Andy's Jewelers became the whiz kids of the Medford Soft ball association Wednesday night when they rose up from a cel lar position and knocked Mobil gas from the men's league lead ership in the biggest upset of the season. The Jeweler's, mostly Medford high boys, won 7 to 6 to rise to a sixth place deadlock in the nine team standings- and pull the Flying Red Horsemen down to third place in the circuit.

A four-run rampage in the sixth frame won the game for Andy's. The scoring broke up a 3 to 3 knot. Andy's utilized four walks, singles by Curt Holz gang and John Niles, a double by Ned Landers, an error, wild pitch and a stolen base. GASMEN THREATEN Mobilgas almost overtook the Jewelers in the seventh stanza with a three run rally on hits by Wilkinson and Donahoe, three errors and a wild pitch. It was a tense inning with fans on the edges of their seats until the final out. Mobilgas got a run in the sec ond inning on a hit by Ron'Sing ler and a couple of errors but Andy's went on top 2 to 1 in the same canto, utilizing a hit by Anderson, two walks, a fielder's choice and two errors for a pair of runs.

Among the favorites will be Frank Danley, Yreka, main event winner in the California city two weeks consecutively, and Bernie Miller, Grants Pass, victor in the big event here last week. The track, slick last, week, is expected to be in better shape this time and the usual number of thrills, spills and smash-ups are foreseen. Despite all the bumps and bangs, hardtop car racing is con sidered safe. The vehicles are specially built to stand up under hard knocks and to protect the drivers.
