The Coos Bay-North Bend
Lumberjacks closed the distance
between themselves and the
Drain Black Sox in Southwest
ern Oregon loop activity last
week.
The Lumberjacks grabbed two
triumphs, 8 to 1 and 7 to 2, from
Drain to rise to within two
games of the loop pacing Sox.
Coos Bay did again what no
other crew has been able to ac
complish in Sawdust loop ac
tion beat the Black Sox.. And
the Jacks have made a clean
sweep of their four league games
with Drain.
Both Coos Bay and Drain have
six games left and the bay team
hopes Bandon, Brookings, and
Roseburg, the three remaining
Draui rivals, can help them catch
the Sox.
Studs, Bandon, Win
Bandon and Medford copped
twin victories over the week-end
to stay knotted for third spot,
only a game behind Coos Bay.
Bandon beat Coquille 7 to 2 and
8 to 5 and Medford nicked
Brookings 8 to 7 and 6 to 5.
Roseburg was idle.
Medford's Cheney Studs
draw a loop bye this coming
week-end. There have been sug
gestions that the Studs play
the Central Point Millers in a
Sunday afternoon ruckus. The
Millers, who have been itching
all season for a mix with the
Studs, have completed their
Rogue Valley league season.
The Jewelers used three, errors,
a single by Ned Landers, a walk,
a passed ball and a sacrifice for
three sixth inning runs.
Gasman Tally
Hits by Jerry Knapp, Bob
Steele and Curt Holzgang
brought another run in the sev
enth and two more crossed in
the ninth on a single by John
Niles, a walk and a triple by
Holzgang.
Mobilgas scored in the sixth
inning when Bill Singler reach
ed first base on a hit, advanced
on an error and a hit by. Bill
Werner and came home when
Werner was thrown out try
ing to swipe second base.
Andy's pitcher, Ted Landers,
ran into his most trouble in the
eighth inning. With two men out
he walked two batters. An er
ror loaded the bases and then
Landers walked a Gasman to
force in the last Mobilgas run
of the evening.
Central Point Favored
Central Point will rule the
favorite tonight over Andy's,
which wound up fourth at the
conclusion of the regular loop
schedule. But, if the Jewelers
display the same hustle and
spark they have in most of their
recent combats, the Pointers will
be up against stiff competition.
In the previous loop meeting
of the two teams, Central Point
blanked the Jewelers 8 to 0 as
Lee Flink hurled two-hit ball
and fanned 11 batters in five in
nings. Fans should find tonight's
preliminary interesting also.
Camp White beat Mobilgas in
earlier league play.

Shantz Goes
After No. 20
Philadelphit (U.R) Bitsy
Bobby Shantz, the winningest
pitcher in the majors, shoots for
his 20th victory . of the season
Tuesday night "and the distinc
tion of beating every team in
the American League.
The scale model southpaw of
the Philadelphia Athletics, with
a victory, run of fiVe straight
since the All-Star game, goes
for the big two-oh against the
Boston Red Sox, the only team
he hasn't faced this season.
Wee Bobby, the mighty mole
cule with the 1.53 earned run
average, won his 19 games
against three losses by beating
St. Louis four times and the oth
er six" clubs three times, Oddly
enough, it never was his turn to
pitch in the seven games the A's
and Red Sox have played to
date.

1956 Olympics Contests
Helsinki (U.R) Russia
served notice Tuesday that it
was out to achieve its Olympic
objective winning the 1956
games at Melbourne, Australia
and judging from their per
formance here, they' may well
attain it. ,
As a matter of fact, the sur
prise of the 1952 games here was
the unexpectedly strong show
ing made by Russia and the
other five Communist countries.
Learned a Lot -
A Russian spokesman, . al
though disappointed that the
Soviets did not win the games
after piling a huge lead oyer
the U.S., thanks to its men and
women gymnasts, said the games
had taught them a' lot and had
strengthened' the championship

The Russians also revealed
they will keep pressing the In

Trotter Nine
On Thursday
Built up6n- the same prin
ciples sterling playing ability
and brilliant showmanship that
have made the Harlem Globe
trotters of basketball the hottest
attraction in the entire sports
world, the touring novelty base
ball team of the same name and
ownership comes to Medford on
Thursday, August 7, to con'
tend with the Cheney Studs at
the fairgrounds at 8 p.m.
This is the sixth season in ac
tion for Abe Saperstein's pep
pery Globetrotters- of . the dia
mond, and the celebrated men
tor is authority for the state
ment that it's the best ball club
be has ever put on the road.
After compiling a five-season
record of 531 wins against only
106 defeats, the baseball Globe
trotters were not placed in ac
tion last year as Saperstein was
busy squiring his world-famed
cagers on an all-summer tour of
South America, Europe and
North Africa.
Demand Heavy
The demand for appearances
of his baseball club throughout
North America has been so
heavy, however, that Saperstein
decided to return it to action. He
placed W. S. Welch, his ace base
ball lieutenant, ix charge as
manager and a fine crop of ball
players was 'assembled. The re
sult has been a team bristling
with power and hustle that has
proved a hit everywhere it has
thus far appeared.
Recognized universally as one
of th top showmen of the era,
Saperstein, who demands that
anything bearing his name be of
the best, is leaving no stone un
turned to make certain 1952
baseball aggregation is a sure
crowd-pleaser. Many of the
players who will be seen in ac
tion here are certain bets for
places in the major leagues in
the not too distant future.
Saperstein himself is a stock
holder and a top talent scout
in Bill Veeck's St. Louis
Browns Organization.
Prior to Veeck's assuming the
presidency of the Browns, he
and Saperstein were associated
in the front office affairs of the
Cleveland Indians. It was Sap
erstein who signed such players
as ' Larry Doby, Luke Easter,
Orestes Minoso, Harry Simpson
and Satchel Paige for the In
dians. f

to adopt officially the European
point scoring system used by
Russia. It differs from the un
official American system in that
it awards only seven points for
first place instead of 10. Oth
erwise, it is the same, five for
second, four for third, three for
fourth, two for fifth and one
for sixth.
U.S. Won Both
However, the U.S. won the
1952 games under both sys
tems. One of those impressed by the
performances ot the Russians
was Brutus Hamilton, coach of
the U.S. track and field team.
"They have come a long
way," he said. "They are in per
fect physical condition and it is
evident they are coaching under
American field tactics prob
ably from motion pictures
but they had done a thorough
and efficient job of it."

However, Medford boys came
in for eleven money places, in
cluding firsts by Jesse Nether
land and Rod Thompson, and
two seconds for Bob Kodat.
Pushes Leader
Roy Deutschman was pushing
the leader, Dick Mills of Grants
Pass, in the big main event, up
to the 10th lap, at which time
Deutschman's brakes went out
on him. Even so he finished in
fifth place, with eleven of the 16
starters having eliminated them
selves in crashes, - blowouts and
spin-outs.
Art St. Germaine, Central
Point, won the semi-main, Ken
ney Taylor, Talent, was second
and Ernie , Groth, Medford,
third. Netherlands win was in
the consolation run. Rod Thomp
son, Medford, won the third heat
and Kodat's seconds were in the
final and fourth heats.
Accidents took a fearful toll
in most events, but the cause
this week was simply hard driv

There had been signs of a? real
