The meeting will he to turn in equipment and to dis cuss next year's league. Aderhold and tluee members of Georgia's athletic board testi fied Wednesday -as rebuttal wit nesses for the Post in the trial which is now well into its second week. The Post claimed that Butts conspired to rig the 1962 Georgia-Alabama football game. All four, under questioning by Post attorney W'elborn Cody, tes titled tnat Butts character was bad." One of them, Harold Hcckman, said he wouldn't be lieve Butts under oath. Cody said he will continue with rebuttal witnesses today in the federal court suit and that he will introduce the long-awaited deposition by Frank Scobey, Chicago beer distributor who once told a Senate rackets committee that he placed bets on horse rac ing and football games. Cody told the 12 businessmen making up the jury at the trial's onset last week that he will prove that Butts associated with 'known gamblers." William Schroder, chief counsel for Butts in his fight to restore the luster to a nationally known coaching reputation that elevatedi him to the presidency of the Foot ball Coaches Association, said that he will call Dr. Rose as a rebuttal witness.

Actual testimony could end today, with summations and court charges coming up Friday. Butts sued the Post following publication in the magazine's March 23 issue of a story enti tled "The Story of a College Foot-j ball Fix." The story said that an Atlantal insuranceman.

The Medo-Bels put on the game1 to help raise funds for the All- Star team to go to the Pacific Northwest Semi-Pro Tournament in Washington this weekend. The Medo-Bels will take on Pasco, Wash., in the first game Friday at noon in Bellingham, Wash. This vill be the first trip to such a tournament for the Medo-Bels. Mar,field, the Klamath Union High School baseball coach turned in a neat pitching per formance. He allowed 12 hits but they were scattered and he did his best pitching in the clutch when he needed it the most. He struck out 13 in going the route despite having missed several weeks of ball because of school. The Medo-Bels rapped out 13 hits off loser Dave Lemos with Sherm Allen, shortstop, center fielder John Bianchi and Don Gresdel leading the attack at the plate. Allen blasted a pair of doubles and a single in five trios to the plate while Bianchi had a double and two singles. Gresdel had a pair of singles and two RBIs. Mansfield struck out five of the first six outs and gave up a triple tn E'vv Mazzoni who was his foe all night. Mazzoni had Weed Fruzia.

Catcher Tony Scllari led off by whiffing but Dean Dun son drew a walk. Allen then smashed the first of his two dou bles and Dunson held at third. Both raced home on Gresdel' s sharp single to right field. Gresdel took second on a passed ball and scored when Mansfield slapped a double to left. The hit was actually a single but Mans field caught the outfielder sleep ing and never slowed down going past first and took second. Blake Griggs walked and Bianchi sin gled to plate Mansfield. Griggs held up at third and tried to go Mode Of Operation By Ruth Leagues Explained Fully The Klamath Basin Babe Ruth team today began its long jour ney to Farmington, N.M., and the World Scries Babe Ruth Tourna ment where the Nationals will be one of 10 teams throughout the, world. It hasn't been an easy road getting to the World Scries but the local team fought its way there by improving with each game ond playing team ball. A team ol civic-minded men had in mind to help raise funds to send the team on this trip by plane, but the team left this morning in the state-owned ye hides as previously planned. Bob Mczgcr, president of the Babe Ruth League here, said that the tram and the coaches, and the Babe Ruth League, appreci ated the effort and the civic minded thought of the men but stated that this route and mode had been set up earlier and was done so by the state Babe Ruth League. Perhaps the financial setup of Babe Ruth League should be ex plained. The league play locally is financed almost wholly by the sponsors of the various teams. They take in most of the expense year after year on the material and equipment. Each league must be registered with the national office and the sponsors also pay home on Ray Taylor's shot to, shortstop. Ron Owings singled to send Bianchi home with the fifth run. The sixth run came in the third when, with one out, Allen slapped a double. He scored when Mans field's bit ball was thrown high over the first baseman s head. The final two runs came in the fifth on Allen's single to right. He stole second and scored when the first baseman let the throw from third base get past him Mansfield was safe on the play and later scored on Ray Taylor's Roseburg Meets Billings Team ROSEBURG (UPD Roseburg will meet Billings. Mont., in the first round of the Regional Ameri can Legion Junior baseball tour nament tonight. Roseburg, with a 47-9 record, and Billings have been picked tournament cofavorites. The Bill ings team enters the six-teams, double-elimination affair with a 43-9 mark. Cheyenne, Wyo., was to meet Sclah, Wash., at 1:30 p.m. today. At 6 p.m. Lewiston, Idaho, will meet Anchorage, Alaska. The Oregon-Montana contest is scheduled or 8:15 p.m. Waterfowl Kill Limits Upped WASHINGTON (UPD - Pacific flyway waterfowl hunters will have a chance to kill more ducks, coots and geese this season than last under regulations announced Wednesday by the Interior De partment's Fish and Wildlife Service. States in the Pacific Flyway will be able to exercise several options for duck and coot seasons. They can set a season of 75 consecutive days with a basic daily bag and possession limit on duck of eight five and ten or six and six, that fee and the insurance for the players. The league makes money by selling the yearly brochure and the advertising therein, sells tickets and operates tlie conces sion at Gem Stadium. Mezger said that the league's expenses lor a year were around $2,500. Now, when tournament play be gins on the district level, the district itself pays most of the way via gate receipts. That is the district level and is separate from the state. The leagues pay their own expenses going to the state tournament, but are reim bursed by the State Babe Ruth League to a reasonable point. The teams may go the best pos sible route to the state and live expensively, but probably will be reimbursed for only a reasonable amount of this. Mezger states that the local backing has been excellent and he hopes it shall continue to be. The state provides the whole ticket for the trips to Regional. The Oregon State Babe Ruth or ganization is one of the best or ganized among the 47 states that participate. The limitations die Regional trip pay for only two coaches. The third, if there is one, is sponsored at the local league's expense. Mezger alsol said I hat the locals felt here that the extra supervision has been worth it and that it has been very pood on the trips. 1 he National Babe Ruth organ ization provides the transporla tion and expenses to the World Series and the reimbursements go to the states, not the local organizations. '. Mezger stressed the "fine sup-; port" that is helping to send; these boys and that he hopes the? enthusiasm and good support coc tinues. "We are not soliciting- funds now. The tournaments have been a burden, however, and if anyone wishes to help out it will be greatly appreciated." The team will enter this tour nament with a brilliant team bat ting average of .330. Shortstop Dave Lyman leads the attack with a great .532 average. He has 25 hits in 47 at bats. Bob! Moore is right on his heels with! 25 hits in 49 at bats for a classV. 510 mean in the 14 tournament games. They both also are co-' leaders of the runs-batted-in cate gory with 15 each. They also have the most hits with 25 each. Moore leads in doubles with sev en and Lyman in triples with four. Moore has scored the most runs. Mike McNary has the most walks by working 16. He is hit ting .366. Bob Williams is sec. ond in RBIs with 13. Williams' also shows a brilliant pitching record. He is 4-0 with a brilliant 0.86 earned run average. He hai allowed only four earned runs jit 33 and two-thirds innings, ha.-) whiffed 59, walked only 12 and given up only 17 hits. Moore has a 6-1 record with a 3.00 ERA and 64 strike outs. He has walked 35 in 44 and one-third in nings. However, he lias been very good since going into the state tourney. Player Dave Lyman Bob Moore Mike North Mike McNary G.
