YMCA Organizes
Tennis Activity
Anyone interested in Dlavinz in
the YMCA conducted tennis tour
naments this summer are urged
by Ccce Sherwood, "Y" activity
committee member, to sign up at
the high school courts.
Sherwood said the summer ten
nis program would be slightly dif
ferent from the program conduct
ed last year by the YMCA. The
youth tournament will be for boys
in tne ninth grade or under. The
high school boys will play in the
men s tournament. Sherwood said
anyone who has already signed up
should check the lists to see that
they are entered correctly.
Any girls or women interested in
playing in a tournament are en
couraged to sign up. There will be
a women's tournament if eight or
more sign up for it.
Sherwood said anyone interested
in learning the game will have a
chance to do so this summer. Mar
len Yoder, local "y" secretary, has
consented to teach tennis two eve
nings each week during the sum
mer. The plan is to use the high
school courts one evening and the
Commercial street court the other
evening.
However, in order to get the
courts for these two evenings,
enough interest has to be shown
to justify their exclusive use by
the tennis students. Any person in
terested in learning to play or de
velop their game is asked to call
1654-1 and leave his or her name.
The lessons will he held only if
enough applicants sign up for the
program.

Yankees Keep
Up Amazing
Victory Pace
American League Lead
Now 3'2 Games; Phillies,
Cleveland Blank Foes
By
(By The Awoclated Pren)
Any day now you'll hear the
wail: "break up the Yankees."
Thundering through the west
with eight straight victories, the
world champs head east with a
Vi game lead in the American
league.
Casey Stengel's surprising New
Yorkers are doing better than the
1949 "Miracle team." A year ago
today they had a 22-10 record. Now
it's 22-8.
And they're doing it without "old
reliable" Tommy Henrick side
lined by a knee injury. Henrich
played only six innings during the
all-winning tour.
High spots of the trip were the
three-game sweep in Cleveland and
yesterday's 6-4 triumph over De
troit. Oddly enough, it was just a
year ago that Tommy Byrne sil
enced the Tigers for decision No.
22. He went it alone that after
noon. Yesterday he needed help
from Joe Page in the late inn
ings. Yogi Berra the other half of
the winning battery was the big
wheel at Detroit. A much improved
catcher and .314 slugger, Berra
delivered a bases-loaded homer
for the winning margin.
Berra's belt came off Art Houtte
man in the fifth inning. It gave
Bryne a 6-0 edge that melted under
homers by George Kell and Hoot
Evers in the eighth. Then Page
came in to stop the Tigers.
Nobody has stopped the Yanks
since their 9-8 loss to Philadel
phia May 14. They've swept 13
of 14 and rolled up an amazing
road record of 12 vict6ries and only
two defeats.
Red Sox' Pact Slows
On the contrary, the Boston Red
Sox, fence - busters at Fenway
park, barely hobbled out of the
west with a 5-5 mark. They al
most didn't make it.
It took a grand slam homer by
Walt Dropo, topping a six-run rally
in the eighth inning for the Red
Sox to subdue St. fcouis, 15-12.
.Johnny Pesky helped the cause
with five of the 19 hits.
Bob Lemon of Cleveland caught
the Washington senators by the
shirt tails and hauled them back
into a fourth-place tie with the
tribe. Lemon shut out the Sena
tors with three hits, 3-0. The box
score tells the story of Dick Weik's
failure. He walked 10 Indians in
seven innings.
Shutouts Posted
Homers by Paul Lchner, Sam
Chapman and Pete Suder jerked
the Philadelphia A's out of their
losing ways with a 6-1 victory over
Chicago.
Eddie Sawyer's Phillies conti
nued to get fine rookie pitching as
Bob Miller, blanked Pittsburgh, 3
0, with eight hits. It was the third
start and third victory for the 23-year-old
righthander.
Preacher Roe wobbled through
the early innings before settling
down to make Chicago his fourth
victim, 5-4. Gil Hodges drove home
the tie-breaking run in the fifth
with a single scoring Duke Snider
from second base, -
Manager Leo Durocher and his
second baseman, Eddie Stanky,
were chased long before Leo's New
York Giants dropped a 13-inning
game to the St. Louis Cards, 7-5.
Leo and Eddie got the thumb for
arguing with Umpire Lou Jorda
over a called strike in the fifth.
A walk to Red Schoendienst, Stan
Musial's single, Johnny Lindell's
double and a single by Enos
Slaughter broke up the game in
the 13th.
Boston and Cincinnati were not
scheduled.

Roseburg Golf
Tournament Set
This Weekend
Norm Tauscher, director of the
fourth annual Roseburg invitational
golf tournament, said today entries
for the big tourney to be held here
this weekend are slowly arriving
at tne ciuo.
Lou Stafford, a former runnerup
in national public links competition,
has signified that he will enter
the Roseburg tournament. Stafford
is well known in state golf circles
and lauscner expects he will at
tract other lop-drawer competi
tors to the tourney.
Harvey Hixon, an ace golfer at
the Eugene country club, has signi
fied that he will be in Roseburg
this weekend for the golf tourney.
Tauscher reported that he does
not expect too many entries to be
received before the actual competi
tion starts. He said most of the
golfers that the club has sent in
vitations to are in private business
and cannot tell when business
plans will conflict with golf dates.
So, the entrants for the tourney will
not be known until the qualifying
rounds start Saturday. Entries will
be received up to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Tauscher believes that the Rose
burg country club's veteran div
otee, Ward Cummings Sr., will
have the best chance at the cham
pionship trophy from the local en
trants. Cummings, 1949 club cham
pion, has beaten just about all com
petition on the course this year and
hopes to maintain his record in the
invitational tourney.
The tournament trophies have
been put on display at the Rose
burg Jewelry store. A special pro
gram will climax the tournament
