On paper this should not prove a difficult task, for Cottage Grove has ranked along with Wendling so far, and tne senators set Wendling down decisively las Sunday, 14 to 0. Cottage Grove meanwhile lost to Bend 23 to 4. But Hill's men showed consid erable strength at- bat inr" that game on the other side of the Cas cades, getting 12 hits against the ptching of the formidable Lyle Bigbee. Cottage Grove has a good team, that is evident from its personnel which includes such well known ball players as Harry EUinger and Keith Emmons. Its pitchers ought to be better on the home diamond, and if they per form adequately, they will make It a ball game. Following is the batting order for today's game Salem Cottage Grove O.

Invasion today, however, will be Albany, where the Alcos will do their best to avenge the defeat they suffer ed at the hands of Bend over a month ago. This will be Bend's first trip across the mountains, and the fans are wondering whether the fast Eagles team will function as effectively in the lower altitude as it has at home. The Albany team and fans are confident that they can win. and there Is some justification for their claims. When Albany played at Bend, Ralph Coleman was not in the box, and the team was almost en tirely without practice, dne to the heavy rains on this side of the divide, while Bend bad been play ing ball foa a month and had al ready played a couple of games. Albany has since then put in enough time with the horsehide to be approaching midseason form, and has also strengthened its line up. Its showing in beating Eu gene 4 to. 3 in 15 innings last Sunday demonstrates that Red Rupert's Alco outfit is ready to play real ball from now on. When the Alcos went to Bend, they drove all the way around by Portland, and the automobile trip and lack of sleep did not con tribute to their effectiveness. On the other hand. Bend will have to do the traveling today, and al though the trip will be made by train instead of by auto. It will have its effect. The other game finds Eugene playing at Wendling. Billy Rein hart's outfit is expected to win by a safe margin, although Wendling signed up three new players in the last week and is evidently de termined to put out the. brand of ball which the league requires. through a downpour of rain, Salo covered the lap in 7 hours 56 min utes 26 seconds, bringing his total elapsed time for the 3097.4 miles from Los Angeles to 531:10:54, some 18 honrs more than Payne has required.

(AP) Rain or shine, mud or slop it was all Relgh Count. The big red colt, owned by Mrs. John D. Herts of Chicago, wife of the taxicab magnet, splashed . to victory in the fifty-fourth Ken tucky derby today, racing through a drizzling rain and mud ankle deep in one of the most spectacu lar races in the history of the blue ribbon event of the American turf. Reigh Count, son of Sun Relgh Contessina. heavily Dlaved favor- ' its, won just as bis supporter nuM ' he would, fintabing three lengths - ahead of Misstep. Toro, which '. lost such a heartbreaking race to Victorian in the Preakness a week ago, was two lengths and a half back of Misstep, and trailing in fourth place came Jack Higglns, winner of the Louisiana derby.' Record Meld Defeated Reigh Count defeated the larg est field that ever went to the post in the Kentucky derby, 'run- ' ning the punishing mile and a quarter route in 2:10 2-5. Twen ty-two three year olds faced the barrier exceeding the previous largest field in 1923 when twenty one started in the race won by Zev. The winner rewarded Mrs. Hertz with $55,375, as first money with $6,000 going to Misstep aud $3,000 to Edward B. McLean, the Washington publisher and owner of Toro. In addition to the $55.- 275 Mrs. Hertz received gold plate valued at $7500 and all the glory that money could not buy. Relgh Count paid better than two for one in the mutuek). re warding his backers with $6.12 for every two dollars invested on his chances. His place price was $5.78 and $3.98 to show. Misstep paid $8.28 to place and $5.90 to . show, while the show price on Toro was $3.76. Crowd About 80,000 Upwards of 80.000 witnessed the race, all of them dampened by a -soaking rain but too excited to be daunted by the terrific down pour that broke over Church'" Downs an hour before the horses were led out of the paddock". For forty minutes the rain came down In a torrent but just before the call of the bugle it settled to a steady drizzle and it was drizzling , when the race was rnn. After the race the sun came out apologetically. The rain turned the colorful scene Into a wet muddy spectacle. Fashionably dressed women were turned from butterflies to wet be draggled creatures, soaked to the skin, unable to seek shelter be cause of the tremendous Jam. The women stood out there in the rain taking their punishment because they could not avoid It. Rider Highly Praised The race was as much of a tri umph for Chick Lang, one of America's riding aces, as it was for Relgh Count, his mount, cham pion two year old of 1927. Lang rode a masterly race. He allowed Blackwood. Misstep and Marty Flynn to set the early pace and then, coming from behind, caught Misstep in the stretch after racing shoulder to shoulder, nose to nose, as if tbe two horses were locked together. Mud splattered from the heels of the thoroughbreds onto those behind them and onto frantic spectators hugging the inside rail? tbe horses came near to the finish Lang on Reigh Count, and Garner on Misstep began applying tbe whip. In the stretch Misstep was on the Inside with Reigb Count on the outside. Mlsster hung on for a second, as they raced shoulder to shoulder,' and then Reigh Count moved into tbe lead under Lang's nrgings. , Tore on like a streak, making a, gallant finish with Jack Higglns running fourth. Crowd Becomes Breathless The last hush of the. crowd wa sudden as the horses made tbr drive for the wire. Reigh Count. carrying the bulk of the public') money, was making his final, de termined bid for victory. '" Tb thrilled spectators held their breath in fearfnl wonder as Relgl Count began to make good hi; reputation as champion two year old of 1927. Lang, applying, the whip, begar to increase his lead with firir strides.' :.-:'v:.' Then the sighs of the crowf gars. way to a deepening roar a' , Reigh Count, bis flanks bespat tered with mud, crossed the line winner of the derby. LOUGHRAN WHIPS j DAYTON FIGHTER LOUISVILLE. Ky..
