Irlahl Maver SWIERTZ SIGNED FOR NEXT BOUT Has Beaten Strawberry King Twice; Ticket Price for Summer is Reduced Matchmaker Harry Plant has been trying to no avail during the jast nine months to bring some welterweight wrestler to Salem who can win from Henry Jones of Provo, Utah, and at last It looks as though he has the gentleman spotted who can turn the trick. At least Art Smertz of Salt Lake City. Utah has already defeated Jones twice and believes that he can do it again In the Salem arena. - Both Smertz and Jones hall from the same state and as far as Oregonlans are concerned they seem like backyard neighbors' to each other. Smertx Is the welter weight champion of the Inter mountain region by virtue of his Tlctcry over Henry Jones. While Smertz has twice defeat ed the old Strawberry King, Jones Is not at aj.1 loathe to tangle with him and In fact Is welcoming an opportunity9 to take another crack at the grappler who took his title from him. Art Smertx is not only a wres tier, but also an aviator and may employ the airplane spin, though he haa a habit of using the head scissors combined with other holds in winning his matches. Special reduced summer prices for tickets will prevail. Those "Weak" Teams! -By HARDIN BURNLEY OEYtzOiTs MANAGED ! Awards Made To Woodburn High Athletes WOODBURN. June 2.

June 2 (AP) The Angels retaliated hand somely tonight for their last even ing's walloping, winning from San Francisco 15 to 3, apparently im proved in the batting eye by a bit of morning practice today. They routed Ken Douglas with a six run spree in the opening in ning. Lee Stine replaced Douglas and receipted for a trouncing the rest of the game. Los Angeles get ting a total of 21 hits. Bill Cronin hit three doubles and a single in five times at bat. while Mike Kreevlch got a homer, double and single. Ernie Sulik, who got six yes terday, drove In all three Seal runs.

Records mean much In track, far more than scores do in other athletic contests, because track records are measured by watches and yardsticks, and are constant ly targets for Improvement. Of course scores are counted in track meets, but over a long period of years where track is a prominent sport. the records Overshadow the scores turned in by teams and individuals. Due both to an overloading of work on track coaches at Wil lamette university and also to doldrums in track Interest there, there is no complete record of marks made In past meets by Bearcat track men. To preserve the memory of out standing cinder men ot the past and to stimulate present and fu ture track men to greater efforts, The Oregon Statesman is cooper ating with Coach "Lea" Sparks and his his assistant, Burgess Ford, In trying to collect all the records of the past. There isn't a great deal to start i on. out tnose marss recanea oj Ford, who has been closely as sociated with the university lor a period of almost 30 years, will suffice as a starter and will prob ably bring to mind other marks which may be better. WHEN the current baseball season opened, two of the teams which were torn from all hope by "expert" opinion were the Boston Braves and the Detroit Tigers. Here, most of the more prominent sports writers were agreed, were two teams al most certain of a cellar berth. The Braves had been pasted all over the grapefruit league by the Yanks, and the Tigers had been 6ent back to the jungle by McGraws apparently invincible Giants. Yet after the season opened both of these "weak" teams set out to serve notice on the other seven clubs in their respective leagues that they were going to be factors all the way through. The Braves started out by com pletely vanquishing the Dodgers and Giants, punishing the Phillies, pounding the Pirates, and high hatting the world champion Cards and the high-flying Cubs. What if they did take a few drubbings from the Reds? The Reds, most improved team in either leagne, were beating everyone else, too. The Tigers benched Big Dale Alexander, who led the American League in batting for the first month last year. They recalled Gerald Walker, cocky and very able outfielder, from Toronto. A slugger named Davis supplanted Alexander at the initial sack. Gehringer came back better than ever at second. Rogell took over the shortstop's berth, and an .earn est worker named Richardson was posted at third. For pitchers there were White hill, Sorrel, Wyatt and Co. with lots of individual ability but with not so much of a record for achievement. Detroit had most of these boys before, and still lost pretty consistently. Well, Detroit played around with the first division, took first place, held it for a while, and at last reports were still going very well, thank you. And thank Mr. Bucky Harris, the shrewd young manager of the Tigers." After all, a weak team that wins doesn't do so without reason. There must be some explanation. And the fact is that the Boston Braves and the Detroit Tigers, 1932 editions, tore the National YlJO RKAUUV and American Leaguesjapart with their early playing simply because they were directed by two of the smartest managers in baseball. Bill McKechnie, at the helm of the Braves, is now working ont the final year of a 8-year contract. Before he took over the National League destines of the Bean town, he won pennants for Pittsburgh and St. Louis. Bucky Harris won two pennants for Washington. So these two "surprise" pilots of what were allegedly about the weakest of major league teams, will not feel entirely lost if they pull the biggest surprise of all and meet in a World's Series in October. . And incidentally, it would be the second World's Series meeting of these two canny leaders. The last time, McKechnie was man-, aging Pittsburgh (it was in 1925)'; and he gained the laurels over' Harris, who was managing Wash ington. Bucky would like to even that score, and while the betting! is very much against it, the on-' certainty of the game leaves a chance..- i Tigers vs. Braves? Well, maybe.! Copjrlcht. 131.

Lenhard and son Walter Scott Lenhard return ed Monday from a three days vis- It with relatives in Monitor. While there they enjoyed a re ception given Sunday afternoon for his niece, Mrs. Loretta Wag goner, daughter of Mrk and Mrs William Wolfe. Loretta Wolfe and Sam Waggoser were married in Klamatk Falla May 2U COMMENTS Most fans know the baseball rules pretty thoroughly, thanks to the fact that no essential changes have been made in those rules for years. Bat, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, few fans know much about the roles that guide the scorekecp er and this lack of knowledge extends to a good many experi enced ball players. Last Sunday, for Instance. In the third Inning of the Salem Sen ators game with Albany-Jeffer son, Salem loaded the bases but got no runs. When Gardner Knapp announced the inning's figures "One hit, no runs, no er rors," there was a general gasp from the crowd generally. We'll take the blame. We gave those figures to Knapp. And since then we have heard an Informal pro test even from Frank "Burly Bashor, boss ot the Senators. He, however, thought there should have been more hits; 90 per cent of the fans thought there should have been some errors. Nevertheless we insist that the rale book backs as up. Here's, what happened. Hib bard, first man np, hit one to the shortstop, who blocked It bat didn't field It cleanly and Hibbard was safe. There Is room for a difference of opin ion, but anyway the book gives as plenty of latitude for calling that a hit. Gribble bunted and the pitcher threw to second base, too late to catch Hibbard. Two 'men on. Adams banted and the pitcher threw to third, again too late. Bases loaded. One hit, one time at bat, no errors or walks. Bashor contended that Grib ble and Adams should have bad hits m everybody wan sale on their bun to. So we will respect fully quote the last portion of section S, rule TO, of the base ball rules: "When a fielder, after hand ling a batted ball, elects to try to retire a base-runner Instead of the batter, the play is known as a 'fielder's choice.' ... If the run ner is not retired, and no error Is made, the batter shall be charged with a time at bat, but no hit, provided he swung at the j ball, and shall be credited with a : sacrifice hit. nrovlded he bunted I the ball; If, however, in the judg ment of the scorer the batter I could not have been retired at ' first base by perfect fielding, he j shall be credited with a base hit." i O There was no basis for fig uring Gribble and Adams could have beaten out those bunt if the play had been at first base, so they get sacrifices. Another queer one occurred in a Rational league game at uni cago Wednesday when Pepper Martin and Eddie Delker bit home runs In the eighth inning, but the final score was 1 to 0 tor St. Louis. Rain started and the Cubs didn't get their turn at bat in the eighth, so everything the Cardinals did in the first of the eighth was wiped out As a mat ter of fact, no home runs will go down In the records.

Coach "Lea" Sparks expects to have a track team next year which will give the conference leaders a good run. Don Faber is the only one of this year's squad who will not return. Faber has been the high scorer this season and during four years of competition has placed in every meet he has entered, Including four conference meets. Sparks entered 12 men In the meet ; t Walla Walla and while no firsts were taken by his Bearcats, nine of the 12 placed and the oth er three each hit fifth place in their events. The lettermen this season are Cannady. Connors, Cooke, Dumas, Faber, James. Lange. Larnard, Kaiser, McCullough. and Sher wood. In addition to these, a number of other men added points daring the season and. will be good competitors next year. Near-L"ttermen Promising Material Fantz narrowly missed making his letter this year in the discus and doubtless would have, had he not been bothered with a sore side. Mealey Is a promising miler and Barnett will develop into a good miler. Doescher started working on the javelin late in the season, but Sparks believes by next year he will be sending the wooden spear out 190 feet. Boyd Is another good prospect with the Javelin and also puts the shot. Dean will probably improve in the pole vault and Rieke will be able to do some good with the discus and in the high jump, it is expected. Carpenter has pros pects of being a good broad Jumper. Faber has proven to be Willam ette's most consistent sprint man this season, but James ran the 100 yard dash in 10 flat In his heat at Whitman and by next year will be stepping with the best.
