Ore., June 18 The Portland Beavers of the Pa cific Coast league, pursuing policy of substituting young players for veterans past their primes, released Outfielder Ed Coleman yesterday. Rar Chase of Portland (above), current leader In point of standings of all midget driv en In this circuit, is shows cutting inside another speeding "doodle-bug" on a curve to flash into first place. Chase will wheel his red-hot number IS around the fairgrounds oval to night in Bobby Rowe'a big race program, and will be one the favorites to cop the main event. WRAY STILL TOP Crater batting averages, on the whole, slid downward over the week-end as the locals di vided a two-game aeries with the Albany Alco-Oaks, but Al Wray'a mark stayed way up there above .400 .433 to be exact. Wray pulled a leg muscle Saturday night and didn't see action in the series, so he heads the hitters, although Hank Pacheco is the nominal leader with .600. The Craters will tangle with the undefeated and Southern Oregon league-leading Gran?; Pass Merchants under the lights here tomorrow night starting at 8:30. It might be quite a tus sle, as Grants Pass will be cer tain to shoot the works In an attempt to knock off the State leaguers. Team batting averages follow: AB. R. H. Avg.

To be sure, the margin of superi ority is rather meager but it is enough to give the Kiwanls club an edge over their arch rival of the links. In their annual grudge match yesterday at the Rogue River Valley Golf club, the Kiwanls club nosed out the Rotary club, 14 points to 13. The match was held after a box lunch served under the shade trees on the golf club lawn, this part of the affair being in charge of Lee Watson. At the luncheon, Laddy Sel kirk, the club's professional, gave a talk on the fundamentals of the ancient Scottish game. His son, Bill Selkirk, later dem onstrated some of the points Laddy brought out in the talk. In a blind bogey tourney, prizes were won by Russell Davis, Nell Collins, Cedric Reaney, Charles Clay and R. B. Hammond. The golf summary: New York, June 18 W) The Al Weill wink Is considera bly more expressive than the far-famed Weill wesklt, although not quite as large. He gives that eyelid a click so hearty it can be heard as well as seen. He did it todav when someone asked him about the possibility that Arturo Go doy would export the heavy weight championship to Soutli America and defend It from them provided he takes the ti tle from Joe Louis in Yankee stadium Thursday night. And when he did, plump Al wasn't winking because he had something in his eye. The situation offers the most interesting possibilities. O f course, first off the Chilean croucher would have to whip Louis Job he didn't accom plish last February, and doesn't figure to come any closer to do ing it this time. If you believe those 1 to S odds on the Bomber. Still, the fight game la full of the screwiest situations.

REDS TAKE LEAD AS BROOKS LOSE By Associated Press The St. Louis Cardinals may not be going anywhere, but they are unquestionably going there fast. Since Billy Southworth as cended (?) to the managership last week the club has won five games and hasn't been beaten. The Cards created quite a bit of commotion yesterday by blockading the Brooklyn Dodg ers 3-1 and enabling the Cin cinnati Reds to regain first place. While this was going on the Reds reaped a 6-2 triumph at Philadelphia to take a full game jump over the Dodgers. The New York Giants got back on the winning track when Paul Dean continued his mas tery over the Chicago Cubs by a 2-1 score. The Boston Bees swept a doubleheader from the Pitts. burgh Pirates 9-3 and 5-1. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press New York, June 18 Pete Scalzo 128, New York, recog nized by the N. B.

A. as flyweight champion. L Meaner than ever, Sgt. Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill roughed and battered Portland's Ernie Plluso into defeat in last night's main event wrestling match in the Medford armory. The re sult of the bout indicated that one benefit Kenaston got from working his mine the past sev eral weeks was "dirt," and plenty of it. Kenaston pulled every low down trick in the book to trounce his clean opponent, and even though Plluso lost the match, he lost none of the pop ularity with which he is blessed locally. The Gold Hill toughie fouled, punched, kicked and bulled Pl luso around the ring for 13 min utes before pinning him with a body press for the first fall. Kenaston's most effective "hold" in this session was a blow to the small of Plluso's back, and he used lots of them. Irked, Plluso didn't waste time evening the count. When the bell rang for the second heat, Ernie started blasting sonnenbergs and Kenaston went down for the count In just 30 seconds. The third stanza didn't last long, as Kenaston worked Pl luso over with painful leg and arm holds. sunDlementeH hv more foul stuff. Piluso whin- ped out of a leg breaker and fired two sonnenbergs that flat tened the villain, but Kenaetnn dodged the third and slapped on a Gold Hill crab to take the deciding fall. Prince Selakl Mehalikls won the opening match from Jimmy Mitchell, alias the Black Pan ther, in two straight falls. The Prince used a dragon scissors In the second round, forcing Mitchell to give up, and he came right back with a leg breaker in the third canto to wind up the affair. It was a clean, scientific match. Don Sugal of Salem, flashy Japanese matman, came from behind to defeat Indian Frankie Clemens, after the latter open ed the scoring in the first round with a fall via a figure four leg-breaker. ........................
