    Chiefs To Play
Rival Black Sox
The Roseburu Chief close the
books on the exciting 1952 South
western Oregon League schedule
this weekend.
The last scheduled home game
Saturday night at g finds the Chiefs
continuing an inter-county rivalry
when they host the powerful
Drain Black Sox. The other half of
the two-game weekend scries goes
to the Drain park Sunday after
noon where the two teams finish
out the brilliant SWO League reg
ular season.
It should be a smashing climax
for the two teams although the
League-leading Black Sox wtll
reign as favorites in the tilt. The
Sox gain their favorite's role on the
strength of a sensational season
record of 29 wins and only six
losses. In the League, they have
won 17 and lost only five.
Top Men Ltove
The Chiefs, who hit several
snags during a hectic season, have
won H and lost 22. In the League,
they have won 10 and lost 12.
The records of the two teams
arc reflections of two different phil
osophies for semi-pro organiza
tion. Here at Roscburg, Manager
Earl Sargent built a crack team
out of youngsters on their way up,
but he picked his talent too well
because four of the top youngsters
made the Chief wigwam only a
watering stop.
Just when the Chiefs started to
roll, Dave Mann went to the Oak
land Acorns and Bob Bonebrake
returned to the Brooklyn DodgiT
farm system at Great Falls, Mont.
This bitter pill was followed short
ly by the farewells of Krnie Velas
quez and Dwane Helbig. This
brought the Chiefs to i complete
halt. ,
Best Batters
Meanwhile, a bigger budget at
Drain turned the Black Sox into a
scmi-retirinj; pasture for Portland
Beavers and other professional
leagues. The nucleus of the strong
aggregation was Manager Roy llel
ser, one of Portland's greatest hurl
ers. With him came Bill Beard, a
power-hitting catcher and Harvey
Storey, a third baseman with I
dynamite bat.
The Sox have seven batters clip
ping along at .300 or better pace.
Here's the way the batters stack
up. Storey leads the League with
a .421 average. Don Kawcctt is
next with a .391 average. In order
the rest of the murderer's row is:
Bill Beard (.350), Norvall Ritchey
(346), Don Kirsch (.320). Ron Phil
lips (.305) and Pat Wohlers (.301).
The Sox have probably the best
left handed hurling team in Ore
gon with Helscr and his protege,
Jerry Cade. During the season,
both have won 11 games and lost
only two. They set plenty of back
ing from Gene Peterson of Silver
ton, who has won five games with
out a loss, Mel Krause and new
addition Aldon Wilkic. Wilkle was
recently picked up by the Sox after
he was released by Coquillc. He
had a no-hitter for the Logger;
against the Heale's Bubrj of Port
land. It was the only no-hit, m
run contest posted by a SWO
League team.
New Power
In spite of this overwhelming dis
play of power, the game is still
unpredictable and the Chiefs arc
no pushovers as they proved last
weekend. They can boast a victory
over the Coos Bay-North Bend
Lumberjacks, a point which rank
les in the Drain camp. Four of
Drain's losses were suffered at the
hands of the "Jacks. They have
lost every battle to the coast nine.
A fine battery of Wally Beamcr
and Jack Warren was a major

Fishing Good
At Winchester
Reports received from Winches
ter Bay this week carry fishing
enticements, but with the report
comes a warning. ,
Based on figures compiled by
State Game Commission Field Ag
ents Ralph Grenfell and Robert
Phillips, the report shows a mini
mum tnlal catch in the Winchester
area of 840 salmon last week.
According to tabulations, at
least 103 skiffs brought in 459
salmon, and 33 charter boat trios
netted 381 salmon.
The warning regarded life pre
servers. Card Safley, harbor man
ager, in discussing harbor prob
lems cited the prevalence of mis
leading life preservers and jack
ets bearing the words "U.S. gov
ernment approved stamp." This
approval stamp is misleading,
according to Safley and Coast
Guard officials. The preservers
and jackets are not approved un
less they carry the U.S. Coast
Guard approved number. If this
number is not on the article, it is
not approved and use may sub
ject the user to citation and pen
alties, Safley said.

Archery Tournament Here
Will Be Prelude To Hunt
The Pope-Young archery tourn
ament which Roscburg and the
Umpqua Bowmen host at the Win
chester Rod and Gun Club grounds
this month-end is more than just
a test of bow-and-arrow skill.
It is a primer for the opening
of archery hunting season.
Jo Redfield. publicity director
for the Pope-Young Field Archers,
reports that almost 2,000 archery
hunting permits were issued by
the Oregon State Game Commis
sion in 1951. This tournament is a
test for these bow hunters and a
host of prospective hunters. The
annual Pope-Young tourney gives
these bowmen needed hunting
practice before the archery hunt
ing season opens in mid-Seplcm-ber.
The Pope-Young round is the
central attraction and one of the
three championship events. It will
consist of a minimum of 50 arrows
which will be fired at the same
number of animal and bird tar
gets. These targets are currently
being made as life-sized and ade
quately colored as possible. Scor
ing areas are marked on these
animals and birds coinciding with
the vital and wound spots.
This event is combined with the
wand shoot and the clout shoot
for aggregate scoring in divisions
for men, women and children.
The highest aggregate pegs its
holder as the champion for 19"i2.
The wand event consists of a four-
inch stake with two-inch black
stripes six inches long superimpos
ed on them. The shooter scores
by hitting the black stripe from
100 yards.
The clout shoot consists of a
60-inch circle target placed hori
zontally as the center of a sreat
circle shooting line 180-yards in
radius. These dimensions are only
for men shooters. Women's evenls
will find dimensions considerably
shortened.
The Pope-Young Tournament
so serves as a king-size get-together.
It lasts three days from

Double No-Hit
Game Recorded
BATAVIA. N. Y., I One nf
baseball's rarest feats a double
no-hit game ws turned in by
two Class D Pony League pitchers
Wednesday night with Bradford
defeating Batavia 10.

phia Phillies farmhand, gained the
decision over Jim Mitchell as
Bradford put together a walk,
sacrifice, wild pitch and an in
field out for the lone run in the
eighth inning.
Etchberger fanned six and
walked five. The 19-year old
Mitchell struck out five and passed

Luke Easter

To Cleveland
By Th Associated Press
Ever since Luke Easter became
a regular on the Cleveland Indians
it has been said, "as Easter goes
so go the Indians."
Cleveland's pennant hopes have
waxed and waned the past two
seasons with the rise or decline
of Easter's fortunes at the plate.
A trick kne; more than lack nf
punch in the clutch has been re
sponsible for Easter's failure to
deliver the goods in the past.
Big Luke is hot right now and
so are the Indians.
Cleveland, with Easter playing
a leading role, swamped the Bos

By The Associated Prosi
The Seattle Rainiert turned in
their first Pacific Coast League
victory in six games Wednesday
night, while the Portland Beavers
received their first setback in as
many starts.
Cagy Steve Nagy exercised
plenty of southpaw wizardry as he
twirled Seattle to a 5-1 decision
over Oakland and dropped the Oaks
a fult game behind Hollywood.
Nagy limited the heavy hitting
Acorns to five blows, while the,
Maimers drove Al Gene! out in the
seventh.
Nagy bashed in the first Seattle
run with a bases loaded single in
the fifth, and Seattle sewed up the
game in the seventh on a hit bats
man, a walk, a double by Nanny
Fernandez and a squeeze bunt by
Bob Boyd.
Nagy now has beaten the Oaks
five times in six starts against
them this season.
Los Angeles snapped out of a
slumn that had seen them win only

Hatten had remarkable control
for a portsider. He didn't get be

eighth, walked his first man in
that inning, and then in the ninth
almost lost his control completely.
