6 The Nawi-Review, Roieburg, PADRE FARM CLUB? Local Peewees Thank San Diego For Baseballs To Help Program About two months ago, Herman Jacobson of San Diego, who cleans the uniforms for the coast league Padres and is the brother of Youngs Boy Lumber Co.'s Henry Jacobson, sent a dozen of the Fad res used baseballs for the forth coming summer peewee baseball program. The gift was a result of a visit of the Roseburg Jacobsons to the San Diego Jacobsons. Acknowledgement of the gift was made through the columns of the News-Review. This acknowledge ment reached the eyes of Brother Herman down south. As a result Chiefs Slate Grants Pass Game Friday Earl Sargent,, manager of the TJmpqua Chiefs, announced today that the Chiefs will play a non league exhibition game with Grants Pass Friday night on Finlay field at 8:15. Both teams are members of the, Southern Oregon league but have not faced each other this season. A practice game between Grants Pass and the Chiefs was rained out earlier this season. Grants Pass has had a difficult time winning games in the league this season, but has shown definite improvement with each game play ed. The club opened the season against the powerful Ashland team and was defeated 15-2. The follow ing week Grants Pass met Central Point, a team that is rated stronger than Ashland, and was defeated 7-2. Grants Pass won its first league game Sunday by defeating Crescent City 9-5. From all appearances, the Merchants should put on an enter taining performance for the local baseball fans and may be the team to upset Roseburg, Sargent pointed out that the 8:15 p.m. game time was necessary to give the Grants Pass players enough time to quit work and drive to Roseburg for the game. The regular game time for evening tills has been 8 p.m., but the Chiefs altered this general policy to ac commodate the Merchants. Distributed in Roieburg ' by Bates Candy Co.

Rumors have started floating around and Norm West, Peewee and junior Legion coach for this year, has been approached by some of the stars of last summer re garding the possibility and advisa bility of a definite tie with the Padres for future talent. This farm club possibility results from the efforts of the Padres unofficial good will agent, brother Herman Jacob son. West quotes one of the 12 year old future big leaguers as saying, "The least we can do to show our appreciation to the Padres and Mr. Jacobson is to root for them in the coast league. We might even help them out in a pinch if they run short of players this summer." Proclaimation Qua? Al Flegcl, Roseburg's mayor, has been asked to proclaim an official "San Diego Appreciation Day". Though he has not yet agreed to do so, he was quoted as follows: "I feel I must urge the whole hearted support of the Portland en try in the coast league. However, should the Padres from California continue to come through with as sistance, it would be very difficult to avoid issuing such an edict". Roseburg sport fans, informed of the trend of events in regard to this San Diego maneuver, are awaiting devclopents. It is expected that the Portland Beavers, jealous of this invasion of the Padres into their rightful territory, will have a scout in the area keeping a close watch on the situation and ad vising General Manager Bill Mul ligan of the activities of their rival California club. 'Names' To Vie In Golf Tourney WASHINGTON, June 1 WP) You don't have to be a golfer to get one of those exclusive invita tions to play in the fourth annual national celebrities golf tourna ment this week. Of course it helps to be able to hit that ball like Ben Hogan, Sammy Snead, Babe Didrikson Za- harias, Patty Berg or the Bauer sisters. But there are other ways to get into the tourney held every year by the Washington Post to get money to combat juvenile delin quency. A glib tongue and ranking as a wit will get you into Army-Navy Country club for the tournament. That's how guys like Bob Hope. Milton Berlc, Arthur Godfrey and Danny Kaye picked up invitations. Just become a nationally-known columinst or sports announcer like Walter Winchcll, Drew Pearson, Leonard Lyons, Harry Wismer, Bob Considine or Whitney Martin. Or you might do something really tough, such as winning the Asso ciated Press' mid-century sports poll. Babe Zaharias did that and so did all-around star Jim Thorpe. Win the Preakness with a horse like the pride of Virginia, Hill Prince, and you'd get one of those ducats. Owner Chris Chcnery did. There are other ways, for in stance Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, owners Dan Top ping and Del Webb of the New York Yankees, Spike Briggs of the Detroit Tigers, Clark Griffith of the Washington Nats, Lefty Grove and Carl ilubbcll will be here. Tournament director Bus Ham, who is sports editor of the spon soring Washington Post, sums it up like this: "Just become famous and you're in." leek ll over. ?"" - v- -.. i mmmtitmi imwiwi ii mm hi PRETTY FAST Delores Dwyer 17, five foot three, 107 pounds is an early favorite for the 1952 U.

The six sports for which awards were presented were basketball, wrestling, boxing, baseball, track and tennis. Ten players from the Roseburg high school's undefeated tennis team were awarded letters. Six teen players from the school's dis trict two championship baseball club received letters.- The sport and award winners are as. follows: Basketball Dexter Garcy, Bud dy Mathews, Ron Strickling, Bill Van Horn, Dale Blanck, Kee Briggs, Mickey Coen, Larry Free man, Frank Olson, Roy Van Horn, Stojack, Wallick To Wrestle Here Frankie Stojack, former Wash ington State college athlete, and Leo Wallick, a grappling villain from Detroit, will headline next Saturday's weekly wrestling show at the Roseburg armory. The two long-time mat rivals will be gun ning for the right to a -match against Bob Cummings, Pacific coast junior heavyweight cham pion. Matchmaker Elton Owen has signed two outstanding principals to the one-hour, three-fall opener- Jack Kiser of Portland and Carley Carr of Shreveport, La. ' Owen hoped to sign Jack O'Reil ly, const light-heavyweight champ, to a third championship engage ment against Eddie Williams, the Scolsman who has twice lost to O'Reilly by a "whisker." The sign ing looked likely until the champ from Australia demanded a $500 guarantee, which Owen said was prohibitive. - Stojack, the Tacoma cabinet maker who once played in the Cast-West football classic and later starred in pro football, is anxious to have a return meeting against Wallick, who several months ago sent Stojack to an Albany hospital following one of his smashing pile drivers. So, it will be a grudge affair in which most anything can happen and probably will. Reserved seat tickets are now available at Powell's.

RUTH AND RUSS TURNER WINSTON ELECTRIC Contract Wiring "Located In Winston's only skyscraper" Hollywood On Beavers Defeat Seals, 1-0 (By the Associated Press) Hollywood roosts atop the Pacific Coast league heap today by a pre carious percentage margin of .003. As third-place Oakland slugged front-running San Diego, 20-8, the movieland lads slipped into the lead with a 3-1 victory over Sacra mento. The results left Hollywood will; a 3T25 .603 mark to San Diego's 39-26 .600. Oakland fell behind San Diego 6-3 but countered with nine runs off Al Olsen and Jack Saltzman in the third and kept right on going. Billy Herman bit a homer with bases loaded in the big frame. The Oaks bagged five circuit dolts including two by Loyd Christopher and one each by Roy Zimmerman and Ray Noble and the Padres four (Simpson 2, Max West and Tresh) to come within two of equaling the PCL record of 11 swatted by Salt Lake and Ver non in 1923 and 1924. Gettel Winning Pitcher Al Gettel stopped the Padres over the final eight innings to get the win. The loss went to Saltzman, who took a fearful pasting 11 earned runs in less than five Stanzas. Hollywood and Sacramento play ed the fastest game of the year one hour and 35 minutes with Jack Salveson stifling the Solons on a seven-hit allotment. Hard luck Red Evans pitched a four hitter but the Stars bunched them just right and handed bim his ninth defeat. The 1950 medal for quick-thinking on a PCL diamond should go to Portland's Steve Mesner for the unusual play which brought the Beavers a 1-0 victory over San Francisco in 10 innings. and Louie Hurd and Vic Sanders, managers.

Drivers Pocket Cash INDIANAPOLIS, June 1 P Race car owners and drivers di vided a record $201,035 in prizes today from the fastest and the shortest race at the Indianapolis motor speedway. "Boy, I never had it so good," crowed Johnny Parsons, pocketing the $57,458.63 top prize at the 500 mile victory dinner last night. The handsome Van Nuys, Calif., racer won't keep it all, but driv ers of his kind usually get around 35 percent. Every driver's take is a private deal between him and his car owner.

Mesner was 100 percent right. The ball rolled back to the screen, Mesner made first and Beaver Pitcher Vince DiBiasi came home with the lone tally. Johnson, incidentally, drew the error on the freak play, while being credited with a strikeout. Moreover, the run was counted as earned because it was directly traceable to the pitcher. It's the only play in baseball where a run is scored as earned on an error. DiBiasi Allows Five . DiBiasi gave up five hits, John son six in the close battle. Seattle edged Los Angeles, 2-1, in another duel that went sour in the last minute. Angel third sacker Albie Glossop threw the ball away after fielding a bunt and Al Lyons raced home from second with the winning run in the ninth. Hector Brown thus edged Pete Mallory.

YMCA May Schedule Tennis Instruction The Roseburg YMCA will make an effort to have tennis instruction this summer, if there is enough interest, according to Marlen Yo der, "Y" general secretary. Yoder said if there were enough people who. wanted instruction an effort would be made to obtain the use of the high school courts one evening a week and the court on Commercial street one evening a week. The instruction would be for adults, as well as youngsters. How ever, to obtain the courts there must be a large enough number to make it worthwhile. All those interested are urged to contact the "Y" by calling 1654-J-l and leave their names.

Louis Cards Currently Hottest In National League By JACK HAD Associated Press Sports Writer Memo to Brooklyn beware the St. Louis Cards. Cbeeks still burn on the Card inal bench at the memory of the May 18 horrors of Ebbets field. That was the day St. Louis blew an 8-0 lead and lost to the Dod gers, 9-8. , Strong men still blanch at the thought of TommyGlaviano's three successive errors in the ninth inn ing. Glaviano and Manager Eddie Dyer never will forget it. The experts wrote the Cards' obit the next day. They said it was the end of St. Louis as a pennant threat in 1950. Brooklyn had landed a knockout blow at St. Louis morale They never would bounce back. Not Finished ' " ' Next time the Cards played a game they rallied with six in the eighth inning to knock out Warren Spahn and whip Boston. The next victim was the Phillies' Robin Ro berts. And so oh, down the line. Since the black day in Flatbush they have won nine of 11, hotter than any club in the league. They left Brooklyn tied for third, three games out of first. Now they're second, one game behind Brook lyn. Tonight is the night. The chance to get even. They open a three game series with the Dodgers at Sportsman's park. Don't say the Dodgers weren't warned. Old Card inals don't forget. This scond western swing of the Brooks can be most important. By whipping St. Louis three straight at Brooklyn they turned back the Card threat for the mo ment. By sweeping the holiday doubleheader from the Phillies, they repelled another threat. If they can get out of St. Louis with their lead intact, they may be able to pull away and take command. The trip is important for Leo Durocher's New York Giants, too, in a different sort of way. The Polo Grounds Wolves are howling for Leo's scalp although his con tract runs through 1951. Going into tonight's two-night doubleheader at Cincinnati, the Giants are running a dreary seventh,, nine games off the pace.

After Chicago, the Phils bump smack into St. Louis for three very important games. Boston finds Pittsburgh, reeling under an eight-game losing streak. Ralph Kiner's home run produc tion slowed down to a walk with only one in the last 10 days. If the Braves are to move in the race, now is their time with aid Gordon back in the lineup. . American League box scores will be studied for the next few days to find the effects of the big Chicago-Washington deal. The White Sox move into the white glare of the Yankee stad ium spotlights for a night game with New York which has won 17 of its last 20. After cooling off Bos ton with a Decoration day sweep, Casey Stengel is in fine shape to open a long stand against the west. Eddie Robinson, coveted by the Yanks during the winter, is to play first for Chicago. Ray Scar borough and Al Kozar also are to be with the club. Washington will parade its new stock second baseman CaJs Mi chaels, outfielder Johnny Ostrow ski and pitcher Bob Kuzava be fore the home folks. Kuzava isn't supposed to start against st. Louis tonight but the others may see ac tion. Both leagues had an open date yesterday.
