Central Chiefs, Single run games seem to be the trademark, of the Umpqua Chiefs and the Central Point Studs because they played another Sun day afternoon which the Studs took by a score of 1-0. This cinches the Southern Oregon Baseball league title for Central Point. This was the second game won by that identical score this sea son between the two clubs and the third in two years. Sunday's game was not quite so spectacular as the one the Chiefs won a short time ago, but it was just as tightly played. The Studs rapped up their only run early in the game. It was the second inning when left fielder Norm I.ucich cracked a single to left and was sacrificed to second by Frank Roelandt. Then Clarence Mellby got the most timely hit of the game a double which was the earned run that won the game From then on it was topghsled ing for both teams. Pitchers Bus Sporer and Paul Gehrman bore down so hard that hits became almost extinct. The Central Point Aussie Tennis Stars Take Davis Cup From U.S. Team FOREST HILLS, N. Y. .V The United States had held the Davis cup since 193 ,but the Aus tralians, unimpressed with power as is the case of most youth, won it back over the weekend. And today, the Aussies began their quest for a double the Amer ican national championship, which has been in this country sine; 1936. That year, Fred Perry of England beat Don Budge in the - final for his third title in four years. The Australians could do it, too. They have a better chance of win ning the singles than they had of of takin"- the cup which they grab bed in three straight matches. Yesterday's final two singles were anti-climactic. Frank Sedgman won . from Ted Schroeder, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, ' and Tom Brown salvaged some thing for the home cause by lick ing Ken McGregor, 9-11, 8-10, 11-9, 6-1, 6-4. Schroeder, making his farewell in cup competition, was far below his best. He looked as though he wanted to get it over as fast as possible. But Erown played as though the entire outcome of the cup hinged on the match. LAMOTTA AND FRENCHMAN middleweight champion, signs to Dauthille I right I of Prance in Detroit, Mich., (Sept. 13).

(AP WIREPHOTOI 1st Division Far West Clubs Have Fat Time By The Associated Press First division clubs in the Far West league had a fat time of it over the weekend they swept Saturday's and yesterday's games 1 from second division foes. The Redding Browns held their one game 1 ad after cooling Marys ville 16 to 9 yesterday and 10 to 3 Saturday. The leaders amassed 41 runs in the three game series. Klamath Falls bounced back from its costly Friday defeat t o squash pesky Willows 9 to 0 Satin -day and 9 to 6 yesterday. Satur day Andy Sierra blanked the Cards with six hits to pick up his 20th win. He fanned 11 to make his total 2.11. Sunday the Gems rapped out 16 singles and a homer by outfielder Chet Ashman. The Reno Silver Sox put t h e Medford Rogues on a starvation diet, blanking them two days in a rcw. Saturday, Pat Monahan led the Orenons with four hits and whiffed 14 to win 7 to 0. Bob Trestler was the hypnotizer yesterday, whitewashing the Ro gues 1 io 0 with cif!ht hiis. The Sox picked up their lone marker in the fifth on Marv Diorck's double and Dick Zaccarelli's single. Free and easy work at the plaie gave Pittsburgh a 17 to 7 victory over Eugene. The Diamonds slap ped out 18 safeties. Catcher Don Kraser had four for four to knock in four runs. The Diamonds captured yester day's contest on a brilliant piece ot larceny by Joe Vanchuk. He stole home in the ninth to give Pittsburg a 7 to 6 win. PHONY FIGURES KNOXVILLE. Tenn.-J.Pi Here J proof that tootbalt statistics can be deceiving: Tennessee's 1949 rec ord was seven wins, two defeats and one tie yet the Volunteers' oppo nents piled up 112 first downs 10 Tennessee' 89 and out-gained them from scrimmage 1.818 yards lo 1.28.1 But in touchdowns. Tennessee netted 31 to the opposition's IS. Point Defeats Cinches Crown ers collected one more hit A sin gle by George Gitzen and that was all. The Chiefs got half their hits in the first inning, but not when they ! counted Lovell Baker, who also got half the teams' hits, slapped a single. He was cut off at sec ond, however, on a fielder's choice. It was lucky for the Studs that pitcher Gehrman nipped him with the throw to seeond because George Sanders poled a single too that could have allowed Baker to score. Right fielder Norvall Ritchey got a double for the longest Chief hit of the game. He died on base as the next two men grounded out. The .worst break of the game took place in the eighth inning. George Sanders had been walked with two men out. He decided to try a steal to second but Stud catcher Roeldndt saw the play and whipped the ball to second. It got away from second baseman Don Fawcett. Sanders rounded second and lost his footing when he de cided he couldn't make third. In Brown dropped the first two sets to McGregor more because of poor strategy than anything else. He insisted on trying to handle the young Aussie's service from inside the baseline, a virtually impossible tisk. In the final three sets h e moved about five feet outside the baseline and that spelled McGreg or's doom. With Budge Patty. Wimbledon winner, having defaulted because of an injured ankle, McGregor or Sedgman loom as the likely favor ites to take the singles title. Our best, according to the form chart, is young Hcrhie Flam, national clay courts ruler. He was seeded No. 2 in the domestic draw he hind Patty. Now he automatically takes over the No. 1 spo'.. However, on the basis of h i s performance against McGregor, Brown, who was a star back in 1947, stands the best chance of getting over tie hurdles thrown up by the foreign players. Among the women, Mrs. Mar garet Osborne DuPont, winner for the past two years, will have to get past such worthies as Louise Brough, Pat Canning Todd and Shirley Fry.

Mich. 3-Cent Stamp Pays Off For Golfer Congdon SPOKANE (,P) Three cents invested by Joe Albi. president of the Athletic Round Table, paid off at 20,000 to 1 here yesterday fur Tacoma's golfing ace, Chuck Cong don. The sparse-haired, poker-faced pro picked up $600 first prize money in winning the Esmeralda open golf tournament. He burned up the fairways with a sizzling 14-under par 274 for 72 holes to finish well ahead of Marvin (Bud) Ward and Porkv Oliver in a tour nament he hadn't intended enter ing. It was (he three cents invested by Albi that turned the trirk. Albi wrote Congdon a last minute letter urging him to enter the tourna ment. Congdon consented. the meantime, center fielder Clyde Blevins had also booted the ball. Sanders finally got to third, but had he not slipped he could have very probably made it home. Pitcher Gehrman cornered the strikeout department by fanning ten Chiefs. He walked three. Sporer fanned three and walked one. He gave up only three hits to Gehrman's four. By far the most spectacular fielding gem of the game was made by left fielder Norm Lucich. Lovell Baker, who had reached first the previous three times, slapped a long foul fly toward the left field fence. Lucich raced to the spot and made a terrific backhanded catch in the tall grass growing near the fence. Second baseman Bob Kirkpatrick did some fine infielding for the Chiels by uncanny judging of bouncing grounders on the rough field. This loss gives the Chiefs sole possession of second place, wilh 11 wins and three losses. The Studs have won 13 and lost only one a 1-0 decision to the Chiefs.

It was a cat and mouse game as O'Reilly no mean grunt and groaner himself fought a largely defensive battle as if realizing the tremendous record the Chicago vis itor had piled up behind him. This record is 300 matches with only one defeat a disputed deci sion. He was undefeated in college, AAU, NCAA and Olympic wrest-' ling. Until recently he has' been wrestling coach at the University of Illinois, his old alma mater. It has been said that even Jim Lon dis, while he was llassed as one of the greatest, wouldn't tangle with the 200-pound behemoth. An interesting sidelight to his career is the fact that he was riding in the jeep with Xrnie Pyle when the latter was killed on Iwo Jima. The muscular Chicogoan came pouncing into the ring like a play ful bulldog and, after feeling out his opponent, pu; on such a show of fancy footwork and rare holds as to make the fans sit up and take notice. He moved extremely fast and took the first fall with a reverse surfboard. Then he cinced the match with his favorite the standing backbreaker, a hold never before seen in the local armory. After Silvers disposed of O'Reilly he issued an open challenge to "the man who thinks he's pretty tough around these parts, Leo Vallick." Jack Kiser pickpd up his second decision in as many weeks over Ace Abbott by reason of the un sportsmanlike behavior of the Tex as cowboy in the preliminary. The crowd was on its feet screaming continuously for Kiser in the match that almost reached the point of barroom brawling, but the younger man lost the match by way of the regular fall methods. Kiser 'took the first with a series of flying drop kicks and a body press. Then Abbott came back with vim to take the second with a re verse headlock and the third with a Boston crab. Kiser was pounding him into submission with some spectacular flyi.ig drop kicks in the third fall but he missed one and got his legs caught in the ropes, falling to the mat and hurt ing his neck. After Abbott had been awarded the fall. Referee Elton Owen began working on Kiser's neck and Abbott loosed a kick in the direction of his prostrate op ponent. For this Owen reversed his decision.

Coach Ted Ogdahl's Porllanders held the Staters to their own ter ritory through the first half and then, after an automatic safety two points, powerhoused to the touch down. Portland quarterback Dale Bret hauer of Jefferson got off a 56 yard quick kick to the State 16 to set up the safety. Jack Morris of Medford was down in his tracks o.i the attempt to carry. After working out to the 23, a 15-yard holding penalty forced Morris to kick. Big Jim Roberts of. Roose velt powered through the state line to block the kick and it bounded into the end zone for the safety. State kicked from its 20 and Portland's Don Foreman of L i n coln took off for a 23-yard run to the state 46. The city team was on its way to the touchdown.

Then Siebert plunged for three to the 22 and Brethauer smashed the line to the 16. Next Ed Wcnn of Washington banged over for a one yard advance. Then after a temporary setback, Brefhauer gained nine to the four.

League-leading Oakland retained its 5Vs-ganie margin over San Di ego, thanks largely to Bobby Huf man, who clouted a homer in each game, the second breaking a 33 tie to give the Acorns a 4-3 night cap Decision over Los Angeles. The Oaks took the opener, 8-4, as George Aletkovich and Frank Baumholtz also homered. Baumholtz, the high-flying Angel bidding for a .400 batting mark, got six hits in seven trips, includ ing two doubles and the homer. San Diego got a three-hit 2-0 shutout from George Zuverink i n the seven-inning affair, then wal loped Sacramento, 6-1, over the regulation route behind Hal Sallz man's five-hitler. San Francisco two-timed Holly wood, 8-4, and 2-0, on slick south pawing by Ted Savarese and Al Lien. The former, a rookie who looks something like old Tony Frei tas, ex-Satramento ace, took his second straight since coming up from Tacoma. This was a 5 2-3-inning relief stint in the opener, in which he pitched scoreless, three hit ball. . Lien pitched four-hit ball in the short finale. Brooks Holder's dou ble and triple were vital in the win. Hector Brown and Jim Davis were Seattle's winners against Portland, 6-4 arid 9-0. Davis posted a five-hit whitewash over the short route. The Beavers' Luis Marquez got orders to report to his draft board in Puerto Rico. The 24-year-old ace ot the Portland outfield will leave today and may be lost to the club for a week or more.

Champ's Champ Wins National Golfing Crown MINNEAPOLIS lP) Sammy Urzetta, wilh his set of doctored up golf clubs bought from caddie money, is a cnampion s cnampiou. After the 24-year-old son of an immigrant ianilor won the national amateur title Saturday, his oppo nent, Frank Stranhan voiced the opinion of all: ' ham, you are a greai goner nd a great champion." Stranahan, who has won the Brit ish, Canadian, French and other imatotir crowns but never has been able to nail Ihe U. S. diadem in five attempts, was a champion loser. He told the affable Urzetta, the pride of Rochcsler, N. Y that "ot all the goners t nave piayeu all over the world, both amateur and professional, you, Sammy, played the finest iron shols in our match that I have ever seen." Urzctla and the millionaire's son from Toledo, on Saturday battled 39 holes in the longest marathon in the 50-year history of the na tional amaitnir meet. Stranahan's drive went out of bounds and. he eventually missed a 10 foot putt to take a 6 on Ihe final hole, ur Zetta's tec shot was in a trap, he was short on two but was on with his third for two putts and a win ning par 5. Urzetta, was even par for Ihc distance and Stranahan was one over. Frank was never up at any time, was outdriven on nearly every hole and was forced to matt a half dozen pressure putts of from 6 to 8 feet lo halve holes. Four times he came from hrhinn to square mailers, nui couin never nrpcK ahead. "I was really afraid it was all over on Ihe 36th." said Urzetta, who came up to the scheduled last hole all even. "That flubbed chip shot off Ihe green went only three fee; it was the straightest wedge shot I hit all day." Sammy was on in four, afler muffing the shot, and holed a five foot putt for a one-over 5. Stran ahan's chip was 12 feet long and he two pul.ed lor his halve. He mus judged the downslnpe of the green or would have a cinched a par for victory.
