V.I Wily Hnlea That stunt of Olendale'a In getting their wires twisted and traveling to Medford last Sunday, when the Southern Oregon league baseball game waa scheduled to be played In Glendale. and had been since the season started, la not the first time the Loggers have stepped from the straight and narrow this season and I got themselves into a peck of trouble. On June 13, In the first-half, Glen i dale moved to Yreka and used Glen I Elliott, the southpaw pitching stsr, I before he had obtained a release from i the Grants Pass Merchants, and after repeated warnings from league offic ials that Elliott waa ineligible to play. The Loggers paid no attention, whatsoever, to the circuit ruling, and went right ahead and 'let Elliott pitch the game. Afterwards, upon the protest of Grants Pass, the gsme waa forfeited to Yreka. So, this forfeiture to Medford of last Sunday's game, which wasn't played. Is the second the Loggers have dropped by that route this year. Flllott. by the way.' has again pulled the old "team Jumping" art, this time sticking up his srhnozzola at the Loggers and casting his lot with Howard Maple's Albany team in the state league. In his first start last Sunday, the brilliant lefthander gave up only six hits In leading his team to a A to 8 victory over Toledo. The hurler Elliott beat was none other than Herman Plllette, former Pacific coast and major league star.

Grappling Promoter Mack Llllard, returning the other day irom a 13 day trip through the Pacific north west, reports that wrestling shows no sign of turning "up Its heels In most of the Washington, Idsho and Mon- tnna hot spots. In confabs with other promoters In those states, Llllard said he learned that the game la drawlnv better than at any time alnce 183a! and that only In a few scattered lo calities are crowds dwindling. One of the main reasons for the continued popularity of the Industry in the northwest are the tenm matches being staged, the local maestro explained. "Inns really go for them." he re marked, "and they have proved the most sensational of all types of bouts." While In Yakima. Wash., Llllard enjoyed a visit with Bill Bolger. former manager of the J. C. Pennev store here and head of a Penney branch In that city. Mack had a chance to -buy the promotional fran chise In Yakima, he said, but re fused on the grounds that he Is well satisfied with the situation here and In Klamath Falls. While on the sub ject of franchises, Mack said he had learned that Les Wolfe, who retired from the ring about a year ago to one of the hardest game of the year mere are two reasons for such a feeling here, the first being that anything can happen on that sun baked Llthlan Infield, where Inner gardenera take their lives In their hands by getting In front of drives, and the second being that Lowell Brown, Medford's big southpaw chucker. gets a slight touch of In feriority complex every time he thinks of the Ashland ball club. It Is no secret, that Llthlan play ers have little respect for Brown's ability. Last season, when Lowell was with Ashland and struggling along with a sore arm, the LI th tans saw him turn In some pretty poor exhl bltlons, and they feel confident they can neat mm every time he goes to the mound against them. Lowell, still remembering those aching-arm days, isn't sure but that the Litnlans are right. What Ashland forgets, though, and apparently Lowell, himself, at times, ia that the old southpaw souper la no longer a problem; that 4ie Is the best dog-gone pitcher in this here Southern Oregon league, by ten city blocks, and that he can knock down the ears of any club. Including Ash lsnd, anytime he wants to. Lowell still Is bothered by a slight tinge of doubt In his ability to beat the Litnlans, and it will always re main until he proves to himself that they are Just another ball club. And Just another ball club, to Brown, la a defeated ball club, make no mis take about It. He Is the class of this circuit. If Lowell whips the Llthlans next Sunday, start making a flag pole here for the pennant, fellows.

IN SEE-SAW BATTLE SAN FRANCISCO, July 31. (IP) The uncertain Portland Beavers trip led the Plfclfle Coast league leading Los Angeles last night, a to 8, In a see-aawlng thriller. Portland's win reduced the Angels' lesdershlp to two gsmes as a timely ninth Inning double-play nipped a San Francisco rally and enabled the second-place Sacramento Solons to take a 6 to 5. decision. The Angela took an early lead, putting a run across In the flrct Inning. The Beavers came back In their half of the Inning to tie the score after Manager Bill Sweeney hit a triple and score on a single. The Portland club then scored again In the third and fourth. Still In the ball game, the Angels knotted the count when Johnny Moore smashed one over the right field fence with a teammate aboard. Manager Sweeney again atepped Into the breach In the fifth Inning when he scored Bill Cronln from third on single. The Beavers finally tied up the game with two more runs on four hits In the last of the eighth.
