The commission's recommen dation was made at the request of the army's western delense command, although some com missioners said they saw no necessity for the closure and the entire body adopted a reso lution petitioning Lieut. Gcn J. L. DcWitt to reconsider. General DcWitt asked that the season be closed because, of the extreme fire hazard he said he was convinced it represented Territory which tne closure order would encompass covers Suntti Cruz, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Yolo, Colusa, Glenn, Lake and Mendocino counties and that section of Humboldt county in fish and game district II lying west of the south fork of the Eel river.

LATINS FIND TENNIS TO THEIR LIKING In winning the Trl-Clty tour nament in Cincinnati and adding the New Jersey, Brooklyn and Eastern Clay Court champion ships on successive weekends, Segura's flamboyant play and striking successes captured the spectators' fancy. He beat highly-regarded Billy Talbcrt in the final in Cincin nati, Ladlslav Hecht in the Brooklyn and New Jersey and Schroeder in the Clay Court. He routed Hecht, a former Czcchoslovnkian Davis Cupper, by the amazing scores of 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 ln the New Jersey final. Schroeder, who had beaten him in the Sugar Bowl tournament in New Orleans, was disposed of under a broiling sun in one hour and 40 minutes, 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. "Tennis is bceg theeng ln South America," says Pancho, who has been In this country two years, speaks an accented English. He is studying business administration at Miami, Fla., University, has completed his freshman year. Entries in the Clay Court matches would seem to vouch for Latin interest in the game. Along with Segura, Eduardo Buse, jun ior champion of Peru; the Vegas brothers, Rolnndo and Armando, of MexIcAj Arturo Cano, Boliv ian vice-consul; and Alejo Rus sell, Argentine champion, who went to the semi-final round, competed. So don t be surprised If Pancho tho-encrgelio-EcuadorH tan, and his South and Central American colleagues supply most of tho flavor to U, S. tennis nt least for the duration.

Slapping out six runs In the second inning to leave a three run Kalplne bulge and take a similar lead, the KC's from there on were never headed. They add ed four in the fourth and one in tha fifth. A Kalplne surge good for five runs in the final frame before a man was out almost shot the Knights' title chances. English and J, Dcrrah whammed homers to spur tho Plywoods. But with tho quintet across the plate, the side was retired in order to end the game. L. Dcrrah's first-inning home run started the Kalplncs to their initial trio. They scored another In the fifth but,' save or the seventh Inning stretch drive, were quiet. Don Druliner's triple was the longest Knight blow of the eve nine Hurler Ford of the Knights gave the losers a dozen bingles while his mates were collecting all off Ashby.

Bigbills Need Four In Row for Playoff Bishop Names Haynes, Benham for Weekend Duty; Medford Meets GP Klamath's baseball Pelicans today were faced with the ab solute necessity of winning aii their next and last four ball games in order to tie for the championship of the Oregon Cali fornia Interstate league. Trailing the league-leading Medford club by two games, and with "the Craters a cinch for a double victory over Grants Pass this weekend, the Pelicans must twice knock over Dorris to night and Sunday at Dorris to stay in the running. And next week they must polish off Med- ford twice to end the season locked In first place with the current leaders. All of which means they must do much better against the Dor ris 'Jacks than . they have all season. So far Manager Ernie Bishop's men have split a half dozen games with the Call fornians. The order, but not the choice, of Bishop's mound selections this morning remained a mystery. He was expected to nominate, as usual, Ken Benham, former Whitman college mainstay, and Vlrg Haynes, the locals' winning pitcher with a record of eight won and one lost. The series will again see Bishop's revised lineup which includes Paul Crapo back at first, the manager on second, and Mario Pisan in Crapo's va cated outfield slot. Tonight's game Is scheduled to start at 6:30 and tomorrow's at 2:30.

Cody Kids Head East For National Splash Coach Not Overconfident of Repeat; Two Titleholders in Winged M Team PORTLAND, Aug. 8 (AP) The Cody Kids are heading east again with their perennial threat to National women's swimming records. Coach Jack Cody of the Multnomah Athletic club and his four-member team are en route to Neenah, Wis., today for the National outdoor championships Aug. 14-16. Three of the four are veterans of last year's team, including Brenda Helser, National sprint champion; Nancy Merki, world's record holder at 200 meters and defender of two national crowns, and Su zanne Zimmerman, whose improvement in the past year has been little short of sensational. The new member is 16-year-old Maryann Hansen who earned the replacement spot for Joyce MaCrae, who turned pro a few weeks ago, by her showing in the Oregon AAU meet last week. "Let's not talk too much about repeating with our cham pionships," Cody said last night as the team entrained for Wisconsin. "Take a look at past performances. Usually only one or two of the winners one year repeat the next. But don't sell us short. The kids are still good." Lifer Luke Crosswhite's Fast One Stirs Baseball Controversy - SALEM, Aug. 8 (AP) The "affaire Crosswhite" ended for the Salem Senators' base ball club late this morning as abruptly as It had started. Business Manager Al Lightner received telegraph ic orders from W. G. Bram ham, minor leagues commis sioner, not to sign or play Keith "Luke" Crosswhite, Oregon state penitentiary In mate pitcher, "nor any other convict." Then Warden George Alex ander announced that he had decided not to let Crosswhite out of the prison to play in the scheduled navy relief game between the Senators ' and the Silverton seml-pfo Red Sox Monday night, "or any other game." 'That ends il," said Light ner. "We'll abide by Judge Bramham's ruling."

Ortiz Lifts Crown From Lou Salica By ROBERT MYERS HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 8 (7P)-i The new bantamweight cham pion of the world Is a 25-year-old Mexican who a few years ago picked beans ln his native Im perial valley of California for $2 a day. The ex-beanpicker, ' Manuel Ortiz, lifted the bantamweight bauble off the weary brow of Lou Salica of New York last night in a 12-round match that kept 6,000 fans alternately ex cited and bored. The El Centro lad won going away, as they say around the horse parks, but the game little New Yorker, a veteran of more than 10 years in the prize ring, gave his best when he knew from the outset that his crown was slipping away from him. He tried to fight in close and got whipped. He stood off and let fly at long range, and the long-armed Mexican boy slapped him across the ring. It was revenge for Ortiz. Sa lica outpointed him in 1939, two years after Ortiz, winner of the National Golden Gloves title at Boston as a flyweight, had em erged from the amateur ranks. Salica earned his guarantee of $6,000, Ortiz got $250. The card netted 517,298, and some $10,000 will be turned over to buy athletic equipment for army camps in this region. Salica weighed 117, Ortiz 116J. The prisoner, b 1 g Keith "Luke" Crosswhite, had the per mission of State Prison Warden George Alexander to pitch in home games for the Salem' Sen ators of the Western Internation al league. But Judge W. G. Bramham, commissioner of minor league, telegraphed the Senators, "You are notified not to sign him or play him until full report to this office and until you hear from me." Crosswhite, convicted of kill ing State Patrolman A. L, "Spud" Helms 10 years ago, al ready has been signed by the Senators. Warden Alexander, who de scribed Crosswhite as "one of the best-behaved boys I have," explained that the pitcher would be allowed to leave prison only on the nights he was to pitch here. He would not be on the bench other times, nor would he travel with the club.

LJaJ They still era Viuk Frisco a good stone's throw from fourth place five games but are within one step of their longest winning stride of the season. Last night they bumped oft the St. Louis Cardinals 13-8 with one devastating eight-run blast in the second inning. There never was any doubt of the result because the Pi rates made 16 hits and Lefty Aldon Wilkie pitched winning ball in relief. This kept the Brooklyn Dodg ers from losing any of their ample first place margin, al though the champions war nosed out 2-1 in eleven innings by the Boston Braves. The trick was turned through a triple by Nanny Fernandez after two were out. A few minutes after Fernandez perched on third. Shortstop Peewee Reese fum bled Max West's grounder to let in the deciding run. The Braves were held to seven hits by Curt Davis and Hugh Casey, but used two oi them to fly to score in the sec ond inning. The New York Giants down-1 ed the - Philadelphia Phils 6-4 with a 14-hit attack. Carl Hub bell, veteran southpaw star oi the Giants, pitched perfect no hit ball for 5 13 innings. Then he tired and was touched for two-run homer by Mickey Liv ingston in the seventh and an other two-run circuit clout by Albie Glossop in the ninth, aft er which Ace Adams was called in to relieve him. In the only American league game the St. Louis Browns beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 with Chet Laabs' 20th homer of the year helping provide the im petus. er over prison affairs, wai watched with interest today, Crosswhite, now 30 years old, has been a star athlete since en tering prison. He has pitched the prison team to victories over most of the neighboring semi pro teams, often striking out IB ' or 17 men a game. Al Lightner, business manager of the Senators said the club planned to use Crosswhite Mon-, day night in an exhibition game against the semi-pro Silverton Red Sox for the navy relief fund, but would not use him against a Western International' club S2.40 QUART V- oil .1.35 PINT tjl JU romrt mUM t. uran. aV
