of large "breaks' to do it . '
- The Salem boys scored all their
runs Uutbe first"! n n i n g when
' Foreman drew air walk, and then
Keber, Mellne and Oravec singled.
- Those three runs loo k e d like
' enough as the teams settled down,

ed a run in the fifth and another
-. in the sixth, and nothing but great
support pulled Henry: Singer out
a of several tight holes after that ,

' came-' when Keber dropped a fly
ball and R. Hatton went around

. Parks fourth hit, to tie the game
up." Keber partly .redeemed blm--,'self
by throwing Sullivan, out at

In the tenth "Scotty" Marr.of

he was robbed. He hit a hard drive

ONNIE MACK, dean of ma
jor league managers, is faced
with a rather awkward situ
ation in Philadelphia. His Athlet
ics have not been going so wen, out
that isn't the main difficulty. Those
Sunday blue laws that they have in
the Quaker City are the. cause of
Connie's headaches.
Unable to play any Sunday
games at home, the Athletics lose
heavily in gate receipts. Week day
ball games bring uniformly small
box office returns, and baseball mag
nates depend heavily on the Sunday
crowds for the necessary financial
support.
The Athletics have several hieh-
salaried stars, such as Grtfve, Earn-
right hander of the A's hurling
staff, Earnshaw has hung up. his
glove and spikes, disclosing today
that Manager Connie Mack had
retired him, for the remainder ot
this season.
The action climaxed a rift be
tween Earnshaw and the veteran
manager which had its inception
last winter when. news dispatches
reported the . hurler . picked . . tho
New York Yankees to repeat in
the American : league race this
season ' in a walk.
Earnshaw had been sent home
twice from the road during the
campaign this year. Once from
Detroit with the .order to "get in
condition"; the second time from
New .York with a fine and sus
pension. , :'i "

shaw. Foxx and Cochrane, but if
the club fails to make a substantial
profit during the season, it doesnt
require, any Einstein to come to the
conclusion that they can't afford to
pay high salaries.
- So there have been rumors that
Connie will be forced to sell several
of his famous stars at the end of
the . present season, in order that
the club may break even financially.
Last year, as you will recall,
Mack was forced to sell the gTeat
Simmons, alone with Dykes and
Haas, to the Chicago White Sox.
Connie was unable to ' carry the
heavy financial burden of Sim
mons s $33,333 a year salary, so he
was forced to out the clouting Pole
Howdy, folks! We're back.
Oh, yon didn't notice we were ,
gone? Now we ask yon, is that
nice? Anyway we've been on
week's vacation and while
we didnt flit very far away, '
one of the places we did man
age, to visit waa Neskowin and
the new golf course down there,
which was Initiated by a large
crowd predominantly from Sa
lem a few weeks ago. '
From the descriptions by those
who went there on. that occasion.
we had gathered that it was quite
snappy little layout, but were
hardly prepared for all that we
found. When you consider, that
the whole thing was a swamp lust
a few. years ago, and. that no. move
toward turning it into a golf
course- was made until last tall,"
it's all the more remarkable,' for
.the : greens are: already : In good
shape and so are most of the fair
ways. One fairway has not been
planted to grass but Is playable
under "winter" rules. The aprons
aroundthe "greens are not yet 'In
the best-of condition, which. is &
handicap, especially to those golf
ers who "-; go . in . extensively, for
pitch and roll approaches.
Coming now po consider-
tlon of the coarse Itself, there
'are several Items that hit "yoa
".right In the eye. Tne nrst one ,
: uowerer Jilts yoa In the feet.
-.This coarse has the most re
markable footing and tho ex
" pianatlon Is In its peat bog orw
" gin. Too set your foot on It
and the' blamed ; thing . bounces
. right .back Vat; you; it's abowt ;
; the. springiest . turf we ever
trod; our heels came bouncing
sp In that snappy drum corps;
at fie. That course will certain
ly be godsend to golfers with
'sore feet. : -
- Glancing out over. the coarse,
yon decide it's just an open mea
dow with no hazards to speak of,
and immediately conclude that
youll break your personal record
for a nine-bole score. snd then go
where the golfing is tougher. So
yon go aroind and add uo and
find, that thj count is no slimmer
than usuaL -So you tackle; it again
and maybe do a, little better, but
stai yon , aren't satisfied ; Thers
are some - concealed ' ditches and
two or three dog-legs; , nothing t
impress you much as you go a'ong
but there's always something, ex
cept per hap j on the second hole.

on the auction block, even though
he knew that this was dooming the
Athletics' pennant chances.
The Mackmen haven't felt the
loss of Dykes and Haas so much, as
young Pinkey Higgins has coma
through magnificently at third base,
and several f Mack's young out
fielders have made good. But the
loss of Simmons was irreparable.
All signs point to the repeal of
the Sunday blue laws in .Philadel
phia next Winter, but even if this
does come to pass, Mack may still
be forced to sell Grove or Foxx ox
some other star in order to recoup
the club's heavy financial losses ol
the current season.

The piece de resistance is the
seventh hole, a par three pitch

rather a strenuous climb which is
immediately forgotten - when - you

the rest - or the interesting sur-
