Herald and News Sports Editor
The Klamath Falls Medo-Bels,
Northern California League
champions, defeated Weed's
Hawks in a benefit game at Gem

Medo-Bels will take on Pasco,
Wash., in the first game Friday

This vill be the first trip to such
a tournament for the Medo-Bels.
Mar,field, the Klamath Union
High School baseball coach
turned in a neat pitching per
formance. He allowed 12 hits but
they were scattered and he did
his best pitching in the clutch
when he needed it the most. He
struck out 13 in going the route
despite having missed several
weeks of ball because of school.
The Medo-Bels rapped out 13
hits off loser Dave Lemos with
Sherm Allen, shortstop, center
fielder John Bianchi and Don
Gresdel leading the attack at
the plate. Allen blasted a pair
of doubles and a single in five

Gresdel had a pair of singles and
two RBIs.
Mansfield struck out five of the
first six outs and gave up a triple

Mode Of Operation By Ruth
Leagues Explained Fully
The Klamath Basin Babe Ruth
team today began its long jour
ney to Farmington, N.M., and the
World Scries Babe Ruth Tourna
ment where the Nationals will be
one of 10 teams throughout the,
world.
It hasn't been an easy road
getting to the World Scries but
the local team fought its way
there by improving with each
game ond playing team ball.
A team ol civic-minded men
had in mind to help raise funds to
send the team on this trip by
plane, but the team left this
morning in the state-owned ye
hides as previously planned.
Bob Mczgcr, president of the
Babe Ruth League here, said that
the tram and the coaches, and
the Babe Ruth League, appreci
ated the effort and the civic
minded thought of the men but
stated that this route and mode
had been set up earlier and was
done so by the state Babe Ruth
League.
Perhaps the financial setup of
Babe Ruth League should be ex
plained. The league play locally
is financed almost wholly by the
sponsors of the various teams.
They take in most of the expense
year after year on the material
and equipment. Each league must
be registered with the national
office and the sponsors also pay
home on Ray Taylor's shot to,
shortstop. Ron Owings singled to
send Bianchi home with the fifth
run.
The sixth run came in the third
when, with one out, Allen slapped
a double. He scored when Mans
field's bit ball was thrown high
over the first baseman s head.
The final two runs came in the
fifth on Allen's single to right.
He stole second and scored when
the first baseman let the throw
from third base get past him
Mansfield was safe on the play
and later scored on Ray Taylor's
Roseburg Meets
Billings Team
ROSEBURG (UPD Roseburg
will meet Billings. Mont., in the
first round of the Regional Ameri
can Legion Junior baseball tour
nament tonight.
Roseburg, with a 47-9 record,
and Billings have been picked
tournament cofavorites. The Bill
ings team enters the six-teams,
double-elimination affair with a
43-9 mark.
Cheyenne, Wyo., was to meet
Sclah, Wash., at 1:30 p.m. today.
At 6 p.m. Lewiston, Idaho, will
meet Anchorage, Alaska. The Oregon-Montana
contest is scheduled
or 8:15 p.m.
Waterfowl Kill
Limits Upped
WASHINGTON (UPD - Pacific
flyway waterfowl hunters will
have a chance to kill more ducks,
coots and geese this season than
last under regulations announced
Wednesday by the Interior De
partment's Fish and Wildlife Service.
States in the Pacific Flyway will
be able to exercise several options
for duck and coot seasons.
They can set a season of 75
consecutive days with a basic
daily bag and possession limit on
duck of eight five and ten or six
and six,
that fee and the insurance for
the players.
The league makes money by
selling the yearly brochure and
the advertising therein, sells
tickets and operates tlie conces
sion at Gem Stadium. Mezger
said that the league's expenses
lor a year were around $2,500.
Now, when tournament play be
gins on the district level, the
district itself pays most of the
way via gate receipts. That is
the district level and is separate
from the state. The leagues pay
their own expenses going to the
state tournament, but are reim
bursed by the State Babe Ruth
League to a reasonable point.
The teams may go the best pos
sible route to the state and live
expensively, but probably will be
reimbursed for only a reasonable
amount of this. Mezger states
that the local backing has been
excellent and he hopes it shall
continue to be.
The state provides the whole
ticket for the trips to Regional.
The Oregon State Babe Ruth or
ganization is one of the best or
ganized among the 47 states that
participate. The limitations
die Regional trip pay for only
two coaches. The third, if there
is one, is sponsored at the local
league's expense. Mezger alsol
said I hat the locals felt here that
the extra supervision has been
worth it and that it has been
very pood on the trips.
1 he National Babe Ruth organ
ization provides the transporla
tion and expenses to the World
Series and the reimbursements
go to the states, not the local
organizations. '.
Mezger stressed the "fine sup-;
port" that is helping to send;
these boys and that he hopes the?
enthusiasm and good support coc
tinues. "We are not soliciting-
funds now. The tournaments have
been a burden, however, and
if anyone wishes to help out it will
be greatly appreciated."
The team will enter this tour
nament with a brilliant team bat
ting average of .330. Shortstop
Dave Lyman leads the attack
with a great .532 average. He
has 25 hits in 47 at bats. Bob!
Moore is right on his heels with!
25 hits in 49 at bats for a classV.
510 mean in the 14 tournament
games. They both also are co-'
leaders of the runs-batted-in cate
gory with 15 each. They also
have the most hits with 25 each.
Moore leads in doubles with sev
en and Lyman in triples with
four. Moore has scored the most
runs.
Mike McNary has the most
walks by working 16. He is hit
ting .366. Bob Williams is sec.
ond in RBIs with 13. Williams'
also shows a brilliant pitching
record. He is 4-0 with a brilliant
0.86 earned run average. He hai
allowed only four earned runs jit
33 and two-thirds innings, ha.-)
whiffed 59, walked only 12 and
given up only 17 hits. Moore
has a 6-1 record with a 3.00 ERA
and 64 strike outs. He has
walked 35 in 44 and one-third in
nings. However, he lias been very
good since going into the state
tourney.
