Steinbock, who had allowed
only three hits .until the eighth,
was touched for eight hits. Vern
Gilnrore gave up ten, five of them

tight ball game as the Papermak

the secret of Ike Wintermute's
pitching and slammed him badly.
Boh Dunn and Eisiminger both
got home runs as the Papermak
ers made six hits and a pair of
coots good for five runs, enough
to close the books at the end of

Crowfoot, his windmill delivery
working in fine style, gave up

ELY. PAUL HAWSE-K
Albany college's decision to
drop Its games with Willamette
and College of Idaho Is sig
nificant to the Northwest con
ference. It means not only that
Albany has sera the futility of
competition with teams ont of
Its class bat also means that
the round robin system, which
blossomed' so bravely vlast year,'
Is now somewhat of a shambles.
Since Willamette, like Albany,
will not play the College of
Idaho there will be no round
robin as three schools of the six
will play only three conference
games, .
Scrapping.
It may mean the eventual scrap
ping of the Northwest conference,
a circuit, which appears to . have
outgrown its usefulness. Willam
ette, I believe, would be glad of
it, though it has been chary of
any open moves in that direction.
Each year Willamette has been
moving more and more in tbe di
rection of becoming a small but
strong independent and Albany's
decision merely adds impetus to
the movement. I should not be
surprised to find nothing but
charred remnants after this year
to remind one that once there was
a Pacific Northwest conference.
Bearcats Bargain.
Willamette will, of course,
attempt to get another game to
fill the September 25 date left
vacant by Albany's withdrawal.
The University of Wyoming has
been mentioned bnt Wyoming
wanted a game with Willamette
October' 2 and may not be will-,
ing to take on such a strong
adversary as the Bearcats In
September. Especially a it
would take a large guarantee to

NEW YORK, Aug.! 4.-(iip)-After
setting up their run-making pa
rade : with Bill Dickey's homer
with the bases loaded and Lou
Gehrig's 23 rd circuit clout of the
season, the Yankees called on- the
lowly single today to whip the
White Sox 10 to 9.
Chalking up their third straight
over the second-place Sox, the
Yanks stretched their American
league lead to eight full games.
Singles by Joe DiMaggio and
Gehrig and a w a 1 k to Dickey
loaded the bags with one out in
the ninth and the score tied at
9-all. In that situation, Jake Pow
ell stepped up and dumped a
single over second ; to break up
the ball game.

they saved between 20,000 and

' and early season games are not
spectacular drawing cards. '
Lets Stay Home. - -
Since the Albany contest was a
home game Salem fans should
hope that Willamette ' la - able to
line np another home game for
that date. However, it is rather
late in the season to be shooting
for such quarry and the Bear
cats may find themselves idle on
September 25. This would not be
disastrous, however, as Willam
ette has nine other engagements
to worry about.
All Star Elmer.
Dwlght Aden, who has final

Lewlston. In the W-I, has been
selected on- the all-star team

fight Frankle Lembo of Seattle
in a six-round bout on Nate
Druxman's card headed by Al
Hostak and Allen Matthews in
Seattle next Tuesday.
Funny Man.
They say Wes Schulmerich Is
the funniest man in baseball, even
after three months with losing
Lewlston. W-I fans who h a v
seen that famous major league
funny team of Nick Altrock and
Al Schact In their hey-day say
that he is funnier than they were
at their funniest. Last week at
Yakima Schulmerich put the fans
in stitches when he comman
deered the p. a. microphone and
went to work on a play by play
description of the game, sparing
nobody.

Lightening' Ballast Makes
it Closer; Challenger
Loses Third Time
By ALLAN GOULD
NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. i.-yPf-Britain's
big blue challenger tor
the America's cup. Endeavour
2nd, couldn't do more than make
It closer today, even with the
lead taken out of her feet, and
consequently took her third
straight ocean-going defeat from
Harold 8. Vanderbilt's sensational
Ranger.
Gaining virtually all of his vic
torious margin on a record-breaking
15-mile beat to windward over
a 30-mile course, the American
skipper brought his big white
ghost . ship home in front once
more with characteristic skill,
and nearly a mile In front.
Vanderbilt needs only one ad
ditional victory to clinch this
country's 16 th and his third con
secutive yachting triumph in com
petition for the America's cup.
The American has now captured
seven straight races from his Brit
ish rival, T. O. M. Sopwith, Includ
ing the last four of the 1934 se
ries. Ranger crossed today's finish
line with a margin of four min
utes, 27 seconds, In the closest,
fastest and most artistically-sailed
race thus far.
The defender negotiated the 30
miles In 3 hours, 64 minutes, 30
Seconds as she combined the spin
naker run to leeward with a short
reach near the finish. Endeavour
was clocked In 8:58:57.
