Reports Indicate.
NO omCIAL DECISION VF.T
SALEM. July 19 m Roy 8.
(Spec) Keene, head of the
American Legion Junior league
baseball movement In Oregon,

ther Information before male
ing an official decision on an
alleged protest from Burns
over the game last Saturday.
La Orande defeated Burns by
a 8 to 2 score In the final
game of the district elimina
tion tournament.
Keene today received a tele
gram from P. J. Milligan, of
Ontario, In which he stated
he was forwarding a letter re
ceived from Burns protesting
the game. Keene was at the
game, and said he had seen
nothing In the game which
could be protested. However,
ho added, that was not an of
ficial statement dismissing any
protests. We would await
further Information prior to
announcing his decision, as
there may be phases of which
he has not been apprized.
Keene aald the method In
which the Burns protest was
made was Incorrect. All pro
tests of games were to be
made direct to him and ' no
publlo announcement of such'
protests were to be made prior
to a decision.
, According to a telephone conversa
tion last night between an Observer
reporter and P. J. Milligan, of On
tario, the Burns American Legion
Junior league baseball team has pro
tested La Orande's 3 to 2 victory
hero Saturday afternoon In the final
game of the district elimination tour
nament. Mr, Milligan, who was seeking cer
tain information from tournament
officials, Indicated in the long dis
tance conversation that he probably
would not pass on the protest him
self, but planned to forward it to
Bpeo Keene, of Salem, head of the
Junior league movement In Oregon.
Mr. Keene saw the game in question.
- Asks For Information
Mr. Milligan Inquired as to the
number of balls and strikes on Reed,
Burns shortstop, .who made the lOBt
out. D. W. Hall, of La Orande, kept
tab on the balls and strikes through
out the game, and stated last night
that one ball had been called upon
Reed before the pitch at which the
boy struck, missed and then the ball
hit him. caroming off behind the
grand stand. Under the impression
he was entitled to go to first because
ho was hit by the ball, Reed went to
first and Hlggs, pitcher, on third,
came home. : Had the score been al
lowed, It would have : knotted the
count at 3-all. Umpire Joo Bush
man immediately ruled It a dead hall,
using rule 48, section 5 as his author
ity and ordered Hlggs back to third
and Reed to continue batting. The
rulo In question defines such a case
and states that a "dead ball" should
bo called. White M,r. Bushman was
making his decision, Base Umpire BUI
Workman questioned Reed at flrBt as
to whether he struck at the ball and
whether It hit him. It Is reported
that the boy answered yes to both
questions, affirming the decision. Af
ter play was resumed Reed struck out.
ending the game 3 to 2 in favor of
La Orande.
Affidavits concerning the numbers
of balls and strikes and othor matters
pertaining to tho game were to bo
forwarded from La Orande to Salem

tory. THE IMI.I.KK JUNIORS WIN

Slow Back Swing
Disrupts Rhythm
H M MM- WONDER
WHY r HISSED THAT
LAST ON6 2
That nil Important factor rhythm
-is ruined If thc back swing Is too
low. You wll notice the whenever
a Kolfcr brings his club back very
alow. You will notice that whenever
balance on the follow through.
If the rlubhcnd I neks thc right
momentum an It contacts with the
bull, the Rhot Is always dubbed. By
hi'HlUUntt too long over the swing
and deliberating too closely as you
bring the clubhrnd back you give
yourself Ju.it that much more time
In which to think of all the bad
points of your game.
Tho swing Is complicated Just a
Httlc further, and in the effort to
do three things right you are quite
certain to do six things wrong.
Hpeed up your swing, get the
clubhcnd m to the bull ahead of
yuur ha lulu and keep your head
clown, nnd don't try to think of any
thing fit. These are thc essentials.

FOXX SLATED TO
REPLACEBAMBINO
Not in Yank Lineup, of
Course, But as Home
Run Leader of Majors
By Dayle Talbot
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The stanchions that carried him to
baseball's heights finally given way
under the strain, Babe Ruth today
faced the prospect of relinquishing
his home run title to Jimmie Poxx
without a struggle.
Even before his right leg collapsed
while going after a fly ball yester
day, it was extremely doubtful the old
war horse could catch his youthful
adversary. He was 12 homers behind
the Athletic star, but still was hop
ing he would get "right" and put on
a spurt.
Not Much Chance Now
There's scarcely a chance now. The
Bambino will be on the bench prob
ably three weeks, physicians say. Foxx
is a full month ahead of Ruth's
1927 record now and has every chance
of eclipsing the Babe's mark of 60
homers. He had 38 today.
1 Tho Babe's injury, a torn ligament
above the knee, resulted when he
pulled up too short after missing
Selph's fly in the seventh inning
against tho Chicago White Sox. The
Yankees won, 6 to 4, thanks to round
trip wallops by Gehrig, Lazzerl and
Sewell.
Washington's winning Btreak of
nine straight wus well broken by the
Detroit Tigers who won both ends of
a dou bit? hen tier, 8 to 0 and 2 to 1.
Gerald Walker was the Tiger terror,
filamming fivo hits during the after
noon and driving across the same
number of runs.
The St. Louis Browns suffered their
eighth consecutive loss when they
were set down, 8 to 1, by Tony Prei
tas. Athletic recruit. It was Freltas1
sixth victory In a row. Led by Smead
Jolley again, the Boston Red Sox
trimmed Cleveland, 4 to 2. Jolley's
two doubles provided the winning
runs.
Tho Pittsburgh Pirates, whose abil
ity to win extra-Inning battles fast
was becoming a legend, finally came
a croppor when they were nosed out
by tho Phillies, 5 to 4. In II frames,
Chicago failed to take advantage of
the leaders' reverse, dropping a 13
to 3 decision to the Giants.

LONDOS AND
RAY STEELE
GO TO DRAW
LOS ANGELES, July 10 W - Jim
Londos, New York, and Ray Steele,
Glendale, Cal., were allowed to wres
tle to a draw here last night, al
though the match was billed for "the
world's championship, best two out
of three falls to a finish.'.'
Ten thousand persons vociferously
objected to the action taken by Ref
eree Don McDonald after two hours,
10 minutes of grappling and a fall
each had passed by. McDonald said
he was forced to stop the bout be
cause of a California athletic commis
sion ruling, but Dr. Harry Martin,
chairman of that commission, and
a ringside spectator, told the Asso
ciated Press he knew of no such, rul
ing. Steele took the first fall with a
head scissors and bar arm in one
hour 28 minutes. Londos came back
to throw his opponent with a body
slam In 25 minutes 37 seconds.
The grunt and grimace experts had
tugged away approximately six min
utes of what was to have been the
third fall when McDonald called a
halt as the timer struck the gong.
Ho announced It was his privilege of
allowing the bout to continue IS
minutes longer in the hope that a de
cision be reached, which he did.
At the end of this time, with no
more falls In sight, he terminated the
bout and called It a draw much to
the disapproval of the crowd which
had shivered through the long ses
sion at the Wrlgley Field ball park..
Dr. Martin had disappeared In the
crowd, by this time and could not be
reached. Steele weighed 218 pounds
and Londos 202.

more than Mark Koenlg, also of the
Missions, who ts In second place.
Johnny Bassler, Hollywood catcher,
moved Into third place with an aver
age of .378.
With 24 runs home runs to his
credit, Muller of Seattle, continues to
be "the king of swat" In the coast
league. Stolen base honors are held
by Garibaldi of San Francisco wlth
28 to his credit.
With Coast league leadership at
stake, Portland and Hollywood begin
a week's engagement at Portland to
night. The Beavers got home from
Oakland In first place by a one-game
margin over the Stars, but will have
to play a lot of baseball to stay there.
The Seals took five of seven games
last week from the - Missions which
left them a good third, within five
and one-half games of the league
leaders. They entertain Oakland on
the home grounds this week, play
ing the only day games In the circuit.'
Tho Missions, still bringing up the
rear In the standings, go north to en
gage Seattle. The Indians are recov
ering from a bad week, during which
they dropped five games to Sacra

series with the Angels. Los Angeles
stands fourth in the league percent
ages, and Sacramento sixth, with
about five games separating them. Se

Broilers are especially being sought.
There Is a comparatively small call
for dressed broiler turkeys hero as

supplied.

The plan Is based on merchandis
ing, and the manager must be fam
iliar with both management and mer
chandising. The movement Involves
the Issuance of labor certificates ln
different denominations to farmers
in return for produce which will be
stored at a central warehouse. Un
employed men will be secured to
work for the farmer and will be paid
in labor certificates with which, in
turn, he may secure food, from the
warehouse. Standard wages and
prices will be maintained.
Mr. Smith and T. J. Scroggln pre
sented the plan to the farmers at
the grange picnic, Saturday, at the
Union experiment station, and they
state that the plan was endorsed by
that group.

Trade in Exchange
Is Lifeless Today
NEW YORK, July IB VPl The stock
market drifted lifelessly today, refus
ing to respond to efforts of floor
traders to prompt a rally by bidding
up tobaccos. Net changes at the fin
ish were largely Inconsequential and
the tone was steady. Turnover was
only about half a million shares.
The best that could be said was
that the decline of the previous ses
sion had been checked. Fresh buying
power was lacking. A recovery ln
wheat, and a better tone in principal
commodities, failed to Influence the
list.
