In Slaughter
Lopsided Baseball Gam
Ends 23 to 5, With Six
Errors Aiding Locals
By DAN MI.VDOLOVICH
Naw.-Reviw SporU Writer
It wai difficult to determine
where the game ended and the
slaughter began in last night's
baseball exhibition at the loc.il
hall park. At that, it didn't take
too much of baseball fan to de
cide it was not enough game and
too much slaughter.
The Chiefs took the alleged
"contest" 23-5, Powers athletic
club being the sacrificial lamb.
Between 15 hits and 13 walks,
the Chiefs entertained little dif
ficulty in getting on base one
way or another. In a word, the
familiar phrase "everybody gets
a hit" was not mere whimsey.
The Chiefs scored in every inn
ing except the third. Starting
Powers pitcher Tom Grove was
retired from the box in the sixth,
after the Chiefs scored 15 runs
on 10 hits. Don Hull, relieving
pitcher, gave up five hits, which
the Chiefs parlayed into eight
runs.
For Roseburg, Wallv Richard
son achieved six strikeouts, but
i he visitors were able to collect
eight hits, good for three runs,
terry Huggins relieved Richard
son in the ninth. He struck out
the first man, then allowed two
hils before the game ended.
Powers fielded a game, but
youthfully inexperienced. Club
Catcher Duane Brady, only 14
years old, played a creditable
game, although marked with sev
eral miscues. Altogether, Powers
hobbled six times, as against
Roseburg's one error.
Sanders, Coen Star -
Virgie Sanders turned in a per
fect two-for-two, including a tri
ple that scored three runners.
His RBI count for the evening
was five. He was paced in this
deDartment by Jerry Coen, whj,
with a double and a single, scor
ed four base runners.
Norm West's home runs in the
fifth with two men on got a rise
out of the half-filled bleacher sec
tion, as did Jack Bushnell's tri
ple scoring a Powers' runner.
The free-hitting, free-substituting
Chiefs continued to run
amuck. It was paradise for play
ers with an eye to bolstering their
batting averages, but anathema
to scorekeepers with only twelve
fingers with which to count. Six
on each hand, that is.
Llnescore:
r Grove, 5 1-3H Hull and Bra
ndy; Richardson, 8, Huggins and
B. Sanders.

Four Top-Flight Wrestlers
Scheduled For Action Tonight
A two-star wreitling show, lacking the importance of last
wtak'i coast till skirmish, will nonathtltis provide Douglas
county mat followers with virtually everything in the way of
modern wrestling at the Roseburg armory Saturday night.
The main event will match Georges Duiatta, great French-Canadian
muscle man, against the rough and tough Leo Karlinlco,
the so-called "Mad Russian." It will be Dinette's powerful full
nelson against Karlinko's rough-and-tumble tactics, in a match
that might well turn into a bloody brawl.
The three-fall supporting bout will match Al Williams, Chicago
villain, against Pierre LaBelle, another talented French-Canadian.
LaBalle, a World War II navy veteran, will be meeting one of the
most formidable grapplers now appearing in the Northwest.
Williams, an ex-navy champion, hasn't lost a match for months
other than by disqualification. The opener gets under way at
8:30 p. m.
Elton Owen will referee both bouts.

Brooklyn's Dtfaat ly
loston Leads To Protest
Ovtr Ravtrscd Decision
By JOE REICHLER
AMocialcd Pru Sporuwrtlar
The National league pennant
race may be decided In presi
dent Ford Frick's office.
Frick will be asked to rule on
a protest by Manager Burt Shot
ton of Brooklyn of the Dodgers'
S3 defeat at the hands of the
Boston Braves last night.
The loss, together with St.
Louis' 8-2 triumph over Pitts
burgh, dumped the Dodgers into
second olace, a half-game back
of the Cardinals.
Shotton based his protest over
ft decision on Duke Snlder's eighth
inning npie witn one out. The
Brooklyn outfielder's drive, which
according to Umpire Art Core
hit the three-foot screen atop
the centerfield wall, bounded
back on the playing field.
Gore first ruled it a homer,
then reversed himself. Snider
running at full tilt, saw Gore
signal a homer and slowed up
as he c?me into third. He trotted
home without a play being made
on mm.
The Braves, led bp Manager
Billy Southworth, stormed on
the field, protesting the call.
Alter a conference among the
four umpires, Snider was sent
back to third.
Gore said he thought balls
hitting the screen below the rail
ing were home runs. He said he
later realized his error and waved
Snider back to third. Under the
ground rule such a ball Is In
play.
Shotton said Gore's original
call slowed up Snider on the
bases, and that he might have
completed the circuit even with
a play on him. The score was
5-3 at the time. After going back
to third Snider did not score, as
the next two batters popped out.
Last night's defeat not only
knocked the Brooks out of first
place, but snapped their six
game winning streak. A pair of
home runs by Jeff Heath and
Tommy Holmes, each with one
on, did the trick for the Braves.
Gerry Staley, Stan Muslal and
Joe Garagiola combined their
talents to lift the Cards into first
place. Staley stopped the Pitts
burgh Pirates with six hits while
Musial and Garagiola pounded
three-run homers to give the
Redblrds an 8-2 triumph.
Bosox Displace Cleveland
The Boston Red Sox hopped
over the Cleveland Indians into
second place in the American
league race by twice outscoring
the hapless Washington Senators,
15-7 and 13-11, In a doubleheader.
The Sox are five games In back
of the pace-setting New. Vork
Yankees, and a half game In
front of Cleveland. The Indians
dropped a 6-5 verdict to the Chi
cago White Sox. while the Yan
kees walloped the Philadelphia
Athletics, 7-3.
Vern Stephens led the 14-hit
first game assault on four Nat
hurlers with three hits including
his 29th homer, and five runs
batted in. The Sox were forced
to come up with two tallies in the
last of the eighth to snap an
11-11 tie.
Southpaw Tommy Byrne hurled
four-hit ball over the last eight
innings to register his 10th tri
umph for the Yankees.
Herb Adams' single with the
Schneider assistant director, and
Clark Walsh, head of the game
commission's public relations de
partment, also are expected to ap
I ar on the program.
Sports events will continue
throughout the afternoon, follow
ing the program.
John Amacher, president of the
Umpqua Basin council, reports
that many visitors from other
parts of the state have signified
their Intention to attend he event.

If enough horses are entered

'By Tha AJaoelatad Praaal
Slowly but surely the Sacra
mento Solons are closing the gap
on thj front running Hollywood
Stars in the Pacific Coast league.
Today finds the Start only 41
games ahead. That's the closest
any pu--suer has been since May
28. If this keeps up, the experts
any day now will be asking lhat
potent question of whether the
Start "have It" for the itretch
run.
Sacramento edged up there
last night by beating the Lot
Angeles Angels for the fifth
straight time this week. 5-2. A
four-run eighth-inning blast did
the trick.
Hollywood, meantime, seemed
to have the Portland Beavert
under control, 5-2. going Into the
eighth inning. Then Portland
kicked out the props with a six
run outburst that gave them
the contest. 8-5. Hollywood still
leaat ine tenet, 3-1.
Seattle stopped Oakland's win
ning wayt, 5-3, by using pinch
hitters. Frank Colman's pinch
single scored two in the tixth
for Seattle to tie it and Al Lyons'
pinch double In the seventh gave
the Rainiert the margin. The
loss left Oakland six garnet be
hind th-t leaders.
In San Francisco the Seals
came from behind twice to
double-whack the San Diego Pad
res. 10-1 and 4-3. Con Dempsey
marked up his 13th win, against
11 losses, for the Seals In tha
second game.
