TWELVE MEDrORD (OREGON) t Getchell, Harrington, Millette Win OGA Tests; DeVoe Tripped Portland (U R) A series of close matches featured play in the men's section of the Oregon Golf Association championships yesterday while four favorites advanced to" the semi-finals of the women's division. Bruce Cudd, Walker cup team member, had a narrow escape before defeating Dr. Leonard .Holmes on the 19th hole. Cudd once was three down. Lt. Dick Stearns defeated Bob McReynolds in a 21-hole match. Kretlow Throws Shutout For Suds; Seals Rap Pads; Beavers Hang By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer Seattle newcomer Lou Kret- low's second straight shutout pitching performance helped the Rainiers trim San Diego's lead in the Pacific Coast League tc two games last night. Second place Seattle downed Oakland, 5-0, behind Kretlow's five-hit hurling while the San Francisco Seals toppled San Diego 9-4 with a 15-hit barrage. Bill Werle southpawed Port land to a 4-1 win over Los An- Coast Loop Attendance Said Lagging San Francisco CU.Rj Claire Goodwin, president of the fal tering Pacific Coast League, said today that one reason for the big skid in attendance dates back to "complacency on the part of some people in the business." "By that, I mean the condition of a lot of the parks in this league," Goodwin said. "We have to get better parks to help bring the fans back. There are only three really good ones in the league at Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco." Goodwin said that plans were being considered for building a recreation center in Oakland which would include a ball park for the Oaks. Their lease on the ramshackle Emeryville Ball Park ends after this season. Of course, the Oaks may not wait for any community center to be finished. Rumors continue to fly that owner C. L. (Brick) Laws will ship his franchise up to Vancouver next year. Grimmer Turn The Oakland situation took a grimmer turn last Sunday when only 2,185 came out to see the double header with Hollywood. A United Press check of the eight ball clubs shows that after 12 weeks of baseball, PCL at tendance is 108,588 behind last season at the same time. Goodwin admitted that his rosy prediction of three million attendance for the league was washed up. Nor would he esti mate how many the PCL will finish up with. What about franchise shifts? "They might help the league if made after a proper study," is the way Goodwin phrased it. , Managers Bobby Bragan of Hollywood and Tommy Heath of San Francisco have been quoted as' favoring weekend baseball with games restricted to Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Goodwin pronounced the idea as "a bad experiment" while Damon Miller, president of Heath's club, claimed that his manager was misquoted. "Week end baseball would be strictly bush," Miller said. Waters Improve For Fishermen In Rogue Basin Portland (U.R) The weekly report on fishing conditions pre pared by the State Game Com mission: Southwest: Winchester bay good for salmon; Tenmile lakes fair to good for evening fly fishing. . ' Rogue basin waters improving for trout; Applegate river fair to poor. Willow creek reservoir good for rainbow by towing small lures; Fish , lake in Jackson county good. North Umpqua good; road above Steamboat closed many week days and is rough; South Umpqua fair above Days creek. Lewiston Lends Hand To Salem By UNITED PRESS First place Salem had some breathing room in the North west League today thanks to the lowly Lewiston Broncs. Lewiston came through with 2-1 and 9-8 victories over Eu gene last night to send the Em raids down to third spot three games off the pace. Idle Wenat chee moved into second spot. Salem, meanwhile, did itself no harm with 2-0 and 6-5 victor ies over Sookane. Tri-City ham mered Yakima 17-3. Some redwood' trees have bark up to two feet thick. MAIL TRIBUNE McReynolds had been one of the tourney favorites. A trio of Medford golfers came through. Phil Getchell downed co-medalist Dom Pro vost, 3 and 2; George Harrington took the measure of Dusty Woods of McMinnville 3 and 2, and Harry Millette edged Jim Miller of Portland on the 19th hole. Carol Kabler Victor In other men's matches, Don Bick of Coos Bay came through On To Third geles to keep the Beavers in third place, and Hollywood hung on to fourth with a 4-2 decision over Sacramento as Bob Garber registered his 11th win. Kretlow, husky righthander obtained recently from Balti more, walked five and struck out six. He was in trouble only in the fourth when the Oaks loaded the bases with one out But he struck out Len Neal and forced pinch-hitter Bill Serena to fly to right. Bearden Wins 12th Game In San Francisco, veteran Gene Bearden became the first PCL pitcher to win a dozen games this season although he was nicked for 11 hits. He has lost three. Hal Rico's solo homer in the first inning gave Angel hurler Hy Cohen (1-4) a lead that he preserved until the seventh when Portland tied it up on Joe Taylor's 10th homer. The Beavers won it for Werle (9-3) in the next inning with a three-run flurry off reliefer Turk Lown after Cohen had put two men on. A two-run double by Carl Powis was the key blow.

Seven Studs Rate Berths In Star Mix Seven members of the Wash ington Cheney Studs baseball squad were participants on June 20 in ' the Seattle versus State all-star doubleheader in the Pug et Sound metropolis. That's evidence of the talent and ability of the youthful con tingent which will be seen at the fairgrounds ball yard here two week ends from now. The Washington Studs and Medford Cheney Studs, two, clubs spon sored by the same firm, will be rivals Saturday night, July 9, and Sunday afternoon, July 10. Heading the list of players on the Washington club who were in the all-star frays is Luther Carr, an all-everything athlete from Tacoma's Lincoln high who plays in the outfield. However, it was Bob Jacobs, shorstop from West Seattle high and Studs' infielder, who took most valu able player laurels. All 18 or Under Other Studs who saw all-star duty were Jerry Jackson, first baseman, Highland, Wash.; Dave Beach, third baseman, Bain bridge, Wash.; Bob Hibler, pitch er, Queen Anne high, Seattle; Ray Christianson, catcher, and George Kritsonis, pitcher, Seat tle university. Players for the star tilts were high school seniors, college players and sandlotters, all 18 years of age or under. Jacobs for his award gets to join the United States all-star squad on August 10 for the Hearst nation al game in the Polo grounds. The seven are but a few of the talented players on the Chen ey roster. They are mostly from University of Washington, Seat tle U and high schools of the Seattle-Tacoma area. A standout is Monte Geiger, U of W, a pitcher. The press and eight major league scouts picked him as the most valuable player last year in the Northwest regional tourney of the Ameri can Baseball- congress. The Studs won the regional banner but lost two straight in the national tournament. Dick Naish, infielder from SU, was a close second to Geiger in the regional MVP voting. At 23 he is the oldest player on the squad. But its Carr who has been drawing the raves. The 18-year-old football halfback, track sprinter and broad jumper and baseballer recently brought ela tion to Husky fans with the an nouncement that he plans to en roll at University of Washing ton. In baseball he is rated a great pro prospect. He climaxed his prep diamond career in May with a winning homer in a play off game in Tacoma. A couple of days later he broad jumped 23 feet 7 inches for a new state record. The leap was longer than the winning jump the same day in the Pacific Coast conference meet.

PROMPT DELIVERY McAndrews Road Phone 2-5271 siPdDiHnrs CHANGED THEIR MINDS Soviet oarsmen in London for the Henley Regatta withdrew from the race when they couldn't get their own racing shells off a Russian steamer due to a stevedore strike. They immediately reconsidered when volunteers were allowed to go aboard the ship and get the boats. A regatta official said "perhaps it's too late," as the Thames River classic had gotten underway. One of the Russians is shown signing his autograph for Susan Lovelock, 8, and Paul Hockins, 7. SMITH DEFEATS CARTER FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TOGA Boston (U.R) Wallace (Bud) Smith said today he fought 15 fights to win the world's light weight championship. "I fought every round like it was a different fight," the 26-year-old Cincinnati, O., battler said today after winning a split decision Wednesday night from Jimmy Carter. Smith gave the former cham pion perhaps the worst beating in lifting the crown from Carter who had lost it previously to two other fighters. The fight was nationally televised from hot and muggy Boston Garden. Though it was Carter's 11th championship bout, it was Smith's first crack at the title. "I knew I was going to win it and I wouldn't let him, Carter, change my plans," Smith said. "I planned to fight every round like it was a different fight and I wouldn't let him do anything to stop me," he said. Discuss Left Hoks Smith, a 3-1 underdog and a quarter of a pound lighter than Carter at 134, hammered Carter with vicious left hooks. A crowd of 1,983 hardly knew Smith had a right until he started using combination punches beyond the Oregon Tourney Of NBC Opens at Seaside, July 25 Wichita, Kan. Oregon's baseball representative to de termine the United States sand lot champions in the first glo bal world's tournament in Mil waukee's County stadium in September will be decided in the near future. This will be the winner of the annual state championship tour nament for sandlot and semi-pro clubs at Seaside, starting July 25. The event will be under the jurisdiction of Del Putnam, Sea side, state commissioner. Oregon ' state champions will then qualify for a berth into the 21st annual National champion ship baseball tournament in Wichita starting Aug. 19. The national winner represent the U.S. in the first global world's tournament in Milwaukee along with champions from Asia, Eur ope, South America, Mexico and Canada.

He sliced openi cuts over both of Carter's eyes in the fourth round and had his op ponent's face and shorts covered with blood at the final bell. Smith could hardly see from a cut suffered in the 11th. Smith's cut bothered him little as he matched Carter blow-for-blow and then some over the last third of the fight. Smith suffered a split decision loss to Carter in 1950 and had chased the 31-year-old ex-champion ever since. His first defense of the newlj? won crown was ex pected to be against Carter with in 90 days. Smith got the vote of Referee Mel Manning 147-140 and Judge Joe Heirty 145-144. Judge John Glynn voted 144-143 in favor of Carter.

Medford simply outclassed and overwhelmed the California nine by getting a 16 to 0 jump in the first three innings. Ten of the runs were pushed over in the first inning as the Studs took advantage of six hits and five bases on Dalls. Cooney sparked the opening canto onslaught with a triple end a single which drove in four of the counters. He socked an other three-baser to bring home another runner in the second inning when the Studs ran up four tallies. Kelly, throwing seven-hit ball, had only two rough innings and he might have had a five-hitter had it not been for a dropped third strike in the ninth stanza. He issued only one walk but heaved two wild pitches which helped around a run. Several good fielding plays by team mates aided his cause. Three In Sixth Scott Valley reached Kelly for three hits in the sixth inning. They were collected by Don True, Rod Vinall and Dale Evans, but only two did damage True went to third base on Vinall's swat and scored on a passed ball which let Vinall go to second.

First to sign the Seals con tract was right handed pitcher Lowell Creighton from Jeffer son High School in Daly City. Jim Stoll of Rio Vista was sign ed not long after as a catcher.
