Sutherlin Junior Legion Club Edges
Roseburg Outfit In Final Inning, 2-1
By CHUCK PLUMMKR
Brick Avery's Sutherlin Junior
Legion baseball team squeezed two
runs across the plate in the final
inning Sunday to edge Norm West's
Roseburg Legion team, 2-1.
The game was definitely a pitch
er's duel, with Sutherlin's Wally
Beamer striking out 12 Roseburg
batters and Mickey Coen, the Rose
burg chucker, striking out 8.
Roseburg gained a one-run ad
vantage in the second inning when
left fielder Vic Sanders reached
first on an error, stole second, and
scored on Louie Ripperger's hit to
the second baseman, who fumbled
the ball and allowed Rippberger to
Teach first. Beamer then struck
ma Coen to retire the side.
Held Until 7th.
Coen then held Sutherlin score
less until the last of the seventh.
Bob Wahl, Sutherlin third baseman
and first man up, hit a single. Fen
nell scored him with a double that
went into center field, hit a tele
phone wire, and landed 20 yards
away from Roseburg center fielder
Gene Henry. Coen then walked
Wallick Defeats
Dusette On Mat
By CHUCK PLUMMER
Villainous Leo Wallick defeated
Georges Dusette. popular French-
Canadian, in a thrilling battle Sat
urday night at the Roseburg arm
ory. The bout was filled with Wallick's
dirty tactics and much slugging
between opponents.
Wallick took the first fall with
a scries of falling hangman's holds,
and a body press. Dusette took a
terrific beating in the second but.
with Wallick again applying Ws
hangman's holds, Dusette whirled
him around and put on his fam
ous full-nelson to take the fall.
In the final canto, Dusette sur
prised everyone by rushing out of
his corner, and proceeded to beat
the devil out of Wallick. Wallick
finally made his way out of the
ropes, and then, rested, he beat
the devil out of Dusette, applied
his devastating piledriver, and won
the fall.
The opener, which featured Karl
Gray and Johnny Paavich, was
almost as exciting as the final.
In the first fall, Paavich tied
Gray up in the corner ropes, and
shoulder butted him in the stom
ach. As Paavich ran back to get
a run at it, Gray moved and Paa
vich hit his head in the corner.
Gray immediately picked him up,
threw him to the mat on his back
a few times and won the fall with
a body press.
The -second fall was just the op
posite of the first. This time Gray
had Paavich pinned in a corner and
was shoulder butting him in the
stomach. On about the third butt,
Paavich jumped up in the air,
onto Gray's back, and pinned him
with a reverse leg nelson.
In the final fall, Paavich and
Gray staged a furious battle, with
very few holds being used. Finally,
Paavich shoved Gray into the ropes
and on the rebound, smacked him
on the chin with a thwack that
could be heard all over the audi
torium, and pinned him for the
three-count.

The pennant battle has assumed
the proportions of a rout as the
clubs hit the road for Tuesday's
series openers. How long it will
remain thus is a matter of conjec
ture, but right now Hollywood
leads San Diego by five full games.
The Padres, once the scourge
of the league, booted a pair to
Hollywood Sunday, even as they
booted six previous games during
the week. Both contests ended at
6 to 4.
What had happened to San
Diego's prodigious batting power,
its effective pitching and its in
field nobody seemed to know, least
of all the Padres. They were
slumping and badly.
Surkont Wins 12th
Big Surkont, meanwhile, chalked
up his 12th victory of the cam
paign and his 99th strikeout as the
lowly Sacs trimmed third place
Oakland, 10 to 2 and 3 to 0. The
shutout belonged to Frankie Dasso.
Surkont, the PCL's winningest
flinger, scattered seven hits in
posting his third triumph in four
cracks at the' Oaks. Dasso was
steady all the way in the finale,
yielding only four blows. The
double loss put Oakland six games
off the pace.
The other participants split yes
terday's twin bills. A walk by re
liefer Dewey Adkins gave Port
land a 5 to 4 victory over I,os

four hitter as San Francisco won
the nightcap, 11 to 0, in a 16-hit

Attendance figures were up

"The Red Sox won't win the pen

"They fold up against the strong
clubs."
The man was a Boston baseball
writer. The remark was made right
after Boston had buried the poor
St. Louis Browns under a record
shattering 29-4 count last Thurs
day. Fold probably is the wrong word
but there is no denying the Red
Sox have had miserably luck
against the first division clubs this
season. In 23 games against the
Yankeei, Tigers and Cleveland
Indians, the Sox have won nine
and lost 14. That's a cellarlike
.394 percentage.

the Preakness so easily, most every-
one thought he d be a shoo-in for
the Belmont, bo the crowd made
the Virginia-bred colt a 17-20 favor
ite then watched in amazemant
as Middleground romped to the
wire for a one length vicotry over
George Widcner's Lights Up.

ter mile to go. Hit? clocking for the
