This year the Junior chamber of commerce has contracted to test a similar fall on the human anatomy. At 11 a.m. Saturday morning, a man who calls himself "Pierre of Paris" will launch the Southern Oregon Invitational swim meet and water carnival by diving off the top of the five story building Into a hall tilled barrel of water. With not the slightest thought of expense, the Jaycees contracted for the services of this high diver as definite proof that the 1951 meet will be the greatest ever held here. Frankly, though, It has been s secret ambition of "Pierre's" to take the dive, according to Jay cee President Gordon Carlson. You see he's made high dives in every major capital of the world. He's plummeted off the top of the Wash ington monument He's flung him self headlong from the Eiffel tower in Paris. But one has always es caped him. That's the Timber cap ital.

Byrne Drives In Four Runs For Browns By JACK HAND (AP Sports Writer) Tommy Byrne, a hard luck buy from way back, found No. 13 the charm to ending Cleveland's all winning rush toward the American league pennant , . The ex-Yankee, shunted to the last place St. Louis Browns in mid-June, made his 13th start of the season yesterday. It coincided with a 13 - game Cleveland win string. The result was rough on the Indians, whose lead was re duced to 1V4 games by a 4-0 loss. No Cleveland club ever won! more than 13 in a row. The 19412 team got that far in May before Boston dumped them. The current Tribe tied that mark Wednesday night. Byrne took complete charge of ending the streak by driving home au tour runs oif loser Mike Gar cia before he left the game with a sore back In the eighth. Duane Pillette finished the shutout job on Cleveland which hadn't lost since Aug, 1. The o-3 New York victory at Washington slashed a full game off the Indians' lead. Both of the other first division clubs lost Boston to Philadelphia, 10-2 and Chicago to Detroit 2-1. There were faint stirrings of hope for a belated race In the National after New York knocked off ' Brooklyn, 2-1, for a series sweep and a six game winning streak. The dodger lead, however, still measured 9'a games with 43 to play. St. Louis broke loose with six runs in the seventh to trim Pitts burgh, 9-6, and Chicago exploded four in the ninth to whip Cincin nati, 8-4, in the only night game In the majors. Boston and Phila delphia were not scheduled. Byrnes pertormance against Cleveland was a super job. Al ways plagued by wildness, he handed out only four walks. Until only two hits. One of the hits was a double by Larry Doby who pulled a muscle in his left leg on the play. It was Byrne's two-run single with the bases full in the second inning that opened the scoring. Byrne's ground out drove home another in the fourth and his single in the sixth added the final run. The Yanks, collecting a big divi dend on Byrne's job, also re ceived their first win contribution from Art Schallock, Rookie 'left hander from the coast league. Un til he wilted in the heat after seven Innings, he gave only one run. Joe Ostrowski yielded two more in his two-inning relief job. Woodling's 12th homer led the at tack on loser Dick Starr and two others. Red Sox Loie Philadelphia climbed all over the Red Sox pitchers for. 14 hits, in cluding Zeke Zernial's 25th home run. Clyde Vollmer gave Boston its only runs off Bobby Shantz with a two-run homer, his 21st, Ray Scarborough was the loser. Dizzy trout was the big noise in the Tigers' triumph over the White Sox. He gave up only six hits and beat Joe Dobson with his fifth inning home run. It was Bobson's second straight 2-1 loss. Sal Maglie threw a four-hitter at the Dodgers for his 17th win. It took a wild pitch by Don New combe with two out in the seventh to give the Giants the run that proved decisive. Billy Cox's homer gave the Dodgers their only run. The six - game streak is the Giants' longest of the year. Gerry Staley, coming back on relief after losing Wednesday night, picked up his 14th win for the Cards at the expense of Murry Dickson. Stan Muslal's 27th homer with two on in the sixth preceded in the six-run St. Louis uprising in the seventh. Chcago just beat the clock at Cincinnati. They agreed to start no Inning after 10:30 p.m. (est) to let the Cubs catch a train. The 10th and its subsequent four-run rally for Chicago, started at 10:27. Chicago almost won it In regu lation time but Connie Ryan hit a dramatic last of the ninth homer with two out and a 3-2 count. Bob Rush was the winner, a complete game, over reliefer Howie Fox. RIDES ANOTHER WINNER SEATTLE (IP) Eddie Burns, Phoenix, Ariz., took the riding lead at the Longacres race track yesterday by piloting No Peekln to victory in the six-furlong fea ture.

Friday, Aug. 17, 1951 Roseburg Indians Schedule Gridiron Training Session The peak of August starts many eyes straining toward the start of the football season in September. This year, in Roseburg, they were virtually popping from their sock ets. New football coach Bill Reder, pulling a trick from the Mcl In gram hat, announced Wednesday that the Roseburg Indians would hold a football training camp this year. The football season gets under way Sept. 7 with a jamboree on FlnlaV field, but two weeks earlier 35 prime Roseburg high school prospects will accompany the new coach on a week's advance train ing course. Reder reported that the Young's Bay lumber company Davidson Meets Kiser Saturday In Armory Ring Buck Davidson, the Klamath Falls grapple who has long been absent from the local arena, will give Roseburg fans a demonstra tion of his ability when he meets popular Jack Kiser in Roseburg armory arena Saturday night. The old veteran Is anxious to get back in action again, and he will be out to prove that inactivity is no hindrance. If he finds the going tough. Buck may resort to rough tactics to convince the smooth Poftlander that he means business. But Kiser, who held Stricklanl to a draw in his last appearance, has plenty of speed and power. . Jack's brother, Dale, will meet the rugged old Armenian, Mike Nazarian, in the opening match. Though he has been battling big ger men with more experience, the fast-moving youngster has been holding his own. Good Match Slated Nazarian, who has been battling In Northwest rings for a long time, will be coming up against a grap pler who has been improving with every match. In fact. Dale has shown his older brother a few new holds. Frank Stojack, the current Pa cific Coast Junior light heavy weight champion, will have the fans backing him when he tangles wth the feared Russian, Soldat Gorky, in the main event This n a title bout and both men will be resorting to their favorite holds Gorky his "wolfleap" and Sto jack his airplane spin and giant swings. Gorky thinks this will be his lucky night. He has. held Stojack to draws twice and believes he can clobber him this time to even the score and take the championship belt. Stojack has been Inactive for a while, but the former Washington State college athlete is usually in fine condition. His backers claim that he can whip the Russian any time and are anxious to see him do Ringside seats are available at Powells, and fans are advised to get them early. PITCHINO WAY BACK FORT WORTH, Tex. UP) Bill McCahan is doing his utmost to get another crack at the major leagues. Back in 1947 McCahan hurled a 3-0 no-hlt for the Philadel phia A's game against the Wash ington senators. But soon after wards he developed arm trouble and moved back to the minors. Now with the Fort Worth Cats, a Dodger farm in the Texas League, Bill is the team's most consistent winner. He had a 10-4 record after the first week in July.

Hold Daily Talks During the week, the intense eyed coach will hold three daily chalk talks and two daily prac tices. Citing the case of the Grants Pass team, Reder said it will shorten the time of reaching mid season form by three weeks. Reder said the facilities offered are ideal. There are seven Individ ual cabins, showers and elec tricity. It was noted that local busi ness houses fell immediately in behind the plan. Standard Oil Co. offered fuel and gas; the Proflame company offered refrigeration service and Roseburg Fuel O i 1 service promised to give stove and furnace service. Further investigation revealed the nature of financing the pro gram. Four days ago letters were sent to 80 local citizens asking for 20 dollar contributions. They be gan, "You can help materially in building a better Roseburg foot ball team." Develop Good Team The letter stated that the con tribution would bring about two benefits. First, the satisfaction of taking part in ''developing a first class football team." Second, a choice of "preferred seats in the grandstand at regular prices." It was reported by one spokesman of the drive that the re action to the letters has been pleasing. More precisely, 23 posi tive answers have been received, he said. He reported that con tributors will become members of an exclusive group to be called the "20 Buck Club." The drive will be open once a year and no members will be accepted between ; drives. The 1951 campaign wul be closed out next weekend. It was announced that anyone wishing to join the club should contact Mayor Albert G. Flegel or Reder.

The Melrose team plays the Jun ior chambe6)r of commerce on Vet erans field at 6:30 tonight. The forfeit cry was set off on the Melrose bench when Faith Luth eran appeared on the field with only eight men. The regular catcher, Charles Clarke, was miss ing. The Melrose squad contended that since this was a champion ship playoff game, the regular sea son rule allowing a "pick up" player from the sidelines did not apply. The Faith Lutheran squad failed to force the issue and finally agreed that Melrose would be awarded the game. When the decision was made, the two teams played a seven-inning contest with nothing at stake. Sid Domenico was added as the Faith Lutheran catcher. The tilt ended in a 1-1 deadlock with each team collecting only four hits. Melrose drew an earned run In the second when Bill Reder singled and Ted Reece brought him in wtih a triple. Faith Lutheran evened the score -in the sixth when Samuelson walked, took second and third on fielder's choices and came in on Domenico's single.

Chiefs Schedule Last Road Game The Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs take their regular season road trip this Sunday afternoon to face Myrtle Creek. Although the helpless Myrtle Creek taam has only managed one win in Southwestern Oregon league play this year, it was no push over for Roseburg in their first meeting. The league ' doormats fought the Chiefs on even terms for nine innings only to see the Roseburg crew score the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. It might be considered a fluke run since the Myrtle Creek right fielder lost a high fly in the sun that should have been a sure third out. A Roseburg win this time is almost necessary to keep the Chiefs in the running for a Shaughnessy playoff berth. The locals are now at the tag end of the first division with just a half game margin over Coquille and Brookings. Other games in the conference find Medford at Brookings, Bandon at North Bend and Reedsport at Coquille. HOPE OF NORTHWEST DURHAM, N. C.
