Hurt In Fall
Over Hurdle
Accident To Athletic
Star Blow To Indians'
Chances At State Meet
Roseburg' chances at the state
track meet in Corvallis tomor
row and Saturday were dealt a
serious blow Wednesday after
noon. Don Hubbard, star Indian hurd
ler, tripped over a hurdle in
practice, fell, and severely lacer
ated his right knee. A two-inch
gash was opened when he fell
to the cinders. Although he will
not participate in the meet, Coach
Jack Newby said Hubbard, who
was appointed captain of the
team, will make the trip north
with Irvln Stritzke and Bob
Sconce.
Stritzke will run the mile while
Sconce will throw the javelin.
Hubbard, Newby related, had
an excellent chance of placing
high in the track meet at Cor
vallis. The slim, wiry track man
had an outstanding season in
track competition.
He broke previous 120 -yard
high hurdle District 4 record In
the meet held at Eugene May
12, by running the course in 16
seconds flat in the morning pre
liminaries. In the finals he tied
the previous record.
The previous record of 16.2
was set by Jim Flnlay of Rose
burg In 1941, and later tied by
Bob Krell In 1945. Krell, an ex
Roseburg track and football man,
recently finished his fourth year
of football at Oregon State Col
lege. Hubbard Is the only Roseburg
man who would have partici
pated In two events. The lanky
basketball ace also qualified' by
placing second In the 200-yard
hurdles at the District meet.
Roseburg will be dependent
upon Sconce and Stritzke to bring
home a win. Stritzke was edged
out or first place in the mile
run, being beaten by Norm
Lodgewooa, Sluslaw, who ran the
distance in 4:45.6.
Sconce placed first In the Dis
trict meet with a 159'91" toss.
Coach Newby will accompany
the lads, who leave here early
Friday morning,

On Home Run
Feller Again Fails As
Yanks Blank Cleveland;
Cincinnati Tips Braves
By JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
How about that zany Washing
ton club? Now they come up with
a one-hitter shared by four dif
ferent pitchers.
Not content with upsetting the
American League with a streak
of nine straight victories in the
west, they're back home winning
ball games in unorthodox fashion.
Last night's pitching involved
Paul Calvert, Dick Weik, Forrest
Thompson and Dick Welteroth.
Thev served up a total of one hit
a single yet they needed a
three-run homer by EdUle Robin
son to top Detroit. 6-3.
Of course, there's a gimmick,
nine bases on balls and three er
rors made it close. It turned out
that the hit Aaron Robinson's
single in the fourth didn't fig
ure in the scoring.
Calvert was forcd to retire in
the seventh because of a blistered
finger. Weik walked four in a
row and was derricked in the
seventh. And Thompson was lift
ed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth.
Feller Again Mauled
Bobbv Feller took another beat
ing as the New York Yankees
thumped Cleveland's faltering
ace, 6 0, behind Vic Raschl's two
hit pitching.
The Yanks; led bv. Tommy Hen
rich's two homers, clubbed Feller
for 12 of their 13 hits in the seven
innings he worked.
The Boston Red Sox, back In
their happy hunting ground at
Fenwav Park, made it two In a
row over Chicago, 7-4. Bobby
Doerr and Ted Williams hit hom
ers to hand Marino Pieretti his
first defeat while Ellis Kinder
staggered home with an 11-hitler.
Home runs bv Stan Snence,
Roy Slevers and Sherm Lollar
enabled the St. Louis Browns to
win (heir ninth in 29 starts, down
ing Philadelphia, 8-8.
Clncv Defeats Braves
Cincinnati continued to upset
the National League picture,
knocking off the Boston Braves,
13-9, on Grady Hatton's homer
with the bases loaned in ine last
of the ninth. As the New York
Oiants bowed to Pittsburgh, 5-3,
Boston had a chance to gain the
undisputed lead by a victory.
Brooklyn went on a 20-hlt spree
to thump Chicago, 14-5, with Joe
Hal ten coasting to his third win,
a lOhltter. Rov Campanella and
Duke Snider hi. home runs lor
the Dodgers.
Johnny Mize hit homers nos.
304 and 305 of his career, passing
the Idle Joe DIMaggio to take
the lead among active major leag
uers, but the Giants lost to Pitts
burgh, 5-8. ' -
The Phillies made It two In a
row over the St. Louis Cards, 3-2,

Surgeons Patch
Earl Torgeson's
Left Shoulder
BOSTON, May 19. UP) Earl
Torgeson, Boston Braves first
baseman, was resting comfortab
ly at St. Elizabeth's Hospital
where he underwent an opera
tion on his injured lett shoulder.
Drs. Joseph Shortell and Roger
Doyle who performed a similar
operation two years ago on the
Braves reserve infielder Sibby
Sisti, said Torgeson's recovery
looked "very bright."
The hard-hitting first baseman
suffered a shoulder separation
Saturday night when he attempt
ed to break up a double play at
second base against the Brook
lyn Dodgers.
The doctors removed about 12
Inches of fascial tissue from
Torgeson's thigh and placed It
in the left shoulder. During the
operation he was given a pint
of blood and two pints of a saline
solution.
The doctors would not specu
late as to when Torgeson would
return to the lineup. However,
they do expect him back before
the season ends.

There's a wheel that seems actually eager for

There's a broad 63-inch seat cushion, com

There are narrower corner posts hardly wider

easy to see around and there's a broad,
sweeping, full-curved windshield spreading a
horizon-wide view before your eyes.
There's a gas treadle that flicks into instant
