They defeated Marg Barnhart and Joan Walker of David Douglas in the finale and also subdued another duo from David Douglas and girls from Grant and Corvallis High schools on their way.

The slate for the Milk Pro ducers league - sponsored Cemetery Offer for Chavez Told Los Angeles (IP) Dear Dodgers: You'd better play better ball or you may be buried in Chavez ravine instead of play ing ball in it. No kidding There's talk in the city coun cil that the blue serge suit boys covet your ravine. It happened Monday about ?he time Buzzie Bavasi was reading out Duke Snider'i "failure" to be a "big man" in the Dodger scheme of things this season. Councilman John C. Hol land, who said he had re ceived an offer of $30 million from a cemetery firm for the much-discussed piece of real estate, was challenged to pro duce the bid. Holland refused to hit that high fast one but said he had no objections to turning a let ter containing the bid, report edly from the Utter-McKinley mortuary, to the city clerk. "Red herring," cried Coun cilman Patrick D. McGee, in a swing at the resolution call ing on Holland to produce the bid. Vol June 3 As you guys know, the citi zens of Los Angeles vote June 3 on a deal giving you the Chavez ravine site in ex change for Wrigley field, and you undoubtedly remember that there was some question about oil rights in the contro versy. Well, the city council did something about that too. 4 The council has offered to sell oil rights to 245 of Cha vez ravine's acres for $1,000 an acre for 16 23 per cent royalties. The city would re tain all oil rights. And you may not have heard that 'a zoological group would like to build the world's "finest zoo" in your ravine. Not to mention the fact that another set of pro moters would like to have a world's fair and exposition there. It's pretty plain that you guys had better do something about that 10-game descent into the National league cel lar. EMPIRE LEAGUE Standings: W. L.

Oiling DODD CO. 3-4221 comes the Pels tomorrow, Grants Pass and Medford would be tied for the South ern Oregon conference cham pionship. A play-off would be necessary to determine the District 6 A-l entry in state quarter-finals. Grants Pass has a one-game edge over Medford and needs only to trim Ashland today to claim sole possession of the crown. Barr Pitcher Kovenz said he probably will call on the Black Tor nado's No. 1 pitcher, Dennis Birr, to oppose the Pelicans. Making the trip with the Tornado will be Bob Pond, letterman catcher and out fielder, who has missed most of Medford's action this sea son. Pond suffered a broken collarbone at Yreka, Calif., in the first tussle of the sea son. He returned to the line up for the first time since then last Friday in the sec ond game against Ashland. Pond could see service as a pinchhitter in the opener at Klamath and might handle the catching chores in the second game.

Dragster Speeds 132 Noel Black and Gerald Fanger, Medford, pushed the Swif ten's dragster up to 132 plus miles per hour at a Redding, Calif., drag race on Sunday.

MEDFORIvSiwTRIBUNE SIPaDUuTTS Senator Director Accuses Ford Friclc of Washington OP) Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick was accused by a director of the Washington baseball club to day of "unwarranted med dling" in the club's "internal affairs." . The charge was fired by C. Leo Deorsey, outspoken mem ber of the Senators' board of directors and counsel for the Griffith family which controls the club. , Deorsey asserted that Frick "would be better advised if he kept his mouth shut in refer ence to matters about which he simply knows nothing and which do not concern his of fice"' He aimed his criticism at a statement attributed to Frick in an interview publshed by a Canadan newspaper (the Mon treal Star weekly magazine). Not "Up to Standard" The newspaper, in a story titled "What's Happening to Baseball," quoted Frick as saying of the" Washington club: "Griffith Stadium, like Ebbets Field, is no longer up to big league standards. Con gress, which administers the District of Columbia, has been talking about building a new stadium for the Senators, but I do not believe the money will be appropriated in a time of increased defense expendi tures and demands for tax re vision. "Meantime, an internal struggle is taking place for control of the club. Minority stockholders demand that money be raised to obtain players who will end the Sen ators' long stay in the second division. President Cal Grif fith defends his present policy as the only one possible under the circumstances. If the mi- nority wins, the Senators are You spend a lot of time in your car driving to work, shopping, taking trips. How your car rates on the road is important to you.

Meddling hkely to move. Otherwise, they will remain in Washing ton. Griffith was not available for comment. Deorsey said that "insofar as the Washington situation is concerned, it is obvious to me that Frick does not know what he is talking about, and when he finds himself in that position he should shut up! Hard Enough "As to the Stadium," he said, "it's hard enough to get congressional action on a mu nicipal stadium without hav ing the "head" of baseball make a suggestion that he does not think the money will be appropriated in a time of increased defense expendi tures and demands for tax re vision." Deorsey dismissed Frick's statement about "an internal struggle" for control of the club, saying "The facts are that the Griffiths - own out right more than 50 per cent of the stock and that is control; they need no further help to obtain what they already have." He said that H. Gabriel Murphy, who owns about 42 per cent of the club stock, "is a minority stockholder who has repeatedly said that he will do all in his power to keep the Senators in Washing ton, and the Griffiths have publicly stated the same thing."
