The tourney started Thurs-! day night and will continue until Monday, August 19. Drain will meet McMinnville in the first game that will mark the third time this season that the two teams have met. Drain won both previous games and will be out to make it three in a row. For the important tourney in which Drain, along with The Dalles, are one of the upstate favorites, coach Ray Stratton has one of five different pitchers he can draw from. Heading the mound staff for Drain is Stan Dmosehowsky, all Northern Division pitcher from the University of Oregon last sea son and currently holding a 7-2 record this season. A new pitcher just acquired is Jack Henkle, who sports a 2-0 record and is the only undefeated pitcher on the team. Stratton has also picked up a fifth pitcher by the name of Jer ry Bartow to help with the mound duties. Noel Aronson (2-1) and Jerry Pflug (1-1) are others. Leading the team at the plate after the first 16 games is Strat ton with a healthy .382 average followed by Wimp Hastings with a .355 average. Ron Bowen is just below the .300 mark with a .294 average, but leads the club in home runs with five. Craig has two homers to rate as the only other member of the team with more than one. On Saturday night the Black Sox will be at The Dalles for a doubleheader starling at 8 p.m. in a tuneup game for the tourney. In an earlier meeting between the two clubs, The Dalles won both ends of a doubleheader to give Drain two of their four losses of the year.

New District Athletic Director Lome (Dutch) Simons was back in town Wednesday evening and new football coach Brad Ecklund was expected to set up his home here Sunday. High School Princi pal Harry Jacoby was reported to have arrived back in Roseburg last Saturday and Supt. Mike Dcl ler is expected back next Mon day. One of the first decisions facing the group will be a decision on any further changes in the Rose hurg athletic coaching setup for the rest of the school year. Simons and Ecklund were both hired dur ing the summer and it has been uncertain whether any other changes were in the making since the other coaching positions had been originally based on hiring done before the recent additions. It is known that the schoolmen are presently considering an ap plication by Jake Leicht, local busi nessman and former University of Oregon track and football star, for the head track and backfield coaching positions.
