BEST GAME OF ALU BASEBALL BEND ELKS vs. old-timers Wednesday, August 24, 8 p. m. BEND MUNICIPAL FIELD Popular Prices Hollywood Stars Down to 3-6ame Lead in League By Hal Wood (United frma 8poru Wrlttr) San Francisco. Auc. 23 HI Things a.-e getting tough all over, says manager Fred Haney of the Hollywood Surs. But It Is probable that Haney has particular reference to the Pacific Coast league, which has developed from walk-away for his Stars into an old-fashioned dog-tight. , The Stars, like some of the actors and actresses they are named for, have been fading of late and unless the Brooklyn farm organization comes through with some surprise help, a rocky road lies ahead for the Haney outfit. During the past two months, the Stars have won only 25 while losing 32 games which is def. initely no way for a champion to act. During that time they have won three series, tied one and lost four. Included in their losses are a 5-2 set to Oakland last week, and a 5-4 defeat in July to the same club; a 6-1 drub bing by Seattle; and a 4-2 thump ing by Sacramento. The only teams they were able to beat were the Portland Beavers (2) and the San Francisco Seals (1). clubs that currently are alternat ing between sixth and seventh place in the standings. With the , last-place Los Angeles Angels, the Stars got a four-four stand off in their most recent encounter. S Game Margin The only thine that has -held the Stars in first place by a scant three-game margin now is the fact that most of the com petitors have played just so-so ball. The runner-up club Is the de fending champion Oakland team which is pepped up and play ing the best ball in the circuit just now.- But the Oaks have trouble ahead, too. They play their cross-bay rivals, the San Francisco Seals, this week, and the Seals have shown signs of coming to life. Climbing from seventh to sixth place in the standings during the past month, the O'Doulmen have won 17 out of 26 tilts a. pretty fast pace ior a second division team. Meanwhile, the Stars take on a club they never could lick with any degree of teonsistency, the Angels. 'Seattle invades San Di ego, and Sacramento plays host to Portland In the other series. Oakland, Omaha Teams to Battle Yakima. Wash., Aug. "23 'U The Oakland, Cal., American Le gion baseball team taneles to night with the Omaha, Neb., le gion: nine in a crucial game in the western regional playoffs. If Omaha wins Oakland will be eliminated from the tourney. But if Oakland wins the two squads win piay a aouoie-neaaer. Last night, Oakland eliminated Bremerton,: Wash., with a 24 to 6 victory. Three Bremerton pitchers gave up 22 walks, while Oakland pitcher Bob Quinn gave up 12. Oakland captain Ray Herrera got a double and two triples in five times to spark the winners' batting attack. Bowling The Office team last night in a playoff match scored a 16 pin victory over the Woods keglers to win the Brooks-Scan Ion bowling league championship., The two teams were tied for first place at the end of the season's play.

Giants, Purchased Outright by Yankee Team By Milton Richman (United Press Sports Writer) New York, Aim! 23 (U.R) Johnny Mize switched from tho New York Giants to the New York Yankees today with "no room for regrets but plenty of room for improvement." The 86-year-old first baseman, after 10 years in the Na tional league, was sold to the Yankees yesterday in a straight cash deal estimated between $50,000 and $75,000. He took with him a record of 13 homers and a .265 batting average thus far this season. Chewing reflectively on a cigar, the huge, 215-pound Mize said : "I wouldn't say I'm glad to get away from the Giants. I got along all right with Duro cher although 1 didn't always agree with him. I didn't leave with any enemies I hope." Mize shifted his feet, took a long puff on the stogie and blurt ed: Clean Start "As far as I'm concerned, I'm making a clean start with the Yankees. There's plenty of room for improvement and I hope those bats over there will help me." Whether Mize will be aU the Yankees need to go on to the Ajnerican league flag was still a question as Manager Casey Sten gel took the news of big John's addition without enthusiasm. "I don't know what I'll do with him." declared Stengel "I'll have to take a look at him first. I'm certainly not going to move Tom my Henrich oft first base." Mize, a left-handed pull-hitter, has hit 315 home runs during six seasons with the St. Louis Card inals and five campaigns with the Giants. He tied Pittsburgh's Ralph Kiner for the National league home run championship during the past two seasons, wal loping 51 round trippers In 1947 and 40 last year. His life-time av erage of .324 is one of the highest in the majors. Semi-Pro Nines In tournament Wichita, Kans..

Sporf Parade By Oscar Kralry (llnllxt Pita Spuria Writer) By Oscar Kralry (United Preaa Sporta Writer! New York, Aug. 23 HP" Mana ger Burt Shotton of the Brook lyn Dodgers was on a spot today to become the "goat" manager of the year with grease for U)e skids provided by his own boss. Deacon Branch Rickey, and members of the Dodger alumni association. Rickey, sometimes known be cause of his eloquence as "Chin" Rickey, didn't do "lovable, kind ly" Burt a favor In the spring when he pronounced this Dodger team as his "greatest ever." And such Ebbets field gradu ates as "Pistol Pete" Reiser and Eddie Stanky weren't helping the Gowanus Growler either. Reiser was a thorn In Brook lyn's side, as the Boston Braves walloped Brooklyn three In a row for the Dodgers' sixth loss In their last seven starts to put the reeling Rlckeys two full games back of the St. Louis Cardinals. And Brooklyn's mood Indigo was deepened several shades, as the Dodgers prepared to open a three-game series with those St. Louis swlf ties, oy Eduardo of the Stankys. Started Rally Little Eddie, in the spring of 1947, was miffed at the manner In which the Brooks peddled him off to the Braves. He promised then that the Braves would win the pennant, and they did. Now, this season, with the Braves un questionably out of It, Eddie step ped up In the ninth inning yester day and bolted a tying homer his first of the season to give the Braves time to rally for a vic tory over the Dodgers. Not only that, but he knocked it off Ralph Branca, his one-time Dodger room mate. That's, tough taffv, as they say in Atlantic City, but it still per mits Rickey to retain his laurels as an oracle barring that "great est ever" description -of his down 'in the mouth Dodgers. For three of the Deacon's pre dictions are coming true: 1. In selling Stanky he de scribed "Muggsy" as "a truly great team player." (Wanna try for two?) 2. In peddling Reiser he assert ed that "it was one of the most hazardous deals I ever made." (Right again. And now double or nothing!) Unfavorable Moment 3. Rickey said after the last scries with the Cardinals, that their next meeting (the two gam es today and one Wednesday) would decide the National league pennant, race. If that third prediction is on the level, couldn't arrive at a more unfavorable moment for the Dodgers and Shotton. The "Bums." and remember that's an accepted nickname, are lower than a harness bull's arch es. They have dissipated a three and one-half game lead. And no body seems to know what to do. Back In mid-May they faced a similar situation. They had lost three to Boston then, too, to fall four games off the pace and into fourth place. Burt gave them a blast and they came a running. Now Shotton seems to have his dauber down. "What good would It do?" he replied, when asked whether he vocally had elevated the nether regions. "They just can't seem to do anything.-They can't think right and can't take advantage of anything." If the Cardinals sweep this im pending series, you can bet they will have a new driver in Brook lyn rftxt season. .

That Job was a chips-down game against the Brooklyn Dod gers July 25 In the torrid Nation al league race. 'Hie Cards had won three games In a row from the Dodgers to seize first place for the first time in more than a month, and Lanier took over to hold that lead. He was belted from the box. but no one ever won the game. It was called with the score tint 4-4 after nine Innings to allow both teams to catch trains. Now, with the Cards lending the Dodgers by two games, the tie will be played off today. In addition, the two teams tangle In another game tonight and a third tomorrow In this vital series. And once again Lanier is on the spot. Lead Blown One of Brooklyn's major prob. lems is to keep from falling apart in the clutch. Once again the Dodgers blew a lead - yesterday when they were beaten by the Braves, 7 to 6, In the ninth Inn ing. The Dodgers were leading. 6-5, going Into the ninth. Eddie Stanky, who had not hit a home run all year, finally clipped one off Ralph Branca, the third Dod ger pitcher. It was Eddie's sev enth homer In seven years In the majors. Elbie Fletcher, next up. walked. So did Branca right out of the game, and Erv Pallen took over. Al Dark hit Into a force play nt second, but then Jeff Heath whammed a long double to score Dark and break up the ball game. That was the only game sched uled In the majors yesterday. To day there's a full schedule in the National. Chicago at New York. Pittsburgh nt Boston and Cincin nati at Philadelphia In addition to the Dodger-Card tilts: In the American New York nt Detroit.
