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.

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.

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.

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. The i
Oregon fans hecklers, pals, et al,!
wish you luck in your marital ven-1
lure.

whale for its biology department.

Woodburn Nine Plays
Frosh Here Today
By JACK LEE
John Warren and his Duckling baseball nine will engage the strong
Woodburn preppers this afternoon at 3:30 on Warren’s mudflats.
Today’s tilt Is an “extra" on the schedule and will take place of the
previously scheduled Lincoln high games, which were to have been
played May 5 and 6. Coach Cone's nine broke even in a two-game
series with the frosh last*year.
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. Whitman
was the leading Woodburn hitter
last year, and is now pacing the
frosh batters with an average of
.500. Bill Carney and Bob Adrian
are slated to open in center and
right field.
Coach Cone may start his left
hander. Byron Lee, against the
frosh. Lee handed the frosh nine
a 10 to 6 defeat last year. Wood
burn is now leading the Willam
ette valley interscholastic league
and will give the Ducklings plenty
of competition.
