The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, October I, 1929 alem Senmtors Win Seasons Secoedl CLamploiiislhiiip HURRAY I WE'RE GLAD OF IT! I Hsyo you read about this fellow who has the queer malady known as Paper b disease, the only effect of which is to cause him to shrink? Somebody told us he was a ball playex. and before we found "out It wasn't so, we got all excit ed about the prospects. Think whit a wonderful leadoff man he would make by the time he dwin dled down so there was only 14 inches between his shoulders and knees! Sunday's hero Lyle Bigbee who smacked oat the hit that ended the baseball season, In Sa lem. Nobody shagged that ball, so Bigbee could hare kept on running, bat he wouldn't have been credited with a home run. . The rule on that point ia pecu I liar. Bigbee gets a two bagger, because Frisco, who scored the winning run, advanced two bases on the hit. Up at Bend, where Bigbee play ed last year, the fans got to call Mm "Socko." He hasn't been iven full credit for it, but Lyle has been banging the apple with sufficient regularity while playing with the Senators this season, to merit that nickname here. He has bagged his share of the bingles in nearly every game. " Anyway, we'll bet he got as much kirk out of busting up that game, as his brother did oat of busting up the world eerie ft few years ago. It was in 1025, tbe hottest world series cm record, and Carson Bigbee was warming the bench for the Pirates. Each team had won three games and Washington was leading In the seventh game 7 to 6. It was the eighth Inning with two down and it must hare looked to Bigbee as though he would sit on that bench through the entire series. Then Smith hit a two bagger and Bigbee was sent in as a pinch bitter. He smashed out the two base hit that tied the score, and came in a few moments later on Cuyler's history making swat that decided the series. Before getting back to our own little world series and its riotous conclusion. It's only fair to mention that Lyle has been up in the big noise, too, and would be there yet except for in unfortunate, Injury. Be still knows what to do with that ash willow. I One peculiar thing about Sun day's game probably escaped everybody but the scorers. Up to the eight inning, not one Mt. Scott player was put out at first base, excepting one who tried to beat out a dropped third strike. Not one ordinary infield putout at first in seven innings. That probably doesn't set any record, but it must come very close to it. It's signif icant, too, with respect to the vis itors' ninth inning rally. Unless a team makes a fair average of put outs at first base, it's "a sure sign somebody is working too hard generally the pitcher. That is what Coleman was do ing in this, game. He was pitch ing such tight game that none of the enemy con Id hit the ball squarely. They were missing it or hitting under it. And that pace finally told on Coleman in this game as we've seen it do onc or twice before. We don't like to say I te!d you so, hut it's a, fact that about the sixth inning, we predicted he couldn't keep it up. (Frisco must have been thinking the same thing, for he had Russell out there warming; lp( and when he, was needed, Rugs was ready to pitch. All you wolves who have been! belittling Frisco may chew ton- that for a while. As for that other outstanding incident in Sunday's game, in which Rodie Lamb and Ted Gir od tangled in a lively mix for one brief round, we don't wish to say very much. Ball players should be able lo take a little good n&tured rough stuff. And brothers, when they play on the same team, ought to let one an other fight their own battle?. Rodie apparently hit Ted first, but from all we hear, he had tbe time honored provocation. ' Funny how these highly touted stars generally fall to come across. Howard Maple came very near be ing useless to the Senators Sun day. Three times he came to bat with everything set for a killing, At Elsinore " -vf-i V-rf-l . I kV J 7 1 mjTH CHATTEnTDN azl LEWIS SJONE m 1ADAM X ml scon IS BHTEN5 TO 4 Grant Harris Jinx Broken as Lyle Bigbee Poles Hit To Win Game Baseball 'tools' were hung up In the closet so far as Salem was concerned, after the Senators Sunday capped the climax of a banner season by administering a 5 to 4 defeat to the Mt. Scott Ti gers, thus bringing to Salem the championship of the tall intercity tournament in addition to the Oregon-Washington league title won previously and the best claim any team has to the state cham pionship. The tenth inning rally in which Lyle Bigbee drove out the hit that scored Frisco Edwards with the winning run, also broke the "jinx which Grant Harris, Mt. Scott's star twirler, has held hanging over the local team all season. He had defeated the Senators four times, twice under Albany's colors and twice for Mt. Scott. Senators Get Three Buns in Second Harris was badly "off" with respect to control in the second Inning, and the Senators scored three runs which, in view of Ralph Coleman's tight pitching, appeared to be enough to win the game. Things continued to look that way until the ninth, when Foss misjudged Calkins' long drive and it went for a homer. A walk and two errors followed, and before the fans could realize it the visitors had three runs, with no body out and the bases loaded. Then Ralph Russel was called to the box, and the Senators stead ied down to retire tbe side with only one more run scored. The last putout of the inning nearly caused a general riot, for Lamb was a trifle rough in tagging T. Girod; that youth spoke a "naughty word" and Lamb lam med him one. The rest of the Gi rod family came swarming in, but all of the belligerents were soon quieted. Frisco Gets Fxte Trip To First in Tenth J the last halt of the .tenth Ed wards drew a base on balls, and after two were out Hafenfeldt singled, his fourth hit of the day. Bigbee followed with a low drive to center field, scoring Kdwards with the winning run. After the Senators' three runs were scored in tho second inning the bases were still loaded when Howard Maple came to bat, but he grounded out to the second. Again in the sixth he cams up with two men on and popped out to third base; and in Che first he had grounded cut to Harris for the last out with a man on third. The score: 31 1. Scott Player T.

J Star Athletic Can the Cnb's pitchers stop the teams win cross bats in the world's series since the Black men have their pennant sewed up and only a tough break can keep the Windy City boys out of it. Any gabfest you know, a friendly argument which ends In fist throwing will wax hot when the fence busting quintet of the "A's" are mentioned. Just look at them (left to right), Bing Miller, Mickey Cochrane, George Haas, Al Simmons and Jimmy Fox, with a combined average of .342. That's slagging row for any pitcher to get by, but Hornsby does ex pect his hurlers to come through. They're good Rogers but they're in n tough spot. Plenty of "Chi" fan will tell yon that Guy Bush and Charlie Root are the pitchers who will show these Quakers few trick. That may all be so, yet you can't help thinking that these babies have their eyes on the ball and It will take extra fine slabwork to stop them. STAGE ALL SET E Last of Applications for Cardboards Received At Chicago . CHICAGO. Sept. 30.

"We haven't a fair chance," Coach Stagg pre- l diets. Sluggers Ready for Series heavy hitters of the Athletics? It On the Sidelines By BRIAN BELL Major league baseball players associated with clubs other than the Chicago Cuba and Philadel phia Athletics are Just finishing the season but "barbering" is rampant on the approaching world's series. Although they will not be called on to participate in the antumn classic other than conversational ly, every player on every other club has some Ideas as to the ap proaching managerial strategy. The American leaguers think the A's will win and the National ath letes string along with the Cubs but that is not the main argument. There Is room for debate on the speed of the fast ball pitchers in volved. If the Athletics know whether Robert Moses Grove can throw a high hard one with more on it than can George Earnehaw or George Walberg, the big "Rube," they remain discreetly silent, but it is not so with the players who bat against the trio. Members of the St. Louis Browns cast a vote for Earnshaw. The Cleveland Indians' ballot went to Grove and an umpire in the vicinity said Walberg was faster than either of his col leagues. Let Bib Falk take the stand. "When Grove wants to throw that ball up there as fast as ho can, look out," said the big Texan. "Earnshaw and Walberg are plen ty fast but for the old blistering speed get out of Grove's way." Little Jackie Tavener nodded assent and then added a contri bution of his own: "I don't want to put him in any speed competition but when you are talking about Athletics pitch ers, 1 11 toss in one vote for Old Jack Quinn as a good slow ball pitcher. "That old fellow's got a spitter that is a spitter. It breaks every sort of way and when he Isn't throwing spitters, he'll slow ball yon to death. Last time ire played in Philly, Old Jack had the hardest spitter to hit I ever saw. -HE Now Playing Friday is the Last Day!" Hurry! RUTH CHATTERTON . . . America's Sarah Bernhardt ...

CARLOS MEIER -Peer of Organists" ml Ymmm seems practically assured that these We couldn't get a good healthy foul. For one, I was glad when it rained and broke up that game t was tired of Old Jack." With only a small portion of ths testimony in. it seems that the A's have three fast pitchers and a slow one. Carrying the discussion Into the National league camp, visitors swearing allegiance to the senior circuit said Pat Malone had plen ty of fire the last time he was seen in action with the Cubs and Guy Bush, too. boasted more than medium speed. Most of the players on the Ath letics and Cubs who. have seen previous world's series from the inside will watch the 1929 edition from the bench. Eddie Collins, with six classics under his belt, is eligible but probably will not take a bat or glove in hand. Art Nehf, the Cubs veteran, may or may not pitch. Jack Quinn is likely to see some action but Kid Gleason will not. Mule Haas of the A's was only a Pittsburgh eligible in 1925. Three of the Cub regulars have played in the blue ribbon event Rogers Hornsby, Hazen Cuyler and Norman McMillan, Hornsby with the Cardinals, Cujier with the Pirates and McMillan for the Yankees. Mike Gonzales was with the pennant winning Giants but did not catch in the series. Volley Ball Meet To Be Discussed At Meet Tonight Plans for the state community volleyball tournament will be dis cussed by the committee In charge, at a meeting tonight at the Portland Y. M. C. A. R. R Boardman and Dr. L. E. Barrick will be Salem men attending the meeting. Teams coached by local men were the finalists in this tourna ment a year ago, the Mt. Ange team taking first place and Kim ball School of Theology second. This year, a larger number of teams is expected to enter.

NEWLAXD Associated Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. (AP) Baseball sings its swan ong In the Pacific coast league this week but the chances are about two to one it will come up with an encore after the season officially ends. The season's schedule will be completed with next Sunday's games. But don't forget, folks, the season was spin, suddenly ana without provocation, last July. The San Francisco Mission Reds galloped off with first half honors but Hollywood's stars have nudged into top position during the tail end of the second half. Two games to the good and sev en to play, the Stars are almost "in." They meet Portland this week but if the Ducks play the same kind of ball they did last week, when Oakland picked oft five of the seven games, the Stars will not have much difficulty in clinging to their perch. Trailing Hollywood, the Mis sions have a long chance to "cop" and finish baseball for this year. Tho Missions meet Seattle's In dians who have had a strong hold on the cellar title, for most of the season. A clean up for the Mis sions with Hollywood "taking a few on the chin" at the same time would upset the calculations. If Hollywood wins, the 1929 championship will be decided in a seven game series, as last year. with the field of battle alternating between Lot Angeles and San Francisco. San Francisco's Seals finish the schedule at Sacramento and Los Angeles comes to Oakland. Ike Boone, husky outfielder of the Mission Reds, has hit 56 home runs to date and still has a chance to break the all-time record for circuit swats in the league. In the rarified atmosphere of Salt Lake City, Tony Lazerri hit 60 homers in 1925. Bone's efforts to date Is far more remarkable than Laz zeri's because in this near-sea-level territory the ball doesn't sail through the air for such long dis tances. e i SATUHf PUT OFF The opening of the football sea son in Salem was still further de layed Monday when It was an nounced that the game which was in prospect for this week end, Willamette vs. St. Johns Bach elors, a club team from Portland, had fallen through. The Willamette athletic author ities have decided that Instead of a game with an outside team Sat urday, they will schedule a con test which will be in all respects a real game, between "Team A1 and "Team B," two groups chosen from the Bearcat squad, for Fri day afternoon. Coach Spec Keene is of the opinion that this game will give him a better opportunity to look over his candidates, than would a came with an outside team. It means In effect that he will have two more weeks to baud up an outfit that may cope with the powerful attack of Coach Mc- Ewan's Oregon eleven. Keene saw Oregon and Pacific play last Saturday, and was Im pressed with the power which Mc- Ewan has built up this season, of mother love.

The Oregon team, he said, was not polished in its teamwork, but it literally ran over the Badgers. The lemon-yellow first string did not stay in the game long, but the reserves who took up the burden made an impressive showing. Moeller, track man converted into a pigskin chaser, was awkward about handling the ball but hit the line like a boulder out of a catapult. Spear and Londahl also looked like good prospects among the new men. Pacific also has a strong team this years stronger than the one that beat Willamette In the big upset of last season, Keene re. ports, in spite of the huge score that Oregon rolled up.
