"c imps WE WANT THE Cbmj'u '4 GOI GOI GO! Forming their own college style root ing section, "all the way" is the slogan of these pro footballers as they receive their gear and pep talk from San Franicsco 49ers Trainer Henry Schmidt (right) at Moraga, Calif.

Chris Drugs Gains Softball Loop Toga Chris Drugs of Jacksonville is the 1956 Jackson County Soft ball association champion. The Druggists shut out Com pany A, Medford National Guard unit, 4 to 0 yesterday eve ning at Hawthorne park in fi nals of the association's double elimination titular play-off. Formal play among league members was ended for the sea son last night and the champion Druggists will not go into any play-offs leading to a state tour nament berth. The Jacksonville sponsored aggregation lashed out for three runs in the first inning last night. It had three-hit pitching on the part of Darrell Wheeler, got some great fielding from sec ond baseman Dale Thompson and received the advantage of what breaks there were. Two Triplet Hit Chris struck for its markers "after the first two batters had been retired in the opening in ning. Jerry Montgomery drew a base on balls off Guard start ing pitcher Don Vessey. Then Don Sanford tripled to left cen ter field. Clyde Smith lined to light field for a single and Don Wendt blasted to left center for a three baser to push in the third run. In the sixth inning Wendt led off with his second hit of the night and stretched it to two bases. Guard relieving pitcher Luther Fisher hit a wild streak. A wild pitch let Wendt go to third base while walks to Roby Isaacs and Dick Sanford loaded the bags. Thompson flied to right field for the second out and Wendt was able to tally on the overthrow at home. t Wheeler hit two batters and walked none. He struck out two. The Guard got a man to third base on only one occasion and had runners at second on three other occasions. JTwo double plays, both started off by Thomp son boosted the Chris cause. Fans Still Love Their Teddy Boy Boston (ll.R) The incompar able Ted Williams both as a hitter or a spitter had growing support today from the fans he held in $5,000 worth of con tempt: The 38-year-old Boston Red Sox slugger still refused to re-, pent on the spitting incident Tuesday which cost him a $5,000 fine from owner Tom Yawkcy. But Boston fans were more than ready to forgive him. A "Ted Williams fine commit tee" was launched to pay the record-tying assessment and the originator, Massachusetts Labor Relations Commisioner Charles N. Collatos, chipped in $25 to get the ball rolling. A state legislator filed a bill to fine fans using "profane, ob scene or impure" language against a sports participant a maximum of S50. Some 30.000 fans jammed Fenway park Wednesday night to see if Ted would carry out his threat to "spit again at the fans who booed me" as the Red Sox met the Baltimore Orioles. In the sixth with the score tied, 2-2, Williams blasted a towering home run into the right field grandstand. Every eye in the park watched the lumbering figure as Ted rounded the bases and headed for the dugout. Williams smiled broadly just as be was going down the dugout steps. He clamped his hands over his mouth as if to suppress the desire to expectorate once again. It was - evident from the ap plause that the fans still loved their "Teddy boy." Thompson made two great catches and had five putouts and two assists for the night. The Druggists gave Wheeler errorless backing. Fisher .in 5 13 innings of re lief twirling gave up only three hits. He issued four bases on balls. Wendt and Don Stanford each hit two for three. It was the third Chris win over National Guard this season and the most decisive. The two clubs met three times during the current play-off with the Drug gists winning the first 11 to 10 and the Guard the next 4 to 3. The Drug store club finished the regular season in second spot in the standings and National Guard was fourth. Lithia Motors of Ashland was unbeaten in the regular slate but bowed to Chris and the Guard in the play offs. McCulloch Chain Saw qual ified for the third berth in the title play but was dropped by the Guard and Lithia. I INESCORE: National Guard 000 OnO OOO O 3 2 Clins Drugs 300 OOO Olx 6 0 D. Vessey.

PITCH HITS BAKER Cincinnati (U.R) Second baseman Gene Baker, thankful that he escaped serious injury, was kept under observation in the hospital today where he was taken when struck on the left temple by a pitched ball in the Cubs' game with the Redlegs Wednesday night. f - - jt ' ' 5.1 SPEEDING to new world's record in 100 meters, Willie Williams, former University 61 Illinois sprinter now with the U. S. armed forces in Germany, cuts one-tenth sec ond on 20 -year-old record, . covering distance in 10.1 in meet at Berlin. (International) Intruder Victor In Hambletonian Coshen, N.Y. (U.R) The In truder, a gallant colt, and Ned Bower,, a cold-blooded young driver, were the principal rea sons today that owner Leonard C. Buck of Far Hills, N.J., glor ied in his first Hambletonian victory. But a hunch was among the factors behind The Intruder's brilliant victory Wednesday in the 31st running of the $100. 603.99 race in which the son of Scotland, after finishing 11th in the first heat, came roaring home first in the second and third to win harness racing's top prize. Last Saturday, in a work out. The Intruder ran the last half of a mile in 58 seconds. Buck and Bower "guessed" he deserved a chance and put up the $1,000 necessary to enter the race on a hunch. The hunch paid off to the tune oi $59,155.15. Roseburg Raps The Dalles 8-4 For State Legion Toga Roseburg (U.R) Roseburg scored four runs in the top of the 11th inning here last night to defeat The Dalles 8-4 and take the state American Legion baseball title. The Dalles had pressed the series down to the final wire with last night's fifth game de ciding the series. Roseburg scored twice in the third, then added one in the fourth. The Dalles got back one of the runs in the third then took the lead in the sixth with a three-run production. Tied in Eighth Roseburg tied it up In the eighth with a lone tally then finished out in the 11th with the four runs. Bill Oerding, in to relieve in the sixth, gained credit for the win. The victory gave Oerding credit for all three of the Rose burg wins in the five-game playoff. Denny Peterson started for The Dalles but gave way to John Heldt in the final stanza under a Legion rule that prevents a pitcher from working more than 10 innings. The Dalles, the defending state champion,' took the state title a year ago in a playoff with Roseburg. IPCOMTTS Triple Main Ring Card at Portland Slated August 16 Portland The hard-hitting sensational California heavy weight, Eddie Machen, will op pose big Walter Hafer, Wash ington, D.C. puncher in the top ten-rounder of an all star card at the Portland auditorium, Aug. 16. The two supporting 10 round ers will feature Amos Lincoln, Portland heavyweight, against Doug Harper from Calgary, Al. Tommy Thomas, Portland's 1956 National AAU welterweight champion will meet Jimmy Mo Coy in the first ten. Machen, managed by Sid Flah erty, is one of the hardest hit ting fighters in the game today. In 16 fights he has scored 13 KOs. His last fight was a KO win over Nino Valdez on a Wed nesday night TV fight. Many veteran observers feel that Ma chen could become the next heavyweight champion if given the opportunity. On Sidelines He is currently frying to lure Floyd Patterson into a match but the Patterson camp is in terested in fighting Archie Moore for the vacated title, all of which leaves Machen on the sidelines for the time being. Harper is the only man to hold a KO win over Amos Lin coln. He knocked Lincoln out in Vancouver. Thomas will have his hands full in his first 10-round bout. McCoy, with forty-odd profes sional fights under his belt, will have a decided edge in exper ience, having fought main ev ents in California as well as on the East coast. Toothpick Brown Stops Morgan Chicago U.R) Henry "Tooth pick" Brown hardly "worked up a sweat" Wednesday night, but it was enough to finish L. C. Morgan, ninth rated lightweight in the world, in less than two minutes of the first round. Brown, a Philadelphia battler who wasn't rated among the top ten 135 pounders, plunged a right hook to Morgan's side; then as Morgan dropped his guard and attempted to counter, he lashed a left hook to the jaw, and Morgan dropped for a 10 count at 1:54. Brown, who gained his 14th knockout win, six of them first round knockouts: and his 24th triumph in 29 pro bouts, had no idea what the future held, and neither did his manager, George Katz. It was Morgan's third loss in 17 pro fights and the second time he has been knocked out. Portland Swim Aspirants Out; Record Broken Detroit, Mich. (U.R) Port land's two entries in the finals of the Olympic games swimming tryouts failed in their bids to land a spot on the United States team bound for Australia.
