PAGE SEVEN Softball League is Limited to Six Teams in The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, June 9, 1937 Final LDecision 0 Triple-Header Idea Rejected Summer League Will Open Play on Monday Night; Old Clubs Remain Hopes of the softball team spon sored by the Quelle of being in cluded In the summer softball lea gue were stifled last night when a seven team league proposal put up by Quelle representatives was vetoed by team representatives and officers of the Salem Soft ball association. The Quelle proposal would have made a triple-header on Friday nights necessary to make out a complete schedule. It was the idea of starting the last game at 10:30 or later which was disliked by the league. The six teams which will open the summer softball season Mon day are all veterans of last year's league. The Quelle, a newcomer to softball circles, was not promised a place In the summer league, ac cording to league officials, when ft entered the spring league. Summer league play will open Monday night on Sweetland field at 8:30 o'clock following a parade of the uniformed teams and brief opening exercises at the field.

The Juniors will play onegame on Thursdays and Fri days. Games will be played, as previ ously, on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Minor points in the rules were discussed by the team representa tives at last night's meeting, final one before play opens, and some changes made.

Losing Trapshooters ? from all over Oregon and much farther away than the farthest spot in our fair state will begin flocking into Sa lem tomorrow. Thursday is listed as the opening day ' of the state trapshoot but there really won't be much 1 doing that day except informal, practice shooting at the club grounds on the airport road. The real show will begin Friday and from then On until late Sun day afternoon there'll be a , lot of shooting and a lot of clay tar gets busted. Appeal, - Eager to make this ' shoot appeal to all classes of shoot ers the Salem club, which has arranged the program and does all the work, has tried to rig up a program ' ia which every, shooter will have some chance to gain prize money. The big day is expected to be the class championship day, Friday, when shooters in classes A. B, C and D vie for S800 in added money divided equally between the four classes.

Harold Dimick, whose basket ball and football teams made such wonderful records at Walla Walla high, will coach next year at Ore gon City. The former Willamette athlete, one of Coach Bob Math' ew's boys, turned out several state championship basketball teams at Walla Walla and won the state title this year while all the world wondered why Walla Walla hadn't seen fit to renew his contract. Another surprise in high school coaching circles was Or- ville "Red" Bailey's announce ment that he didn't know any thing about being chosen coach at Portland's Grant high and wouldn't accept the job if offered. His picture had been run In Port land papers along with "Mush Torson's as a new Portland coach. Keene's Status Quo. While the negotiations be tween "Spec" Keene and the Oregon State athletic control board have remained pretty much in status quo for the last week things are expected to happen one way or the other this weekend. The Willamette board of trust eee meet Friday and may put the okeh mark on the proposed hiring of an as sistant for Spec" at Willam ette. Should that and a few other little changes go through we believe Oregon State will have to look farther for its successor to Carl Lodell. The Corvullis board meets Satur day. Fancipants.

The team selling the most tickets to the opener will he as sured of one spot in the first double-header; the others must take their chances. "No speeches." is the commendable motto of the league officials who sweated through, a half hoar of windy ora tory at the recent Portland league opener. t Softballer. - It doesn't prove that soft ball will make baseball players or that playing softball is a sure way Into the majors but Tom Henrich, the surprising lad the Yankees picked up for $20,000 when Judge Landis declared him a free agent, was a softball player before he turned to baseball. Today ho cavorts in the outfield for the Yankees after only four years as a baseball player. However, he is one of those lada with natural ability who would look good in his first game of base ball. In fact he received a pro fessional offer after playing bis fifth, game of semi-pro ball. As far as we have ever heard he's the only softball product in the majors although there are many players in organized ball who, though they will not admit it, have tossed the big ball around now, and then.

Noel Franklin and Bill Kenna took prominent parts. . McDougall Pasted Scotty McDougall probably got the worst of the contest. In what looked mighty like a grudge per f ormance the Panther and Mc Gulre flung him about, socked him and smashed him until he reeled like a drunkard. While they could have gained a tall much sooner than they did, they preferred to toy with him like a pair of huge cats after a slight ly overgrown rat. That was the way they, got their only double fall, after putting Moran out earlier. Moran and McDougall were awarded the first decision by Referee Harry Elliott when the Black Panther returned to the ring illegally after being downed. Dean Detton, Salt Lake, took two straight falls from Noel Franklin, Portland, , in the 45 minute event. (' Marshall Carter, Detroit, took a single fall from Bill Kenna, Portland, in the opener.

In fact, I couldn't go np and down stairs at all, the misery was so intense. I did everything I knew of, trying to relieve my self, but nothing helped me and I just kept on getting worse and worse all the time.
