USE TRIBUNE WANT ADS Lead to SLPdDLHrLTS Jackson Softball Tourney Finals Match Chris Drug, National Guard on Monday Chris Drugs of Jacksonville will seek its third win of the league season over National Guard Company A of Medford when the two aggregations tan gle Monday in Jackson County Softball association champion ship play-off finals. The game will be at 6:15 p.m at Hawthorne park. A Druggist victory will give that team the title but a National Guard tri umph would force the tourney into another game. The play-off is a double elimination affair with Chris yet unmarred and the Guardsmen having suffered one setback. The Jacksonville nine nipped National Guard during the reg ular association season then last week in the second round of the play-offs. On both occasions the winning margins were one run. Count during the regular Portland Sets Sights on Third In Coast League By jack Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer It was just 20 years ago that Irish Bill Sweeney took over the Portland Beavers in fourth place and piloted them to a Pa cific Coast League pennant. It would take a miracle for Sweeney, who again picked up the reins in mid-season, to repeat the trick this year but the Bea ver boss pushed back into the first division Friday night and served notice his sights are set on third place. The Portlanders put together a string of three victories with a sweep of a twin bill .from Sac ramento Friday night "and stood just five games back of third place Hollywood. The Beavers took the seven-inning opener, 4-1, and rattled out a 21-hit at tack to crush the Solons in the nightcap 15-3. Rene Valdes, ace of the Bea ver mound corps, racked up his loth win against five losses, with a neat five-hitter in the opener and big Ed Mickelson provided the punch with a three-run homer in the sixth that over came a 1-0 Solon lead. Catcher Ron Bottler came through with an inside-the-park-homer the first ever hit in Multnomah Stadium and belted in four runs in the nightcap. Little Luis Marquez matched Bottler's RBI's with four singles. LINESCORES: (1st Game) R H E Sacramento 010 OO0 0 1 5 0 Portland 000 004 X 4 6 0 Bearden and Batch; Valdes and Cal derone.

Negotiations Set Monday in Strike Pittsburgh (U.R) Resump tion of negotiations in a four day strike by 28,000 United Steelworkers against the na tion's two major aluminum mak ers hinged Saturday on a mu tually agreeable bargaining site. Both union and management leaders agreed Friday to a gov ernment request that a meeting be held again Monday. But offi cials of Aluminum Company of America and the Reynolds Met als Co. refused to send negotia tors to New York, as was pro posed by ederal Mediator R. W. Donahoo. The companies told Donahoo Pittsburgh was acceptable to them as a bargaining location. The United Steelworkers Union preferred moving to New York City because top USW officials were there concluding contracts in the basic steel industry. Fifty per cent of the nation's aluminum production was halted at midnight last Wednesday when 18,000 workers struck at 12 Alcoa plants. They were joined by 10,000 other USW members employed at nine Rey nolds installations. Alcoa said the Steelworkers' Union rejected a package of 46 cents an hour which was ac cepted by the Aluminum Work ers Union, representing 15,000 other workers at nine plants. 'Spies' Sentenced to Terms in Red Hungary London (U.R) The Commun ist radio reported Saturday that a miliary court in Red Hungary has sentenced 12 "spies" to pris on for terms ranging from one year to life. The Budapest broadcast said the heaviest penalty was im posed on Sandor Mezoe, alledged leader of what it described as a "spy ring of. Nazis, Fascists and refugees organized, by an unnamed Western power." 2 Games slate was 3 to 2 and last week the final tally was 11 to 10. Chris had to overcome a five run deficit in the tourney scuf fle. Closeness of the two 'con flicts puts the Monday outcome in the toss-up category. National Guard likely will post either Don Vessey or Lu ther Fisher on the pitcher's slab while either Darrell Whee ler or Ray Singler should get the mound . summons for the Jacksonville-sponsored team. Dick Phillips is expected to do the catching for the Guard. The infield may be chosen from among Bill Matejka, Gene Snook, Ted Landers, Chuck Cle mans, Ted Yarnell and Reeves. Outfielders could be Ned Lan ders, Jack Burns and Denny Burns. Drug Line-Up Chris likely will have Jerry Montgomery behind the plate with the infield to be picked from among Dick Sanford, Don Sanford; Dale Thompson, Ken Knapp and Francis Guidry. Don Wendt, Roby Isaacs and Clyde Smith may be outfielders. The play-off has involved the top four clubs at the end of the regular once around schedule of the 10-team loop. Chris finished second, with a 7-2 mark and Na tional Guard fourth with 5-4. Walt's Lithia Motors of Ashland was unbeaten in the nine-game regular slate. McCulloch Chain Saw wound up third with 6-3. Chris beat Lithia 8 to 5 and Guard tripped McCulloch 4 to 2 in the first round. In the second set of contests Chris got its 11 to 10 nod over Suardsmen and Lithia whacked McCulloch 7 to 1. National Guard gained the fi nals against the Druggists with a 7 to 6 decision over Walt's. - There have been small crowds at the play-offs not much more than family interest, although no charge has been made to spectators. Convicts Smash Legs in Georgia Atlanta (U.R) Georgia pe nal authorities Saturday said they will continue investigations to show the public there is "noth ing wrong" at Littl Alcatraz where 41 convicts smashed then legs. Prisons Director Jack For rester said he was convinced nothing justified the self-torture the convicts resorted to to get away from the prison but said he will continue investigating to convince the public." A state legislative committee refused to believe convicts' tales of brutality at the Rock Quarry Prison for incorrigibles where the convicts pounded their legs with sledgehammers last Mon day and Tuesday. The convicts in two days of hearings told investigators that guards beat and cursed them, that food was short and the work inhumane. The committee reported it found claims of extreme cruelty were groundless but said there was evidence that guards cursed the inmates and "slapped or "cuffed" them occasionally. The committee "severly criti cized" these practices and recom mended that the state Board of Corrections order them stopped, but otherwise found life at the prison was reasonable. The committee recommended that discipline be kept as strict as it was before. Americans consume an aver age of 161 pounds of meat per year per person. Eighty-one pounds of this is beef.
