Motorcyclists To Vie At Meet. At Cottage Grove Thrills and spills will be the order of the day, as the top cycle riders of the Northwest tackle the course provided by the Cot- xage urove Motorcycle Club lor a Hill Climb the 4th of July. Weeks of preparation have gone into making the hill in grand condition to provide the riders and spectators alike with the best mil climb of the season. The best riders available will be on hand to tackle the hill one that will provide obstacles for the best of them. In addition to the element of competition in vieing for top honors during the meet, the con test has the appearance of a per sonal duel between two former national champions, Casey Jones of Springfield and Johnny Mar tinolich of Portland. On June 5, when these riders tackled Wag ner's Butte near Corvallis, Mai-, tinblich was the only rider to scale the complete climb. Later, however, in The Dalles, Jones beat Martinolich in both the 45 cubic inch and 80-eublc inch events and the Portland star will be out to recapture the top posi tion among the Northwest hill climbers. But neither of these two will have things all their own way Monday afternoon. For such star riders as Joe Nyes of Beaverton, Ralph Mooers of Bend, and Ray Hyland of Eugene, to name but a few, will be on hand to force the "rated" experts to the limit. The site of the Cottage Grove Hill climb is located eight miles south ol Cottage Grove on Hign way 99, with plenty of parking space available. District Referee Tommy Bolen of Milwaukie will officiate. Approximately 20 riders are expected to enter in the three divisions, expert, novice and ama teur. 8IGNS BASEBALL CONTRACT PORTLAND, July 2 UP) Bill Corvallis. 20-year-old Port lander who didn't make the var sity at Oregon State, did better with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Roseburg's All-Stars will face the all Negro club at Finlay Field, starting at 7:15 p.m. The Ghosts float In from Sioux City, where they have been haunting the local baseball park recently. Sunday night's action Is ex pected to be a spirited affair. Admission is 75 and 50 cents. The visiting team has been en joying one of its best seasons, holding an .867 average in wins and losses against all competi tion. Previously a hard-hittine team. the Ghosts this year have on their roster five men who can travel a 100-yard course in 10 seconds, so are mixing drags and bunts with extra-base hits to keep opponents off-balance. In addilion to ton-notch soft- ball, fans will see plenty of rompdv. Ton pompHinn is "Twn. Torf' Favors, famous catcher and team captain. Favors keeps up a running fire of gags and com ments on everyone participating in the game, including his team mates and the umpires. ine greatest sinele attraction In comedy, however, is the shadow-hall game. Almost Impossible to describe. it is a full inning of softball, play ed without a ball. The colored lads choose up teams, and furnish their own umpires. This "contest" features line drives. Hi ed into home plate for put-outs in noth ing nai; laniauzing slow Dans which take a full minute to reach the plate, and a game of burnout In which at least one player gen erally winds up on the turf. The last two putouts are made in slow motion and include a slow motion slide into third base which has to be seen to be believed. Bullet In Waitkus Not Located By Surgeons CHICAGO, July Eddie Waitkus, first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies who was shot by his most fanatical ad mirer, had his lung re-expanded yesterday but surgeons did not find the bullet near his spine. Surgeons at Billings Memorial hospital, where the 29-year-old star was taken, operated to re expand the lung which had been partially collapsed by blood re leased by the wound. Waitkus was on the table more than two hours. The surgeons also looked for the bullet which is lodged near Waitkus' spine, but did not reach it. They said another operation to remove it would not be per formed. ' Waitkus' condition was report ed as satisfactory after the oper ation. No one would say whether he would be able to play ball again this season. fruit pianos stoves pigs hose toys cows washers bricks MA Fill L , 1 ' j ) v UJJ bedding dogs matches veoetahlet Bioe eiaarattes mud seeds rope fy -v wool ammonal w 1 t?Sw feeds fertiliier v V per- t0 rugs 1$' FSr mm i s W Tilt;; LOOKOUT!

By JIM HUBBART Associated Press Sportswriter There's one baseball rule every sandlot player knows by heart. Namely: scoot for first base when the catcher drops the third strike. San Diego's Orestes Minoso forgot it Friday night in a Pacific Coast League scramble with Seattle. And apparently nobody told Sammy White, the Rainiers' catcher, about the third strike rule. The result was a grotesque miscarriage oi tne national pas time. ' ' Bobby Wilson singled In the first inning and moved up. on a wild pitcn. Minoso fanned, then stood at the plate and watched as wnne dropped tne ball. Confusion Mounts Trying to nab Wilson, White tnrew to Leon Mohr at second. Mohr then hit Wilson in the back on toss to third. Seattle shortstop tsoD sturgeon retreived tne ball and fired it to Pitcher Jack Mc Call, who tagged Wilson at the plate but straightway dropped the leather like a hot potato, Meanwhile, Minoso was prod ded by his Padre teammates and started running. He got all the way to second as the Rainiers stood around bemused, but the umpires ruled Minoso was out since he got some assistance in finally setting sail down the base path. Manager Bucky Harris protested, but San Diego went on to take a legitimate 5-2 verdict without the services of their at torney. The series stands at 2-2. Oakland Erupts At Hollywood, Oakland erupted with an eight-run sixth inning and performed a 12-6 autopsy on the league-leading Stars. Holly wood pitchers Pinky Woods and Walt Olsen provided the comedy relief in that one, hitting one bat ter and walking five others. The Oaks needed only two hits In the inning. They evened the series at two each. Portland's Hal Saltzman regis tered a neat five-hit shutout, beat ing Sacramento, 4-0. Luis Mar quez' homer inside the park sparked Portland's attack. The Solons hold a 3-2 edge in the series. Los Angeles descended further Into the cellar by losing to San Francisco, 4-3. The Seals won it on a pinch-hit double by Brooks Holder with two on in the eighth. The victory gave the O'Douls a 3-1 bulge in the series. Roseburg And Sutherlin Legion Teams Matched Attracting almost as much In terest as the coronation of the Timber Days Centennial Queen last night, will be the Roseburg Sutherlin Junior Legion League game to be played at Sutherlin this afternoon. Barney Koch's talented group will travel to the north side city in full force. Expected to par ticipate in today's action are the following Roseburg players: Mickey Coen, If; John Rauschert, c; Glen Scotield, lb; Leo Bowers, ss; Claren Hooper, p; Stumbo, 3b; H. Stumbo, cf; Diz Burnett, rf, and Dexter Garey, 2b. DRAINBOARD TOPS No doubt you are one of these unfortunates who have had trouble with linoleum drainboards. Come in and see our new Formica tops. Beautiful and Permanent COEN SUPPLY COMPANY Everything For The Builder Floed A Mill Sts. n Night Pitching Star Fails To Repeat Yins Harry Brecheen Proves Disappointing As Cards Lose To Cincinnati By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer What happened to Harry Bre cheen's after dark magic? The wiry little St. Louis Cardi nal soutnpaw was poison at night last season. Under the lights he had a 14-3 mark enroute to his line 20-7 season. After winning three night starts early this season, he lost his touch. The Cat has failed to finish his last four owl starts. His latest disappointment really hurt. With a chance to tie the Brook lyn Dodgers for the National League lead by whipping Cin cinnati last night, the Red Birds flopped, 10 to 2. Brecheen started, but faded for a pinchhitter in the fourth. St. Louis trailed 30 and the lowly Reds had four hits off the Cat who walked five. Norm ally he passes only one or two in a nine-inning job. Third Card Loss The pasting bv Cincinnati. which has been staggering to ward the cellar, was the third Card loss in their last five games against second division opposi tion. Brooklyn stubbed Its toe on New York's Dave Koslo in an afterroon setback, 4-1, that gave St. Louis a chance to close the gap. Don Newcombe was unable to hold an early 1-0 lead and final ly was knocked out for the first time in a month while the Giants were enroute to a three-run rally in the eighth. Vern Bickford gave the Boston Braves control of third place as he hit the 10-wiri mark with a 12 inning decision over the Phillies. 21. The young righthander singled to start the 12th, rode to third on Eddie Stanky's single and scored on Al Dark's game winning single. Muncrlef Winning Pitcher Bob Muncrlef. recently sold bv Pittsburgh to Chicago for the waiver price, pitched the Cubs to a 6-5 edge over the Pirates in a relief role. Muncrief came on after Dutch Leonard was knocked out in the fourth. Charley Keller, another one of Casey Stengel's cripples, took his turn at giving the New York Yankees a lift. He hit a pinch triple with two men on to climax a four-run rally in the ninth inning. The Yanks came from way back to nip Washington, 5-4, with Joe DiMaggio confining his activities to one single and a walk in four trips. Eddie Joost, the Philadelphia A's sparkplug, had a great night, driving in five runs with three hits, including his 17th homer, in a 11-5 romp over Boston. The victory left the A's five and a half games back of the leading Yanks. Cleveland iook over mira place bv dumping tne at. Louis Browns, 31, on Al Benton's six-hitter, while Detroit was being blanked by Chicago's Bin wignt, 4-u. Sneed Hits 'Em Hard But Fails With Putts WASHINGTON.

Whipple Sand Flees Bear Drain Lions Club Team The Whipple Sand Flees de feated the Drain Lions Club soft ball team 10 8 in a league game played at Drain earlier this week. In the first part of the double header, the Kilowatts rode- herd on the Woolley Cattle Rustlers bv a score of 10-9. The cattle Rust lers were without the services of Big Jim Stoop, their curve ball artist. His absence reported ly worked considerable hardship for the Rustlers. Another softball team has been added to the Drain league. En titled the Whipple Tuba Scant lings, they start play next week. HERE WEDNESDAY Albert Cartmlll is the Kansas City Monarch's capable shortstop from Ft. Madison, la. He was one of the outstanding players ever to come from that terri tory. Cartmill is only 19 and is the youngest man on the team. He handles himself like a vet eran, however, end is a long bell hitter with plenty of power. Exhibition Baseball Tilt Scheduled With Monarchs Roseburg Is scheduled for a real baseball treat Wednesday, July 6, when the Umpqua Chiefs play the Kansas City Monarchs In an exhibition tilt at Finlay Field. The Kansas City Monarchs are touring the United Slates and Canada, playing about 160 games with ball clubs in most of the Central, Western and Northwest ern states and three providences oi Canada, ine Monarchs last year played to over 200,000 fans in their 50,000 mile tour and won 86 per cent of the games played. Last year the famous Satchel Paige started the season with the Monarchs, playing 27 eames with them before being sold to the Cleveland Indians. Many of the players on the team are boys picked by Palce himself and the team's greatest pleasure is hearing that "Old Satch" won another game. Managing the Monarchs Is a man who has rated along side Paige for the last 20 vears as one of the greatest outfielders in Negro baseball. Ills name is "Cool Papa" Bell. He was nick named "Cool Papa" because of his coolness while on the field. For over 20 years, Bell was the fastest man in Negro baseball and today, like Paige, is still a dangerous man to play against. Bell managed Paige's All Stars last fall in several post season games In California against Gene Beardcn's All Stars. Paige's group won two out of three games In the scries. & 1 Su'rt Yourself at Joe Richards 7 (Mi A Telephoto) .
