HOUSING IFOR A Tha Ntwt-Rariaw, Rotaburg, Schemers Nab City Loop Win Over Pitco Nine Schemers went on a hitting spree last night at Finlay field while pitcher Hoy Baughman was holding Pitco to one hit. Final score: 9-0. In the other City Softball league game undefeated Tri'City stayed undefeated by slap ping Firmco, 9-5, scoring the win ning runs in an extra inning. While Baughman was going Pitco's McDaniels the only hit, the Squirt-! were pounding out runs in every inning out the first and last. They scored two each in the second and third and went crazy with five in the fourth. In this fourth inning Pefferding gave up five hits and two walks as every Squirt came to the plate once. Firmco drove the other game into an extra inning by scoring five runs in the third inning as pitcher Floyd lost his utuff for a while and allowed a walk and three hits. By this time Tri-City had four runs, one each in the first and second and two in the third. It wasn't until the seventh that they managed to squeeze in another on a Firmco. error. They made sure of the game in the eighth as Racher got on with a fielder's choice, Duncan was hit by the pitcher, and Bud Ward slapped a double. Then Spencer ended the game's scoring by smashing a homer. Cijy league director Jack Newby has announced that the Pitco-Elks game scheduled for Wednesday night has been canceled. In its place Pitco will play Schemers in a doubleheader to decide the first half championship.

U.S. Amateur Golf Entrants See More Hope BEVERLY J1ILLS. Calif -r UP) Mr. Leslie towncs Hope, clown, took to the fairways in company with 39 other colters today in an effort to qualify for the U. S. amateur tournament. Other than for exhibition or charity purposes this will be Bob Hope's first crack at a major golf ing fixture. The amateur starts Aug. 21 at Minneapolis. Hope first must conquer the tricky Bel-Air Country club greens in today's 36-hole round. Southern California will send nine qualifiers to Minneapolis. f . i . : .. u ki- XlUpe 18 IHIUIlg Up WUS1C 1119 nerennial links cronv. Bins Crosby, left off. Crosby, you'U re member, entered the British am ateur, two months back and. lost in the first round. Hope seems destined for a sim ilar fate because, although Hope will never admit it, Crosby is the better shotmaker by about three strokes. Competition will come from the area's foremost performers, in cluding Jim Ferrier, Mac Hunter, Willie Barber, and Walker Cup pers, Johnny Dawson and Bruce McCormick. Hope isn't the only screen luminary in the field, either. Randolph Scott went out today; so did Dennis O'Keefe. fieieath Hope's buffoonery lies a smooth and occasionally sub par game that has ranked him among filmland's best. "I'll never forget my first 69." he remarked once. "I don't know when it's coming, but believe me, i'll never forget it." Actually, the clown prince of golf shoots in the middle 70's at his horn club, Lakeside, hangout of many film personalities. Hope s entry seems appropriate enough. Not only does he spend most ot nis spare nours on tne course, but he's also a director of the Western Golf association. "Golf is a wonderful game." Hope avers. "Socially, it will help you more than anything besides using the right soap." He usually manages to smack the ball straight off the tee. A memorable exception occurred last June 4, though, at the charity tournament at Washington D. C. Hop hooked his drive and hit a spectator in the shins. Fortunately, the gent had a wooden leg.

This local team attended the junior Oregon open at Portland against such potent clubs as MAC. Aero and Cosmo politan and made a fine showing, every man winning his heat and every man placing fifth or better. No other team placed all its mem bers. Ike Williams Loses Encounter WASHINGTON (AP) Light weight champion Ike Williams took another licking last night this time at the gloves of a practically unknown welterweight from Phoe nix, Ariz. Charley Salas, 22-year-old Mexican-Italian, gained an easy 10 round decision over Williams winning seven and dropping two. The other round was even. Williams weighed in at 139'i pounds; Salas at 146. Williams' loss to Salas, coming only a month after a similar de feat by welterweight George (Sug ar) Costner, made a rematch be tween Costner and Williams, pro posed for next month at Modison Square Garden, somewhat doubt ful. Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Wil liams manager, immediately re quested a return match with Salas. Chris Dundee, Salas' co-manager, said Salas was willing "if Williams wants it." Salas came out of last night's bout unscarred. He handed Wil liams a nose bleed midway through the bout, opened a cut above his eye and slashed his cheeks. HALF BACK EAST LANSING, Mien.

T. nY Giants Still On Path Up In National by JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sporuwrlter Remember the date July 20, 1950. That's the day the New York Giants took such a drubbing at the hands of the St. Louis Cardin als. After taking an 18-4 thump ing inthe afternoon, they came back to suffer a 10-3 loss at night to sink deeper into sixth place. That made it 13 defeats in their last 14 games. The weary and groggy Giants dragged their feet into the club house fully prepared for a typical Durocher tongue-lashing. It never came. "Go out," he said, "and have fun. I don't care what you do or when you get back. The curfew is lifted. Just make sure you show up at the ball park tomorrow." The result? Sixteen victories in the next 17 games. It looked like the Giants might drop one last night. They spotted the Braves a 3-1 lead in the first inning but roared back with a 14-hit attack to whip Boston, 9-3. The triumph boosted the h i g h flying Giants to withLi two and a half games of the fourth place Cards, who were buried binder a 9-0 score by the pace-setting Phil adelphia Phils. They were the only games played in the majors yesterday. The'results left the National lea gue pennant picture looking like this: the Phils lead the field by four games. The Braves are i n second place, a half game in front of the Dodgers. The Cards are five and a half games out. The Giants, a new contender, trail by eight games. Monte Kennedy started for the Giants but it was Jack Kramer who picked up the victory.

AMERICAN LEAGUE (UNCHANGED) Second Defeat In League Puts Chiefs In Hole The twin bill which the Urno- qua Chiefs divided Sunday after noon at erooKmgs -give the local team their eighth win and second loss. Neither game was particularly a thriller as each team won its respective game by eight runs. Roseburg taking the first 8-0 and Brookings the last 9-1. This means that in order to stay in the battle for first place the Chiefs must grab both games from the potent lemrai roimers. Although there wasn't much doubt in either game to keep the fans on the edge of their seats. iron man Bus Sporer handled the pitching chores tor 14 innings. He pitched the entire first game and came back in the fifth inning of the second game. The big inning in the first game for Roseburg was the first. Kirk patrick got a single with the bases loaded and scored Lovell Baker. Then with the bases still occupied Norvai Kitcney cracited a n i c c double to drive in three more for a total of four. Another run was scored in the second and three more in the fifth. Sporer allowed only three hits. Brookings pitcher Shotwell r e turned the favor in the second game by whitewashing the Chiefs and allowing them in turn .only three hits. Three men scored in the first, a lone one in the fifth and five in the sixth. Roseburg got its only run in the seventh inning of the abbre viated second game on a long fly by Baker that let Ritchey scamper home from third.
