ThB dUEGOlt STATESMAN, Salen. Oregon, Wedcnsday Morning, Angnst 28, 1929 PAGE SEVEN 4 4, ! Hurt Comments By CURTIS Curtis Davis, Riekreall boy who 1 1 pitching this year, for the San Francisco Seals. was the Portland Ducks' first victim In the big par ade Sunday that put the Ducks in a solo lead in the Coast league. It Isn't to Davis' discredit that he was put on skids as an incident to the Portland ttam'g spectacular rally, when all the other S. F. pitchers had bftn treated the same way. At that, only two of Portland's runs in that game were really chargeable to Davis. Some of the others resulted from hits Into the overflow crowd in the outfield. Four of the Girod boys that may be all of them, for all we know played with the Chema M'n Woodmen in Sunday's game against the Pedee Woodmen Tu pair who played around aetond base for the Mt. Scott Timers earlier la the seasoa held down the same positions for Chemawa. and another was on first base. Reports don't state whether or not there were any double plays, but if there were, the scorer pro bably recorded tl.em "Girod to Gi rod to Girod." Informal reports from Co quille that Billy Sullivan hit a homer and three singles were a trifle Inaccurate. He hit two three baggers, resulting in three of Eugene's runs. With two men on in the ninth, another big chance came tip and Billy made a mighty wallop hot a former teammate on the Senators, Marlow, raced away back and snagged the ball. Wonder If the Bend Elks really wanted to play the Senators turning them down that way when there -was only $50 difference in their Ideas of what the series was worth? We recall three years ago when we were managing the Bend Elks tiiere, we didn t intend to let that lil. and besides there were three or four other managers working with us but anyway, a Harris burg team wanted to come up and plar us, but wouldn't listen to a 60-40 split. No sir. they wanted a hundred and a quarter, win or hue. You should have seen those fellows' eyee pop out when they looked over a crowd of well over a thousand fans. They had just thrown away a hundred berries by insisting on a flat num. Speaking of gate receipts, we'll bet Tom Turner has learned some thing I n the last week about whether a winning team pays or not. It's a cinch that a crowded park more than makes up for the difference between paying good ball players and mediocre ones. For years we've heard that Portland was the bet baseball town on the coast if given any aort of ball team to support. Now it's being proven. But Tur ner, or if reports are true, the lys back In Philadelphia who really control the Portland club slid along for years giving Portland mediocre ball and barging up losses at the gate against the profits from deve opiug green players and selling them. But here it is, still August, and the Ducks leading the league Sometime in July, just last month. our typewriter turned out some thing like this: "If Portland's Ducks don't win ball game pretty soon, the acribes will have to begin figuring out their percentage by hand; there'll be nothing in the 'ready reckoner' to go by." What a whale of a difference Just a few weeks makes. PITTSBUR6H 7 TO 4 PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 27.

At least five mem bers of the 1929 graduating class will either take positions as ath. letlc directors, or Include coach ing In their general duties as high school teachers. A considerable number of Wil lamette graduates have found ath letic coaching a stepping stone to more remunerative positions as high school principals and city su perintendents. Athletes from Willamette are In demand as coaches, because of the school's high standards of schol arship and leadership, and also because Willamette - has had, for the most part, capable men at the head of its athletic department. Following is the present list. probably incomplete: Henry Hartley, who has been coaching at Raymond, Wash., goes to Coquille high. Willis Hathaway, 1929 gradu ate, will coach baseball and bas ketball in a Colorado high school. Clive Zeller, who coached last year at Finley, Wash., goes to Battleground high, a larger school. Kenneth Tan Nice, 1929 gradu ate will coach at Silverton. Gurriee Flesher, 1929 graduate, will coach at Leslie Junior high in Salem. Kenneth Litchfield, 1929 grad. uate, will be principal of the Bel- lefontalne high school and- will coach basketball. Rein Jackson remains at Franklin high, Portland. Russell Rarey will remain at Tillamook high Fred Patton, who has been school superintendent and high school principal in addition to coaching athletics at Falls City, has been elected to a position at Clatskanie. Ramon Dimlck will coach at Redwood City, Cal., the . best equipped niKn school in that state. He formerly coached in Washing ton. Harold Dimlck will coach at Walla Walla, Wash., again this year.

Only seven of the athletes who earned football letters at Willam ette university last season, will be on hand to form the nucleus for the 1929 squad when practice is started a week from next Monday, Coach Spec Keene announced Tuesday after finishing the sur vey he has been making of the plans of his experienced players. This is no bear story. Coach Keene isn't announcing that his team this fall will be below stand ard; that remains to be seen. He is just simply reporting facts and leaving such portion of the read ing public as is Interested in Will amette's athletio prospects to Judge for itself as to reasons and probable results. Willamette's athletic mortality has been high; no actuary in the world would write an Insurance policy guaranteeing any athlete to return after the fall vacation. Twenty-four football players fulfilled the requirements for winning letters, though not that many received or will receive them, because of the rule that Jetters won in the freshman year are not Issued until sophomore standing is attained.

A little song to the tune of "Forty-nine Bottles" might be written about the situation. Twenty-four athletes turned in their suits, five couldn't pay their board bills, then there were 19. It doesn't rhyme, but it gives the idea. Five left school before the semester was over, for financial reasons. By the end of the year this list was Increased to eight, and in ability to fatten the pocketbook during the summer, will prevent two from returning this fall; that leaves 14. Seven will be back, and that leaves seven to account for. One, Page, will transfer to another school. Two graduated Mort and Betts. One, Mumford, had played four years. Two will be seniors, who, along with earning a living, won't have time from their studies to play football. That leaves one, and he is In eligible. Financial reasons, la other words, are responsible for loss of 12 'out of the 17. Of course, there's a slight overlapping in these figures; one player who dropped out before the year was over, planned to return this fall, but has finally decided to trans fer to another scbool. The lettermen returning are Paul Ackerman. center; Robert Hillis and Charles Gill, guards: John Versteeg and Percy Carpen ter, tackles; Garnie Cranor and Curtis French, halfbacks.

Indians Don't Have Much Ex perienced Gridiron Material Necessity for bulaiing up an en tirely new football team, is the prospect which faces R. G. Down- le, coach at Chemawa Indian school, as the government insti tution faces Its first season of gridiron competition as a mem ber of the state high school ath letic association. Nearly all of last year's regu lars in this sport, and for that matter In other sports, either graduated or will not return this fall. Coach Downle reports. The last two years have witnessed the graduation of a large group of boys who had been participating in athletics at Chemawa for three and four years. Nevertheless, there will be a likely squad of youngsters ready to report when Coach Downle is sues the call for candidates about September 1. Admission of Che mawa into the state association, assuring it ot competition on an equal basis with other high schools, has done much to develop interest in athletics there; an In terest which had begun to ebb af ter Chemawa's halycon days of competition with the colleges when its students were older men than the present crop. The principal difficulty fore seen by Coach Downle is develop ing a new team this year, Is not one of material, but of instilling confidence in a group of compar atively inexperienced players. Two games with Portland high schools will open the season, fol lowed by a tilt against the O. S. C. Rooks. A game with Salem high school has been signed up for Oc tober 16.
