Salem's only serious bid to score was in the third inning when infield hits by Sue Hen dric and Maurine Schollian and a stolen base by Schollian put runners .on second base with two out. Sherry Larson grounded out to retire the side. - Eugene came close to a marker in the third canto when Millie Powell singled, stole second and went to third base on a groundout by Nina Edwards.

Hillsboro got by Klamath Falls 12 to 7 Friday afternoon to eliminate that team from the tournament.

CALL: , SP 2-9016 READY MIX CONCRETE 1180 Ellendale Dr. ' Medford (Right Off Barnett Rd.) Protest Rejected By Giles Cincinnati - (DPD - National League President Warren Giles conceded Saturday that Bill Rigney had a point, but still rejected a protest by the San Francisco Giants' man ager which arose during a 20-9 loss to the Chicago Cubs last Thursday. Rigney based his protest on the fact Tony Taylor of the Cubs, on third base at the time, fielded a foul grounder off Ernie Banks bat in the fifth , inning. The Cubs led 10-7 at the time. Quoting rule 7:09-C, Giles said "the rule states a runner is out if he intentionally de flects the course of a foul ball in any manner." Taylor Wrong "Taylor did touch the ball and was wrong in so doing," Giles added, "But rule 7:09-C was -never intended as a pen alty for" such an act as this, which had no effect whatever on the particular play. The primary purpose is to prevent a runner or batter from de flecting the course of a foul ball into fair territory to ad vantage their team. No such action was evident here." NEL TO TV-TAPE GAMES .

(Sci ence Service)-Evidence has been found that may explain the sudden epidemics of hog Cholera in whole herds of swine. It appears that the causative virus gains entry into the body through the animals tonsils. Spurred on by a report that polio viruses may infect hi mans through the " tonsils, three veterinary scientists at the Pennsylvania State Uni versity here designed a hog Cholera study. They discov ered that hogs develop the deadly disease after their tonsillar areas are exposed to the virus. However, no in fection was evident in ani mals, which were exposed via the gastro-intestinal tract. The scientists suggested that the rapid spread of the disease may occur through ingestion of lung worm eggs, which have been shown as reservoirs for hog cholera virus. Tribute Paid To Telescope Maker Washington (Science Serv-ice)-The United States is fin ally paying official tribute to Henry Fitz, the nation's first commercial telescope maker, whose mid-19th century ef forts gave American astrono mers telescopes that compared favorably with imported in struments. Tools from the first Fitz telescope shop, established jn the 1840s in Manhattan, New York City, , have been in stalled in an exhibit at the 6mithsonian Institution here. They were donated by Louise Fitz Howell, Southold, Long Island, N. Y., Fitz grand daughter." Fitz made instruments for Columbia College, Vassar College, the University of Michigan, the Dudley Ob servatory, the Allegheny Ob servatory, and a number of private observatories. Some of his instruments reportedly are still in use. Virus Cause of Cattle Disease Beltsville, Md. . (Science Service)-A virus much like the one found in children with respiratory diseases is at least partly responsible for "shipping fever" - a costly cattle disease. . Described as a major breakthrough in researchers' understanding of the disease, identification of the virus means a start can be made towards' producing an effec tive vaccine. - Veterinarians at the U. S. Department of Agriculture's research center here have isolated para-influenza 3 virus from the nasal mucus of calves showing signs of shipping fever. Mild cases of the disease were then pro duced in healthy animals by spraying this virus into their noses. The virus was also grown in tissue culture and anti-serum produced., It appears, however, that many infectious agents may be responsible for this wide spread respiratory disease of cattle, Dr. Robert C. Reisinger said. Much more will have to be learned about this disease complex before an effective vaccine is produced, the USDA researcher believes. 1 car P - I 00 1 JAY ALLEN COMPANY 1078 Court ,1JW,W ' i RUSSIAN EXHIBIT TaMng in the Soviet Exhibition at' New York's Coliseum, two nuns stop to study a set of -pastoral paintings.

' Railroad Ties Assist Marriage Beaver, Pa. -(UPD- William Freed is one husband you'll never hear complain about being "railroaded" into mar riage. As far as he and his wife Jane are concerned, railroad ties are the ties that bind. Not only their minds but their careers have been run ning on the same track even before their marriage 12 years ago. Both come from railroad families. They met while working on the Pennsylvania Railroad, Now, they are both signal tower operators on the day shift. Their 45-foot trailer home in Racine, not far from here, exudes enthusiasm for .rail road life. A large oil painting of a Pennsylvania piggyback train decorates one wall; a model railroad section is dis played on their small spinet organ. Railroad magazines and timetables are their fa vorite literature. On - vacations, the Freeds like to camp out chosing sites near railroad tracks "to see and hear the trains." A typical evening of re laxation at home finds Bill playing the mandolin and Jane 1 the spinet - harmoniz ing on railroad ballads.
