Riser, McEuin in Title Mat Clash H IGH CLIMBER By DICK BTRIT1 The Hills Creek Hillbillies will i- piny their baseball "swan son" a the Swimmers' Delight diamond j next Sunday afternoon In a State "league game against the Bend es.Blks. Long lived the king the king 'Is deadl I Tor some 15 years the Hills Creek Lumber Co., has been pour- ' ing its iinancial support in the i.life of, first the Pleasant Hill f team of the Cascade league, then the present Hillbillies. i Although the 'Billies have never ! Jlnished far up in the State league circuit, and sometimes nave been In the ruck. Lane county baseball i fans have taken them to their i hearts a fightin', spirited bunch of fellows who always played !r heads-uri ball and never knew i when they were licked. ! The Hillbillies made several "flashes in the pan," placing third In both the 1B3B and l3 state "H' semi-Dro tournaments at Silver- tar; ton. . . . and in the 1939 season "finished second in the second' -.half State league standings, and tied for second in the total games won and lost for the entire season. When the original Pleasant Hill !.t;team was organized all of the utresent veterans were grade. school youngsters. But as the years :z rolled bv these kids gradually ais- m placed the oldtimers and six of ' the fellows still remain in the JS lineup and will be honored by im spectators Sunday afternoon. Set r. The "spark" of the outfit to Gro ver Kelsay, catcher and inflelder Zul one of the best "money" hit- tm ters on the club. The little success the Hillbillies have enjoyed has M been because or orovers wiuing--ness to work under heavy handi- - caps playing a circuit In which "other teams were far superior in finances and talent. Grover Is completing his 11th season and is only 25 years old. Bun Kelsay. the southpaw pitch ing veteran and first-baseman, is the veteran of the sextet and still only 28 years old. This Is his 14th season. Howard Parks, the slug- ' glng outfielder, is in his 10th sea J son and only 25 years old. Brother - Homer, an eaually eood fielder it and almost as ootent as Brother Jfei Howard at the plate, Is in his ninth season, and 24 years old. , . . Cliff Baxter, the peppery inflelder, is 5JJ playing his ninth season and is 28 I years old. Dick Wright is 25 and jj In his eighth year with the club. iii When Grover announced that the "Old Horse Shay" is broken JI down it probably made his heart V i bleed. , . , Baseball Is in his blood J and bones, the same as his team JT mates. . . . And while the Hill- billies pass on, no doubt most of J" the players will still be out there k knocking the apple around, come another season. m The Billies made one last effort " to capture a State league pennant J5 this season after so many years m of dominance in the Cascade clr ?cult. . , . The club signed Monty EjDean as manager and infielder, EsaLen Stelzer at short, and made !. offers to Johnny Bubalo and other outstanding players. . . . But it v' was no go and after Sunday it , will be all over. it' Local fans no doTJbt will flock to 3 Swimmers' Delight to see this team i in action for the last time. ... It 5' will be many years before Lane j county can boast of its very own i "Gas House Gang." i After Sunday's game the players a and their wives will gather for one llast lling a picnic supper at the j .resort that has been their home I park these past few years. 3 And as the Hillbillies move on, we say to these uncrowned cham pions: Long lived the king the king is deadl Local lumbermen, especially those associated with plywood, will be Interested to learn that vi experiments have been made irf " constructing crew shells with ply. ,y wood and found successful. IJ Bruce Myers, sports editor of I : the Corvallis Gazette-Times, says that Oregon State's crew coach, J' Ed Stevens, has built two four- i oar shells and is now constructing M an eight-oar craft at a tenth the ;,- cost of the standard shell built i usually of western red cedar . . . J Stevens used Douglas fir plywood. Regulations Announced For 1941 Migratory Bird Season WASHINGTON, Aug. 2101.19 (Secretary of Interior Harold L. j- Ickes last night announced the J 1941 rules for hunting migratory i , game birds, including 60-day duck l-i seasons throughout the country ! and a daily bag limit of 10 ducks. T" The new regulations prohibit the i-use of cattle, horses or mules as J" blinds. Jv Seasons: I"" The 60-day waterfowl season t-begins on: Oct. 16 in Idaho, Washington, i Oregon and California.

COMPLETE PROGRAM Mam Event Champion Jiek Kiser vs. Challenger BUI Me Euln, Pacific coast light heavy, weight championship. Semi Final Gtorge Wagner vs. George Kitsmiller. Opener Toby Wallace vs. Walter Achiu. Referee Elton Owen. Jack Kiser, the sensational Si Johns youngster who holds the Pa cific coast light-heavyweight title only after three years In proles. sional wrestling, is different from most grappiers in bu uut uw uiuib confidence. Kiser signed for two champion ship matches within a four-day period, against George Wagner and Billy McEuin. He defeated Wagner in Portland Monday night, taikng a gamble on Thursday's meeting here with McEuin. But it was no gamble for Kiser who is sure he can take the measure of any man 180 pounds and under possibly even heavyweignts, Bill McEuin Confident, Too McEuin, who held the title un til he ran into Kiser last month, is another one of those confident matmen and predicts a return step to the throne Thursday night at the fairgrounds arena where the two men meet in the headline at traction of Promoter Herb Owen's weekly mat show. Two other outstanding matches are on the schedule. George Kitz miller, who defeated Walter Achiu in Portland earlier in the week, will take on Wagner in a semi final battle. Although forced to give away some 20 pounds, Wag ner, seeking another match with Kiser, will be a slight favorite over the 200-pound Portland truckdriver. Achiu will make an effort to regain lost prestige in a match against the talented Portlander, Toby Wallace who was a first night favorite here several weeks ago in losing to McEuin, but show- ins a sDlendid array of holds, Kiser, the sun-tanned ship-yard worker, lacks the experience and talent of most of the performers now in the Owen "stables," but his lightning speed and aggressiveness pulls him through. Defense for "Skln-the-Rabblt" The champion is well founded In all the basic holds, and boasts on one "clincher" a hold in which ha m-nanii an ontoonent'a wrists and pulls them through the victim's legs, resulting In the startled grap nler finding his shoulders pinned to the mat and notmng to qo aDout it. The hold has been dubbed "skin-the-rabbit," resembling the age-old backyard trick performed by youngsters. The hold is particularly potent against McEuin who uses a head- ainiost'astenslvely as trie' fa'cf ney punch. But the tough Texan claims he has perfected a defense lor the hold and will avoid head locks whenever possible. Reserved seat tickets are on sale at the Club cigar store. The curtain-raiser is scheduled to get under way promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Pop Warner Quits San Jose 'Post' SAN JOSE, Cal., Aug. 21 (U.PJ Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner, one of the nation's leading football coaches, told San Jose State col lege officials today he would not return this year as advisory coach at San Jose State. Warner said he would remain at Springville, N. Y because he "wants a year to loaf." Two years ago the former Stan. ford university coach came to San Jose State to assist Dud DeGroot, head football mentor. Last year he advised Ben Winkelman, who suc ceeded DeGroot. With Warner as advisory coach, the Spartans won 23 games and lost one. Mrs. Mann Continues As Western Golf Threat CHICAGO.

The locals, entrants last year, will piay tne Portland No. 3 entry in a first- round game. Several hundred spectators saw the Marketmen make a game of it until the seventh when their de fense tracked and the Canners combined exlrs-base hits with an error to score three urns. The con test failed to stack up with the excellent exhibition of Monday night when the Canners eked out a 2-1 win over Dunham Trans fers of Roseburg in the first of the single-elimination series. "Soup" Toman, the leading hit ter of the series with four for six, opened the first inning with a single off Frank Jacobs' glove at third. He advanced on Johnny Dunn's sacrifice, went to third on Charlie DeAutremont's infield out, and scored when Doc Taylor's bounder went through Tommy Cox at short. Three No-No Innings The Canners were never headed and Toman added another run in the third with a solid blow that scooted under the leftfield fence for a four-bagger. In the meantime Vern Adams had pitched no-hit, no-run ball, striking out five in the first two frames. Two errors at third put Ed Russell and Pete Taylor on the paths and Ed Wellnitz rappeoVout a double to score both runners for a 4-0 lead going into the last of the fourth. Adams was found for three hits in that frame doubles by Dale Gates and Jack Butterworth and a single by Tom Gallo for two Quality Market runs. The visitors threatened again in the sixth when Curt French beat out an infield hit, but the Canners came up with a nicely executed double play. Consecutive triples by Dunn and DeAutremont and singles by Doc Taylor and Russell gave the Fruit Grower nine three markers in the first of the seventh. Marketmen Threaten Late The champions rode along with their substantial lead until the ninth when Butterworth walked the fifth issued by Adams and advanced to second on Gallo s second single. Ed Russell fumbled Harold Harpole's ground ball, fill ing the bases with none away. Cox popped out to second, Skade filed to third, and Billy Sutton raced over near the leftfield line to snag Tracy's fly to retire the side and end the ball game. Butterworth allowed only eight hits and didn't Issue a walk, but his teammates supported him poorly. Gallo led the Grove hit ters with two for three. Box score: ETJOENE Toman If Dunn 3 DeAutremont D.

O ARROW SHIRTS The Man's Shoe BYROM & KNEELAND IS M Cardinals Gain On Brooklyn Bridges Holds Yankees To 2 Hits For Tigers By JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press) The nennant problem in the Na tional leasue is (retting to be "can the St. Louis Cardinals keep going with all their injuries?" instead Of "can the Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers?" In spite of a procession oi trouble the Cardinals have kept rieht on coming and Wednesday swept a doubleheader from tne Braves 2-0 and 3-2. Ernie White, the Cards' great young lefthander, pitched a six-hit shutout in the first game for his ISth victory and Howard Pollett, zo-year-om southpaw, pitched a four-hitter for his major league debut in the nightcap. Error Gives Dodgers Win The double triumph enabled the Cards to climb within a game and a half of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who were given a 7-8 handout by the Pittsburgh Pirates for BrooK lyn's sixth straight win. The Dodgers exploded four runs in the first inning, then were over taken by a six-run rally of the Buccaneers in the third, when Bob Elliott hit a three-run homer. The Dodgers tied the score on Pete Reiser's homer In the seventh, with the winning run crossing the plate in the ninth when Right- fielder Elliott dropped a fly ball with the bases loaded and two out. The Cincinnati Reds reinforced their third-place nosition by shut ting, out the poor Phillies twice, 2-0 and 3-0. John Vander Meer allowed only three hits and Elmer "The Great" Riddle kept six blows scattered for his 14th triumph in the nightcap. The Chicago Cubs cut loose with a 16-hit attack as Vsllle Eaves kept eight hits spaced to beat the New York Giants 9-4. Bridges Gives Yanks 2 Hits In the American league, the New York Yankees were squeezed out 1-0 by the Detroit Tigers as Tommy Bridges pitched two-hit ball for ten innings in one of the finest performances of his long career. The Chicago White Sox chopped another game off the Yankees' ample lead as John Rigney blanked the Philadelphia Athletics 9-0 for the third shutout in two days by a Sox pitcher and Rigney's sec ond shutout In two starts. The collapsing Cleveland In dians dropped their 14th game in IS decisions 6-3 to the Washing ton Senators In a pitching duel between Arne Anderson and Al Smith which was decided in the ninth inning when the Senators scored four times to Cleveland's two. The Boston Red Sox were beaten in both ends of a double header by the St. Louis Browns, 11-9, and 4-3. Each team made a dozen hits in the first game, but the Browns grouped five runs In the first inning to keep ahead. The second session was a ten- inning affair finally won on John Berardino's squeeze bunt. Major Leaders (United Prut) LEADING BAITERS AMERICAN O AB Si R Pet. Williams.
