Annual Summer City League Defunct
Because Teams Lack Place To Play
A great hue and cry haai arisen
among Roseburg Softball players
because the annual summer City
league hat become defunct for lack
of a place to play.
Investigation revealed that the
diamond used last year is almost
useless because the Umpqua Chief
baseball team has priority and its
unpredictable scheduling system
makes It impossible to make up a
definite aoftball schedule.
The only other feasible site is
the Veterans field at the Veterans
hospital, but it has been cornered
by the YMCA Twilight league, ac
cording to aoftball booster Fred
Schemer.
Schemer reported that he had
approached the mayor and park
commission in an effort to bring
soflball under a city recreational
program, but he noted that prog
ress had been slow to date. He
said there is a definite need for
the program, because it is one of
the few recreational activities in
which many men can compete in
Roseburg.
While investigating the problem,
Schemer said he had found several
sites that looked promising for a
Softball facility. He cited Ellis Is
land and the parking lot near the
fairgrounds as most ideal. II e
pointed out that Drain has one of
the best diamonds in the county
and it was constructed through
concentrated effort by t h e city's
merchants. It is his hone that Rose
burg can do aomething along
this line, he said.
He added that the city need
only furnish the ground. Players in
terested would be more than will
ing to do the rest, he said. "We
have the labor to construct the dia
mond and we even have the labor
to put up the lights," Schemer re
ported. In conclusion, Schemer asked
Poland's Tennis Ttam
Given Final Ultimatum
MILAN Pl Poland's Davis
Cup tennis team was given until
today to show up at Venice or for
feit ita third round match to Italy
in the European tone eliminations.
The Italian tennis federation laid
down the ultimatum after t h e
Poles proposed unofficially,
through e broadcast In Warsaw by
the official Polish press agency,
that the matches be shifted to War
saw. Italian net officials said they
wouldn't agree to a change of site.
They said they'd sent three tele
grams to the Polish tennis organ
ization but had heard nothing.
The sites are fixed by the British
I.awn Tennis association, which
runs the K.uropean section of the
cup competition. This group said
It would back Italy.

DETROIT -lPl Sports Editor
I.yall Smith of the Detroit Free
Press said today that Bill Veeck
is "within a pitch and a putt" of
getting a $750,0(10 loan from a New
York bank to finance his intended
purchase of the St. Louis Browns.
Smith said Veeck. former owner
of the Cleveland Indians, ia ao con
fident the deal will go through that
he has arranged to bring Joe Gor
don back from the Pacific Coast
league as his manger.
Gordon, now managing Sacra
mento, was a long time New York
Yankee star before Veeck acquired
him for the Indian in a trade in
volvini Ditcher Allie Reynolds.
Smith said the New York back
ing was needed by Veeck to clear
up final details for the Browns'
purchase from their present own
ers. Bill and Charley De Witt.
Smith said he had learned that
Veeck turned down offers of fi
nancial support from west coast
sources, which were interested in

Contest, 4-2;
Boston Loses
By JACK HAND
Assorts led Prtw Sporta WriUr
Maybe- White Sox fans should
try the black cat and rabbit's
foot curse on Vic (never lost in
Chicago) Raschi.
It worked in Cleveland where
the citizens routed the Eddie Lo
pat jink .with a strategic appli
cation of one black tabby and 15,
000 rabbit'a feet. Chicago trusted
in Paul Richard'a black magic.
It wasn't enough as Raschi turned
back the Sox, 4 2, on seven hits.
Comiskey park customers who
never had seen the husky New
York Yankee ace lose a game
must rate him in the Walter John
son class. Both losses io his 13-2
lifetime record against the Sox
were auffered at Yankee Stadium.
But the Sox can console them
selves with a 3'i game lead and
the knowledge that Raschi can't
work every day. Frank Shea, to
day's foe, may be a softer touch.
Three big games remain in this
first important series of the sea
son. Raschi amashed the Sox's six
game win streak last night belore
53,490 fans, a new Comiskey park
attendance record. The old hih
was 53,325 for a doubleheader with
Cleveland. May 15, 1949 when old
Satchmo Paige waa atill around.
Tw. Sacrifices
Eddie Robinson's 11th homer
with Nelson Fox on base put Ras
chi behind the eight ball in the
third. But the Yanks got to loser
Kenny Holcombe for two in the
fourth, driven in by Johnny Mopp's
double and Mickey Mantle'a single.
Three singles and two sacrifices
won the game in the fifth with
Gene Wood ling and Bobby Brown
singling home the runs.
Bobby Feller, only one win be
hind Kaschi with his 8-1 record,
dusted off Boston, 7-1, to get re
venge for his one loss. It was Bos-'
ton's seventh defeat in 10 starta
since leaving friendly Fenway.
The Indians assured Feller of
his eighth win with a five-run out
burst in the second inning, rout
ing Maury McDermott. After con.
secutive errors by Bobby Doerr
and Vern Stephens and a walk,
loaded the bases, Jim llega
drove home three with a whistling
double. Alter Feller fanned, Dale
Mitchell hit his second homer. lie
gan also added a homer off Wil.
lard Nixon, third Boston pitcher,
in the sixth.
Feller ended Dom DiMagio'a
consecutive game hitting streak
at 27 games. Dom filed out three
times and grounded out twice. He
hit .403 during his streak.
Senators Smothered
Detroit cut loose with eight runs
in the third inning to smother Phil
adelphia, 8-2, while Dizzy Trout
acatlered nine hits for his third
win. The Tigers sent 12 men to the
plate in the third to face loser
Carl Scheib and Morris Martin.
Jerry I'nddy had two ainglea in
the inning.
Rain washed out the Washington
St. Louis night game with the
Senatora leading 41 at the end
of the four innings.
The National League all-night
schedule was cut to one game by
rain. Chicago at New York, Pitts
burgh at Brooklyn and Cincinnati
at Philadelphia all were postponed.
They managed to play at Bos
ton where rookie Joe Presko o(
the St. Louis stopped the Bravea
with six hits, 2-1. Tht win gave
the Cards undisputed possession
of second place, six games be
hind the idle Dodgers.
i'resko's sixth win missed being
a ahutnut when Walker Cooper
homered in the ninth. Both St.
I.ouia runs scored on errors by
Bob Elliott who made three for
the night.

West Side Beats
Church Team, 51-0
"Hurry Up" Yost's point-a-min-ute
teams were pikers compared
to the West Side aoftball team
Friday night. Yost's footballers
tan up their prodigious scores on
a six-point a throw basis. West
Side did it a run at a time.
Using only six innings the West
Siders defeated the Baptist church
in the evening's only YMCA Twi
light league game by a fantastic
score of 51-0 SI runs for an aver
age of 8'4 runa an inning.
In winning the scorer's night
mare, the winners collected no less
than- 32 hits 13 of them homers.
Here's how the scoring went. With
the aid of aix home runs in the
opening frame, West Side got 10
iuns. Seven more came in in the
second, but somebody loafed in
the third and only two runs scored
With a second wind, the West
Siders made up for it with a 14-run
splurge in the fourth. This was
the big inning since the best they
could do in the remaining two can
tos was six and eleven runs re
spectively. When the dust cleared,
72 batters had come to the plate
and 70 percent of them had
scored.
Jerry Parmeter led the
slaughter with four homers in eight
times to bat. Every one of his
first three times at bat resulted in
home runs. Close behind him were
Ron Compton and James Gilbert
with three each. In fact, of the
10 men in the lineup, only four
didn't get in at least one round
tripper.
In the meantime. West Side
pitcher Sam Reitman scattered
three Baptist hits to set the losers
down almost in order.
Drain Legion Nine
Nips Myrtle Creek
The Drain Junior Legion base
ball team played its first district
league game of the season Friday
night and pushed across two runs
in the sixth inning to break a tie
and defeat visiting Myrtle Creek,
5-3.
Each team had had a two-and-one-run
inning going into the bot
tom half of the sixth frame. Then,
with George LaGrander on third,
a Myrtle Creek player bobbled
Larry Oatney's fly and La Grander
scored the winning tally. For good
measurer, Allen Brown came in
with the final run when Dave
Scott singled.
Both teams left nine men on
bases, but tbose men didn't often
get there on hits. Drain's Ray
Cellers gave up only four aingles
and Myrtle Creek'a McCauley was
close behind allowing only six.
Jim Phillips, collected just half
those hits for the losers. Both ht
and Drain's Scott had two aingles
in four times at bat.
