In Deciding
Game, 12 To 7
Schtrner Squirts Open
Season's Second Half
By Trimming Elks, 4-3
Umpqua Plywood annexed the
first-half City league Softball
championship by defeating Vet
erans of Foreign Wars, 12-7, In
nine Innings at Flnlay field last
night.
In the twilight contest, Scher
ner Squirts gained a second-half
first place tie with Plywood by
defeating Roseburg Elks 4-3 in
seven Innings.
The titular game was a frantic
affair with the score being tied
twice before Plywood forged
ahead on six tallies In a big sev
enth Inning.
Vets earned the lead in the
opening stanza but Plywood took
over in the third on three runs
across. The Vets came back with
two more counters In the fifth to
tie up the game at three-all.
Vets surged ahead In the sixth
with two runs, but Plywood tied
It up again with two runs of their
own in the bottom half of the
same frame.
Then in the seventh, Bill Ben-
son, ace Plywood first sacker, with
tnree men on, smacKea one into
deep, center good for four bases.
Martinson followed with a single,
scoring Bill Garrison. Martinson
came In on an overthrow to rack
up the sixth tally.
Behind six runs, the vets con
tinued to struggle '.J the end. Ply
wood added another run in the
eighth for good measure while
the Vets continued to goose-egg.
Then in the bottom of the ninth,
the Vets came to life with two
runs, but that proved to be too lit
tle and too late.
Other home run hitters were
Noble White, Plywood, In the third
with one man on, and Larsen,
VFW, with Larry Strode on.
8qulrti Edgt Elks
In the opening game, Squirts
tapped pitcher Walton for 10 hits
but good Elks fielding kept all but
four base runners from scoring.
The lodge brothers made every
one of their three hits count for
runs.
The soft drink lads scored three
times in the fourth on three hits
and an error. They never scored
after that
Excitement ran high in the
sixth, when Elks scored twice and
were within one run of tleing up
the ball game. Louis McAllister,
Elks catcher, got to third base
and was waiting for a chance to
spurt home and tie up the ball
game, but three succeeding outs
ended the rally.

Pacific Coast league pitchers
were mighty stingy Wednesday
mgnt three games were won
on three-hit shutout performanc
es. Another was a six-hitter. .
One of the three-hitters came
from the arm of Sacramento's
Ken Holcombe. The 4-to-O tri
umph over San Diego brought
the fast-moving Solons to with
in 61 games of the league-leading
Hollywood Stars.
Hal Saltzman, who was re
leased a year ago by Seattle,
had sweet revenge on the Ralni
era. He threw a three-hitter at
them and enabled his Portland
Beavers to cop a 3-tc-0 win. It
gave Saltman a 14 won and six
lost record for the season. He
allowed none of his former team
mates to get past second base.
The third three-hitter was the
work of Lefty Lou Tost of Oak
land, who notched a 3-to-O win
from the San Francisco Seals.
Mel Duezabou's two-run homer
took stick honors for the Oaks.
Hollywood and Los Angeles
split a marathon doublehcuder.
The Stars rallied to nab the
opener, 3-to-2, In the extra clghlh
Inning. It was a scheduled seven
Inning affair. Pinky Woods al

seven In chalking up his 14th
win. In the loosely-played night

Yankees Down
Cleveland By
Score Of 7-3
Brooklyn Defeated By
Pirates As Cardinals
Wallop Boston Braves
By JACK HAND
(Auociated Preu Sports Writer)
Larry Doby's "skull" and Joe
Di Magglo's hitting have put the
cooler on Cleveland's pennant
drive at least temporarily.
Doby drew a fine jf an un
disclosed amount last night aft
er he was thrown out trying to
steal home with the bases load
ed and nobody out in the eighth
inning. Doby's Cleveland mates
trailed the league-leading New
York Yankees, 7-3 at the time.
That turned out to be the final
score.
Lefty Joe Page, who had just
replaced "steady Eddie" Lopat,
was having his troubles. He
walked manager Lou Boudreau
on four straight pitches to force
in a run. He hadn't found the
plate in two' tosses to Bob Ken
nedy. Then it happened.
Doby broke for the plate as
Page walked back toward the
resin bag. The pitcher whirled
and threw to catcher Yogi Berra,
who tagged Doby as he dove
head first across the plate. Page
proceeded to walk Kennedy.
Then he found his stuff to fan
Jim Hegan and make pinch-hitter
Ken Keltner ground to Bob
by Brown.
There seemed to be no ex
cuse for Doby. Third base coach
Steve O'Neill didn't send him
in, although the crowd of 75,340
booed him. Doby s club trailed
by four runs. It definitely was
not any situation for a steal.
Dl Maggio, who lifted the
Yanks past Boston when they
threatened in late June, drove
In three runs with a triple and
a homer and scored twice as the
Yanks again stretched their lead
to 4s games.
Chisox Win In 9th
The Boston Red Sox drooped
8i games behind the leaders by
bowing to the Chicago White Sox
8-7. The White Sox won in the
ninth on a triple by George Met
kovich, two intentional passes
and Eddie Malone's outfield fly,
scoring Metkovich.
Detroit pushed over three runs
In the eighth to shade Washing
ton, 6-5. johnny Lipon's squeeze
bunt single scored Hoot Evers
with the winning run. Evers led
me attack with three singles oil
loser Mickey Harris.
Brooklyn Loses Ground
Brooklyn lost a full game of
its advantage in the National.
The St. Louis Cardinals clipped
tsrooKtyn s margin to a games
by a 10-lnning night game de
cision over the Boston Braves,
6-4, after the Dodgers lost an
afternoon, 8-6 verdict to the on
rushing Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ralph Kiner lowered the boom
on the Brooks, driving in five
runs with home runs Nos. 25
and 26. His second homer came
In the top of the ninth with two
men on and Brooklyn leading,
6-5.
Lou Klein, one of the three
Cards who returned to organized
nan irom tne Mexican league,
belted a two-run double that
broke up the Boston game In the
10th Inning. The Braves routed
Howie Pollet with four runs in
the second inning.
Sautr Hat Big Day
Hank Sauer drove in all the
Chicago Cubs' runs with two
homers and a triple In their 11
Inning. 4-3, victory over the Phil
lies. Sauor, who hit only four
homers for Cincinnati, now has
14 as a Cub and 18 for the year.
His triple off reliefer Curt Sim
mons scored Andy Pafko who
scored in the eleventh.
The New York Giants set a
new major league consecutive in
ning scoring record while whip
ping Cincinnati, 5-1. By scoring
In each of the "first' three 'in

PAL Troupe, Ages 6 To 21.
To Offer Public Free Show
In Athletics At Finlay Field
Tonight at Finlay field, a talented group of athletes ranging
in age from 6 to 21, will put on a two-hour boxing, wrestling and
tumbling show that starts at 7:30 o'clock and which is free to
the public.
Approximately 18 youths connected with PAL, a Portland or
ganization dedicated to helping boys keep from becoming "de
linquents," will participate in tha show.
Mickey Pease, young Portland
policeman, is the originator of
the PAL Idea, which dates back
to 1945. He decided there wasn't
enough being done to keep boys
off the street corners, so he set
out to do something about it.
Result: 400 bovs are members
of PAL, Inc., and are entitled to
the privileges extended by the
organization, which includes box
ing, wrestling, tumming, ping
pong, softball, basKetball, lenc
ing, gymnastics and other body
building and mind-sharpening
activity.
The boys pay one dollar a year
to belong, but any boy who can
furnish proof of inability to pay
is given a honorary free card.
The Portland police has noth
ing to do with PAL, but Pease
has been detailed by the depart
ment to direct the gym. He
keeps in close touch with the
juvenile court and any borderline
case is invited to Join PAL.
The Loyal Order of Moose is
financing the PAL tour, the pur
pose of which is two-fold. The
boys have an opportunity to va
cation in southern Oregon towns
and the other objective is to im
press upon each community a
sense of responsibility for the
guidance and direction of their
youth.
After a visit to The Dalles last
summer, The Dalles police
launched Its own PAL program.

Alumni Assn. Has
First Call For
Football Tickets
The clamor for football season
tickets to University of Oregon
games has begun. Jim Aiken's
198 Pacific Coast Conference co
champion Ducks team will be
seen in action by jam-packed
grandstand and bleacher sections
this fall.
Pre-season predictions Indicate
every Duck game will be a sell
out. Tickets will be scarce and
worth their weight in uranium
capsules. '
Football season tickets and
single game application forms to
Webfoots games are now being
mailed by the athletic depart
ment of the University of Ore
gon to all members of the Alumni
association.
George Luoma, Roseburg attor
ney and University of Oregon
alumni association director for
Douglas county, said association
members are entitled to prefer
ence season tickets ahead of sev
en other classifications.
"This year more than ever be
fore members of the Alumni as
sociation will benefit by purchase
of season tickets," Luoma stated.
The Roseburg attorney pointed
out the "impossibility of provid
ing every fan with a seat on the
50-yard line" and added that now
it is becoming "increasingly dif
ficult to provide choice seats be
tween, the goal lines."
Luoma lists many reasons for
lack of adequate seating at Uni
versity of Oregon football games.
Among these are increased stu
dent enrollment, greater number
of alumni and general growth in
the population of the Eugene
area and other areas in the state.
"It is no longer possible for the
University to provide single gams
ticket buyers with seats compar
able to those secured in the past,"
Luoma warned. "Emphasis Is
placed on season tickets.
Douglas county residents who
are graduates or former students
of the University of Oregon are
urged by Luoma to apply for
Alumni association membership
at the University of Oregon
Alumni association in Eugene,
and to further apply for prefer
ence season tickets at the ath
letic department of the Universi
ty of Oregon in Eugene.
Luoma advised that member
ship in the association is $3 for
one year, $5.50 for two years, 510
for five years and $60 for life
membership.
