Newspaper Page TextHERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Monday. August 17. 1953 PAGE 1 B Quarterback Leads Late 49er Victory By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Y. A. Tiltle, San Francisco's balding quarterback with a pen chant (or last-second heroics, is a leading exponent of the blitzkrieg attack in the National Football League. Four exhibition games were played during the weekend. Each was a heart-palpilator. Each was a toss-up. Each was won in the last minute with electrifying plays. Bernards Tourney Champion PORTLAND (AP) - Barnard Motors of Portland defeated Ore gon City Dairy Queen 9-1 Sunday and won the Pacific Northwest Regional Connie Mack League , baseball championship. Oregon City, battling uphill from a loser's bracket, forced the double elimination tourney into a two-game final by winning the first Sunday 5-3 from the previous ly unbeaten Portland team. Portland went ahead 3-0 in the third inning of the first game as Bob Stamsos drove in one run and Ron Laughlin singled home two more. But Oregon City evened the count with three runs in their half of the inning, on Jim Sands ness' homer and a double by Mike Higginbotham. Oregon City added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Barnard opened the second game with three runs in the first inning and coasted to victory.

Tittle's was the most prominent example of the blitzkrieg and the most dramatic. The 49ers trailed Washington 24-20 Sunday. The stadium clock showed 59 seconds remaining. Tittle began to formulate moves. The 13-year pro veteran picked rookie Paul Lowe of Oregon State for the yeoman's share of the run ning duties. The 178-pounder re sponded with a key 40 - yard scamper. Nine seconds remained four plays later. Tittle had his forces massed on the Redskin 16. He faded back, picked out end Clyde Conner and fired a pass for the touchdown that gave the 49ers a 27-24 victory in their debut under new Coach Red Hickey. It was the same story Saturday. Zcke Bratkowski's toss to Rick Casares with 41 seconds remain ing gave the Chicago Bears a 19-16 victory over Green Bay. John Crow went 71 yards for a TD in the final three minutes as Chi cago's Cardinals edged Detroit 21-19. A 43-yard jaunt by Walt Kowalczyk midway of the final period provided the winning mar gin as Philadelphia defeated New York 21-17. Lowe made an impressive de but. Besides his 40-yard gainer, he romped 78 yards for a score on his first play as a professional Coming back from a 14-3 halftime deficit, the Redskins went ahead on Eddie LeBaron to Joe Walton pass and plunges by Don Bosseler and Mike Sommers. TJhen came the blitz. WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Sox, SP Leads Sliced Souchak To Rest With Rich Roseburg Clobbers Beavers ROSEBURG, Ore.

Additions Make Sox Sparkle By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS They laughed last- winter when Boston owner Tom Yawkey traded Jimmy Piersall, his flashy center fielder, to Cleveland for Gary Geiger, a nondescript flychaser and Vic Werlz, a fading first base man. Joe Cronin, then the Red Sox general manager, and Mike Hig gins, then the field manager, were in no mood for laughter. They were quite upset when Yawkey in formed them of the deal the first and only one he ever made. "It's your club," was the sub stance of their lukewarm accep tance of the boss' trade. "I'll take the responsibility," said Yawkey. The Red Sox owner can take the bows today for one of the best player transactions ever made by the club Geiger, only 22, has easily been the happiest development in the Red Sox' rebuilding program. The fast-developing youngster is hit- ling .279 with 10 home runs and 38 runs batted in. Wertz, though hampered by injuries, is hitting .280 with seven homers and 45 runs batted in. Piersall, who lost DETROIT (AP) Now -that I the regular center field job in Mike Souchak has decided to be- Cleveland to Tito Francona, is hit come one of the idle rich for a few months, perhaps other golfers will be able to register a little profit here and there. Big Mike won the $25,000 Motor City Open Golf Tournament Sun day without a struggle. He went into the final round protecting a seven stroke lead, shot a 69 and wor. by nine. The payoff was $3,500. That makes it $14,000 over the last five weeks and $46,000 for the year, in eluding some unofficial money like the $10,000 he won at the Tourna ment of Champions in Las Vegas "It all spends, though," said the easy-going former end and place- kicker from ' Duke University "But now I'm going home to rest I deserve a little time off, 1 think." Souchak. 32, set one record and tied another as he mastered Meadowbrook's 6.616-yard layout, which has a par of 35-3671. Mike's second round 63 tied the course record for 18 holes and his winning total of 268 was five better than Meadowsbrook's previ ous 72-hole total. Doug Ford finished strong with rounds of 67 and 70 to attain a sec ond place tie with U.S. Open titlist Bill Casper Jr., who had a final day 69. Each won $2,050. Art Wall Jr., the Masters Cham pion and winner of three other events, increased his winnings to $48,499, best on the circuit, fash ioning a 72 for a three-way dead lock for fourth place with Arnold Palmer and Dutch Harrison.

Patterson will get about double that." ting only .240 with three home runs and 21 runs batted in. Geiger and Wertz played key roles in the Red Sox near-sweep of a four - game series with the New York Yankees. It wasn their fault that the Yankees won the second game Sunday, 4-2 after the Red Sox had won the opener, 6-5. Kansas City defeated Chicago 7-2 and narrowed the White Sox first place lead over Cleveland to three games. The Indians lost an opportunity to pick up more ground when a violent rainstorm in Detroit postponed their game in the second inning after they had scored five runs in the first. Washington whipped Baltimore 6-1. BoSox 6-2, Yanks 5-4 The Red Sox scored all their first game runs and made all their hits six in the second inning, inflicting the seventh loss upon Duke Maas. Wertz ignited the six-run rally with a single. Geiger drove in the run that broke a 3-3 tie with a single. The pair, whose homers had highlighted Boston's winning nine run rally against the Yankees Friday night, acquitted them selves nobly in Sunday's second game. Trailing 3-1 in the sixth, the Red Sox came within an eye lash of tying the score. Geiger opened with a single, his third hit. After Pete Runnels singled, Wertz drove Geiger home with a long single, sending Runnels to third. Jackie Jensen smashed a ground er toward left field but shortstop Cletis Boyer converted it into an inning-ending double play with a fine stop. Mickey Mantle provided the lusty hitting for New York. He drove in two runs with a home run, his 24th of the season, in the first inning and scored in the eighth after walloping a double off the bleacher wall, 461 feet away. KC 7, ChiSox 2 Home runs by Bob Cerv, Pres ton Ward and Russ Snyder helped veteran Ned Garver gain his ninth victory as Kansas City made it two in a row over the White Sox. Dick Donovan, making his first start Jr Chicago since he suffered a shoulder injury July 21, was the loser. Nats 6, Orioles 1 Three Baltimore errors pre sented Washington with all but one of its six runs. Loser Jerry Walker gave up nine hits includ ing a triple and single by" catcher Clint Courtney, who drove in two runs. Pete Ramos allowed nine hits for his 11th victory.

After Stadium SEATTLE (AP)-Paciflc North-! west Sports Inc. will make anoth er try to obtain use of the Univer sity of Washington stadium for professional football. The board of regents has turned down such proposals before, ap parently fearing a loss of gate receipts at the university's own football games. Willard Rhodes, a leader of Pa cific Northwest Sports, revealed Saturday the group has been in vited to join the new American Football League provided it can use the university stadium. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ernie Banks, Chicago's slugging hortstop, may become the first player in National League history to be voted the circuit's most val uable player in two years in succession. Two National Leaguers Stan Musial and Roy Campanella won the coveted honor three times and two others Rogers Hornsby and Carl Hubbell won it twice but nobody has done it twice in succession. Banks strengthened his claim Sunday, banging a two-run homer his 36th of the season as the Cubs defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-4 for their third victory in the four-game series. Ernie also was on base when Lee Walls smashed a three-run homer off loser Johnny Antonclli to break a 2-2 tie. Ernie, batting .312, leads both leagues with 112 runs batted in and is tied for the lead with Wash ington's Harmon Killebrew in home runs. Last year he led both leagues with 47 home , runs and 129 runs batted in. Despite the defeat, the Giants retained their 2',i game lead over Los Angeles when St. Louis de feated the Dodgers 5-3. Milwau kee's third place Braves split with Pittsburgh, winning the second game of a doubleheader 5-2 after the Pirates had won the opener 2-1. Philadelphia swept a twin bill from Cincinnati 8-5 and 6-0. Cubs 5, Giants 4 Banks was an unexpected start er. He had been hit on tne DacK by a pitch Saturday and doctors said it would be several days before Ernie would be able to play. 1 Bob Anderson was the winner but he needed help in the eighth inning from Don Elston, who struck out pinch hitter Felipe Alou with two runners on base. Willie Mays drove in two Giant runs with his 21st homer. Cards 5, Dodgers 3 Larry Jackson pitched a 10-hit-ter as the Cards evened the four game series with Los Angeles. Bill White and rookie Gene Oliver drove in all St. Louis' runs. White knocked in two with a single and his 11th homer. Oliver had a two run single and a sacrifice fly. Roger Craig was the loser. Four were ejected in the argument- filled game, manager Solly He- mus, Don Blasingame and Ken Boyer of the Cards and Duke Snider of the Dodgers. Bucs 2-2, Braves 1-5 Bob Friend, after seven failures, finally won his 100th game, fifth of the season. The Pirates' 22 game winner of 1958 was tagged for 11 hits in the opener but his mates helped him with three dou ble plays and relief pitcher Bob Porterfield came to his rescue in the ninth when the Braves got their lone run. Dick Stuart drove in both Pittsburgh runs off Juan Pizarro with a homer. Warren Spahn won the second for the Braves, doling out eight hits for his 16th triumph. Rookie Lee Mays and Frank Torre, with two hits and two runs each, paced the Braves' nine-hit attack. Phils 8-6, Reds 5-0 Shortstop Joe Koppe hit a three run homer to feature a six-run sixth inning attack in the first game and Don Cardwell pitched a six-hit shutout in the second game to highlight the Phils' double victory over Cincinnati. Wally Post's 15th homer, with a man on base, in the first inning, off loser Jay Hook, was all Cardwell needed. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Portland's Pacilic Coast League baseball team, still in first place but by the slimmest of margins, expects to play tonight before its 200.000th home fan of the season. The Beavers divided a twin bill against Salt Lake City Sunday, winning 6-5 then losing 4-3, as 5.208 tans looked on. It will take nearly that number tonight to hit 200.000 for the year to date, but the two pitchers with the league's best records will oppose each other and another lure will be the fact that first place in standings will be at stake. Vancouver came within a half game of the lead Sunday, defeat ing Phoenix 2 0, while Salt Lake City dropped to third, a full game back of Portland, in the split. Tonight's Portland pitcher will be Ken Johnson (15-5) and Salt Lake's Dick Hall (14-4). Seattle and San Diego also split, the Padres taking the first game and the Rainiers the second one The score was 2-0 each time. The loss ended an ll-game winning streak for Seattle. In a batting battle at Spokane the Indians were outhit 13-12 but managed to come out the winner on the scoreboard, 11-10. Seven home runs sailed over the wall, pushed by a 30-mile wind. Vancouver hurler George Bam berger, showing almost perfect control" again, recorded his eighth victory against five losses. Bam berger knocked out two doubles and a single in three trips to the plate. , On the mound he scattered six Phoenix hits and issued no walks. He struck out five. Only ' three Phoenix players reached second base. Phoenix pitcher Marshall Renfroe shut the Mountics out un til Bamberger doubled to deep right center in the sixth. The keen-eyed pitcher went to third on a sacrifice by Marv Breeding and scored the winning run when Jim Finncgan pulled off suicide squeeze. Dick Smith and Ken Retzer of San Diego accounted for the scor ing in the first game at Seattle. Smith got on base by walking in the first. He scampered to third when Don Dillard hit a double to right field. Ken Kraynak hit a fly to the same area and Smith scored after it was caught. Retzer tallied in the second. He singled. Then Billy Hunter singled and Retzer moved ahead. Then Steve Jankowski singled tp right. Retzer went to third. He made it home when pitcher Dick Stigman hit one to second baseman Cal Bauer, who threw wide. at second A wild pitch in the ninth and a triple in the seventh accounted for the winning runs at Portland. Salt Lake's Jim Umbricht threw the wild one to score Milt- Graff in the final inning of the opening game. In the second inning, the Bees had spurted to a 5-0 lead. Sam Miley tripled with the bases loaded. Jim Baumer doubled Mil ey home and Baumer raced home on Chuck Harmon's single. Baumer tripled in the linal in-i ning of the second contest after Hugh Pepper walked. The Bees took an early lead in the second game, too, 3-0, and Portland again wiped it out. But this time the Bees came back. In windy Spokane, Frank How ard and Tony Roig each hit horn ers for the winning Indians and Tom Davis added another. Al Heist hit a pair for the Solons Sacramento took a fat lead with a live-run second inning, three tallies on Heist's first blast. Spo kane more than balanced this with a seven-run third as Howard and Davis both lofted balls over the fence. Slugger Baffles Medicos CHICAGO (AP)-lndestrucliblc Ernie Banks long has amazed the baseball world wilh the power he generates within his lithe body. The Chicago Cub shortstop now is baffling medical science. Banks, who easily could become the first to be named the National League's most valuable player in two successive seasons, was hit in the back by one of Jack San- ford's fast balls in the first inning of Saturday's game against San Francisco. The 28 - year old shortstop cringed with pain but continued to play. By the sixth inning he was forced to leave because his shoul der stiffened. Doctors said it would be three or four days before he could play again. Chicagu Cub Manager Bob Scheffing said "we'll wait and see." Banks showed up at Wrigley Field Sunday and went to the rub bing table. After some 40 minutes of heat treatments, he suited up and took his position on the field. Willie Mays hit a two run homer in the first inning to put the Gi ants ahead. Banks came up in the bottom of the first with one on and two out and hit his 36th hom er into the left field bleachers. Amazing? "Not when Banks' concerned." said Scheffing. "If he isn't the most valuable player in baseball then I don't know who is. "He's no holler guy," said Scheffing, "but he's our steadying influence on the field." Banks, who leads the league with 36 homers and 112 RBI could become the second player to lead in both departments two years in a row.
