Ore., July 8. (UP) There were three fewer marrlago li censes granted In Coos oounty in June, 1038, tiian during the corres ponding period last 'year. What golf's money boya call "the hardest tournament In the world to win" the P. a. A. conflict opens at Shawnce-On-Delaware, Pa., July 10, and all eyes wilt be on Ralph Qul dahl, the burly fellow who ro centfy copped the National open for the second year, and frail Denny Schute, who has won the Profes sional Qolfers as noclatlon crown the last two seA-sona. In addition to Schute, there will be six former P. Q. A. champions gunning for the title Hngcn, garazen, Leo Diesel, Runyon, Rcvolta and Armour a bril liant array, but Denny and Guld.ihl are considered the two logical fa vorites. They will be battling for something other than the mere title. too. Guldahl wants to become the sec ond golfer tn history ever to win the National open and the P. O. A. the same year. Gene Sornzen Is the only player who hns been able to turn the trick. He did It- 16 years ago, and stneo then the world's best havo fired In vain for tho coveted grand slam. Billy nulcv As for Schute, he wants to Join Walter Hagen as the only golfor ever to win the P. G. A. more than two successive years. The Halg, one of the game's Immortals, grabbed It four straight years, 1024-27. Another profeastonal who Is rated more than an outside chance at the crown Is long-driving Jimmy Thom son. He knows the layout by heart, as Shawnee-On-Delaware Is where he makes his living. Harry Cooper, lead ing money-winner so far this year and one of tho game's greatest stars, will be after his first major cham pionship, and Dick Mctz, runner-up In the National open to Guldahl, are other dark horses. The pro's start off with two days of medal play, then bang away for five clajM at match play. Par for the (i,(105-yanl course Is VI. The layout Is long, well-tmpppd, has gnod-Hzcd greens and requires ac curacy off the tees. What an unpleasant laugh that must have been to Lowell Brown and Austin Prazler when they heard Um pire Rosa of Crescent City get up at tho Southern Oregon league meeting In Grants Pass Wednesday night and tell the directors that no Crescent City players were gathered around home plate and Illegally on the field when that tying run scored In the protested game here June 3d. There were positively at least five Crescent City players crowding around Med ford'a catcher, Cliff McLean, waving their arms and shouting to the high heavens, when the runner was al lowed to score from thtrd base, and we'll bet everything we possess against a plugged penny It's so. . J body else's In Medford who saw the game, Umpire Ross of Crescent City Is Incompetent and shouldn't be al lowed to officiate In the circuit. Prazler, after the meeting, proposed to Manager Roy Deo of Crescent City that two neutral umpires be obtained for the next two Medford-Crescent City game, and Deo refused. He told Prazler that Rosa was perfectly satis factory to Crescent City. To which we will be glad to add that he should be, after "stealing" the first-half pennant for' Deo and his club, whether It was an unintentional "steal" or pot.

Ashland at Crescent City. Qlendsle at Grants Pass. Central Point It was the lousiest umpiring we've over seen In the league, but there la nothing to be done about It. The league directors took the stand that the umpire Is supposed to know what's going on. which is true, and when he testified there were no Crescent City players Illegally on the field, that settled that. The directors can't be blamed; they had to listen to conflicting testimony And make their decision. Because the umpire bosses the game, there was nothing else to do but uphold his decision In our opinion, along with evcry- CENTRAL POINT, July S.-Spl.)

He will be opposed by Krlnock or Alvle Merrltt for Ashland. Glcndale will toss Its brilliant southpaw youngster, Glenn Elliott, against Grants Pass, while the Mer chants will counter with Steve Crip pen. Tommy White, Medford's slugging young outfielder who cracked his wrist against Ashland. June 12, will still be on the sidelines as the second half race opens. It was, believed the wrist would be sufficiently healed to allow him to see action for the open er, but It hasn't mended as expected, and he will be on the shelf for at least two more weeks.
