Newspaper Page TextHERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Sunday. January 17. 19fi0 PAGE 1 B This afternoon's Pro Bowl .the football season for another MACS laetAtUBll !m v I .started, so . . . naturally, it's baseball. ' For this Job we call in one McKlnney, from Ml. Shasta. J. 0., skier ... he doesn t mind the snow and he s happy for the skiers on Kit. Shasta but he still would just as soon talk baseball. The following is a report from McKinney. who visited one of the real oldtimcrs of the diamond, lvon Howard, recently: By J. O. McKINNEY Guest Columnist "So you want me to tell you ol my baseball career? That's quite story!" This was lvon C. Howard talk lng. 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 1 had gone there to talk to the vet eran player. My desire was to gel elnfu Nnrman uantprl In 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 tne big league, i imeu 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 pitching 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 E. "Del" Howard, brother of the mascot, and one other whose name is now for gotten. Dummy Taylor, later a iine 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 such fine looking young men are deaf-and-dumb?" "Del" Howard, a most articulate man, replied: "Isn't it?" Another assignment on me way up was playing , with Goodland, 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 ether 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 with the St. Louis Browns. This was in spite of a shoulder injury that cut down his throwing ability. His timely hit ting, and speed on the bases were too good to be kept down. While a member of the Browns lvon recalls that he narrowly missed a chance at a World Series en honor that eluded him. He was sold to Philadelphia Athletics in 1914, but recalled after tickets to the Quaker City were secured The Athletics won the pennant, 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 tiino pnnM nnt rnrrv nn with a Daa arm. in ivzl came uie uig chance, and his greatest successes ' in baseball. He was chosen to man age Oakland in the Pacific Coast Flu Bug Hits East, ii r van Drocium uuwn 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 Steelers 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 Ray Smith. It's doubtful he'll play, either. Ernie Stautner, normally a de frnsive regular with the Steelers, was named to replace Smith. The two key illnesses are ex pected to make the underdog East game puts the wrapper on year and that Winter Mad- r I nr i ii ir 4 HinH niaalu time to get in a little plug for of our top correspondents, J.

Here his team was always in contention, won the 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 ds Jimmy Caveney and Buzz Arlett are but a few that were sent up the ladder. Seven players from the 1927 team went to the big leagues. Howard states 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 stales, 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 Flank 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. SOC Dumps OCE 72-58 MONMOUTH, Ore.

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, 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 i 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 and there were eight changes in the lead, most of them in the first half, which ended with Oregon- in front, 28-26.

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 Mcd 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 tie 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 Braves Beat Cincinnati, Mighty 'O' PEORIA, 111. (AP) - Bradley's Braves rallied in the second half to edge previously undefeated Cincinnati 91-90 Saturday night despite Oscar Robertson's record- breaking 46 points. Cincinnati, the nation's No. 1 team, led 47-44 at halftime before Alpha Saunders, Bobby Joe Mason and Chet Walker turned the tide for the Braves in the second half. Late in the game Cincinnati led 87 when Walker drove in for a layup to score and make it 89- for Bradley with 38 seconds left Robertson, who set a Robertson Fieldhouse record, had the ball and was pivoting for a shot when he stepped out of bounds. Bradley took over and with seconds left Carl Bouldin fouled Mike Owens who dropped in a pair of free throws to clinch the victory. -Bradley thus avenged its only defeat this season, an 86-71 loss at Cincinnati. Bradley, ranked fourth nationally, has a 12-1 rec ord and Cincinnati is 13-1. Bradley's trio of Walker, Saund ers and Mason more than offset Robertson's scoring spree. Walker scored 28 points, Saunders 22 and Mason 21.
