o Umpqua Roseburg Team Destined For Shaughnessy Playoff The Umpqua Chiefs moved back Into fourth place Sunday afternoon at Finlay field and appeared des tined to keep the last place in the post-season Shaughnessy playoffs the Southwestern Oregon league. The Chiefs edged the Brookings squad out of fourth place by de feating it, 5-0. This gave the Chiefs a 6-5 record with only Kcedsport and Myrtle Creek left to play. Brookings has a 6-8 record. It looked bad for starting pitcher, Bus Sporer, as Brookings left fielder Bill MacLane slammed his first pitch for a triple. But when MacLane was nipped on a play at home plate, it was as close as the losers came to a run. After a scoreless two innings, the Chiefs began hitting in their early season form. Virg Sanders caught one of Al Kruk's pitches for a single. He moved to second on Lovell Baker's single and came home with the first run on a double error by Mel Friend. Llndt Lofts Double The fifth inning was the big one for the Chiefs. Lovell Baker rapped his second single in three trips and moved to second when Hal Zurcher singled. Showing some of his old hitting spark, John Linde lofted a double out to center field to score both men. Linde came in with the rhird run of the inning when Norvall Ritchey singled. As additional security, Baker rapped a double in the sixth to score Bus Sporer who had reached first on an error. After the shaky first inning, Bus Sporer buckled down to fling one of his best games of the season. He gave up six hits, but never more than one an inning. Sporer had his big trouble with Bill MacLane who rammed three hits in four times at bat. This was half of the Brookings total. The first two pitches to him were fash ioned into a triple and a single. Lovell Baker, also a lcadoff man, made the same kind of show against Al Kruk. He flew out to right field in the first Inning, but slugged two singles and a double In his next three times at bat Two New Records Posted By Speedboat In Seattle SEATTLE - UP) - The Slo-Mo-Shun IV, holder of the world's speedboat record for the measured mile at loo miles per hour, added two new world's records yester day for competitive racing. The IV hung up the records In the Seafalr Trophy race on Lake Washington even while losing the three-heat race to another boat owned by Stan Sayrcs of Seattle, the Slo-Mo-Shun V. Lou Fageol drove the IV to the new marks in the second heat, turning up 112.530 miles per hour In the second lap and averaging 111.742 for the ten nautical miles of the two-lap heat.

(VAN)QVANDERHOEF DOUGLAS COJJNTY FAIRGROUNDS - Chiefs Blank Brookings, 5-0 Baker also staged one of the most sensational fielding plays of the season In the linn inning, wiin two men out, Al Kruk smashed out a tremendous fly to left field. Baker faded back but when he saw it comine out of the sun. he was loo far to the left side. He rushed to the right and picked It off his shoetops. Honorable mention Is also due Les Winders who played his first game at shortstop this year. Al though his hitting was no great shakes, he handled five assists in cluding the spark position in one of the most beautiful double plays nils season. Big Russian Wins Wild Mat Contest Frechle Roy didn't show up for his place in the six-man battle royal at the Roseburg armory Sat urday night, but the other five wrestlers staged one of the fastest, hardest mass brawls of the season. Mike Nazerian. with his tooth less sneer, made the mistake of attacking too many men at once. It wasn't over five minutes be fore he was screaming "quits" as four bodies stacked up on him. Walt Achiu was the next to go after Soldat Gorky wrapped his leg around the ropes and massaged it thoroughly. The other two men ganged up on Achiu to make the elimination official. The last three in the ring, Gorky, Rufus Jones and George Strick land circled each other like caged animals. Then, while Gorky stood by, Strickland put the hard headed Negro out of commission with an abdominal stretch. The main event between Gorky and Strickland was cut short when Strickland was unable to return for the second fall. After Strickland overran the mad Russian with arm stomps and arm leverage holds, Gorky caught the wiry Strick land off guard and administered his vaunted "Russian wolf leap." Strickland went down and hurt his back. He culdn't make ti back to the ring. This win gave the pompous Rus sian a $250 pur so and an open shot at the Pacific Junior Heavy weight title.

Mon., Aug. 13, 1951 Hyde Wins Main Event Run On Local Fairgrounds Oval Big Bill Hyde collected a couple of biff kisses Sunday at the bard top auto races. And, incidentally- he won a couple of events. Petite Hallie Bond planted a big buss on him after Hyde had driven his speedy No. 3 car around the track for 20 laps to win the "A" main event. Two hours before, the same thing had happened after Hyde had won the trophy dash. Pert Bev Henbest did the honors that time. Hyde moved out in first position early in the 20-lap main event and kept it all the way. The south turn of the fair grounds oval turned out to be a dangerous one Sunday. No one was hurt but several cars careened off the track and into the Infield after failing to negotiate the turn. Narrowly Escapes One driver- Bob Leffingwell, nar rowly escaped injury during the second heat, when bis racer spun out of control and hit the railing. A two-by-six board from the fence rammed through his car missing him by only an inch or two. The laugh event of the affair Sunday was the "destruction derby." Half a dozen jalopies spun around the infield clipping each other in an attempt to see which would last the longest. Indians Leave After Nipping By The Associated Press Cleveland's Indians stood alone atop the American league today, enjoying a game and a hall lead over the New York Yankees and all along the circuit they were whispering, "poetic justice." ' That's not what Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees believes, though. "We were the victims of rotten luck," he said. "Nothing more." Stengel was referring to yester day's second game 7-4 loss to the Athletics in Philadelphia. The A's also won the openre, 9-5, to sweep the doublelieadcr from New York. The double loss, coupled with Cleveland's 7-1 triumph over the Chicago White Sox, for their 10th straight win, snapped the Yankees Indians first place tie. Stengel had a point, too. His Yankees actually had a 9-7 lead following a five-run rally in the top of the eighth when play was halted and the score reverted back to the seventh inning. Pennsylvania has a Sunday 6:00 p. m. (EST) curfew law. Since the Athletics did not bat in their half of the eighth, the Yankees' five runs were wiped off. the records. That made the A's the winners. Similar To Chliox Tilt The Yankees sorry plight brought to mind a game played between the Yankees and Chicago in New York July 27. The Yankees led, 3-1, as the White Sox went to bat in the ninth. Chicago tallied three times to go ahead 4-3. But rain intervened and after an hour's wait the umpires called the game. The score reverted to the end of the eighth. That "made the Yan kees the winners. Poetic justice? Perhaps. Boston's third-place lied Sox re gained their winning ways, sweep ing a pair from Washington b y Identical 6-2 margins. Don Newcombe pitched Brooklyn to a i-i victory over the Bos ton Braves but the Dodgers' first place lead in the National was re duced to 124 games as the run nerup New York Giants swept a twin bill from Philadelphia's Phils, 3-2 and 2-1. The St. Louis Cardinals over came a 3 0 Cincinnati lead to win 4-3. Pittsburgh and Chicago swapped shutouts. The Yankee - Athletics nightcap ended in rain and darkness amid a welter of confusion.

Including the 1924 Hudson which made such a hit with the crowd Sunday. Even the winner of the main event couldn't keep up with Fay Taylour, woman racing enthusiast, who keeps pretty fast time. Driv ing Clarence Smith's speedy No. 2 car, she beat Hyde in a spe cial two-car race. Miss Taylor, speaking over the grandstand public address system said a few farewell words to the crowd. The poem, which she wrote on a bus between Portland and Salem, was dedicated to Clar ence Smith, whose racing car she borrowed on occasions. She will leave shortly for Cali fornia to mako arrangements for a "barnstorming" tour of the east. SUMMARY Class A main event: 120 laps) Bill Hyde, winner. 2. Charlie Nordwlck, 3.

Ray Scarborough and Will Wight, principals In the Red Sox - White Sox winter trade, teamed up for the first time this season to give Boston its double win. Each per mitted eight hits.

Sacramento 3-8 San Diego 10-1, Seattle 6-2 (second game 10 Innlngsl With only 29 games to go, today seems like as good a time as any to calibrate Seattle's prospects for sewing up the Pacific Coast league pennant. The Rainiers, now lead'ng b y five games as the resu't of Sun day's exercises, could se more than half of their remaining games and still take it all. Figuring on that basis, the sec ond place Hollywood Stars would still have to win 20 of their games better than two thirds to grab the flag from Seattle. Barring a disastrous slump then, or a phenomenal upsurge by the Hollywoods, the Rainiers seem reasonably assured of annex ing their fifth PCL championship and their first in 10 years. Hollywood was anything but phenomenal yesterday. By drop ping both ends of a double header to Los Angeles, the Stars fell fur ther in arrears and enabled their crosstown cousins to regain third place in the standings. The scores were 3-2 and 10-5. Seattle, meanwhile, split even with San Diego, losing the first game, 10-6, but winning the sched uled seven inning finale, 2-1, on a single in the last of the 10th by catcher Joe Erautt. Tuesday night Seattle opens a four game home series .with the faltering Sacramento Solons a good chance for the Rainiers to fat ten up before moving south to take on Hollywood. Sacramento lost Its fifth straight yesterday as the Portland Beavers swept the double header and edged into a fourth place tie with Oakland. ' Portland took the opener, 5-3, and the afterpiece, 7:6, on Joe La Fata's tie breaking single in the second overtime in ning. I Another extra Inning game took place at San Francisco, where the 1. 2. o o Jackion St. S1G It took four tries, but the Ump qua Chiefs turned the tables on the Medford Cheney Studs Satur day afternoon at Sutherlin. It goes without saying, the win. was achieved by a one-run margin. The Chiefs won, 9-8. Two-base hits were a dime a dozen in the Timber Days exhi bition tilt. Because high bank shortened left field to about 200 feet, a ground rule was instituted giving the batter a automatic double if a ball was hit that far. As a result, Medford accounted for 10 and the Chiefs picked up four, a total of 14 two-bascrs. The Studs had only two singles, but with all the long ball-hitting by the potent Medford nine, the Chiefs turned the winning trick by making their singles when they were most needed. The battle hung in a balance for the first three and a half inn ings as the lead changed hands twice. Medford scored the first tally in the top half of the ooening frame. The leadoff man, George Gitzcn, slammed an automatic two-bagger off starting pitcher Mickey Coen and the perennial thorn in the Chiefs side. Norm Lucich, repeated the performance to bring him home. The Chiefs took over the pace position in the bottom half of that frame. H a 1 Zurcher walked and John Linde scpred him with an automatic two baser. He scored on Norvall Ritchey's single. Medford doubles tied it up at 2,2 in the second. Cliff Piland hit the first, and Gitzen slammed his second in two trips to the plate to bring Piland across. In the third, Lucich hit his second double and Jack Lutz walked. Then, for the third consecutive inning, a Medford man hit a seond double. Seals divided with Oakland. Joe Grace's run producing single in the 10th his fourth hit in five trips to the plate gave the Seals a 6-5 triumph in the opener. Oak land blasted San Francisco's bonus rookie, Ed Cereghino, out of the box in the sixth inning of the night cap and won it easily, 8-1.

Dexter Carey singled and scoed on Dick Johnson's automatie double. Cliff Piland then loaded the bases with two walks. George Sanders cracked another of those automatics to bring in Johnson and Virg. Sanders. Norvall Ritchey clared second and third with t sharp single. Roseburg Coach Bun Kelsay used up three pitcher over the nie in nine route. Coen was relieved by a new addition to the staff Wally Beimer, In the fifth. Jerry Cade came in to relieve him in the eighth. For Medford, D a r o 1 d Wooten relieved Piland at the end of six.
