To make room for the big right-hander, the Twins optioned southpaw Ted Sa dowski to Vancouver of the Pacific Coast league. Regular play in American Legion junior baseball's southern division of Area 4 comes to conclusion this week end. Central Point Cheney Siuds and Klamath Falls Hawks have their league windup ac tion this evening. The game will be at Memorial field, White City, at 7:30 p.m. Klamath Falls Falcons go to Grants Pass for a Sunday afternoon twinheader with the first game counting in the standings. The Studs tonight will aim for a break even mark in the circuit. They are 3-4 in the standings in a position to tie for third place. To the Studs completion of their 1962 slate with a win would be all the more pleasing because victory would snap a seven game losing skein. 3-Way Tia Possible Coach Bill Askwith is ex pected to pick between Mike and Larry Pepper for the pitching work. For the Hawks mentor Johnny Paxton could choose between Bob Neeley and Rich Grow. The Hawks have already relegated to the cellar with a 1-6 record. Despite their unspectacu lar league mark, the Hawks are capable of giving the Studs a go. They hold a 6 to 5 non-loop nod over the Central Point crew which won a counter from the Klamathites 9 to 1. Only league win by the Hawks was by 13 to 12 over Med ford. If the KF Falcons (5-2) beat the Grants Pass Mock Ford club (4-3) on Sunday in the opener, they'll successfully defend their division diadem and enter play for the Area 4 mantle. If Grants Pass wins, it, the Falcons and Medford Cokes, (5-3) will be knotted and in final standings a play off will be needed. Jerry McCormack for GP and Marv Edwards or Gary Benson for the Falcons could be the mound foes. . Meanwhile, Medford will keep in tune Sunday with a 1 p.m. doublebill at White City against Rosehurg.
