THURSDAY. AUGUST 31. 1950 BRCOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS. OREGON Pelicans Rout Ashland, 17 to 4, Sunday, And Chance To Meet Central Pointers Brookings Pelicans, who tied with Ashland for third spot in Rogue Valley League standings, Sunday, blasted Ashland 17 to 4, to win the right to play Central Point, next Sunday, for top honors. With the Pelican bats aiming for the walls, Ashland had little op portunity to gain a high spot, for Jim Barrett hit a four-ply smash with the bases loaded, and Jollie tried to match him, but had only two Pelicans aboard at the time. These two hits accounts for sufficient runs to win the game for the run-hungry Pelicans.
