Sid Milligan in conquering Old Man Par knocked over three ' birdies, but the feature perform ance of the afternoon was that of Wanker, West Linn entry. . Wanker's feat was scoring a "double eagle" or "dodo" on the first hole; he made it in two : strokes, three under par." All of the high school golfers were mak ing: long drives on the first fair way, aided by firm turf and a fa vorable wind, but Wanker's was a beautiful shot that carried over 206 yards and then rolled about 100 yards more. It wasn't meas ured, but the hole is 451 yards and Wanker made his second shot, which sank into the cup, with a mashie-niblick. ft was the first time this hole had ever been played in two strokes.

In yoar date book. With the storm and strife of politics mere history by that time, you'll be attie to give undivided attention to the reviv al of an ancient feud Salem Sen ators vs. Eugene Townies, 2:30 p.m. at dinger field. Mention of this game revives recollection of numerous hard fought diamond battles of the past, accompanied by the color fnllnesa of extreme community rivalry. We remember a game two years ago which the Town ies won 17x to 6, bnt we wont go Into detail about that. It tied up the Willamette Valley league championship j race and neces sitated another game which the Senators won. The Townies seem to have just as strong a.team this year as ever. ana already hold one victory over the Senators. Some of the old fa miliar faces coming back will be tnose of Cotter, Gould, Van Dyne who is a catcher Instead of an intlelder now, Chappie King, Don nusDana, ennck Wirtn, Burton ana L.lDDy. j There's another wniir with the outfit well bo person "Mums to see again Fred HajTlson, who pitched for the Bend Elks a! number of years ago when we had something to do with running that team. A doggone good hnrler, Freddie is, and a eolorfal athlete. He has Jaw like the late Vcl9 Joe Cannon. . He did some things in baseball and football for U. of O. once upon a time.

The fact is that the first fort night of the 1932 season threw the extremes of baseball into bold re lief. More shutouts than within recent memory, at least. More home runs than in 1930's curtain raising settos. And to top it all off, Detroit was leading the junior loop and the Boston Braves were out in front in the National! Seriously, though, many fans, seeing the home runs' before they noticed the shutouts, nodded wise ly among themselves and with a "you can't fool me" attitude, in sisted that tne rabbit had been tucked once more beneath the seams and horsehide m anticipa tion of renewed fan interest, in four-base production. The magnates haven't admitted this. Those who ought to know ; : Leslie and Parrish Teams Begin Their Diamond War This Afternoon at Olinger The annual baseball battle be tween Leslie and Parrish Junior high schools begins today at 3:30 on Olinger field with Sherill of Leslie opposing Weese of Par rish on the mound. Verne , DeJardin. veteran Par rish catcher and heavy hitter, will not be able to play as he wrenched his knee recently. While this will brighten Leslie's chances it may also serve to put fire into the Parrish nine. Coach Harold Hauk has a habit of steaming his men up when they are the nnder-dogs, and a lively contest Is likely to ensue. Baseball Is the only snort In which Leslie has ever defeated dent. We used to be his team mate, as secretary, and they had us drafted to repeat but our friend HIghellmber came to the rescue in our absence and prevented it, we near. Much obliged, Roy. Johnny Steelhanuner, the beanpole first baseman,' was around these parts again this week, school being out over in ; eastern Oregon. He has been " playing with The Dalles team so far this season. Johnny reports that Bend has a big league out fit again. State Involved In Condemnation Suit, Gold Beach Trial of the case Involving the condemnation of a small tract of land owned by the Macleay estate company and ased by the state of Oregon in connecting np the coast highway with the new bridge at Weddebura. will get under way In the Curry county circuit-court within ths next tew days.' This was announced Thursday by J. M. Devers, attorney for . the state highway commission. . In an answer to. the complaint filed In $ha circuit court at Gold Beach yesterday the Macleay Es Si -JASBM have denied it and wise baseball men reconcile the homers to the shutouts with the explanation that early in the year some pitchers are always ahead of some batters, that some batters are always ahead of some pitchers. Some teams, they claim,, are far ahead of roost pitchers at times and can clout out homers at will on certain days. Some pitchers, on the other hand, are far ahead of all batters for stretches of several weeks and can twirl shutout ball while the spell lasts. And then there will always be the inevitable homers off the bat of Babe Ruth, as long; as that port ly but extremely agile gentleman can manage to get around. One thing about a season' like this, though. Some fans like to see low-hit games. Others like to see home-run carnivals. Well, so far, there have been plenty of ex hibitions of both kinds, so every body ought to be satisfied. Cberrisht. U. Kins ram ftrmdirata. Imm. Parrish.

Howard Maple, who as assist ant football and basketball coach at Willamette university this school year, participated in the first game of the double header at New York Thursday, relieving ftpeneer. Washington catcher, to ward the end of the ten-inning game. So far as local fans watch ing the Washington scores for Maple's name have noticed, this was his first appearance in a lea gue game. He was sold to Wash ington by the Bloomington club in the Three I league early in the spring. ' Title Clash Set Monday; Rain Delays Rain melted away hopes of playing the double header base ball game with Pacific university here Thursday, so the pair of con ference tilts have been postponed until Monday when both will be played on Olinger field. Willamette is still undefeated in the conference after six starts, while Pacific has lost one out of four. Should Pacific win both games from Willamette, the Bad gers . would be in line for play against Whitman for the confer ence championship providing Lin- field could be disposed. The Badgers are coneeeded a better chance of winning from the Bearcats than any of the other conference schools In this section. Eldon Jenne's men won from Col lege of Puget Sound and Willam ette had a hard time to do the eatne. According to present plans the Whitman series will bo played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week at Walla Walla. Crowds for baseball games In the past have not been large enough here to warrant bringing Whitman to Salem for the series this year. Andy Peterson and George Er ickson will be the pitchers against Pacific both making their final appearance of the season here. Stewart Opens Up Wool Agency Roy H.

The state tournament will be hejd one week earlier next year as these dates will fit In bet ter with the school's programs.
