HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Kails, Oregon Thursday. July IS. 1963 PAGE 1 D Falcons Ihsl Medford Dm Playoff Contest V By JERRY WAGGONER Herald and Newt Sports Editor ' Tonight is the big night for the Klamath Falls Falcons. It's Uie night when all the stops are pulled with the hopes that they might gain the state Amer ican Legion playoffs. The Falcons will host the Mcdford team in a one-game "sudden death" playoff at Gem Stadium tonight at 8 o'clock. The winner of this game will move into the state playoff first round against the coast winner, North Bend. That will be a best two-of-thrce go. The two clubs finished in a tie for the title of the Southern Division Area 4 title Tuesday night when the Falcons fell be fore the four-hit hurling of Stu Young in Medford. 5-0. They therefore share the champion ship and this game tonight will I t- have no bearing on the league title, but rather wholly is for deciding the state playoff team. The Falcons figure to have the slight edge in this contest tonight because of the home field advantage and the fact that they shouldn't be facing live offerings of Young, one of state's best hurlers. He pitched the entire game Tuesday night and the Medford coach prob ably will go with big ifill En yart, a fire-baller. Coach John Paxton also used his top hurler in Rich Jack son at Medford and will put Gary Benson on the hill to night. His last outing was a no hit contest against Ashland Sun day, his second such perform ance against the Ashland con gregation. The Falcons will need to play one of their finer ball games in order to w in this all-important game and they have the equipment to do it. The Med ford club is knee-deep in win ning tradition and likes that w inning outcome. That attitude will be a hard thing to beat. Medford used some very timely and well-placed hitting Tuesday night for live win over the Falcons. They got only six hits off Jackson but four of them were doubles with runners f j jr it 'J4 : v w FALCONS IN PLAYOFF TONIGHT This group of Klamath Falcons will host the Medford American Legion nine tonight at Gem Stadium at 8 o'clock in a playoff game with the winner going into the state Le gion playoffs. The winner will take on North Bend in the best fwo-of-three series at a site and date yet undetermined. The Falcons are, bot tom row, from left to right, Denny Coleman, Lanny Guyer, Dave John son, Marv Yunck and Rich Grow. The middle row includes Larry Smith, Rich Jackson, John Parisotto, LeVoy Young and Larry Binney. Tne back row has Legion team leader Harold Howard, Jay Paxton, Gary Benson, Mike Kitching, Jim Jackson, John Grau and manager John Paxton. Moore Throws Second Mo-Hit BR Came on base and four of the six safeties came in the first two innings when they scored all five of their runs. This will be the main problem of Coach Paxton tonight to have the Falcons ready from the first inning and not the third when it is too late. They will have to play seven innings of good baseball. But Medford. likewise, will have to be playing their best game in order to halt the Fal cons. Medford won the first game of the set this summer, 4-2. with a two-run rally in the sixth off a pair of errors and a hit. Young also pitched that game and won on an eight-hitter. Benson hurled a five-hitter an" got beat. Benson will have to do the same fine job tonight and get some better backing. The Fal cons arc an improved fielding club from that game but still have some mental lapses. They can't afford any tonight. Coach Paxton probably will go with his usual lineup. He probably will open with his son Jay Paxton behind the plate, John Gray at first, Lanny Guy er at second, LeVoy Young at shortstop. John Parisotto at third, Larry Binney in left field. Mike Kitching in center and Dave Johnson in right. Ben son will take the mound with Jackson in ready reserve along with Jim Jackson and Rich Grow. Marv Yunck could get into action at second base. Medford will probably go with Don Anderson at first, Dan Miles at short. Jim Calhoun at second, Ron Edmonds at third, Mike Barnes in left field, Mike Neathamer in center, Tom Barker in right and Ken Phipps behind the plate. Young could start in the field somewhere because of his fine hitting. Bob Moore, Crater Cats' strap ping right-hander, hurled his sec ond no-hit game of the season Wednesday night when he blanked the Tulelake team, 10-0, on no hits irr a Klamath Basin Babe Ruth League makeup game. He pitched another no-hitter earlier in the season in leading the Cats to the National League title of the Basin League. He didn't give up more than two hits in any game he pitched. He was scored upon in the last no-hitter he pitched. Moore struck out nine and walked four in his stint. The Cats, meanwhile, were rapping Greg Cushman and reliever Den nis Todd for nine hits in chalking up the 10 big runs. The Cats got two runs in the first when Riek Broslerhous led off by reaching first on an error. Bob Williams followed with a hit. Brosterhous scored on a passed ball which moved Williams to third. He tallied on an infield ground out by Ken Gray. The league champions tallied three more times in the second frame. Mike Keck and Dick Wan- Medo-Beis To Battle Mt.

There was no action last week a? the North and South All-Stars met in games Saturday and Sunday, splitting the two. Hi Hatfield has been assigned the starting assignment on the mound for the Medo-Bels with Jim Keller in relief. Hatfield's; starting may depend on the weather. " The Medo-Bels will have a new face in Tony Saleri who will be behind the plate. He is playing with Washington State. Dave Sigado will be at first, Blake Griggs or Ron Owings at second, Sherm Alien at shortstop. Don Dexter at third and the outfield ers will be Ray Taylor.

The Loaners already had the ti tle sewed up, however. It was an 'anti-climax for the Loaners but helped the East Divi sion pull into a three-way tie be tween Liston, Town and Country The game went nine innings before Liston finally won with a three-run rally. Bob James got the pitching win for the Aircraft team with his final two innings of relief work. He was the third pitcher. Ralph Jennings took the joss with one inning of relief work.

John Pennel Shows Way For Yanks MOSCOW (UPI) Pole vault- er John Pennel of Northeast Lou isiana State, who has already es tablished himself as one of the most sensational "substitutes" in track and field history, is not one to be satisfied with a world's record. Pennel, a 5-foot 10-inch native of Coral Gables, Fla., shattered the world record with a vault of 16 feet, 8 inches just three days after being selected as a replace ment for the injured Brian Stern berg on the American team that duels Russia this weekend. But Pennel has given every in dication that he will be out to break the 17-foot barrier in thel upcoming meet. In Wednesday's workouts, Pennel was the feature attraction as he easily cleared 16 feet, 3 inches before an admiring group of both American and Rus sian athletes. He has already vaulted 16-11 in practice sessions elsewhere.
