PAGE TWELVE Th Nw QREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Orexww. Friday Morning, April 2ft, 1923 eavcats Open L IS New Diamond is Laid Out on Sweetland Field For First Home Tilt The Northwest conference base tall season will open In Salem Saturday afternoon with the Wil lamette Bearcats meeting the Lin field College Wildcats. It will be the first intercollegiate baseball game played in a number of years on Sweetland field, as the Wil lamette teams have used Oaford Park since the new grandstand was built on the north side of the university field. Erection of that grandstand took a big chunic out 01 nsai field as the diamond was original ly laid out: but this year coacn "Spec" Keene put on his thinking cap and figured out a diamond on the other end of the field, the third base line running close to the grandstand and a high wire fence keeping seme of the long flies to right field from falling in the millrace. It's really a bet ter diamond than the old one. Lin field Team Is Uncertain Quantity Little is known here about the Linfleld team this year except that it won from Pacific College by a big score and boasts a number of players from last year's strong team. The Willamette team has been gaining rapidly in hitting strength, this being proven Tues day when, the Bearcats trounced the Oregdn Normal team af "Mhh mouth 12 to 3 after barely nosing out ft victory In a practice game two weeks before. The Bearcats pounded out 12 safe bingles at Monmouth, Gill, right fielder, getting four of them. Kiminki, freshman twirler, allow ed the Normal ' team only four hits. Coach Keene used an entire second team the last three innings, with-the exception of the battery. Second Team Hits Itrtttf Than Varsity Thursday afternoon the regu lars "hit a lively clip against the offerings of "Spec" himself, who tooklhe mound with "Frisco" Ed wards behind the bat. However, the second team with the aid of these two ex-Coast leaguers, scor ed more runs than did the varsity. There probably will be no changes In the Willamette lineup from that used against Oregon . State last week, although Trachsel is making a strong bid for the shortstop berth and may nose out "Hoot" Gibson before the season Is over. The race between these two Is hard fought. Thursday af ternoon Trachsel hit a home run, so Gibson, coming up the follow ing Inning, hit one Just as far, but was tagged out when he slip ped and fell after rounding third base. MEET ST. MARY'S Playing "outlaw ball"' this sea son seems destined to bring the Salem high school baseball team np against unusually tough, op ponents this year. First indica tion of this was given when the locals lost to the Oregon State Rooks Wedne3day. This afternoon at 3:30 o'clock on Olinger field, the red and black will line up against St Mary's high school team. St Mary's Is a Catholic high school situated west of Portland, and its teams in past seasons have habit ually cleaned up on all opponents In that part of the state and beat en most of the Portland high schools. Van Cleave will probably be Coach Luke Gill's selection for mound duty today, as he showed .considerable ability in the two in nings he pitched against the Hooks, while Hug, who pitched most of that game, will not have recovered sufficiently from his ex ertions on that occasion to start Xjain today. UFOLLETTE PUT WASHINGTON. April 25 (AP) A statue of Robert Marlon La Follette. Wisconsin's gift to the nation, took its place today amid the figures of two-score cf the country's great who are en shrined beneath the high-vaulted dome of statuary hall. While men and women who stood shoulder to shoulder with him through life looked on in the crowded auditorium, the white marble statue of the Republican : Independent was unveiled, and as Oie - folds of the American flag clipped aside and formed a back ground, the senator stood reveal ed in the fighting mood that was typical of his long years in the senate. The sculptor, Jo Davidson, an Intimate friend, had caught him as he was about to spring from his chair, an attitude he frequent ly assumed when provoked by the argument of an opponent. j The brief unveiling ceremony over, the crowd of intimate friends and supporters listened to eulogies by a long list of speakers, all of mhom came in close contact with the man during his lifetime, and (hen, when the last praise was sung, they crowded about the platform to wring the hands of his -two sons, Phillip F. La Fol lette, and Robert M. La Follette, Jr., who has succeeded to his father's place in the senate. - Two great dailies The Oregon Statesman and The Portland Tele gram by carrier 60 cents per ftonth. Phone 5 0 0.

(AP) Portland made it three straight from Seattle today by winning 5 to S after the Indians seemingly had the game in the Ice-box in the eighth. The Indians had slammed Jack Night for three runs in this Inning and brought the score up to 3"to 1 in their fa vor. In the Portland half the game suddenly changed from the clos est of pitching battles to a wartrd burlesque, of bases on balls, runs forced in, and wild tosses. Portland scored four runs the mixup and took the game. R H Seattle 3 10 Portland 5 8 Pipgras, Fish, Lf manski and Borreani, Cox; Knight and Rego, Bates. Oaks Shade Sacs OAKLAND, Cal., April 25.

On the mound for Salem will be King Cole, well known here through his work.against the Sen ators for other clubs in past sea sons; and if he doesn't keep the Rangers in check, Wayne Barham, local veteran who is staging a comeback after one - year's ab sence, will take up the task. Rangers Start With Coovert On Mound Longview, on the other hand, Is planning to start "Chinky" Coov ert, southpaw who is as well known here as Cole for similar reasons. Coovert pitched for the Cycols several years ago when they were the Senators' principal rivals in the Portland Valley league, and last year worked against "Frisco" Edwards' crew several times in a Bend Eagles uniform. Coovert has plenty on the ball, but occasionally falls down in the matter of control, and he hasn't improved much this season in that respect judging from reports of the opening game at Longview last Sunday. He held the Timber Wolves of Kelso effectively until the third, then Issued three free passes and threw one so wide the catcher couldn't stop it; between his wild ness and wto errors behind him, Kelso put over, four runs. After that, however, he blanked the vis itors until near the end of the game when Ford relieved him. Invading Hitters Are Dangerous Boys Dangerous hitters of the Long view club include Harris, short stop; Brown, first baseman, Lep tich, center fielder, and Hofford, who holds down left field. Davis at third base and Nyren at sec ond complete the Infield, and Swift is the third man in the out field. F. Brown is the regular catcher. sw1"?- 1 00 (TOW T TV , i'l .w ?,.-jr w hr'.-r-iV.'.-.-rr.vr -viw5a5. i- 7 ... p-r'W Ryder Cup Play Will Be Today By FRANK H.

"I shall win, I usually do and I have a fighting team," said Wal ter Hagen.

Authorities at Moortown have prepared for the greatest crowds golf has attracted in this section of Britain. Five thousand specta tors are expected tomorrow and at least 10,000 Saturday.

CHICAGO, April 25 (AP) A BY DETROIT TIGERS With fully advanced spark and properly adjusted carburetor the improvement over any other gasoline is so great as to more than justify the small premium charged a premium which represents the actual cost of the Ethyl fluid added to the gasoline. Ethyl brand of anti-knock compound was developed in the great laboratories of the General Motors Corporation after seven '. years of costly and intensive research and the testing of more than 33,000 separate formulas. It is used today by 30 of the ' largest oil companies throughout the entire ' world and is endorsed by the foremost automotive engineers in the world. Because of the success of Ethyl gasoline, many imitations have appeared--so-called high compression gasolines totally inferior in quality and results. Ethyl is die only genuine anti-knock, high compression fuel and is sold only from pumps bearing the Ethyl trademark. To secure wuadmmm results from your motor advance the spark at the distributor to a point where the "knock" is greatest with ordinary gasoline; set the carburetor to a leaner mixture, and then use Ethyl exclusively.
