Pee Wee Jamboree Offers Crowd Plenty Of Activity The Pee Wer-J played their hearts out before a crowd ol about 400 in a junior jamboree I a 1 1 night that had more vim than a world series game. There were five games played and every one of them were fillde with fire and chatter seldom seen on a baseball diamond. The jam boree began with the 6- year-old group, which played two games. The first game between the Dyna miters and the Riverdale Rats. The Riverdale Rats coached b y lren and LeRoy Sargent finally took the game, 6-2, in a little over one inning, since the game was plaved under a time limit of 45 minutes. The second game went almost three Innings as the league winning Umpqua Bears scored eight runs to walk away from the Bombers, 8-3. Both these games consisted of a specially constructed diamonds with the bases set at 60 feet and the pilchcr's mound at 40 feet. The third and fourth games in the 10-12 age group had the bases set at 75 feet and the pitchers mound at 50. In the first game the Knuckleheads whitewashed the Hargis Hardheads, 120. The Knuckleheads batted in two in the first, second and fourth and six in the third. This game lasted three and a half innings. The show stealer in the fourth game was Mike Brundage, six years old, moved into the 10-12 age group to play this game. He was actually so small the pitcher could not pitch to him. He walked both times at the plate. His team, the Leftovers, won the game, 5-1, after Pat Bcane and I,c Burg hardt smashed out triples and nitrher (!arv Crenshaw fanned eight in the threo and a half In nings. Iiittlc Hobby Gray ma some amazing good shortstopping for the losers. For baseball lovers the last oame. the little World series, was the piece do resistance. It was the single game in the 13-14 year cm group. It evened the series three all ai the Phillies took it 3-1. The deciding game will be played to night. Allan Talbot ol tne Tigers struck out eight in the four in nings of the game, but it didn't stop the Phillies from scoring the three runs one in the second and two in the fourth. Umpires for the games wera Al Flegcl and George Sanders. Portland Club Wins Oregon 'Semi' Title SILVERTON W Archer Blower of Portland is the Oregon semi-pro baseball champion today.

Channon Rd. West of Landis Iron Works Portland Tops Acorn Club, 1-0 IBy tht Associated Pruil Bill Sweeney's Portland Beavers are in second division but on the basis of the veteran Roy Helser's pitching last night they were the best team in the Pacific Coast league. Helser twirled Portland to a 1 to 0 victory over the league leading Oakland Acorns, scattered the seven hits he allowed and was so effective in the pinches that the Oaks had ten men left on base. Luis Marqucz singled home the lone run off Charley Gassaway in the third. Gassaway and Hank Bchrman gave up but five hits. Sacramento's Orval Grove turned in a six-hit pitching job against Los Angeles and the lea gue tailenders took a 4 to 2 de cision. Sac outfielder Ralph Hod- gin got his fifth homer of the sea son in the first with Al White on base. Grove, after b e i n (combed for a triple by Frank Baumhoiti m the third, retired 17 angel batters, in a row through the eighth.

Hollywood is now only a game and a half ahead of third-place San Diego, which downed the Seals 7 to 1. George Zuverink came up with a three hitter against Lefty O' Doul's Seals and the only run scored against him was unearned. San Diego won the game in the first inning with a three-r u n blast against Harry Eldman. It was the second straight win for the Padres. In the Dhole tournament Mrs. Chester Binns of Corvallis took the first low net with a 35 but was followed closely by Mrs. Ray Puckett of Rosburg who was one stroke off the pace with a 36.

(See picture page 2, section 2) Freighters Lose To Vets Team, 6-3 Pitcher Bade of Pierce Freight held the Veterans employes to four hits in a twilight league soft hall game last night, but the four hits were enough to beat the Freightrs, 6-3. Glover homered in the first for Pierce Freight, but Cairns came in in the second when he hit a triple and was followed by Tollef son's error. From then on it was the Veterans game. They scored three more in the fourth when Hard reached first on an error, Ulrich sacrificed and Bissonette cleared the bases with a homer. They scored their last two runs in the sixth on a single by Toman and two errors by the Freighters. Pierce Freight scored alone run in the sixth on a single by Sellar and a sacrifice by Tollef son. The team got its last run on District Junior Legion Tourney Friday The southern Oregon district I will be played off at 8 p.m. baseball playoff tournament of the day. Mon- Junior Legion league will begin Friday night in Drain. District Chairman Clair Li Grander has announced that the first games will pit Albany against Sutherlin in the 6:30 game and Medford against Bandon in the nightcap, two games will be played Saturday and another two Sunday. The Friday night losers will play each other in the early game Saturday night, and the winners will play the last game. On Sunday afternoon the winners of Saturday will play at 2:30 and the losers will play Sunday night. In case of a tie in the finals, it two errors and a single. There were only 10 hits made in the game, six off the winning pitcher Kidder. Sutherlin has added strength to its team by including four men from Drain and one from Rose burg. The lone Roseburg man is Jerry Coen, holding down a pitch ers birth. Drain players are Ray Cellars in center field, Earl Simp son on second, and the battery of Gordon and Joslyn. The tournament has been ar ranged by Clair LaGrander. He is being aided by the Drain post of the American Legion, of which White Pitches Tiger Victory By JACK HAND Associated Press SporUwriter Hal White, an obscure refugee from the bullpen, gave the Tigers' pennant hopes a shot in the arm yesterday with a brilliant two-hit shutout of New York, 4-0. That's why the Tigers are two games out front in the American League. The While of Aug. 2, 1950 finally fulfilled the promise of the "Kid from Utica" who blazed a 12-12 record for the Tigers in his rookie year of 1942. But there have been many blank spots in betwee.i. Par ticularly World War 2. The war took something out of Hal. When he came back, he just didn't have it. Four years four flops. Finally in May of 1949, Rolfe sent White to Toledo a give-up gesture. White fought his way back to the majors with a 10-8 record at Toledo. But not as a starter. Last spring, Rolfe had new hopes for White in the bullpen. How ever, he got a chance as a starter In late June and early July. After three starts he went back on re lief. Yesterday the 31-year-old right hander faced only 31 men. Singles by Gene Woodling in the third and Johnny Mize in the fourth marred his no-hit bid. White did a job at the plate, too, driving in what proved to be the winning run with a second-inning single off Allie Reynolds. Despite White's fine effort, the Tigers have no relief. The Yan kees, clinging to second place by three percentage points, must be faced again this afternoon. And Cleveland, also two games back, becomes a more serious threat each day. Larry Doby hit three successive homers for the Indians last night as Bob Lemon won his 17th the easv way by an 11-0 score over Washington. T. V. HIGHER NEW YORK UP) The first sale of television for the world series in 1947 brought $65,000. This year, more than $500,000 has al ready been bid for the 1950 TV rights and the final figure may jump another 1100,000. Homer Hungerford is commander. Drain will pay all expenses of the four teams while they are there. Arrangements have b e en made with local auto courts t o house the boys and they will eat at local restaurants. Drain Coach Tommy Cox h a s announced Sutherlin and Albany as the favorites in the tourney, based on showings made by the various nines, in the intersections I games that have been played. However with subsequent strength ening of the teams the entire sit uation -may he changed.
