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

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-

the Western Division of the South
Suburban Babe Ruth League, was
upset Tuesday night in a makeup
game with Liston Aircraft, 12-9.
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.
The winners collected 14 hits off
Loaners' three pitchers. The Loan
team garnered 12 off the losers
Liston scored its winning runs in
the top of the ninth when Jen
nings walked Danny Lyons and
gave a single to Ron Murphy
Both stole bases and Tom Hall
walked to fill the bags. Jennings
walked in what was the winning
run when Joe McBridc was passed,
Eldon Cook then tried to sacri
fice Murphy home but Murphy
was out. Ron Rand tried the
same trick but Hall was caught
at the plate. Dave Switzlcr singled
home the final two runs.
Hall led the winners at bat
with three singles. Switzlcr and
Lyons had two hits each. All
the winners' hits were singles.
John Ferrell led the losers with
a triple and three singles. He
was the only one with more
than one hit. Dave Warren had
a triple and Jennings a double.

Tulelake got a runner to second
in the lust inning and one to
third in the second inning. An
other runner never got past first
after that as Moore mowed them
down. Cushman gave up eight of
the nine hits and walked five.
Todd worked only one-third an
inning.
Tulelake was Die leader in the
American League and this was
the third loss of the season for
them. They have one game yet

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.
