The last-piace Spo kane Indians, usually the victims of "big" innings, finally had one of their own and crushed Tri-City 16-10. Lewiston was idle. Nap Gulley's grand-slam homer was the big blow of Spokane's "big" eighth as the Indians sur prised Tri-City. The grand-slammer came after Spokane had scored three runs on a hit bats man, four bases on bills and a single. The game was a marathon running 3 hours, 26 minutes to the final putout. Seven pitchers, three for Spokane and four for Tri-City, yielded a total of 26 hits and walked 26 men. Once again Rosebur? bowlers showed the way in to.irnamenl play. At the Brookings set-to, Moose Lodge copped second and Fair haven Cleaners third in team event; Don Nye and Ed Davis had third in doubles; and Jack Hay man 16th in singles and 7th in all events. Only tourname.it left in whuah local men will vie is the final weekend at Albany , At that time Roseburg Alleys, Sun Studs Land the Hardtoppers wL'l compete, along with such otner nationally known teams as Sandy's Kcglers, Timber Structures and Stroh Beer from Detroit. Local yokels have now drifted into the usual summer schedule, with mixed doubles Tuesday nights and mens' doubles Thursday nights. Several "feeds" for winning teams have been greatly relished, and there may be more. But the social event of most importance at the moment is the "Sonsor's Banquet tonight at Cans Haven, in which Industrial league teams will entertain their sponsors. A very nice gesture, we calls it, and one which we would like ' to see other leagues emulate next year. Now for some figures which we promised would surprise you. At the State tournament at Coos Bay, Roseburg led in cash prizes with 77 places, totaling $2,027.39. Portland was second with more prizes, (88), but less cash, $1,893.19. Coos Bay should have been in either first or second, but had to settle for third, with a total of 39 places aggregat ing only $884.60. Portland's 88 places to Roseburg's 77 is account ed for by the fact that the Rose City had a number of places in Class "A", in which wi had no prizes. If we had the figures avail able and the time to break them down, we could show just as great surprises in the other, tou-namcnts. At least, we know Poseyvillc knocked off the bulk of the loot at Medford. We . have the "bowler of the year" nationally, add n.so at th state level. Now, we a.e goingto nominate Roseburg's 'bowler "of the year." None other than Jack Hayman, that is to say, among the bovs. Jack started Ujwling a year ago, and finished the season with a 122 average, and tnood this season with a mighty creditable- 170, a 48 in umn. He has ended "in the money" in every tourna ment, and is plenty high In most of them. Lady Bowler of the year for Roseburg could be none other than Nita Nichols, who carries an aver age above 80 per cent of ihe men and has keot the name of our fair village in the headlines in all the tournaments she has graced, The runways are too slick. The propietor is a (Republican) (Dem ocrat) (Ed. note: check one). So the noor secretary, in lesperation gives in' and says, "OK, .Mac, I'll see what I can do." After which he takes something: for his ulcers. If he fails to get the standings sheet ' up in time, he's not only a lousv secretary, but he's dead from the neck both ways. But somehow, secretaries have learn ed how to take it. They h'.ve prov ed that, just as there can be no leagues without bowlers, Uiere can be no well organized circuits with out secretaries, cither lousy or otherwise. (End of Quotation). Ta all of the above we can certify from ac tual experience. But in sp te of all that, we like it, and are glad to serve you. We even thanK you for giving us the opportunity. And beginning right th.s minute, vour secretary is goini to take himself a vacation. "Pocket Spits" will appear again scme'.ime along m August, it tne t.ai'.w oi the News-Review will again allow us a corner in his popular sport page. And to the readers, good luck, a good vacation, good fishing, golf ing, or whatever you do in me good old summer time, and be sure to dig the old bowling ball out ol the mothballs next September.

And now we arc goinj; lo end this piece with some quotes from an article by Sam Levine, in "300" Magazine, entitled "Pity the Poor Secretary. The hardest working man or woman in any bowling league is the secretary. He's (or she's) the guy who does all the work, gets all the headaches, ami all the bowlers' complaints, gripes and squawks. When a question of rules comes up, the kelcrs -ush to the secretary. If a team is late, the other team charges to the secr tary demanding a forfeit. If a team wants a postponement, the captain consults the secretary, who has to put up a big fat argument why there shouldn't ne a postponement, (which doubles the work of the secretary though he doesn't men tion that). If a bowler figures the secretary has robbed him of a pin in the averages he hounds him, till the poor guy digs up all the score sheets for the entire season, and proves to ihe griper that he had only 423 instead of 432 back in October. If a team wins too many in a row, the secretary is urged to "break up that team. Those bums are just too touli for this league." In a game of unearned runs, Roseburg's Timbcrjilis softball team dropped a 4-2 decision to Oakridge Sunday afternoon . at Schemer Softball Field. The local girl softballcrs com mitted six misplays and were kept in cheek most of the way by two fast - balling Oakridge pitchers. They, were outhit 4-2. Rosebiu-g pitcher Margaret Bliz ard struck out five and walked none, but faulty fielding behmd her set up Oakridge scoring. The winners' tallied once in the second and three times in the fourth in ning.
