It was a thrilling duel that was not decided until the final match, even though the British girls led in four of Saturday's six matches at the halfway mark of their 36 hole tour. The deciding match the last on the schedule was lost by Grace DeMoss of Corvallis, Ore., to Elizabeth Price of England, 3 and 2. And the irony of this was that Miss DeMoss was not among the Yanks who had trailed in the early stages. ball game. Zenimura scored from first when Helbig returned the ball to second rather than third base; But George flied out to re tire the side. HELBIG MADE up for his menial error in the seventh which, could have cost the ball game. He sin gled Dean home from second after the firstsacker had doubled down the leftfield line with one away. That seventh-inning run was all the Beavers needed. Three insurance runs scored in the eighth when Houck was safe on an infield single and advanced on Wellman's sacrifice bunt. Goodbrod punched a single through the second-first slot, scor ing Houck. Fisk flied out to left and then Johnston singled sharp ly to center, Goodbrod scoring when the ball got away from Hirayama the only unearned run of the game. Frank Warren then took charge of the mound from Loser Bishop, who suffered his first defeat against six straight wins. Dean promptly singled through the third-short hole, Johnston scoring the final run. Helbig popped out to short to end the scoring. Dean, with his "five for five", i the top hitter for the four play off games an even .500, followed by Helbig and Thomas at .482, and Goodbrod and Fisk at .375 Dean and Thomas shared RBI honors, each with five.

(U.R) The Brook lyn Dodgers, every bit as hot as the 98-degree temperature they played in, climbed over Cincin nati for five runs in the first in ning Saturday, and went on to roll up an 11-3 victory that kept their four-game National League lead intact. Driving Bubba Church to cover in the first frame, Brooklyn col lected a total of 13 hits off three Cincinnati pitchers, including Carl Furillo's third homer of the year in the seventh. Furillo also was the key man in the first inning uprising when his double to right center drove in three of the five runs. DAVEY WILLIAMS' sixth hom er of the season high-lighted a tB! four-run rallv in the sixth Innintf which enabled the second place Giants to come from behind and score a 7-5 victory over Pitts burgh. Jim Hearn. who had beaten the I Pirates nine straight times before, OB ' was knocked from the box in the fifth when Pittsburgh took a 5-3 lead. George Spencer relieved Hearn and was credited with the victory that broke the Giants three-game losing streak although Max Lanier, aided by three dou ble plays, held the Pirates score less over the last four innings. - Phil Cavaretta's Chicago Cubs fashioned their longest winning streak since 1950 four straight games by beating the Boston Braves, 9-3, behind the nine-hit pitching of Wairen Hacker. The Cubs, remaining a game and a half behind the Giants, collected 14 hits, including Hank Sailer's 13th homer and clinched the con test with a sun-run rally in the fourth. JOHN THOMAS, 215-POUND OSC CATCHER, is slinwn here sliding into third base in the seventh inning at Cor vallis Friday, with Thomas later scoring the winning run to give OSC a 2-1 far-west NCAA' playoff baseball victory over Fresno State, OSC then won the second game 8-4. Thomas; who had walked and advanced on a sacrifice, went to third on a fielder's choice. Don White, southpaw itcher for OSC, had lined to the mound where Pitcher arry Bolger knocked the ball down, but threw too late to catch Thomas. Fred Sommers, Bulldog thirdbaseman, is shown waiting for the late throw. (Hise photo, Corvallis. Wiltshire engravinl) 0 0 0 Tolala 34 4 8 24 U J f Struck out for B. Clevinger In 7th.

HIGHCLIMBER By DICK STRITE Chuck Missfeldt has the best chance of any University of Oregon athlete to make the Olympics since Ralph Hill finished second in the 5000 meters in Los Angeles in 1932. The only exceptions were Jack Hutchins and Mack Robinson who came to Oregon after their Olympic performances. . . . Robinson placed second in the 200 meters run in the Berlin Olympics and Hutchins was third in his heat of the 800-meters run in the Lon- t . -v!,vV"''!

Bob Parke of Oregon, who won the NCAA title in the javelin in 1934 with a toss of 220 feet, 11 inches, was two years too early to qualify. . . . When Boyd Brown of Oregon was tossing the javelin around 230 feet, 1939 through 1942, there were no Olympic games. , . . Missfeldt has a good chance unless a couple of guys get lucky. The Webfoot and Bill Miller of Arizona State are the most con sistent throwers in the nation to day. . . . Chuck, however, ranks only fifth in the nation for top performance, however third collegiate-wise. . . .

Matthews Signs With Marciano For July 28 Go NEW YORK (U.R) After weeks of dickering, Promoter Jim Norris Saturday closed the "hottest match of "the year" a 10-round heavy weight challengers' fight between Harry "Kid" Matthews and un beaten Rocky Marciano for Yan kee Stadium July 28. Norris said the winner prob ably would challenge for Jersey Joe Walcott's heavyweight crown in September. The promoter estimated that the brawl would draw a gate of at least $500,000. However Jack Hurley, manager of Matthews pride of the West said it would draw at least $1,000,000 for it would bring special trains from many Western and New England cities. Each fighter will receive JO per cent of the net proceeds that will include nearly $200,000 for theatre television and prob ably several hundred thousand dollars for the movie rights, The bout will not b televiaad to homes. Matthews of Seattle, 30, will be an underdog in the beginning de spite the fact that always-talking Hurley has made him the world s most publicized fighter. Odds makers said Marciano would be favored at VA to 5 in the early wagering. Stocky, swarthy Marciano, the "Brockton Block-Buster," will be the early choice because of his 40 consecutive victories and 26 knockouts as a professional. Those victories by the 27-year-old New Englander include a knockout over ex-champion Joe Louis, Marciano also is a much heavier puncher than Seattle Harry, and he will have a weight advantage of about 187 pounds to 182 over Hurley's "Athlete." Hurley said no settlement had been made with Marv Jensen, manager of Rex Layne, the Utah heavyweight who claimed to have a return contract with Matthews for Seattle June 19, Jensen, in New York Saturday, said the re turn-bout contract had been signed before Matthews won a 10-round decision over Layne at Portland, Ore., May 19. Before the match was announ ced, Jensen had threatened legal action to prevent the Matthews Marciano fight unless some deal was made with Layne. CLEVELAND PRESERVED its two game lead in the American League by burying the Philadel phia A's under a 14-0 score. Luke Easter walloped a grand-slam homer off Alex Kellner in the first inning and before the frame was over, the Indians had netted seven runs. Trailing 7-4 at one point, the) Boston Red Sox pushed across five runs in the fifth inning td defeat Detroit, 11-9, in a game featured by foui home runs. Rook ie Dick Gernert's infield grounder drove in George Kell with the de ciding run in the sixth inning, however. , 1 Vern Stephens and Sammy White each homered for Boston while Walt Dropo and Vic Wert? walloped homers for Detroit. Vet eran Randy Gumpert, who enter ed the game in the sixth was credited with his first victory of the season while Hal White sufi fered his second loss against no wins. AUie Reynolds hurled his lOtli complete game of the season in pitching the Yankees to a 2-1 de cision over the Browns. The Yanr kees insured Reynolds' seventh triumph with two runs in the fifth on Billy Martin's single, Mickey Mantle's double and Phil Rizzu to's single. ! The Chicago White Sox tripped the Senators, 5-3, in a night game at Washington. , The Philadelphia Phils edged the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, in the lone National League night game. Gran Hamner's eight-inning homer off relief pitcher Bill Werle de cided the issue.
