Of the 15 to face Krause In a little more than one inning 11 crossed home on six hits and five walks. Reed took over; held the visi tors to a solitary hit in four Inn ings, but In the seventh, Medford suddenly surged ahead, with two runs on four hits, to end a Rose burg threat.

George Sanders, voted by the Chiefs the most inspirational player on the team, proved the pudding by getting the first Chiefs hit of the game In the fourth a two bagger. He also knocked In the first run on the blow. West followed with a sin gle and Jerry Hugglns did the same, scoring both West and George.

Virgie Sanders singled in Hamp ton and George flew out to retire the side. From near-despair, the Chiefs' hopes arose to a new high as the scoreboard showed they were be hind only four runs. In the sixth Koch socked a sin gle into the center fielder's di rection, then stretched it Into a run, when Medford's Pat Patter son committed the first error of the ballgame. Krause drew a fielder's choice In the sixth, then scored when de pendable Hampton came through with a two-base blow.

Homer and Triple A home run by Lou Corrado and a triple by Tex Chandler in the seventh had the wrong psy chological effect on the Chiefs, and although no one in the Rose burg camp gave up, these blows appeared to put the writing on the wall.

I Jack Kiser Beats Yaqui Kid After Torrid Battle Royal Six wrestling stalwarts battled royally at the Roseburg armory for the $250 prize purse, which popular Jack Kiser, Portland, won after he pinned Yaqul Kid in the main heat Saturday night. A lesser $100 purse went to Pierre LaBelle, winner of the seml-wlndup. The six-man affair was a crowd pleaser from tne word "go ana it was difficult to determine who was winning for many minutes. Yakui Kid and his manager Ya qui Joe teamed up, while Pierre LaBelle and Jack Kiser shook hands in a temporary alliance. Both teams concentrated on dis posing of the two meanies, Billy MrEuin and Tony Falletti. Yaqul Joe was the first to go and McEuin followed shortly thereafter both victims of plle ups. They were literally squash ed Into the canvas. Frenchman Ousted LaBelle went next. Yaqul Kid leveled the Frenchy with his pet punisher entitled tne "small pacK age," In which the victim is bent Into a pretael, seemingly. Kiser and Yaqui Kid teamed up against Falletti, alternately ram ming him with drop kicks. After the Itallano was sufficiently soft ened, the pair piled on him and referee Elton Owen waived him out of the ring. Kiser and Kid drew the main event, being the last two to go In the battle royal. LaBelle and Falletti received the nod for the semi-windup brawl, a one-fall af fair that went to LaBelle when he successfully brought a series of drop kicks into play, followed by a body press. Falletti, the meany, tried to render his opponent sightless by continually poking his fingers in to LaBelle's eyes. This dirty tac tic onlv served to anger LaBelle. Piqued, Pierre pinned his op ponent and won the $iuo prize monev. The main-event, although not nearly as colorful as the semi final, offered fine wrestling to that portion of the audience ap preciating the same. Kiser didn't appear to know enough to avoid Yaqui Kid's legs, which the Indian used repeatedly with good success. Head scissors applied by Kid made Kiser ap pear to be less than an expert wrestler, but in the final analy sis, it was Kiser and not the Kid that proved to be the more capa- Wm - tff jeill IT tel. -.
