ODDITY ENCOUNUTER
An unusual type of gsme,
played last week at Roseburg,
might go over big with fans if
tried her. In the tussle the
Roseburg Merchants baseball
team opposed an all-star team
of the Industrial Softball
league. Pitchers of the respec
tive clubs hurled against their
own mates. Softballers fielded
against baseball hitting and
baseballers against Softball
swatting. There were two
mounds and two sets of bases.
The Merchants opened play
with an all lefthanded infield.
Baseball triumphed over
Softball with the Merchants
winning 14 to 7.
How about the Jackson

All-Stars opposing the Cheney
Colts or Studs?
At Roseburg errors played
an important part in the con
test with each club hadt diffi

AWARD PLANNED
Coos Bay chapter of the Izaak

the Oregon Coast Sportsmen's
council that an annual award be
presented to the area's industrial
concern which, in the judgement
of the council, has done the most
for sports fishing or improve
ment of fish habitat during the
past year. The Coos Waltonians
feel that the award would stimu
late business interest in the pro
blems faced by the sportsmen
and would improve the sportsmen-businessman
relationship in
solving and correcting sport
