ODPOBID By HALE SCARBROOGH Soonsors Needed The girls it taking an Interest In softball. ... Last Friday Softball backers here discovered that there is a good chance that probably four or more teams will be formed among the ladies, and that one has a 1 r e a a y been gotten to gether in Mer rill, and thnt they will be looking for a spot on the schedule this summer along with several men's teams. They figure ' they can get their own learns up and . locate places for practice. etc., but will need sponsors. Backers have already come forward willing to sponsor men's squads Elks, Moose, Eagles, Palmerton Lumber and so on but what about the girls? Surely there are a dozen busi nesses, concerns, lodges or groups here in town who will tell the ladies "okay" when they come looking for a sponsor. If we get a male Softball league started, great, but if we also get a ladies' league oper ating, greater still. Next Friday there is to be another meeting to draw up a ; schedule, formulate the boys' loop, plan for the use of practice '. and playing fields and generally get the Softball rolling, so by then the girls ought to be or- ; ganlzed enough to get their word in. So if you are interested In sponsoring a girl softball team this summer it would be a good idea to make it known before then. Contact Gloria Mayfield at the high school or buzz this corner and I'U relay along the information. Ed Ryan, Pelican baseball coach, is casting an eye at the . state high school baseball tour ney this spring. He has a very good team, evi denced by the shutout over Med- ford last Friday, and possibly needs only to whip Grants Pass ; to represent this end of the state In the tourney. The Pelicans play Ashland . Tuesday afternoon at 3 p. m. on . Del Moro field. Ashland has already suffered at the hands of the Pels once this season. Only '. Grants Pass has defeated the locals. Ryan has a fine pitching staff, probably the . best in the loop. consisting ofJJoe Carroll, Irviri . Whitt and Pal Williams, and on , of those ladslwill do the elbow ing against the Grizzlies. , There will be no fights at the ' armory Tuesday night, as pre- ' vlously scheduled. The boxers ' asked for a little more time to ' get into condition for the open- ' ing card and so the docket has been put off until Tuesday, 1 May 7.

Both Boston representatives the Red Sox and Braves swept double-headers from their Phil adelphia rivals yesterday to change the pennant pictures. The Red Sox whipped the Athletics 2-1 and 5-1, and the Braves took the measure of the Phils 6-1 and 2-1- The coup de grace engineered by the Red Sox placed Joe Cro nin's hopefuls at the top of the American league, a full game in front of the New York Yan kees. The Braves, still rebound ing from a hitless afternoon against Brooklyn's Ed Head last Tuesday, are in third place after four straight victories. Only one game seperates them from the tront-running Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. Double Reversal The Brooks and Cards each suffered a double reversal. The Mew York Giants supplied the knockout punch to tneir inter- borough rivals before 34,181 pay ing customers, and the cnampion Cnicago Cubs gave the Kedbirds a thorough going over. As might be expected, it was Goody Kosen. a Dodger hireling himself only last Friday, who packed the biggest wallop of all the Giants. His three singles in the first game and a tnree-run homer and one-bagger in the second were the big blows of the Giants' 7-3 and 10-4 decisions. Rosen shared honors with Hal Schumacher who made his first start since leaving for the navy three years ago. Schumacher spaced seven hits in the opener to snap Brooklyn's eight-game winning streak. Cubs Revenged The Cubs got revenge for three- previous defeats by the Kedbirds by winmng -7 and 3-1 before 31,699 fans. A single by Charlie Gilbert scored the winning marker for the Cubs In the 10th inning of the opener after Tommy Livingston's homer had tied the score in the ninth. In the nightcap, Lefty Johnny Schmitz was just too good for the Cards' Ken Burkhardt Knuckleballer Roger Wolff knocked the Yankees out of first place 3-1 with a well-placed seven-hitter as Teamates Stan Spence provided the winning margin with a double in the eighth that scored two runners. Allen Gettel, after two straight victories, was charged with the defeat. The Tigers disappointed the largest crowd in Detroit's his tory 57,149 paid admissions by bowing to the Cleveland In dians 3-1 in 12 innings to sink deeper into third place. Red Embree, who held the Tigers to six hits and would have had a shutout but for Hank Green berg's second home run of the season, won his own game when he doubled in two mates in the 12th. Fourth Straight Cincinnati's unpredictable Reds gained their fourth straight vic tory over Pittsburgh's Pirates 7-1 as Ed Heusser held the Bucs in check with seven safeties. Bookie Grady Hatton was the big gun with a homer, double and single and batted in four runs. Aged Ted Lyons of the Chi cago White Sox registered his 260th triumph, his first since his release from the U. S. ma rines, by taming the St. Louis Browns 4-3 in the first game of a double-header. The Browns, scoring nine unearned runs in the first frame won the second contest 11-8, as the White Sox used 22 players including seven pitchers. Classified Ads Bring Results.

Short Trips Mot Yourself Ssv H STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 8304 1201 East Main By HALE SCARBROUGH The Pelican edge over Medford's Uluck Tornudo in the South ern Oregon-Northern California invitational track meet at Modoc field Saturday was due principally to a five-point advantage the K-mcn held over tho Tornado m strictly weight events. Speed and distance events went to the Tornado by one point. Klamath's point majority was 57 V to S3 Hi for Medford. Bend placed third with 30, followed closely bv Ashland's 2tf', Grants Pass came fifth with IS, Weed scored 9, Henley 6', Alturas 4, Bonanza 3 and Tulelake 2, The victory was Klamath's fourth in a row in the huge meet, but individuul honors went to George Kasiuussen, mainstay of the Bend cinder team who cap- tured the pole vault, high luir- dies, tied for first in the high jump and ran a leg of Bend's fourth in the relay, amassing a total of 15 personal points. Victory Hinged The Pelican win might be pinned to one event, the broad Jump, which was won by Tom my Edwards. Irvin Whitt placed fourth, putting six points onto the Klamath total while the Tornado failed to place in this event. Most track and tourney rec ords remained inviolate through Saturday afternoon. Fullerton, Ashland's distance star, toured the mile in 4:35.5, paring 11 H seconds from the meet record. Rasmussen's best vault was 12 feet 3 inches, an inch and a half better than the meet rec ord. Singler's 24 seconds on the low hurdles tied a meet mark. Missed Three Tries Rasmussen, who had pulled 12 feet 8 inches Friday at Sa lem for a new state vault rec ord, tried three times for 12-6 Saturday afternoon but knocked off the cross bar each time. Sixteen teams were entered in the meet and although the big four Klamath, Medford, Bend and Ashland dominated the field, only Lakeview, Mc Cloud, Malin, Dorris, Redmond and Prineville failed to place.

Mills Clinches Softball Title Mills ran away with another championship Saturday, taking two straight softball games from previously undefeated Roosevelt by huge scores to win the grade school A league tourney. Friday's game, Roosevelt's first defeat, was a 20-0 landslide for Mills and the Saturday play off was an equally landsliding 26-2 win for Mills. Gaynor Huck elbowed both games for the win ners. The B league meet gets under way this' afternoon with Roose velt playing Mills on the high school field at 4:30 and Fre mont taking on Fairview on Roosevelt field at 4:30.

Phon I8S9 Beat On Track Martino will Not Defend Muscle Title A situation has now developed among the cauliflower-ear cir cle which has everybody mad at everybody else and Georges Dusette more than mad at Ras sler Martino Angelo and Pro moter Mack Lillard. Dusette has whipped Angelo rather soundly twice in a row here and in the opinion of the fans he can probably turn the trick at any given moment, night or day. Before their fight Mar tino verbally promised Georges it ne won they would then rassle again for the coast junior heavy belt owned by Angelo. Being the titleholder carries with it some prestige in the mat world and also enables the bearer to demand more potatoes lor his services than ordinarily. But Dusette won and Angelo has pulled a Jimmle Braddock. He refuses to defend his title, saying that there was no agree ment on paper and just try and make him. All efforts have failed to per suade the jabbering Italian so tar and Dusette has left the vi cinity in a huge huff. Martino, tired of hearing about such in tangibles as honor and obliga tion, has also departed. So at the moment this week's card consists solely of Angelo Martinelli, an easy guy to get along with if there ever was one, who is signed to fight the first person who comes along a three round opener. Channel Swim Attempt Fails AVALON. Calif.. April 29 (P) Jimmy Slytcr, who hoped to swim the 22 miles of the channel between Avalon and Point Fer min on the mainland, was forced to give up after covering five miles Saturday night. Slytcr, 19-year-old navy vet eran of 10 Pacific battles, was strong and making good progress when a water taxi struck him on the head while he was being given liquid food through a tube. The accident occurred at 10:49 o'clock, two hours, 49 min utes after he started the swim. Slyter's friends had raised about $1000 by subscription to meet expenses incident to the swim. The money will be turned over to him and the youngster plans to start again on the swim soon. He was not seriously hurt but a doctor, accompanying the expedition in another boat, ad vised him to leave the water. Paddler Falters But Sets Water Record AKRON, O., April 29 (AP) Betty Laohok of Akron was the new women's national AAU 220 yard free style swimming record-holder today despite the fact that she nearly tossed away a record-breaking performance last night by stopping 20 yards short of the finish line. The 19-year-old high school senior "drew up" at the end of 200 yards in the annual North eastern Ohio AAU Swimming Championships but, spurred by her coach, splashed through the final 20 yards for a new record of 2:30.9. Catherin Rawls set the former national mark of 2:32.5 at Coral Gables, Fla., in 1938.

Cliff Melton Wins Sixth Game For Leading Seals Bv Th Associated Press The San Francisco faithful whose anguish followed their pride and joy of the mound into major league baseball this season had no complaints today over the dicker that brought west big Cliff Melton to take his place. Among the most satisfied was Manager Frank (Lefty) O'Doul of San Francisco's Pacific Coast league pace-makers as Melton went to the head of league's pitchers yesterday on his sixth consecutive win, allowing only one earned run in beating Sacra mento, 9 to 3. Melton came down from the New York Giants after nine sea sons in the services of Bill Terry and Mel Ott, and his delivery is fast removing the pangs of the San Francisco followers over tho loss of Bob Joyce. Smith Blanks Sals After Melton racked up his sixth victory with the backing of his mates 15-htt barrage, tne Sacramento Solons put Al Smith on the hill and for the second time in the seven-game series he blanked the Seals, 1 to 0.
