f CENTRAL POINT SOFTBALUERS WIN 7-0 IN PLAY-OFF OPENER; FRACAS TONIGHT With Hurler Vern Oollins scheduled to toss his fourth game in five nights, the Central Point Softball crew will gun for a vic tory tonight that will earn it the District No. 8 championship. Last night the Pointers blasted Grants Pass 7 to 0 at Grants Pass in the first game of a two-out-of- three series for the district dia dem. Tonight's engagement will be on the Rledford high stadium turf. It will follow a 7:30 p.m. girls' skirmish. The gals' tussle between the Crater Babes and Eagle Point will also be a cham pionship affair. The Babes beat Central Point 13 to 3 last night and Eagle Point downed Butte Falls to gain a deadlock for the Medford Softball association women's title. One-Hiller Collins, throwing his third con flict in four nights last night, turned in a one-hitter for his shutout. Only four Grants Pass men got on base. The CP ehuck er appeared in great shape de- spue his iron man duty and his drop was functioning effectively in the seven-inning mix.- Central Point obtained two of its runs in the third inning on doubles by Ralph Pettit and Dar rell Copeland and an error. Two errors, a walk, a fielder's choice and hits by Pettit and Homer Sullivan brought four runs in the fifth stanza. A bingle by Jack Daugherty, stolen bases and a flyout by Lee Flink scored the final run in the sixth. 3rd Game Possible Grants Pass still has big hopes in the play-off series and could send the contention into a third game by winning tonight. The third hassle, if required, will be played at 8 p.m. on Saturday at the Medford stadium. The climate city nine took steps to make an alVout effort tonight.

The husky right hander, call ed upon to relieve Ben Wade in the fifth inning, went on to score his seventh win against two de feats, 7 to 5, in a victory that left Brooklyn 5M games in front of the Giants. New York had taken the afternoon game of the doubleheaden 8 to 2 and the situation was growing acute as far as the Brooks were con cerned. Three-Run Komer "I wanted to beat those guys real bad," he said. "When I went in there I heard Durocher say 'Let's get this coke up guy, "he won't be in there long'." Black, whose specialty is what he calls a "wiener curve too big to be a slider and too small to be a curve" got by nicely af ter serving Whitey Lockman a three-run home run ball. The guy who has pitched in 34 games this year in relief roles, said to his team mates: "We play the Giants a doubleheader on Sept. 8. That means Sept. 9 is Joe Black day. I want all of you guys to contribute." Biggest Contribution Manager Charley Dressen agreed that Black's contribution was the biggest of all,, despite Roy Campanella's first inning grandslam homer and second inning homers by Billy Cox and Jackie Robinson, which put them ahead to stay. The Giants cashed in on four unearned runs in the first game as Henry Thompson hit a two- run homer and Alvin Dark and Davey Williams got three hits apiece. It looked as if the Brooks might be on the run again in the nightcap until Black settled things. Dark hit safely in the nighter, too, to pro long his consecutive game streak to 22,. two short of Stan Musial's Smith was removed to save him for tonight's affair. Don Schneider, Medford, slat ed to umpire behind the plate tonight and Don Hedgepeth, Grants Pass, on the bases.

Face Phillies The Dodgers, who now must play the hot Phillies six games hi four days, derived no comfort from the fact the no-longer quaking Quakers topped the Braves 2 to 1 and 10 to 2. The Cards beat the Reds 7 to 4 in the only other National League game. In the American League, the Yankees stayed three games ahead of idle Cleveland by split ting with Washington, winning 7 to 1 after losing 4 to 2. The third place Red Sox, five games behind, and beginning a three game series with the Yankees tonight, also split, losing 7 to 5 at Philadelphia, then winning 8 to 4.

Oaks7 Edge In Loop Now Ha If -Game San Francisco U.F9 The baseballs being used in the Pa cific Coast league this season may be deader than usual, but the game itself certainly isn't. There was nothing moribund, for example, about the 23,497 fans who paid their ways into Wrigley field Thursday night to see Hollywood outscore the Los Angeles Angels, 6-5. Jamming the aisles with one of the largest masses of human ity in the history of the park, the throng raised to more than 45,000 the number who have seen the clubs play four games this week. And that, in this era of clickless turnstiles, isn't bad. Record Near Wrigley Field had seen larger crowds for exhibition games but the biggest previous attendance for a regular league game there was 23,088 in 1949. The Angels and Stars will have set a league series attend ance mark, for this season at least, when they conclude hostil ities Sunday. Happily, the big turnout was treated to a thrilling game. The Angels had homers by Ron Northey, Max West his 22nd and Les Peden, while catcher Man gan clubbed one for the Stars. Portland Wins Peden's poke, in the ninth, brought the Angels within one run of victory and raised high the pitch of excitement among the compressed onlookers. Hollywood, tied for second place with San Diego, advanced to within one-half game of Oak land's league lead. The Acorns were -stopped by Portland, 4-1, on homers by Eddie Basinski and Frankie Austin. I The sizzling Padres of Lefty O'Doul kept pace - by downing San Francisco, 4-3. In other ac-j tion, Seattle trimmed Sacramen to, 4-1.

August , 1952 --.- MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Little Men Lead at Tarn Chicago U.R Golfs little men were the ones to beat Fri day as nearly every star of the game opened the second round of Tam O'Shanter's "world" tournament, aiming for the gi gantic $25,000 first prize. Only one of the first four leaders was listed among the top 25 money winners oU 1952, Roberto de "Vicenzo, ranked only 21st among the money -winners with but $5,020.47 to his credit this year, was merely tied for third place in the rich event. Front-runners were Lew Wor sham, ittsburgh, and Pete Coop er, White Plains, N. Y., each aiming for his first 1952 tourna ment victory. Slap 65' Worsham and Cooper slapped out 7-under-par 65's Thursday, each showing exceptional clip ping and putting skill. Worsham could have chal lenged Lloyd Mangrum's course record of 63, except that he missed two putts of eight feet and another of six which would have given himtwo birdies and an eagle, had they dropped. Even in the group of five at 68, three strokes behind the leaders, the luster of the stafs was missing. Julius Boros, Na tional Open champion from Mid Pines, N. C, who was 11th among the money winners with $9,332.97 -was deadlocked here with Dave Douglas, Newark, Del.; Earl Stewart Jr., Dallas; Jim Ferrier, Chicago, and Mario Gonzales, Rio de Janeiro.
