:- shutout by scores of "8-0 in the
first game and 5-0 in theclinch-
er. The action wound up the 19th
Annual Oregon State Softball
5 Tournament at Allen Field in Mill
City and ended four years of Eu
i gene domination in the event, in-
f eluding 20 straight wins posted by
f the club known at various times
as.-: Rubenstein's, Steen's Market,
and Copping's Big Bucks.
I- vPespite losing the championship
to. the Corvallis club, which
. dropped its first game 2-1 to Sa
il- lem and then won six straight,
four Rubes were placed on the
., All-Star team, announced imme
P diately after the final game. Fre
2 sented with miniature gold soft-
v balls and honored with positions
on the team were Rubes' Mana-
ger-Firstbaseman Bob Wetzell,
. Secondbaseman Billy Hutchinson,
, Leftfielder Tom Collie, the second
ij leading hitter of the tourney, and
3, Pitcher Bob "Bobo" Willis, who
won three games and lost one.
If JUMP TO LEAD
j The Elks, who had to whip Sa
il, lem and Mill City Tuesday for the
t right to play Eugene, jumped to a
2-0 lead in the first off Ron Wil
li loughby in the first game. With
one out Carl Gustafson singled,
Bill Harper walked, Stagg fanned
'f for the second out, but Willough
c by walked Sprick to load the bas-
es, and Ed Nelson singled off
v Hutchinson's glove for two runs.
"In the fifth Corvallis rapped
' Willoughby, who lacked his usual
stuff, for six more runs and the
!j Ball game. Harper struck out for
j, one away, but Willoughby hit
.r Stagg on the foot and walked
Sprick. Nelson singled to center to
1 score Stagg, and Sprick scored
eln Dow Poling's grounder. Poling
!" was safe at first when the Rubes
'j. elected to make the late play at
the plate on Sprick.
j. Bob Baxeinger, who hauled in
hitting honors for the night with
four safeties, then beat out an in-
field hopper to load the bases. But
Pitcher Wehmeier promptly clear-
ed them with a long smash over
' Collie's head in left that went for
a triple. After Corvallis' Mana
; ger Bob Quisenberry was hit by
.j a pitched ball and Gustafson flied
j out, Wehmeier scored when Eu--i
gene Shortstop Paul Muller bob
i bled Harper's grounder.
" The Rubes only once got a run
J tier past first off the tough Weh-
meier. That was in the first when
Hutchinson walked and was lac
i rificed to second by Muller. Char--v
ley. Miekelson singled to center
in, the second and Hutchinson hit
'. through the box in the sixth but
Y neither could advance. 1
, WEHMEIER POISON
: S-Wehmeier, who the Rubes used
y io hit freely but who has been
poison this year, was even tough-
er in the second game. The sink
., er ball artist allowed only one hit,
''Hutch's" high bounder to second
base in the sixth on which no play
i could be made. The single mov
ed Wetzell, who had reached sec
1 ond on Quisenberry's two -base
; error, to third with only one out,
but Wehmeier bore down to fan
Jim Northam and get Muller on
D groundout.
Bobo Willis worked in and out
vof trouble against the Elks until
the fifth when he didn't get out.
J Quisenberry singled infield, Gus
.. tafson walked, and Harper was
hit by a pitch to load the bases
with none out. Stagg, the big,
black-haired catcher, then smack
,ed a fly to center, Quisenberry
scoring after the catch. T h a t
; brought up Sprick and he brought
Ihome both Gustafson and Harper
"with a triple to left, and scored
a moment later himself on a wild
9 pitch. In the sixth Quisenberry's
' triple and another wild pitch by
Willis finished the scoring.
i- Wehmeier pitched the 14 shut-out
innings, allowing only three
vhits, two walks, and striking out
7-three. He had near perfect con
Jtrol, and his sinker or drop had
,,the Rubes baffled. Time and again
Jthe defending champions hit easy
bouncers and grounders, which
(Were gobbled up by the surc
'i fielding Poling at third. Nelson at
'short, and Wehmeier himself.

GORGEOUS GEORGE
At Armory Saturday

In Main Event
COMPLETE PROGRAM
Main Event Gorgeous George
and Howard Cantonewine vs.
Mr. Sakata and Georges Dusette.
Semi-final The Black
Prince vs. Andy Tremaine.
Opener Ted Ballantyne vs.
Ben Sherman
Referee Harry Elliott.
Bring on your "gold" bobbypins,
your velvet carpet, valet, perfume
and music Gorgeous George!
The wrestling faithful in this
area will care little about what col
or silk or satin robe the prima-
dnnna of the. grappling mat wears.
They'll be more interested in hop
ing that either Mr. Sakata or
Georges Dusette will "clobber" the
210-pound "beauty" when he
teams up with his 245-pound
manager, Howard "Hangman'
Cantonwine, in a team tilt at the
Armory arena Saturday night
All of the regular fans will be
there, along with hundreds of
others who will be on hand to see
what makes Gorgeous George
click; what makes him the most
highly-publicized wrestler in the
business; what he has that no
other grappler has. It certainly
isn't his curly locks, which change
color according to his moods, or
the hue of his clothing.
Actually, when he was George
Wagner, he was a great wrestler
and still possesses a potent style
that is hard to beat. And it is a
good bet that Sakata and Dusette
can force him to let the clutch out
and go into full action.
Gorgeous George will be the big
attraction, but Matchmaker Don
Owen has also arranged a stellar
supporting program. The matches
open at 8:30 p.m., with Ben Sher
man, highly-touted veteran, meet
ing Ted Ballantyne. The semi-final
brings together The Black
Prince, white hooded wrestler,
against Andy Tremaine.
Although ticket demands have
been heavy, it is reported that re
served ringside seats are still
available at Luckey's Club cigar
store.

Finals Slated
Ed Jensen's and Valley Ply
wood, the only survivors of the
Men's Softball League double
elimination playoff, clash tonight
at 8:00 at Washington Park, 19th
and Lawrence. If once-beaten
Jensen's should triumph a decid
ing game will be played Friday
or Saturday, but if Valley, which
has gone through the playoff so
far without a loss, wins tonight
then they are the league champions.
The clubs have played three
games to date this season, Jen
sen's winning two by scores of 6-2
and 4-2, and Valley winning one
by 3-2. Jensen's will hurl Sid
Mills, who finished off Coppings
Tuesday, against Valley's husky
Ralph Mohler.

In Amateur Golf
SEATTLE (IP) Sixteen sur
vivors of play, headed by former
Champion Charlie Coe and such
strong challengers as Walker Cup
player Jimmy McHale, sailor uene
Littler and crooner Don Cherry,
headed into another double round
of match play Thursday in the
Men's National Amateur Golf
Championship.
Coe, the 1949 champion, and
McHale are familiar names in the
national classic.
Littler and Cherry earned their
way into prominence by producing
the two most resounding triumphs
of the fifth round Wednesday
afternoon.
Littler, 22-year-old former Jun
ior star, with perhaps the most
brilliant play thus far in the tour
nament, defeated the British ama
teur champion, Harvie Ward Jr.,
of Tarboro, N. C, 4 and 2.
Cherry, 28, from Garden City,
N. Y., well known in the East as
a professional singer, made it an
other year of sorrow for Frank
Stranahan, the perennial contend
er from Toledo.
Cherry, who has played without
acclaim in three other nationals,
defeated the handsome Ohio
strongboy, 3 and 1.
Stranahan, twice British cham
pion, has never won the American
crown.
Arnold Blum, Macon, Ga., a hot
threat, cooled off before the golf
of Paul Johanson, Seattle. Johan
son came out of a tree, literally,
on the ninth fairway to have the
hole end go on to win, 1 up.
Ray Billows. Poughkeepsie, N.
Y., a three-time runner-up like
Stranahan, will have to wait a
year to try again. Johanson beat
him, too, 5 and 3.
Johnny Dawson, Palm Springs,
Calif., missed seven putts of four
feet or less to run an otherwise
beautiful game and lose to Edward
Meiser Jr., Willoughby, O., 1 up.
Dick Yost, who has been win
ning tournaments in Oregon with
regularity lately, was the only
Oregonian left Thursday in the
national amateur golf champion
ships here as the field narrowed
to 16 contestants.
Yost, the Portland sharpshoot
er, got by two opponents Wednes
day while Dick Hanen of Coos
Bay and Roy Wiggins of Oswego
were eliminated.
Hanen lost to Jack Westland of
Everett, Wash., 5 and 4, and Wig
gins was eliminated by Dr. George
Trainor, Rochester, N. Y., 3 and 2.
Yost won his first match from
Billy Joe Patton, Morganton, N.C.,
3 and 2, and his second from 17-year-old
Jack Lumpkin, Athens,
Ga., 2 and 1.
