Lumberjacks Take Title With 8-0 Win Over Chris Drugs; Play Klamath Team The Grants Pais Lumberjack ran wild in the first Inning here last night to defeat Chris Drugs of Jacksonville, 8 to 0, and win the sub-district softbaU playoff series between the two teams. Lumber a ck batters got to Jacksonville pitcher Don Roether for six hits and two walks in the first frame to tally five times and put the game on ice. They also scored single runs In the third, fifth and sixth inn- Inn for added insurance. Meanwhile Vern Collins, who won Monday night's contest for the Lumberjacks, was holding the Druggists to three scattered hits.

Stars Thump Senators 3-1 Jehosie Heard Tosses Win for Bevos BY SCOTT BAILIE San Francisco (U.R) The Hollywood Stars were picked to win the Pacific Coast League oennant larselv because of their speed and youth but they were sparked along the victory path today by old man Frank Kelle- her. Kelleher will be 37 next week. He has become as much a part of the Hollywood scene as a punched celebrity, but is far from washed up. Only one reg ular on the squad is batting over .300 and that's Kelleher with a helfty .325. The Stars moved into a com manding eight game lead over runner-up Seattle last night by beating Sacramento 3-1 while Los Angeles was trouncing the Suds, 4-1. Munger's 10th Kelleher figured in all the Twinks' scoring as he went two for four and helped George Munger, another oldster, to his 10th victory of the campaign. Bob Spicer of Los Angeles bested Al Widmar at Wrigley field for his ninth win of the year after he was socked for a homer by Merrill Combs in the first inning. After that, Seattle could only get four more hits off Spicer, who singled home two Angel runs in the third. Jehosie Heard, the bantam Negro ace of the Portland hurl ing staff, notched his 13th triumph at the expense of the hapless Oakland Oaks, who fell deeper into the cellar to the mournful tune of 10-6. Collegian Bob Murphy was roughed up for his fifth defeat and was in the showers long before the game was over. Bevos Seals Tied Portland bounced back into a virtual tie for fourth with San Francisco, which split a twin bill with San Diego. Homers by Al Lyons and Frank Kalin featured a four run Seal splurge in the fourth inning of the opener. This was enough to insure San Fran cisco a 4-2 margin at the ex pense of Lloyd Dickey, who dropped his fourth verdict In the second game the Seals could hardly beg a hit off lefty Bob Kerrigan, who shut them out with four singles, 6-0. Dick Faber knocked in two of the runs with a bases loaded single in the eighth. Season Set For Oregon Waterfowl Reno (U.R) Oregon's 1953 migratory waterfowl season will extend from Oct. 17 to Dec. 30, the Oregon Fish and Game com mission decided at a meeting of the Pacific Flyway Council here. Representatives of the seven Western states met here yester day to make recommendations for the 1953-54 migratory water fowl hunting season in their states. However, only seasons definitely set were those of Ore gon and Nevada. Only conflict was between Oregon and California. California persuaded Oregon representatives to open their season earlier than originally scheduled because bird flocks in the Tule Lake area would be chased back and forth between the two states constantly if the early season recommendations stood. California representatives said also an early season opening was desired in their state be cause bird flocks injure crops severely and farmers have taken to frightening birds from rice fields and other crop lands. The Federal Fish and Game service already has announced liberalized hunting rules for the season and said hunters may shoot until sunset In all flyways. Hambletonian Entries Ready for Big Race Goshen, N.Y.

KLAMATH FALLS Phone 5103 Ezzard Upset By Unknown In Comeback Miami, 71a. U.F9 Xzzard Charles, dream of becoming the first man in history to regain the world's heavyweight champion ship lay all but shattered today under the wreckage of his sur prise loss to obscure Nino Valdes of Cuba. Valdes stunned a crowd of 3,500 last night as he took Charles' best punches and came on to win the unanimous, 10- round vote oz two judges and the referee. The setback apparently doom ed Charles' hopes of getting a shot at the winner of next month's championship fight be tween Rocky Marciano and Rol and La Starza, and, at the ad vanced ring age of 32, may have ended them for all time. I just had a bad night,' moaned the former champion from Cincinnati, O. ' I missed. Charles entered the ring at 191V4 pounds, a little over his usual fighting weight, and he allowed that the extra poundage made him "a little sluggish." Whether there would be a re turn bout between the former champion and the 27-year-old Cuban was an unsettled ques tion. I don't see any point for a re match," declared Bobby Glea- son, manager of Valdes. Bernie Miller Holds Lead at County Speedway The fastest racing so far this season will be the special event Friday night at the Jackson County Speedway, located at the Posse ground.

PiemSaucnof rUlac.Haniafd.Caaa. Wednesday, August 12. 1153 Brooklyn Bias League Lead; Br CARL LTJHDQUIST New York U.R The Dodgers made it an "anniversary waltz." Never forgetting for a moment that it was exactly two years ago they started the memorable collapse which saw them blow the 13 Vi game lead they posses sed on August 11 of that season, they just about convinced every one in sight that it won't happen again at least not this year. And they did it right in the Polo Grounds, with the hated Giants their victims in a bril liantly executed -0 triumph in wmcn the following things hap pened:, i Ersklne Two-Hitter Carl Ersklne pitched a two hitter, missing a no-hitter only because of two singles by Hank Thompson. It was the first vic tory of his life in the Polo Grounds, after five straight de feats there, and his 13th of the season. In fact it was the only complete game he ever pitched there. Sal Maglie got his ears nailed to his head, permitting nine hits in four innings, including Gil Hodges' 25th homer of the year and his first against Giant pitch ing. Maglie, who had a 3-0 won and lost edge over Brooklyn this year, and who had been 18-5 MZSFOBO (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN ts Giants 4-0ta Stretch s Yanks 2-1 Marshall Hurls No-Hitter for Vancouver Caps v By UNITED PRESS Clarence Marshall pitched a no-hitter last night as the Van couver Capilanos downed the Salem Senators 12-1 in their Western International league baseball game. Salem s lone tally came on three walks and an outfield fly in the eighth frame. Marshall struck out four and walked nine. K. Chorlton poled a homer for the Caps in the sixth, a 340-foot-er over the left field fence, for the night's bigget blow. Some 1,231 fans were on hand. In other games, Victoria top pled Yakima 8-3, Lewiston edged Calgary 10-9, Spokane downed Tri-City 4-3, and Edmonton de feated Wenatchee 5-1 in the first game of a double header. Wen atchee won the second game 3-2 in 10 Innings. Washington lifetim before last night's de feat, begged off in the fifth In ning because of a stiff right shoulder. The Dodgers finally evened the season count with the Giants at 7-7. They are ahead of all other clubs in season's nlav. Bums Boost Lead Brooklyn's lead went to 7Vi games when the Cardinals, on doubles by Solly Hemus and Red Schoendlenst in the ninth inning, .drove In the winning run in a 4-3 victory at Milwau kee, which ended the six-game winning streak of the second place Braves. Stu Miller pitched a seven-hitter for hia thin vie. tory over Milwaukee. Stan Mu- siai ana Rip RepulskI homered for St. Louis and Del Cran- dall bit one for Milwaukee.
