SIPdDIETrS Colts Edge Roseburg 9-8 In Non-League For a while last night the old bugaboo of miscues threatened to prove the downfall of the Cheney Colts. But the Rogue Valley League club found its hitting eyes, got steller relief chucking from versatile Jim Taylor and took advantage of its rivals' misplays. The result was a 9 to 8 nod over the Jiose- burg Merchants in a non-loop semi-pro baseball ruckus at the fairgrounds here last night. The Colts had to overcome two deficits of five runs each to bounce the Merchants. Roseburg had gaps of 5 to 0 and 6 to 1 be fore the Cheney gang swung into effective offensive action. A four-run splurge in the fourth inning got the Colts back into contention. They tied up the game and went on top with a pair of tallies In the fifth panel. Once in front they stayed there. Roseburg started the scoring in the first inning with a single ton on a base on balls, a fielder's option, an error and a hit by Nub Beamer. Two more markers were added in the second frame on hits by Francis Sprague and Phil Telford, a wild pitch and three Colt errors. Four Hits In Third The Douglas county crew got to Colt thrower Eldon Davidson for four hits and two runs in the third inning to make the stand ing 5 to 0. Jack Meyers, Frank Weber, Sprague and Roy Child ress smacked the consecutive safeties. , At that point Taylor, who had been catching, took over on the hill for the Colts. He struck out Telford to retire the side. Tay lor from there pitched five hit less innings before yielding a pair of bingles in the ninth can to. He whiffed 40 batters and walked none but three wild pitchers helped in two runs. Cheney picked up its first run in the third inning. Bob Serak lined to right field and went to second on a ground out and to third on a flyout. He scored when catcher Beamer threw wild into the outfield when re turning a pitch to tosser Weber. In the fourth inning, Taylor fanned Arlen Weaver but the third strike heave was wild and Weaver got to first base. He went all the way to third on catcher Doy Gatlin's bad throw to second and scored on another miscue. That made the score 6 to 1. Bigham Triples In the big fourth when the gap was cut to 6 to 5, Larry Big ham tripled and Gatlin, Bill Caldwell. Serak and jU Rein king singled. There were two er rors in the frame.

Norris Exoects To Close Talks On Welter Bout New York U.R) Promoter Jim Norris expected to close ne gotiations today for a return title fight between welterweight champidn Johnny Saxton and ex-champ Carmen Basilio at the Syracuse (N.Y.) War Memorial Auditorium, probably Sept. 12. It would be a TV-radio 15 rounder. co-promoted by Nor man Rothschild of Syracuse. Saxton of Brooklyn recaptur ed the 147-pound crown from Easilio of Chittenango, N.Y.. on a unanimous but unpopular de cision at the Chicago Stadium, March 14. Although there was no con tract for a return bout, the dis pute over the decision indicated that the most profitable next title defense Saxton could make would be against Basilio pref erably at Syracuse, which is only a few miles from Basilio's Chittenango. The N.Y. State Athletic Com mission recently cleared the way for a return match by deciding that Saxton' could sign his own contract for the fight despite the fact that his manager, Frank Blinky Palermo, has no N.Y. state license.

Bears Trim Senators in 11 Innings Br RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer There's a lot of different ways to get the job done and the Yakima Bears of the Northwest League seem to know all the angles. Last night the league leaders went 11 innings before posting a 7-6 victory over Salem. Man ager Hub Kittle tossed five pitch ers into the game and Charlie Drummond, who entered in the eighth, received credit for the decision. The winning Yakima run came when Dick Neal walked and was sacrificed to second. He crossed on a single by Bob Wil son. For Drummond it was his seventh victory against two losses. Russ Rossburg hit a grand- slam homer in the first for Sa lem and the Senators added two in the sixth. Yakima tied it with six runs in the seventh on three walks, three singles and a double. Lai riumpnries spaced nine hits in pitching Wenatchee to a 4-2 victory over the Lewiston Broncs. Wenatchee got two runs in the first, added one in the second and got its final tally on Bob Easterbrook's homer in the sixth. Tri-City pushed across two runs in the seventh to nip Eu gene 6-5. Pitcher Dave Kostenuk tied it at 5-5 with a solo homer in the fifth and Rich Scramaglia scored later in the same frame with the winning run. McElhenny Will Report for Duty San Francisco (U.R) Half back Hugh McElhenny of the San Francisco Forty Niners said today his injured foot has healed so well that he'll report for ac tion this fall. "You bet your life I'll report," he said. "If I don't get away for a few touchdowns, then maybe the league is faster or I'm older." McElhenny underwent an op eration April 19 to remove scar tissue from an ailing foot that kept him idle most of last sea son. , - In the last week and a half, he has been working out on his own at Mountain View High school. "I've ben running full speed, straight on and I've been . cut ting,",' he said. "I've also been jumping into the air for passes thrown by Y. A. Tittle. Boy, it sure feels good." He said he still feels a little pain when he twists or turns sharply, but he said his doctor told him to expect that for a while after he began serious training again. u MAKE THAT SPARE! ...then make yourself . a memorable drink. .
