Friday Night By SHIRLEY FLYNN A large ciowd of spectators wit nessed some superb driving skill at the Roseburg Speedway Friday night and for the first, time this season saw near collisions and no major mishaps. While there were no flip-overs i or crack-ups, there was still plenty of excitement as drivers pushed their throttles to the floorboard and drove at a furious pace to snare the coveted lead positions. the third heat provided an un usual finish. John Wilverding (6) moved into the lead on the first lap and maintained it to cross the checkered flag. Pushing him all (he way were Lyle Wescott (99), Jack McCoy (M2 Medford), and Whitey Dage (77). McCoy took the second spot from Wescott on the sixth Ian. Just a few feet before the finish line Wescott nudged McCoy, who spun 'about, but was close enough to spin across the flag in a reverse position to claim second place. Nearly nosing him out was Wescott with Dage right against his bumper. McCoy Start Again McCoy, winner of the A main last week, snared top honors again Friday. He took the lead from Wil verding on the ninth lap and held it. Jim Standley (22), Art Pollard (87) and Lou Donelan vied for third with Standley coming out on top. Wilverding held to' second. Tenth car in an 11-car pack was Leonard Kress (91) who moved into first place on the seventh lap of the o mam and started lapping the rear of the pack by the 13th lap be- tore roaring down tne nomesiretcn to top money. Jack Beavers (4) coming from the rear of the pack to rest in sec ond had the spot sewn up until the zoth lap when his motor heated. Beavers shifted into high gear hop ing to maintain his hold on second place and did until the blue flag lap when he was forced to pull into the pits. This let John Barron (37), who'd been closing the space be tween them fast, finish second Chuck Roberts (18 Cottage Grove) was third. Pollard Sirs Pace Standley took the A trophy and Barron the B trophy. Art Pollard clocked fast time for the evening with 17.77 seconds. McCoy of Med ford and Ray Lawrence of Cottage Grove have joined the local asso ciation and will be teen here often. Winning a Pitmen's Race of ten laps was Don llein (22). Placing second was Hal Walker (6) and third was Doug Moore (59). Don Partin (37) spun completely around as he crossed the checkered flag and narrowly missed a serious col lision.

In Wash ington, it's Eddie Yost who is as saulting Babe Ruth's record. Not the Babe s unequalled 60 home runs of 1927 but Ruth's 170 walks in 1923. No other ball player has receiv ed so many bases on balls. But Yost, Washington's third baseman, is a real threat. With 65 games to go, he's been passed 97 times. 'Portland' Dirty Word Around Seattle Baseball Fanatics By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE Wi There is one word around the Seattla Rainier baseball campus that is considered sbmewhat dirtier than others. They pronounce it "Portland." The Portland Beavers, to put it mildly, have treated the Rainiers with disrespect. The first time the two teams collided this year the Portlands clubbed the Seattles out of first place. Knocked 'em all the way down to third in the Coast League standings. When they met again with the Rainiers still third. Portland left them one full game farther from the lead. Back in front when they tangled again, Seattle dropped three straight but kept the No. 1 spot because Los Angeles was losing, too. Portland could only hold Seattle to a 2-2 split in their most recent series but softened up the Rainiers so tailend Vancouver could shellac 'em two out of three and Los An geles could lower the boom in three games out of four. From their roost in first place with a game and a half margin, Seattle skidded three games back. Is that any way to treat a cham pion? The chief spokesman for the firm of D. Soriano, Inc. (reason able rates on baseball and boat pilotage), had this to say about the Portland-Seattle situation: "Jinx? Phooey!" It was an opinion shared by Tommy Holmes, who lately man aged the Beavers. "We just seemed to get our game together against Seattle," he said. "Our ! pitching was at its peak and our team hitting was adequate.

That's the only way Friday night's North west League action can be ex plained. First the Wenatchee Chiefs blasted the Tri-City Braves 11-7, but the real highlight of the game came in the fifth inning when the Braves manager, Don Fries, but-' ted an umpire in the rear with his knee. To add the appropriate note to the evening's festivities, Wenatchee made five fielding err ors. Meanwhile Lewiston clubbed Eugene 10-3 to move into fifth place over the faltering Braves. Salem's match with Spokane was rained out. In the Wenatchee mismatch, the hometowners were behind 7-6 go ing into the fifth inning when the C'.iefs put on a five-run rally which included a triple steal which caused a Tri-City squabble. Umpire Russ Fisher called Herb Anderson safe on a steal at home plate as two other run ners advanced to engineer the multiple steal. Tri-City started haranguing the' umpire who turned his back on manager Pries and bent over to sweep off home plate. The temptation was too much for Pries who promptly kne?d Fisher in the rear. The umpire threw Pries out of the game. But the manager refused to leave and finally was led away by his play ers as the beef continued. Before it ended, Tommy Perez joined his manager in the showers.

Unhappily, when the Rain iers arrived at Multnomah Stadi um they found their hosts already had the range and the balls that went over the barrier were belted by Beavers.. "We," one ecstatic Portland fan yelled at Rainier boss Luke Sew ell, 'got the whammy on you."
