Chiefs Blank Junction City Reds, 12-0 Richardson Holds Visitors To Six Bingles Locals Enjoy Swatfest; Final Tally Scored On Hampton's Four-Bagger Wally Richardson pitched the Roseburg Chiefs to a 12 0 shutout in a return exhibition game with the Junction City Reds at Finlay Field Wednesday night. Never in trouble. Richardson was relieved after the sixth by Mel Krause, however, after the Chiefs had the game well-sewed up. The Chiefs amply repaid the Reds for an earlier 8-0. defeat handed the Roseburg club nearly two months ago. Roseburg started hitting early In last night's con test and only In the second and third frames did they fail to . score. Junction City Is tied for first place In the powerful Lane-Douglas League, but last night they appeared to be completely off. Chiefs' Manager Earl Sargent started sending In substitutions after the fifth, and nearly every one but the batboys took a crack at the ball. Fans were treated to a taste of things to come in the first inning when, with two men on, Norm West drilled one Into the football field that was good for three bases. Ted Wilson and George Sanders scored on the blow. A double by Pete Coor In the second was wasted on two suc cessive outs. In the fourth, Virg Sanders singled and Coor drew a walk. Both scored on Richard son's single. Barney Koch singled and Richardson made It to third. Squeeze Play Pulled The fans got a laugh when Koch, trying to steal second, was trapped between the second and first basemen. While Koch was being squeezed, Richardson streaked for home, hitting the plate just after the catcher took 'the peg from first. Koch con tinued to second on the attempted force out at home. West singled and scored In the fifth, when Jerry Hugglns' grounder to first was muffed. In the sixth Inning, Koch and Wilson both singled, advanced on erroi-3 and scored. Jerry Coen walked In the sev enth, then Bunky Hill raised his batting average to .500 the same Inning when he singled after re placing Richardson. Hill's hit was a signal for another Roseburg drive.

PHONE 446 U-4.W 1 I 1 Joe DiMaggio Gets 2 Homers As Yanks Win Red Sox Knocked Back Into Second Division; Brooks, Cards Both Win By JACK HAND Associated Pr.ss Sporuwriter The same old Joe DiMaggio! ; Three home runs in two days, six runs batted In and a .500 bat tine average. That's the stuff that made a $90,000 salary. Big Joe electrified a giant-sized Tuesday night crowd at Boston with a homer and single in his first league appearance since he limped off that same Boston field last October. That was only the beginning. Yesterday he hammered two homers, one with two men on base, drove In four runs and per sonally accounted for tne Yanks 9-7 edge over the Red Sox. This was the big series for the Sox. Ko nff fast at nome tney had climbed to within five games of the Yanks. A series sweep ana they would have been up there knocking on the door. Instead thev trail the Yanks by seven games and are back in the second division. Joe D. is the man re sponsible. DiMag boosted the Yanks back in the game after Boston clubbed wild Tommy Byrne from the hill in the four-run first inning. Joe's homer with two men on off Ellis Kinder left the Sox with a 7-4 lead in the fifth. After Gene Woodling's double wllh the bases loaded tied the score in the seventh, DeMagglo Hit his game-winning blow off loser Earl Johnson witn tne Dases empty in the eighth. Cleveland, Detroit Split Cleveland averted disaster with a six-run rally in the last of the ninth Inning to down Detroit, 8-7, after they were shut out, 4-0, by Hal Newhouser in the twilight opener of a rioubleheader. Bobby Feller let down the swel tering crowd of 65,243 when the fleers knocked him out in a seven-run fifth inning. But the Tribe bounced back to win for reliefer Steve Gromek when pinch hitter Bob Lemon doubled oft Dizzy Trout witn tne oases loaded in the last of the ninth. Carl Scheib finally got himself untracked, breaking a six-game losing streak with a 7-4 edge for Philadelphia over Washington. The result kept the second place As, 41 games behind the Yanks. Ned Carver edged Walt Pierce In a tight duel as the St. Louis Browns knocked off the Chicago White 'Sox. 1-0. Dick Kokos' eighth-Inning single broke the scoreless tie. Dnrlners. Cards Both Wlrf Brooklyn and St. Louis kept In step in the hot National League chase as the Dodgers protected their one-same margin by defeat- ing the Phillies, 5-1. The Cards clung to their heels by bouncing C h eaeo. 7-4. Ralph Branca let down the Phils with five hits to hit the 10- win mark, first to do the trick in the National. Curt Simmons gave un all live Dodger scores. Ralph Kiner had a big day for Pittsburgh witn a ciouoie ana a bases-loaded home run in their 7-3 romp over Cincinnati.

Hollies Wallop Oaks; Portland, Sacramento Split IB? the Associated Press) The Hollywood Stars are on the rampage again. Smarting from a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Oakland Tuesday night, the Stars stormed back last night and lambasted four Acorn hurlers in a 14 to 2 thump ing. Frankie Kellehers bat was really smoking. He smackerooed two homers, each a three-runner. In all he drove in seven of the Stars' 14 counters. In the second inning Hollywood scored seven runs on five hits. Southpaw Art Schallock went the route for Hollywood, allow ing the Acorns eight hits while his team got 15. The win again put the Pa cific Coast League leading Stars seven games ahead of second- ' place Seattle. Portland and Sacramento split a twin bill. The one that the Solons won, combined with the Oakland loss, put Sacramento in third place in the standings, re placing the Acorns. In the first game the Beavers shelled Orval Grove from the mound In the sixth inning and went on to win, 4 to 2, a seven-inning tilt. But Ken Holcomhe had too many curves for Portland in the night cap, giving up only five hits, and the Solons won the full length contest, 3 to 1. San Francisco's Seals moved from seventh to sixth in the race by whipping the Los Angeles An gels 6 to 2. The San Diego Padres squared their series at a game apiece when Dick Barrett stopped a ninth Inning threat and his team beat Seattle, 6 to 2. The Padres coasted into the last frame with a 6-0 lead. But the Rainlers put on a stiff rally, got two runs and then loaded the sacks. How ever, Barrett fanned pinch hitter Jackie Albright to end the gama.
