Bottler Winning Hurler as Tyees Take Twin Bill By UNITED PRESS The Vancouver juggernaut was stalled in its drive toward the top of the Western Interna tional League Thursday night, but the Victoria express rolled merrily along. The islanders increased their lead to 13 games by taking two from Spokane, 5-4 and 5-3. Lew iston rose up to sweep Vancouv er, 6-1 and 5-3. In single games, Wenatchee beat Tri-City, 12-7, and Salem edged Yakima, 8-7. The rampaging Tyees jumped off with four runs in the third inning of the opener but Spo kane came back to tie it in the ninth. Victoria won it in its half of the ninth when Lou Branham singled and scored on Manager Cece Garriott's single. In the windup, Bill Bottler pitched three-hit ball to his brother Ron behind the plate. Both are on option from Port land. The Tyees made good use of 13 bases on balls issued by Indian hurlers.

One plan subject to considera tion is one which would open the entire Deschutes game re fuge to hunting this fall. The large refuge in the Paulina mountains south of Bend was established in 1913 and commis sion experts have reported heavy increases in the number of deer in the protected area with a resulting decrease of available growse. The commission was consider ing an open season on bucks only, claiming that a surplus would iustify the "harvest" of some of them.

MIKESELL, Sec, COURTHOUSE, ALBANY, OREGON MjTZjKwomm tern oaru& mum Helsinki (U.PJ The ambi tion born 16 years ago in the heart of an awed adolescent paid off Friday for a man who never quit when faced with frustra tion. That is the success saga of slender Harrison Dillard. And his victory in the Olympic 110 meter hurdles marked the end of a dedicated journey far long er than the distance between his native Cleveland, Ohio, and the winners' tribune in Helsinki's sprawling stadium. Trip Started in 1936 For this was a troublous trip which started in 1936 and wend ed its anxious way through the perils of war in Italy, heart break in London and four fran tic years of added waiting. It all started for Dillard the day 16 years ago when the great Jesse Owens went back to Cleveland after his triumphs in the international games at Ber lin. "I was 12 years old at the time," Dillard recalled as he clutched that long-coveted gold medal in one hand and the win ner's bunch of red and white carnations in the other. "They held a big parade for Jesse and was sitting on a curbstone when he went by. "He was sitting in a big black car," Harrison recalled, a smile on his face but a faraway look in his eyes. "He was wearing a black pin stripe suit. Jesse was waving at everybody and they were pretty wild over it all. Made Up Mind "That was when I made up my mind to come to the Olymp ics," Dillard said. In the days that followed, Dil lard went back to his classroom at East Tech High School the same school from which Owens had gone forth just a few years before and concentrated hard er than ever on his studies. He wanted nothing to bar him from track competition. As the years passed, Dillard's fame began to spread. The skin ny kid filled out into a young man with lean, ropy muscles and long legs which swept him swiftly over the hurdles. That's when he took his first detour around his desires. For there was a war. And young Dil lard went into the Army for 32 months. His "hitch" included 16 months as an infantryman in Italy. Failed in Hurdles Back again, he picked up where he left off as a budding national track figure at Baldwin-Wallace College. Soon he was regarded as the peer of the world's hurdlers. But he failed to qualify for the 1948 Olympic trials in his specialty. In desper ation, he tried out for the 100 meter dash, made the squad and was a surprise winner of the sprint at London. He explained, "I wanted the hurdles championship on which I had set my heart so long ago." The four-year interim passed slowly. Dillard is 29 now, an age of decision for athletes. And he knew it was now or never as far as the Olympics were concerned Admitting that he had lost some of his "sheer speed" since the London games, he said: "I figured that by the time I'm 33 four years from now I'd have enough of this," he said. "And I figured I could win." Got New Record He got the start he wanted and a new Olympic record of 13.7 stands. So Harrison Dillard is a satis fied man as he gets ready to go back to Cleveland. There will probably be a parade in his hon or. And it wouldn't be a surprise if he wore a black pin-striped suit. it would start all over again with another youngster sitting on the curb watching him go by But the kid will need plenty of what Harrison Dillard had. Southern Oregon Junior Baseball The Medford Cubs defeated Grants Pass, 12 to 6, in a con test played last night. The Med ford team out-hit the losers by the same 12 to 6 margin in the loosely played contest, which saw 7 errors committed, three by the winners. Wednesday night the Medford Pee Wees dropped a 6 to 3 con test to the Grants Pass Pee Wee nine. Both teams collected only three hits each, but the Grants Pass club took advantage of five Medford errors to gain the win. In other Thursday night Cub contests, Phoenix forfeited to Eagle Point and Jacksonville for feited to Ashland.
