The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, August 28, 1935 PAGE EIGHT SokhaMers Wind Up Great Season With Animal Banquet S1JSE1ILL Beavers Maintain Pace by Trouncing Hollywood but Indians Also Threateninp; King and Queen of the Courts WIDER SPREAD E WIS III SMART HUH BE Til FOE By BURNLEY- Year's Profits Estimated At $2800; Sport Values Stressed by Speaker Salem's softballers, over 100 strong, wound up their most suc cessful season at their annual banquet at the Marion hotel last night. - Hilarity was the keynote of the program as numerous feature acts, each drawing a big hand, were presented. The Haywire or chestra, whose looney tunes rcide a hit with the softbaii players at the banquet given them by the Breakfast club sev eral weeks ago, was featured. The banquet closed a season in which Softball profits, including those of the state tournament, were estimated at $2800. It was predicted that Softball will have an even greater growth next year and Harry V. Collins, president of both the city and state asso ciations, said that there would be 30 leagues in the state associa tion next year. Antidote For War Sheldon F. Sackett as princi pal speaker stressed that it is better to play than fight. Run ning over the situation in Edrope where in many countries the roung men are being taught to carry not bats and balls but ri fles and bayonets. He expressed 'he hope that sometime the whole world might be united in international sports. Expressing himself as 100 per cent for softbaii, Sackett gave four reasons why the game had his backing. They were: Because of the excellent exercise it pro Tides, because in it the game's the thing, because it develops a good feeling between the em ployer and employe and because It provides an excellent avoca tional interest. He said that Salem has an op portunity to do for the state in softbaii what it has done for Sa lem. He suggested that team3 from Salem play exhibition games in Oregon towns where softbaii leagues have not yet been form ed and aid in the development of new leagued. Plan Junior League A new plan for Salem soft ball was proposed at the banquet in which two leagues would play regularly under the lights-next year. One would be the regular "big league"; the other a minor league of younger boys of ages from 15 to 17. A committee of Don Upjohn, Dr. L. E.. Barrick, Cliff Parker, Sheldon Sackett and Vernon Gilmore was appointed to Investigate the proposed plan. The city championship trophy was presented to Lome Kitchen, manager .of the championship Pade team, and individual tro phies for each of the players on the team were presented. For outstanding service to softbaii, Dr. L. E. Barrick, veteran play er and one of the original found ers of the league, was presented with a trophy. Jackson Has Tough Night Loses Twice "Bulldog" Jackson, added greatly to his infamous reputa tion with Salem wrestling fans last night at the armory when he threw ring ethics into the gutter, and subsequently was trounced by two opponents In wild eyed slugging free for alls. Jackson was billed to meet Jer ry Marcus, New York Jew, In the main event. The principals ent ered the arena a moment afiead of referee Noel Franklin, and be fore the tardy arbiter arrived, ""Bulldog" smirked across the ring and wrenched the unsuspecting Marcus into a vicious hammer Jock. His arm painfully dislocat ed the easterner was assisted from the ring. After the Grand Avenue ruf fian had swaggered around the roped arena, inflated his chest mnd carried on a bombastic run ning fire of wisecracks with un trympathetic ringsiders, the east vide N. Y. pugilist crawled back Into 'the ring, pleading for a chance- to mop -the Portland ruf fian Bp in a revenge tussle. With his useless arm dangling by his side, Marcus, game to the . finish, was no match tor the hammer-lacking Jackson, but was awarded the match by Franklin, when, the "Bulldog" persisted in his iracouth warfare. Plluso Volunteers While the crowd milled around the exits calling for more blood, . firebrand Ernie Piluso, beaten by Del Kankle in-the opener, volun teered to stalk the "ring with the roughhonse Jackson for one round. ' Sweeping furiously Into action Ernie out-butted, outslug Ced, out-hit, out-scratched, and out-maneuvered, the tuffy king, who repeatedly retreated from the topes, mounted the timers' table and . remonstrated forenslcally with the hissing audience. Piluso crashed the Bulldog into the. ringsiders, causing him to . bleed profusely, , elbow punched him groggy, combatted Jackson's desperate hammer locking assault, ' then aUmmed him breathless to the mat,, and swung hay, maker "nppercuts to drive the remainder of. the resistance out of him for the tumble. Herb Parks, once " Canadian middleweight ehimpioo, out - roughed pugnacious Pug Ryan, black thatched mat terror from : Los Angeles In the special event.

Tops in the world ranking among the male racquet swingers is hand some Fred Perry, John Bull's Davis Cup darling; while the present holder of the No. 1 post in women's tennis is the dark-haired British Sunday school teacher, Miss Dorothy Round. Both of these British court rulers are here competing in the Nationals at Forest Hills; and Perry, at' least, is conceded to be a sure thing to utes for the first fall. Ryan was a stark madman in his fury in the second round, all to no avail when the adroit Canadian after being tossed recklessly about by the hair, put the fug out of com mission with a low projectile butt that left him gasping, grimacing and cold. Del Kunkle, Salt Lake veteran, threw Ernie Piluso of Portland aside when he jockeyed the Port land Italian into two of wrest ling's most painful holds, a Bos ton Crab and an Indian death lock, in the 30 minute prelim inary. Intermediates Divide Second Playoff Round The Ollnger and Leslie inter mediates split the second double header of their championship playoff yesterday, Olinger taking the first game 6 to 1 and Leslie winning the second 6 to 4. Arnold collected a three b a g g t r and Fashing gained seven hits in eight times at bat for platter honors. Battery for Leslie was Lacey and Fashing, Monihan; for Olinger, Kitchen and Wadsworth, Duncan.

LOUIS, Aug. 2 7.-(!p)-World series baseball tickets went on sale here today. Declaring that "it looks like the Cardinals will again win the National league pennant this year," the management of the St. Louis club of the senior major baseball circuit mailed fans a let ter headed "important notice ex plained that by buying a box for the remainder of the home games any fan could assure himself of the same seats for the series. Gastonia Wins ' First Game oi Junior Series GASTONIA, N. C, Aug. 27.-UP) -Lefty Dellinger yielded but five hits and Gastonia's Junior legion baseball team belted out a 10 to 4 victory over Sacramento, Calif., In the first game of the "little world's series' today.

Fred is abso lutely supreme in amateur tennis; and America's hopes, Don Budge, Allison, Shields, Wood and Grant, have only the most forlorn and des perate hopes of stopping the seem ingly unconquerable Briton. On the other hand, Miss Round has not shown to advantage this year, and unless she wins the cur rent title tourney the quiet, retir ing British gal will inevitably drop quite a few notches in the next world tennis ranking. Dorothy was not at her best in the recent Wimbledon event, and was eliminated in three sets by Miss Joan Hartigan of Australia. Her Wimbledon lapse is explained by the fact that she had been over-tennised Caustic Carries on By CAUSTIC Softball had its final day in the glow of the limelamps last night as the boys gathered around the festival board for a bit of horseplay and a bit of seriousness. It was the best year softbaii has had and the boys who made it possible deserved and got glowing (you'd glow too at DO plus) tribute. O The honors were dished out. Pade's got the cup, just as empty as it was last year. "Doc" Barrick got the plaque for being the most ancient of softbaii players and one who has announced his re tirement. Even the sports writers got their little something. Fred Zimmerman and us each got a pencil with a clip so we will not have to burden our ears any more. We were both hoping we'd get patches for our breeches that we wore out this year but we were satisfied with the pencils. Every body got something, including Ray Elliott who got the bird. There was one person who was overlooked, however, and we honestly regret it. Maybe t was taken as a matter of course that everybody recognized the good work done by Gnrnee Flesher as Salem softbaii di rector but we think Gurnee should have had a few words of praise. Gnrnee stepped into Dwight Adams' man-sized shoes this year after -the sea son was well under way and we think he did a fine job of fill ing them. Everything went smoothly and it is oar humble opinion that Mrs. F I e a h e r'a dark eyed lad Gnrnee deserves a lot of credit for it. Well, they say that Inspiration is one half perspiration but that fluid has so showered the old mill while we were dashing off this bit of "class-eye-cal" literature to quote Rufe White, that we'll have to close with our summertime motto: "Out of the drenches by Christmas."

Miss Round's Methodist prin ciples, causing her to refuse to play on Sundays, resulted in a rather unpleasant situation on her last visit here two years ago, when the Forest Hills officials tried to force her to play on a Sunday, not wish ing to hurt the holiday "gate re ceipts." At the time, the hard-stroking Sunday school teacher intimated that she would never compete in the U. S. Nationals again, but it seems that she relented and decided to forgive and forget. Meanwhile she is out to vindicate her current ranking at the top of the women's net world. Copyright, 1135. Klnf Future!

Moving "Larmer Transfer & Storage PHONE 3131 We Also Handle Fa el Oil, Coal and Briquets and High Grade Diesel Oil for Tractor Engines and Oil Burners Revenge For Beating Down South Sole Aim, Says Spartan Tackle We're coming up here forty strong and we don t intend to lose." Those were the parting words of Dee Shehtanlan, hand some Arabian tackle on last year's San Jose state football team which lost to Willamette 21 to 7 last Armistice day and is coming to Salem September 21 loaded for bear. Shehtanian, accompanied by Charles Peach, halfback from San Jose, were chanced upon in a local sweet shop last week by a States man reporter while stoping for re freshments on their way south. The following interview took place: "What are the prospects at Willamette and is Oravec back?" was the first thing Shehtanian wanted to know. When informed that the mater ial looked good in spite of Coach Keene's annual bear stories to the contrary and that the "Scoot er" would be back for one more year to pester his opponents, Dee merely replied that the Bearcats would need more than Oravec in order to defeat the Staters. Razzed AH Year You see," continued Shehtan ian, "we have been razzed by the town folks all year about that beating we took and its kind of got under Coach DeGroot's and our skins although we weren't at our best the day we played Wil lamette. Now do not get me wrong, I am not trying to alibi our defeat or to detract from the fine showing your boys made against us, but we really were in a tough spot that day. "We had a game coming up the following Saturday with Coach Siagg's College of the Pacific team for the conference championship and as the game with Willamette was on the preceding Tuesday it didn't give us much chance to rest in between. Well, the whole thing narrowed down to the point of whether we shoot-the-works with Siagg's men and use our subs against the Bearcats. Dud figured the conference title was more im portant than the Willamette game so he held the vets back. Thought we were too brittle I guess. "Anyway we beat the College of the Pacific 13 to 0 and when you look over their record against Coast Conference teams for last year you can see that there really is something to our story about not being at our best against the boys from your city. "But we wont have to aave any thing when we come up here and we'll promise you this, that it will be one of the best games of the season for either school. My only regret is that I finished last year and wont be able to play in the game up here, but I'm making the trip anyway and don't intend to come this far to see our boys lose." "What kind of stadium do you have and do you draw very big crowds," Charles Peach wanted to know. Hope for Crowd When informed that Willamette had not stadium; that 2500 was a large crowd and that the field was sawdust covered instead of turf, both boys groaned. "Guess we hadn't better tell De- Groot about the sawdust," added Peach. "It will worry him to death. I also hope you have more than 2500 out to see us play as we always play much better before a large crowd." When asked what kind of mat erial San Jose had, Shehtanian replied; '"Best ever, vets back for near ly every post. Stockdale, flashy halfback, who made that nice touchdown run against Willamette still has two more years to play and our frosh team last year was the best we ever had. In fact most of the vets from last year are go ing to have a hard time holding their berths this fall." "Perhaps the best bet coming up is Bill 'Bull' Lewis, 200- pound negro fullback on the yearlings last fall, and if you think Weis- gerber is good wait until you see 'Bull' in action." "Say," interrupted Peach, "did you know that we play Stanford the week following our game up here, and its not going to be any breather for the Indians either If we can stop Hamilton we have a good chance of winning. Gray son don't worry us so much. The hour being late and both boys being Jired from traveling the interview was brought to close, with Shehtanian expressing regret at not being able to see LDoh Mills and Dick Weisberger "Swell fellows," said Deeil"also the rest of the players, and F know the people of Salem are going to see a nice game when we meet September 21st".
