Other Tilts Hot ?- Pade'B, Salem's entry In the state Boftball tournament and championship defender, -will get its first taste of this year's play off tonight when it meets the stronx McMinnville team in the leadoff game at 8 o'clock. Strengthened by the addition of four of the best players in the Salem league, the state champions are hoping again to fight their way Into the finals of the big play off. The four players drafted to Fade colors are Marvin Ritchie, who will assume part of the pitching burden and may start in tonight's game: Ray Elliott, Low ell Grlbble and Dr. L. E. Bar rick. The Pade-McMinnville tilt will be the initial contest on the pro gram which includes three games expected to be among the tightest in the tournament. Portlanders Play -i The second contest will be a clash between the M & M Wood workers of Portland, and Toledo at 9 o'clock , and the final game will see Corvallis pitted against Lebanon at 10 o'clock. - Although an all-star McMinn ville team was defeated by Master Bread here earlier in the season the McMinnville aggregation, managed by Andy Peterson, is ex pected to give the state champions a real battle. Included on the lineup of the team from the nut city are several former and pres ent college athletic stars. Pade's, fearful of an upset, has adopted a "play one game at a time" policy and will be putting forth Its best against the McMinn ville stars. The Toledo team, which ad vance notices have hailed as be ing the strongest the coast city has ever turned out, will be out to revenge a 10 to 0 shutout it suffered at the hands of the M & M team last year. Mickey Berlant, considered one of the 'best Softball hurlers in the state, will be on the mound for the Woodworkers. The M & M team was defeated last week by Rotary bread in a 12 inning thril ler for the Portland city champ ionship. It is practically the same team as last year when it wa3 eliminated by Eugene 5 to 4 in its second game. Mount Duel Looms The Corvallis-Lebanon contest may develop into a pitchers' duel between Young Lee, Corvallis speedy Chinese hurler, anjl S e 1 Larsen, Lebanon moundsman. Lee has a spectacular pitching record of allowing an average of only four hits per game in 1? games while Larsen has averaged seven strikeouts per game. This game might well be bill ed as a collegiate clash for nearly every member of both teams is a former college athlete. Included on the Corvallis roster is Norman "Red" Franklin, Oregon -State's great All-American halfback. Dave Strltmater and Bill Robbins, prominent sport officials, both play for Lebanon. Stritmater was an all-state outfielder last year. With the conclusion of tonight's clashes the first round of the tourney will be virtually finished. Oregon City and Albany, each o which drew a bye, will play their first games on Wednesday night. SPECULATOR. X. Y., Aug. 19. (P)-The forgotten man of pugi lism. Max Baer, has been found again, but you'd scarcely recog nize him. He's roaming the hills where Gene Tunney, who never was un prepared, practiced running back ward for that night in Chicago when he had to retreat faster .than Jack Dempsey could move forward, or get himself annihil ated. He's swinging an axe in the -forests that cover the Adiron dacks. crowding down on his mountain cabin. He rows daily over the same lake Tunney pulled a pair of oars and planned his fighting strategy. He squeezes hard rubber balls in his hands all day long to strengthen them, as Tunney did. It's difficult to believe, unless you see it, but Max Baer at the moment is as serious about his profession as Gene Tunney, the most serious of all the heavy welxhts, ever was. He has hit the. come-back trail with a vengance Wine Barons of Portland Take Silverton 12-2 SILVERTON, Aug. 19 The Wine Barons of Portland took the Silverton All-Stars for a ride of 12 to 2 In a fast softball game Sunday afternoon. - , , Lineups: All-Stars Wine Barons --4goer-. n If Kelner Scalata cf,.-. - Greene Hatteberg .2b ...JArighl Houlihan as Scholph Stayner w p Allord Petit vf Garvarino Epecht ii. lb- Berardinelll Canoy " - - - ' Roberts 8 -Ajoml 3b llarndla WHERE HUEf DIB Preparing for W!iyjPJJW''JW W V.W.W.VtmK I ... ii uwnni m -vw - - l1MMaMMMMMMMMiai . y i x -,: s ' .

A carload of wild horses is being brought here for the show. Caustic Carries on By CAUSTIC Astoria's softball team, which made softball officials tear out hair by handfuls last year when it arrived late, was the first team to show up in Salem yesterday. Officials sigh ed with relief and checked an other worry off the list. How ever it wasn't the early bird that got the worm and Astoria rated a quick trip home. As toria's history in the state soft ball tournament is as woeful as its record in the state basket ball tournament is triumphant. Last year Astoria was beaten by what is technically termed a gawshawful score. Lew Singer, whose rapid de livery had the Astoria boys baf fled is not Salem's Lu Singer. Singer received a few warnings on his pitching style which ap proached the illegal. . . . The fans got a laugh when F. Foster, pinch hitting for Astoria, appeared at the plate in golf knickers and took a cut like a golf swing. Hank Helser, Rotary Bread's fiery pitcher and outfielder, is still "junior" to the Portland fans. . . . Programs are always wrong which is probably why the very prosaic battery of Smith and Brown, listed in the official program for Rotary Bread, did not show. . . . Mil waukie and Mt. Angel may not have large populations but their production of ace high softball players must be above the aver age. Maybe the mayor gives a medal to every mother who has a family of ten (nine players and an extra pitcher.) Joe Formick, perennial fan who adds much color to the game by his humorous comments, was at LESLIE INCREASES LEI Leslie playg'round's hard-hit ting softball nine increased its lead over the Olinger club in the playground league yesterday by taking a double header on the Leslie diamond. 12 to 2 and 14 to 7. Stockwell held Olinger to four hits in the first game and was the batting hero of the Leslie team with four hits in four trips to the platter. The second game was a wild contest with 30 hits and 14 er rors. Hunt and Cave each hit four times but Hunt made every one of the Leslie errors.

Y., Aug. 19.-(;P)-Bushy Graham, Utica, for years a contender for the bantamweight title, staged a comeback tonight, scoring a technical knockout in two rounds over Tommy Howells, Buffalo. Howells was floored five times in the second round before Referee Marks stopped the action. Francis Albertantl, Jim Brad dock's new "public relations coun sel," was the originator of the term "Toy Bulldog" for Mickey Walker, 12 years ago in a fight at Newark, N. J. The Problem of Parker By BURNLEY out for the Davis Cup team this Sar, prexemng to concentrate on a studies until time to point for the national championships. The sunburned master of the backhand needs only a fairly profi cient forehand to rank with the greatest netrnen of the day, and Beasley says he will give Frankie that much-needed weapon or bust in the attempt To be exact, Parker's mentor says that he will give up coaching if be doesnt succeed in making the former Milwaukee ball boy's forehand as good as his flaw less backhand. If Mercer the Master Mind makes good his boast, Parker will be the man to bring back the polished cup and saucer to these shores. The ROTARY U FIRST WINNER Pounds Out 21-0 Victory in Seven Innings; Astoria Victim of Experts Behind the speedy two-hit pitching of Lew Singer, Rotary Bread, Portland city champion, swept over the Astoria entry 21 to 0 in the initial game of the state softball tournament last night. Opening with a three-run splurge in the initial Inning the hard hitting Portland team scor ed at will until the game was called at the end of the seventh inning. The curly headed Portland hurler, drafted from the Gevurta Pelicans, held the Finps hand cuffed throughout the' contest, striking out ten batters. After the initial splurge, the Portland batters were held score less for two innings and then opened up in the fourth to de liver one of the most severe lam bastings of tournament history. Eight runs were scored in the fourth, five more in the fifth, three in the sixth and two in the seventh. Hank Helser, who pitch ed the final inning, was the bat ting hero with four for five. Sholkoff, third baseman, collect ed two doubles in the same in ning. Rotary Bread will meet Mil waukie at 8 o'clock Wednesday. Rotary Bread 21 18 2 Astoria 0 2 7 Singer, H.

End Playground Activities Here On September 7 The organized play programs at Salem's two public recreation centers Olinger and Leslie fields, will close September 7, it was decided yesterday at a conference of workers headed by Vernon Gil more, superintendent bf recrea tion. The two swimming pools, how ever, may be kept open until Sep tember 14 if the demand is suf ficient to justify their operation the extra week. The pools' clos ing may depend on the availabil ity of SERA-paid assistants. scintillating schoolboy phenom has a faultless game, his only weakness being that below-par forehand, which, unless corrected, may for ever tar his way to championship heights. A demon statistician kept tabs on Parker's forehand shots in a recent Eastern tournament, and the re- suits of his charts showed that less than 15 per cent of his drives were first-class forehands an amazingly poor showing for the player who ranks fourth on the national list. However, the youngster's one poor stroke showed much improve ment in subsequent tourneys, so he may spring a surprise in the coming nationals. CvpifM, Jtll.
