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. Even a second place fin-
ish in the Olympic league offers
a shot at the state tournament

THIS ACTION SHOT of former Sheltonian
Bob Eacrett, named recently as varsity
football coach at Oak Harbor High School,
was taken last fall when he was freshman
grid mentor at that district's junior high.

Donaldson In fireman's Role
As Jayells Nip Port Orchard
• Another patented Jan Donald-
son rescue mission, abetted by
sorrm welcome stickwork at the
low end of the batting order,
switched Shelton's Junior Legion
ball club back onto the track
of triumph in Olympic Connie
Mack League :y lastj>L'Dursday
at Port Orch"a': .......... ::
Donaldson's one-hit pitching
over the last four innings and
rookie Ed Adams' 3-for-4 plate
production combined for a 4-2
Shelton triumph over South Kit-
sap which snipped a three-game
losing string, two in league
play.
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.
