SAN FRANCISCO. July 2S
(AP) Eight short of the record
for professional . baseball ' but
tearing a mighty mark for coast
league batsmen to shoot at, young
Jo DemaggioJ Seals outfielder,
ended - an amazlnj; consecutlre
game hitting feat today when he
raiiea to aeuver in nu cznd con
test.
The 18 year
old Italian youth.
who came oat
ity to become
of sand lot obscur
a headllner within
the last four months, bludgeoned
himself a niche in the hall of
by hitting in his
61st straight contest last night.
Fire times today he tried to In
crease the string but unlike Wil
lie Keeler of an older school, he
forgot to "hit 'em where they
ain't." But in failing to prolong
bis great batting marathon, the
modest youngster bowed out of
the limelight
in true hero fash-
Ion. His long
fielder Harlln
fly ball to right
Pool in the ninth
Inning brought in the run that
-enabled thef Stals to defeat Oak
land, 4-3. :
Demaggio's long batting session
started May h 28. By batting
.through his yjst game he ap
proached closely the record for all
leagues of 69 set by the late Joe
Wilhoit in 1919. Wilholt was a
member of the Wichita team of
'the western league when he es
tablished the tnark. In 69 games
he made 151 hits in 299 times at
bat for an average of .503.
On July 14 Deniaggio broke the
coast lfkgue record by hitting
safely fa hia 50th successive
game. The former record of 49
was made in 1915 by Jack Ness,
Oakland first baseman.
In 61 gamesL Demaggio hit 104
times in 255 times at bat for an
average of .40p. During the time,
the rangy youth listed 17 doubles,
6 triples, 11 home runs, three sac
rifice hits and stole five bases-

The ambitious program of
the Mid-Willamette Valley
Baseball association which pro
Tided organization whereby
over 300 baseball players of the
territory adjacent to Salem en
gaged in their favorite sport,
will reach its climax within the
next few weeks, for on Sunday
the playoff among the cham
pions of the four divisions will
get under way.
Tho first game of the playoff
will be between Sweet Home and
Stayton on Stayton's diamond.
Pete Schmltz, former Albany Alco
hurler who gave the Salem Sen
ators a tough time last year, and
Jake Meyers, who used the occu
py the mound for the Senators,
will be the opposing pitchers,
Schmitz for Sweet Home and Mey
ers for Stayton, and it may be a
hurler's duel.
' O
The playoff will be- nnder
somewhat of a handicap right
at first because the Northern
Marion county championship
has not been decided; in fact it
looks farther from settlement
than ever, for Hubbard is
threatening to push its way
into the deadlock. Hubbard
dropped Aurora last Sunday
and plays Mt. Angel next Sun
day; if Hubbard wins all three
will be tied; if Mt. Angel wins
it will be all alone on top, but
in any catte, there is still a Mt.
Angel-Aurora game to 'te got
ten out of the way.
So Sweet Home, champion of
the Linn countr circuit: the Sa

. hill county league into which they
were adopted; and Stayton, cham

Federals Game Looms
Up for Sunday

ally strong at bat. Manager 'Bur
ly" Bashor Is strengthening the
defense for the game here Sunday!
against the rampaging Federals of
Portland.
The team average of the play
ers who appeared In last Sunday's

presence of Carl Wood In the
lineup and the return to hitting

brought the necessary wallop at
the plate.
Lowell Gribble, Kenneth Man
ning and Lee Chester continue
batting around the .350 mark. The
leading hitter is Carl Wood, who
has clubbed seven hits in 13 trips
to the plate for a .538 average.
Johnny Beck also appeared In the
role of a slugger Sunday, getting
one for two as did "Squeak" Wil
son before he was replaced.
Johnny Oravec will be back In
left field Sunday, adding speed to
the outfield. Rankin will be kept
in readiness for pinch hitting un
til he gets in better trim for field
ing duties.
The Senators will have a com
plete workout tonight. Several of
the players have practiced field;
ing and hitting since Sunday. Oraf-
vec was out for a complete work
out Monday night and will be in
good condition for Sunday's game.
Colgan has also started working
out again, following a convales
cence with a sprained wrist.
