Including a dou leheader Sunday night. By Hank Green Some nifty relief pitching in the fifth inning by newcomer Pete Jonas went for naught as he lost his control in the next stanza and three walks combined with a single and a Rogues' er ror helped give Willows a 6 to 4 victory here last night. Jonas, who was signed only yesterday, took over the hurling chores from starter Bill Francis with the bases full and only one out and struck out the next two men. However, the next inning the former Pacific Coast leaguer walked the first two to face him and with one out a single, an other walk and an error gave the Cards two runs and the game. They got but one more hit off Jonas after that sixth inning. Medlord bcorei I wo Medford in the meantime picked up a pair of runs in the first stanza when Russ Stuart singled and was forced at second by Johnny Popovicri who reach' ed first base when the first base man dropped the ball on a try for a double play. Don Williams drove a ground er at the shortstop who fumbled the ball, allowing Popovich to score and then Williams crossed the plate as Bob Haddock tripled to right. On this last hit the rightfielder missed a shoestring catch and the ball rolled to the fence. Two more crossed the plate for Medford in the third in ning as Popovich led off with a line single to left center, was forced at second by Centerfleld- er Chuck Freeman, Haddock lined a single to right and Lloyd Jones lined a double off the left centerfield fence.

At a recent organization meet ing of the league Bill Gates was elected president and Jean Eber hart, secretary. Start Learning Early Eberhart explained that through this Pee Wee league it is hoped to start boys in learning baseball while they still are young, thereby giving them an opportunity to work through the 12-year-olds through the 15-year-olds, Junior Legion, etc. Each town is represented by a 12-year-old team and by a 15-year-old. Medford may provide the eighth team, evidently de pending on how much interest there is aroused when the Sum mer Baseball school opens next Monday. Games next Monday night will send Medford to Jacksonville. Ashland to Talent and Phoenix to Eagle Point. Central Point will draw the bye. Snead, Mangrum Favored in PGA Columbus, O., June 21 (U.R) Defending Champion Sam Snead and Pistol-Hot Lloyd Mangrum were the gallery fa vorites today as 128 of the na tion's top professional golfers swung into the opening qualify ing round of the 32nd PGA championship. Eighteen holes today and an other 18 tomorrow will slash the field to 64 for the deadly business of man against man match play beginning Friday. Snead doesn't have to qualify for his match play berth but he'll play along both days as part of his grim campaign to play himself back into the win ning form that put him at the top of the heap on the PGA's official money winning list with $20,861. Ten former winners and all eight of last year's quarter-finalists were listed in the draw although Johnny Revolta of Evanston, 111., champion in 1935, was a doubtful starter. STANDINGS Texans Down Cougars, 12-1; Even Series Omaha. Neb.. June 21 (U.R) The University of Texas Long horns trampled the Washington State Cougars 12 to 1 last night to even the count in the Na tional Collegiate Athletic asso ciation baseball tournament. Texas bunched 15 hits effec tively to down the Cougars. It was Washington State's first de feat in the double-elimination tourney and left the Cougars and Longhorns with identical records of three victories and one defeat. Wisconsin eliminated Ala bama, 3 to 1, in the opening game of last night's double header to remain in the running with Texas, Washington State and Rutgers. Wisconsin and Rutgers each have won two and lost one. Sudden death faces losers from now on and either Wis consin or Rutgers will drop by the wayside when they clash in tonight's only contest. The winner tonight takes on Texas tomorrow night, and the winner of that contest meets Washington State in the finale Friday night. Pete Jonas New Pitcher Pete Jonas, baseball coach at Pacific university, Forest Grove, and former Pacific Coast and Western International league player joined the Medford Ro gues hurling corps yesterday and probably will be used mostly in relief work, Manager Tommy Nelson said. The veteran pitcher who play ed with Seattle of the PCL in 1946 and 1947 and also with Spo kane and ancouver. B.C., of the WIL, throws righthanded and bats lefthanded. Jonas is the fifth addition to the Rogues' squad since the lo lal club went on the road on June 9. Both Nelson and Business Manager Mel Carpenter indicat ed still other "player deals" are "on the fire" and more players may be added soon. Nelson said that Charles Free ma a rookie outfielder who Join ed the Rogues yesterday, will add more hitting power to the local outfield. He replaces Bill Adam who has been returned to El Centro from which he was on option here. New Echols Bout Sought Larry Burdette, matchmaker for the Southern Oregon Boxing club, said today that he has opened negotiations with Levi Mitchell, outstanding Chicago, 111., middleweight, to meet Wes Echols, national and European champion, in a five-round title fight at a big outdoor show here next month. Echols knocked out Bull Hal sey of Portland here Monday night in his Oregon debut. "I definitely have Echols for next month and his manager. Capt.
