Gilmore Starts Rally In
Seventh, Gives Grocers
4 to 0 Victory
Circus Fielding and Double
Plays as Well as 3-Hit
Hurling Job Are Fatal to
Parker Chances
By PAUL HAUSER
Strategy and a slam-bung hit
ting punch that came -when it
was most needed won last night
as Pade's, state champions, shut
out Parker's 4 to 0 for th sec
ond half championship and t h e
right to play Kay Mill, first half
titlist, in the city championship
series next week.
Before a crowd lhat approached
the largest that has ever seen any
event on Sweetland field the state
champions exhibited a cool, fast
thinking game that left no doubt
that they still are a team fit to
wear championship robes. Over
3500 fans were jammed into the
grandstand and bleachers on two
sides of the field and parked
cars were lined up for blocks on
every street near the Willamette
campus. The south side bleach
ers, hardly used previous to to
night, were crammed chock full.
All Scores Come In
Eventful Seventh
Parker's best scoring chances
were cut off by double plays and
always the well-timed Pade in
field worked wjth the smoothness
of precision machinery.
AH of Pade's scoring was done
in one inning, the fateful seventh.
Whether Vera Gilmore, who
pitched three-hit shutout ball,
worked the smartest trick Salem
Softball has seen to provide the
winning score or whether it was
Just a boner that worked into
ace high strategy may never be
known, but what he did was cer
tainly effective.
With one down in the seventh
Schnuelle rapped out a single and
lumbered to first base. Gilmore
sent a grounder to Paul Keber,
Parker shortstop, whose throw
was true as a die but Parrlsh at
first let his eye get off the ball
and dropped it. Gilmore- was on
and Schnuelle, running as he nev
er ran before, was on third.
Violates Rules by ,
Pilfering Second
Then with Kitchen at bat Gil
more pulled the trick that will be
written in Salem's softball his
tory. With a fine disregard for
the softball rules he stole second,
base larceny being strictly for
bidden. A throw to first would
have put him out as would a throw
to second but Schnuelle was lead
ing off third in tantalizing fash
ion. If the play was made for
Gilmore Schnuelle could legally
score. Lu Singer elected to try to
catch Schnuelle off-third but his
throw was hig:h and Schnuelle
came pounding home for the run
that did no good for Parker mor
ale. , The rest came easy. Kitchen
blasted out a single to center field
and Gilmore, who had come back
to first where he belonged when
Schnuelle went home, raced to
second again. Foreman fanned.
It was smart baseball for Henry
Singer to walk George Scales and
load the bases, paving the way for
a force-out, but it didn't work.
Johnny Bone lit on one of the
high ones he loves and sent it into
left field for a hit that scored
Pade's remaining three runs, wip
ing the bases clean. Bone died
on third when Hill filed out.
Spectacular Plays
Abound in Contest
Sweet ball playing in the pin
ches on both sides kept the score
board clean until the seventh. In
the fisst Parker's got Elliott to
third but Weisner struck out.

The charge on which they were

Smith suggested Thursday

Labor Relations Board For
Protection of Union Men
Needed Says Green
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 9
-")-Speedy appointment of the
new national labor relations
board was urged by the American
Federation of Labor's executive
council tonight in a message to
Secretary Perkins.
President William Green cited
a telegram from the federated
trades council of Milwaukee,
Wis., complaining that union
men, discriminated against in vi
olation of the Wagner labor dis
putes act, would get "no relief
because machinery for enforce
ment of the act had not been set
up.
J. W. Williams, president of
the federation's building trades
department, however, blamed the
work relief strikes on the "brain
trust" in Washington.. Mr. Roose
velt wag "misled by advice he re
ceived from the brain trust."
Williams said, when he sent word
to congress to turn down the
federation's plea to have prevail
ing local wages paid to skilled
craftsmen on all relief projects.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-UP)-
Amid a rising storm ot labor
protests, President Roosevelt to
day backed up warnings by Hugh
S. Johnson and Harry L. Hopkins
that those refusing to accept "se
curity" wages on work relief
projects will receive no other
federal help.
Using language almost identi
cal to that employed by Hopkins
yesterday, the president said at
a press conference that he had
not heard of any reports he in
tended to raise wages for skilled
workmen in metropolitan areas.
He apparently . referred to
PWA projects which are except
ed from the $19 to $94 monthly
scale.

police in a fog of mystery as they
sought the solution of the deaths
of George C. Cates, 59, and his
wife, Irene, also 59, whose bodies
were dragged from their smoke
filled house before dawn today.
On Mrs. Cates' head was a
wound which probably caused her
death and which might have been
inflicted by a poker found nearby.
Coroner E. H. Rider said Cates'
body bore no wound but that he
suffered from dilation of the heart
and qjay possibly have suffocated
in the smoke.
A roll-top desk had been ran
sacked, a lock pried loose, and
an attempt had been made to burn
records of two lodges of which
Cates was secretary. Three fires
had been started in the residence.
One was upstairs, another was in
the kitchen and the third in the
living room.
Police at first believed a prow
ler had robbed the house and
murdered the two. An investiga
tion, however, disclosed sums of
money and several valuable ob
jects in plain sight of any intru
der.

In discussing the application
