Plywood In First
Softball Game
After a series of prolonged de
lays, the Roseburg City Softball
League finally organized itself
into a semblance of a competitive
sporting organization and league
play was launched Monday night
at Finlay Field.
Veterans of Foreign Wars de
feated Umpqua Plywood, 6-5, in
the league opener after seven
innings that almost went into
extra innings as Plywood, with
the tying and winning runners
on base, failed to close the gap
when two succeeding batters
filed out, to end tne game.
The Vets built up a solid five
run lead in the first three in
nings, while Plywood's catcher
Harris was the only man able to
single in three innings.
In the fourth frame, however,
the mill men produced three hits
and two runs, scoring for ihe
first time.
Again in the fourth, Bill Garri
son, Plywood leadoff man, drove
a high fly Into center field that
was dropped. Garrison continued
to circle the bases and came in
on the error, putting Plywood
only two runs behind.
The Vets scored their final run
in the fifth on Ray Bates' single
that turned Into a run when Bob
Bates followed with a double.
The mill boys countered with
another tally In the sixth. Bill
Marsters, substitute catcher,
pounded out a single, then scored
on clouts by three succeeding
batsmen.
Hopes" for a Plywood win ran
high in the top of the seventh.
Forbes, Plywood pitcher, banged
out a three-bagger after Baugh
man, leading off, filed out. An
other single by Chuck Long
brought in Forbes, putting the
count at 6-5, Vets leading.
Bill Benson biffed a hopping
grounder into left field, advanc
ing Long. But with the tying and
winning run on bases, the next
two batters filed out, ending the
game.
Sherner Squlrls and Roseburg
Elks, still lacking manpower,
played a practice game In the
nightcap. The four teams will
make up the City League. Dou
ble headers will be played In fu
ture league contests, the next
one being scheduled for Thurs
day night.

earlier defeat suffered at the
hands of Myrtle Creek, by defeat
inn them in the exhibition tusslej
Myrtle Creek now leads the
Southern Oregon League with
five wins and one loss to Rose

Summer Steelhead Run
In Umpqua Declining
A continuing decline In the
number of summer steelhead in
the North Umpqua River is found
in comparative figures for the
past four years. The four-year
study shows that for the period
through June 15 of each year,
migration of summer steelhead
has been dropping steadily, says
Ross Newcomb, Game Depart
ment biologist in charge of the
Umpqua River study.
By June 15, 1946, counters had
tallied 331 steelheads through the
station. The migration up to June
15 in 1927 was 220. For 1948 the
count was 159. This year only 136
summer steelhead have been
counted through the period end
ing June 15.
The migration of spring Chi
nook salmon continues ahead of
1946 and 1948 but below that of
1947. . ,
The June 15 count on salmon
was reported as follows:

CHICAGO, June 21. UP) For

Although the bout has open

Kell Continues To Top
American Loop Hitters
CHICAGO, June 21. WP
George Kell, Detroit third sacker,
fattened his American League
batting average six points to .352
during the week to zip 30 full
points ahead of the field.
Boston's Dom DiMaggio climb
ed four points to .322 for second
place. ' Last week's runner-up,
Eddie Joost of Philadelphia, skid
ded 12 to .313. Boston's Ted Wil
liams moved from fifth to third
with .314.
of about 6-5, take your pick.
A definite swing to Walcott has
been reported with the present
odds dropping from 7-5 to 1310
for Ezzy, indicating Jersey Joe's
late support probably will send
the two Negro heavies together
at even money.
Charles' comparative youth is
being upheld by his backers as
his most decisive edge. Those
v ho favor Walcott like his
weight advantage of 195 pounds
to Ezzy's 180. .
The big question seems to be
whether the aging Walcott, who
has diligently done 300 miles of
road work and nearly 130 rounds
of sparring in preparing for his
third crack at the heavyweight
bauble, has enough gas to last 15
rounds in case there is no earlier
