n a final league encounter with
iilverton's Northwest semi-pro
champions. Game time will be
3:30 p.m.
A victory for Manager Dick
Bishop's A's over the Red Sox
would at least clinch a tie with
Silverton for the second-half title
and the Red Sox will face Mt.

day with the Angels scheduled to
throw Norb Wellman.
Stan Aune, Eugene righthander,
and Chuck Sauvain, Silverton
southpaw, are expected to be
mound opponents Tuesday.
Outfielder Ron Phillips, who
had a homer and three singles
and batted in five runs, was the
big gun in the Eugene attack at
Mt, Angel Monday boosting his
average to .476 for the season
and the possible league batting
crown. Don Siegmund allowed
the Angels only one run and three
hits in the six innings he worked
on the hill for the Athletics.
Eugene got off to an impressive
start with four runs in the third
inning when Charley Mickelson
walked and stole second, Ray
Stratton walked and Phillips sin
gled Mickelson home. Norv Blt
chey took base on an error and
Stratton scored. Jack Fassett
banged out a triple to score two
more.
Mt. Angel picked up a run in
the third on a home run by
Wayne Peterson.
The A's scored three times in
the fourth when Mel Krause sin
gled and Mickelson walked. Both
advanced after Stratton's outfield
fly and scored behind Phillips'
single. Phillips went to second
on the throw. He stole third and
Ritchey walked. A double steal
scored Phillips with Eugene's
seventh run.
Charley DeAutremont singled in
the fifth, followed by Siegmund's
walk, Krause dropped a blooper
single to right and Siegmund was
thrown out at second. On another
double steal, DeAutremont scored.
Al Russell's single and three
walks forced in a Mt. Angel run
in the sixth. The Angels added
another in the seventh when Lee
Shinn batted in Peterson who had
walked.
Eugene added four more in the
eighth when Stratton singled and
scored ahead of Phillips' homer.
Ray Clayton walked, Fassett
singled and DeAutremont's single
scored Clayton, runners advanc
ing. Fassett scored from third af
ter Siegmund's fly out to the out
field. Two walks and a triple by Fred

ninth-inning runs.

Liifle Rubes
Whip Druggists
The Little Rubes did what their
big brothers the Eugene Softball
Rubes couldn't do this year, win
a championship. Monday night,
the Little Rubes turned back
Everybody's Drug 4-1 in the final
game of a two-out-of-three play
off for the Active Club's senior di
vision Goldenball title. The Rubes
won the first game last week, and
the Druggists took the second en.
counter.
Losing Pitcher John Hirons
gave up only three hits, but the
Little Rubes took advantage of
them all. Meanwhile, Gary Ash
worth, the Rubes' ace chucker, al
lowed only four hits, and only one
after the second inning.
After two hits failed to net a
run in the first, the Druggists
drew first blood in the second.
Tom Slocum's single, followed by
two walks and Jerry Poston's in
field smash, brought a run home.
An error, a fielder's choice and
Pete Gertsen's single tied it up
in the third. A walk, a stolen
base, a fielder's choice, and
Ashworth's one-base knock gave
the Rubes a run in the fifth. Gert
sen's single, two errors and a wild
pitch netted two insurance runs
in the sixth.
