Trim Papermen 13-2 Master Bread, shut oat by Wait's 10 to 0 last half, rose up for revenge last night and came close to a shutout as the; top pled the popular Butchers from a chance at a three-way tie for first place. Master Bread won 6 to 1 In the biggest npset since the Eagles knocked over Kay's in the final game of the first half. The victory put Master Bread In a tie with Walt's for third place and virtually eliminated the Butchers from any hope of vying for tho city championship. Wait's have one more scheduled game, with the Eagles. Bakers Show Stuff The Bakers played their best game of the season, performing creditably in every department. They took an even dozen blows off Ritchie and bunched most of them. They fielded almost a perfect game with only one bob ble. Bahlburg, comfortably en sconced behind a fonr-rnn leac. from the first inning, put more stuff on the ball than he ever has and heia Wait's to six scattered hits. He was heading for a shutout until Craig doubled in the seventh, took third on a wild pitch and scored on the Bak ers only error of the game. Th6 Master Bread hitlers be gan to pound Ritchie's offerings In the first inning. Kelly, first up, fouled out to the catcher and then Pemberton, and Varley sin gled. Herberger singled to drive in the first score and then Gentz kow bit into one that went deep in center field, for a home run, cleaning the bases. Another hit by Gentzkow and singles by Drynan and Groves netted the final two runs in the third. Wait's sole rally came in the seventh when Craig started it off with his two-bagger. After Craig scored Dunn and Ritchie got on but Filsinger grounded out to nip the rally short. In only two in nings did more than four batters face Bahlburg. Master Bread loaded the bases M ...

Kint f caMni Spkbaak be, Cfeal Biiiu rifha MYSTERIOUS Max Baer, the enigma of the ring, re mains the outstanding puz zle of heavyweight history, and his fistic future is just as hard to figure as his past. Various explanations have been advanced to account for the big bad Baer's pitiful efforts against Brad dock, and none of them seem to be really adequate. That Baer's hands were in bad shape before the fight is true. That he broke either or both of his hands during the fight is not true. Mad cap Max didn't hit Braddock hard enough to dent a balloon, much less break a bone in his own mitt. Caustic Carries on By CAUSTIC Crowds of 2000 at softball games do their bit to swell the treasury of the Salem Softball association. The league has been having the best year of its history and doing a great deal of good in passing oat cheap en tertainment. Spending money to go to a softball game in Salem should be listed as one of the most practical of investments. The money which the Salem Softball association collects from the fans all goes back, indirect ly, to the sport lovers of Salem. At present the project for which the money is being used is to pay off the indebtedness on the Sweet- land field lights. The lights were originally installed by a group of Salem business men in the belief that they would pay for them selves. They didn't do it very well until softball came along. This year should see the end of the payments on the lights. Several other projects have been suggested for the use of the softball money. One of the best is the proposal that the money be used to build a base ball park with adequate grand- Ruth, the Golfer Babe Ruth From ' baseball toT'golf.

XI - : ' :' mini Again, why didn't Max have his hands "frozen" with an opiate be fore the bout? That is what all fighters- with injured hands do, and they are able to punch with the deadened mitts until the opiate wears off, which is tiot till after about 8 or 9 rounds. Once more, it must be said that Baer's hands were in poor condition before nearly all of his other fights, and still he punched hard enough with the damaged maulers to put Schmeling, Camera and Levinsky to sleep. Maxie's clowning tendencies, so much in evidence during the Brad- New project for Softball profits sought; baseball park suggested ; Senators need night workout field. stand facilities where night baseball and softball both could be played. With a lighted and fenced-in ball park Salem could have night baseball perhaps twice a week and softball on the other nights. Baseball at two-bits per head should go over as well as soft ball has and it would probably lead to the development of a real ly good baseball club. One of the reasons why the Senators haven't been produc ing in the stick department this season as well as they must to win games is that most of the players .don't see a baseball from one Sunday to the next. A lighted park would open oppor tunities for practice after busi ness hours as well as for extra games. The 0:30 o'clock games the Senators have played this year with traveling clubs have not gone over so well, partly because of a conflict with soft ball games the same night but mainly because the hour Is In convenient. Birdies Are Duck Soup to NewTitlist BELLINGHAM GOLF CLUB, Beilingham. Wash., July 31.-(-You never heard such wild cheer ing on any course; you never saw such golf. Al Zimmerman, Portland, de feated Nell Christian, Yakima, by six strokes for the Washington state open golf championship, but you should have seen how he did The several hundred lucky spec tators who followed the playoff match probably saw the most thrilling golf ever played at a sin gle hole, when Zimmerman clim axed his victory by seoring a hole in one to beat Christian's birdie two at the 165-yard 14th. Ace Unnerves Nell Zimmerman didn't give Chris tian half a chance in, the 18-hole battle when he also scored an eagle and a couple of birdies for a slMUng 67, four under par. But at that, Neil was only two strokes behind until Zimmerman got his ace, and then he went to pieces, going four strokes over par on the last four holes for a 73. It was the second time Zim merman 5 had triumphed o t e r Christian In a nlavoff tnr a tin- the Portland boy winning the Pa cific northwest open by one stroke in 193 1. ai succeeds his brother, Emery, as the champion. dock fiasco, have been blamed as the cause of his defeat, but Baer always did plenty of clowning in his other battles, and that never pre vented him from unleashing a dead ly rain of lethal leather when the occasion demanded. Fistiania's "human screwball" is admittedly somewhat eccentric and his recent marital escapades have only emphasized this fact. How he could have been crazy enough to toss away the highly valued heavy weight crown without even putting up a semblance of a struggle is something nobody has been able to answer satisfactorily up to now.

'Spec" to Have 30 Men at Start of Bearcat Gridiron Season; Line Losses Worry Thirty men of at least one year's experience will form the nu cleus for the Willamette univer sity football squad which will start practice September 9, Coach "Spec"' Keen revealed yesterday. While "Spec" has begun his summer worrying at the accus tomed time, he is not as concern ed about the backfield, where he will have one important replace ment to make, as about the line which lost Loren Grannis, guard, Karl Weisser and Mike Balkovic, tackles, and Jack Connors, center. Those four provided much of the weight and aggressiveness that made the Bearcat forward wall well night invincible last year. Balkovic will be eligible for non- conference games. "Spec" indicated that Johnnv Oravec, last year's national leader in touchdown scoring, will prob ably get the signal barking berth. Eddie Frantz, last year's quarter back, was the only backfield man to graduate. Dick Weisgerber, Or avec's partner last season as the touchdown twins", will be team ed with Don Mills, who did most of the heavy blocking last year, as halfbacks. Manfred Olson, huge Colorado piledriver, will be in the fullback berth. This is the lineup with which "Spec"' intends to start practice and it will last until something better shows up, he said. Extra Caller Possible Gordon Williams, who was quarterback as a freshman three years ago, has said that he will Set ior British t f Walter Hagea The old master of the fairways, Wajter Hagea, will lead the Ryder Cup team against the British in the international ! matches at Eidgewood, N. J., Sept. 28-29. It will be the Haig'S sixth series. Other members of the team are Sam Parks, Jr., Olin Dutra, Gene Saraxcn, Ky Laffoon, Horton Smith, John Revolts, Craig Wood, Paul Eunyan and JHenry Picard, 1 i'na s At 'Z r ?n UK'- i return to school this year but "Spec" said that his return is not definite. Williams, a good field general and an excellent passer, would probably be in line for the quarterback post should he re turn. Bob Vogt and Darrell New house, both of whom had consid erable experience as reserves last year, are at present the best bets to fill the tackle posts. Bob Mc Kerrow. giant Montana lad. will also be back this year and "Spec" is expecting great things of him. McKerrov: was out last year after two years on the squad. Harold Hoyt, regular guard last year, will fill one of the guard posts while Elliott Becken, Tots Yada and Dwight Patterson, transfer from Southern Oregon Normal, will be the most likely candidates for the other. Center Man Light Bronc Williams, scrappy but light reserve center last year, is at present the only center "Spec" can find on his squad list. Williams weighs only 156 pounds. The flank positions hold no worries for the Bearcat mentor with Bill McAdams, Charles Vers teeg, both regulars last year, George Erickson, Walt Commons and Dan Baptist returning. The complete list of experien ced men includes: Ends Bill McAdam. Charles Versteeg, George Erickson, Dan Baptist and Walt Commons. Tackles Bob Vogt, George Sir nio, Darrell Newhouse, Mike Bal kovic, Bob McKerrow. Guards clliott Becken, Harold Hoyt, Myron Ray, Mel Viken, Tots Yada, Dwight Patterson. Center Bronc Williams.
