Maids kept alive in the wom

State Softball association by
crunching tired Hillsboro 15
to 1 here yesterday afternoon
but faced rougher prospects
ahead in defense of the ban
ner they claimed last year.
. Hillsboro was eliminated by
the loss, cutting to four the
title-aspiring field in the
double elimination rivalry at
this Veterans Administration
domiciliary park. And, one
more team was to have fallen
by the wayside after last
night's Salem Shamrock-Dairy
Maid one-time losers fray.

the loser takes on the Shamrock-Maid
winner at 1:30 pm
today in scrap for the other
final berth. Since a team must
be whipped twice to be ousted,
two games may be required
this evening.
Grand Slam Homer
. Ellen Callaghan whammed
a grand slam inside the park
' home run and tripled in two
more Dairy Maids in the 13-
hit assault yesterday against
Economy Drug. 4 Pitcher Pat
Barron coasted on a four-hitter,
cracked two safe swats
-jand drove in two runs. Nadine
Brood clouted three for the
' hostess team and ' Jan Bate
man had a pair 6f hits.
Rogue Valley clubbed
Marge Fishback for its first
five runs and five hits and
Bev Chamberlain for the rest.
Hillsboro's Fern Wilgus man
aged two of the hits of Barron,
:who struck out Druggist bat
ters seven times. Wilgus drove
in her team's only run.
. The Maids put three of
their hits with an error and
wild pitch for two runs in the
first inning. They got four
scores in the second inning on
tow hits, two errors, three
walks, a wild pitch and two
fielder's options. Callaghan's
roundtrip was put with three
other blows, a walk and an
eror for five runs in the third
Diane Wall and Callaghan put
triples with Brood and Barron
singles in the four-run fourth.
The game went-only five
innings under the rule ending
play when a club has a 10-run
or more lead and the trailing
team has batted five times.
Big Winning For Larks
Forest Grove, recording its
second triumph of the tourna
ment, broke loose on four hits
and three errors for. all of its
runs in the fifth inning to
trounce the Dairy Maids on
Friday. All of the runs were
unearned. McCulloch Chain
Saw capitalized on a single by
Wanda Conner and a triple by
Carolyn Jones, back to back in
the fourth inning, to tip the
Shamrocks in an errorless en
counter. Marian Kozak threw two-
hit. 11 strikeout ball and
drove in two runs with a
triple to lead the Meadowlarks
" in the skirmish with Rogue
Valley. Maddy Lindsay, Don
na Oleson and Jan Ruhlin
singled in the beginning. Two
bad throws to first base on
Grover bunts and a dropped
ball on an attempted out at
the plate hurt the Rogue Val
ley nine.
The Maids tabulated in the
fourth inning. Ellen Calla
ghan smashed the ball to right
field for a three-bagger and
Jean Main put down a fine
sacrifice squeeze bunt on the
angle between third base and
the pitching slab. Bernice Big
ham socked a bases-empty
double in the same frame for
the only other Rogue Valley
hit. She got to third base on
a miscue but was out on a
pick-off play.
Brilliant Debut
Kozak walked just two bat
ters. Pat Barron pitched 4 13
innings for the Dairy Maids,
giving up all five Grove hits
and being charged with all six
runs. Janet Hoodenpyl tripled
for the Larks in the second, in
ning but was trapped in a run-
do wn on Nancy Butler's
ground ball.
Both Lois Winn of Eugene
and Phyllis Nybakke of Salem
tossed three-hitters as those
clubs made their debut in the
1959 tourney. Winn walked
two and Nybakke one and Ny
bakke whiffed two batters.
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. She tried to come
home when a pitch got by
catcher Betty Mantyla. But
the receiver recovered the
ball and made the put out.
Hillsboro got by Klamath
Falls 12 to 7 Friday afternoon
to eliminate that team from
the tournament. The Economy
Druggists built a 6 to 0 lead
over the first two innings but
were in front only 7 to 6 after
4V6 frames. In the bottom of
the fifth Hillsboro piled up
five runs to salt away the ver
dict. Klamath Falls actually out-
hit Economy, 12 to 10, and
had fewer errors, two to the
Druggists' five. However, the
Hillsboro nine capitalized on
walks and wild pitches.
Joyce Baier headed the Hills
boro hitting, driving home
four runs with a triple and a
double. Jeanne Delphanche
and Virginia McMillan also
socked two 'safeties for the
Drug club. Ruth Hagelstein
and. Chris Shearer each col
lected three hits for Klamath
with Hagelstein dobuling. Kar
en Smith clubbed two Basin-
ette hits including a double
which drove in all three runs
in the third inning.

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."

Tonsils Path for
Hog Cholera Virus
University Park t Pa. (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.

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.
