Right getie live carpenters, Roy Gooing, Canahan and Lott Artman . . . and The old stands were torn down In nothing flat and Ihe project really got andrrway. A more willing group of work men would be hard to find. Said one.

The ladies could help maybe a group could get together and come up with some sandwiches and cof fee on the cool nights or cold drinks on the hot days when their husbands are busy helping on the project. More help is needed. "You don't have to be an engineer nor know a trade we've got something for you to do," urges Bane. "We plan to he playing on the new diamonds within three weeks," Bane added. w A news, note concerning the Compton. Invitational track meet in which Archie San Romani Jr., son of the famed distance runner, of the 30s. finished third in the mile with the fastest time ever run by a hig'- school athlete, 4:08.9. has some interesting dope in the background. Romani was beaten by Jerome Walters (4:06.2i and Bob Shankland, but that's not the point. Another lad entered in the .'race was Orange (Call High School's Dale Story. Dale smashed Dyrol Burleson's national prep mart last week with a 4.11.0 in the California state meet at Bakersfield. His new mark bettered Burley's record by 2.2 seconds. . . . That's moving. But then along came San Ro mani and that record filtered away in the dust. Story's la possible relation of KU's Don Slory) flashy Bakers field mile prompted a phone call to Len Surles. the ex-KU track mentor, who now teaches at Or ange High. Len, although not coaching now. lives only a few blocks from the California Slory and naturally has become quite interested in the lad. We quote from a letter sent by I(F Legion Schedules Practice Immediately following the Klam ath Kub-Weed Son Northern Cali fornia league baseball game this afternoon m Gem Stadium the American Legion baseball team will hold a special practice, accord ing to coach Hi Hatfield. The Legion nine was originally scheduled for a two-day. two-game series with Redmond there both -Saturday and today, but the games were canceled when it was learned that the Redmond group had failed to come up with a club for this season. The Redmond failure leaves only Bend to represent the Bend-Red-mond-Prineville area. The Klamath Falls Legion nine ripens its 1959 league schedule Wednesday. June 10. in Gem Stadi um when it hosts the Lakeview team in a one-game stand begin ning at t p.m. Saturday, June 13, the Legion naires will face the Rend club in a two-game series, the first an afternoon game, 2 p m., in Gem Stadium and the second, a mlht contest, being played as a Little Lease Ballpark benefit protect. The Little League benefit will start at 8 o'clock. Hatfield is still observing Le gion applicants, having approxi mately 25 players from which to pick hit 1959 permanent roster. He will release his final cnoices prior to the league opener with Lake view. Lefty Bill George Sold By Indians SPOKAN E I API Bill George, a left handed relief pitcher with an 0-1 record, was sold by the Spo kane Indians of the Pacific Coast League to Montreal of the Inter national League Saturday. George was let go to make room for Phil Ortega, the 19-year-old. fTS.Ono bonus pitcher signed by the parent Los Angeles Dodgers and assigr-d to Spokane. behind Sherman came aa ener Louie Stork, D. W. Sergent, Earl things began to fly. t7 CHARLIE BANE , . . Project boss Surles, "I always marveled at the great track and field marks post ed by So-Cal preps until this year. Now 1 know how it's done. There are so darned many of them that the percentage just nat ural takes care of furnishing outstanding marks. For example Dale Story was the only Orange County (pop. 850.000) high school er to qualify for-the state meet. Dale is a fine runner at every distance from 440 up. Recently he entered an 880 just for fun and turned in a 1:53.1 ... he kept up by breaking all cross country marks this season. Of course, in this climate he is able to run the year round, which is a great help." Len, after making friends with t)ale, mentioned that he had had a Don Story running for him at KU, so now Dale and Don are writing each other to determine whether they are related.' Incidentally, Dale will attend Oregon State College next fall. The Surles' seem real happy with their, new home he notes that they bought a new boat and since they live just a short way from Newport-Balboa Beach they have made good use of it. Len says, "Surprisingly, many of our friends spend their vaca tions in Oregon so we have been doing a lot of propagandizing for Frank Tucker and the KF Cham-, bcr of Commerce. We will stay here this summer but plan to drag our boat up to those fine Oregon Lakes next year. The Klamath Kubs open at Gem Stadium this afternoon. . . . But the preparations haven't been easy. Primarily due to the effort of two men. manager Irv Whitt and city councilman Jimmy Barnes, the Kubs are launched on another Northern California League base ball season. Financially the Kubs are having to go it alone this year, dependent entirely upon gale receipts for their very existence. In the past there have been sponsors to light en the load of Ihe cost of uniforms, hats, balls, travel to Weed, Mount Shasta, Vreka or Dunsmuir as the case may be, but this year such is not the case. Whitt and Barnes have, between them, shouldered the responsibil ity of seeing that Klamath Falls fans gel a chance to see good semi-pro baseball as well as Lit tle League, Babe Ruth and Ameri can Legion ball , , . and it's quite a responsibility. Barnes and Whitt aren't beefing mind you, but they are hoping that the fans will turn out for the games and make their efforts seem worth it. From where I sit. the Little Leagues, the Rabe Ruth Leagues and the American Legion are natural transitional stages for the development of a boy who plays baseball. t follows therefore that the Kubs are necessary to provide a spot for the hoy who wishes to further his ball-playing alter he has grown out of the lower age groups. Boost and bark Ihe Kubs every chance yon get. www Odds and Ends ... Oregon State College will be the richer next fall for another duo of ex-Pelicans . , , Jim Hall and Bob Drace. Both lads were main' stays on the KU basketball team and while Hall played baseball. Drace did pretty well for himself on the cinderpaths. Bob Petersen had previously signified his inten tions of attending the home of the Beaver?.

The Weed club is equally determined since they are also looking for revenge hav ing been unceremoniously dumped on their home grounds by Mount Shasta their first time out. "We are hoping for good turn outs this year in fact we just about have to have good atten dance or we will not be able to continue." noted an obviously wor ried Whitt.
