SOME <feAMESv lA'^CLY-^— Coming out xn the clinch­

es have nade headlines in Sports Columns before, and it does at this Center also. Look back over the last few games and reed of Tosh Shimizu's home run followed by Cabbage Kubochi's triple which won the Bee-Dodger fracas. The last inning hit by Jun Taketa which won for- the Senators in the Turlock-Uerced game; the 8-6 score which "flash-changed" in the Yolo-Wainut Grcvo A game when Isao To-kunaga banged one crvo r the fence wi th 2 men on and 2 strikos to win 9-8. These and many others, di cm that the athletes hero will fight to the last, and cane thru for a win. MEAT BALLERS

The well-fed E Hess crew hung up their softball equipment last week, when they trounced the powerful A and D Mess softball teams, who were also pennant bound. Running into the E wrecking crew was like a "Piper Cub ramming into a Flying Fort-; rose," Noise, enthusiasm and lots of hitting won fbr Coach Yoshida, the pennsnt they surely deserved. What pennant? WHAT'S IN A NAME

The basketball teems at thi»Center definitely take the cake as far as names are concerned. Kau . Kau Lane, Chargers, • Pirates, Forty Minors,' Yogores, Roc­kets-, Honkers, Fleahouse Dwarfs, Rambling Recs and last of all, Colusa Pipks are just few of the irany handles attached to respec­tive teams by tne "SPORTS AUTHORITIES?" CASABA CHAMPS WHO?

The Sebastopol Sakuras, cowboyish, clownish and deadeybs, ,still ride -high wido and handsome in tho A loop with 5 straight wins, but tho "Dead End" Kau Kau La nors with 4 straight wins will be out to rope them and tie them with a win if they should go undefeated.

Interesting pair to watch will be Aki Yamazumi of Se-pol and Grove Yoshiwaraof the Laners who have scored

w A major upset was registered Sunday afternoon when

"one-win Yolo," that surprise team of the second half, again pulled a fast one by dumping the supposedly snooth Dodgers, 8-6, The Phillies frail Yolo were hot and noth­ing could stop them as they took advantage cf evory Liv­ingston miscue.

Both teams collected eloven bingles, but the Phillies bunched their hits scoring four runs in the first two stanzas, followed by four more in the heatod sixth, to clinch the game. That sixth inning sav; a hot 30 minute argument among managers, players, and fans as a Yolo runner was called out and finally safe fbr not touching third base.

This upset knots the National LeagUB standing with the Livingston Dodgers now tied for first with the Sepol Giants. Tho much improved Yolo nino now aits on a heal­thy second porch with Colusa and Vialnut Grovo.

Frankie Shoji oasy going Dodger's socond baseman gar­nered threo for four as did toammato F. Okuda. Tho vic­tors showed an eyo for the ball as almost all registered a hit.

Three B League . Games Scheduled

Wednesday afternoon at 12:30 the Modesto Browns, recent, victors ova: the un­beatable Sepol In flans, will cross bats with the now league leading Turlock Senators. This will be the game of the week as a de­feat for Turlock will mean a tie for firat in the American Leagie, Both tecsa have hitting power and the game should prove a close match. The Senators will have an edge in.the pitch­ing staff with two ace chuck ers, J" ohnn y N ii zawa and strikeout artist Tonmy Yokoi on deck.

At 3:00, two no-win cel­lar toanB will be fitting to break into the win column as "sad case" Livingston entertains "lose fight" Yo­lo, .This game may provide some unique and perhaps spectacular playing as any­thing is likely to occur.

F R E D K A J IS MAR8LE KING

Saturday morning the Col­ter Squaro provided onfcer-tainment and excitement as boys of all ages partici­pated in the initial marble tournament. Competition for throe divisions was provid­ed, and a crowd gathered to watch the proceedings, A good exhibition of shooting by knuckle kings resulted as chanps from all rogions vied for honors,

Tho Junior Dividon was topped by little Kazuo Na-kano. The Intermedia to class saw Clark Tokunaga, Yolo's pride, victorious.

Tho Open Ago Division was a hotly contested match be-

.twoen Kaz Nakano, Claik Tokunaga and Fred Kajioka. The first round eliminated Kazuo Nakano with Kajioka and Tokunaga knocking five apieco from the ring. Tho finals was a closo,oxciting affair,a battle of the ages.

Ago triumphed over youth as big Fred Kajioka showed his childhood prowess, aim­ing out seven marbles to sherp-sh oot ing Cla rk Toku-nagp's six. .

The marble king will be crowned tonight at tho gia nd stand.

Another tournament is tentatively planned-• for marblo enthusiasts accord­ing to Mike Fujimoto,

In ono of tho most excit­ing of tho boll games play­ed at this Center, the Mo­desto Browns cut the Sopol Indians' 9 gamo rinning streak 13-9 last Piiday. Tho Indians havo novcr tnstod defeat since drop­ping the 1st lcaguo gamo in tho 1st half to tho Yuba nino.

Tied up at 9 all in tho 7th, tho gamo went t70 ex­tra innings before tho Browns put across 3 runs in tho 1st of the 9th,and hold, tho Indians scoroloss .• in tho final half.

Sensational Mark Hashi­moto savod his own gemo from a probable dofoat when with 1 away, and a full base, ho executed a noat double play.

Modostans outhit tho So­pol nino 14-9, Uyokubo Bro­thers Mas and Sat ooch slamming out 3 out of 5. M. Hamada oxplodod in the 2nd with a hem® run ovor tho fonco.

For tho Indians,2nd base­man H. Wada lod with a triple and a singlo in 4 trios.

BATTERIES: MODESTO, Mark Hashimoto and M. Kamada. SEPOL, J.Otani and R. Mura­kami.

COLUSA LOSES What promisod to be a

tight ball game turned nt to be a wild'n wooly affair as Scpol Giants ran rough­shod ovor a hapless Colusa nine, 22-10 Sunday after­noon.

Tho Colusa lads dofinito-ly had an off-day with three chuckers alternating to stop tho Giant tido, Tho greatest donago was dono in tho hoctic first when tho Sopolians crossed the rub-bor ton counts on four doubles and a single, cou­pled with three walks. Tho second and third canto saw nine more runs tallicd.From there on it was all Sobas-topol with players and po­sitions scrambled at will. Veteran "Daddy" Otani bo-sidos pitching a no-hit two innings, even took a fling at shortstop and the left field patch.

Eddie Kawaoka, clever se­cond sacker of tho Giants had an unoqualcd record at the plate connecting safe­ly five times in as many attempts.
