Punch; Previous Games
Recalled by Solons ;
By 'JAMES NUTTER
The Salem Senators will seek
revenge in their final home game
of the season against the Eugene
baseball team this afternoon at
2:30 o'clock.
, Twice this season the Townles
have rallied late In the game to
win from the Senators.
With heavy - hitting Cotter
Gould and Del Russell back in
the lineup, the Townles will be
stronger than when Salem played
them last In Eugene. However,
the return of Johnny Oravee and
the presence of Johnny Beck has
also strengthened the Solons.
Manager Frank "Burly" Bashor
will not announce the starting
pitcher until game time. If John
ny Beck's arm is in good condi
tion he may get the starting call
again today. Beck pitched a good
game last Sunday in winning from
the heavy hitting Schapp's team.
However, "Squeak" Wilson is
anxious to share In the revenge
and may start on the slab. He was
In fine form Thursday night
against the Colored House of Da
vid team, literally smoking them
past the traveling players.
"Bob" Wiltshire," who takes his
wins and losses seriously, will
start on the mound for Eugene.
The e peed ball he rifles across Is
reminiscent of Andy Peterson's
fast, high one, and Wiltshire also
has a nice sharp-breaking curve
ball.
Dick Bishop, one of the league's
heaviest hitters, will catch for
Eugene. Here before he got five
hits in as many trips to the plate.
Lanky Don Husband with a reach
like an ape will be on first, and
either Manager Billy Rinehart or
Dunn on second. Rinehart occa
sionally goes in as a pinch hitter,
and It batting an even .500.
Chuck Wirth, whose base run
ning has been a scourge to op
posing teams all season, will be
on short. His great defensive
game has been a feature of the
Townles play.
Either -Van Duyn or Russell
will be on third base, with the
other in the outfield. Van Duyn
is batting .432 and Russell .368.
Cotter Gould and Greene, both
heavy hitters, will probably be in
the outrield.
Last Sunday Bend made it two
out of three over the Townles,
eliminating them from the cham
pionship race. However, Eugene
out bit the Elk3 in that game.
More to Catch for Salem
Blll.Moye, ambitious, hustling
catcher, will be Salem's receiver.
Manning on first, Oravee on sec
ond, Mason on short and Gribble
on third cmoplete the field.
George Scales, Harold Colgan
and Archie Rankin will patrol the
outer gardens. Pemberton will
noTbe here today but will be with
the team next week for the three
game series at Coquille.
September 10 the Senators will
go to Silrerton to satisfy the fans
there who have been clamoring
fiv m vama TTranlr TtnRh-
or announces he will start one of
his first string pitchers in the
scheduled Silverton game.

LOUR years azo. when BM Mc-
Kechnie was taken into the
cellar of the National Leaeue
and handed the job of managing the
jooston uraves, who were down
there in their favorite haunt, he
said that it would take him four
J ears to dust off the cobwebs and
ring the Tribe up to the sun.
The four years are up now, and
where are the Bravest . Well, Bill
McKechnie has done the trick, just
as he said -he would. The Braves
probably will finish in the first divi
sion of the league -this. year. -
It has been tough going, and cer
tainly most of the fans doubted that
Bill could keep his; word. But,, now
(hat the Braves' are on the warpath
with some real fighting; spirit, they

Braves On Warpath
By BURNLEY-
MAMAGER. OF THE
tr.fciMi. tas. Cw tnM imi lit
Town, and it Is pretty certain that
McKechnie's contract will be re
newed, come winter.
.The improvement of the Braves
and next to the Giants they are
the most, improved team ex the
league this season rests on a num
ber of points. The pitching staff of
Cantwell,' Frankhouse and Brandt,
plus the veterans Zachary, Betto
and Mangum, has been one of the
great helps to the Braves per
formances. , '
Then .Randy Moore, the handy
man, blossomed forth to have his
best season, and has added a punch
to the playing that was sadly seed
ed. Another wallop was added by
Wally Berger, who has been leading
the league in production of home
runs.
Al! of Triple-Main Calibre,
Promised; Reed, Lyness
To Tangle. Again
- . s
A treat In the form ot a triple
main event is promised Salem
mat fans at the Salem Boxing and
Wrestling commission's armory
show Tuesday night. The single
one-hour and pair ot two-hoar
events will offer variety both in
styles ot mat performance and in
weights, according to Onas Olson,
commission chairman. Weights
will Include welter, middle and
heavy.'
Opening the show at 8:30 p.m..
Les Wolfe, 185, ot Tulsa, Okla.,
will match grips with Walter
Sirols. 190, ot Santiago, in a
two-hour contest. Little is def
initely known about either
wrestler but both come well re
commended, Olson says. Heavy
weight wrestling offers a change
in the menu here. '
Bob Myers, 165-pound Tilla
mook tussler, who has challenged
all middlewelghts and so far has
found such possible opponents
shy of meeting him, will go above
his class somewhat tor a two
hour battle with Sergeant Chet
Wiles, 172, Portland's wrestling
policeman. Myers is said to be
the type of mat man who dis
cards the spectacular frills of the
game and gets down to real
wrestling holds, Olson avers.
The one-hour match, which
may end the show or be sand
wiched between the longer
events, will bring Robin Reed,
148, of Reedsport, and Ray Ly
ness, 153, of Vancouver, Wash.,
back together again with Reed
harboring a mat grudge for his
defeat at Lyness' hands the last
time they met here.
The three matches will make
as near to a triple main event
as is possible to obtain, accord
ing to Olson. Verne Harrington
will be referee unless he is called
away Tuesday.
Pade's to Play at
Corvallis Tuesday
Pade's kithall squad will go to
Corvallis Tuesday night to com
pete with one ot the leading soft
ball teams there, probably M. M.
Long's, on the lower campus of
the state college. Later In the
week it is planned to stage a re
turn daylight game with Corval
lis on Sweetland field here.
BOSTON BRAVES
As a defensive team there is none
better in the league, thanks to the
tightly-knit crew of Jordan, Maran
ville, Urbanski and Whitney, in the
infield, and Moore, Berger and Lee
in the garden, with Hogan behind
the plate.
And speaking of Maranvflle, the
spirit and fire of the old Rabbit has
had a lot to-do with the revived
Braves. He is the man from whom
they draw their fighting verve
truly the tack on the Boston bench
that routs them up when they start
sliding. , - . v..
McKechnie deserves aQ the credit
and praise the fans ean give him
for yanking; the Braves out of the
dim recesses of -the baseball depths.'
He has done a swell job. - -.

Helen Wilis Moody Loses
Crown Held for Seven
Years; Fears Collapse
By ALAN GOULD
.Associated Press Sports Editor.
FOREST HILLS, N. J., Aug.
26 (AP) Unbeaten and rarely
even challenged for seven previ
ous years, the great Helen Wills
Moody yielded today to the stur
dy rush of her California rival,
Helen Jacobs, and growing phy
sical distress by defaulting in the
third set of their final match for
the women's tennis championship
of the United States.
Facing apparently certain de
feat for the first time since 1926
in singles competition and on the
verg eof collapse, the result of
wearing a back brace that trou
bled her right hip and leg, Mrs.
Moody defaulted to Miss Jacobs
after losin gthe first three games
of the final set. The scores of a
match that was hard-fought and
often brilliant, for two sets were
8-6, 3-6, 3-0, default.
The finish was a dramatic dis
appointment to the gallery of
7000 excited spectators; never
theless they accorded an ovation
to Miss Jacobs, who rose to her
greatest heights by outplaying
Mrs. Moody for the first time in
her career and capturing the na
tional championship for the sec
ond successive year. They had
met seven previous times in
championship and this was the
first occasion on whieh Miss Ja
cobs won a single set.
Mrs. Moody also withdrew
from the doubles final, in which
she was paired with Elizabeth
Ryan, thereby bringing to an un
paralleled conclusion a national
tournament :jat was delayed ex
actly a week by rain in reach
ing its sensational finale.
This automatically- gave the
doubles championship to the
dashing British pair, Betty Nut-
nau and Freda James.
Mrs. Moody was at first de
termined to come back and try to
play in the doubles, but after a
naif hour's rest In the West Side
club house, she decided against
further competition and wrote
tne ioiiowing statement:
"In the third set of mv singles
match I felt as It I were going
10 rami, because of the pain in
my. back and hip and a complete
numbness of mv riaht lesr.
"The match was long and br
aeiaumng I do not wish to de
tract from the excellent nt MUs
Jacobs' play.
"1 feel 'that I have snoHed tb
finish ot the national channton.
ship, and wish that I had follow
ed the advice of my doctor and
reiurnea io California.- -:
"I still feel that r did rfffti n
withdrawing because I felt that I
was on tne verge of a collapse
on the course." '
Monday night at Sweetland
field the opening games of the
state kitball tournament will be
held. At 8 o'clock Parkers. Salem
champions, will, meet the Eugene
Knights of Columbus. Following
this game the B.. P. Johns team
ot Portland will play Oregon City
vets ot Foreign Wars players.
The' second game will bet under
way at 9:15. - o
Wednesday night, at 8:15 the
winners of the previous night will
cross bats in the finals. .
Kitball has created a great deal
of Interest- here this summer,
with Its night playing under the
blc are lights, and the Interest is
expected to carry through' for
these final games.
