Hop Gold club the Salem Sena tpr will clash with the Vancoa- Ter brewers for the third rtime on "Oltnger field at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. For the Senators, the leadership of the league, How held by a mere half game margin, will be at stake. Hop Gold is hoping to use Salem, so far this season beld In subjection, as a stepping stone -In regaining its lost lead. Hitting has .been the downfall ; of the Senators" in its two previous clashes with the Brooksmen, who Jumped on Senator hurlers In both games.' Ia recent games, however, the stickwork of the Senators as well as fielding and pitching has shown a decided upswing. Wilson Will Hurl - The Senators will depend upon Delmer "Squeak" Wilson,- left handed hurler, who blanked To ledo last Sunday with a two-hit performance. It the tall mounds man pitches in the same winning fashion that has made him the Senators number one hurler. the Hop Goldj should have a more difficult time getting base hits today. In both the other games Johnny Beck rtarted. In the first game, which the Senators lost 5 to 1, the Brewers bunched their blows off Beck in two innings. In the second game they batted Beck from the box in the second after he had given up five blows, in cluding a doable and a home ran, for a four-run lead. Wilson, who replaced Beck in the second, held the Hop Golds to one run for the rest of the game, striking out eight batters." The Hop V Golds : have been pounding the ball all season. They . hit Eugene mercilessly last week for a 10 to 2iTictory. With the famed University of Oregon second-short combination of Ray Koch and Joe Gordon in the in field, their fielding 'a also "tops. Pitcher Also Hits "Red Miller, husky carrot top who throws for the brewers, has been pitching winning ball all season and helps himself out with timely hitting. He got a home run against Eugene last Sunday. The second place Albany club entertains Eugene. Ault, Alco- Oak hurler. has been going great guns lately and last Sunday - blanked Bend 3 to 0. Avictory for Albany, Jn the event Hop Gold makes it three straight over Sa lem, would give the : Alco-Oaks the lead.

That the British really have cause for a little plain and fancy "view ing with alarm" can be seen by the fact that their doubles combination of G. P. Hughes and C P. D. Tuckey were eliminated by Allison and Van Ryn at Wimbledon, and can hardly be counted on for victory in the cup matches.. -;f ' Austin ,; met his .Wimbledon Waterloo at the hands of young Donald Budye, who .trounced the celebrated Britisher with the great est of ease in four sets. Bunny ap pears to have lost the stamina nec essary to carry on to victory in gruelling tournament play, but he is a great "money" player and may rise to the occasion in the challenge round matches, as he will not be forced to play through a whole tournament, but instead will be able to point for this particular game. ' Austin's stylish stroking appears to have deteriorated, judging from his play at Wimbledon, and it may be that the veteran British cup star has definitely hit the downward trail. If the bounding Bunny has really lost his old bounce, then it seems as if the old Davis cup and saucer may really be lost to John Bull after all these years. Of course, the peerless Fred Perry will win his two singles duels, but two out of five matches is not enough to keep the cup. The issue is really squarely up to the redoubt able Austin, and it is very likely that he will flash enough of his old tennis magic to eke out one victory and save the day for the British. , Caerrlsbt. lll.Xiac tmUam frwUoU.
