sociation's major tournaments here

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.

Coppers Win Softball
Game; Firemen Cry,
'We Was Robbed'
Eugene firemen and policemen
had their own "season opener"
Friday on the Willard school
grounds, and repercussions of the
battle were still bouncing around
the city hall Sunday.
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."

Net Ace Wayne Sabin Says War
Will Hurt International Tennis
By STEVE WORTH
"This war in Europe has butch
ered International tennis. 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.
When asked what he thought
the chances of the United States
would be against Australia if they

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.
After this ultimatum Ilaki had
absolutely nothing to say.
Owen plans to have one of the
finest programs of the season a

parently has some foundation this
week with the signing of George

were to compete this year, the 23-
year-old stylist said that the re
sults would be a "toss-up."
"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.

Capture Relays
Beaver High-Jumpers
Tie Mark; 440 Close
Colonel Bill Haywards short-
handed University of Oregon
cindermen dropped a 5-3 decision
to the Oregon State college track
men on Hayward field Saturday
afternoon In the 13th running of
the annual Intra-state collegiate
relays. 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 Hillbillies have been a thorn
in the side of the Eugene Athletics

during the past two seasons, tak
ing the anual "hectic" series with
the locals and ending the season
far ahead of their "city cousins"
in the final standings.
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.

walk and Davis walked seven.
Courtwright and W. Hlckson both

Little Things With
Big Meanings.
Those who "refuse to be bored" by learning anything new
about their eyes, simply because their vision seems to be good,
are taking a most serious chance of defeat in Life's alms and
ambitions.
It Is difficult to do things better than they are seen. Many
eye difficulties are caused through lack of understanding In theit
care and preservation.
The eyes help those who help themselves. The Wisdom
that sends the storm steers the vessel.
