Umpqua Chiefs Down Reedsport, 7 to 3 Visiting Team Limited To Six Scattered Hits (km Decided In Seventh Inning Batting Rampage That Produces S Tallies Br faet-Aevlew IporU Wrlterl Ball garnet can be exciting, but extremely rough on th nerves. Wltneee Tuesday night's exhibi tion contest between the Rone-burg- Chiefs and the visiting Reedsport clan. Spectators sitting in the Finely Field bleachers al ternately saw the Chiefs come from behind, eat dust on the trail ing end of the score, then surge ahead in a wild, free-hitting sev enth inning which saw the entire Roseburg lineup parade to bat. ' When the final Reedaport bat ter flew out, Roseburg was on top of a 7-S score. Roy Long, who pitched the last two innings, was credited with the win, after pinch-hlttlng Bunky Hill replaced starting Hurler Vic Lewi In the batting order, while the Chiefs were still down by a run. Hill started the seventh Inning rally with a looping pop-fly into short right field, just over the atretched-out glove of second baseman Bob Fox. Bobby San ders reached third on a single by Barney Koch and a bad peg by Junior Dewltt, which caught bat ter Ted Wilson on the hip. George Sanders dribbled one into the Infield, which was gicked up and relayed home as obby Sanders tried to tie up the game. George took, first on the choice throw. Then Norm West made a hero out of himself by tmacklng a sin gle into center field that per mitted Koch and Wilson to cross home the tying and winning runs putting Roseburg ahead, 4-3. . George was knocked in by brother Virgie, who slammed a base hit. West and Virgie ad vanced on double steals, then Lovell Baker, in one of his rare hitting moods, parked the ball in left field, to gain his third base hit in four trips. He also scored Went in the process. Virgie scored the final Rose burg run when Pete Coor ground ed out short to first. Reedsport started the scoring In the third inning, when Millard Burt tallied on a wild pitch after singling. Barney Koch opened the count in the Chiefs' portion of the third when he was knocked in by Ted Wilson's single. Roseburg pulled ahead in the fourth, when West, who singled into left, scored on catcher Babe Peterson's passed ball, but Reeds port snapped back with additional tallies in the fifth, when a sin- gle by Bob Horton and a double y Millard Burt ended up as runs. Reedsport pitcher Clyde De wltt Jr., was tapped for 10 hits, live of them coming in the big seventh inning. Rosesurg's starting pitcher Lewis was tapped for five bin gles. Including two doubles, one each by Peterson and Burt. The box! 1 6 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Wed., June 22, 1949 Walcott's Record Rated As Offset To His Age In Battle With Charles For Top Title CHICAGO, June 22. ( API Jersey Joe WalcoH, fighting 35-year-old lather of six children, and Ezzard Charles, a belting bachelor of 180 pounds, battle for the world heavyweight boxing title (NBA version) at Comiskey park tonight (9:30 p.m. est). The crowd, like the choice of fighters, was a take-your-pick proposition with around 25,000 the best guess. The weatherman, however, promised clear, cool weather to perk up general ad mission sales. Walcott was expected to scale 194. That would give him an ap proximate 15-pound weight pull if Cincinnati's 27-year-old Charles came in at a likely 179. It was exactly .12 years ago tonleht in Comiskey Park that Joe Louis sledge-hammered the heavyweight crown oil tne scar red brow of James J. Braddock. Louis retired as undefeated Morton, a.

Apparently the gam blers, like the fight writers, were beginning to minimize Ezzy's age advantage in the face of Wal cott's 130-pro bout experience and two ague periormances against then-champion Louis. More and more, I hey recalled how Walcott toppled Louis twice In their first meeting and lost a highly-debated decision only be cause he climbed on his bicycle In the closing rounds. Each fighter will get 2S per cent of net receipts, plus a like slice of radio and television sugar, estimated at $35,000. For arm-chair fans, the fight will be broadcast (ABC) and on television INBC). Tonight's winner will not be recoenlzed as world chamnion by the New York State Athletic commission or tne Biltlsn Box ing Board. Then there are whispers, ve hemently denied hy Louis, that the Brown Bomber himself may emerge from retirement to get another whack at a big purse, es pecially if Charles win tonight. In event of a postponement, the bout will be held tomorrow or Friday. BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE New York .... Phllirttlphla Doit-oil ...... Boa ton : ClevfrJanrt Wnnhlngton ...
