Scoring 10 runs on five hits,
the Salem team got off to & good
start for the season by winning
its first game of 'baseball, with
Lincoln high school of Portland.
10-0 Friday afternoon. The game
was played at Oxford Park.
In the third inning Salem start
ed the scoring, tallying thre run.-
on three walks, a batter hit by
the pitched ball, and an errorTho
only other outstanding inning tu.
far as the swatting was concern
ed was the fifth when Fabry,
pitched, lobbed the pellet over the
right field fence, bringing in one
man before him.
Lincoln made but two hits off
Fabry. Not one of the Railsplit
ters got past second base, and only
three of ,them got that far. Twice
Lincoln batsmen smashed the ball
against the right field fence bu'
were plugged out when ttu-y tried
to stretch their hits to socond
base. ( , ,
;All ofVthe Salem lads were
showing some fait stuff and con
sidering the earliness of the sea
son, but few errors were made.
By the time of the next game,
probably next Friday, Coach Hol
lis 'Huntington hopes, however, to
have the slugging combination
working for more hits. Indica
tions are that the high school ag
gregation will rely in great part
on, the hitting to take in the
games.
Kelly was on the receiving end
of the battery for Salem. Olinger
held down iit$t. Kitchen covered
second, Cummings guarded the
third base alley, and Adams com
pleted the infield at short stop.
, R. Drager played left field. J.
Drager was stationed at center,
and Siegmund frequented - tho

gan's natural position is at short
field. The records bear out the
statements concerning Butler's
ork at third. V
Mr. Michael Smith, new catcher
seeking a berth with the once
great Yankees, isn't of a nervous
temperament, but in the heat of
the day's play he is apt to bite
nails.
For Mr. Smith comes Into the
big show with two reputations.
one as a catcher and one as a
strong man. It is said that in
addition to literally biting good
ized nails in two with his teeth
he bends horseshoes with his
hands and fungo bats over the
back of his neck.
Mr. Smith's modesty, however,
prevents him from performing
these parlor feats except in the
privacy of the Yankees' drawing
room with only his closest friends
and horseshoe experts about.
However, the young man looks
the part of a strong man. He's
six feet two inches tall, weighs
about 23 0 pounds and carries the
weight in the right place his
shoulders, arms, back and leg
muscles.
This Is not his first appearance
In a big league uniform, however,
the records show. The Pittsburg
Pirates gave him a tryout In 1921
when they were searching for any
body who could help them grab a
pennant-
In fact that was Smith's first
professional experience. After
that he played again with inde
pendent, and league ball around
Pennsylvania and finally laifded
a berth with the Scottdale team
in the Middle Atlantic team where
he hit -333 last year and made a
rep osa backstop. .
, Did Miller Huggins pull a boner
when he swapped Wally Schang
for George Mogridge, sending the
"Veteran backstop to St.' Lou Is-for
the lefty? That's what Yank fans
and even players are asking here.
It seems that one stipulation
made " when ' the Yanks obtained
Mark Koenlg and Pat Collins from
the St. Pahl 'club was that the
New Ybrk club would give them a
good pitcher, albeit a vet. ' '
Hugglns decided that he could
acquire such a hurler by using
Schang.' The only flaw, according
to reports, was that Hugrins over
looked the ' fact that Mogridge
could decide for himself whether
or not he wanted to go to a minor
league club. All men of 10 years
service In the big leagues can ask
for their, unconditional release
and the right to make their, own
decision under such circum
stances. Mogridge did an elect
ed to sign with - the Boston
Braves. ; "
Did Huggins .pull, one by over
looking the i 0-year rule, or did lie
just gamble on Mot ridge being
willing to accept the St. Paul Job?
the ball player in the hotel lobby
today except for the fact that he
is the best dressed nd keenest
looking type in the room.
"There is something peculiar
about baseball," he went on.
"Friendships and personal rela
tions are forgotten when the play
ers step onto the ball field.
"They are out to win and the
J Joy of winning is Just a bit great
er when it is someone they know
that they're showing up.
"I have never heard of a case
in baseball where a player failed
to play his best for personal rea
sons, j
"Even where there has existed
bad feeling between a player and
the club for which he is playing
he has felt a sort of satisfaction
in trying to show up his employer.
'
"Until the Black Sox scandal in
1919 I couldn't believe that a ball
player would lay down for finan
cial reasons," said Barnard. "The
suggestion that such influences
as Florida real estate will draw
the stars away from the game has
been expressed. Such influences
will not hurt the sport for the
simple reason that there are al
ways new ball players coming up
and eager to take the stars' places.
Besides this, a baseball man is a
baseball player, first and anything
else next. He will remain in base
ball as long as he can share the
limelight.
"This is natural. Any person
in any profession which brings
him before the public and wins
him applause feels the lure of the
game the moment he steps out of
it." - - . - -
.
In other words Barnard has no
fear that baseball is headed to
ward, the eternal bowwows. And
Barnard. is:one pf the few moguls
In . the game who looks at the
whole matter sanely, realizing the'
'responsibilities of himself and his
rellow officials as well as those
of the players.
