DUCK TRACKS ^■ngniiiiiniiiniinniiiiiiiiiiniiiniiiiiiiinuiiDiiiiiiimiiiiiiiininiiiniiiiiniii By ELBERT HAWKINS Ringleader of the Bailey cireus, Washington State’s loud hut happy Buck, left for Pullman with his boys after yesterday’s game in a passive mood for he’d accomplished exactly what the Cougar baseball team figured on doing in six road ' games against Washington, Ore gon State, and Oregon. Washing ton State's co-champions of tin; northern division split their three series, going home with three wins and three losses at the .500 mark. Having faced Oregon State’s co champions just previous to the Oregon series, he called the Orange “a good hitting team.” Like Idaho’s Forrest Twogood, he declared that Ralph Coleman has a better out field trio than Coach Hobby Hob son, but also mentioned that the Beaver pitching wasn’t up to par against the Cougars. Clayton Shaw, the big sopho more pitcher, who was batted out of the box by Oregon in the first inning, was termed Oregon State's “best looking." Takami and Mc Kinney, No. 1 and No. 2 men on , Coleman's pitching staff, were characterized as “not so good.” Best diamonds in the confer ence ? “Oregon, Washington State, and Washington," says the Cougar funny man. Of the Corvallis field: “It is a tough field to play on.” University of Idaho has the only non-turf diamond in the confer ence. Twogood calls it a "skinned diamond." * * * They’re si ill after Spec Kurkc to again call “ste-e-e-riltes” in the Coast league, hut the Portlander is too well pleased with his job in the operators’ license division with the state to accept. He once worked a stretch from 1!)2‘J to about 11)32 in foe Coast league but has since turned down $450 a month to go back. Spec works northern division games as a hobby and swears he’ll never again umpire for a living. The ump's $450 a month is for only about six months anif ho has to pay traveling expenses, etc. out of that. Furthermore, Spec likes his Sunday afternoons free for vaca tion trips and he didn't have one free for years when he officiated for a living. Toughest Oregon batter to dis pose of in the Wash inf gon State series according to Coach Buck Bailey and his catcher, Sam Kast man, was Slugger Busher Smith, the colorful Webfoot first base man. The Cougar brain trusters say Busher'll h,it anything you serve up, and hit it hard. Eastman called pitches in one place and held his glove in the opposite groove in an attempt to fool Busk er, but the Oregon sticker wasn't to be fooled. lillsher stepped to the plate nine limes in two names and got on taso on exactly seven occasions. Six of the trips were official and he got it single and two triples, walked once, sacrificed twice, and got life a seventh time when Left fielder Al llooper misjudged a fly hall Monday afternoon and hooted ~ it on a last second dive to the turf. , * # * I [ Umpire Spec Burke is so ini - ; pressed with Third Baseman Wim - ■ py Quinn's rifle-like arm he'd like ‘ | to see what the big Portlander ■ could do as a pitcher, or possibly ! in the outfield where sling-shot ; wings are needed. Wimp’s throws • ■ to first base travel probably faster ! than any infielder’s in the confer • ; ence, and Spec figures he could • i spot any of ’em a head start in ; ; fielding the ball and still throw his runner out at first base just as ’ fast. Three major league scouts who watched the Oregon-Washington ' State series were Bobby Coltrin of the New York Yankees, Willis But ler of the St. Louis Browns, and • Carl King for the Detroit Tigers ... one of the Cougar series’ out standing fielders wasn't really an . outfielder but a pitcher on a holi ' ' <hiy . . . Centerfieldcr Al Brannfors of Washing'on State is the pitcher and he accepted nine fly balls, some of them difficult catches, in the two Oregon games without or ror . . . Shortstop Klmer Mallorv showed the scouts something in base runhing by beating out font bunts against WSO in both games to give himself a total of four hits for nine trips at bat . . .

Betas, Pi Kaps, Sigma Nus, Delts Triumph in Donut Softball Engagements By BAY FOSTER Matt Pavalunas, who also plays a bit of basketball, pitched himself a very fine softball game last night for the Betas. In fact, if Ken Shipley hadn’t got his scratch single in the last of the seventh, it would have been a perfect game for Matt. The Betas won from the Phi Delts, 7 to 1. All seven Beta runs were made in the third inning. Bill Harrow led off with a single. George Corey was out, but Ross Kilborn hit, Bob Wintermute got life on a fielder’s choice, and Red McNceley got life on an error. Then chucker Pava lunas belted a long home run to score two ahead of him. Both 1 Knight and Hal Johnson hit to make the seven. Pavalunas struck out seven, while walking three. Bob Vadnais went the route for the Phi Delts ! and issued a single walk and ! strikeout. Summary: R H E Betas 007 000 0 7 7 1 Phi Delts .000 000 3—3 1 2 Batteries: Pavalunas and W. Bouman. B.

The result was a 2 to 1 victory for McKee and the Pi Kaps, but tins was not a certainty until the final seventh inning. j Outhit two binglcs to four, the Pi Kaps waited until the last inn ing to send Bob Folgedalen to lire plate to make up for their lone hit up to this time. Bob gave his all for "dear old Pi Kap," a lofty home run to end the game. | Cam Collier got two of Pi Kappa Psi’s four hits. McKee fanned 11, while Carlson got rid of only two the same way. Carlson issued four tree trips to first, and McKee al lowed three. Summary: R H E Pi Kaps 001 000 1 2 2 0 Phi Kappa Psi 000 100 0 1 4 1 Batteries: McKee and Smith. Carlson and Langston.

CALLING ’EM QUICK By UKOIMiE r.VSEKO Assistant Sports Editor This business of being ip love is bothering Buck Bailey no end In face, he's been a changed man since his wedding date was set. Sure, sure, he still rushes like a wild man at Umpire Spec Burke and threatens to knock his block off, sure, he still kicks and breaks bats, and sure, he still hollers at the top of his voice. But, nevertheless, if Buck Bailey keeps reforming al his present rate, he’ll become dig nified, in two or three more lessons. Imagine, old Buck, saying to Eastman, his catcher, "Sam, 1 raw thuh think you can, with a little luck, hit this mound artist,” instead of "Knock his block off, Sam. ’ Yesterday, Buck Bailey had to share the spotlight with two Ore o-on piayers. uou uaruy anu \x nu py Quinn. Quinn’s hitting was the difference between victory and de feat for Pitcher Hardy .whose hurling got better as the game progressed. A factor in the Oregon win, be lieve it or not. was a package of chewing tobacco given Coco Wal den. husky catcher, and Jim Nich olson, centerfielder, before the game, by Manager Pete Mitchell. After going hitless Monday, Wal den collected two hits and Nichol son poked out one. “That's what did it," laughed Walden, a boy who likes his chaw come game time. "Vep," said Nicholson, holding up the package. Tall Wimpy Qumn who had a tough tune at the plate Monday, bludgeoned out a double and one triple, and really hustled. With Quinn hitting. Oregon's ball club looked 50 per cent better. Catcher Sam Kastman with three hits, all singles, was the deadliest Cougar sticker. .tic: a ku!!.1' is Spec , Burke’s characterization of Wim I py Quinn. "He loves to hit." says | Burke, "ami when he conics up, and I'm calling them from the mound, I get ready to duck." “ A good loser, in spite ot his an tics. is Buck Bailey. He congratu lated Hardy and Hobby Hobson. Dwight Moore. Oregon catcher, who broke his finger in pre-season play, saw the game. Moore's hard luck string did not end when he was hit on the hand with a foul tip. In fact, it had just begun, and a few days later, he came down with the mumps. He's only been out of the infirmary a few days. Second guesscr.- criticized Buck Bailey for taking out Joe Angelo, hard-hitting right-fielder, after missing Cere Walden's fly which went for a triple. They contended last night that Angelo might have lut the very next inning when his sub. Bn. liman, struck out with the. bases loaded. Bailey's innings . . . No I Hi. barehanded caidii of Ducks Gain Tie for Second in League Bob Hardy Pitches Third Northern Division Victory in Setting Down Buck Bailey's Nine to Split Series By ELBERT HAWKINS Buck Bailey, the northern division’s funny man coach, and-] his Washington State Cougars were sent back to the Palouse hills yesterday in defeat. They were edged out by the Webfoots in a tight squeeze, 7 to 6, in a game which threw the two clubs into a three-way tie with Idaho for second place in the northern division. Boisterous Buck didn’t take his defeat so bitterly as he only expected an even break for the Cougar’s six-game road trip, but as a parting gesture to his Eugene public he slammed one of Washington State college’s fin est bats to the ground and bent it into a pretzel. Hardy Goes Route Bob Hardy southpawed the com plete nine innings for Hobby Hob son and won his third conference victory in three starts. Bob wasn’t so airtight yesterday, allowing the Cougars ten base hits, but his mates were just that much harder on Righthander Louis McCollum and touched him for an even dozen blows. Oregon's wrecking crew won it the hard way, overcoming a fourth inning Washington State lead of 5 to 2. The Webfoots won their game by pushing over five runs in the last of the fifth on five hits and one error. Clout Triples The big bats of Oregon’s infield barked like Big Berthas on long range hitting during the game, Gale Smith, Wimp Quinn, Ford Mullen, and Cece (Ox» Walden all clouting triples. Wimp added a double and a single to that to come out of his short batting slump with three hits in four times at bat. Shortstop Elmer Mallory led off Oregon’s big last of the fifth by beating out a bunt to pitcher—one of the four times he did it during the two-game series. Ford Mullen then smacked out a long triple to drive Mallory home, and he scored on Busher Smith’s sacrifice fly to centerfield. With one man out, Wimp Quinn singled to left field, took second on the fielder’s bad throw, and scored on Bob Hardy’s hit to the same field. Walden Triples Whizzer White was hit by Pitch er McCollum, and then Catcher Cece Walden strode to the plate to smash out his triple driving' Hardy and White home with Ore gon’s fourth and fifth runs of the inning, Oregon took a 2 to 0 lead in the last of the first on successive triples to the bleachers in right field by Smith and Quinn and a single into center by Bob Hardy. The Cougars got one run back in the second inning after two were out when Ray Mahnkey, third baseman, walked, stole second, and scored on a one base blow by Charles Dosskey, first sacker. Oregon's infield combination of Quinn to Mullen to Smith turned in a double play in that inning, and another Webfoot twin killing was executed in the first on a play ( from Hardy to Mallory to Smith. Pitcher Hardy's bad inning was the fourth when Washington State pushed over four runs, three of them earned. A walk, a single to right, an error by Catcher Walden, another single to right, and a sacrifice bunt did the damage. j Bush Smith's foul scratch ... it drew a laugh. No. 2 His argument with Spec Burke when Burke galled a strike on Ray Mahnkey ... it went like this, "You don't mean to tell me he struck at that lousy ball." No. 3—His grand finale . . . which consisted of breaking a per fectly good bat against the ground. It's all over now. so goodbye un- I til next year. Buck Bailey.

Strong-armed Bill Musselmann is expected to be Warren’s starting piUJiiur. iviuaocmiaii um uul the Milwaukie trip and his arm is in the best condition it has been in this year. Should Musselmann run into difficulty, Leland Drago and Walt Gale are able relief pitchers. Whitey Austin will be in his usual post behind the bat. Austin's arm has improved considerably since the season started, and he is always dangerous at the bat. While the frosh haven't got a million-dollar infield, Jim Good hew. Bill Skade, Lee Carrilho and Kenny King constitute a well-bal anced combination. These four men will open against the Woodburn Bulldogs. Dick Whitman will face his for mer teammates, starting in his us ual position in left field.
