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.

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

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

BETTER AS A COACH
NEW YORK uP-Walter T. Mc
Laughlin never set any course rec
ords as a player but he's been
terrific as golf coach at St. John's

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
