A large crowd of fans saw a

of Spokane in the top portion of
a double main event at the Rose

fifth round. Orrock, conditioned
trs travelling longer distances,
displayed more, oi his clown act
and appeared to head Bennett
many times, but the deputy kept
the Spokane puncher backing off
and this display of aggresiveness
evidently decided the judges in
his favor.
In the other half of the double
main event, Al "Pinky" Cowan
of Spokane and Mickey Gimmell
of Redding, Calif., displayed the
type of action that wins extra-
award purses. And that is exact
ly what happened.
Feel Out Opponents
After a slow start, in which
each fighter felt his opponent
out, the eight-round event began
to pick up speed, until the final
round, when both battlers put on
a torrid demonstration of ring
action.
Cowan appeared to hold the
weight edge, although the score
book showed Gimmell to weigh
two and one-quarter pounds over
and above Pinky. However,
GimmeH's shifty ring technique
more than evened the score.
Both fighters punched hard
and at one point Cowan appear
ed dazed after Gimmell landed a
solid blow. Cowan, a hard-hitting
slugger himself, who takes a
back seat to no one when it
comes to landing punches, ap
peared to be 'way off last night.
Match Even
When the dust cleared, the
judges decided the match was
even-Stephen. The fans' applause
indicated the decision was popu
lar. Two four-round preliminaries
provided the only KOs on the
card. In the curtain raiser,
Spider Renaud showed consider
able aggressiveness in a match
with Lyle Wescott of Roseburg.
Renaud also had the reach.
The Spider dropped Roseburg's
Guardsman in the third round
for a six-count after rocking him
on the ropes. Another left and
right sent Wescott to the canvas,
and Referee Red Green counted
him out just as the bell ended
the third round.
In the other preliminary ac
tion, Dick Collie, the Winchester
powerhouse, slugged his way to a
KO over his opponent, Jack
Smith, of Spokane. Smith dis
played an easy, loose form, but
once Collie started landing,
Smith appeared as if he couldn't
be sure whether the blow was
irom a steel beam or a rampag
ing jack-hammer.
Collie Lands Punches
Collie started pumping his
arms at Smith and although he

Four-Game Lead
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Hollywood is now four full
games ahead of the pack in the
Pacific Coast League pennant
chase, thanks to the weary Port
land Beavers and the Los Angeles
Angels.
It was simply a case of too
much moxie on the part of Hol
lywood's Pinky Woods Friday
night. He cranked a seven-hit
shutout to give Fred Haney's
Comets a 4 to 0 victory over the
Beavers. It was the first shut
out of the season for Woods
and his seventh triumph.
Ad Liska and George Diehl
toiled on the hill for Portland.
They, too, gave up only seven
hits, but the Twinks made 'em
count.
At San Diego, meanwhile, Los
Angeles stopped the second place
Padres' winning streak at four
games, with Don Carlsen chuck
ing eight-hit ball to give the An
gels a 7 to 3 win. '
Boots Grounder
A miscue by Padre shortstop
Steve Mesner contributed to Carl
sen's good fortune and to the
troubles of Al Jurisich, San Diego
pitcher. With the sacks loaded,
two out, and the score tied at
2-all in the sixth, Mesner boot
ed Lee riandley s grounder, car
men Mauro scored. Then Eddie
Malone doubled to clean the
bases.
A bit of umpire antics enlivened
the proceedings. Angel shortstop
Bill Schuster was ousted from
the game in the seventh for shak
ing hands with a bleacher cus
tomer and clowning. When Man
ager Bill Kelly protested, he also
was waved ott tne Held.
Homers were swatted by Max
West and Dee More of San Diego
and John Ostrowski of the An
gels. Football Ace Jackie Jensen,
recently obtained by Oakland via
the bonus route, is living up to
his price tag. He belted three
singles, drove in three runs as
the Oaks waxed Seattle, 11 to
4.
The series now stands at two
apiece. Southpaw Charlie Gassa
way notched his seventh triumph
of the season as the Acorns
knocked the Rainiers' veteran
Denny Galehouse off the mound
in the sixth.
At Sacramento, Bob Gillespie
made like a wild man but it
didn't help San Francisco. Gil
lespie walked eight and scattered
10 hits among the Seals, who
came out on the short end of
a 9 to 2 count.
Len Ratto punched home three
Uies for the Sacs on a double
in the second frame with the
bases full. Sacramento chalked
up three more runs in the fifth,
and the Seals never threatened.

CAMDEN, N. J., May 28 UP)
Olympia brings his campaign
for the three-year old turf cham
pionship to Garden State Park to
day with his staying powers the

Although Fred w. Hooper s son
of Heliooolis has seven 1949

Olympia tried it in the Ken

track for a mile.
missed many times, the blows
that landed could be felt in the
front box office, or so they seem
ed. Smith was game, but over
powered by the sl'.ig-happy Collie.
After one minute and eight
seconds of punishment, Smith
went down. Referee Green took
one look at Smith and auto
matically raised Collie's arm in
victory.
The crowd voted Mickey Gim
mell the outstanding performer
on the card, for which the Red
ding, Calif., Indian received $15
from J-V Sporting Goods store.
The Gimmell-Collie fight was
voted the best event of the eve
ning. Gimmell took the winner's
share of S15 and Cowan was
awarded $10, the loser's share.
The latter bonus was presented
by the promoters.

Hottest Teams

Brooklyn Bad Club
Now Ties Braves With
Victory Last Night
By JACK HAND
(Associated Presa Sports Writer)
The Brooklyn Dodgers and
New Yorks Yankees are the hot
test teams in baseball a the
pennant racers swing past the
quarter pole.
At the end of the first six
weeks of the 24-week Major
League season, the Dodgers are
tied wun detending Boston Braves
for the National lead. The Yan
kees enjoy a solid 4i game edge
in the American.
It took the youthful Brooks a
time to get rolling but they
sizzled through the west on their
first long road trip. Back home
at Ebbets Field last night, they
moved up even with the Braves
by beating the Boston ace, John
ny sain, 4-0.
Hurls Shutout
Preacher Roe,1 a not-so-youthful
Dodger, turned in his second
straight shutout with the help
of a four-run seventh inning
against Sain who struck out
nine.
The Brooks had a battle on
their hands with Sain before
notching their eighth win In the
last 10 games. It was 00 until
the seventh when Gene Herman
ski, who hits Sain like he owns
him, blooped a single to start
a rally. A sacrifice and Carl
Furillo's single scored Herman-
ski. A walk and Al Dark's error
loaded the bases before Spider
Jorgenson came through with a
three-run double.
Poor pitching a familiar ail
mentcost the New York Giants
a chance to take pver the lead.
Clint Hartung failed to get past
the third inning as the Phillies
clubbed five Giant throwerj for
14 hits and a 9-3 victory.
Pirates Victors
Al Brazle and Eddie Kazak
double-teamed the Pittsburgh Pi
rates to clinch a 2-1 St. Louis
decision. Brazle scattered nine
Pirate hits and Kazak hit a
homer off Murry Dickson with
a man on base to account for .all
the Card scores.
Dickson, who beat the Cards
the first time he faced his for
mer mates April 27, suffered his
sixth straight setback and sev
enth of the season.
Johnny Schmitz made It a
clean sweep for the southpaws
in tne National by pitching tne
Chicago Cubs to a 3-1 edge over
Cincinnati. Emil Verban was the
big wheel for the Bruins with
a double and two singles.
Reverses Form
Eddie Kopat, top pitcher In the
American, continued to reverse
his normal spring form with a
fifth straight victory. Usually
Ed doesn't start to win until
hot weather time. The Yankee
southpaw blanked the second
place Philadelphia A's with six
nits. 3-0. it was tne sevenin ian-
kee victory in their last eight
starts, all at the Stadium.
Cleveland started its season
again with a mock "reopening
day" and got off on the right
side of the ledger with a 4-0
whitewash of the Chicago White
Sox. Everybody went through the
motions of re-starting the season
because of the Tribe's sorry
showing, losing 10 of their last
12 before last night.
Al Benton, purchased from Sac
ramento in April, did a better
job than Bobby Feller did on
the real opening day. Benton,
38-year-old Detroit castoff, threw
a six-nuier.
Detroit returned home from a
poor eastern trip to break a six
game losing streak with a 5-4
edge over St. Louis. Despite Dick
Koko's eighth ' homer, Virgil
Trucks squeaked home with his
sixth victory. He Rtruck out eight
men, seven in tne tirst tour in
nines, Rain washed out a scheduled
nlghr game between Washington
and Boston.

Locals Face Acid Test
In Meeting Undefeated
California Ball Team
Roseburg's Umpqua Chiefs will
receive the acid test In Sunday
afternoon's Southern Oregon Lea
gue action at Finiay Field, when
they meet Crescent City, a hot
shot club from south of the Ore
gon border that has not lost a
single game in 14 starts this
season.
The Chiefs, with a near-perfect
record themselves (six wins, two
losses), have not lost a league
action to date. Fans may expect
some real baseball in the Sunday
contest, the Chiefs' lineup being
loaded with hot-shot diamond
artists.
Claude Buckley, clever Mon
mouth College chucker, will hurl
the game for Roseburg, Manager
Earl Sargent Indicated. Buckley,
who pitched his first game for
the Chiefs against Prospect, al
lowed seven hits and struck out
11 men In that engagement. The
final tally favored the Roseburg
nine 8-4.
Kooh to Play
Another triple-threat live-wire
set to field for the Chiefs is
Barney Koch, coach at Tigard
High School. The first time he
played for Roseburg, he connect
ed three out of five times at bat,
getting a triple and a double in
the process.
In addition Roseburg will be
bolstered by base stealing
demons, Virg and George Sand
ers. Both lads are worth their
weight in runs. Norm West, who
plays a sharp game at first base
and bats cleanup for the Chiefs,
will be called upon to hit in boys
on bases.
Rounding out the Roseburg
roster will be lads like Hal Ed
gar, who can turn in a base hit
when the occasion demands,
Lovell Baker, who is efficient
with either glove or bat; Bill
Schemer, another in-the-plnch
hitter and hobblin' Bunky Hill,
who may take a trick at the
stick when the action gets rug
ged. The Chiefs follow the Sunday
afternoon contest with a Memor
ial day game against Medford
Craters, also on Finiay Field.
Both games are set to start at
2 p.m.
