SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March 28. (AP) Seattle defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates. 7 to f, In the first of a two-game baseball exhibition series here today. Two big Innings gave the Pac ific Coast league club victory. In the first Inning, the Indians swamped the Pirates with four rnns and put across three more In the eighth. The National leaguers, with Meine, Chagnon and Wood doing mound duty, held the tribe in check the remainder of the awarded a Tictory over Bulldog Jackson Tuesday night at the armory, when Jackson failed to re-enter the ring after being toss ed out with Reed's famous flying bead scissors. Jackson claimed, and many fans thought, that Reed, who went out on 'he floor also In tossing Jackson out, club bed Jackson over the bead with a chair while they were out in the crowd. Reed did pick np a chair and they were at close quarters; but Referee Vern Harrington by awarding the bout to Reed ruled that no foul had been committed, and use of a chair as a club, un less proyoked, would most cer tainly hare been a foul. - There' was plenty of action throughout the bout, and Jack son's previously demonstrated grudge against Harringtott was re-demonstrated in some haymak ers In which there was "no fool In." Reed won the first fall also by tossing Jackson out of the ring with a "sonnen plane" the Reeds port editor claimed he bad Just Invented; a sonnenberg aimed bo that It enabled Reed to lift the Alaskan out across the ropeo in the same motion. Jackson took the second fall with a hammer lock. Henry Jones defeated Jack Mitchell in the one-hour bout, but did nothing to endear himself to the fans while he was about it. In thefirst place Jones held up the show for some time, due. it was said, to car trouble at Oregon City. Jones also had his troubles with the referee; and throughout the bout, he consistently roughed Mitchell to avoid the necessity for wrestling. Jones won the firsf fall with a half wrlstlock and body press, Mitchell the second with a Bot ton crab and Jones thethlrd with a Deadlock and body slam. A boxing bout between "Mickey Mouse" and Wayne Baker tilled In part of the time before Jones arrived. The bout was called a draw. The show drew one of the big- gest crowds m ine history of wrestling here. There was a "queue" awaiting tickets In the rain at 8:15, halt a block long. Going into the last half of the ninth two runs In arrears, the Pirates started a rally but It was good for only a single score. Seattle 7 t 1 Pittsburgh 6H 1 Batteries: Sewall.

Nothing came of It at the time, but bow with practically all of Salem's golf activity con centrated in one spot, the Sa lem Golf club coarse, the idea seems more feasible. The Statesman will organize a team Just as soon as It hears some body else Is organising one. We read in the Medford papers that there Is a panning contest going on down there. Yes, and everybody In Jackson county seems to have been enrolled re cently, though many are not pan ning as vigorously now .as they did a few weeks ago. Ob. Reading on, we find the story refers to a goldpanning contest, but anyway we stick to out story, that a lot of plain and fancy panning has been going on. And they claimed that the panning contest was bringing Meti.'ord a lot of publicity. That goes both ways, too. Turn a flock of athletes loose to practice whatever the current sport happens to be, according to their own gait; then watch them and you'll find each one is prac ticing the part of it that he does well, not the part that is diffi cult for him; at least that's what -' Dec Keene tells hia machine- t Iakbph and wa hive nnllvai) trim a f v. . w - - - things that appear to corroborate It.

So far, the Parrish baseball sauad has not been able to do any outdoor practicing, and Hauk visions an Initial game in which he will have to Instruct some of his boys whieh end of the bat to grasp: There are some lakes on dinger field, and It will take sev eral days of dry weather to bring about satisfactory playing condi tions . .

Palo Alto and has made an snusual first-year record, 'having coached championship teams In both foot ball and basketball. His teams went through stiff schedules both seasons without losing a game and without injuries. It Is recorded that Finney, when he Joined the Ducks last year, was a little weak against southpaw pitching. So Lou. In stead of dodging the portsiders, hired all the left-handed young sters he encountered to pitch to him, and gave them a special bon us If they struck him out. All this happened in his spare time and it's said Finney's hands frequent ly were blistered when he showed up at the park, from too much bat-swinging In odd hours. So. in case Mr. Finney should go places with the A's, that's something to remember about him. Sparks Visitor; Has Good Record At Menlo School L. J.

Riskd Defeated By Dick Daniels - CLEVELAND. March (AP) Dick Daniels, Minneapolis heavyweight, fought his , way to a ll-round decision over Johnny Rlako of Cleveland tonight. Ia the tint round Daniels sent a right to Rlsko's jaw which sent the Clevelaader down tor a count of ONE looks toward ths Wash ington Senators and what does one behold bat a das sling, almost blinding sunburst, like th political cartoonists employ to get across a stunning idea. Ia this case, th idea may be labeled PEN NANT. -The idea burns hotly ia th Sen ators camp, and sends Its aurora- like circles far and wide over th easebaU horizon. Even our own dear spotlight of fandom la taken in by its luxnriant glow. We've got to string along with th rest, and say that the Senators look good enough to finish first or second ia th American League. That's how they look. : v i ;:'TM From wher w sit, it is hard to . find a weakness In th aggregation ' that owner Clark Griffith has dished out for Jo Cronin to serve p this season. There is mat hittine- abil ity,- fin pitching, topnotch fuitKng and canniness n cad. Th team looks as if it eaa more along swiftly onoer au tnat power. Question: Swiftbr noun to pass th Yankees? Certainly the Joseph wiQ hair to consider himself a flop if he can't manage a team like th Senators into a doM race with th Yankees. Th trades mad by Griffith brought "Goosa Goslin and Fred Sehulte to revise West and Kevnolds in th outfield, and th southpaws Walter Stewart and Earl Whitehill to bal- ane th mound eontins-ent Thai fellow Luke Sewell whom th Sena tors obtained from Cleveland is n brainy receiver and fans consider his acquisition well worth the loss of Fred Spencer's hitting abilities. And SO the Tounr Cronin can alibi not at all if things dont hap pen when the Senators commence. This slam-bang shortstop, just toned 6. will endeavor to tnn in th kind of work achieved by a predecessor, th then youthful Bncky Harris, who led th Senators to a world chaxnznonshin in 1924. : Here's a bit about Cronin, He's th youngest man ever to wear the manage rial shoes of a major league team. A native of Su PniuHim a went Into league baseball from hirh school. He was taken tm H the Pirates bef or h was 19, want to th minors and then to th Sena. tors in 18Z8. m 1929 he hit SX2 seems well established. In 1930 he nit .340, and was voted th most valuable player ia th leaarna. xnings iook good zor Cronra and for the Senators. It is believed that h will have no trouble has. dling th team. Notable is the fact mat mere wiu a utu embarrass ment on th score of having to boss a flock of veterans who were for. merry bis playing pals, because there ar only a few ef those vet erans on the Senators. Only Bhseg at third and Ifyer at second have been with th Senator more than two seasons as rerulars. r And so there is as much opti mism about Washington as there is in Washington. And that stacks np freuy nign. ists. an Firing Practice Will be.Started By Pistol Class Actual firing practice is sched uled to occupy th attention of an advanced group of plstoleers at this evening's marksmanship class of the local reserve officers' rifle and pistol association, it was announced Tuesday by.
