OREGON PAGE 9 A Klamath Kubs To Meet SV Stars Journey Impends For Kubs Th fired-up Klamath Kubs. the local entries in the Northern Calif ornia semi-pro baseball league, take to the road this weekend for I Sunday meeting with the Scott Valley Stars on the Stars home erounds The Kubs beefed up with a pair of late-comers, pitchers Wayne Hironaka and Ed Vegley recently from college, hold a 1-2 league record to date after breaking into the win column for the first time with a deliberate 4-1 victory over the sharp Dunsmuir Merchant nine at Gem last Sunday. The Kub victory was the result of an overpowering bat attack which sent Dun'smuir'i Ronnie Cur tis, heretofore called the leagues' wtnnmgest pitcher, to the showers late in the game. The Kub stickers, led by pitcher-rightfielder Mike Do la n and catcher-third sacker Rube Johnson, who each banged-out three hits in five trips to the plate. The club, on an overall team ba ns averaged slightly less than a .333 percentage for the day's work, collecting 12 safe raps in 37 charg ed at bats. Of the top six regular Kub play ers, as shown by statistics, five are hitting at a better than .383 clip. Floyd Linderman, the power ful centerfielder. has six lor ten and a .600. He is closely followed by state policeman Rube Johnson who shifted from his chore as catcher to the third base corner for the Merchant game. Johnson has-10 hits in 17 trips for a .588. Newcomer Butch Dollar, who, although he had a rough day in the field in his opening stint at second base, came through with two hits in four trips against Duns muir and holds a .500. Dolan who handles an outfield post when not pitching, has four for ten, and a .400 mark. Dolan or the clubs onlywinning pitcher so far, Bob Lawery, will get the mound assignment Sunday. Playing manager lrv Whitt, who has displayed a powerful arm from left field, is crowding the lead ers with a .385 garnered off five mis in u inps. , nmu nts une home run and a pair of doubles to his credit already this season. Ranged behind Whitt, all with .200 marks or better, are catcher Boh Kelly who made his first start against Dunsmuir, pitcher Bob Lawery, first sacker Dean Dunson and third baseman Bill Worlein. Worlein has the only triple regis tered by the Kubs to his credit. According to manager Whitt. the club is rapidly reaching the form originally expected and with the added power to his pitching staff -feels that the team will be on top of the league in a short time. Current standings show three teams tied for first place while the balance of the league is crowd ed into the second place.

Griggs ap peared to be hooked in a tight pitchers battle with loser Jerry Anderson as the two matched ef forts for five innings. The Medfordites scored first when centerfielder Wayne Thomp son got four strikes in the first inning and ended up blasting a screamer to deep right center, good for three bases. He scored seconds later when Griggs loosed a wild pitch. The KF nine tied the count In the bottom of the fifth when left fielder Don Gresdel scored after singling; Gresdel advanced on a picknlf error by Anderson then romped home when rightfielder John Webb followed up with an other single. The Medford squad threatened seriously in the top of the sev enth when they scored one run off three singles and a sacrifice. Two successive strikeouts by Griggs, however, forced two of the runners to die on the sacks. The KF nine roared back for their two last ditch markers in the seventh when Webb singled with two out and Gary Head, who pinch-batted for Ross Paxton, was hit by the pitcher, putting two men on.

Mc Laughlin never set any course rec ords as a player but he's been terrific as golf coach at St. John's University. In the last three years the Redmcn have won 38 of 4(1 tests. The team was unbeaten in 1957 and 'again this year. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Whats with the Milwaukee Braves? They've lost 10 of their last 15 and have been shut out three times in the last five games. Is this the beginning of the end to their hold on the National League pennant? Or is this just another of those slumps, such as they had and shrugged off while winning the flag the past two years, LA 10-4, Braves 2-0 Either way, they have only a half-game edge left from what was a bulging, 44-game lead a month ago after dropping a twi-night doubleheadcr at Los Angeles Wednesday night. They were checked on five hits by lefthander Sandy Koufax while losing the op ener 10-2. then were blanked on two hits by Danny McDevitt, an other lefty, as the Dodgers look the second game 4 0. . That put second place San Fran cisco, a 7-5 winner over Cincinnati, just one game behind in the "lost" column and within .009 percentage pomts of the champs. The sweep hoisted the Dodgers into fourth place, one percentage point be hind Pittsburgh after the Pirates' 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Both the Dodgers and Hues are only 24 games from the top. As a refresher, the Braves blew almost all of an 84 game lead with a 3 8 slump in early Septem ber before winning the flag in 1957. Last year they dropped nine of 15 at this same stage of the race but came out of the spin by building a quick 34-game lead. They blew that, too. before taking over for good in July. They've lost behind their best pitchers in this present skid, with Lew Ruidclte dropping two, Bob Rush three, and Bob Buhl one. In Wednesday night's opener, south paw ace Warren Spahn failed to finish a five-run first inning for his third defeat in his last four de cisions. t Giants 7, Cincy 5 The Giants broke a 2-2 tie with five runs in the sixth against Or lando Pena '3 51 on three singles, one a two-run smack by Willie Kirkland, three walks and an er ror. Cubs, 5, Pirates 2 Cal Neeman, who singled and scored the tying run in the seventh for the Cubs, hit a three-run, m-side-lhe-park homer in the eighth to beat Pirate southpaw Harvey lladdix 14-5', who has lost three each driving in three runs. A five 10 Chicago. Bill Henry (5-3 won it in relief. Cards 10, Phils 4 The Cards made it out of 11 with Ray Jablonski and Bill White each driving in three runs. A five run fifth put it away against re liever llumberlo Robinson 1-1 while lefty Marshall Bridges held the Phils to five hits and one run for a winning, S 1-3-inning relief job in his major league debut. Orioles 4, Tigers 0 Young Milt Pappas has his first major league shutout, and he couldn't have picked a better time to nail it. The big right-hander, 20. put it away with the best pitching of his brief career Wednesday night for Baltimore, dropping Detroit's Ti gers 4-0 with a two-hitter and halting the Orioles' skid in the American League race. Pappas retired the last 11 men in a row while gaining a 6-3 record. That left the fourth-place Birds, who have lost five of seven since lying for first last week, 34 games behind Cleveland's league leading Indians, whose game at Boston was postponed because of cold weather. The loss barred the Tigers, who had won three straight, from a second place tie with the Chicago White Sox, beat en 7-3 at New York. Washington escaped a last-place tie with Bos Ion by beating Kansas City 7-2. NY 7, Chicago 3 The filth place Yankees re turned to .500 with their second straight over the White Sox. Mick ey Mantle's 14th homer, a two-on wallop into the third deck in right . field at Yankee Stadium, capped a wrap-up, five-run second inning against loser Ray Moore (1-51. Bob Turley 'S-7 made H six straight over the White Sox sine August. 1956, but needed Ryne Duren's relief over the last 2 2-3 innings. Solons 7, KC 2 Camilo Pascual '5-71. who had lost three rn a row and hadn't won since May 27 despite five consecutive complete games, handed the A s their fourth con secutive loss with an eight-hitter. He fanned eight and was backed by two-run homers from Rookie Bob Allison and Reno Bertoia. It was Allison's 17th, B e r t o 1 a ' s eighth, and boosted the Senators' AL leading total to 80. Ned Garver 15-5) lost it. Manager Harding Peterson of Wilson, N C. caught briefly for the Pittsburgh Pirates. ataaBBBBBaaBaBBaBBBBBBBBBBraBBjaaaBBBaaaBa OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE.
