Valsets is a tiny little lumber

it supports a baseball team that
has made a remarkable showing
this season, . Including victories
over Toledb, an outfit that las

larger Oregon cities.
Having, vanquished everything

the Valsets team is out after, big-j
ger game and has had the temer

Manager Leo Edwards of the
local team says he may sign up a

terms offered so far aren't satis

RE
TO ENTER
Fans who may be suspecting
that the Salem and Albany base
ball moguls are keeping the wires
hot to get in touch with all" play
ers who msy strengthen their
Hfcms for the playoff series which
starts Sunday, are all wrong.
At the league meeting here
Sunday night it was agreed that
only such players as have been
under contract in the regular play
ing season, will be eligible for the
playoff of the first half, and that
goes for the playorf between Bend
and the first half winner.
That leaves the bars down to a
slight extent; Albany may bring
in ReipL Ike Wolf er or any of the
other extra stars that have play
ed a few' games; but there won't
be any new faces when the ' Sen
ators and Aleos line up here Sun

When Their Legs Give Out
Even Top Notchers Quit
When the legs go, the athlete
goes with them. When the body
has a pair of sound limbs to re
spond to the command of the fight
ing spirit the race or the game can
be won. -: When the legs are gone
the gameet fighting heart that
beats cannot carry on.
This is one of the oldest axioms
of athletics and the most proved
one but it ever is a fresh topic of
discussion for there are always
new examples to quote and sad
songs to sing about the passage of
great stars.
Cobb and Speaker
" Ty Cobb and Tr!s Speaker have
been going for a number of years.
Now they are definitely gone be-
Leause tbeir legs will carry them
no further. They are .quitting
baseball at the end of the current
season. Cobb can catch a ball
when he gets to it and he can
throw with old-time skill. So can
Speaker. Cobb ran hit the ball as
often as he could in his best days
and so can Speaker, but they can't
get the extra step that means a
safe hit or the winning run so
many times.
Jack Dempsey can punch Just
as hard as he could way back in
1919 when he reduced the face of
the mammoth Jess Willard to a
pulp and won the world's heavy
weight championship. But his legs
are gone and he can't hit a target
that he can't reach. Dempsey's
greatest asset as a fighting man
was his great speed of hand and
foot. His arms are still quick but
his legs cannot respond to the mo
tor. Bill TUden has been " slipping
for several years but fighting on
with the hope that he could adjust
his game, to overcome the handi
cap of lost speed. Tilden Is today
tne greatest three-set player In
the worm but his legs refuse to
carry him through a hard five-set
match and his career as the
world's greatest tennis player is
definitely at an end.
Banners Crack
Three of America's greatest
runners cracked up almost on the
same day in the Olympic games at
Amsterdam, w&en their legs gave
way under them under the severe
test Charley Paddock. Joie Ray
and Lloyd Hahn announced they
were through. 4
Paddock and Ray had nut their
legs through as severe a test as
a net of human running apparatus
ever wan submitted. For a num
ber or years the warning was
sounded with sore muscles and
pulled tendons and the crack final
ly came when they put the extra
call on their tired limbs in the
big test.
Al Simmons, the brilliant out
fielder of the PhiladelBhla Ata-
leties. Is threatened right in the
prime or his career with bad leg.
He was out of the game for a
month or more this season and ft
was only because he was so urgent

aoie to bear the suffering of daily
pUy on a pair of revolting legs.
