By ER LOPAT Former Yankee Pitching Are Written for AP Newsfeatures My best advice to a young pitcher is that he stay away from trick deliveries like the screwball and knuckleball. A pitcher should learn control first. , The Gun Store's 1R- Wednesday Bight victory over Moyina Heights In Babe Ruth Action on Conger Field, earned the victors -a one- half game lead over the rest of the sack in BK play while on the other diamond Crater Lake Ma chinery was busy handing M. L. Johnson their initial defeat of the season, 25-1 1 in a game which was played under protest. The difference in the ball game was in the 19 bases on balls given Up by three Moyina hurlers. Both squads collected only seven base hits while Gun Store was charged with 'four errors and Moyina was charted with two. John Elliott garnered a pair of ingles and Mike Malley and Ross Griggs both rapped doubles for the winners Jim Nelson poicea brace of singles for Moyina.

Sugar Hart Beats Logart CHICAGO (AP) Garnet (Sugar) Hart sat in his dressing room. wiping from his face the blood of his latest ring opponent, and set his sights high for his future in boxing. He wants to meet Don Jordan the welterweight champion, right away. "He and I could have a real fine time in the ring. I can whip him," the division's No. 1 con tender said Wednesday night after winning a unanimous 10-round decision over Isaac Logart in Chicago Stadium. "We're still chasing Jordan for a title fight because there's no one else to fight in the 147-pound class," said Hart's manager, 'Mar ty Stein. "But if we can't get him right away, what about middle weight champion (Sugar) Ray Robinson?"

Starting out, a boy's best pitch should be his fast ball. It may be all he has. but that's enough, especially if he can put the pitch in the strike zone. I learned two things from prac tical experience. They are rhythm and coordination. Put these two things together and you will get control. Unless you get the two you may never acquire control. Get your pitch in the proper groove, and with stuff on it. The curve ball should come into use only after a boy perfects his last ball. The curve is more dif ficult to get started, although some youngsters pick it up eas ily. A teen-ager must start on the curve gradually. It takes much practice to get the proper spin on the ball for the curve to break properly. A youngster often worries about how to hold the ball and from which posiliun to throw it lover hand or three quarters). He should throw from the position that helps Hiim feel comfortable. Once he gets that comfortable leeling he can get his rhythm. Otf that will come control. But he must have coor dination. These things can be de veloped with constant practice. One of the musts is that a pitch er should be relaxed at all times. Now by that I don't mean he should slop all over the place. When a pitcher is relaxed his muscles react to what his mind tells them. If tension builds up in the body a pitcher is not as fluid as when he's relaxc- Tension causes wildness. For example, when a young ster throws batting practice and every pitcher should do this when he's not pitching a game he is relaxed. He oltcn has good stulf on the ball. The minute the same pitcher gets in a little jam in a ball game he sometimes tightens up, gets to pressing a bit and blows sky high. Confidence is half the battle. A pitcher should have confidence in himself regardless of how many runners are on base. When you get a chance, look at Whitey Ford or ( Bob Turley of the Yankees. Early Wynn of the White Sox or, in the National League, Warren Spahn of the Braves. Robin Rob oils of the Phillies or Bob Friend of the Pirates. They are relaxed pitchers. They have that fine rh,thm and coordination. They have control. The big bats of Ron Rube Johnson and Floyd Linderman, the top two batters on the Klamath Kub roster in early season local-semi-pro baseball, get the acid test when the Kubs host the league leading Dunsmuir Merchants in Gem Stadium Sunday afternoon. Catcher Johnson and centerfield- er Linderman. sporting .583 and 571 averages respectively, are charged with spearheading the Kub attack as they tangle with the .Merchants in quest of their first victory of the season. The Kubs stand 0-3 thus far. Sunday the Kub stickers face the Northern California League's winningest pitcher. Ronnie Curtis, who has been credited with both the Merchant victories so far. Cur tis, who guided the Dunsmuir nine to a 4-3 win on the Mount Shasta grounds last week, spaced six Shasta hits and pounded a game winning triple for good measure. Other league action set for the weekend finds Yreka at Weed and the Scott Valley Stars at Mount Shasta. Kub statistics released Wednes day show Johnson, the husky back stop, a state policeman by trade at the top of the Klamath hitting department with seven hits in 12 trips to the plate with 4 RBIs In the Kub s last outing Johnson poled two smgles and collected three RBIs before having to quit the game midway in order to re port to work. Crowding Johnson with a cool .571 is Linderman with three base the 'hits and a double in seven times at oai. Linaerman nas piayea in Athletic Director Awaits Applicant two games as compared with John son's three. Long ball hitters on the Kub lineup are led by player-coach Irv Whitt who has appeared in three games, collected four for nine, including a homerun and two doub les, four RBIs and an average of .444. Just ahead of Whitt, in percen tages, is Arve Nelson who has played in only one game, register ing one for two and a .500 mark. Next to Whitt is pitcher Bob Lawery who holds a .400 in two games off two hits for five trips. Firstsacker Dean Dunson has 3 for 11 in three contests and a mark of .273. Third baseman-fielder Bill Wor lein has a .200 off one for five, while Mike Dolan, Don Dexter, and Bob Janes have each rapped a single and shortstop Ron Owings, a double. The Kub pitching staff has yet to break into the win column with hurlers Lawery, Dolan and Janes each charged with a loss. The only other Kub starter, young John Bianchi, suffered through a long inning against the American Legion in a practice game but was not charged with the defeat.

(API Trying to pick the winner of the 59th National Open Golf Champi onship starting today is as useless as trying to hit a gnat with a peashooter. There are so many unpredicta ble factors involved in the 105-man field that such an able and neutral observer as Jimmy Demaret said the 72-hole championship offers the greatest opportunity for an amateur victory since Bobby Jones stumbled m to tie Al Espinoso 30 years ago, then drubbed his pro rival in a 36-hole playoff. Jones also won the next year en route to his Grand Slam ol taking the British and U.S. Open and amateur lilies. Since then only one amateur, Johnny Good man in 1933, has won the Open crown. No one, least of all dapper De maret. really expects an amateur to win. - "But I look for an amateur to be in there with a chance to win when they start the final round Saturday." Demaret said. De maret chose not to compete this year. , 'Of course, man against man. you can t pick anyone to beat Hogan and Snead," he said. But Charlie Coe (U.S. amateur cham pion) is one of the best golfers in the world. And Deane Beman 'British amateur titleholder) and Bill Hyntfmaa (runnerup to Be man) are good golfers.
