By BILL LOVE
Some cay tha first ever, others
gay the first in 18 years.
Anyway, Junction City'i 1843
baseball team won tha school's
first District 8 diamond champ
ionship in many a moon at How
Field Thursday afternoon, when
it out-battered Ford Mullen's Eu
gene Axemen, 7 to 5 in a playoff
game for the leagut crown.
It was a reversal from last Tues
day's l-to-0 Eugene victory when
Lefty Mortenson and Ray Brauner
engaged in a pitching duel. Tha
hitters went on the warpath Fri
day, and it was a question of
which pitching staff could hold
out.
Coach Frank Thcmas tossed
Mortenson at the Axemen Thurs
day after only two days rest, and
the muscular lad was pitching
mostly on a prayer late in the
game when the Eugene team put
some powder In their bats at the
plate. He had the contest well
under control early in the game,
however.
Bill Elder, transfer from Grant
high in Portland, started for the
Axemen, and was effective till
the third Inning. He had a hard
time finding the plate throughout,
walking S men in the four innings
plus that he worked. He retired
midway in the fifth after R.
Mohler had scored three runs with
a long home run over the center
fielder's head momentarily mis
judged. Brauner finished the game
and allowed one earned run in
the seventh- inning when he also
began to show effects of Tuesday's
game.
Ralph Mohler, catcher transfer
from California, the best in the
league although only a sophomore,
was poison with a capital "P." He
got two singles and a home-run in
four trips to the platter, scored
one run and batted In five of the
seven.
His brother, Harold, thirdbase-
man, kept the family pride burn
ing by getting two hits in three
attempts, scoring three runs and
batting in one more.
Rightfielder Charles McCloskey,
who has got at least two hits in
the last four games, was the Axe.
men's most potent bitter, McClos
key got two hits, including a
home-run oft Mortenson, batted In
three runs and scored two others.
Catcher Clyde Green also got two
hits for Eugene.
The first two Innings were
scoreless, neither pitcher being in
real trouble. But in the third,
Junction't "big four" power-boys
found the range, and three runs
scored before the side was retired.
Elder helped things along by
walking the first two, men. Bill
Seigman, H. Mohler, Mortenson,
and R. Mohler connected for four
successive single before Eugene
could get the third out.
Junction rested on Inning, but
in the fifth, the "power-boys"
again found the range, which
spelled curtains for Eugene. H.
Mohler singled, Mortenson walked,
and brother Ralph came tltrough
with his four-ply swat,, sending
Elder to the showers. Brauner re.
tired the tide without further
damage.
Eugene found Mortenson for
two hits and two runs in the fifth.
With on out, McCloskey singled
and Charley Mickleson walked.
Herb Gilbert rifled a one-bagger
to left field, McCloskey scoring
and Mickleson going to third. Jack
Fassett hit long fly to cntr
field, the runner scoring from
third after the catch.
In the sixth, Al Caldwell walk
ed with one away. Green singled
to center, but Harv Humphrey
forced the Eugene catcher at sec
ond on a fielder's choice, Caldwell
going to third. At that point, Mc
Closkey hit his home-run inside
the left-field foul line.
Junction added on for good
measure in the seventh. H. Mohler
and Mortenson were issued free
passes, and R. Mohler scored his
brother with single to center.
Mortenson was out attempting to
take third on the play. Carl Nell,
son was safe on an error, and after
a pop-up to th shortstop. Palmer
Soranson singled to cepter, but H.
Mohler was trapped between third
and home and finally tagged out
by the catcher.

SI ' The Phillies have never been

The Springfield high school ten
nis team, high-hatted by th Port

league, is expected to meet Grants
Pass in a challenge match either
here ou the University of Oregon
courts or at Roseburg Saturday.
The Cavemen claim the southern
Oregon championship. "
The Miller netmen, victors In 15
straight scholastic matches during
the past two years, claimed the

Lee that provided tne aeciaing
run in th opener.
Only Stan Hack hobbled as fa

walk and Ed Stanky's wild heave
to garner their two runs in the
third inning.
The Dodgers defeated the Card.

the Miller discovered that the I who defeated the Red Birds in the
Portland sports moguls had re
fused the Generals permission to
compete even in an unofficial
match. So the 230-mile trip, and
E. H. Silke's gasoline coupons
were wasted.
Silke, superintendent of Schools
at Springfield and an ardent sports

poach-less. Millers and was con
vinced the youngsters should be
given a chance to vie for the state
championship which they claimed.
"They'll all be in the army or
navy soon and they should be giv

they're in school,'' Silke said.
The superintendent offered to
furnish transportation for a chal
lenge match, but after the Port.
land jaunt he has just enough gas
rationed for a necessary business
trip. That's the reason the Millers
couldn't go to Grants Pass.
Among the Millers' 15 victims
this season, have been Salem,
Corvallis, Eugene, and Roseburg,
a team that claims a victory over
Grants Pass. The personnel of the
team is Ray Stratton, Jim Oram,
Larry Moore, Rex Stratton, and
LeRoy Owings. Ray Stratton Is

commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis
today permitted the Boston Braves
to have one player more than the

The annual limitation of big

to his board.
The Braves are the only club In
