Walton's Two-Run Homer Gives Yets Win Oyer Pepsis The Umpqua Chiefs aren't the only Roseburg team to save a seemingly lost game via a Frank Merriweil finish. Thursday night, the Chiefs came from behind to edge out a visiting Eugene base ball team in the ninth inning. Last night, the VFW softhall team duplicated the achievement when "Zeke" Walton blasted out a two-run homer in the last half of an overtime Inning to break the tie and post 10-8 win over Pepsi-Cola. The visiting Sutherlin Pastlm ers scored early in their game with Montgomery Ward and went ahead to increase their total in the third and fifth Innings to take a 10-3 decision in the second half of the doubleheader. The first game was a seesaw affair which saw the lead change hands five times before it was finally all tied up at eight) runs apiece In the seventh inning. The Vets had overcome a two-run lead In their half of the sixth on doubles by Noble White and Glen Forbes, and Harris' single. Pepsi Cola retaliated with a two-run splurge of their own In the top of the seventh and held the Vets scoreless to force the game Into extra innings. Forbes moved In from aecond to take over the pitching duties from Walton but got himself in trouble by hitting one batter and walking a second. But faultless fielding retired the sides to end the Pepsi-Cola scoring threat. The vets tooK over in tne batters box and Harris singled to reach first and ran to second on an error. Then with the winning run in scoring position, Walton more than made up for his wildness on the mound by slamming out his circuit clout and driving in the winning score. Pastimsrs en Rampaga Sutherlin assured Itself of a crack at the second half cham- fiionship by out-hitting, outscor ng ana out-fielding a determined bunch of Montgomery Ward play ers. The Sutherlin batters landed on Moon, the Ward pitcher, for eleven hits and capitalized on four Ward errors to chase across their ten-run total. The only Ward threat came In the last of the fourth Inning when Carretson walked and scored on Moon's double; then a wild throw to the plate allowed Moon to tally a total of two runs in one in ning. Forbes' Shift Aids Vtts VFW's Glen Forbes was a much discussed player during and aft er that first game. Until last Wednesday night, Forbes was the hurler for the much -beaten Youngs Ray team. Unknown to the Pepsi-Cola team, Forbes re reived his release from Youngs Bay Thursday and was Immedi ately signed with the Vets, who In turn had lost their pitcher, Wally Wllklns, to Schemer's Squirts. Pepsi-Cola filed a protest before the game started when they saw Forbes In a VFW uni form hut the difficulty was straightened out after the game when the VFW manager pro duced tne signed release, in com pliance with the City Softhall League rules. The addition of Forbes to Ihe Vets' lineup .greatly Increases their chances against Sutherlln In the deciding game next Wed nesday night. The new recruit started at second base and per formed very creditably. Forbes was credited with five assists and three ptitouts and was In on both VFW double plays. He hit a douhle and a single In four trips to the plate, and took over on the mound to get credit as the winning pitcher. Scores: R H E Pensl-Cola 8 fi 5 VFW 10 10 7 1 Batteries: Walton.

WEM BLEY, England, Aug.7 (JP) Two completey unorthodox ath letes stand out today as the track stars of the 1948 Olympic games. One is Bob Mathlas, the Ameri can high school boy who won the decathlon. At 17 years of age he beat the world's toughest all- around competitors. The other Is Holland's Fannie Blanker-Koen, who is the first woman ever to win three Olym pic championships. And she did it although she is 30 years old and the mother of two children. Her third gold medal came in the 200-meter dash, which she won yesterday. While young Bob was fashion ing the victory that brought the total of American track and field championships to nine, Victoria Manala Braves of Pasadena, Cal., won her second diving champion ship. She is the first woman to do this In Olympic History. She added the high platform title to her previous springboard crown. The women's 400-meter relay swimming team, sparked bv pow erful Ann Curtis, won America's first water racing championship in the female division of these games by defeating Denmark and Holland In the new record time of 4:29.2. Allen Stack of Yale won the fifth straight men's swimming race the 100-meter backstroke to bring the United States close to a clean sweep of firsts In this sport. Two V. R. crews the pairs with and without coxswains were knocked out of the rowing regatta, but otherwise the Stars and Stripes continued to wave brightly despite the London; weainer. Wrestling Fans Offered 2 Great Matches Tonight Topped by a Pacific Cuast light heavyweight title match between Champion Tex Hager and ex Champ Gordon Hessell, and ably supported by a grudge battle be tween Bruno Angelo and Rufus Jones, Roseburg mat fans have an opportunity to see one of the greatest cards ever brought here by Matchmaker Elton Owen at the Roseburg Armory tonight. Last week's events led up to hilling the participants 01 to nights card. Hager, on what many fans considered a break, won the title from Hessell In a great display of wrestling. Hes sell wants another crack, and since Hager has to defend his crown anyway against him, fig ures he should do It now and prove to one and ail the win was no fluke. Rufus Jones, who put Glen Knox out of action in the second fall of the match they staged last week, will have the latler's erst while partner in tag-team match es, Bruno Angelo, to answer to for his skullduggery with Knox. Angelo says anyone who wres tles in such a vile manner needs his brains knocked out and plans on doing just about that to Jones tonight. Chiefs to Battle Ashland Sunday Roseburg's Umpqua Chief?, winners in their last two games, will play host to the league-leading Ashland club tomorrow after noon at 2 o'clock on Finlay Field. Local baseball fans will see a rejuvenated ball club meet the Ashland visitors tomorrow In a regular Southern Oregon League game. Fresh from a thrilling last-Inning win over the Gulstina Reds of Eugene, the locals will he up against a team which has improved as the season has pro gressed. In their last encounter on the Ashland field, Roseburg tooK an -4 decision but since then the visitors have swept by nearly all opposition. To make the game doubly In teresting. Ashland is the team which beat Tri-City, 17-6, last Sunday in a league game. But to go tne visitors several runs better, the Chiefs trounced the same Tri-City club, 17-1. last Tuesday In an exhibition tilt on Finlay Field. By virtue of that five-run difference, the Chiefs look to be the winners, at least on paper. But fans should come prepared for anything either team Is quite capable of upsetting the dope bucket. Europe hag more Independent countries than any other continent. Bull fighting Is survival of the ancient Roman wild beast shows.

After last Thurs day' scores had been posted, it was found that three teams aio tied for first with 13 wins and eight losses and that the remain ing five teams had nine wins and 12 losses apiece. According to Floyd Baughman, co-owner of the Roseburg Alleys, such a thing has never happened in the history of Roseburg bowl ing.
