He was frequently in trouble with the count three and two or worse, but he generally pulled out, allowing only fire free passes. Don Champ, Stayton's sidearm carve ball wizard, also pitched effectively, fanning 12, but in be tween strikeouts the Salem boys piled on him for 11 blows which included a home run and triple by Clinton Hart, catcher, and another three ply swat by Elliott.

At Saltair, Utah, Smertz, who was a sergeant in the 329th ob servation squadron, established what he believed to be a world's record for a "bullet drop" In a parachute jump. The former rec ord for the distance dropped be fore the rip cord is pulled to open the parachute, was 1500 feet. Smertz courted out a full 12 seconds after leaving the plane before opening his parachute and the length of his drop was vari ously estimated between 2800 and 3000 feet. When the parachute opened it slowed him with such a halt that one rib was broken and he was badly shaken up, though not ser iously hurt, according to a news paper story.

June 4 The jun ior baseball team sponsored by the Woodburn American Legion post teok Its first opponents, Sil verton, In the county champion ship series here Saturday after noon on the Legion field, the fin al count being 4 to S for Wood burn. The game was close throughout despite the fact that Woodburn was leading all the way. Time after time Leffler, Wood- bum's portside chucker, worked himself Into holes but every time the situation ended happily. Coomler, the Silverton pitcher, hat one of the Queerest deliveries seen here In many moons. He mix ed up his fast ones with a slow lob pitch that apparently had nothing on It; nevertheless the slow one crossed up the Woodburn batsmen more than once. Coom - m . . iere onerings were hit seven times to nine against Leffler. Woodburn started the fireworks in the first Inning: two men were on bases after Coomler had thrown two balls. Evans sent one back to him on the first ball, and got to first safely. Landsem scored Evans on a bingle, and soon aft erward Pinett crossed the nlate. It was in the fourth frame that Leffler showed that he could work himself out of an nnoom fortable situation. The bases were loaaed and none down. The next two batters grounded out, and t.eny- fanned the third. Leffler scorea in the same inning when UDersi stung one to center fllrt Gorbett of Silverton scored half nis team's runs in the fifth when he lifted one over the left field rence for a home run. A Silverton man scored again In the sixth irame. in the seventh innine- sai feld connected with on of Coom ler s lob teasers, scoring Oberst Leffler found himself in a bad hold in the eighth after he had walked two men and Gorbett had hit safely, however good pitching and support from the team saved the day. The best play of the day, in the estimation of many, was the last one of the game when Land sem, In Woodburn's right field, after having caught a long fly, heaved it to third base to catch Weisner, who had pinch hit for Kuenzi. 8ilverton played errorless ball and the victors made three bungles.

EASTMAN CUTS 1 Does Half Mile in 1:50.9 And 800 Meter run In 1:50, Coast Meet By RUSSELL J. NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO. June- 4. (AP) America's super-man of the cinderpaths, blond Ben East man of Stanford university, added another chapter to his list of amazing achievements today when he bettered world records in the 800-meter and 880-yard runs dur ing the Pacific association track and field championships. While some 3000 spectators cheered him on, the lanky, six foot college youth whizzed around Kezar stadium track with virtu ally no competition to be clocked in 1 minute SO seconds for 800 meters and in 1:50.9 at the 880- yard mark. In both instances he exceeded recognized records. The world's fastest time for the 800 meters Is credited to Sera Martin of France, 1:50.8, made In 1938. Dr. Otto Peltzer set the half-mile mark of 1:51.8 In 1926 Eastman cracked both records in one race in which two tapes and a double set of timers were used Eastman took the lead at the start and finished a full 80 yards ahead of his nearest rival, Jess Markle of the Olympic club, sec ond. By way of topping off his great performances. Big Ben ran the last lap in the 1600 meters relay and gave the crowd a final thrill by making up some 15 yards to bring Stanford a victory. He over took Fred Walts of the Olympic club In the stretch and broke the tape with several yards to spare. Eastman's spectacular races overshadowed a number of other outstanding times, recorded dur ing the meet. 'Bullet" Bob Kie sel, University of California's sophomore sprint ace. proved that he deserves to be ranked as the outstanding short dash man in the country to date this season when he equaled the world's rec ord of 10.4 seconds for the 100 meters. fJorton-H annan Bout is Signed SILVERTON.

There wasn't such a big crowd at the game out there yesterday. out tnose who were there didn't leave their voices behind. They yelled loudly every time their pitcher shoved a strike past a Sa lem batsman, went wild whenever one of their own boys made a hit. and it was a near-riot whenever btayton scored a run. We'd hate to think what might have hap pened if Stayton had won the game. That's the spirit, Stayton. O Stayton had no outstanding players that we could discover, but its team was well balanced with, no weak spots either. Tlie pitcher had a neat curve ball and for the most part, good control. The score at Woodburn indi cates that the team from down there Is the one to look out for, Just as we predicted yesterday But Silverton Is also going to be tough.
