SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Central
Bill's Place
Beaten 12-4
In Play-off
Central Point will represent
southern Oregon in" the state
softball tournament this week
end at Mill City..
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.

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

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. .

Rams Face
Collegians
On Friday
Chicago (U.R) Tradition
made the once-potent Los Ange
les Rams one-touchdown favor
ites over the 1952 College All
Stars Thursday but there were
reasons to anticipate the seventh
triumph for.the collegians in the
19-game annual series.
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.
