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.

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.

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.

Silvers Performs
Wrestling Magic,
Trounces O'Reilly
Wrestling fans were treated to
one of the -best grappling shows
seen in these parts Saturday night
as one of the world's greatest fun
damental wrestlers, "Ruffy" Sli
vers trimmed Jack O'Reilly easily
in two straight falls.
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.

PORTLAND P The Big
City All-Stars collected on a safety
and then rammed across a touch
down in the third quarter Satur
day night to defeat an Upstate
team, 8 to 0. in the third annual
Shrine Hospital benefit gridiorn
game.
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.
Brethauer's pass to Duane Sic-
bert of Grant was good for a first
down. Another to Dwane Helbit of
Roosevelt was good for 10 yards.
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.
Fullback Al Hansen of Grant
plunged to the one and Foreman
raced around left end for the
touchdown. ,
Don Ford missed the kick for
the extra point but it was of no
importance and the city team once
again had blanked the Staters.
Marshfield's Barney Holland and
Eugene's Don Siegmund staged a
fourt quarter running spree but it
bogged down on their own 46.
Roosevelt's Claret Taylor recov-
ered a State passing fumble soon
afterward and Portland took pos-
session on the Stale 26.

inert was nary a split yester
day as Oakland, San Diego, San
rrancisco and Seattle swept dou-
blheaders.
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

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.
