IVON HOWARD
. . bushes to majors
This afternoon's Pro Bowl game puts the wrapper on
.the football season for another year and that Winter Mad
ness, basketball in some circles, is just getting nicely
.started, so . . . naturally, it's time to get in a little plug for
baseball.
For this Job we call in one of our (op correspondents, J. O.
McKinney, from Ml. Shasta. J. 0., like myself, is not an exactly avid
' skier ... he doesn't mind the snow and he's happy for the skiers
on Mt. Shasta but he still would Just as soon talk baseball.
The following is a report from
McKinney, who visited one of the
real oldtimers of the diamond,
lvon Howard, recently:
By J. O. McKINNEY
Guest Columnist
"So you want me to tell you of
my baseball career? That's quite
a story!"
This was lvon C. Howard talk
ing. He was sitting in the living
room of his splendid country estate
in the Siskiyou foothills. Norman
Swan, a college baseball pitcher
with a hop on his fast ball, and I
had gone there to talk to the vet
eran player. My desire was to get
; a story. Norman wanted to sit at
the feet of the player whose wise
' guidance has sent so many rookies
to the big leagues, lvon was asked
to tell the whole story.
' "That's impossible," he stated
firmly. "During my tenure in base
ball, I went from the scrubbiest
' bushes to the big league. I filled
about every position from mascot
' to manager. Never won too many
medals, but I got by. And they
tell me I was a real good mascot."
The veteran's eyes, bright as
when he was looking over the
Ditching of the best in the busi
ness, twinkled as he recalled his
mascot assignment. It was with the
Mattoon, Illinois, Independents. The
team was made up of deaf mutes
save two players who were nor
mal. One was George b. uei
Howard, brother of the mascot, and
one other whose name is now for
gotten. Dummy Taylor, later a
; fine big league pitcher, was the
mainstay on thev mound for the
Mattoon club.
An incident recalled by lvon was
when two young ladies passed the
."team sitting on the bench, and one
said: "Isn't it a shame that sucn
fine looking young men are deaf-
and-dumb?"
"Del" Howard, a most articulate
man, replied: "Isn't it?"
The ladies fled in confusion.
Another assignment on the way
up was playing with Ggodland,
Indiana, in what was known as
the Wagon League; It was a loose
ly organized circuit. The players
went from town to town via horse
drawn conveyances. lvon, being
farm raised, was driver. That was
in 1904.
The teamster must have shown
other abilities, In 1905 he played
with Omaha in the Western League.
, Next step was to the Coast League
with Los Angeles, Angels. In 1908,
Howard took the base running
honors, and the team took the
league pennant. lvon believes that
with the recent passing of another
of that old guard, Deacon Van Bu
; ren, that he is now the sole sur
vivor. The climber went to the big
leagues wilh the St. Louis
Browns. This was in spite of a
. 6houlder injury that cut down his
throwing ability. His timely hit
ting, and speed on the bases were
too i!ood to be kept down.
While a member of the Browns
lvon recalls that he narrowly
missed a chance at a World Series,
an honor that eluded him. He was
sold to Philadelphia Athletics
' 1914, but recalled after tickets to
' the Quaker City were secured.
The Athletics won the pennant,
V only to be badly outclassed by the
Boston Braves, of the National
League, in the fall classic.
"I've always felt," said lvon
"that I might have hit a few off
Rudolph, Tyler, and James, but
I'll never know."
. In 1915, Howard was traded to
the Cleveland Indians, also in the
' American League. There he stole
' 29 bases while playing in 103
games. Ray Chapman, playing in
the entire 154 scheduled games,
stole but 37 to lead the league.
' The fine hitting and base run
ning could not carry on with a
' bad arm. In 1922 came the big
chance, and his greatest successes
' in baseball. He was chosen to man
. age Oakland in the Pacific Coast

League. Here his team was always
in contention, won tne pennant
once during hs eight years there,
and he set new records for de
veloping young players. The sale
of Lynn Larry and Jimmy Reese
to the New York Yankees, while
not a top sale, stands high when
$135,000 was paid for the young
sters.
Monte Pearson, Pete Daglia,
Howard Craighead, Ernie Lombar-
di, Jimmy Caveney and Buzz Arlett
are but a few that were sent up

1927 team went to the big leagues
Howard stales that his greatest
thrill in a ball game came while
with the St. Louis Browns. He bat
ted in the only run of a game
with the Washington Senators, with
Walter Johnson pitching. It en
abled George Sislcr, pitcher-first
baseman, to b e c o m e a winner
against the "Big Train," an ambi
tion he always cherished, but
achieved but once,
The worst play he ever made,
he states, was while with Cleve
land. Cleveland was leading in the
last of the ninth, 1-0 over the home
team, Detroit. Two were out, Stan
ley Coveleski pitching great ball
for the Indians. An easy one-hop
ground ball to lvon at third base
was a natural out. But by some
quirk, the throw to first base went
into the stands. Two runs scored
and Cleveland lost.
He considers Walter Johnson,
Earl Hamilton, Eddie Plank and
Dutch Leonard the best pitchers he
ever faced, but said on certain
days they were all tough.
Today he enjoys living the life
of Riley, while watching mountain
quail come into his, yard daily;
and deer feed in his meadow, His
only daughter lives nearby. Her
two children visit their grandpar
ents; the grandson appears
headed for the big leagues, coached
by the old veteran.
But best of all, he married his
boyhood sweetheart, and they cele
brated their Golden Wedding anni
versary a few weeks ago.
Oregon Tech's Owl basketball
team finally hit its stride Satur
day night and crushed the East
ern Oregon College Mountaineers
90-65 in the second game of a two
day stand at Oregon Tech.
Friday night the Owls picked up
their first victory of the 1960
Oregon Collegiate Conference ac
tion by squeaking past the Moun
ties 64-63 after blowing a 15 point
halftime lead. The Tech quint now
owns a 2-2 conference mark and
stands 3-8 for the overall season.
In other conference action Sat
urday night the Oregon College of
Education five was defeated by
Southern Oregon College 72-58. The
win tied SOC with the Owls for

EOC is 1-3 in league action and
3-11 for the full season to date.
The Owls, whose coach, Wally
Palmberg, had inaugurated a two-
platoon system Friday night in an
attempt to get his offense rolling,
were down 22-15 with 7:30 left in
the first half but an intercepted
pass by Charlie Wilson launched
a drive that boosted the Techsters
to a 40-29 halftime lead, In the
last four minutes of the period,
after they had' tied the count 26
all, Gene Branson, Paul Layher,
Dennis McKee and Jack Horton
poured on the coal and started
the. runaway.
Branson, with 22 points that in
cluded a variety of shots, was the
game high pointer. McKee was the
number two producer with 18.
EOC's Mel Holmes hit 16 to land
the number three spot and team
mate Ron Hunt was next with 14.
The Owl starting five, the "run

Flu Bug Hits East,
Van Brocklin Down
LOS ANGELES (AP) Norm
Van Brocklin, who was to quar
terback the East in Sunday's pro
bowl game, is down with the flu.
His physician Saturday pro
nounced him a doubtful starter.
Bobby Layne of the Pittsburgh
Steclers was named to replace the
old pro from the Philadelphia Ea
gles if he can't make the game.
Also hit by the flu was another
East starter offensive guard Jim
Rav Smith. It's doubtful he'll
play, either.
Ernie Stautner, normally a de
tensive regular with the Steelers,
was named to replace Smith.
The two key illnesses are ex
registered 18-29 tries at the foul
line.
EOC hit only 21 field goals and
a miserly 23 for 43 from the char
ity mark.
Branson hooked, tipped and
drove for seven field goals and
hit a blistering 8-9 from the foul
line in racking up his 22. He also
lead the Owl rebounding.
McKee, whose deceptive moves
beneath the bucket and snapshoot
ing from outside collected eight
field goals, hit 2 for 3 at the
foul line.
Holmes hit seven field goals and
2 for 3 at the gift mark. Pasco
Arritola, the Mount's leading scor
er before the trip to Klamath
Falls, was held to 10 points and
took a back seat to the Owl's
Layher on the boards.
Friday night the Owls' two pla
toon system began to pay off af
ter the first ten minutes of play.
During the opening stages of the
first half the Owls and the Mounts
battled on almost even terms. Af
ter alternating leads for six min
utes, Palmberg replaced his "run
and shoot" five with a complete
new crew composed of Branson,
Guill, Ramseyer, Horton and
Johnson who took over as the
board showed 14-12 for EOC. The
slowdown" squad ran the count
to 24-20 with 8:40 left in the half
and the first five came back.
From here on the Techmen
pulled away to an easy 39-25 lead
by the end of the half.
The first platoon, Oliva, Zitek,1
Layher, McKee and Koontz, opened
the second period but the dis
tance narrowed to 42-33 with four
minutes. Again the squads were
switched but the Mounts seemed
to get stronger.
Arritola, Chase and D a r r e 1 1
Jones collaborated on a barrage
of two-pointers to close the gap
while the Owls seemed to run out
of gas. r " '"'' - - '"
In the closing five minutes of
the game the Tech lead was never
more than four points." With 59
seconds remaining in - the game
and the score 64-61, an Owl weave
blew up when McKee cast off from
near the corner and missed. The
ball was rebounded by the Mounts I
and with two quick passes brought
the count to 64-63 as Chuck Barn
hart hit an easy layup.
On an inbounds play after an
EOC time out McKee intercepted
a pass and drove for the bucket
but again missed. Time ran out
before the Mountaineers got an
other shot.
McKee with 14 points was high
for the Owls, just two short of
Arritola's game high of 16. Bran
son hit for 13 and Oliva for 10.
Chase counted 13 for EOC.
Techmen Jack Horton and Paul
Layher, both of whom had a good
night on the backboards collected
10 and 20 rebounds respectively
to account for the majority of the
Owls' total of 55.
The Owls scored at a 1.316 clip
from the floor while the EOC quint
hit an even .400. At the foul line,
however, the Owls racked up a
.667 as compared to EOC's .281.

AAedford Raps I(U 64-50
In Second Round Opener
MKDFORD (Special) A' slow
start for the Klamath Union Peli
cans combined with some brilliant
scoring on the part of Medford's
Jerry Anderson were big faclors
in the Pelicans 64-50 loss to the
Black Tornado on the Hcdrick Jun
ior High court Saturday night.
The defeat marked the second
in Southern Oregon Conference ac
tion for the Klamath Falls quint,
both of them at the hands of the
Medford club. The win was Med
ford's fifth straight league con
quest.
Junior guard Freddie Bichn
whipped in the first two points for
the Pelicans giving them a 2-2 tic
with the Medfordites, the last time
it was to happen during the ball
game. '
By the time the game was five
minutes old the Tornado had
racked up a 10-3 lead and they
went on to a 16-5 margin by the
close of the first stanza. At half
time they led 39-21, and faded a
bit in the third to a 46-34 bulge
at the end of the third frame.
Anderson, the game high-scorer
with 19 points, blazed along the
base line for 15 of his total in
the big first half.
Bichn hit five field goals and
3-5 at the foul line to lead the
KU scorers with 13. Dean Dun
son, with 12. Bruce Brickner with
II, and Paul Bishop with 10 were
next for the Pelicans.
Lowell Dean, who broke the
scoring ice for Medford was next
to Anderson with 14.
A powerful Medford defense kept
the KU quint from getting started
while the Pelican defense sagged
face of the powerful Medford
offensive during the first frame.
