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.

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

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

troubles in pitching Shelton to its
5-4 success against Central, and
Shelton batters fattened averages
in a 14-3 laugher against the
youthful Port Townsend squad as
Jody Campbell made his first
pitching start of the season and
picked up the decision.
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

bags full), Ed Adams' sacrifice fly,
and singles by Bac (one RBI) and
Jim Corey (Two RBIs).
The 8-run third was a fusion of
the two hits by the two Coreys
already mentioned, a two RBI
single by Bac, Jody Campbell's
double (which got it all started),
and six walks. The final and 14th
run came in the sixth on Russ
Corey's single and Mike Hagan's
triple to deep right-center. Mike
missed making it a homer by
inches.
Port Townsend's three pitchers
issued a dozen walks and hit one
batter along with the ten hits
which bounced off Shelton bats.
