The last local appearance of the O.P.G. was In 1927 when the annual Ore gon open tournament was held over the local club course. Wendell Wood, Eugene Country club pro who arranged the sweep stakes more than a month ago, is confident the event will lead to ward the staging of one of the as sociation's major tournaments here in another year. The Eugene Active club has taken over the sponsorship of the event and will be In, charge of promotion and the sale of gallery tickets, at 80 cents each. Wood said Saturday that while the sweepstakes is scheduled as an 18-hole event, there Is a pos sibility and additional 18-hole pro-amateur tourney will be held in conjunction with the all-pro meet.

Fire Chief William "Billy" Nus baum commented tersely: "We wuz robbed." The chief bitterly revealed that the sterling fire laddies had been robbed by one who is supposed to protect the citizens of Eugene. He referred to Police Chief Carl F. "Robber" Bergman, who um pired the game. The coppers, however, were jubilant. They announced! "The firemen were completely swamped, 15 to 12." Questioned on the use of the word "swamped" they admitted that the game had been called on account of dark ness, and that Chief Bergman was the umpire. But they went Into ecstacies describing the work of "Speed ball" Jimmy Wilcox, on the mound for the officers. Chuck Lindsay, catcher, also was lauded. They hinted that Ray Hicks, pitcher for the fire laddies, was "knocked out of the box." Mid way through the game, they said, he was forced to retire and let Claude Bradway take over. One of the outstanding events of the game, according to the cops, was the "collision" of two firemen outfielders, as they scur ried for the ball. The possibilities of a re-match between the bitter rivals was con sidered very limited in city hall circles Sunday. It was rumored that Poliee Judge Cal Bryan might be called in as a sort of Impartial "Dean Landis." r v- I " rr : rrK V MsVSs,iS& f k -.-.a..iH--. p,,, , ,tfmm 4 I . 1. , ? . lf BIQ TIME TENNIS came to Eugene Friday when Wayne Sabin, high-ranking; United States Davis Cup player, defeated Larry Key of the University of Oregon, 6-0, 6-S in an exhibition match.

It will be a good many years after the war Is over before international play will be resumed on the scale that has existed in the past." Such was the opinion offered by Wayne Sabin. fifth-ranking amateur ten nis player In the United States last year, during his visit here Friday for an exhibition match. Sabin, who played on two Davis Cup teams and is a resident of Portland, said that international contests were important, not for the cups won, or the scores posted, but for the feeling of fraternity that they created between nations.

Rattan, who has defeated Ilaki on two previous occasions and lost a title engagement a few weeks ago, was willing to post a $250 wager on the outcome an offer Ilaki was willing to cover. Both the commission and Owen frowned on such a deal, however. "No one has to pay to get a cham pionship match in this country," Owen said, "and if Ilaki doesn't want to defend his title he can pack up and leave. We don't need him here, George Wagner, Otis Clingman and a number of other leading matmen are waiting for an opening here and would jump at the chance of taking Ilaki s spot.

"Bromwich , said Sabin "will never be numbered among the tennis greats, as so many sports experts predict It is not because his stylo is unorthodox but be cause he hasn't got what It takes. "The greatest living tennis play er today is Don Budge, the Calif ornia professional. 1 continued Sa bin. "There is no doubt that Jie stands heads and shoulders above the field. . There is neither an amateur or a professional living that can 'tough him. It would be hard to choose between the rest, Riggs, Quist, and Bromwlck are of nearly the same ability." The dread of all amateur fans that amateur tennis is being hurt by the rapid raise ot the profes sional game was discounted by Sa bin as a 'needless worry . "The amateur game is more popular to day than it has ever been," he said. Sabin gave as his reasons for the domination of west-coast players in 'big-time' tennis; more tournaments, more wide-spread public interest, and better all-year-around weather." Previous to the interview Sabin played an exhibition match with Larry Key, University of Oregon's number one man. Sabin won in two sets, 6-0, 6-3. Grade School Teams In Softball Tourney First and second-round games in the annual Lane county grade school softball tournament were played en various Eugene play ground fields Saturday morning and afternoon with the finals in the four different divisions slated to be played next Saturday. The games were conducted by Stanley Bonkowskl, Cliff Baxter, Lester Wheeler and W. R. Long.

The triumph gave Grant swan's Beavers their fifth victory as against Oregon's six wins and two deadlocks. Swans Baby Beavers comDlete- ly dominated the freshman relays held in conjunction with the var sity meet for the first time In his tory. Coach Ned Johns' Ducklings were outclassed in all five events, giving the Invaders a 5-0 triumph. Woodcock Leads Jumpers Neither the Oranaemen or Web- foots were over impressive with all running events far behind the existing records. The Oregon State high-jump team, however. managed to tie the mark of 23 feet, eight inches established by the Oregon State team of 1936. The Beavers record-tying per formance was led by Ed Wood cock who scaled the impressive height of six feet, five inches. The best race of the day, and naturally the most closely con tested, was the varsity 440-yard relay. Bob Deiz and Jim Buck gave the Webfoots a substantial lead In the first two 110's, but Dickson fell behind in the third exchange before giving the baton to Jay Graybeal who fought off Rogers' stretch challenge to win by two strides. The varsity half-mile relay was also close with Deiz and Buck again taking a commanding mar gin, but the Beavers coming up from behind with Rogers beating out Reiner, Oregon anchor man, by three yards. Emmons Paces Heavies An added attraction, and one of the feature events of the meet was the victory of Oregon's shot- put team over Oregon ttaies heavies in a 440-yard relay. Frank Emmons, Oregon's lead-off man took a big lead the Beavers were never able to slice. Bill Regner ran the second lap, Stan Short the third and Elmer Olsen the anchor.

Pilot G rover Kelsay Predicts Strong Team for Hills Creek The Hills Creek Hillbillies, who have made a surprisingly fine showing since they first entered State league baseball competition three years ago, expect to field another formidable club this sea son, according to Manager Grover Kelsay, veteran catcher-infielder. Hills Creek graduated from the Lane county Cascade league, a cir cuit the Billies dominated for many years, to give Lane county its second entry in the No. 1 state semi-pro league. The nine from the hills has been a strong title contender every season, playing a fighting brand of heads-up ball to overcome slight weaknesses In player calibre. This year Eugene will partially adopt Hills Creek with the team making several Saturday night appearances on the Civic Stadium field before playing the second half of the week-end schedule at Swimmers' Delight Sunday aft ernoons.

The 1940 team will be built around the same nucleus which has functioned as part of the unit for the past 10 years, according to Kelsay, namely, five men: How ard and Homer Parks, Cliff "Squeek" Baxter, and Bun and Grover Kelsay. Manager Kelsay, the spark of the team, has decided not to catch this season, but has signed a youngster from Coquille, George Fischer, to fill his backstop berth. Hills Creek s present pitchmg start is composed of Bun Kelsay, a pot ent southpaw when in form, and Merle Johnson, a fireball recruit from southern Oregon. The infield, subject to change without notice, according to Pilot Kelsay, will be composed of Vess Greenfield, a newcomer; Neil .Nichols, former Eugene high star Al Fleishman, reserve for three years; Baxter and the manager himself. The Parks brothers will be In the outfield which will also be patrolled by Dick Wright, heavy hitting centerflelder. Kelsay is In the market for several additional experienced semi-pro or better players to complete the 1940 ciud roster. "Don't sell our club short. We are out of the darkhorse rating and must be considered serious contenders," Manager Kelsay said The Hillbillies will meet the Springfield Townies of the Cas cade league in a practice game at Swimmers' Delight Sunday after noon. Both clubs will hold early afternoon drills on the field and climax their workouts with a seven-inning contest. Springfield defeated Hills Creek In a similar meeting last season.

The Wisdom that sends the storm steers the vessel. In Eugene since 1915 C0. SWnnnWTfloody i m -1 ii rz ki i m jn i at m r.jV-Hi 38 East Broadway Telephone 362
