PHILADELPHIA, July 13 (JP
Ike Williams finally found an op

meant to backtrack and the

technical knockout last night over
Beau Jack, windmill-swinging

to make boxing history by becom

ALL-STAR GAME LOOKS LIKE TOSS-UP
Americans Lose
'Big Four Odds
On Them Decline
By JOE RE1CHLER
ST. LOUIS, July 13 The
National League had everything
to lose and little to gain today as
It squared off against Its Ameri
can League rival in the 15th an
nual All-Star baseball game.
A victory over the battered and
undermanned American League
outfit is imperative or the Na
tionals will lose a load of pres
tige. This Is the one the senior
clrcultmen, who have suffered 10
pastings In 14 outings, must win.
The general feeling around the
crowded hotel lobbies here is: "If
the National Leaguers don't win
this one, they'll never win."
The odds have dropped from
the American League favorite at
11-20 to almost even money.
The American Leaguers, seek
ing their third straight, were
minus their "big four" consisting
of sluggers Ted Williams and Joe
Dl Maggio and ace pitchers Hal
Newhouser and Bob Feller. In ad
dition, George Kell. selected as
the league's No. 1 third baseman,
was stricken as a starter.
Tommy Henrlch of New York
and Hoot Evers of Detroit were
selected by Manager Bucky Har
ris to replace his two sterling
outfielders. Harris was undecided
between Vic Raschi or Joe Paee
as his starting pltetier.
Ken s starting place was given
to Ken Keltner of the Cleveland
Indians.
The bigeest blow suffered hv
the American Leaguers was the
loss of Williams. The Red Sox
power hitter has a torn cartilage
on his left side and will not see
action.
The other American league
players are In good shape. It must
be pointed out. however, that six
of the eight pitchers on the Amer
can league staff, worked last Sun
day.
In sharp contrast to the Ameri
can League situation, Leo Duro
cher's National Leaguers, with
fthe exception of Red Schoen-
dlenst of the St. Louis Cardinals,
are In fine shape. Schoendienst
nas a sore shoulder.
The clouds, which huns so
heavily over the "dream game"
yesterday, were somewhat dimin
ished todav. Players representa
tive Dixie Walker said the play
ers themselves were going to
taxp action against anyone pur
posely evading all-star partici
pation and Commissioner A. B. 1
Chandler declared that "in the
future the player selected to the
all-star teams will be there."

Ted Williams lips
Bat Percentage
CHICAGO, July 13. ()
Boston's Ted Williams hanged
seven hits In four games last
stepped in and called a halt after
33 seconds of the round.
The battle had been fairly even
to that point. Daggert had scored
It two rounds for each and one
even; Judge Frank Knarsborough
carded three rounds for Williams
and two for Jack, while Judge
Harry Lanky saw Jack win three
rounds and Williams two.
Williams said he planned t
continue fighting as a light
weight, discounting rumors he
would campaign for Ray Robin
son's welterweight diadem.
A beaten and delected Jack hart
no excuse for his defeat said "of
course I II keep on fighting.
Fighting is my life."

Night Baseball
Dated Thursday
On New Diamond
The first night baseball game
In Roseburg's history will be
played this Thursday night when
the Umpqua Chiefs meet the
Coquille Loggers at 8 p. m. in a
dedication of the new diamond
adjoining Finlay field.
Work was being rushed this
week to Insure the fans good seat
ing arrangements as a crew of
workers headed by Chief's player
manager Doug Taltt moved the
stands and installed new back
stops. Field Illumination has
been In working order for two
weeks and the batterv of llehts
will make the Chief's new home
ark one of the best-lighted fields
n the state.
The local team pounded out a
32 victory over Coquille in a
innuing ten-inning contest In
their last meeting March 31. Bill
Fortler, Loggers manager, de
manded a return game and ar
rangements were not made until
recently for the game to be plav-
ed.
The lack of an adequate prac
tice field has hampered the local
team recently In preparation for
league games. This mav partial
ly account for the poor fielding
shown at Grants Pass last Sun
day when the Chiefs dropped a
10-6 decision to the Merchants.
The local team out hit the win
ners 11 to 9 but seven errors
anem lost the ball game. Now
that the Chiefs have a field they
can call their own, frequent prac
tice sessions are expected to halt
the game-losing tendency shown
in the past. Manager Taltt said.

Pepsi-Cola Team
Defeats Plywood
In Softball Tilt
Another balr of wins were
chalked up-ln Summer Softball
League play last night as Pepsi
Cola completely outplayed the
Umpqua Plywood team to wm.
8-3. Youngs Bay won the second
team of the evening by forfeit
when the Montgomery Ward
team failed to appear upon the
field. According to official soft
ball rules, the score of the second
game will go into the books as a
7 0 win for the Youngs Bay nine.
The first inning looked like
batting practice as both teams
chased across two runs. The Pepsi-Cola
boys jumped on the oppos
ing pitcher, Cox, for three nits
that first inning, Including a
double by Hopkins and a triple
by Hlnes. One of the Umpqua
runs was unearned in that Inning
when Reddlfer crossed the plate
after Cola Shortstop Coen threw
wide to third base.
The Umpqua boys were blanked
In the second Inning but Pepsi
Cola found the range again off
Cox and drove In four runs on
four hits, including Hlnes' second
triple of the evening.
Umpqua Plywood gained back
one of- those runs in the top of
the third, when Marv Long poled
a single into left field to score
his brother C. Long.
The last of the scoring came in
the bottom of the fifth as Hop
kins reached first on the second
of three bases on balls given up
by Cox. He stole second to set up
the scoring play and ran home on
Coen's single. Coen scored from
second when C. Boucock's fly to
right field was dropped by Ben
son in his only fielding attempt
of the game.
Cox, the losing pitcher, gave up
twice as many hits as his two op
ponents but was able to control
the ball much better. Walks, ,
passed halfcs, and hit batters
marred Hopkins' pitching record i
as two of the three Umpqua Ply
wood runs were made by runners
who reached first base on shaky
pitching. In the top of the sixth,
Hopkins walked three successive
batters to "'I the bases but was
pulled out of the hble by Telford,
who struck out the next batter
and forced the final batter to
ground out to short.
Hlnes boosted his batting aver
age with two triples In two trips
to the plate. Hopkins also hit two
for three, Including a double.
Todd was the heavy hitter for the
losers with one hit, two walks,
and a groundnut to the shortstop
In his four appearances at the
plate.

with the scheduled opening of
the show on October 1, It was
announced this week by Theodore
B. Wilcox, president.
The floor of one of the na
tions largest show structures was
under four feet of water. Aside
from depositing a light coating
of silt and other residue, the
rampaging waters did little dam
age. "Doors washed out by pressure
of the water will have to be re
placed and two. new floors will
be needed, one for the large din
ning room and the other for
one of the dormitories. Otherwise
repairs will consist mainly of
repairing and cleaning, manager
Walter Holt, said.
Engineers will check the 11
acre building, making sure that
preflood conditions are restored.
The repairmen should leave the
building actually improved.
"Contacts with exhibitors leave
little doubt that the 1948 P. I.
exhibition will be the largest
In the show's 38 year history."
Walter Holt, manager predicted.
