IClose of Season; New ?
: Schedule Made Up
Championship of the first halt
of the State league season and
the right to enter a playoff at
the- close of the season against
the second half winner for the
loop pennant, will be- the - prise
the Salem Senators and Toledo
Lions will be fighting for when
they meet on OUnger field at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon.
j The two clubs, one of their ear
ly games postponed, ended the
first half tied for first place, each
with four victories and one de
feat. While other State league
clubs are idle Toledo and Salem
will fight It out in today's "cru
cial" contest.
The game Is expected to be one
of the best at OUnger field this
season as both clubs hare received
excellent conditioning and prac
tice in the semi-pro tournament
lit Portland in which both reached
the semi-finals.
In State league competition
this season Salem's one loss was
to Hop Gold, a club that appar
ently has the Senators Jinxed,
while Toledo lost out to Bend.
Hurler Not Selected
Manager "Frisco" Edwards
will bank on either Bill Barnes,
young Senator hurler who was
signed yesterday by the New York
Yankee organization, or Del Wil
son, southpaw whose record this
year in both starting and relief
roles has been exceptional. ,
! Ted Pillette, mainstay ot the
Toledo hurling staff and a former
Coast leaguer, will probably bo
Toledo's choice, for the starting
job. Pillette turned in a three
hitter in beating Hop Gold last
week.
i Both clubs are snappy fielding
outfits. The Senators have also
shown -an improvement in hitting
strength in late games.
Schedule Revised
A new schedule, made neces
sary by the withdrawal of Albany
from the league, was released yes
terday by Ray Brooks, Portland,
league secretary. Salem will open
against Hop Gold in a game that
promises to be. a blood feud.
The revised schedule:
July 26 Toledo at Bend, Hop
Gold at Salem, Eugene at Wood
burn. 1 August 2 Salem at Toledo,
Hop Gold at Eugene, Bend at
Weodburn.
August S Hop Gold at Toledo,

With a dog fight for first place
honors between at least four
teams promised, the second ' half
of the Softball season will get
under way Monday night and the
fireworks will begin immediately.
The first big package of tor
pedoes and bangcrackers la ex
pected in Monday's second game.
In that contest the Paper Mill,
confident that Its star Is on the
ascendant, will meet Atwater
Kent, first half champion. Paper
Mill finished second in the first
half, its only loss being to Atwater-Kent
in the first game of
the season.
Not only the Paper Mill ,wni
be shooting at Atwater-Kent, how
ever. Every club in the league la
eager to hand defeat to the first
halt champions Just as the radio
men handed a loss to every other
club In the league during : the
first session.
Shorter Pitching ; ; 4
Distance Is Factor ' ,
Whether they will be able to
do" it or not rests on ' whether
Atwater-Kent can maintain the
balance that made it the best
fielding club of the first half,
whether Henry Singer retains his
top-notch effectiveness : at the
shorter pitching distance ' and
whether that same distance will
aid other pitchers in holding down
the radiomen. ;
Softball wiseacres contend that
the shorter distance will bring
back at least two of last season's
pitching leaders, Marr 'Ritchie of
Wait's and Tern Gilmore of Man's
Shop. Both are backed by. poten
tially powerful clubs. Figured at
the start as 'potential champions
both clubs failed to live np to
prediction and . reputation in the
first half. If they come back they
will be powerful contenders.
If the no-hit pitching done by
George Roth, Paper Mill hurler,
Friday night Is a sample of what
the 37 feet, 8 inch, pitching dis
tance does fans can axpect fewer
hits, fewer errors and more strike
outs in most second half games.
When a pitcher strikes out IS
men the chances for errors de
crease in proportion.
Some Swapping of
Players Reported
There was. a minor flurry , of
swapping over the weekend. A
rumor that the Eagles would
trade : their lusty swatting out
fielder. Jack Causey, to the Paper
Mill for Pitcher Leon Mickenham
was spiked when Mickenham
came back - into the Paper ; Mill
roia. The paper Mill, signed up.
two outfielders, John Oravee and
BUI Haskins. Has kins started the
season with Master Bread.
Master . Bread gained a ""first
baseman. Bill Moye, who obtained
his release from Hogg Bros. 1
Master Bread was the heaviest
hitting club in the first half, ac
cording to statistics compiled by
Dr. R. D. Blatchford, league
scorer and statistician. The bakers
hit at a 3.11 clip but couldn't
finish ' any better than in a tie
with two-others for fourth place.

that fashion. J:
