TO START' D;i
jqsjLa few Jweelta ago the Sal-
m Senators played a champion
jshIn'iserIeBwrth Mt." " Scott and
j-won It in an uphill -. battle. The
players and the fans, too, were
taJl on ede. and I record crowds
turned - out for the jeame.i. The
jtipshot'Was that Salem won - the
4ftrst half championship In the
Portland City league.
j ..'ilfqw. with little time for alet
jdown between, the Senators are
facing, just aa Important and de
fensive a game, this time with Mon
jtaTilla, which is tied with the lo
jrila for first place while the erst
hwhlle strong Mt. Scott team
('stands a- poor third, V
i Today's -contest finds the Sen
flM.. .11 I. t. . 1 1 1 .' .
rai.vin a.ii iu line leuie ana eager
for . combat. Johnny Beck is slat-
td to start on the mound. Manag-
jclded that the youngster stands
'a good chance to hold the , hard
'hitting Villains for nine .innings
Las they aren't used to his delir
jry. . Wayne Barbam, the old re
iliabie monndsman"; wlU be on
p&nd for relief duty, but Edwards
.has a hotion he .won't be needed.
I i-At' thai, there' won't he any
icnances taken, for this la, as
stated, above. Just as- crucial a
game as either of those with, Mt.
Scott a few weeks ago. If the
Senators win. they'll be "sitting
pretty;". If they lose, their hopes
are just about "Bhot." .
' 'The lineup for. Salem will be
the same as It has been in. recent
games-and .thereby hangs a
stery, too. Hughle McKenna,
whose abilities are known all ov
ert the ndfthwest. played with the
Senators last Sunday against The
Dalles after -taking- a. (-whirl at
organized ball earlier in the sea
son. There wast some chance that
he, would play regularly at third
base, y j, j ,
. Hut a .few . weeks , ago when
tbeywere lining things up for
the second half of the season, the
league- directors, noting that . Sal
em i and Mt.ifleott; were tied, for
the first half, ruled that A ; they
coTildn't sign any-more :players.
Some, of the other clubs have
teen adding strength and the Sal
era club thought if might too, but
when',;, McKentia's . name was
brought up, the directors shook
their JieadsV - .
McKenna woaULJiave helped a
Iqjti at bat but his absence . will
not be felt so keenly In the field,
as Harold Houk' has been doing
the job as well as anybody in .the
League, and .Is hitting well too;
evt& 'lf not quite in McKenna's
class; - -
ffhis veto on signing extra
players "is likely to prove a seri
oixsj matter, however .it any -ol
tbe Senators are injured, as Ed
wards has been getting along with
a minimum squad.
Montavilla brings a formidable
crew most of the bunch that
humbled, the Senators early in the
season,- wit A the 'addition of Lev
off a speedy hurler. Whether
LeSroff iorHarkins Wilt be on the
mound has not been announced.

Just how long can Babe Ruth
accept gracefully the success of
Lou Gehrig, now outshining him
as a home run hitter?
This, isn't an idle .question,
with the normal amount of pride,
the normal desire to ride the high
road, and the ordinary desire to
hold his Income at the peak.
Gehrig now threatens to dim
Ruth's glory and in direct ratio
share the dollars that have been
tossed in Ruth's path of late.
Ruth's measure of magnanimity
under the circumstances may have
a direct bearing, on the closing
results in the American league.
Babe Ruth carries considerable
of the prima donna in his make
up. He likes the spotlight. He
always did. He has not changed
since the early days of his ' car
eer, except in that he has learned
to control himself through bit
ter experiences.
. Were Ruth to kick over the
traces he would not only demor
alize the team's play In some mea
sure, but would . remove his own
batting power from the team's of
fensive. i As Ruth goes, so go the
Yankees..
. It must be said in the Babe's
favor that so far he has handle
the situation in a generous fash-lpn-r-has
been one of Lou's big
test boosters. .
A triumph for the French ten
nis stars, now in our midst. In the
coming Davis cup matches and the
national tourney will write a
meaty chapter In the history of the
net game. . : '
Big Bill Tilden and Little Bill

mainstays of America in the de
