New Champion Comes From
Far Behind To Capture
Fifth Tourney Diadem.
Medford's Eddie Simmons cap
tured his fifth Southern Oregon
Golf tournament championship
at the Rogue Valley Golf club
Monday by dethroning the de
fending champion, Leland (Pete)
Clark. Medford, 3 and 2, In a
38-hole final match that saw the
new tltleholder come from far
behind to close out the duel on
the 34th green with a brilliant
birdie three.
Four down to Clark on the
21st, and never ahead through
out the morning's play and most
of the afternoon round, Sim
mons finally squared the match
on the 28th with a birdie two
and won the 32nd, 33rd and
34th to end the struggle.
Simmons came through with
on of the four-day tourna
ment's best shots to clinch mat
ters. On the 365-yard 16th hole
he laid his second poke to with
in 10 Inches of the pin, from 70
yards out, and Clark, who had
putted 12 feet past the cup on
his third shot, conceded the hole
and match.
On the morning 18 It looked
like Clark, who has never beat
en Simmons in five tournament
tries three times In the semi
finals and twice in the finals
would finally kill his jinx. He
fnl6hed the first round two up
and one-putted the 19th and 21st
for par fours to go four up.
But Simmons, on the 23rd,
engineered the shot that was
probably the turning point of
the match. Clark chipped up
over a bunker from 35 feet to
find the bottom of the can for a
great birdie three to apparently
So five up. Simmons, 'always a
money player, then tapped home
a 30-footer for another birdie to
halve the hole.
That seemed to break Clark's
heart, and after they halved the
24th Simmons won the 25th with
a nar four and the 26th with a
par three to chop Clark's leader-'
ship to one up. They halved the
27th, both taking sixes, and Sim
mons finally squared the match
on the 28th with a 10-foot putt
for a birdie two.
They both had fours on the
29th, 30th and 31st. Then came
the 32nd, which Simmons cap
tured to take the lead for the
first time. Simmons' third shot,
from 10 feet off the green,
stopped two feet from the cup
and he promptly holed It for a
par four while Clark was taking
a five.
Eddie shot a par four on the
33rd to Clark's five, to make It i
two up, and the match ended
on the next green

Warm weather brings with
it new responsibilities for
tire users. When streets and
roads are hot, tires wear
faster, weak spots show up
quickly, and it's easy to ruin
a tire that proper car might
bare aired. Regardless of
the make of tires you are
now using, drive in and let
us inspect them thoroughly
before hot weather has a
chaoce to take its toll.
HELPING GET MOST MILES FROM YOUR TIRES
THAT'S OUR BUSINESS!
UVU repair weak spots, and if the treads are worn
smooth we'll advise you just when they should be
recapped. We'll check for misalignment, wheels out
of balance, brakes out of adjustment and the many
other rubber wasting factors that are hard to detect
but which rob you of precious mileage.

Two Yankee rookies sparked
the Yankees into the league lead

the world series. The McCarthy
men were none too well off in
the pitching department so the
experts thought with their star

yesterday. But with five games
in three days, Manager Joe Mc
Carthy had no choice but to use
his rookies yesterday. And Walt
Dubiel and Mel Queen came
through with brilliant five-hit
performances.
Detroit romped through the
Chicago White Sox in the first
of two games, little Frank Over

while his mates gathered 20 for

The Boston Red Sox stopped
Washington, 11-7, only to lose
