. The open er, which finds both ends of the field in use, pits Eastside Elec tric against Moyina Heights on diamond No. 1 while Balsigers and K Amusement tangle on field No. 2. Following the opener on Conger the 12-team league moves into Gem Stadium Tuesday night. June 2, for a doubleheader, the first game starting at 6:30, the second at 8:30. For the balance of the opening week the teams will alternate be tween Gem and Conger. The first game of the season finds the "Cinderella team," Moy ina Heights matched with the vet eran Eastside Electric nine. The Moyina club was dubbed the "Cinderellas" because of the fact that the lack of a sponsor had .nearly caused the team to miss this year's action, plus the fact that the club was formed of play ers left over at the completion of the player "auction." New coach Vic Lancaster came forth at the crucial time and picked a team from among these would-be players and Harvey Mar tin and George Crane, the Moyina Heights builders, picked up' the necessary tab thus enabling the team to become the 12th qnd last team to Join the league. Alter, picking his team. Lan caster said, "We've got some good ballplayers on our club. We may nave come in last at the start of the season but I just have a hunch we won t be last at the close. The Babe Ruth season will cul minate. locally, with the staging of the district tournament July 30 through August 2 which will be followed by the state BR tourna ment August- 9 through 9, also at Gem stadium. Mustangs Toppled In Quarter -Finals Baltimore Orioles Sign Springer PORTLAND. Ore. (AP) The Baltimore Orioles signed Hugh Springer. University of Oregon pitcher, to a bonus baseball con tract Thursday. Newspapers placed the bonus "in five figures," but there was no official confirmation of this. - Baltimore scout Don McShane Mid Springer will report June IS to Vancouver, B.C., of the Pacific Coast League. .Springer had a 1.20 earned run average and a 7-1 record at Ore gon this season. He is 6-foot-l, 200 pounds and a righthander. I guess we'll be able to see Wil lie Mays play ball just about ev ery day. won't we? Huh? But Gee, Dad, what'll we do when we want to go camping and fishing?' Dad s answer, "We U come home to Klamath Falls, son. For Bob himself, a man with a growing family to raise and ambitions to satisfy, the new job, that of Parks and Recreation di rector in El Cerrito. the move is a stepping stone toward the success that probably every man wishes to attain in his chosen field. Bonney. who has served as an efficient, progressive, park and recreation director in Klamath Falls from December 1950 until today, when his resignation be came effective, said. "The peopli of Klamath Falls have been good to me, every step of the way. The Park and Recreation Committee, the city management, the people with whom I have worked over these years, and those I have become associated with through our work, all have my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I hate to think of leaving Klamath Falls and my only reason for doing so is the purely practical standpoint of any man who has set himself a goal to reach." During Bonney's tenure the Klamath Falls park system has developed from relatively few un developed facilities enjoying only partial recreational use to today's 490 acres of well developed, widely used parks. Bonney commented that, "ev erything good about the accom plishments of the Park and Rec reation Department, and the es tablishment and development of those facilities is a pure result of the interest and efforts of the people themselves. Whether it had been Bob Bonney or Joe Q. Doakes who took over this job in 1930 we would have more than probably come every bit as far. The people of Klamath Falls have an earn est desire to help themselves all I have done is to help them help themselves. I have honestly never seen a properly presented project for the mutual betterment of the community fail to be accepted here. Bonney went on, "In 1932 I was quoted editorially in the Herald and News as saying. Klamath Falls is a vigorous, robust com munity of rugged individualists.' I still feel this way and the rea son hasn't changed people here want to think for themselves and act for themselves and they do. Examples given by Bonney to prove his point include the self- development of areas and facili ties provided, by such groups as the archers, boaters, tennis play ers. Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, the YMCA, Camp Fire Girls, and lately, the Klamath Falls Little League and the Klamath Falls Art Association, fcvery athletic as sociation, men. women or chil drcn. takes hold and really goes to work when given the opportunity." Questioned concerning possible deficiencies yet existing in our recreational programs Bonney not ed that we had yet to reach a balanced physical and cultural pro gram with long range develop ment planning. He also listed a lack in the adult and golden age programs and cited a press ing need for a community recre ation center. Bob Bonney, ex-Park and Rec reation director of Klamath Falls tomorrow morning, defines "rec-i reation. an activity, either cul tural or physical, or both, which it satisfying, constructive, and en gaged in for its own sake, from which the individual derives fun. relaxation and pleasure." He'U be missed. MAUPIN An "obviously jittery squad of Malin Mustangs saw its hope of an Oregon State B base ball championship snapped abrupt ly as the Maupin Redsides won a 7-4 victory in the quarterfinals played here Thursday. The victory moves the Redsides into a semifinal game with Adrian next Tuesday wnue the loss means the end of competition for the Ma lm nine. The Mustangs returned to Malin immediately following the game. Maupin has a fine ball club and this Burgett iJoe. the win ning pitcher i is the best we have faced this year. He's fast and has good curve. stated Malin coach George Hanson. ' Although neither pitcher. Bur gett nor loser Randy Miller, at lowed an earned run over the seven inning distance, shaky field ing support on the part of both clubs toughened their chores Burgett allowed only three hits, fanned six and walked two Mustangs while Miller gave up six hits, struck out four and also issued only two free passes. The Redsides committed six fielding bobbles while the Malin club was charged with four. In the first inning the Mustangs got off to a three run bulge as three Redside errors combined with a base on balls to allow catcher Rick lllian. centerfielder Ron Mullanix and Miller to score. Leftfielder Don Johnson was cred ited with a pair of RBls although he got on through an error. the Maupin squad came back in the bottom of the first to count one tally off a walk, an error and a clean single by righttielder Herb Snodgrass. Snodgrass with two singles in four trips shared bat ting honors with Malin's lllian. 11 lian collected two for three. The Redsides caught up and passed the Mustangs in the last of the second on the combination of another walk, an error and a pair oi maupin singles. Down one run, 4-3, in the fourth inning a Malm threat which saw a pair of Mustangs get on the sacks was stifled when Johnson hit into a neat double play. The Maliri nine tied the count 4-all in the sixth when lllian scored on an error on pitcher Burgett after he had gotten aboard through an error on first sacker Frank Wall. He advanced on a single by Johnson. The Redsides cinched their win in the bottom of the sixth scoring three runs off three hits, a sacri fice and an error on leftfielder Johnson who lost the . ball in the afternoon sun.

Anyway Manager Cus D'Amato says his champion positively will risk his crown against Johansson. the undefeated challenger from Sweden, at Yankee Stadium, June 25. His statement came after pro moter Bill Rosensohn had blasted him in the newspapers and on radio and television. Rosensohn had charged that D'Amato told him he was thinking of moving Die fight out of New York. The manager was angry at the New York Athletic Commis sion's action in rejecting lunch eonette owner Harry Davidow s application to become the "10 per cent" manager of Johansson. "I feel that the commission acted precipitously, but in the public interest I feel obliged to abide by this' decision," said D'Amato In his two-page state ment. "At no time did I state that the fight would be held elsewhere than in New York." D'Amato added. "I hope that henceforth I will be able to concentrate on the job of getting Patterson ready to prove to all that he is the great cham pion I know him to be. As for Rosensohn's accusation that D'Amato had changed the terms of the promoter's share of the receipts, D Amato said that was not so. "I'm delighted over D'Amato's statement, said Rosensohn, "I'm happy it's all settled," said Johansson at his Grossinger, N Y.. training camp. "Cus docs the talking and the business." said the poker-faced champion at his Chatham, N.J camp. "I do the fighting." Thursday Results Pittsburgh 3. Milwaukee 0.

The traditional formation will be restored alter two hectic and costly prologues to the world's richest auto contest. Under .the old system, the 33 cars were lined up at the starting line with dead engines. Then the engines were started and the rac ers slowly followed the pace car until they were m proper positions. If the alignment was good, the race was on when they hit the starting line.

American Trio Still In Action SANDWICH, England AP) - The British Amateur golf semi finals today looked more like the semifinals of the U.S. National Amateur. Three Americans were among the last four survivors, with Eng lish champion Guy Wolstcnholme the only home-grown player block ing the way to the fifth all-Ameri-can final in history. The 6-foot-5 Briton was paired against 21-year-old Dean Beman of Silver Spring, Md. The other semifinal matched American Walker cupper Bill Hyndman of Abington, Pa., and Lt. Bob Magec, a little-known American Army oflicer from Newton, Mass. The semifinals are 36 holes. with the 36-hole final over the Royal St. George's Links Satur day. The last time three Americans reached the semifinals was in 1932. Hyndman, 43-year-old insurance broker who has yet to win a major title, is favorite for the champion ship after playing the finest golf of the week on this 6,728-yard links. Wally Panel Inks For NY Yankees PORTLAND (API Wally Pan el, versatile University of Port land athlete, has signed a base ball contract with the world cham pion New York Yankees for a small bonus. He will be graduated Sunday. Scout Eddie Taylor said Panel will report to the Yankees' Kearn ey, Neb., farm team in the class D Nebraska League. Panel batted .335 and drove in 16 runs for Portland this season. Saturday there will be an extra lap two in all. A car plunged into the pits in the 19o6 race, badly injuring crewman. The speedway then moved the pits away from the track edge and into the infield separated from the track by concrete wall and an access strip. Speedway cars do not have self' starters and it was thought the problem of moving portable start ers off the track would make the old start impractical. For two years, the cars have stayed in the pits, with drivers expected to drive onto the track and take po sitions behind the moving pace car. Two years ago, two cars tan gled the parade lap and were out of the race. Last year, the first three cars got away ahead of the pace car. After an extra parade lap, they finally got in line and then 15 cars banged togeth er on the first official lap, killing driver Pat O'Connor. In addition to returning to the old dead-engine lineup on the track, the Speedway has installed two-way radio communication be tween pace car driver Sam Hanks, the 1957 Memorial Day winner, and Chief Steward Harlan Fens ler, USAC oflicial in charge at the starting line. Fengler will be in contact, by telephone, with eight observers stationed around the track. For the first time, the pace car driver will know where every car is lo cated. The official notice to the driv ers warned that all must maintain their positions "until the pace car actually crosses the starting line ion the pit access strip) and the green flag is displayed as the pole car crosses the starting line."

Money isn't everything and right now Wilhelm is to the pennant-minded Baltimore Orioles. No wonder! The 35-ycar-old knuckleballcrl has won seven straight without loss. He has a spectacular 1.12 earned run average, the capacity to pitch every third day if neces sary, and the confidence that no one can hit him when he's right. Wilhelm s latest effort was a 5-0 victory over the Yankees Thursday night. The triumph boosted Baltimore to win l'i games of first place in the Ameri can League and extended Wil helm's streak against the Yanks to 21 1-3 consecutive scoreless innings. "There comes a time, sard the elated Richards after the game, "when a player is worth more money to a ball club than anyone could possibly pay for him. I wouldn't consider one mil lion dollars for Wilhelm." Baltimore 5, NY 0 Given a chance to start by Richards, the veteran National League castoff has now beaten the Yankees four straight times. During that span, he has allowed the world champions a tolal of two runs while pitching a no-hittcr and a one-hitter against them.
