seventh straight dual match vie

The defending state prep cham
nlons picked up three singles vie
lories, then added a doubles win
as the Indians downed the Duck
lings 4-2. The second doubles bout
was called because of darkness
with both pairs having won a set.
However, the four match points
recorded by the Indians was
enough to insure them the victory

Victories Tomorrow
Drain's Warriors will be out to
Improve on their 2-2 Kmerald
League mark Friday when they
host the Junction City Tigers in a
conference twin bill at 2 p.m.
The Warriors lost their league
openers to the Klmira Falcons,
then bounced back last week with
a double victory over tho Cres

turnees Jim Johnston, Bruce Kruse
Martin League and Kanny Cool.
Johnston is a senior with three
years of experience behind him
playing at second base and filling
in as a pitcher. Kruse is a one
year Iclterman at center field and
is another boy that is capable of
nannnng rcncr duties on the
mound.
Cox, a flashy left handed soph
omore, lettered his freshman year
lor ine warriors and Is expected
to he the mainstay of the Warrior
mound crew this year. Displaying
a varied assortment of hooks the
spunky little left bander pitched
the Drain American Junior team
to the slate championship with a
no-hitter in the final game last
summer.
Cox will work behind the plate
for the Warriors, a position he
has held down for the last two
seasons. As a sophomore last year
the husky backstop was a member
of the Emerald League all-star
team.
Mike Blnmberg and Dennis Chris

male John Shaw to win the state
doublet title.
Sohn Brilliant
Displaying a brilliant game How
ard Sohn moved the local court
stars out in front 3-0 as he han
dled the Ducklings number three
ace, Doug Wyant. Sohn's accuracy
from all over the court was more
than Wyant could cope with as
the Roseburg ace swept the match
in successive sets by 6 2 and 6 3
counts. Wyant comes to the Uni
versity of Oregon from Springfield
High School where he was a mem
ber of the 10.18 squad that tied
with Klamath Falls for the stale
championship.
John Ehrhart, another California
ace competing for the Ducklings,
was the first winner for the visitors
as he outstroked Tom Kirk. How
ever, Kirk forced Ehrhart to go
the distance for his win as the
scrappy Roseburg star won the
second set 7 5. Ehrhart won the
opening set on a close 6 4 decis
ion, then roared to a 6 0 victory
in the decider. Kirk, suffering
from a cold, could not keep the
pace set by the Oregon star as he
fell before the smashing blows of
Ehrhart.
Sophomore Don Harris com
peted as the number five singles
player for the Indians and fell be
fore Mike Flinn of the Ducklings.
Flinn was forced to take the final
two sets as Harris was a 6-4 vic
tor in the opening action. Flinn
came back strong as he downed
Ihe rapidly tiring youngster 64
and 6-2 to narrow Roseburc's lead
to one point in the match.

Major League Preview
LA Dodgers, Giants Both
Win Over Pennsy Clubs
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If there was one phase of base
ball which Manager Gene Mauch
stressed with his young Philadel
phia Phillies in spring training,
it was base running. "Mistakes
cost you games," he said, "and
most of the mistakes our kids
make are on bases."
The point was diven home at
I.os Angeles Wednesday night as
the Phillies ran themselves into a
weird doubleDlav that squelched a
ninth inning rally and gave the
Dodgers a 3-2 victory while leav
ing the Phils wiser but winless.
It was one of but two games play
ed in the majors. The San Fran
cisco Giants also survived a ninth
inning threat and beat Pittsburgh
2-1 in the only other game sched
uled in the National League. Two
games were scheduled in the Amer

Moon Homart
The Phils' folly came after the
Dodgers had broken through
against Frank Sullivan, making
his NL debut, with three runs in
the seventh on Wally Moon's hom
er and a scratch single by winning
pitcher Johnny Podrcs.
Trailing 3-1, the Phils got rid
of Padres when Johhny Callison
and Tony Taylor opened the" ninth
with singles. Callison took third
when rookie Willie Davis bobled
Taylor's hit to center and scored
on a high bouncer to the left of
the mound by pinch-hitter Tony
Curry. Taylor scooted to third on
the play when reliever Larry
Sherry's peg to the plate was wild.
Pinch-hitter Tony Gonzales forc
ed Curry for the first out, but the
Phils were still in business, with
runners on third and first as pinch
hitter Bob Sadowski came to
the plate. That's when the Phils'
booboos popped up and an alert
Dodger defense shot 'em down.
Wierd One
Taylor broke for the plate with
the tying run on Sadowski's ground
er to short, but was caught be
tween third and home when Maury
Wills threw to catcher John Rose
boro. Roseboro made the tag on
Taylor, after pairing with third
baseman Junior Gilliam for the
run-down, and then flipped back
to Gilliam, who nailed Gonzales
as he attempted to go from second
to third, for the game-ending dou
bleplay. Tom Haller made his first
major league hit a seventh-inning
homer that broke up a four-hit
shutout against the Giants by
Vern Law. It came after Robert
Clemente dropped Hallcr's foul fly
to right. The Bucs' 20-game winner
of last year's pennant club then
forced in the clincher when he hit
Orlando Cepeda with a pitch with
the bases loaded in the eighth.
The Pirates, who scored in the
sixth off winner Billy Loes had
two on with two out in the ninth
when rookie reliever Jim Duffalo
got Clemente to hit into a force
out.
