For, two innings the Bear cats chances looked mighty slim, after a series of hit and run plays in combination with the slippery ground around home plate .had given the Badgers four runs in the sixth, and another was scored .on King's, three bagger and a wild pitch in the seventh, put tin? the visitors two runs ahead. Rata was coming down pretty fast then, and the Padfle captain gently suggested that the game be called, but It continued the (nil distance. It appeared slow, be cause of the constant aeceasi "or applying dry balls. Pole Oat Homer Honk, third baseman, and Me Mullln, relief pitcher, emerged as Willamette's heroes of the day. Honk poled out a homer over the center fielder's bead la the third inning, and also drore In the win ning rnn In the eighth wHh a hard drirea single. Ledbetter had rl been pitching good hall considering the condi tion of his arm, bat after the Bearcats forged ahead and Led better appeared badly fatigued in the ninth. Coach Keene sent in McMnllin to reliere him. Ledbet ter had walked one man. McMul lln fanned the next one, and the second batter that faced him hit a Mine drire which McMullln speared and tossed to first for a double play, the runner caring judged it a safe blngle. ; Pacific scored two runs in the first inning on a' walk, a single and Dreezen'a three bagger. Wil lamette came back with three, ac counted for by three free passes, a two bagger by Scales, Gill's single and Cardinal's sacrifice. Both teams scored two la the third. Honk's homer counting for one. Willamette got two more in the fourth, when Adams doubled, Led better walked, and Deetz singled, scoring both of them. Squeeze Plays Work Pacific got four runs on three hits and two squeeze plays in' the sixth. In the fateful eighth. Kelson of Pacific walked four men and a two base bit by Cardinal, a single by Hook and two displays by the Pacific shortstop accounted for the six runs. Score : Pacific U.

BUGS IKE COURSE OOT-OHOU Because of its convenient loca tion elosejto the city, the Salem Golf club course is attracting nu merous out of town golfers, prin cipally tourists who carry their golfing outfits along with them, officials of the dub report. An unusual number of ears with li censes showing that they are from other, states, have been lined up at the entrance to the course re cently. Many of these visitors comment favorably npon the playing con ditions and the general layout of the Salem coarse, the upon the un usual arrangements which include a supply of wood tee free to -an players, which eliminates' the use of sand tof driving tees. 4 , Blow Courses at Night Because of the growing use of the course, the club will arrange within a few days to have the fair ways mowed at night, a headlight .being mounted on the power mow er..

Herman, If yea don't know it, is quite a batsman. He would prob ably hay been called upon to do all of the hitting for Uncle Bob bie's twirlers and, with nothing to worry about but base hits, this young man eould hare fattened op bis batting average considerably. . Herman can hit. But under the present arrangement, which calls for a nine-man ball club, it is necessary that each member of the team de something aside from tak ing his regular turn at the platter. Ia other words, the Babe, like all rest of the Robins, most fill some position in the field. If be is to bat regularly he must play regu larly. Uncle Robbie, the robust pilot of the Brooklyn Club, likes the Babe. He enjoys watching Her man go up there and sock the apple. But it has been quite a problem for the manager to find a spot in the field where the Babe can be put a place where he won t be given a chance to boot way too many ball games. Rob-! MT. WSEL GRADERS 111 tY TITLE Crowd Goes to St. Paul as Gervais Diamond Proves Far Too Wet The Mount Angel grade school baseball team won the county' championship Friday by defeating Central Howell 14 to 7 at St. Paul. The game was to have been played at Gervais, but the dia mond there was found to contain too many lakes., so the entire crowd followed the teams to St. Paul. ' The Mount Angel team was pre sented , with a handsome Gold smith trophy cup, offered by the Anderson sporting goods store of Salem.

A first aacker has lots of opportunity to pat runners oat bat when a first aack er starts muffins; throws, the home fans are likely to start howling. So Herman was put est ia the garden and even here he Isal the best outfielder la the league by any stretch of the Imagination. The Babe has his good after noons and his bad afternoons. Some days be performs like a second Trii Speaker and other days he is simply terrible. When a bunch of fans get to gabbing, they only remember the bad after aoons. They seldom recall any sweet plays that a ball player may make. When they start diaeussing Herman they think op all the bum plays he has made in his fife and it makes quite a total. But there are also some good spots ia his career. If he misses the first chance that comes to him any afternoon, he's liable to prore utterly inef fee tire for the rest of that game. He'll come in, or go back too far, on every baQ hit into his territory and the fans won't let him forget that he is pretty terrible.

Baseball fans are like that Bat when ft comes to base hits the heme folks at Brooklyn seldom find any fault with Herman, He is a natural hitter and he loves to take his torn at the plate. Se while they're knocking his field ing they might praise his stick work. Which brings op the subject of whether hitting strength Is more valuable to a club than fielding strength. Of course the ideal com bination Is to have a hundred per eent of each, but a case like Her man calls for an argument Goslin, oi the Senators, eould scarcely re turn a ball from the outfield last year because of an injury, bat he was carried along all summer be cause of his hitting.
