Chiefs Edge North
Eugene Legion
Gains Victory
Over Locals
The Eugene Junior American
Ifgion team defeated the Rose
burg Junior Legion cluh 5 1, in a
non-league contest on Finlay field
Tuesday evening.
The contest between the two
junior legion teams preceded the
semi-pro Roscburg, North Bend
clash.
Eugene opened the scoring in
the top of the second inning, scor
ing two runs on two hits, two
walks, a passed ball and one er
ror. After the second inning, two
Roscburg pitchers, Wayne Witchcr
and Rob Sullivan, held Eugene
scoreless until the sixth when
Dick Collins scored on a fielder's
choice.
Add Two In 7th
In the seventh, the Eugene team
aded two "insurance" runs with
Roseburg's Mickey Coen on the
mound. The Eugene Junior Le
gion scored the two runs on two
hits, two errors, a walk and a
wild pitch.
Roscburg prevented a Eugene
shutout by scoring its Inne tally
in the last of the seventh. Don
Stone singled at the start of the
inning and reached third after a
walk and a hit. He scored on a
passed ball by Eugene's catcher.
Only 6 Hits Allowed
Three Roscburg pitchers, Witch
er, Sullivan and Coen, gave up a
total of six hits, struck nut seven
and walked seven. Coen was
charged with one wild pitch. Stone
led the Roscburg batters with one
for one.
Eugcne'i winning pitcher, Art
Hoffman, went the distance. He
allowed Roseburg three hits and
received excellent support as he
struck out six and walked five.
Roscburg was held hitlcss until
the fifth. What Hoffman had on
the ball was a mystery. His success
probably was due to the fact that
Roscburg has not been hitting
good.
Roscburg committed three costly
errors as Eugene played errorless
ball.

Vies In Tight
Pitching Duel
By CHUCK McDONALD
N.wa-Rrview Sport! Wm
In one of the best played games
seen on Finlay field this season,
the undefeated Umpqua Chiefs
edged a talented North Bend club.
- 0, Tuesday evening
It was unfortunate the weather
for the game was not all that it
should have been. Many of the
local fans apparently preferred to
stay at home rather than shiver
in the bleachers at Finlay field.
Only about 200 spectators braved
the cold and threatening weather
to see the best game the Chiefs
have played thjs year.
Pitchers' Duel
The pitchers dominated the play
on both teams. Bus Sporer, the
talented hurler for the Chiefs,
tossed his third shutout victory of
the season. Sporer's success in the
1950 season appears to be his abil
ity to constantly nick the corner
of the plate, making it difficult for
batters to judge the good balls. No
matter what kind of pitch Sporer
throws, he never puts one squarely
over the center of the plate.
Sporer struck out 17 North Bend
batters and gave up but one walk.
He allowed the bay city team four
hits, one in the second, two in the
seventh and one in the eighth. In
the second and third innings, he
struck out six batters in a row.
However, Sporer's best pitching
performance remains the Grants
Pass game in which he struck out
20 and allowed three hits.
Aune Impressive
Stan Aune. charged with the
North Bend loss, was one of the
finest hurlers the Chiefs have
faced this season. Against any
other rluh, Aune would probably
have been assured a win.
The youthful North Bend hurler
struck out 10 Chiefs, walked three
and limited Roseburg to three hits.
Aune not only had a fine strikeout
record, but he forced Roseburg's
leading hitler, Tex Chandler, to go
hitlcss in three official trips to the
plate.
Aune got into serious trouble in
the eighth when he gave Chandler
an intentional walk to load the
hade with Qnnrsr nn tl,,i-rl an1
tw0 away. He quick,y fann(!d Slan
Nrhv. however, in relit-, the
Chiefs Score In 5th
Roseburg scored the winning run
in the fifth inning. Phil Smith, a
youngster playing his second game
tor tne Chiefs, singled to right
field. John Herman, making his
initial appearance for the Chiefs,
reached first on an erro- as Smith
advanced to second. Smith reached
third on a fielder's choice after
Dick DeBcrnardi was thrown out
at first. Smith scored the only
run in the game on a fielder's
choice after Sporer popped out to
the infield.
Herman was in scoring position
on third with two away as Lovell
Baker, a consistent threat at the
plate, stepped up to take his turn
at bat. Baker, who has a miserable
evening at bat, fanned to retire
the side.
Sanders, Sporer Hit
The Chiefs olher two hits came
in the fourth and eighth frames.
Virg Sanders knocked out a clean
single into center field in the
fourth. Sanders stole two bases
but was left on third at the end
of t he fourth. Bus Sporer, whose
hitting has improved considerably
as the season has progressed, hit
Iho only exlra base hit of the hall
game in the eighth with a double.
Both teams played good ball in
the field, marred by two errors
charged lo each side.
The Chiefs will play their next
home game this Friday, June 2.1.
when they meet the Myrtle Creek
club in the second of a three
game non-league series.

Yankees Gain
On Tiger Club
In 8-2 Victory
By JOE REICHLER
AsM-tatcd PreM Sportiwrlter
Joe DiMaggio owns 2.000 big lea
gue hits today and Stan Musial
has 1.500.
Each slugger attained his im
mediate goal last night but Di
Mag's was by far the more satisfy
ing.
Joe collected two hits to drive
in three runs and lead the New
York Yankees to an important 8-2
triumph over the Cleveland In
dians. The victory, coupled with
Washington's 4-2 victory over De
troit boosted the runnerup Yan
kees to within one game of the
American league leading Tigers.
Stan slammed one hit a home
run but it didn't prevent the
New York Giants from gaining
their first victory of the season
over his St. Louis Cardinals 3-2.
The defeat knocked the Cards out
of a first place tie with Brooklyn.
The Dodgers thrashed the Cincin
nati Reds, 8-2, to take a game
lead over the Redbirds.
Red Sox Gain
Boston's Red Sox and Philadel
phia's Phillies, third in their re
spective leagues, gained some
ground. The Red Sox triumphed
over the Chicago White Sox, 5-3,
while Ihe Phils toppled the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 7-3.
The St. Louis Browns, behind
Ned Garver, shut out Lou Brissie
and the Philadelphia Athletics, 1-0.
The Chicago Cubs won a 10-in-ning
struggle from Boston's
Braves, 4-3.
DiMaggio now joins 41-year-old
Luke Appling of the White Sox
and 40-year-old Wally Moses of the
Athletics as the only active per
formers with 2,000 or more hits.
Appling, now in his 20th season in
the majors, owns 2,733 hits. Moses,
in the 16th year, has 2,064 hits.
DiMaggio, 35, is in the midst of
his 12th active year.
Ty Cobb Holds Record
Ty Cobb, one of baseball's im
mortals, holds the record for base
hits with an amazing total of 4,191
in 24 years.
While the Yankees were rapping
four Cleveland flingcrs for 12 hits,
Lefty Ed Lopat was limiting his
"cousins" to seven. It was Lopat's
eighth triumph of the campaign,
his third without a loss to Cleve
land. Little Chico Marrero stopped the
ligers with four hits in register
ing his second triumph over them.
The 5-8 rookie righthander from
Cuba highlighted Washington's win
ning three-run rally in the seventh
against Fred Hutchinson. He sin
gled in Al Evans from second and
crossed the plate on Eddie Yost's
eighth home run.
Westrum Homers
The giants beat Ihe Cards on
Wes Westrum's four-bagcer in the
eighth. Righthander Sheldon Jones
gained credit for ending the Cards
10-game winning streak over the
Giants, six of them this year.
Brooklyn collected only six hits
against three Cincinnati hurlers but
half of them were home runs. Gil
Hodges' was the most productive,
coming with the bases . loaded to
highlight a six-run third inning.
Righthander Ellis Kinder and
first baseman Walt Dropo com
bined their talents to lead the Red
Sox to their first triumph in six
games. Kinder allowed seven hits
for his fourlh triumph although
he needed help from Mel Parnelt
in the ninth. Dropo slammed his
15(h homer in the fourth with Ted
Williams on base.
McCarthy III
Boston played under the direc
tion of Coach Earl Combs because
Manager Joe McCarthy was down
with influenza.
Roy Sievers" single in the first
inning scored Dick Kokos from sec
ond wilh the only run of the
Browns-Alhletics game. A single
by Hank Saucr, his fourth hit, scor
ed Bob Ramazzotti in the tenth to
give the Cubs a victory over the
Braves.
Russ Meyer of the Phils chalked
up his first victory of the season
after six setbacks. He limited the
Pirates to six hits and struck out
five.

Beavers Lose
To Rainiers;
Stars Climb
By The Associated Press
Seattle made the Pacific Coast
league season'i first stop at Port
land yesterday and emerged with
a 4-2 victory that left them only
a dare percentage point out ot
sixth place.
Frank Colman first inning
three-run homer was all the Rai
niers needed.
Hector Brown. Seattle's starting
hurler, got credit for the win al
though be gave way to southpaw
Al Gerheauser in the eighth when
the Beavers threatened to knot the
count.
Hollywood'! Art Schallock tossed
a five-hitter at the Seals, beating
them 2-1 for his first victory this
season in the first meeting of the
clubs this year. The Seals' Chct
Johnson was sailing along exuber
antly through four innings, having
given Hollywood only four hits
thus far and enjoying a one run
lead when the Stars quit being
palsy-walsy.
Bax.s Gets Homer
Jim Baxes smacked a homer in
the fifth to tie it and Frank Kelle
her scorched a single in the sixth
to- bring in Gene Handlcy from
second with the winning run and
the ball game.
Oakland's treatment of Los An
geles was not only worse, it lacked
any semblance of cordiality; name
ly, 18-2. The Oaks batted around
in the first inning for three runs
but that was just a warmup. In
the eighth they really poured it
on, 15 men going to bat and produc
ing 10 runs.
Oakland's third baseman, Billy
Herman, had two homers, two sin
gles, and two walks for a perfect
night at bat.
Padres Win
Meantime, Sacramento journeyed
to San Diego and lost, 6-5. It was
a see-saw struggle in which Max
West scored the eventual winning
run in the sixth on his walk, a sin
gle and an infield out. Sacramen
to's Len Ratto kept thfngs exciting
with a ninth Inning msiae-tne-

Gardella Dropped
By St. Louis Club
NEW YORK. June 21.-W) The
honeymoon is over tor little Dan
ny Gardella and organized nase
ball. Now it's probably back to
the courts.
The Din-sized outfielder was re
ported today girding to battle for
his full $5,000 year's salary from
the St. Louis Cardinals, who cul
him adrift yesterday.
"Danny feels he is entitled to
a full season's pay or the chance
lo work for it," said a confidant
of Gardella, who asked not to
be identified. "It was all part of
the settlement of his $300,000 suit
against baseball last fall."
The Cardinals announced Gar
della's pay would end 30 days
afler his outright release, as pro
vided in the standard contract.
Gardella, back at his Bronx,
N. Y., home, said tersely, "the
matter is being handled by my
attorneys."
When the suit was settled out of
court last Oct. 7, Gardella, who
chased flics for the New York
Giants during the war, became the
property of the Cardinals.
He was optioned to the Houston

Tackling Notre Dame's Johnny
Lujack on the first play of the

Texas Defeats
WSC Club, 12-1
OMAHA, June 21. -4JP Texas
had that title-bound look again
todap as the NCAA baseball tourna
ment moved into semi-final rounds.
The Longhorns are the defend
ing champions and were a pre
tourney favorite to keep the title.
At the beginning, Rutgers jarred
the texans with a -i-2 defea . Since
then the westerners have begun
to look like champions again.
Last night, the sparkling 5-hit
pitching of Murray Wail and some
powerful slugging brought them a
12-1 victory over Washington
State.
Washington Stale, before lasj.
night, had been the only unbeaten
team in the tourney and the
strongest bidder for the title Texas
won last year.
The west coast boys still have a
major advantage: They have only
one game left to play and that will
be in the finals Friday night.
Tonight, Wisconsin plays Rutgers.
The winner will play Texas tomor
row night.
The winner of that one goes into
Friday night's finals.
