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

locals.
Ryan has a fine pitching staff,
probably the . best in the loop.

There will be no fights at the

First-Place Standings;
Dodger Winning Stopped
By Th Associated Press
Pennant-starved Boston, which
hasn't boasted a championship
team since 1918, has good reason
for dreaming today of its first
flag winner in 28 years, and
with a little luck could possibly
be the center of an all-city
world series next October.
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.

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

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

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

time in the seven-game series he
