Marvin Ritchie, who has won
five and lost one game this sea
son, will be on the mound for
Wait's matched against the pitch
ing ace of the Red Devils, "King
Kong" Kelly, said to possess the
speediest fast ball of any soft
ball pitcher in captivity.
While , Kelly can boast of 22
no-hit games during his career
Ritchie can also claim a place
among low hit ranks. In six games
this season, he has pitched three
four-hitters, one of five and two
of six hits.
Bill Beard, Willamette univer

Ritchie's slants. Other members
of the Wait's club, all veterans in
Salem softball play, are: Rex

His Farewell
By BURNLEY -
couple of weeks ago. This means he
must concentrate on keeping the big
bad wolf from the home portals,
and can't go gallivanting around
the land on track expeditions with
nothing but applause and a modi
cum of expense money as his
reward.
Dont fool yourself on this last
score. Amateur track athletes re
ceive no fabulous sums for "expense
money." They arent nearly as well
off in this regard as the "amateur"
tennis players, for example.

outset of the battle of Oakland

When yon write a column
every day (or almost every
day) there come times when,
though the air Is full of things
to write about, none of them
seem to have any appeal. It's
like when yon could mow the
lawn bat would rather not. I
could write about the state
trapshoot which gets under
way today. I could write about
softball which starts Monday '
and which gets a preview to
night. I could write about fight
ers and how Eddie Norris and
Paul Smith will battle at the
armory. 1 could write about
Dizzy Dean, Carl Hubbell,
Mickey Cochrane and bean
balls, fishing or . hara-kiri, the
Japanese indoor sport. But 1
don't want to today. Maybe it's
the rain that does it, but here
in the second week of June I
want to write about football.
So I'll just list some of the best
football stories I hate stuck

"Crowley," he said, "can you

"Yes, father," Jim meekly re
plied. "Did you see that sign on the
bulletin board forbidding anyone
but seniors to leave the campus?"
"Yes, father." ;
"Well, Crowley." said the
priest, pointing toward the uni

give you just two minutes to get

o'clock this morning in the open
ing event of the Oregon state trap
shoot on the Salem Trapshooters'

Although clear skies and calm

and the state shoot will be no ex

compete in the class champion
ships, first event on the program.
Shooters of the four classes,
A. B. C and D, will shoot over 25
targets in today's big event, most
attractive spot on the program
for the lower class shooters.
Shooters in each class hold regis
tered averages within four per
cent of one another.
There will be a division of 8800

1100 going to each, event, $200 to
each class. ;..-
Money division for A and B
classes will be by the Rose sys

breaks the most targets draws
down the most money while, for
the lower class shooters the lucky
