Writer The Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs, after having played 34 garnet this season, are still a hitting buncha boys, although averages aren't what they used to be. Fact It, they've been going down in hitting. Notable exceptions to the nose-drive crowd are Norm West, Don Reed, Bunky Hill, Mel Krause, Earl Hampton and Vie Lewis, who have "come up" since the last release of batting averages on July 16. Plywood Team Looks Like Best City Title Bet Determined action is scheduled on the softball diamond tonight as four teams of the City Softball league pair off for the next-to-the-last game of the current season. Umpqua Plywood, with a win tonight, would automatically be in line to represent the city in district play. The league-leading Plywood team- will depend upon pltchert Roy Baughman or "Skip" Hop klnt to pull the wool over Rose burg Elks' eyet in seven innings. Plywood, with four wins so far, and with only two garnet left to play, are almost certain to repre sent the city, provided the under dog Elks don t come up with a surprise pitching package ca pable of holding the mill workers to a minimum number of hits. Umpqua Plywood won the first half championship. Tonight may see them repeat In the second half. Starting tonight's twin bill, at 7:30 o'clock, will be Veterans of Foreign Wart and Schemer Squirts.

Next spring, when he starts coaching the high school baseball crowd In the finer pointa of hit ting, the kidt may rest reason ably assured he'll know what he's talking about. Three other ball players have larger averages than West, but consideration is given to the fact he hat made more official trips to the plate than any other play er, 143, all told. Pitcher Don Reed not only has hurled in a crowd-pleasing fa shion recently, but in two late games he came through with 'Ihree-for-four" each time at bat. This performance raised his hitting score to .519, with 14 Din gles for 27 times at bat. Bunky Hill, Chiefs' coach, Is high on a windy hill with a .471. The Bunk is gaining for himself a reputation of being a very con sistent pinch hitter. The wise money is no longer betting Hill will get a hit Now they're layin' odds on how many sacks the blow will be good for. Earl ("Who's thit guy DiMag gio?") Hampton came up for air after moving to leadoff position in the lineup. On July 16, Hamp was hitting an uneven .093. Three home runs, a triple, a two-bagger and several singles later the Pen dleton horsehide puncher boost ed his batting average to .237. His is probably the most con siderable gain seen in several recent weeks. Pitchers Mel Krause and Vic Lewis came up from .125 apiece to .130 and an even .200 respec tively. Krause, the University of Oregon pitching pride and Joy, continues to ruin opposing bats men's averages, white Vic Lew is, back in the game after a month's layoff while he opened a new office supply business in Roseburg, chucked a neat show against a hustlin' California Mo hawk college crowd. Chief candidates for raised eye brows and double takes are the recent results of heretofore too batting kirks George Sanders and Barney Koch. Sanders Slows Up Sanders laid enough goose eggs in the last seven games to make even the most casual fan ask "wha' happened?" In 26 recent trips to the plate. Sanders biffed exactly four times and dropped from .355 to .315. A redeeming feature is that two of the blows were for home runs one with two men on. Barney Koch, In a slump, ask ed for a lineup change in hopes of improving his score. He "Im proved" it from .373 to .367. But with 12 putouts and 19 assists some of them beauties to his credit, fans aren't paying much attention to the six-point batting drop. Koch. Incidentally, boasts a recent home run with two men on. Another erestwhile solid per former who has been neglecting his wheaties of late, is Jerry Hur gins. In six games, the versatile fielder-catcher dropped from .345 to .309. This was due. for the most part, to a four-for-23 batting performance. Manager Earl Sargent's aver age was Incorrectly given as 1.000 In the previous performance sheet. Overlooked was a none-tor-one mark chalked up by him in the "battle of managers" game played against Oakland.
