Salem's American Legion Jun
lot baseball team faces this week
end the crucial series of the coun
ty championship race, playing
both of Its strongest rivals. Wood-
burn and Silverton. Saturday the
Salem Juniors will invade Silver
ton, the game to be played at 3
p. m'. Sunday forenoon at. 10:30
the Woodbnrn Juniors, favorites
to win the county title, will make
their only appearance here.
Woodburn Is listed as the fa
vorite because of Its overwhelm
ing defeat of Stayton last Sun
day, but Salem Is conceded a sub
stantial chance to win since it de
feated Silverton fully as decisive
ly as Woodburn bad done the day
previous. In view or the oreans
that figured on both of those
games, it is apparent that there
is but microscopic difference in
strength between the three teams
fienlotx May Hurl
Against Woodburn
Coach Harold Hauk of the Sa
lem Juniors has not announced
his plans for the two games but
Is expected to start Francis Gat
cnel on the mound against Sil
verton Saturday and send Nick
Serdots against Woodburn, Sun
day. Gatchell allowed Stayton but
four hits last week and struck out
14 men; while Serdotz, though he
allowed Silverton nine hits, struck
out 11 and kept the bincles bo
well scattered that lie was en
titled to a shutout, barring bob
bles behind him.
The only change in the Salem
starting lineup that is impend
ing is the shifting of Ray Elli
ott to second base and Mike Mil
ler from that berth to Elliott's
former place in left field. Elliott
performed capably and at times
brilliantly on the second sack for
Salem high, and while Miller was
a steady infielder for Parrish he
looks .more like a natural out
fielder.
Seme difficulty has been en
countered in keeping the local
squad Intact because some of the
boys have to work, but is expect
ed that practically all of those
who have been playing will be
on hand Saturday and Sunday.
Woodburn Goes to
Stayton Saturday
Woodburn will play at Stayton
Saturday and Stayton will go Xo
Silverton Sunday. Woodburn's
track meet performance against
Stayton last Sunday may be ex
plained by the fact that Stayton
lacked more than the one capable
pitcher who worked against Sa
" lem, Don Champ. If he takes the
mound in Saturday's game the
outcome may not be so one-sided.
It is probable that "Lefty" Lef
fler, the only Marion county boy
playing his fourth year of Legion
Junior ball, will take the hillock
against Salem Sunday forenoon.
Silverton acquired nine hits off
Leffler last Saturday but he pitch
ed himself out of repeated tight
places and held the east siders to
two runs.

Garden's New
Bowl Opened
By Grapplers
By EDWARD J. NEIL
NEW YORK, June 9. ( AP)
Calmly, almost apathetically.
herd of wrestlers, headed by
"Strangler" Ed Lewis, the ancient
caveman of Kentucky, and "Ruth
less" Richard Shikat, of Germany,
opened Madison Square Garden's
new outdoor bowl on Long Island
tonight.
That portion of the .crowd of
about 35,000 that came to see the
wrestling watched Lewis, old and
fat, throw Shikat, young and pow
erful, in one hour, six minutes
seven seconds with a headlock
Those who attended mostly to
view the huge ampitheatre where
Max Schmeling and Jack Sharkey
will fight for the heavyweight
title June 21, had a nice time par
ading through vacant, seats and
visiting with friends.
About the time the friendly folk
had seen all there was of the
INCINNAT1, a hotbed of base
ball enthusiasm, finds itself
all in a lather because the
Re'ds seem headed for somewhere
in that National League race. And
this metamorphosis of a sixth place
team into a potential winner came
about through trades!
First was that big deal with the
Brooklyn Dodgers which brought
the heavy-hitting Babe Herman,
nd Emie Lombard! and Gilbert to
Cincinnati. Another trade brought
Grantham and then came the big
break when Chick Hafey, batting
champion of the league last year,
refused to agree on salary terms
with the Cardinals. The Reds
gladly handed over a few players
and a bundle of cash for Hafey's
contract, thus rounding out a real
murderer's row." Right soon base
hits began rattling off the bats of
the new Red sluggers and pretty
soon the team moved up and up
until it was threatening the league '
leaders. And the strange part of
it is that the tcaia is still up there
and booming; along like a poten
tional champion.
For the first tune in years the
Reds are displaying one of the best
hitting outfields in the league. In
place of Roush, hitting .271 last
year; Crabtree, batting .Z6S ana
Heathcote, a .257 hitter, the team
boasts two of the heaviest hitters
in the National. Smart trades cer
tainly did bring a needed punch,
and the once lowly Reds have sud
denly become a power in the old
circuit.
While Manager Dan'Howly had
to part with two splendid players
in Joe Strinn and Cuccinello to get
Hermanfrom the Dodgers, he felt
that, inasmuch as he was fairly
well equipped with infield material,
the sacrifice was worth while. With
Grantham. Gilbert and Durocher
holding down the infield berths in
great style things have worked out
okay.
. Cincinnati fans are still trying
to get their breath since the great
change, and they seem to be in for
further surprises. There is talk
now of trades which will brine
much-needed pitching strength to
the team. Negotiations are under
way, report has it, whereby the
Reds will get the services of a star
pitcher from the Chicago Cubs in
exchange for an outfielder. Red
land fans are wondering who the
outfielder might be. Hafey and
Herman, of course, are out as far
as a trade is concerned, but there
are a few other worthies like
Roettger and Crabtree who might
figure in the deal.
With the added new punch and
the possibility of new pitching
strength the other National League
teams may well harken to the
growing cry "Watch those Reds!"
Cbrrrlfkt. 133. Kins rtttuns fjadlesta. Inc.
place, those who came only for
the wrestling were booing gently.
As the curfew hour of 11 p.m.
Impended, Lewis came suddenly to
life, beat the youthful Shikat bru
tally about the body with both
fists, threw him violently to the
mat and pinned him, to the great
surprise of all.
Lewis, former champion in a
rival group of that of Jack Cur
ley, for whom he wrestled tonight,
thus gained the right to challenge
Jim Londos for the heavyweight
title in the Madison Square Gar
den division.
The new bowl, a cement lined
saucer hollowed out of the
ground, will seat 70,000 when
filled.

CSSl Tt,fUa' waa an outsider, quoted at 18 to 1 in the
- Darture finishtd aecond and Lord ioaebesry'i Mirade third,
The more we labor at this
odd, peculiar, maddening, fas
cinatlng game of golf, the
more we are convinced of some
thing that may sound foolish.
It's easier to play par golf
than any other kind.
Not that we've had any exper
ience in the 70s, but occasionally
we par two or three holes in sue
cession and can testify that it's
as easy as rolling off a log. AH
there is to it is get on the green
in two less than par and then
putt twice.
What we really mean is that
in this peculiar game, suppos
ing you play several strokes
above par habitually say nine
strokes above which many do,
you can't expect by hard work
to cat off a stroke here and a
stroke there. No, It can't be
done. There are only two places
where that can be accomplish
ed. One is in putting and the
other in making the short ap
proaches accurate enough so
that putting is made easy.
But in general, you either play
the kind of golf that gets you
around in something close to par
or else you don't. If you do, it
means you have a reliable, cor
rect swing. If you don t, you
haven't. . In the latter case
vou may nlay some holes in
nar: the lack of reliability in
your swing Is the whole Issue.
Furthermore, there's only
one way to get a reliable swing
and that's to learn it from
someone who knows. And the
only safe way to know that be
knows, 1 to take your advice
only from a pro.
The other day we were talking
to a caddto who said ha had
watched dozens of golfers doing
absurd , things because they had
been exnerlmenting 1 to ' correct
some fault, hit the ball some out
landish way , and it happened to
go right, and. they stuck to that
queer habit from then on.

Ahead of Alliss
SANDWICH. England, June .
(AP) The old, old story of
American domination In the Bri
tish open gold title chase went in
to its second stirring chapter to
day as chunky Gene Sarazen
equaled the Prince's course record
with a 69 for an aggregate of 70-
(9 139 and a commanding lead
at half way.
Saraien's brilliant exhibition to
day, equaling the mark set by the
young Britons, Don Curtis and
Erie McCruvle, In the qualifying
round, gave him a three-stroke
margin over Percy Alliss, closest
of the British contenders. The
American star, nine under par for
two rounds, air bat snuffed out
the hopes of the defense for an
other break in the parade of nine
American conquests in the past
10 years.
Only 10 professionals had much
chance left for the crown Tommy
Armour won last year. The "Black.
Scot" himself was among them,
along with MacDonald Smith, an
other overseas threat. Technically
there were 60 players left in the

NEW ROUTE TO OE
PIT OF HIGHWAY
According to plans of the coun
ty court the North Santlam high
way from Salem to Aumsville
will eventually be routed over the
new market road from the Cot
tage farm to' Aumsville. This will
later be turned over to the state
highway commission as a second
ary highway, and final improve
ments will be made on state
funds. The county court has re
cently been granted right-of-way
so that the highway will ran past
the airport to Mission street and
down Mission to Commercial.
It is necessary for the road to
hook np with Commercial street
since District Attorney Carson
ruled that . a secondary market
road cannot be made Into a sec
ondary highway unless it con
nects one state highway with an
other. At the other end It will
Join the main Santlam highway,
so that the road win eventually
be a completed part of the state
highway program.
The reason 'for the proposed
routing Is simply to obtain the
nearest and . most - direct - route
from eastern Oregon,' as .lt is
known that the state . highway
commission which will take over
the highway will accept nothing
less than the most direct route.
This probably means that the
market road from Aumsville to
the Cottage farm will be paved.
