With old model cars re juvenated, drivers do their best to plow other ears in the derby out of action. They can use every method but bead-on collisions.

Since most of the cars are not built for speed, a driver must know how hard he can push the car, how he can take the turns and most of all when he can take chances safely if such a condition exists. More Cars Expected Already 15 cars have been signed up from the local area. Many more are expected from here as well as from Portland, which will draw many professional driv ers.

Chiefs, Bandon Meet Saturday The first of the two big games gets underway Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. on Finlay field. For the Umpqua Chiefs, it's door-die when they meet Bandon in the postponed forfeit which will start in the fifth inning. The game was not to be made up unless a playoff position was at stake, and that's just the situation that arose. The Chiefs are currently in fifth place, just half a game behind Coqullle. To make a playoff po sition, the Chiefs have to oust the Loggers. The Loggers have a tnughie with Mcdford Sunday when the Chiefs play Reedsport. If the Chiefs win both the Sat urday and Sunday game and Co quille drops it's tilt with Medford, the Chiefs are in. If the Chiefs spolit the weekend series and Co quille loses, the two teams will be tied and a sudden death play off will be in the offing. A double loss by the Chiefs in any case would boot them out of the run ning. Because of Its prime import ance, Chief Manager Bun Kclsay will hurl Bus Sporer against the third place team Saturday night. When the game starts, he will be on third as he was when the dis puted play took place. OPENING BOUT DALI KISER vs. JACK CARTER DOUBLE MAIN EVENT SOLDAT GORKY vi. BUCK DAVIDSON GORDON HESSELL vs. DANNO McDONALD First Match Starts 8:45 P.M. 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Frl Aug. 24, In First Of Series By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians, streak ing three games ahead in the bris tling American league pennant fight, are in an excellent posi tion today to smash the New York Yankees' hopes of a third straight flag. Manager Al Lopez' fighting gang have the proud Yankees on the ropes and set up for the kill. The Indians moved three games ahead of New York yesterday as Bob Lemon turned back the Yanks, 2-1, in the opener of a vi tal three game series. Early Wynn (14-11), a tough guy when the chips are on the line, will go against the Yanks tonight before an expected capacity crowd in Cleveland's Municipal stadium. The Yanks, with their backs to the wall, are gambling on Stubby Ovcrmire (2-7) to pitch them back into the scrap. For the finale on Saturday Lopez has Mike Garcia ( 17-8) ready to meet Ed Lopat (16-7), slow balling lefthander who has not been sharp of late. Lopat, however, has been a thron in the side of the Indians for years, boasting a 31-8 life time record against Cleveland. Overmirg Chosen Yankee Manager Casey Stengel selected Overmiie for the impor tant second game because both of his previous choices, Allie Reyn olds and Bob Kuzava, are afflicted with injuries. Ovcrmire, a little lefthander, has made only three starts for the Yanks since his ac quisition from the St. Louis Browns in June and has gone the distance only once. The Yanks must win the next two games in order to stay in the running. A sweep by the Indians will boost their lead to five games and the way the Tribe has been roaring along that would just about seal it up. Lemon permitled only three hits in out-pitching Vic Raschi yester day in a game that was highlighted by a near fist fight in the sev enth inning between Bob Avila of the Indians and Gene Woodling of the Yanks. The Yanks scored first in the third when Han Bauer stole home on the front end of a double steal. The Indians tied the score In tne fourth on a walk to Dale Mitchell and singles by Avila and Harry Simpson. Mitchell doubled home WRESTLING SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE ARMORY BS2&aStsBaVaaU 1951 Nips Yanks Jim Hegan with the winning run in th fifth. No Blows Struck Avila and Woodling tangled when the Yank outfielder plowed into the little Tribe second base man in a successful attempt to break up a double play. The two were separated before any blows were struck and allowed to re main in the game. The victory was Lemon's 15th and his sixth straight. The t r i umph also was the Indians' 16th consecutive win at home and their 19th in their last 23 starts. In other American league games the Philadelphia Athletics de feated the Chicago White Sox, 6-3, the Boston Red Sox humbled the St. Louis Browns, 9-3 and the Washington Senators humiliated the Detroit Tigers, 10-0. The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Brook lyn Dodgers, 4-2, in the only Na tional league game. Dick Fowler, with help from Carl Scheib, pitched the A's to their third straight victory over Chicago. The A's wrapped it up with three runs in the first in ning against Randy Gumpcrt. Mel Parnell coasted to his 15th victory as the Red Sox downed I the Browns. Parnell chipped in wiin lour singles to neip ins uwn cause. The Senators whacked out 14 hits while Bob Porterfield blanked the Tigers on four singles. The Sena tors clinched the game with six runs in the sixth inning. Lefty Max Lanier scattered seven hits in beating the Dodgers to end a 14-game Cardinal losing streak at the hands of ghe Brooks. Roy Campanella belted his 27th homer for the Dodgers in the ninth.

They whipped the Pacific Coast league - leading Seattle Rainiers last night, 7 to 5. It was the first game in a series of six. The vic tory left the Stars five games be hind, with five to go. Each has 19 left on the schedule. It was a county fair ball game, with nine pitchers seeing action and 20 hits rattling through the in field and up against the fences. George Schmees, Hollywood's big rightfielder, provided the dif ference in batting punch between the teams. He clouted a homer, his 26th, over a sign 360 feet from home plate, with Gene Handley on base in the third inning, and his triple with Chuck Stevens aboard in the seventh scored the winning tally. Both Use Strategy Managers Rogers Hornsby of Se attle and Fred Haney of Holly wood engaged in a battle of strat egy in the last of the sixth. Dino Restelli opened up with a single against Steve Nagy and Frank Kelleher doubled into Seattle's bullpen. Eddie Malone was sent in by Haney to bat for catcher Mike Sandlock. Hornsby ordered him walked to get at pitcher Gordon Maltzberger. Haney inserted Mur phy Franklin as a pinch batter for Maltzberger. Hornsby thereupon yanked Nagy, a southpaw, in fa vor of right-handed Paul Calvert, against right-handed Franklin. The strategy backfired on the Rainiers when Calvert couldn't lo cate the plate and walked Frank lin on four straight balls, forcing in Restelli with a run.
