The Giants suffered a staggering blow to their faint hopes when Ciocy routed Jim Hearn in a three run eighth inning. The defeat left the Giants six games behind Brooklyn in the loss column. Kenny Raffeasberger, lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth chalked ud his 15th win at Hearn's expense. The Reds had 12 hits to four for New York and left 15 on base. Ewell Blackwell finished up for Kallensberger. it was cincy s fifth win in 22 games with New York.

Chicago Grappler Meets Glen Knox In Semi-Final Tilt Glen "Baldy" Knox will appear in the Roseburg armory Saturday night to Wangle with Carl Eng strom in the semi-final wrestling bout. Engstrom, the former Chicago dancer, applied his airplane spin to Frenchy Roy last week and left the Pacific Coast light heavy weight champion in a daze he couldn't shake off. But most fans believe he will meet his match this week. Knox, a tough grappler from West Virginia, is slightly larger than Engstrom and employs a "backbreaker" hold that leaves his opponents in a knot. However, Engstrom isn't worried. He iay he has met a lot of big boys while in Chicago and usually came out victorious. In the main event, Danno Mc Donald, still spoiling for revenge, meets Jack O'Reilly for the third week. Two weeks ago the Aussie was .given decision over the little Scotsman even though he was unable to return for the final fall. Protests Decision McDonald protested to the Rose burg Wrestling commission and wanted the verdict reversed, but no action was taken. Last week the commission interfered and gave McDonald and Gordon Hes sell a decision over O'Reilly and Jack Carter after the boys from down under had played rough. The referee didn't see the dirty work and rendered an unfair de cision. . Matchmaker Elton Owen pre dicts that this will be one of the roughest matches seen in Rose burg. McDonald will be trying to score with his punishing drop kicks, and O'Reilly will be relying on hammerlocks and leg splits. Con Bruno, the Greek who has been a crowd pleaser on the coast for a long time, will meet Kenny been after a match with Champion Mayne in the opener. Bruno has Frank Stojack, and he will be out for another win. His opponent is a stylist from Utah who knows what to do when he enters the ring. Tickets are on sale at Powells. CHIEFS SLATE DINNER The Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs will hold their annual post-season baseball dinner at the Shalimar room Sunday evening, Sept. 19. Dick Jones of Duquesne, Pa., is the lightest player on the Brandeis football team. He weighs only 160 pounds. Frick Signs Long Contract As Official By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO P Ford Frick with dramatic assist of sportsman ship from Warren Giles, today is baseball's new commissioner. Giles late last night th'.w his full support behind the Natioil league president to break a dead lock of club owners and wing spouts' biggest job to the gray, lean, 56-year-old Frick. Frick was given a seven-year contract at an annual salary of $65,000, about $25,000 more than he received as head of the senior circuit. Frick ia baseball's third com missioner. He succeeds A. B. (Happy) Chandler, who resigned last July 15 after the club owners had refused to vote him a new contract. Until Giles, the courtly, white haired president of the Cincnnati Keds made his unparalleled ges ture, the 16 major league mag nates had wrangled almost 11 hours in a vain attempt to get the required majority of 12 votes. List Trimmed In the first hour of their ses sion, they had trimmed the list to Giles and Frick. But from then on they were stymied, and probably still would be today if Giles had not made his surprise move. Like a hung jury, the owners cast ballot after ballot approxi mately 20 in all but never did either candidate collect more than 10 votes. After Giles appeared before the owners and withdrew his name, the following vote was 14-2 for Frick. Then the Concinnati execu tive made a motion that a final ballot be taken and that it be unanimous. That is how Frick climaxing a varied career running from newspaperman, assistant English professor and radio commentator to the National league presidency in 1934 obtained the full 16 votes. Giles said he did what he thought best for the interest of baseball "the closest thing to my heart." Chandler in 1945 succeeded the late Judge Kenesaw mountain Lan dis who had .served as baseball's first commissioner since 1921 fol lowing the Black Sox scandal. Upon the death of Landis, there was a movement toward Frick as his successor. At that time, Giles was reported ready to become president of the National league should Frick be named. Although this maneuver was de toured by the selection of Chan dler, the way may now be cleared for it. Grid District Changed In Willamette Vicinity The Willamette district, formerly designated district 6-A-l under the 1951 redistricting program, has been renumbered. Containing Roseburg, Cottage Grove, Marshfield, North Bend, Springfield -and Eugene, it w a s changed to district 5-A-2, accord ing to the newest report from the Oregon School Activities associa tion. No other leagues in which Doug las county teams participate were mentioned for redesignation. Giants' Outfielder Plans To Start Political Career NEWARK, N. J. UP) Monte Irvin, the New York Giants hard hitting outfielder, will run for the New Jersey assembly on the Dem ocratic ticket in November, the Newark Star-Ledger said today. The newspaper said it had learned that Irvin, 30-year-old Ne gro athlete who lives in East Orange with his wife and two children, "enthusiastically" agreed to the proposal at a meeting last Sunday in Pittsburgh. Indians Pels Outweigh Roseburg Squad, Have Slight Edge The Roseburg Indians polished off a week of heavy defensive practices with light drills Thurs day afternoon and departed for Klamath Falls at 8 o'clock this morning. The 29-man traveling squad was the same as last week with the exception of two flew linemen, Ronald Sandstrom and Dave Ged des. Sandstrom is the new 217 pound tackle who turned out this Desbi'ani Will Start The starting offensive lineup re mained the same except for the left halfback spot. For the first time this season speedy John Pcs biens, who picked up 132 yards against Springfield, was given the starting nod. According to Coach Bill Reder, another change was possible at fullback. Jim McKln ney, the regular starter, hurt his ankle in the Springfield game and still carries a slight limp. If un able to start, he will be replaced by Don Wright, a senior transfer from The Dalles. As usual, the weight will defin itely be on the other side of the scrimmage line. The Pelican line averages in at 181 and the back field, 172-pounds per man. Rose burg's line is down to 168 and the backfield weighs in at a watch- charm 149 pounds per man; This gives the Pels a 14-pouna-per-man advantage in the line and a 21 pound difference per man in the backfield. Will Test Defense The Indians will get a real chance to test the success of the passing defense patterns which took most of this week's practices.
