breaks had much to do with the
result and the collegians weren't
that much better than the local
team.
Meyers started out by pitching
tight ball, only nine men facing
him in the first three innings. He
held the visitors scoreless for one
more inning despite two hits and
a walk. Then the trouble started.

rather mediocre showing.
Von Elm has been playing con
sistently high class golf, which
rates him a close second to Jones
as the best of the amateurs, and
well above most of the crack pro
fessionals. Unquestionably, "The Utah
Tiger" has high hopes of winning
the National Amateur. He is
thoroughly seasoned, knows the
Pebble Beach course as well as he
does his own clubs, and has no
"Bobby Jones complex," ie.,
George beat Robert for the title
once and believes, naturally, he
can do it again.

topping Bobby are even better
than he does in his own modest
way.
If Von Elm can only improve
his putts the one, big, weak spot
in his powerful game, he really
would be an even choice to win the
amateur crown. . Were it not be
cause of inferior putting, he would
have undoubtedly won the U. S.
Open this year as well as last. Just
note his consistent shooting in
those two great 72-hole events:
1928 at Olympia Fields 74-72-76-74;
at Winged Foot 79-70-74-74.
And not once during those eight
rounds of championship play did
he hole a long putt!
Tea, Mr. Jones will be lucky to
come in a good second at Pebble
Beach, if that "Utah Tiger" can
but sharpen his putting claws!

Wayne Barham emerged as the
hero of Sunday's ball game which
the Salem Senators won 2 to 1
from Montavilla. Despite support
which was slightly erratic due to
the absence of several players,
Barham held the Vlllans at his
mercy constantly; and then when
through no fault of his the. visit
ors scored a run. Barham came to
bat in the last half of the same
Inning, the eighth, and poled out
a three bagger that paved the way
for victory.
Johnny Hark ins
Completely Outguessed
Barham -hit that three bagger
by outguessing Johnny Harkins,
who has been treating the Salem
batsmen Just as stingily as Bar
ham had been with the Villans.
Expecting that Barham would at
tempt a sacrifice. Harkins pitched
a high one which was just to
Wayne's liking, and he leaned on
It for a blow far out of reach of
the two fielders that raced for it.
Mack, rookie catcher, had singled,
and he scored from first on that
blow; Lamb came through with a
single immediately afterward, and
the game was won.
Montavilla's run came partly as
the result of an error by Barham
which let Haworth get around to
third, and partly because Russell,
substituting in left field, didn't
realize in time that a runner could
advance on a caught foul fly. Pre
viously he had cut off a run by a
neat throw for a double play, but
this time he delayed an instant
and Haworth beat the throw.
VllUns Held Bark
Until Eighth Inning
Russell's perfect peg stopped
Montavilla's threat in the second
inning, and after that no visiting
runner got beyond second base un
til the eighth. Barham struck out
eight batsmen, including two in
the seventh and two in the ninth.
The game was the shortest of
the season, taking only an hour
and 45 minutes. It was also the
most poorly attended, thanks
largely to propaganda sent out
from Kelso that the league had
broken up.

vuomments
By CURTIS
Hurray! We picked two winners
on successive days, and that
mikes our guessing average .566
for the season; five right and four
wrong-. Our winning streak is
more phenomenal than that of the
Ducks.
About half of th ecrowd Sun
day hootxtl when the uutps let
Haworth score after a caught
foal fly. That shows how wrong
crowd can be. The rule saya
a base runner who holds his
base on a fly bail shall have
the right to advance the mo
ment each fly ball touches the
hands of a fielder."
Most of us learned the baseball
rules, not by reading them, but
by playing the game and watching
it.
And there may be rules that
we don't know
becau?e no case
ever came up.
For Instance, mipposing that
an infielder tag a runner and
the ball pops ont of his hand,
bnt he catches it before it
tonchea the ground. It the ran
ner ont?. Most of yon will say
he 1 bnt yon're all wet.
Now take the hljrh fly that Gib
son hit in the sixth Inning of
Monday's game. The third base
man dropped it. and one foot was
inside the baseline. Wai It a fair
ball? Not If it was ontside the
baseline when the fielder touched
it: his feet have nothing to do
with the case.
The Oregon - Washington
leagne Is dead, but who killed
it? There's been dirty work
at th jecrossroads. to all appear
ances.l and the crossroads. In
onf opinion, are at Kelso.
Romebody op there without any
authority announced that Mon
tavilla had qnit. Montavilla
played here Sunday and Mana
grr Haworth sakl he hadn't said
anything about quitting.
The lowdown Is this: Each
team had put up $150 guarantee
to finish the season. Longvlew and
Kelao hadn't been drawing crowds,
so they wanted the league to
break up. They didn't want to
forfeit their guarantees. So at the
psychological moment. when
Longvlew was tied with Salem for
the lead, somebody at Kelso sent
a story to the Oregonlan that the
league was through because Wolf
er's and Montavilla had quit. If it
succeeded, Longvlew had a talk
ing point for claiming the cham
pionship as it won the first half.
Bnt Salem beat Montavilla.
and that pnts Salem in the lead
again. If there's any Justice in
the land, Longvlew shouldn't
get the championship without
playing a series with the Sena
tors. Harry Leeding, who writes for
the Oregon Journal, and is the
godfather of bush baseball In the
Portland area, said several mouth,
fuls on the subject Sunday, and he
didn't say anything that wasn't
so.
He laid (he Manie where it
belongs; the old. old tendency
up in Iiongview and K'-lso to go
hog wild and pay baseball stare
more than Hie turnstiles will
warrant. And he winds op:
"Why, then can't we have
bush baseball without this pock
etbook wrecking, and why do
Kelso and Longvlew try to avoid
admitting that probably they
wore the first to give np the
ghost?"
There's one thing Harry could
have said but didn't because he
works on a Portland newspaper.

Story Of
Year Told
TACOMA. Aug. 12. (AP)
The champion fish story of the
f tason is being told at Gig Harbor,
by C. O. Austin, whose dog "treed"
a huge shark In deep water off
Point Richmond and in the bat
tle that followed maneuvered the
big fish close enough to shore so
that Mr. Austin and other camp
ers were able to kill it with an ax.
The fish measured e'ght and a half
feet long when landed Saturdav
night.
The dog. which goes by the
name of Bill, had made a practice
of going into the water after dog
fish and bringing them to shore
where he burled them In the sand.
He evidently thought the phos
phorescent flashes created by the
shark to be those of a school of
dog fish and he swam out about
sixty feet after one of them. Once
there he tackled the shark and
the big fish swam around in cir
cles trying to get in a position to
bite him. The maneuver was
spoiled by the dog's persistent at
tack which prevented the shark
from getting in position to strike.
When the shark got into shal
low water Austin grabbed him by
the tail. He missed the first grab
and took a blow in the face which
he thought was from one of the
campers using an oar on the

Better Games and Increased
Attendance Features of
Split Season
By RUSSELL, J. NEWLAXD
Associated Press Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12.
(AP) Baseball seems to be "hit
ting on all six" in the coast lea
gue at present and many skeptics
who opposed splitting the season
on short notice are exchanging
their smoked glasses for those of
i0,h .(a .

i the, RSregate If not locally.
In the first half
the Missions
made a runaway race of it and in-
terest was lagging to say the least.
I It is a different story beginning,
this, the seventh week of the see
as ond half
1 Anyone of six teams, namely,
I Missions. Seals Hniirwnnd T.
Angeles. Oakland, and Portland,
j have a cv.ance to clatter home In -
i a winning finish. They are posi
tioned in tue order named. The
Missions and Seals, tied for top
honors, are but six and one-half
full games ahead of the Portland
Ducks.
Portland appears to be headed
in the right direction in the second
half after golns nowhere in par
ticular during the first part of the
.-eason. President Tom Turner
tut the money "on the line" for a
couple of outfielders, patched up
the infU'lil. and has what can be
classed as a real team. The Ducks
have had a good pitching staff all
along, and with the present rein
forcements, shou'd give any of the
other outfits plenty of trouble.
By snatching last week's series,
four games to three, from the
Seals, the Missions moved up to
even terms with their local rivals. .
The scries brought out a totaT
of 66.020 persons, an attendance
calculated to make the mo si taci
turn club owner a Jovial fellow
indeed.
Tho mark is but 500 less than
the record turnout here during the
first half when the two clubs met
for the first time.
COLLEGE FLYIHG TO
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.
( AP ) Intercollegiate flying
meets within two years vying with
football and rowing for popular
favor were predicted today by
Jesse Loeb, secretary of. the na
tional aeronautic flying club com
mittee. His comment was inspired par
ticularly by the recent decision of
the intercollegiate aeronautical as
sociation to urge every college
club that owns a plane to Join the
N. A. A. Clubs organized June IB
under the Guggenheim fund. Offi
cial notification of this move was
given Loeb by Charles L. Morris
of Vale, chairman of the colle
