Bill Dickie's SIDELINE SLANTS An 'LSD' Trip At Bayshore Having bagged a birdie on No. 7 the other day, this duffer was inspired by this extremely rare personal feat to cogitate just a trifle over some statistics, real and imaginary, anent the Bayshore links lay- out. Most common of the figures associat- ed with any golf course, naturally, are those concerned with par, that elusive digit between three and five which a reasonably good golfer should score on any given hole. For Bayshore, that figure is 36 for the nine holes  five on the two long stretches (the 449-yard first and 467-yard fifth), three on the two shorties (the 125- yard third and 180-yard seventh), and four on the five medium holes (282-yard second, 399-yard fourth, 398-yard sixth, 264-yard eighth, and 352-yard ninth). You should, then, to shoot par at Bay- shore, cover the 2916 yards with 36 swishes of your various golf sticks. Few do so with any regularity, though the likes of pro-manager Ray Walker, Phil Bayley, Sonny Lowe, and a tiny handful of others will occasionally beat it. Ray has clipped it off in 30 on occasions and Phil and Sonny have probably matched that figure a time or two. What I was thinking about, how- ever, was what it would take to com- prise a theoretical "perfect" round of golf at Bayshore. This would be the physically greatest, luckiest possible combination of shots imaginable. It is of record that the third, seventh and eighth holes have all been need; the third and seventh rather frequently, the eighth once in a prodigious poke by Rocky Hembroff some four or five years ago. This is still considered the most amazing shot ever made at Bayshore. So three holes at Bayshore have been made in one. While no one has yet done so, it is physically and therefore theoretically possible to drop a tee shot on the second also, its 282 yards being within range of the longest hitters capable of coaxing a curve to handle the slight left dog-leg three-quarters of the way down the fair- way. lmve The fhas been:e0nqqed in three: pops a few times. The equivalent of a hole- in-one on the first, however, would be two strokes; one to get in position for a second crack across the creek on the sharp right- hand dog-leg. So far as I've been able to learn, no one has yet achieved this dream; but it's possible and someday no doubt Till'become a reality. If the first, in theory, can be had in two, so also can every other hole, including the par 5 467-yard fifth, the course's long- est fairway. Two tremendous pokes could make it, with Lady Luck riding the second sock. Add 'em up--four holes in one, five holes in twoland you come up with 14 for this theoretical "perfect" 9-hole round at Bayshore. I'm shooting pretty doggone well if I make the first three holes in that figure. It will never be done, any more than will a combined round by any one golfer of the best scores ever made on each of the nine holes separately, which is something somewhat different than this theoretical "perfect" round. No one linksman, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, or whoever, is going to, on the same 9-hole round, bag the 3rd, 7th and 8th in one shot apiece; nor is he going to swing through the first in three, the second and fourth in two, the fifth in three, the sixth and ninth in two, as all have been made at one time or another. Those figures add up to an astonishing 17, just three over theoretical "perfect." Excuse me, sports, while to swallow another dose of LSD. SPORTS SPLINTERS  Speaking of exceptional golf achievements, I witnessed one I suspect has seldom, if ever, been dup- licated at Bayshore. Jim Archer was the perpetrator of the greatest bundle of feath- ers ever plucked on Bayshore's second hole when, a couple of years agoI believe it happened during the 1964 Team Captains competitionwhen he birdied the second hole on the first nine and eagled it on the second round . . . five shots for two trips up the econd. This was before the present new green had been installed on the sec- ond, so Archer's feat was a bit more diffi- cult then than it would be now. I hap- pened to be playing in the same foursome and was a witness to Jim's astonishing achievement. It was also in the Team Captains tour- nament that came year that I believe an- other unmatched performance was record- ed. I was a party to this, also, a verifying eye-witness. Frank Heuston and I were matched against Andy Tuson and Rudy Oltman in an 18-hole struggle which wound up in a dead heat with darkness descend- ing rapidly. We debated the advisability of going extra holes then or waiting until next day, decided not to wait on the [i,6i e, Trouble was we didn't get it 2ttled in one hole, or two for that matter, as Frank kept pulling us through with pars which left the knot tied. When we teed up at the third it was so black it was hard even to se the ball off the end of our clubs, and only some guys lighting matches gave us /ome sense of direction and distance to the green. Those fellows around the green located our shots by the sound when the balls lit. Frank couldn't cover for me three holes in succession and Rudy and Andy finally won the thing on the 21st hole, in pitch blackness, with the clock reading 10 p.m. Man, were we hungry! Shelton Junior Legion Team Headed For District Playoff Now the chips lay bare on the table for Shelton's Junior Legion baseballers. Afar tonight's closing game in the regular-season Olympic Con- nie Mack schedule, which brings Central Kitsap to Loop Field for a flUe-important game, the Jay- ells focus their attention on the 4th District Junior Legion cham- pionship playoff at Western State Hospital Saturday and Sunday. Shelton, Puyallup and Post 138 of Tacoma are involved in a 3-team double elimination play- off which pairs Puyallup and Poet 138 in the opening game at 11 a.m. Saturday, Shelton against the loser at 2 o'clock, and Shel- ton against the first game win- her at 5 o'clock. Depending upon the results of , tournament will be the host team these games, Sunday's cham- pionship contest would be at 1 or 4 if a second game is necessary. Shelton is up against tough competition at Western State for both Puyallup and Post 138 have run up impressive season rec- erda this summer. Puyallup handed Post 138 its lone defeat of the season in the Pierce County Connie Mack league while compiling a 23-1 over-all record. Heavy hitting has been the keynote of both Puyallup and Post 138 play this year, which will put a severe test on Shel- ton's salient strength, strong pitching. The winner of this weekend's for the Junior Legion Area 2 tournament August 12-13 at Ta- coma's Heidelberg Field, in which the 5th and 10th District Jay-ell champions will be the other entries, The 5th District comprises the Longview-Kelso- Vancouver hinterlands, the 10th District the Centralia-Aberdeen sections, Besides this Junior Legion com- petition, Shelton is still in the running for the Olympic Connie Mack title, an honor which bears a direct entry into the Connie Mack state tournament in Ta- coma August 4-5-6 at Heidelberg Field.

Donaldson stepped to the rub- ber after starter Jody Campbell in the sixth as the husky right- hander hurled near-perfect ball. He wasn't devoid of trouble, however, and escaped damage only because his teammates flagged two runs at the plate. Shortstop Sparks nailed the run- ner, Campbell put aboard in the fo'urth aer an infield boat had "a advanced him to third. The walk and single Jan gave up came together in the sixth to send a runner to third with one out, but brother Don gloved a fly and ended the inning with a beautiful throw to the plate for a double play. But it wasn't until the sixth that Shelton produced the win- walked the opening South batter ning run in the tense tussle. An in the fourth for his fourth basenfield error put Bill Landram on balls of the game. The score was knotted at 2-2 at the moment as the result of South's two runs in the third on back-to-back doubles by Terry Brennan and Elton Goodwin fol- lowing an infield error, and by Shelton's solo tallies in the third (Jerry Sparks singled to left with Eldon Allen on third after an infield hit, steal and wild pitch) and fourth (Adams singled to left with Dave Steinberg on third after his single to right, steal, and wild pitch). Thereafter, South nicked Don- aldson for ordy a harmless single aboard for an opener, then Don- nie Donaldson, after missing a bunt sign, singled sharply to left and Rob Mills followed suit to right-center. Campbell's double to right-center and Adams' single to left put over the spare marker in the seventh. Shelton broke out of its batting slump with ten base raps, seven from low eschelon batters. Be- sides Adams, who was getting out in front of the pitch with his three raps to left, Stein- berg, another sophomore, bagged two good blows.

North's pitcher Steve Schenck and batter Jim VanDerSys col- laborated as authors of the game therre. The lefthanded throwing Schenck shut off Shelton batters with one lone hit, Jon Arm- strong's single to right in the fourth, and the lefthanded hit- ting VanDerSys scored both the runs, one on a line-shop homer into the football stands. VanDerSys drew a life as the game's first batter when Jody Campbell dropped Jerry Sparks' throw at first on the grounder to short. A wild pitch and stolen base advanced the swift VanDer- Sys to third while Terry Free- man was whiffing, then Greg Smith plopped a soft single into center for a tally which stood in lonesomeness until VanDer- Large Kings Are Bo00ed In Hood Canal • Fishing is a bit slow in Hood Canal waters, but some fisher- men are hauling in good-sized kin;s and silvers.
