Two three-run in ningsthe sixth and the ninth did the trick. Enos Slaughter's sixth home run helped. Red Mun ger, who needed help from Ted Wllks In the eighth, was credited with his third victory. The loss was chargd to Warren Spahn. The two scheduled games In the American League resulted In Detroit losing Its undisputed pos session of second place, and Cleveland moving past Chicago into sixth place.

When the final out was made, the score fa vored Roseburg, 9-2. The Elkton club led the Chiefs, 21, for three innings before the score was tied, when Jerry Hug- gins, getting his second of three hits for four official times at bat, knocked In Norm; West to knot the score. Vic Lewis pitched his second superb game for the Chiefs, tie Ing a previous record, when he pitched against Yoncalla, by al lowing the Elks only three hits, all In the first inning, while striking out 10 opponents. Don Reed pitched the final throe Innings for the ' Chiefs, striking out four batters and holding the Elks to no hits. Parks, losing Elkton pitcher, struck out five, walked one and allowed 14 hits. Lewis Gets Wobbly Start The first two Elkton batters, Brooks, the lead-off man, and Pribhle both scoredafter gaining base hits in the first. Myers, third man up, socked a two-bagger bringing in Brooks. Then Pribble scored when Parks, cleanup hit ter, lined one to shortstop George Sanders that should have been stopped. Swearingen, number five man, drew a walk, then pitcher Lewis got his bearings and fanned the next three batters. After that, it was a succession of three up and three down fpr the Elks, with the exception of the third Inning, when George Sanders miffed an other grounder bv Parks. Parks got to second on Lewis' wild pitch, but two outs In a row left mm stranaeci.

Umpire Campbell's de cision drew protests from the Elks, but to no avail. Barney Koch scored the first Roseburg run in thj Initial In ning, after singling. He stole sec ond, advanced to third on a passed ball, then scored after George Sanders' high fly was caught in deep right field. Huggins followed with a sin gle, but was left on base after Lovell Baker grounded out, pitcher to first. Hal Edgar clouted a nice double his first time at bat in the second, but died on third, when three successive batters failed to get to first. With two away in the third, Norm West lined out a single, stole second then scored on Jerry Huggins"" single, knotting the score at 2-all. Batfest In Fifth Roseburg woke up In the fifth, with Virg Sanders leading off. He singled, advanced around, then came home on the short stop's error. Huggins drew a base on balls after West grounded out, then scored on Edgar s smashing triple. Roy Long's single scored Edgar. Two succeeding outs re tired the side, alter the entire squad got a crack at the bat dur ing tne inning. Virg Sanders, leading off again In the sixth, lined out a single, but was called out as he stretched for home plate. Mitchell, Elkton center fielder, halted Roseburg that inning by nabbing two high flys in succession. Roseburg came to life again In the seventh, Huggins leading off with a single, his third. Baker firsted on a fielder's choice that caught Huggins going lo second, Hal Edgar followed with another hit. He advanced on sn error, then both he and Bakir scored on pitcher Lewis' single. This ended the scoring. Edgar Stars At Bat Hal Edgar's double, triple and a single in four trips made him top hitting dog of the day. Hug gins, with three singles In four trips, equalled Edgar statistically. Although George Sanders was the only Roseburg man to mis cue on the field, his RBI for the day plus the run he scored him self, accounted for one-third of Roseburg s nine runs a some what redeeming element. Elkton abetted Roseburg's cause by miffing eight fielding chances. Roseburg plays Oak'and Friday night at Finlay field. Titled "The battle of the managers," Sargent, of the Chiefs and Hoot Gibson, of the Oaks, will battle It out on the mound for the greater portion of one inning.

Fish and Wildlife Serv ice Is progressing satisfactorily, Cole Rivers, field agent in charge, reports. Tagging opera tions at Gold Beach were tem porarily interrupted for several weeks due to loss of the trap. The trap was reconstructed and put Into operation again May 26. A number of those fish tagged In April have been spotted by the unit's personnel at Savage Rapids and Gold Ray dams. Sev eral angler-caught fish with tags have been reported. Anglers have been very cooperative in return ing tags from fish to the game commission, Rivers said. Sportsmen are again urged to mail tags from angler-caught fish to the Oregon State Game Commission in Grants Pass. For convenience, those tags from the lower river can be turned In at the tagging station at Wedder burn, valuable Information on distribution and importance of thfi fkhrv in tllA Dnmio kaalv. are obtained from returned tags. Anyone returning a tag will have the tag returned for a souvenir and will be furnished with all the known Information regarding his fish. The unit expressed pleasure over the clarity with which the highly colored plastic disk tags are being spotted on the fish in the river. The disks are attached to the backs of the salmon and steelhead by means of a pin through the back under the dor sal fin. Reinstated Ball Players Await Major League Bids NEW YORK, June 7. Uft About recovered from the im pact of Commissioner A. B Chandler's "amnesty" pronounce' ment, organized baseball wonder ed today what to do with the score of players tossed back in its lap. It seemed certain the major leagues would be able to find regular employment for no more than a half-dozen 10 at the most of the athletes now fully for given for running off to the Mexican League In 1946. The St. Louis Cardinals stand to reap the best profit here, get ting back a couple of potentially first-rate pitchers In Max Lanier and Fred Martin and a capable infielder in Lou Klein. The Brooklyn Dodgers also snouid gain some benefit from Mickey Owen, the 33-year-old catcher whose persistent pleading with Chandler had much to do with getting the ban lifted, and Luis Olmo, an outfielder who hit .313 in 1943.

The Giants possibly could find use for infielder George Hause mann and pitcher Harry Feld man. But the rest of the list of rein stated talent provides a large unknown quantity, with most not figured to have a look-in In to day's stepped-up major league play. Many of them were war time replacements or veterans al ready on the way down. Other factors enter Into the picture. How many of the ban ished players will make the nec essary bid for reinstatement?
