Chiefs Tip Visitors Score Their Runs In 6th And 7th Locals Fail To Tally After 5th; Reed Touched For 15 Safe Bingles Next-to-the- cellar -dwelling Grants Pass Merchants nearly spoiled Roseburg's day at Finlay Field Sunday. The Chiefs won, 7-6, but not without a fight. The win was Roseburg's fifth in seven Southern Oregon league starts. The Chiefs were ready to rest on their fifth-inning laurels, at which time five hits and five runs put Roseburg ahead seven to zero. Then the visitors with a never-say-die look in their eves spat on their hands, pound ed the plate and adjusted, their caps. They warned the Chiefs with two runs off two hits in the sixth. Taking a page out of Roseburg's own book, the Merchants parley ed four hits into five runs in a big seventh inning. Neither team scored after that ' although Jerry Huggins thumped a hard triple in the seventh making it three for four for him and a Grants Pass man reach ed third in the eighth, with one away. Reed Allows 15 Hits Winning pitcher Don Reed was tapped for 15 hits in nine innings. This included a two-bagger by Skip Brecount In the sixth, and a home run with one on by Jack Lutz in the seventh. Reed struck out six. Ted Wilson rapped out the first Roseburg hit in the first stanza. He scored on a steal home. Earl Hampton singled in Norm West in the third. Reed started the fifth inning batting merry-go-round when his fast grounder took a bad hop in front of the Merchant shortstop. Then Barney Koch drove one be tween the second baseman's legs and Ted Wilson singled. George Sanders batted in Reed with a base hit and Koch came in as West grounded out, short to first. Hampton drew a walk, then Jerry Huggins slammed one into right field, on which Wilson and George Sanders scored. Reed, up again, firsted on an error and Hampton 'tallied on what should have been the third out.

The colorful non-English speak ing Indian got off to a bad start and his wily opponent quickly applied the pressure with a Bos ton Crab. The kid's manager, Yaqui Joe, saw the light and threw in the towel. But In equally quick second and third falls, Yaqui Kid matched Pacer's mean tactics and exper ience with youthful cleverness, quick thinking and agility. This combination paid off. In exactly 7:52, the dynamic redskin had Pacer in a vicious abdominal stretch, and happy Yaqui Kid fans were quick with cheers and applause. Pacer tried desperately to come back in the final go, but the Yaqui Kid was not to be denied. He maneuvered Pacer into a flying toe-hold and that was that. Equally colorful was the Szasz Falletti go. The older Falletti fought with grim determination and occasionally it looked bad for the fans' favorite. But Szasz, with a bag of potent tricks, quickly dusted his opponent. He took the first fall with an arm-bar pre ceeded by elbow slams and a series of whip wristlocks a favorite Szasz maneuver. The strong-man from the "show-me" state cinched the con test with a reverse-twisting arm lock in the second heat. Sex-Crazed Vet Murders Woman, Mutilates Body MORRISON, la., June 27.

The As beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-2, on Pinch Hitter Wally Moses' three run double In the eighth, but the Sox came back to win the second, 3-0. Bob Kuzava and Marino Pierettl combined to spin the snutout.

Dual Fuel System For Automobiles Goal Of Research For Industries By DAVID J. WILKIE Associated Press Automotive Editor DETROIT UP) Automotive and petroleum industry engineers are doing a lot of research on dual fuel systems. ine goal, oi course, is to get more miles per dollar out of gasoline costs. Right now, the experts say, the average motorist wastes more gasoline than he uses. Part of this is due to the Inefficient combustion. Most of it, however, results from the fact the motorist has to carry higher quality fuel than he needs at all times. The ideal dual fuel system would feed the engine higher quality fuel for starting and heavy going only. Once the car is under way and moving on fairly level surface, lower grade fuel would be used. One leading car maker In co operation with a widely known petroleum expert is understood to nave made some signillcant advances In dual fuel research. Heart of the system Is the car buretor which automatically switches from one . to another quality of fuel.

Winter Sports Areas Popular Winter sports areas on the na tional forests of Oregon and Washington attracted 535,582 visi tors last winter, according to fig ures just released by the U. S. forest service. For the first time 1 on record, Washington forest areas had more winter sports visitors than Oregon. Abnormal snowfalls and bliz zards closed some of the popular national forest ski areas for sev eral weeks at the peak of the season, and as a result there was a region-wide decrease of 19 per cent from the 1947-48 winter sports use. One result of the heavy snow fall, according to regional forester H. J. Andrews, was that many school children were able to ski and toboggan on slopes In their own communities while the major areas were closed. For instance, Portland teen-agers enjoyed win ter sports activities on local golf courses and city parks Jnstead of going to Government Camp or Timberline lodge. Actually, there was no reduc tion in winter sports participation In Oregon and Washington, but rather a reduction In the use of national forest winter sports areas because of the unusual weather.
