West Side Is
Winner of
Softball Title
West Side Tavern, Bend's orig
inal Cinderella ' team, won ' the
district championship and the
right to enter -the- state- tourna
ment at Baker by pounding their
way to a 5-4 decision over Cash
man's in the tightest battle ever
recorded here In the annals of
softball play.
Ble George Dorr pitched, field
ed and batted his team to their
second straight victory over
Cashman's and their seventh win
in a row after losing eight
straight league games. The West
Siders rose to magnificent
heights of fielding support in
capturing the district toga, plac
ing themselves in the role of fa
vorite for the city play-offs. .
Yield Seven Hits
Dorr gave up just seven hits
one of which went for a double
in protecting the best pitching
record in Central Oregon. West
Side Tavern's last seven victories
have all been notched with Dorr
on the mound. He fielded nearly
flawlessly and got two hits in
three up to drive in two of his
team's four earned runs. Jack
Gordon also had . two hits, both
for extra bases, as did Eugene
Smith and Ned Douglass.
West Side jumped to an early
lead against Cashman's just as
the Jaycees did the night before.
The score in the first inning was
West Side 3, Cashman's 0, before
the latter could settle down. The
winners kept up the barrage in
the second by scoring once on
two hits, and in the third by get
ting one run on one single and
two doubles. The single went for
naught as Cullison was thrown
out trying to stretch it into two
bases.
Score Rung
Cashman's started . poking
Dorr's deliveries in the second,
the result being a two-Kjin out
burst which was by no means of
mild proportions.
. The ,. last .runs - of the game
were scored by the tense Cash
man club in the fourth inning
when they combined three sin
gles and a double for two runs.
After the score was 54, the los
ers had men on third twice, but
the West Siders managed to es
cape unscathed.
After the third inning, losing
pitcher Johnny Woods only gave
up one hit, but his mates couldn't
supply the batting power they
had the previous night and so
the game turned into a pitcher's
battle after the fourth, with the
edge going to Dorr who pitched
no-no ball the last three frames.
Dorr walked one while Woods
didn't issue any free passes.
Lead Cashnian Batters
Wally Small and Jim Garland
were the leading Cashman bat
ters each getting two for three
and each batting in one run.
In last night's consolation tilt.
thc Redmond Vets easily topped
the Jaycees 11,2, the victory in
stalling the West Side Tavern as
favorites to win in the main ev
ent. The Vets pounded out 14 hits,
and backed up the three-hit pit
ching job of Bob Hutchins per
fectly. Hutchins retired the last
15 Jaycee batters to face him in
a row. He didn't walk a man. al
though he struck one with a
pitched ball.

Tacoma Tigers
Saved by Curfew
(By United Press) '
The midnight curfew saved the
Tacoma Tigers from slipping out
of second place in Western Inter
national league standings last
night when the second game of a
double-header with the Victoria
Athletics was called in the eighth
inning.
Victoria had humbled the Tig
ers 2-1 in the opener and was hold
ing a comfortable 15-7 margin
when the curfew drew down the
curtain one inning- short of almost
certain victory for the A's.
The pace-setting Brememton
Bluejackets had little trouble in
disposing of Vancouver 6-2, while
the winning Spokane tribe blasted
Yakima again 11-4, to pull into a
tie for third place with Victoria.
The Wenatchee-Salem series
looked like it was headed for a
new league record in number of
hits as the two clubs banged out
a total of 27 hits. The Senators
spaced their 12 blows more stra
tegically to come out on the long
end of an 8-7 score.
