There is a sharp cleavage be tween second and third place in the Far West league 5Vs games to be exact. In top spot is Red ding, 4V4 games away from Klamath Falls in second place.

Russ Roseburg got his third home run in as many evenings in tne second game. Reno defeated Willows 6 to 4 a rain-swept, windv first game. The second contest of the doubleheader was cancelled.

Following the tourna ment, Tim Monohan of the Bos ton Traveler wrote, "Echols, a smiling Irish-Indian, was prob ably the straightest puncher in the tournament and one of the toughest. Hitting with either hand, he has a killer instinct to finish his opponents and fights harder when hurt himself." "He's the best fighter I have seen in this tournament since Joey Maxim won in 1938." stated South Boston's Tommy Sullivan. Quiet Out of Ring Out of the ring Echols is said to be quiet and shy but in the ring he is a straight-up, lightning fighting machine who s p 1 a t s rights and lefts until his oppon ent drops. One of his faults is said to be overanxiousness but he's learned that boxing is a give and take deal. He has been on the losing end of but five of his 62 bouts and has never been knocked out which is more than 24 of hi opponents can say. In meeting Halsev Echols will be up against a bobbing and weaving mixer who carries dyna mite in either fist and will be all out to keep his record of no losses in Medford intact. "It's my lucky town," Halsey says. Outstanding Card Burdette said an outstanding supporting card will be offered with the first match to go on at 8:30 p.m. There will be but one intermission, lust before the main event, Burdette said, add ing that the next fighters will move into the ring immediately upon completion of the previous bout. The step is being made to speed up the program, a fault which has drawn some com plaint on previous cards. Tickets will go on sale tomor row at Brown's cafe and Lam port's sporting goods store. Bantam Ben Hogan Blazes Way To National Open Golf Title IPrflKamMasaesaaaaaiM I in nil 1 (.: Ardmore, Pa., June 12 (U.R) Comeback Ben Hogan, just a little more than 16 months out of what looked like his deathbed. was Mr. Golf again today and the performance charts and beat en Lloyd Mangrum admitted It. Hogan is the greatest golfer in the world." In those words. Mangrum shrugged off the "little green bug" which cost him two vital strokes and any chance he might have had to win the CSoldcn An niversary National Open. For Mangrum, along witli George Fazio, died in Morion's "death valley" late yesterday afternoon. Course Treacherous That death valley covers the final four holdes of that rugged. treacherous course, one which proved much too tough for the other 163 golfers who teed off in the first round Thursday. But not too touch for com petitive men. He didn't need any breaks, he won this one on his own and it made him feel "even better than I did when I won my first open back in 1948 at the Riviera Country club at Los Angeles." This was my biggest thrill, he said, "and I'm really awfully glad that those two strokes Lloyd lost on that 16th green penalty didn't make the difference. He's a great golfer and a fine guy and the last one in the world who would try to take advan tage of anyone. But he broke a rule, and took it like a man. and came out short. But he I'm glad for him. and for me. chipped to within 15 feet of the that it didn't figure in the final J pin. Just as he was about to outcome." 69 for Hogan That outcome was a 69. one under par, for Hogan; a 73 for Mangrum and a 75 for Fazio in their 18-hole playoff for the open championship. They had tied at the end of the 72 holes of regulation play Saturday with 287s. Mangrum, who like Hogan was shooting for his second open BEN HOGAN Wins National Open title, was scrambling all the way. But with a lot of putting luck, he was only one strike down to Bantam Ben Fazio was four down as they teed off for the itun noie. On the 15th, the start of a golfer's nightmare, Mangrum had shot a birdie three to mit him back in the running. Then came that big 16th. Ho gan put his second shot on the green of the par four 445-yard hole. Mangrum had sliced his drive to the left in the rough putt he noticed that "little green bug" on his ball. He swung hi puotter over the ball, hoping to wave off the bug. But he failed. So without thinking ha picked up the ball, blew off the bug, put it back down and pro ceeded to sink the putt. Violated Rule It looked then like his par halved the hole with Hogan; for Ben had needed two putta to get down. But Isaac T. Grainger, chair man of the United States Golf association rules committee, came right up and advised Man grum he was being penalized two strokes for picking up the ball "while in play." "But that didn't make any difference," said Mangrum later. "You just can't beat a guy like Hogan. They can talk about Bob by Jones and golfers like that, but for my money. Hogan's the best and that's all there is to it." Bargain of the Week I 1949 Model S Case Tractor with Lights, Starter.
