This is the first year that this tournament has been held outside of Portland, which makes the local Softball officials and the city Itself pioneers in moving the "big show" from the "big town. Jack Kemnitzer. a member of the city school physical education department, and summer sports director for the city recreation depart ment has taken the position as tournament director, and what a job It has been. Kemnitzer, along with several right hand men, are seeking to make this year's gal's playoffs the finest ever held in the state, and with a little help from the public this is well within reach. The way Kemnitzer hopes the people of the Basin will respond is through the ticket sales now being staged by the local Jaycees. The season ticket, which sells for $3 entitles the holder to all 20 scheduled games. The Individ ual tickets for each game Is 50 cents tor adults and 25 cents for students. If Softball fans are plan ning on seeing four or more games during the tournament it would be a definite advantage to Invest In the season ducat. Bend took a 1-0 lead in the dis trict softball playoffs last night as they dumped Suburban of Klam ath Falls 2-0 at Conger Field in the opener of the best of three game series and the right to enter the men s state torunament to be played in Eugene this monih. The two softball squads were very evenly matched a." the spec tators that were on har d witnessed. Bend's VFW diamond crew took advantage of Suburban's short- coinings and walked off with the victory. This evening at Bend the same two teams meet in the second and third games of the series. Should Bend win the first game, then they would automatically draw the dis trict nod for the state tourney. If Klamath wins the ooener, a second fray tonight would be the "rubber game. ' Game time is 8 o clock JACK KEMNITZER .... a iki fan's help MEMBERS OF THE Klamath Junior Chamber of Commerce will hn nnehinir the sale nf these tickets . e ... . ... this week as will memoers oi tne Tflnmath Racin-ettea. The miblic's j! support of this ticket drive could very well determine the success of the tournament, And don't fool yourself. These teams aren't here Just for ball playing. Their stay in Klamath Falls will leave plenty of money in the tills of local business men and merchants that would never have lound its way here unless Klamath played host to the state playoffs. A chat with Erv Lind, sponsor. manager-boss of the famed Erv Lind Florists of Portland, former TME OUT In last night's fracas on the Con ger diamond, Bend tabulated one run in the scorebooks in the open ing Inning as Don Campbell opened with a bunt single and moved to second on a passed bell. A short while later Campbell scored from third on another ball that eluded catcher Al Van Orden. The second run of ihe evening came in the third as Campbell led off again, this lime by gaining first on a base on ballo. Then the big blow of the ga.ne and Bend's sec ond hit came about as Marvin Lines cracked out a double scor ing Campbell. Bend pitchar Tom Ray was very effective with his wind mill pitch as he fanned It Suburban hitters. Chuck Ruff Kimboll. Suburban chucker served up a two hitler as did Ray, but his teammates were unable to cross home plate. The lone hlis lor the losing Subs ere both singles, a first Inning lnfie'.d blow by Roy Hanii and Kimboll added another single In the fourth. Other than these brief flur ries. Ray was in little trouble If any. Linescore: R H E Bend VPW 101 0.10 0 2 3 0 Suburban 000 000 0 0 3 0 Ray and Keil; Kimboll and Van Orden. flip! H evalii an CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR Beavers Edge Seals, 1 Seattle Socks Twinks world women's softball champions, throws some interesting copy on the state tournament subject. And Erv is one person who should know about the state's softball picture. He not only has one of the finest women's teams In the world, but Erv is also a member of the board of directors for the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League. Lind offered the fact that the tournament should again be a hard fought affair with Lake Oswego and Klamath Falls the main springs of the show. If this comes true, It will be the third year in a. row that Klamath Falls and Oswego have met in the linals of the slate play offs. In 1953 the Oswego team came out on top with Klamath second best. Last year it was just the opposite with Klamath leading the field. THE FLORISTS HAVE MET several of the tournament teams this year including the Basin-ettes and Lind still sides in with the Mer maids and the Klamath entry. Erv also pointed out that strong compe tition can be expected from Forest Grove, Eugene and Salem. Another entry that we look for to pull a surprise or so, is the Merrill team. These "young" ball players are not our pick to win the four day play off, but if they are given an Inch they will take a mile. Ask any of their opponents in the Klamath Falls league. Fred Taylor has a band of hustlers, and with hustle the by-word, anything can happen. In a tournament or otherwise. Oswego must be going all out to retake the state title this year, and just for spite they have picked up one of the top softball players in the state just recently. Thelma Parris Carlson, formerly with the Lind Florists, will be seen in the state tournament lor the first time since she joined the Florists 10 years ago. It looks as if the battle for state catching honors Is also shaping this year. A clipping from an up-state paper indicates that Salem has a first rate receiver In Lois Duncan who won all-star acclaim in the recent Eugene Invitational. Klamath has Teddy Walker, a fireball with plenty of diamond experience and 1953-54 all-state catcher. All in all it could develop into the finest tournament ever as we men tioned'before.

Basin-ettes, Roseburg '9' Collide Today Two of the 1955 stale women's softball tournament entry will vie here this afternoon at Conner Field in what could be classified as a tournament warm up battle as the Klamath Falls Basin-ettes host Ihe Roseburg Rosebuds. Game lime Is 1 o'clock.
