"We were beginning to think
maybe going back to the
pants if we didn't get a win

ghed Shelton Manager Bill
after Tuesday's big win,

about a month to go in

bottom of the third when
Lindberg got on, on an
error, Benny Ward singled him to
second and then Jim O'Dell
cracked a run-scoring double.
O'Dell, who had come on to
pitch in the third, cruised along
on the mound with a no-hitter
and had everything under control
until two outs were recorded in
the sixth inning. He then walked
three straight Capital batters to
load the bases before getting
the last out on a harmless infield
pop-up.
In the Shelton half of that
inning, O'Dell singled, catcher
Kevin Ridout bunted to sacrifice
him to second, Les Smith got on
on an error and then Jim Tobin
"laid down one of the prettiest
bunts you've seen," as Manager
Valley put it, to squeeze home
the tying run.
After Tobin, who'd come in
to relieve pitcher O'Dell, got
Capital in order in the top of the
seventh, Shelton proceeded to
put together another clutch
offensive performance.
First Lindberg drew a walk.
Ward again singled him around
into scoring position. Then, with
victory a stroke away, O'Dell
rapped out his third hit, a high,
bounding single through the
middle of the infield, and
Lindberg scampered home with
the winning run.

on the clutch performances of
Tobin, whose big bunt proved
the equalizer and whose relief
work earned him a mound
victory; and on batters Ward,
O'Dell and Smith, in particular.
Ward had a pair of singles,
O'Dell two singles and a double
and Smith a single and a double.
"And I just can't say enough
about the excellent coaching
strategy by (assistants) Jim
Tobin (Sr.),and Ken O'Dell," he
added. "That squeeze play was a
beauty and came at just the right
tinle."
in addition to pitching four
full innings of no-hit ball, O'Dell
also fanned five Capital batters.
Over the weekend Shelton
lost its only games in the
Hoquiam Invitational, a
seven-team tournament
eventually won by the Legion
team from Moscow, Idaho.
Stone's of Seattle took Shelton
9-2 in the first game and then,
despite the one-hit performance
by pitcher Tobin in the second
game, Shelton fell 1-2 to the
Lacey Giants to cut short its
participation.
This evening at 8:30 Shelton
will take on Parkland in Tacoma.
The next home stand is
doubleheader this Saturday at
p.m. against Lacey.
ristrnastown Racing Assn. promo:
celess drag racing Saturday
All the visual excitement of
racing, but without the noise
lhe high speeds, will be
to the streets of Sheltofi
occasion is a promotional
of various dragsters, race
and drivers courtesy of the
Stmastown Racing
a newly chartered
bent on bringing
racing back to Mason
and in so doing getting
streetracers off the streets
a supervised and strictly
legal racing activity.
"We hope to show the public
what racing has come to these
days," says Association President
Dave Gunter, who concedes he
and fellow race promoters here
are bucking the timeworn image
of dragracer as drunken bum.
Gunter says his group has
secured permission to rope off
Fourth and Fifth Streets and half
of Railroad Avenue downtown to
accommodate the display
vehicles, which are expected to
come from all over the Pacific
Northwest.
The presentation is scheduled
to begin at noon, and the public is
invited. There will be no charge.
Top attractions in the large
array of display cars expected are
at least two exotic top-fuel funny
cars, a top-fuel dragster,
"High-Dollar Fever" from
Olympia, and Tom Turner's
recordholding F-gas Corvette
from Puyallup.
Turner, a former Sheltonian,
has turned a 9.84-second quarter
a.t 154 miles per hour - "not bad
for a 287-inch motor," says
Gunter.
Also on hand will be various
bracket cars from all over the
state, Oregon and perhaps even
British Columbia.
"And the racres themselves
will be here to talk to people, to
tell about their cars and their
sport," says Gunter. "I've written
personally perhaps 100 letters.
Everybody and his brother in the
racing circle knows about this
thing, and they're behind it 100
percent."
