Rhubarb Pie Dished As LA.-Oaks Clash San Francisco, June 26 U.R) Fans at the Los Angeles-Oakland baseball sideshow Sunday were served the choicest dish of rhu barb pie yet seen this season in the Pacific Coast league. At Emeryville park things were going well for tall, grey- eyed Bob Muncrief. Of course the Angels had dropped the open er to the Oaks, 11 to 1, but this nightcap was a different thing. Med ford Tennis Team Defeated By Klamath Falls Klamath Falls tennis players nicked the Medford city team 5 to 4 yesterday, taking four of the six singles tangles and one of three doubles matches. The top match of the day was not the one publicized. Ron Low ell, and Howard Dugan, Med ford, stole the limelight from Ken Karns of Pelican town and Dugan's teammate, Tod Tlbbutt. Young Lowell lost his opening set 4-6 but struggled back to nip Dugna 7-5, The pay-off set went 22 games with Lowell finally winning 12-10 to take the match. Tlbbutt topped Karns 6-4, 6-4.

Lead Switched But George Metkovich tripled to send home Mel Duezabou and Artie Wilson with the tieing and leading runs. That was bad, but not disastrous, because the lead had been switching back and forth all afternoon. L Muncrief threw the next pitch and tnen heard the most nated word in the umpire vocabulary, "balk!" Muncrief objected mild ly. He had committed only two this balk-batty season, and this one just wasn't another, he said. But with calm authority Umpire Pat Orr sent Metkovich home to score. Secure in the Oakland dugout, Metkovich was suddenly con fronted with greetings from Umps Bill Doran and Ed Runge. Back to third, they ordered. "That there wasn t no balk. Back to third went weary George. Metkovich wanted to get back to the dugout hideaway, so on the next pitch he stole home ward, Muncrief whipped the ball to Catcher Rube Novotney, who tapped George out. "Balk!" Plate Umpire Doran screamed. He glanced at the stone countenances of Orr and Runge. They nodded solemnly. So again Metkovich's score flash ed on the boards. Swarms of Seraphs clustered around the firm gentlemen in the tight black suits. Cries of an guish from Angelic throats. Tears fell on cherubic cheeks. Surely, the gentlemen were jok ing. But with the solidity of silent redwoods, the umpires stood un moved. It was a balk. With the starch gone from their wings, the An gels folded and Oakland won the second game, 7 to 5. Other Teams Split Elsewhere in the league dou- bleaheders were evenly divided. Hollywood won the first game over San Francisco, 4 to 3, and the Seals took the second, 8 to 7.

Tomorrow the Rogues go to Willows to open a three-game series and then play four at Marysville before returning here against Reno on July 4. By Hank Green Medford's Rogues today were in a virtual tie for third place in the Far West league as the result of sweeping a double header from the Marysville Peaches last night 3 to 1 and 8 to 3 at the fairgrounds park. Only .001 of a percentage Badin, N. C, 10 and 8. point separates the Rogues from the third-place Pittsburg Dia monds this morning. LaVerre Herrman did the hurling chores in the curtain raiser last night with a three hit pitching masterpiece. The Rogues made all three of their runs in the first inning on walks to Don Williams and Bob Had dock, Jack Cooney's single and Chuck Freeman's double. Seventh Victory The Central Point youth didn't walk a man and the only balls to go out of the infield by Marysville were the hits made by the Californians. It was Herrmann's seventh victory against nine losses ttiis season. Mike Kanshin. the former Western International league hurier. got credit for the vic tory in the second game of the twin bill as he came to relieve Bill Francis in the second in ning and allowed but two hits and no runs.
