Bv Hank Green Medford's Rogues exploded tnr three runs in the eighth in ninB last night after LaVerre Hprrmann had hurled near per- iM hall to hold the Willows r-nrrfinals at bay and the local Far West league club copped its ir.t uli-inrv in nine games, this im hv 5 to 2. Thu nonular Central Point youth limited the Cards to seven hits and two unearned runs as he rana ud his 10th victory .oalrnt five defeats in 1950, Except in the first and eighth innings Herrmann never was in serious trouble, although leadoff mpn in the second and sevemn frames got hits but never got beyond second base. A nifty double play from Herrmann to Haddock to Cooney stopped one Card rally. Freeman Geit Three Church Freeman, Medford's iur rpnterfielder. rapped out three line hits in four trips to further indicate he will be a tough batter to get out. He also made a nice running catch at his knees of a sinking line drive to the fifth. The Rogues' three winning runs in the eighth inning started as Don Williams walked, went to third as Bob Haddock reached first on an error and scored as Johnny Popovich singled to left eenter. Milt Martin and Lloyd Jones reached on fielder's choices and each scored as Jack Cooney lined a single to left center. The hit by Popovich was a beauty and caught Willows com pletely off guard. The Cards third baseman and first base man had pulled way in on the infield grass expecting a bunt and the shortstop was covering second base very close when Pop ovich grounded the ball through the infield about where the shortstop would play. Firit Time Here The Rogues had tried this play several times in games played here but each time it missed fire for one reason or another. On the road Medford had had more success. Medford picked up one run in the first stanza when Russ Stuart walked, went to third as Freeman lined a single to left IteDFOHM .TRIBlfNi Little Baseball Loop Described by United Press Staff Reporter By Herman W. Nicholt United Press Correspondent Washington, June 22 U.R Lt. Gov. William T. Carroll of Connecticut came home one night and saw his son, Jimmy, in the back yard. The boy was rig ged up in a baseball uniform and wore a fielder's mitt in his hip pocket. Where to?" asked the No. 2 man of Connecticut. "On my way to practice with the Little league baseball team," Jimmy replied. "Give you a lift?" asked his dad. Sissy Tag Feared Naw," said the boy, "I II dog trot it. The guys might think I'm a sissy." Thats the way it is in the Lit tle league, which is made up of boys from eight to 12 with no re spect for race, creed or color. No sissies. It's a non-profit organization with leagues in 37 states. One of the directors, who takes an ac tive' part, if Ford Frick, presi dent of the National league.

Time of Same 1:40. Straight Kentucky Bourbon in all its Glory! m standard-sized playing field. The diamond Is tailored to fit young lungs and young legs. The distance between home plate and the pitcher's box is 40 feet, four inches, instead of 60 feet. The run between bases has been cut to junior size and the barrier or spot where a chap can connect for a home run is only 180 feet. The kids this year are beating their young brains out. There will be a Little league world series August 23 to 26 at Williamsport, Pa. Col. W. H. (Cappy) Wells, who is plugging the league, told me all about it. Started in 1938 He said the Little league start ed in 1938. The kids pay no dough but if a sponsor wants to get into the swim he puts up a couple of hundred bucks for uni forms and he has a team on his hands. Then he has to get a local volunteer to manage the boys. The U. S. Rubber company is putting in a hunk of the overall dough, too. The various leagues locally at least operate something like the big leagues, except they work on a point system instead of a dollar system. . Say in Cleveland, 36,000 theo retical points are pitched into a pool. So many points for a play er. A pitcher with a 15-1 record might command top points and so on down the line. According to Cappy, the per formance has proved an interest ing experiment in democracy. Miss DeMoss Eliminated Denver, June 22.
