Fanfare 17 DICK JIWETT Mail Tribune Sport Editor At least two Southern Oregon league managers were reported hupting pitchers this week and a third indicated that he'd like a bit more strength on his chuck ing staff. Tommy Hawkins' Co- quille Loggers suffered a blow when Ray Gallina returned to his home in Los Angeles. Rudy Bryan drew his release. Glenn Elliott of Roy Helsor's Black Sox went to the Sacramento Solons after throwing one victory against Medford.

BELIED AVERAGES Brownl Valdes In his Roio hurg Now Reriew Sideliner listed a turn batting Trag of .129 for the Rosobuxg Amer ican Lgion baseball club bo for its appearance her last Tuesd.y.

And Larry Bisontt. th top RoHburg batman, went hit las hr. FLUSTERED UMP Valdez also mentions an um pire's call in a Softball game in the Douglas county metropolis. "Strike one, inside!" the arbiter roared. That reminds us of the lady fan Wednesday night who thought Cheney Colt Pitcher Jim Taylor in fielding a ground ball had picked up the rosin bag in stead to throw to first base. And Colt players would like to meet other catchers as accom modating as Nub Beamer of the Roseburg Indians. In the early portion of the tussle two or three of his throws, returning the ball to Pitcher Frank Weber, went into the outfield. It was remark ed that it would be nice for the Colts if Beamer's "errors" were made with men on base. The Merchant backstop, . bit later cooperated, allowing runs to score on two occasions. Wiffi Smith Golf Champ . Sunningdale. Eng. (U.R) Margaret (Wiffi) Smith, St. Clair, Mich., won the British Women's Open - Amateur Golf championship today when she overwhelmed Mary Patton Jannssen Charlottesville, Va., in the Ail-American final, 8 and 7. It was the second major for eign title won by Miss Smith. Two weeks ago she won the French amateur title. ESCAPED HOT BOX When a baseball player gets caught in the "hot box" be tween base he's generally a gonr. Not so for Doy Gatlin of th Colts in th Roseburg gam Wednesday. Ha got in th pinch between second and third bases, and after some cagey running slipped into third just barely. Duane Sides mad it from first bas to second during th run-down try.
