O'BRIEN-BAYES TO MEET MAY 4 Tljc 1 t round main event be tween Tommy O'Brien and Phil Hayes will be held May 4, as or iginally planned, according to Matchmaker Harry Plant. . The mix had been postponed to the week ' following in order to give O'Brien a rest between a main event against Wildcat Car ter in Portland, and the one here. Joe Marcus, Portland, .however, was signed instead of O'Brien to meet Carter, leaving the Irishman free to participate here as previ ously planned. Allie Taylor, Bend, will meet Bayes in a fight here at some lat er date, probably May IS, ac cording to Plant. HIS FIELDING WITH A BAT mi.. 4 all that his college males could ask. Then came the first tragic blow in" Stevie's life. lie could hit he found--any pitching the big leaguers tossed up. Rut he couldn't make ' the grade as a fielder. One fall after noon in the midst of a football game he had been pulled from be neath a pile of legs and arms with his right arm broken. The break had healed hut had left him with a crooked wing. I Speaker, then Indian manager, Jack McCallister, then coach and present pilot, labored long with Riggs in the hope of overcoming the - handicap. He tried. On straight throws he "passed."- It was on the pivot throw in donldo plays or difficult shots to first from Off balance that spelled his doom. Then they tried him in the outfield. Again his arm was too much of a handicap. So they sent him to the Ameri can Association. , . m ........ ..--..- .r-o-..:. Coast League Standings W. L. Pet.

(Continued on page 4.) 1 It's history now that the4 Chi cago Cubs bought him from Kan sas City. He couldnt slay there hitting the way he was. Manager McCarthy planned,-when he got hold of him, to play him In the outfield. The timely hitting of young Karl Webb, however, gave McCarthy four slugging outer gardeners. The Cub boss sought another opening for Steve. Aware that third base makes fewer fielding demands in the in- fielder than any other post, he bent Steve there. "He may miss one or.two there. but he'll even it up at the plate, was McCarthy's line of reasoning: So Steve, is 'back crooked arm and all. Jt raa be that tho handicap wil! prove too great again.

With the lineup strengthened to wild l w ill piuusui; UC ilO iu- nent personnel for the season, the Salem Senaors will take the field this afternoon in the most critical game of the early part of the schedule, when it faces the league leading St. Johns Bears at Oxford park at 2:30 o'clock. St. Johns' strength, judging from the records of the three games the team has played, is ac- ounted for largely by the stellar, . flinging of "King" Cole, veteran pitcher who Is slated to start tho game against Salem tomorrow. Iu these three contests he allowed Woodstock four hits, Nicolai foui and Camas five. Ho struck out seven Woodstock players, seven Nicolai batsmen and five of the Camas batters. Only three, run have been scored against Cole and he SL Johns team in these three games. Tney aereatea- wooasioeit to 1, Camas 5 to 0, and Nicolai to 2. . Cole's, support includes McCul- ocn, leit, Simon ana waigren in. he Infield, and Olney, O'Brien and Stephens in tne oumeia. wai- greave 13 the regular catcher. . The Senators will have the same lineup as last Sunday with tho exception that Orlie'Itobbins, for merly of OAC, will be at third base instead of Biddy Bishop. This may not strengthen the team's fielding to any great extent, as Bishop is as good a third baseman as any in the. league; but be has not had time for much batting practice this season, so that a younger player who does havfa time to train his batting eye be tween Sundays, wHl mean a gain' In offensive power. ; The game will really start at. 2:30 this time. Manager 'Frisco" Edwards promises. 1 Last week if was so scheduled, but the Nicola team didn't understand so, and at a result the game was 20 minuter late. St. Johns has been notified and will be ready to play at 2:30, Judging from the good attend ance, despite the cold, weather last Sunday, a iflne warm day today is expected tp bring out the Sena tors' full support.
