ImI1IIIIHwIIIII|HiIIIIIiIIIiIIuBKIu Bill Dickie "s SIDELINE SlaNTS A Rout And A Squeaker layells Whip Port Townsend,Ce RUSS COREY Big Brother Didn't Stop Him Spicing A Dra Dish They were running around on the bench Sunday afternoon at Loop Field, and Sheiton had just put the game out of reach with a big rally off Port Townsend's starting pitcher. The reliever came in from shortstop, where he was a highly capable performer, and he was rchtted to two of the Shelton players, a cousin to one, older brother to another. "He'll try to stick the first one in my ear," remarked Russ Corey, the kid brother and Shelton's catcher. "Yeah, we gotta keep loose up there," agreed cousin Jim Corey, Shelton's shortstop this game. Jim would be the tirst batter Randy Corey faced. The bases were full. Randy crossed them up, though, and got the first pitch to Jim into the strike zone. Jim turned it into a whistling line drive to right-center for a base-cleaning double. Jim's white teeth gleamed in a happiness visible from the deepest recess of the grandstand. Three batters later. Russ strode to the pitt.. .i .... lndy had walked the i mi g hitters, Russ still had that IL'eling Randy tnight "stick it it] his ear." When the pitch came tip it looked like Russ was right. He ducked. But Randy had fooled him pretty badly for the sweeping curve broke across the plate tot a called strike. Russ took a hitch at his belt and moved back into tile box, determined not to indulge in any more of that guessing game. tte was ready lbr Randy's next one, a fastball on the inside cormer. Russ turned it into a frozen rope down the leftfield line which went for a triple. His pleasure was even plainer to the naked eye than Jim's. Thus, on three pitches, Randy's little brother and first cousin lind driven in six Shelton runs, a rather an-neighborly way to treat kinfolk, you might say. But such is the 1":tare of athletics. The good competitor doesn't let up against anyone, often is inspired to rise above his norm in situations such as the Coreys found themselves in Sunday. They'd even sticFt it in a brother's ear to get the job done. The three played together for years as they grew up at Quilcene, Then Jim's family moved to Skokomish Valley attd he attended Shelton High School the past two years. will be a Senior at Shelton next fall. Russ, wishing to play at a larger school than Quilcene, came to live with cousin Jim last fall but because his family still maintained their home at Quiicene he was ineligible to play the basketball and baseball he was so proficient at tins year. Now that he has attended Shelton for a full school term he will be this coming year as a junior. The Corey drama Sunday afternoon spiced a lopsided ball game. SPORTS SPLINTERS -- Anaong th bodies occupying space on the Shelton bench at Sunday's game was Jack Mallory, one of the two or three best catchers ever developed at Sheiton high school. Jack graduated in 1957 and signed a professional contract with the Chicago Cubs organization almost before he had time to tuck his diploma in a drawer, tie played a couple seasons of minor leazue ball, developed arm trouble and came back to Shelton to work. He's now a TWA pilot flying out of N Y; with a transfer to an Vrancisco imminent. He and his wife, the former Carol Cole, are enjoying a slmrt vacation in Shelton before setting up their new home back here on the west coast. Jack has managed to see quite a few major league baseball and football games during his residency on the east coast this past year, following the Mets, the Jets, the Saints, and the Yankees as often as possible. He also gets in a few fan licks on his flight to other cities, said he was particularly impressed with the Dodlers home in Chavez • Ravine, L.A. Classy pitching appears to be the strong point of Olympic Connie Mack League teams this summer, With the schedule half gone, there have been four no-hitters hecorded already plus as many more one hitters. Shelton's Jim Corey no-need West Bremerton C, Central's Brian Wright has two to his credit against East Bremerton and Port Angeles, and West Bremerton' Larry Rask did it to East. in fact, East was no-hit in successive games by Rask and Wright. Despite the league's pitching eminence, Shelton's batters are swinging at a collective .306 average on 56 hits in 183 official at bats in seven league games through last Sunday, a pretty strong reason for the club's ! t 'i nt. of several 'weekO, Mike Murr has picked ttarwlrd University tbr the scene of his higher education and college athletic endeavors. Mike Murr is not a name familiar to Mason County sports followers for his achievements, prodigious though they are, were performed at Walla Walla high school. They're mentionable gerein because Mike's parents, Mr, and Mrs. Lloyd Murr, have lived in Shelton the past five years, Mr. Murr operates the C&L Time Oil service station on First street. Son Mike wrestled with the choice of scholarships offered by Harvard and Oregon State, even signing a letter of intent for OSU last spring but later opting ffor an academic scholarshkp at Harvard in preference to an athletic grant-in-aid. Mike's football achievements last fall at WaHl earned him honorable mention in Coach & Athlete Magazine's all-American prep team. He also is a topflight baseball and basketball player. Mike's athletic achievements make local sports fans drool at what such contributiohs might have done for Highclimber teams the past three years had he come to Shelton with his parerKs instead of electing to stay in Walla Walla with his grandparents.

Over !,000 forestry, youth activity, Performing like serious championship challengers, Shelton's Junior Legionnaires completed a highly successful 3-victory week in the Olympic Connie Mack Iaeague with a romp past Port Townsen Sunday on Loop Field and a one-run squueaker over Central Kitsap at Silverdale last Thursday. A short hiatus from league play will give the Shelton Jay-ells a shot at the annual Longview 4th of July tournament title tomorrow, when Shelton is paired against Kelso in the opening game at Kelso, then will nleet either Longview or Lacey in a second game depending on the outcomes of the morning games. Next Tuesday, league action resumes with Shelton at East Bremerton. Nest Thursday Shelton goes to Aberdeen for a non-league night game. Jim ('orey survived early-inning IHtHmlHIHIHHii0HiiIlIHimlHllUlilmilllllllllllMIllflUlilHUHIMllllllllIHr Golf Club Calendar /UmIIlllulIlMlIlHlul: RAY RICE wound up with two golf honors last week. At the conclusion of the 19th Hole Club men's golf league he was the individual scoring leader with 17 of a possible 18 points in his nine matches. Only a tie in 6ne match spoiled an otherwise perfect record. Ray also won the 1969 Shelton Golf Club President's Cup with his net 205 in 54 holes of medal play. On his 16 handicap he shot tier rounds of 69-71-65. RICE'S FINAL 65 WINS PRESIDENT'S CUP MEET Ray Rice closed fast with a net 65 for his final 18 holes to capture Shelton Golf Club's 1969 President's Cup on a fetal 54-hole score of 205. He had posted net 69 and 71 cards in earlier rounds on his 16 handicap spot for a 3-stroke edge on three competitors in the tournament. Keith Simpson, a late finisher with Rice, moved into a tie at 208 with Larry Larson and Andy Tuson for the runner-up post. Simpson hung up a net 71 to go with his previous 69 and 68 marks, Like Rice, he also shoots to a 16 handicap. Bob Coots (another at 16) finished at 210 on his final net 75 to go with 70 and 74 predecessors. Other finishers were Bob Olson at 211, Glen Robertson and Bob Kieburtz at 218, Clyde Coots at 219, Fred Stuller and Elston Isbell at 220, and Gary Nicloy at 222. COUGARS CLING TO TOP RUNG; RICE WINS TITLE With a strong closing 12-fori8 i'oint performance, the Bob Coots Cougars hung on in last week's moist final scramble to win the 19th Hole Club men's golf league championship. Rain cut into the number of participants in the schedule finale on some teams, but even so 79 individuals golfers turned out to tuck away the 9-week slate, The Cougars clung to the top last four teams, so the positioning looked like this us the curtain d re pped : WK SSN I'('T Bob Coots 12/18 9W162 .611 Gary Nicloy 12/18 9/108 .583 Ivan Myers 15/18 /170.576 Jack Jeffery 15/20 t/9/172 .575 Dar I)ennislon5/20 $9/162 .550 l-lrn I)ahman 4/8 77/150 .5133 I.arry l.arson 4/8 7'UI54 .512q Jim Archer 6/18 75/172 .430 Keilh Simpson/l( 54/I 32 .403 Bob Woldcll 3114 53/140 .303 W[IcI1 I'k'an I)anicls V','Clll It)LI draw ith Rog Amtcrson in the lillUlV, il allowed Ra 3 l,icc It) sqttCC/C thrugh to I!lc illdivithlal scorillg lille It)l tile Ic;igilc Oll his iltl5 t)xcl' Buck I'licc.

Back-to-back home runs by Curt Stracke and Bill Landram shot Shelton to a 3-run first inning lead against Central. Strackc's fly dropped over the left field wall after Mike Bac had walde. Landram lashed his line drive over the right field fence. Both blows came off left-hander (;aryLarson, the fifth straight southpaw Stelton faced. Four met defeat. Central flashed right back with three of its own to tie the count. A double and single by the first two hitters earned one run, but the next pair were gift-wrapped when Shelton's keystone was left uncovered on a potential double play tap back to Corey, whose throw sailed into centerfield. Butch Stuar! doubled home one of them and an infield out scored tile third. Shelton won it with a brace in the second on a pair of fly balls to righlficld. ('ampbell and Kevin I)orcy singled successively, then Bruce (+olc. altenlpting tO sacrifice, dragged his bunt into the shortstop hole to fill the bases. Campbell scored on Mike Bat's fly to right. Alter Dorcy wus thrown out at the plate on aground ball back to the mound, Cole tallied when the right fielder dropped Jim ('orcy's pop. ('orcy held ('entral hitless after Ihe second inning but the Kitsapers squeezed a run ]tome it] Ihe sixth which erased all comfort for Shclton. ('orcy walked Bill l)amschcn, who stole second, then while Chris James was being retired on a diffictdt ground ball play a! first l)amscben scampered all the way home. tlowever, Corey put Central down in order in the seventh to preserve the narrow nod. Landram, Cantpbell, Dorcy and Cole each contributed two to Shelton's IO-hit total, both of Cole's being identical, perfectly executed drag bunts on attempted sacrifices. Corey's 4-hit pitching effort was embroidered with ten strikeouts, flaed by +o91,¥" threg va k. ''  +  ....... . Shelton again stacked up ten hits in lhe assault on three Port "[ownsend pitchers. Jim Corey and Mike Bac each connected for three with Jim driving in five runs, Mike three. Russ Corey also /tad three RBis on two hits. His triple with the bases full in the third was one of the game's highlights, coming on a pitch thrown by his older brother, Randy, who had moved to the Townsend mound from shortstop during an 8-rim Shelton tidal-wave against starter Steve Sntith. Randy's first pitch had been smacked for a base-cleaning double by cousin Jim Corey. Five runs in the second inning broke the game open, on an atnalgam of three walks, a hit I I Too many .oils?
