continuously sent out cheers, in unison of
PITS....PITS.....PITS! However their
rally fell short, but never their will to
win.
The ALL-GHETTO tournament was
just that, it seems that all the Ghetto
residents were in Peninsular Park to
cheer for their favorite team. Geneva's,
this year's tourney winner, will receive
the championship trophy but must win 3
years consecutively to keep it perman­
ently.
.
The ALLrGHETTO tourney is truly a
success and you can bet when they throw
the first pitch in next years tourney, I
will surely be in the stands.

Timber comeback fizzles
by Brad Small
The Portland Timber's comeback try
fell short a» they lost two out of three
games in a six day span. They fell victim
to San Jo** and Loa Angele», and defeat­
ed Boston last Wednesday at Civic Stadi
um.
.
The 2 0 defeat of Boston came on goals
from Hank Liotart and John Rogers. Lio-
tart's goal, his first in four year», waa a
right footed blast from the 36 goal line.
Rogers’ goal came when he took the ball
after it w a. fumbled by the Boaton goalie.
He then walked toward the goal and
kicked the ball in.
On Saturday the Timber» loot in San
jose, 3-0. Portland played horribly and
deserved the loss.
Monday's game against Los Angeles
was a different story. The Timbers dom­
inated moat of the game, but lost 2 1.
1 ney out shot L.A. by a margin of 18-5. It
was similar to several earlier Timber
games, many shots, but no scoring.
L.A. goalie. Bill Mishalow played an
incredible game. He made a couple of
impossible saves, and was constantly
pulling down Timber passes.
The Aztecs scored first, on a header by
Ron Davies. The play started on a George
Best's corner kick. The ball crossed the
goal and two Aztecs, Davies and Charlie
Cooke, went up for the ball. Cooke missed
the ball, but Davies leaped over him and
headed it in. Portland goalie. Jim
Cumbes, was apparently confused on the
play as he did not react until the ball was

Portland scored two minutes later
when reactivated forward Malcolm
Smith scored on a play similar to the one
in which Los Angeles scored.
The Aztecs got the game winner nine
minutes later when John Mason broke
away from the Portland defense and
scored.
There were several great individual
performances in the game. L.A.’s much
heralded striker George Best was very
impresssive, as were his teammates
Charlie Cooke and Jorge Sorgic. For
Portland it was Rogers and defender Pat
McMahon who stood out.
The Timbers are on the road this
weekend. They return July 18th against
Vancouver.
