The Chiefs are proving to be the hottest club In Southern Ore gon League, and are certain to give bigger and better clubs a run for their money In compe tition during the balance of the season. The addition of several new players to the Chiefs roster has given the club a shot In the arm that mav see Roseburg nroduce a championship semi-pro hall club this year. A large turnout of fans were on tne nouse at Botn con tests to see if the Chiefs were as good as reports claimed them to be. The fans were not disappoint ed.

The St. Louis Cardinals took over fourth place In the National League from Cincinnati by one percentage point by defeating the Reels In both ends of their twin bill, 8-6 and 9-2. The loop's tail-enders, Chicago .and Pitts burgh, divided a doubleheader, the Cubs grabbed the first game, 8-5, and Pittsburgh took the nightcap, 8-6. It took an eighth inning home run by Ted Williams with one aboard to give the Red Sox their double triumph. Al Zarilla paced an 11-hit first game attack against three pitchers with a grand slam homer and two singles. Gene Bearden and rookie Mike Garcia combined to pitch the In dians to their first twin triumph ot the year. Bearden allowed only five hits in outlasting Ned Gar ver in the 12-innlng opener.

(.? Bill Holland, the veteran speed ster from Reading, Pa., Is a patient fellow a guy who can wait for the breaks. Holland today holds his first Indianapolis speedway 500-mlle classic race title and it will come about because he was willing to wait for misfortune to overcome the cars he was trailing. He watched Duke Nalon set a fantastic pace in his Novi Mobil Special for 55 miles at the start of yesterday's grind. Nalon, who rode out of Sherman Oaks, Calif., averaged almost 128 miles per hour in breaking a long string of records for the first 25 miles. Then Nalon's car became a burned-out wreck on the north west retaining wall. He suffered second degree burns. Rex Mays, shooting for his first triumph for the 12th time, then took over, and Holland still waited. Mays' engine conked out at 90 miles. Then Lee Wallard, a sec ond-year driver from Schenec tady, N. Y., grabbed the lead, and Holland still played his waiting same. Wallard, driving the late Ted Horn's Naserati, was slowed by clutch trouble and finally drnnoed out. Tbis was Hollands cue, ne grabbed the lead at the 137-mil mark and never was headed. He even got a break in the last miles of te rcc when Mauri Rose, the South Bend, Ind., en gineer, who was seeking an un precedented fourth victory, was halted bv eneine trouble. The sneedway will pass out about 5185,000 in prize money to nirrht at a dinner for the drivers. Holland's share is a matter for speculation, since it depends on his private agreement with Lou Moore, owner of the Blue Crown Special he drove. Whatever he receives he earned it. Hollnnd didn't make a mistake that shows in the race chart as he set up a new record of 121.377 miles an hour, and an elansed time of 4:07:15.97. The 41-year-old Holland estab lished new standards every lap In the last 2:0 miles of the race. Johnny Parsons, speedway rookie from Van Nuys, Calif., took second money In a Kurtis Kraft Special. Nyron Fohr col lected fourth monev for his first "500" effort in the Marchese Spe cial. George Connor of Los Angeles, veteran of 10 previous Memorial Day races, came in tmrci witn tne baby brother of the Holland and Rose Blue Crowns. Yoncalla Sktet Gunner Wim Title By Ont Point RENO, Nev., May 31. CcP) Kobert Brooks, 30-year-old Yon calla millwright, Monday won the all-gauge championship of the great Pacific skeet open with a perfect score of 100 In Mon day's shooting. This score, combined with his Saturday mark of 99 out of 100 gave him the winning total of 199 Jim McClure of Tracy, Calif., was runner-up with 198. Snectd, Palmer Fbying Today For P. G. A. Title RICHMOND, Va., May 31.-P) Sammy Snead, cocky about his new-found ability to putt, and Johnny Palmer, whose greens wizardry has never been ques tioned, face each other today for the 31st PGA championship. This was the first time the two golf stars ever tangled In match competition. The first round of the 36-hole finals was scheduled to start at 10 a. m. and the second round at 2 p. m. over the 6,677-yard Hermitage course. Today's struggle was expected to be a red-hot battle of putters. Snead had his putts f?!ne yes terday as he won an uphill 3 and 2 victory over one o: the finest putters in the business, Jim Perrier, the transplanted Austral ian from San Francisco. So hot was Snead's putter yes terday that he was eight under par. Palmer's 6 and 5 rout of Llovd Mangrum of Chicago yesterday was one of the hottest streaks in golf in a major tournament. The North Carolina star played 27 consecutive holes in 97 strokes, 10 below par. The News-Review -lasslfied iii bring best results. Phone 100.
