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

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

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.

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.
