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.

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.!

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.
