Ibsebura's Wi iaonsS hatters Falcon reams, By JERRY WAGGONER Hrrald and Newi Sporti Edilpr ROSEBURG Summer Amer ican Legion baseball ended on an unhappy note (or the Klam ath Falcons here Monday night. Dick Williams, a wily right hander who turned the same trick on the Falcons last season in the final playoff game, did it again Monday night and in brilliant fashion as he four-hit the Birds and struck out 17 in winning the thrilling and well- played game, 2-0, before a crowd of 2.321. Williams, who tlie coaches said threw the finest game of his career, had to do just that because he was locked tightly in an exciting pitcher's duel with Jim Jackson of the Fal- . cons who went the distance and lost on another four-hit game. It was his first loss of the sea son after six wins. It was a near flawless game with the Lockwood Motors team making one miscue and the Falcons one. The one the Fal cons made, however, didn't hurt them as it turned out. Thus ended a fine season for the Falcons. They finished with a 28-8 season record before los ing out in these quarterfinals. It took two extraordinary pitching performances to beat them out of the state running. Roseburg is perennial cham pion. The game was just a case of the breaks. Both teams deserved to win the game in the way that tliey played. The nine-inning game, as sufficient proof, lasted only one hour and 40 minutes. Roseburg will now host North Salem Post 9 in the quar terfinals, beginning Thursday. The Falcons hurt themselves at the bat by whiffing 17 times. Ran Cool struck 19 of them out in the first contest. But the Fal cons were hurt by taking the called third strike seven times. The four hits came scattered ex cept the final tuo in the ninth inning with two away. Klamath got a base runner in the first inning off Williams when Larry Binney popped an opposite field single to left field. There was one out and he died there as Williams proceeded to strike out second sacker Lanny Guyer and Mike Kitching. Jack son had the first three batters for Roseburg to ground out. Jackson, in fact, got the first 11 men to face him and all were ground outs except one strike out and one pop up. The 12th batter, Bob Manning, slammed a triple but died on third in the fourth when Jim Beamer flied out deep to lett. After both John Gray and Jackson had ground out to Wil liams, LeVoy Young beat out an infield hit for the second Klam ath hit in the third frame. But Binney flied out to deep center field to end that brief threat. Nothing more happened except quick outs until Gray reached first on an error in the filth and died there when Williams made a very fine stop of Jack son's hard shot back at him. Then came tlie fatal sixth. The Falcons went down in or der but tlie Lockwood Motors didn't. Williams himself led off the inning by working Jackson for a walk, the only walk he gave up all night, lie was sac rificed to second by Mike Blom- berg and look third when Jay I'aMon dropped the third strike to Artie McDonald and had to throw to first to get him out. But Manning singled sharply to left to score Williams with the first run. He stole second base on Jackson despite Paxton's fine throw to the bag. And Beamer lined Uie second single of the inning to left and Manning romped home. Jackson got the side out by Tom Morrison's fly to Kitching in center. Ki73 B tf B mm ifflw jewm 3pm; Yankees Blanked By A's Pikhiiig By United Prcs International Notice how those American League managers always are cry ing about lousy pitching? Notice, too, how they're not saying one single word today? They couldn't possibly, because they wouldn't have a leg to stand on after one look at Monday night's boxscores. For example: Robin Roberts and Mickey Lnlich tangled in a pair of tuo- hittcrs until Dick Brown hit pinch two-run homer with two out in the ninth for a 2-1 Baltimore victory over Detroit. Joel Horlcn hurled hitless ball for 8 1-3 innings, then wound upi losing a two-hitter when Don Lock's two-run homer with two out in the ninth brought Washing ton a 2-1 win over Chicago. Dean Chance of Los Angeles held Cleveland hitless until the seventh and settled for a two- hit 11-0 victory. Rariatz Shines Again Dick Radatz came up with an other one of his brilliant relief jobs In nail clown a 7-5 triumph for Boston over Minnesota and Dave Wickersham of Kansas City pitched his first major league shutout to stop the Yankees, 5-0, in the other AL games. Roberts' two-hit victory over the Tigers was tlie 253rd of his ma jor league career and his ninth of the. year for the Orioles. Lo- lich had a one-hitter and a 1-0 lead until pinch hitter Al Smith: singled with one out in the ninth. The Detroit rookie then got Luis Aparicio on a fly hall but Brown came off the bench to deliver a two-run homer that dealt Lolich his sixth setback in 10 decisions. Heart-Breaking Loss Horlen's loss to the Senators was equally heart-breaking. Re called from the minors last week, the White Sox righthander held Washington hitless until Chuck Hinton singled over second base with one out in the ninth. Larry Osborne grounded out for the second out but Lock then drilled his 17th homer into the left field bullpen. Lock's homer made a winner of knuckleballer Ronnie Kline, who relieved starter Steve Ridzik in the eighth. ' The only Cleveland hits off Chance were Fred Whitfield's bloop single in the seventh and Woodie Held's single In the eighth after Los Angeles had already clinched the game with an eight run rally in the third. Felix Torres highlighted the An gels' outburst with a grandslam homer off Jerry Walker, who had relieved loser Dick Donovan Chance struck out 12 batters and walked two in bringing his rec-, ord to 10-10. Donovan now is 6-9. Monbouquette Won 14th Bill Monbouquette registered his 14th victory for the Red Sox although tagged for four homers bv the Twins. Radatz came to Monbouquetle's rescue in the eighth and struck out three of the six baiters lie faced. Loser Jim Perry ran into a five-run Boston rallv in the first marked hy Dick Stuart's 22nd homer with two on and Ed Bros snud's 13lh homer with tlie bases empty. Roman Mejias doubled home two more runs for the Red Sox in the third. Bob Allison hit his 23rd homer for the Twins. Earl Batley his 21st, Vic Power his sixth and Don Mincher his 10th before Radalz made his 44th appearance of the season. .

UPI Telephoto HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Tuesday, July 30, 191)3 PAC.F, 9- Palmer Grabs Western Open Meet With Bogey CHICAGO (UPII bogey won't win a duffer a beer, but for pro golf's leading money winner, Arnold Palmer, a bogey was good for $11,000 and the Western Open championship. Palmer won with a bogey be cause Julius Boros got a double Iwgey. The third playoff contest ant, Jack Nicklaus, also got a bogey. Tlie over-all performance of the hio on the 205-yard 17th hole at Beverly Country Club Monday may have been the worst ever on network television or in the final round of a $57,200 tourna ment. Palmer, who wound up with a nne-undcr-par 70 for the 6. 867 yard course, said he had "seen worse," however. Boros finished with a 71 and Nicklaus with a 73. Palmer, who said he played pretty well for 13 holes and then 1 wasn't too sharp," started Usually a the 17th tied with Boros at two under par, with Nicklaus even par. Hit Into Trap Palmer hit into a trap and Bo ros into tne rougn oeiuna me green. Nicklaus' tee shot stopped five feet from the pin. Palmer's blast from the trap went 35 feet past the pin and Boros dubbed his approach and his ball stopped 22 feet short of the flag. Both missed their first putts. ' This set up a situation in which there could have been a three- way deadlock if each player sank his next putt. Instead, Nicklaus1 missed and three-putted for his four. Palmer sank his putt fnr the bogey. Boros, barely 18 inches from the flag, missed and three putted for a five. This hole wrapped up Palmer's sixth tourney championship of the year. On the 18th he parred, miss-1 in his last five tournaments. ing a 12-foot birdie pull, but Bo ros missed his birdie try from seven feet to lose his comeback chance. Tlie trio tied for first place aft er the regulation n noics witn 2R0 four under par, to set up the playoff. Palmer s victory increased nis 1963 earnings to $96,955. Both Boros and Nicklaus earned $4,450 for the round with Nick laus increasing his 1963 earnings' to $79,590 and Boros to $69,996 to run two-three behind Palmer. The trio contributed their 50 per cent of the day's gale receipts to the Chick Evans caddie fund. It was Palmer's sixth win in II playoffs and the second playoff defeat for both of his opponents, in four tries for Nicklaus and five for Boros. li. was the seventh play off in 30 tournaments on the PGA tour and tho fourth for Palmer iff (k irm w mm Pendleton Boy Named To Team PORTLAND H'PIi - Pendleton tackle Ron White Monday wasl named to the State team for the 16th annual Shriners' Hospital all star football game at Multnomah Stadium Aug. 17.

GB Ry United Press International Warren Spahn now ranks as the all-time left-handed strikeout king of the majors but you'd better put an asterisk in front of that. Until Friday, anyway. That's when Milwaukee's super lative 42-year-old southpaw is due to work next and since he'll go against the Mets that night, he'll probably dispel any existing question. Actually there should be no question even now. To all intents nd -purposes Spahn broke the strikeout record for le.'t-handed pitchers by fanning five batters in an 8-2 victory over Cincinnati Monday night. Those five strikeouts tipped his major league total to 2.378. No argument there. But there is some argument over Rube Wad- dell's total. Record Books Differ Most record hooks say the for mer Philadelphia Athletics' south paw struck out 2,375 batters dur ing his career but in some books his total is listed at 2,381. Ostensibly that was all settled 17 years ago when Bob Feller was officially recognized the sin gle season record-holder after striking out 348 batters for Cleve land in 1946. Feller was acknowl edged to have broken the record even though Waddell was credited with 349 strikeouts for the 1904 season in some books and 343 in others. Those six strikeouts by Waddell are the same ones under question now even though it was all sup posed to have been settled 1946. According to the Little Red Book of Baseball, Waddell's total was 2,375. But some purists insist on going by "One for tlie Book which lists waddell s total as 2,381. Needs Four Strikeouts Regardless, Spahn has a much better chance of getting rid of his asterisk than Roger Maris has. All the veteran southpaw needs is four strikeouts against the Mets Friday night and he'll be the new r e c o r d-holdcr in everybody's book. Spahn held the Reds to six hits Monday night m posting the 3401 h victory of his major league ca reer and his 13th triumph of the season compared with five de feats. Hank Aaron's 30th homer of the season with one on and Lee Maye's eighth homer with one on, both off loser John Tsitouris in the first inning, proved enough margin for Spahn, who later yielded solo homers to Vada Pin son and Frank Robinson. The Los Angeles Dodgers mapped their four-game losing streak and maintained their 4'j game lead with a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies while the San Francisco Giants won their eighth straight by beating tlie Pittsburgh Pirates. 5-4, in the only other National League action. Threw Five-Hitler Sandy Koufax checked the Dodgers' backslide with a five- hitter over the Phils that earned him his 17lh victory against four losses. Koufax struck out seven ind walked four. Two-run homers by Tommy Davis and Willie Da vis sent 37-year-old Cal McLish down to his sixth defeat com pared with 10 victories. Willie Mays 24lh homer with two on gave the Giants their vic tory over the Pirates and marked the third time within a week that Mays has delivered a game-win ning homer. His blow wiped out 3-2 deficit and came off Vein Law, who also gave up a solo homer to Chuck Hillcr in the third. Jim Duflalo, second of four zik, Kline (9) and Retzer. Winner Kline (2-4). HR-Lock.

John Parisotto worked Williams to a 3-2 count and even fouled off one or two, but struck out to end the game. That finished the Falcons for this season.

West German publications are predicting victory for their team and there is little to indicate that the German girls will fail. How ever, the American girls, who lost by a lopsided score to Rus sia and then made it close against Poland last weekend, were expected to make perhaps their best showing of the tour, al though even American officials traveling with the team would not go so far as to predict a victory. The American men are unde feated in two starts. They beat the Russians by just five points, 119-114, but routed the Poles, 125- 83.
