Umpqua Plywood prrors cost
plenty in the final City Ipaeue
softball game played at Flnlay
field last night.
The Schemer Squirts helped
themselves to our runs on as
many Plywood mlscues, to win,
7-3, after a fast seven Innings
that saw the lead favor first one
team then the other.
The win gave the Squirts the
second half championship and
the right to meet Plywood, first
half winners, In a three-game
playoff to decide the Rosehurg
representative to the district
tournament.
A fair sized Softball crowd saw
both teams battle for the lead in
a low-scoring seven-inning pitch
ers' battle.
Swede Vang, Squirts' hurler,
held the Plvwood players to five
hits, while his rival, Roy Baugh
man, allowed seven blngles.
The Squirts fielded the ball per
fectly, while four Plywood bob
bles figured prominently In the
way the game turned out.
Plln Laurance, Squirts lead
off hitter, scored the first run
of the game. He smacked out a
triple then tallied on a fielder's
choice, but Plywood matched the
run with one of their own In the
bottom half of the first. J. While,
Issued a base on balls, came home
on a wild pitch by Vang.
In the second, Squirts failed to
score, but Plywood sneaked
ahead when Long, who walked,
scored on a three-base blow by
Baughman.

Enos Slaughter, me St. Louis
Cardinals' "ball player's ball
player," is a living proof that
baseball experts are a funny
race.
In preseason polls, the majori
ty of scribes Ignored St. Louis as
a pennant threat because the
Cards "were too old." Thus,
without saying so, they pointed
the finger at Slaughter, who, at
33, was the oldest regular on the
club.

Wallop Lions At
Myrtle Creek
Veterans hospital All Stars
li unched a first-inning attack
against Myrtle Creek Lions to
win, 10-4, after seven Innings of
Twilight league action at Myrtle
Criek last night.
Aided by nine Lions' errors, the
All-Stars encountered no trouble
staying ahead of their opponents.
Al.-Star pitcher D. Edward held
the civic organization to fix scat
tered hits,, while Lions' hurler H.
Barnes gave up eight blows. .
The hospital men garnered four
hits in the initial inning, in
cluding singles by pitcher Ed
wan , T. Anthony and F. Lloyd,
while A. Russcll s RBI count of
thrte stood the Stars in good
stead.
The All-Stars continued to tap
Barnes for a hit in each of the
last 'our innings, while Lions' hits
were bunched in the first, fourth
and last two innings.
Errors were costly and iive All
Star runs were scored that way.
Edward, the winning pitcher,
struck out eight, while allowing
three walks. Barnes fanned seven;
gave up two walks.
Left fielder T. Anthony's three-tor-four
batting mark was the
best for the All-Stars, while Rut-
National league flag. Why? Be
cause of the presence of this
same Enos Slaughter.
Slaughter's current batting av
erage of .331 Is exceeded only by
Jackie Robinson's .364.
Enos enjoyed one of his biggest
"days" last night when he wal
loped two home runs and drove
in six runs to lead the Cards
to a 9-3 victory over the Cin
cflipatl Reds.
The Redblrds needed the tri
umph to maintain their first
place tie with Brooklyn, as the
Dodgers already had nipped the
New York Giants. 21.
Those were the only games
plaved In the majors.
Walks Aid Cardinals
Slaughter's one-man foray en
abled Howie Pollet to register
his 15th victory although he was
touched up for a dozen hits. The
Cards could get only five safeties
off loser Kent Petprson and three
successors, but took advantage
of seven bases on balls.
Four straight walks In the
fourth forced a Cardinal run
across and left the bases loaded.
Epos promptly unloaded them
with his second four-bagger of
1 fie game and 10th of the season.
Slaughter hit his first homer in
the third with Nippy Jones
aboard.
Newcombe Hurls 4-Hltter
Big Don Newcombe pitched on.
of his best games of the year In
subduing the Giants with four
hits, for his 11th victory. The
Giant Negro righthander had a
three-hit shutout until the ninth
when Whltey Lockman sent his
first serve over the right field
screen to spoil the shutout-bid.
Jackie Robinson was the big
gun for the Dodgers. He slashed
his 13th homer in the second and
set the stage for the winning run
in the eighth with a single that
sent Carl Furlllo to third. With
he bases loaded and two out,
loser Dave Koslo walked pinch
hitter Bruce Edwards to force
Furillo over the plate.
