TWO
Legion Juniors
To Have Tough
Battle Sunday
" The Roseburg Legion Juniors
will play u double-header here
, Sunday against Ihe Albany Jun
to to determine Ihe team to go
Into Ihe stale finals. The Rose
burg Juniors are down one game
out ot the three-same series, hav
ing been beaten at Albany last
Stripy by. the cliwe geore of 3
to 2.
The local team has shown an
ability to meet emergencies and
has at various times during the
season pulled out of tough spots
when the pressure was on. They
will be facing such a situation
Sunday, when they must win both
games If they are to stay In the
race for the championship.
. Fans who have followed Amcri-
, can Legion Junior baseball for !
the years it has been sponsored
''. by the local Legion post, agree I
i that this year's team is one of the
; best to be turned out In many
. seasons. It Is badly handicapped,
' however, by a lack of opportunity
for practice, and as a result the
team's performance has been or
, ratio and below the possibilities
. of which the players are capable.
' Nearly all of the team members
! have summer jobs, making It Im
' possible for them to practice regu
I larly, particularly so because they
I ore so widely scattered, some
' coming from Yoncalla and others
1 from Myrtle Creek. There have
been few practices this season
' when all of the players were
i present. .As a result of this con
J dltion there has been numerous
! errors and pitchers have not been
in the best form. PoHernnrdi,
' who started out as the team's nee
hurler, has failed to perform in
' the last, two names because of a
sore arm resulting from a lack of
Workouts. The team also has
Jommltted a number of costly er
r"rors In throwing bases, a condl
; tion frequently resulting from
lack of practice together.
i Sunday, the players will be up
1 against a complete Infield shift,
,' due to the loss of Melvln Baker,
' regular second baseman, who suf
; fered a serious hand Injury.
. Coach Parks reported that Cox,
regular first baseman, probably
'. will be moved to third base;
Shapro will go from third to sec-
ond and DeBernardl to first. In
, the event DeBernardl Is able to
pitch, Blgelow, one of the regit
'. lar pitchers, who has had expert-
enco at second, probably will re
' place Haker.
, Tin? infield shift, Couch Parks
' slates, will be worked out at prac
I tlces at 4 p. m. Wednesday and 2
H. m. Saturday, in the event all of
"Ihe players can be present. 'He
is urging Ihe team members to
turn out for practice, particularly
In order .that the combination
may be tested.

Mize, the famed St. Louis slug
ger, left Beven runners stranded.
Then in the sixth the Cards
took it all back with a six-run
Inning. Kirby Higbe, who had
been wild but lucky, gave three
walks and forced In a run. Curt
Davis came in and Terry Moore
singled for two runs, Johnny
I Hopp tripled for another, then
scored on a wild throw by Duro
cher, and Mize sent the Redbirds
