Season Ticket Plan Talked As Solution of Salem High Baseball Finance Problem e2iSSS2S A WlXWlWff TEAM PoB. BEWfltJUlM fAMSt .OSTON baseball fans are looking . for better things from their own Red Sox this season, and according to all reports from the Savannah training camp, this optimism is justified. Presi dent Quinn feels that the Sox have been improved in many ways and attributes much of the improve ment to Manager Shano Collins, who brought the team home in fifth place last year. ' "Collins is the best manager we ever had," said President Quinn. "He has done wonders with the team and helped put over a master stroke in the acquisition of Pitcher Boh Weiland. We have long- been in need of a winning southpaw pitcher and I am sure that need has been filled by Wetland." In addition to Wetland, M-nager Collins has strengthened the team in other. ways., ue Baa recalled second-basemaa Olsen from Buf falo, purchased Southpaw Michaels from the same team and acquired an excellent and hard-hitting eut- iteiaer in stumpz, last year wi the Three I League, i To ret Weiland from the Chi cago White Sox, Manager Collins ftad to rive an mtcher Milton Gaston, but he believes that the trade benefited Boston. Beantown fans look upon Weiland as the best portsider that has appeared in the Hub city since Babe Ruth pitched there. And they are sure that with good pitching the Red Sox can get somewhere in the American League race. I Collins has other stars who seem to Justify the optimistic out look. That big gun of the batting order, Earl Webb, it one. This veteran . outfielder crocked out - sixty-seven doubles last year, set ting a record for the season. In addition he is a great fly chaser and with his power at bat, quite a spoke in the old Huh. The recent death ef Bir Ed - Morris was quite a shock to the Boston fans and his teammates. The loss of Morris upset Manager Collins hurling plans a bit, hut the acquisition of Weiland, Pete Donohue, formerly with the Reds and Giants, and two promising recruits, Burns and Barr, promises to bring the staff up to expecta tions. Well, maybe Boston will have a winner this season, and a winner in Boston is something', youll admit. - OwrrifU. IMS.

The survivor will be the winner. Whenever a man gets his shoul der pinned, for the count, he will drop out of the running and the others continue. One of these af fairs recently held at ugene proved to be such a success that Plant decided to put one on here. The names of the quartet Of grapplers who will mix In the bat tle royal will be announced later. But Optimistic MILL CITY, March 24 The basketball boys were awarded let ters Tuesday afternoon at a short student body meeting. Each boy responded with short speech. Re ceiving letters were: Roger Har- F CMTT "Women demand equality la constitution and statu tea with, males."- C. J. headline. Now, we knew women didn't all have as good constitutions as men, if "constitution means what it's often taken to mean ia these prohibition times. But we always thought the women had equal rights when it came to statv jes. Of coarse there's the Venus de Milo he hasn't much of a right bat' it's equal to her left, If onr recollection doesn't fall. Over at Albany college Coach Baleom resigned because the trus tees or the administration object ed to "over emphasis" of inter collegiate sports. That's right. A school like that shouldn't go out and pay a 'million dollars for a big, crushing football team. It's a shame. Seriously speaking, we be- ' come weary of these theoretical, educators and meddlers who de cry "over emphasisand de mand reforms which will em body a "comprehensive pro gram of intramural sports for the rank and file of student, who need physical development more than the trained varsity athletes. ' Baseball practice has not start ed at Leslie Junior high school as yet. Coach Gurnee Flesher hold ing up on the weather. But Just as soon as the old sun smiles again the south Salem boys will be out en the diamond with en thusiasm and endeavor to build a machine which can again dump Parrish Junior high. Leslie won a baseball game from Parrish Junior high last spring, the one and only contest mat the south Salem Juniors have won. from the north Capitol school in all the years of compe tition. Unless Coach Gurnee Flesher uncovers some latent baseball tal ent in his student body, chances are slim for another win over Parrish as he does not hare one letterman from last season and not even a fellow who played In a single game. Art Staples and Sam Sherrlll are being groomed for mounds men and both show nosslbilities of developing into fair fllngers, though how they wilj perform when trying to slide their offer ings past actual batters, is yet to be demonstrated. Ike Burns is going to try out for catcher, though he has had no experience at that position. Outside of these two positions, Flesher does not know who will be used to make up the team. A large turnout Is expected and a peppy team is anticipated. In addition to varsity baseball. a couple of playground ball leagues will be formed, one an Season baseball tickets will ap parently assure a baseball team for Salem high this season pro viding 20 of these tickets can be sold. Season tickets which will en title the holders to witness all the home games, are being sold for $1 each and providing $10 can be raised from the sale of them. Principal Fred Wolf states that $100 will be contributed by the school toward financing the season. With that much of a nest to start on, Salem high will not bo cramped during the season i S100 is more than has usually been alloted. according: to Coach Hollls Huntington. . . The season . tickets will doubt less prove popular with Salem people and a large sale is anticipated. No schedule at all has been drawn as yet and spring football will be held before baseball prac- inter-class league and the other a noon league. Only two Lettermen Show Up but Experienced Hurlers Appear After one baseball 'practice. Parrish Junior high has been kept off the field the remainder of the week by rain, hut will make use of all the fair weather that eomes, in order to be in condition for the early season games which - begin soon. Verne DeJardln and Phil Sal- . strom are the two lettermen back from last season, DeJardln a catcher and Salstrom second base man. DeJardln was one of the reg ular catchers for the Marion coun ty Legion team last year and was ' heady player. Salstrom covers second base in great style and is a fair hitter. In addition to these letermen, ' Coach Harold Hauk reports sever al other baseball men in school. Faist, another member of the Marlon county Legion team, is in Parrish and will help solve the mound problem, as he was a stel lar pitcher last season. Two other pitchers are report ed to be In school. Weese, who is a southpaw, and Tucker a right hander. Still another transfer ' baseball player has turned out, a lad who played American Legion Junior baseball last year in New Mexico. Squad of 45 Out, Willingness Shown If all these players pan out well. -LHauk will hare a much better crew to start with than Is usual in Junior high schools where most of the fellows are too small to play until their last year. A turnout of 45 answered the first call and the entire squad showed a willingness to work. The first game is scheduled for April 1 against Gervais. a regular Mar lon county B league game.

In extinguishing the Breyman block fire early yesterday morn ing', firemen used some 640,000 gallons of water in three- hours, it was estimated. Ten hose lines were connected to four pumpers and three lines to hydrants. The new Mack pumper alone was kept running at the rate of 1000 gal lons a minute. All downtown equipment was rushed back to the block at noon yesterday when bystanders be lieved the fire was starting up again. The smoke which alarmed them issued from a pile of burn ing debris and no equipment oth er than a hose already on the scene was needed. Two other alarms were received by the fire department: one for a chimney fire at 1010 Broadway RESULTS LH SILVERTON, March H The result of the publicity circular which Sllverton business men in conjunction with the Homeseek rs agency have put out, has be gun to be felt. The first response was that of Mr. and Mrs. E. Vance, who came here from near Los An geles upon the strength of the circulars.
