McCormick, the surprise of the San Francisco pitching staff this year, will take an 8-2 record into the contest. .Burdette has a so-so 9-8 mark on the season. Br FRED DOWN United Presi International Win or lose, those fabulous San Francisco Giants make news. Eighteen times a winner in the last inning this season the Giants Thursday night did a fantastic turnabout and blew a 10-9 decision when the Cin cinnati Redlegs tied the score with five runs in the eighth inning and won the game with a single tally in the ninth. It was a bitter defeat for the Giants because they dip ped one game behind the Mil waukee Braves, who beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-1, be hind Juan Pizarro's four-hit pitching in an afternoon game. And, it was doubly bit ter, because once again Ru ben Gomez failed in the clutch. Gomez is the pitcher the Giants have been waiting to come through all season.

Entry Requirements Strict for Western Reg ional Ski Meet Participants in the Western Regional Water Ski tourna ment at Gardener lake Aug. 8, 9 and 10, naturally will have championship! as their goal.

Slat riders contending in the Crater Lions club-sponsored local meet, who place among the top five in the re spective events will qualify for the national tourney of the American Water Ski associa tion later this month at Chip- ley, Ga. National berths will be sought in slalom, jump, indi vidual trick and mixed doubles trick rivalry and in men's, women's, veterans, jun ior boys and junior girls divi sions. There will be competi tion in a pee wee dvision but not for qualification in the na tionwide meet. Qualifications Strict Not just any skier may vie in regional on the small man- made lake 15 miles by car from Medford and northeast of the Jackson county seat. Entry qualifications for the forthcoming meet here are very strict, according to Lon Skinner who is heading up preparations for the tourney for Crater Lions and for Gar dener Lake Ski club.

Rookies Show Power The Giants appeared on their way to an easy victory on the strength of heavy slug ging by rookies Leon Wagner and Willie Kirkland. Wagner had four hits, including two homers, and knocked in three runs while Kirkland drove in three runs with a homer and two singles. Big blows in the Redlegs' five-hit rally were a two-run To enter trick contention in the men's class the skier must be able to pass through a 200 yard course and score a total of 800 points or $iore using the trick riding values of 1958 tourney rules. For all other divisions a rat ing of first class is needed. These classes are veteran, men 35 and over; women, those 17 and over; junior boys and girls, ages 13 through 16. For the slalom a skier must be able to go 22 miles per hour both ways through the course. For jumping a leap of at least 35 feet off a five-foot jump is required.

First through fifth place in invitational tourney events also qualifies for the regional.

There will be practice and rating activity from 8 a.m. until dark. Boats and drivers will be furnished by the tournament commit tee. Skinner is qualified by the ASWA to rate tourney aspirants. Crater Lions have received a number of inquiries from clubs and individuals concern ing the regional. These skiers while a number of them are good, have been unpracticed in meet events and have not been qualified for the tourney. Some have tried to qualify and have not been able to make the required ratings.
