Mort pitched two-hit ball while Walker tripled and scored the only run of the game to snap an eight-game Brooklyn winning streak and shut out the National league champions for the first time this season. It also was the first defeat of the season for Wyatt, the Dodger ace who had won two games pre viously without looking nearly as good as he did in losing this one. He gave up only four hits, but Walker Cooper's triple In the fifth, followed by Crespi's fly to center, decided the game. St. Louis came close to moving Into second pluce by the victory over the Dodgers, but the Boston Braves managed to remain a half game in front by nosing out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3 in, ten in nings. The Cincinnati Reds crushed the Phils, 10-3, with Starr pitch ing a six-hitter. Ott hit his sixth home run with one on in the first inning to help the Giants got a 3 0 lead for Car penter in the first five frames against the Chicago Cubs, but the Bruins won out, 6-3. Cordon Hits 2 Homers The world champion New York Yankees also halted the Chicago White Sox' seven-game winning streak, 41. Joe Gordon hit two home runs to chase Chicago hum bly back to the American league cellar. Cleveland's game with the Boston Red Sox was postponed and thus the Yanks' first place lead was swelled to 13 percentage points although they are dead locked in won-lost reckonings. Air-tight relief pitching by Har ris raised the Philadelphia Ath letics out of the basement with a 5-3 decision oVer the Detroit Ti gers,;who scored all their runs in the first two frames and then loaded the bases with one out 'in the third.

Tennis Team Schedules 2 Final Games of Season (By MICKEY CAMPBELL) The Roseburg high school ten nis players close the 1941-42 sport season this weekend when they travel to Springfield and Eugene Friday and Saturday. The track- sters finished their season last week and the baseball players had their lust game Tuesday. The ten nis players are unable to defend the state doubles championship, won the past two years by Cars- tens and Cacy, because the tour nament has been cancelled, due to the shortage of tennis balls. Thus this week's matches put on the finishing touches on an undefeat ed season to date. Roseburg has already defeated Springfield once this year, 6-2, In ft fiatch played here earlier but has no't played Eugene high yet this year. The locals expect to close their season with two more victories however. Again the 'highlight match is expected to be between Ward Cummlngs and Ray Stratton, leading players of Roseburg and Springfield respectively. Stratton won the last match . played In three sets but only after a very gruelling match. Players making the trip tills week Include: Cum mlngs, Campbell, Ness, Clark and Moulding. Tennis Coach Schwarz kopft will also accompany the team on the two-nay jaunt. I Seattle Loses To Seals Twice, Drops To Third In Race Los Angeles Downs Portland In 12-lnnlng Battle; Sacs, Stars Stage 38-Hit Batfest (By the Associated Press) ine ban Francisco Seals, re cent cellar dwellers, routed Se attle's three-time Pacific t-oasl league baseball champions for a double win last night to drop the former league leaders into third place. Although the Seals collected only eight hits they won the first game, 9 to 2, as three Rainier hurlers went wild to walk seven batters. Joyce forced the Seattle batsmen to space eight safeties. Jansen, young Seal twlrler who has been slow rounding into shape this year, pitched four-hit ball to nip the Rainiers, 4 to 2 in the seven-inning nightcap. The first-place Los Angeles An gels Just managed to stave off peppery Portland team in a 12 inning game which the last-place Beavers continuously threatened, but finally went down, 6 io 4. Heavy-hitting Angel batsmen collected 14 safeties off subma rine hurler Llska and two more on the offerings of Schafer, who relieved in the closing frame. San Diego moved a notch up to second place in the standing af ter a comparatively uninteresting 3 to 1 win over Oakland. Olsen, southpaw hurler yielded the Oaks' batters six hits while his teammates pounded Yelovic, the losing pitcher, and Glenn for ten blngles. Sucramento engaged In a slue- fest with Hollywood and won 13 to 12 as the Solons cracked out 20 hits off three Twink hurlers and Hollywood retaliated bv blasting four Sacramento pitch ers for 18 hits. The Twinks had a really big inning In the eighth when they scored eight runs and just missed tying the 13 tallies the Solons had chalked up.

Overall gasoline consumption in 17 eastern states and the Dis trict of Columbia now is curtail ed by 50 per cent. Oregon and Washington, now with a one-third cut, will go on a one-half basis June 1. The WPB was understood to have decided to prepare for na tion-wide rationing after hearing a report that American motorists were wearing away tires and tubes at the rate of 45,625 tons a year, or 250,000 pounds of rubber day. I Installment Paying Of Income Tax Planned ' (Continued from page 1) tain the present 10 per cent earn ed income credit up to $14,000 In computing normul taxes only and also kept the present $400 exemp tion for dependents. Thus, the committee would bring into the income tax fold for the first time single persons earning as little as $10 a week, would increase the average $10, 000 a year congressman's tax from about $1,200 to about $2,000, and would Increase the tax of a $50,000ayearman from about $20,000 to $25,000. There was no indication of just how many people would be added to the 7,000,000 who now pay in come taxes by the committee's ex emptions. Committee members said there had been no serious discussion of President Roosevelt's recent sug gestion that individual incomes be held to $25,000 a year after pay ment of taxes, although the new rates would mean thut a man would have to earn more than $50,000 a year before he would have that amount left.

May Curb Motorists The possibility of further gaso line rationing spread over the map today as the government considered curtailment of auto mobile driving throughout the country to further conserve rubber. The war production board di rected the office of defense trans portation to draw up a nation wide plan. July 1 was mentioned as the logical date to start the program, If it finally was adopted.

Reds Pace Slowed Adolf Hitler's field headquar ters pictured the Russians as suf fering heavy losses as German warplanes ranged over the Khar kov battlefield in great numbers, strafing and bombing the red ar mies; ' - ! The German command said na zl troops guarding the big steel city, Russia's "Pittsburgh" in the Ukraine, beat of powerful tank led soviet attacks and destroyed M more red army tanks. , Hitler s headquarters also re ported strong Russian assaults were developing in the bloody Lake Ilmen sector, 130 miles south of Leningrad. Axis dispatches from Buchar est asserted that German-Rumanian counter-offensives had slow ed the Russian drive upon Khar kov In "a battle of extreme vio lence" but acknowledged that massed soviet forces were smash ing violently at many places be low Belgorod, 50 miles north of Kharkov. Slaughter Is Heavy London military quarters said the northern wing of Marshal Tlmoshenko's armies were pres sing forwnrd relentlessly upon Kharkov, although at a some what slower pace, while the sou thern wing was apparently check ed. At midday, after bitter all-night fighting, soviet headquarters an nounced: "Our troops continued offensive battles in the Kharkov direction. "The Germans, disregarding enormous losses, have made counter-attacks attempting to hold up the offensive of our troops. These attempts of the enemy are being defeated, and the Germans are suffering huge losses in manpow er and equipment." In one sector alone, the com munique said, red army troops killed 700 Germans and captured quantities of booty. Fierce battles also raged on the Leningrad front, where the Rus sians said they had cut the road between "two enemy centers of resistance" and killed 600 Ger mans attempting a counterattack to restore the broken communica tions. Kerch Battle Not Ended Bucharest reports countering the German high command's claim that the battle of Kerch was "concluded," admitted that soviet troops were "still fighting with sharp resistance at many points" in the eastern Crimea. As the Russo-German cam paign rounded out Its 11th month, Helens Marshal Goerlng told Ger man workers In Berlin that this war Is the hardest Germany has had to fight." Goering said Hitler had suffer ed deeply for his troops during ine Dltter months of the soviet winter "but he knew he must not yield" because "behind us there was only a heap of ruins . . . . therefore we had to hold the front." ere for 60 days except for deliv eries to the army, navy or marl time commission. Some officials at WPB, sharply critical of what they described as war department "shotgun meth ods, said the "freeze" affected private as well as public construc tion. For example, farmers who cannot ship grain to already-filled elevators will be unable, in many sections of the country, to build bins for their spring wheat crops. Remedy Promised It was Indicated that the order was rushed through WPB's lum ber branch under army Instruc tions before high-ranking WPB officials realized its full effect. There certainly was no Inten tion of stopping defense housing," James S. Knowlson, director of industry operations, declared to day, "and something will be done about it." Some amendment would be drawn, it was understood, to per mit continuance of "essential" de fense housing, at least. Defense housing officials now are engaged in a review of all products, plan ned and under way, to establish their own priority list. If projects were stopped too long, officials feared, contractors' crews would be broken up by workers seeking other jobs and the work of shipyards, aircraft plants, and other vital facilities would be Impeded by lack of housing for employes. Army Held Remiss The only lumber still available for such projects is in retail yards, and It was reported the army had bought up some 2, 000,000,000 feet of these stocks since March. Authoritative WPB officials de clared that the army, although warned months ago that it should begin stockpiling lumber for the cantonments in which it will house its multi-million-man new army, had failed to do so. Recent heavy demands for wood as a sub stitute for scarce metals suddenly left the war department faced with the possibility that supplies might not meet Its demands and the 60-day "freeze" was de cided upon. The army's requirements, even at the end of the 60 days, will not have been filled, officials report ed. Violations To Be Checked Three thousand government ex aminers have been assigned to check on violations of the con struction stop-order in all parts of the country, the war produc tion board announced yesterday. The examiners, borrowed from WPB from the home owners loan corporation, will check building permits in every principal city and gather information from building supply companies, labor unions and any other available sources of information, WPB said. many's reply expires at midnight Mexican time tonight. Sinking of the tanker with a loss of 14 lives has stirred vio lent public reaction in Mexico and produced outcries for an Imme diat war declaration. R. H. S.

Senate Votes to Build Fence Along Mexico Line WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP) The senate voted $50,000 today to build a 25-mlle long barbed wire fence along the Mexican border west of El Paso, Texas, al though Minority Leader McNary (R.-Ore.) questioned the wisdom of using essential materials for such a project. "How does this jibe with our good neighbor policy toward Mexico?" McNary asked when the Item came up. "We want to keep the good neighbor policy on both sides of, the border," retorted Senator Mc Carran (D.-Nev.). "Is the fence supposed to keep out smugglers or cattle?" Mc Nary asked. "Smugglers." McCarran said. "Well," said McNary, shaking his head, "it must be quite a fer.e." There were 211 trumpter swans counted In the United States In 1941.

(AP) Roundabout dispatches from Germany said today that Berlin expected Mexico to declare war upon the reich following receipt of an answer to her demand for satisfaction In the submarine sinking of a Mexican tanker. The dispatches, relayed here from Berlin via Stockholm, said that nazl circles also expected other Latin-American republics not now at war with the axis to follow Mexico's lead. It was said the German reply would be de livered today. The time ilmlt which the Mexi can government set for Ger- Claude L. Weber Dies At Roberts Creek Home Claude L.
