The champs of the Medford Softball association won the tourney spot last night by bounc ing Bill's Place of Klamath Falls 12 to 4 at the Central Point high school field. It was the second victory for Central Point in the two-out-of three interdistrict play-off and it 'was the second night in a row that Central Point had stopped Bill's with a whopping single inning rally. On Tuesday, the Pointers pulled the game out of the fire with a seven-run burst in the final stanza. Last night, they shoved over eight runs in the fifth frame and the eight markers were the margin of tri umph. CP Takes Lead Central Point grabbed the lead in the first inning of the contest with two runs. Ralph Pettit walked, Ira Zirkle got on base on a grounder when First Baseman Jack Kemnezter drop ped the throw to his corner, Dar rell Copeland sacrificed, Pettit scored when Pitcher Darrel Sor- enson muffed Lee Fllnkfs grounder-and Zirkle tallied on Ken Knapp's groundout. In the second inning Central Point made the advantage 4 to 0 with a pair of markers. Joe Fenton and Homer Sullivan walked and Zirkle tripled. Bill's came back in the fourth canto when Dan Derrah and Bill Lawlor walked and Sorenson homered to cut the margin to 4 to 3. Bud Steinfer walked and was tripled home by Kemnezter to 'deadlock the score. Catcher Konked Knapp and Jack Dougherty led off Central Point's big inn ing with singles. Joe Fenton walked and then Homer Sulli van walked to force in a run. With the bases still loaded, Bill's called on Gus Vang to relieve Sorenson. One of Vang's warm- up tosses bounded crazily and hit Catcher Jim Derrah on the head. He also was replaced. But, the new battery could ndt halt the Pointer avalanche. Vang walked the first batter he faced, Bob Smith, to bring in another run. Pettit got on base on an error and Fenton scored Zirkle hit to drive in Sullivan and Smith. Flink doubled and Pettit and Zirkle romped home. Then, Flink came in with the eighth run of the frame on Dougherty's second hit of the evening, a two-bagger. Smith, pitching, and Knapp, playing third base, were rein forcements to the Central Point line-up from the Grants Pass Elks. Only two hits, a homer and a triple were recorded against Smith. He walked seven batsmen, hit two batters and struck out nine. For Bill's Soren son walked seven and Vang one. Sorenson hit one batter. Zirkle was the heavy stick man for Central Point with three for four. One hit was a triple. Dougherty cracked two for three, one a double. The Central Point squad will leave Saturday morning for Mill City and will play" its first game that evening. . Central Point won the Dis trict No. 8 championship while Bill's was tops in District No. 9. The Pointers ran up 23 wins against two losses to gain the regional honors. The Klamath Falls nine suffered its third de feat last night in 18 games. tINESCORE: Bill's Place 000 400 0 4 J 4 Central Point .220 080 x 12 7 1 Sorenson. Vang (5) and J. Derrah, Harris is).

Thursday, August 14, 19S2 life - MEDFORlVglk Johnny Bero Shines As Oaks Regain Lead San Francisco (U.R) Thurs- day it was Oakland's turn to lead the Pacific Coast league. The men of Mel Ott, with an assist from the lowly and under manned San Francisco Seals, re placed Hollywood a g a i n ast top dog. Shortstop Johnny Bero, a no toriously poor hitter with a .169 batting average, played Sam son with the willow last night, batting the Oaks to a 4-3 win over Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the Seals whipped Hollywood, 6-4, on Frankie Kalin's grand slam home run. Brovia .Homers Elsewhere, lumbering Joe Bro via clouted a four-bagger with two on in the eighth to get Port land a 4-3 nod over Seattle, and Sacramento scored three times in the ninth to down San Diego, 3-2. Bero hit a two-run homer.in the seventh frame and squeezed in the winning run in the eighth, for three RBI's. Outfielder Pete Milne also had a four-master in Oakland's seventh. The two hom ers neutralized a three-run An gel lead, built mainly on the ef fect of Chuck Connors' two-tally circuit poke in the third. Oak centerf ielder Sammy has four tussles remaining in regular action. Bandon, although now in fourth place in percentage, has one more win than Medford and only two games left. Therefore, the Millers can't be caught by Roseburg and have clinched a play-off position. Medford expects to be at full strength for the important Ban don series. Paul Gehrman, Clar ence Mellbye and Terry Mad dox will be on the pitching staff. Mellbye will be at first base if and when he doesn't pitch. Pete Bianchi, Alex McDonald . and Jack Gordon will be on hand for infield work with Don Faw cett, George Sanders and George Gitzen on hand on reserve. Bandon will present a potent batting array with five of its hitters among the top nine per centage leaders in the loop. They are Bill Burgher, catcher, .406; Chuck DeAutremont, outfielder, .356; Ray Stratton, outfielder, .333; Alva Brown, first base, .304; and Lee Shinn, .302, third base. Millers Have Liska The Miller, pitching staff in cludes Ad Liska, ex-Portland Beaver ace; Bailey Brem, from Oregon State college, and Bill Hanauska, ex-Willamette uni versity and veteran semi-pro star, with a reputation as a long ball hitter. So far as is known now, the series this week-end will be the final appearance on the home field for the Studs and will wind- up the baseball playing season ; at the fairgrounds park. The! Studs complete the regular slate i with a trip to Coos Bay the f ol- i lowing week. j 3 Softball conducting rapes at the airport speedway and top drivers of both tracks will be gunning for the money Friday. Among, the standout drivers from the airport track are Dick Mills, Fred Whaley, Bill Rosenbaum and Lou Kurz. Top competitors in the weekly runs at the. posse oval include Steele and Donny Hood, who drive midgets also, and Bernie Miller, Lou Smith, 'Rusty Phillips, Woody Thomason and Don Moore. (Al Lundquist Photo.) TWBUNS Chapman arranged the victory by singling, moving to second on a wild pitch, to third on an in field out and home on Bero's bunt. High Point Kalin's homer was the high point of a five-run Seal sixth in ning. Hollywood's Dick Cole tripled with the bags full in the same frame but his effort alone was insufficient to bring the Stars from behind. Brovia, the sleepy slugger from Davenport, Calif., climax ed Portland's come-from-behind drive. But while the hit decided the game it didn't end it by a long shot. The ninth frame was strategy packed, with Bevo manager Clay Hopper and Sud boss Bill Sweeney shifting hitters and pitchers with abandon. Lyman Linde, the third Portland pitch er of the inning and the fourth of the game, fanned Nanny Fer nandez to end the contest with two Sud runners on the paths. .

The two squads tangle in the annual August renewal of the battle, in which the pro cham pions have won 10 and the col legians six with two ties, in Sol dier Field Friday night. An audience of more than 90,000 was expected in the sta dium with another crowd num bered in the millions expected to scan the spectacle via television. Rams Appear The Rams were first to ap pear in Chicago for final work outs." A light drill was scheduled Thursday night under the lights, and Head Coach Joe Stydahar, who has played in the contest earlier as both a college tackle and a Chicago Bear pro, said his team was ready to go. But observers from the Rams training camp reported that at least three of the pro mainstays, fullback Paul Younger, and guards Stan' West and Bill Lange, have not yet scrimmaged due to injuries and that end Tom Fears, a dangerous pass catching threat on offense, has not reach ed his form of 1951 or 1950. In the latter year he led the Na tional League in receptions. Top Spirits On the other hand,' the Rams reportedly were in top spirits for the contest, aiming to avenge the licking suffered in the only previous Los Angeles appear ance in 1946. The All-Stars remained in their Delafield, Wis., training camp Thursday for their final drills. They will arrive by bus Friday morning and await the match. The all-Stars, at peak morale since their training program, have retained their pitch and coaches said they anticipated no letdown for the contest. 0LIVAR NAMED YALE MENTOR Jordan Olivar (right) has been' named to succeed Herman Hickman (left) as head coach of Yale University, New Haven, Conn.
