ace of the Pale Hose.
Monte is really going through his

was on the Sox payroll all of last

Salem collected 11 scattered hits
off Dallas' pitcher Bruce Eckman.
The winners tallied 15 times in
two innings.
Dallas held a 5 to 2 lead going
into the last of the sixth Inning,
and converted three hits and a
pair of errors into six runs. The
eighth became ' a nightmare for

Hugh Ashby, Shreeve Garage

longest hit, a home run clout in

31 & 31 Woodworkers, de
fending 1 state champions of
softball, and Rotary Bread,
their deadliest rival, will again
be among the teams battling
for the state softball crown
next week. It will be the third
successive year that the two
teams have been Portland's
representatives in the- state
tournament and never yet has
either failed to reach the semi
finals. O
Bakers Also Champs.
Rotary Bread, with itsoeefy
speedball pitcher, "Biff George
son, was state champion In 1935,
defeating M & M that year 1 to 0
In the final game. It was a pitch
er's duel between Georgeson and
Mickey Berlant and Berlant lost
but had balm in that he walked
off with about all the individual
trophies and honors there were
to be bestowed. It had been touch
and go between those two teams
all season, even as it is yet, and
when the championship game was
over their slate was even at five
wins apiece.
Meet in Finals.
Last year the two clubs did
' not meet in the tournament
for Rotary Bread was defeated
O to 5 in the semi-finals by
Hogg Brothers of Salem with
Vera Gilmore pitching one of
the sweetest games of his ca
reer. This year also the sched
ule Is so arranged that the two
Portland teams must meet, if
at all, ia the final game. They
will play Friday night in Port
land for the city championship
and to determine which will be
the Portland No. 1 team and
which the No. 2 in the tourna
ment. Best vs. Worst.
There's a game on tonight on
Sweetland field which is of great
importance to the younger ele
ment In softball. It's a battle be
tween an all-star team from the
junior league a team consisting
largely of Golden Pheasant play
ers, and the Eagles. As Gurnee
Fls her says it's a game between
the best possible junior league
combination and the worst senior
league team to determine the
feasibility of entering a team of
juniors in the big league next
season. -! . .
Back to Eight.
Indications bow are that the
softball association, after a sor
ry experiment with a six team
circalt, will return next year
to the old eight team standby.
This has been a poor season
for the league and part of the
reason has been that the con
tinuity of , games was broken
by the Thursday night sessions
devoted to the junior league.
This year the softball associa
tion will ot be bragging about
how maeh money It puts la the
bank, though It will still be
well oa the black side of the
ledger.

Vanderbilt's defender of the
America's cup, won her 19 th

to a large degree unwitnessed be
cause the contest was sailed for
the most part in a fog so thick

the length of the contenders.

a 32-mile squadron run of the
New York Yacht club, from New

behind her old sister.

he led his three closest American
rivals, Frank Parker, Bryan "Bu

... Budge's touch and timing de

Extensive preparations were be
ing pushed to completion Thurs
day by the Salem Active club and
the Salem Golf club for entertain
ment here Saturday of the four
traveling professional stars who
will show their wares on the Sa
lem course that afternoon at 2:15
o'clock, and of the hundreds of
golfers and others Interested in
in the game who will form the
gallery. There is no charge to the
public and golfers from all parts
of the Willamette valley are be
ing invited.
The Active club has arranged
for Harry V. Collins, district man
ager of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company who has tak
en great interest in promoting all
types of amateur sport in Salem
and is an active golfer himself, to
serve as master of ceremonies and
introduce the visiting golfers.
Horton Smith, "Lighthorse Har
ry Cooper; Jimmy Thomson and
W. Lawson Little. Smith takes
over the duties of announcer for
the exhibition of fancy shotmak
ing which precedes the match,'
To Control Gallery '
The "warmnp" ehibition will
take place below the hill in front
of the first tee and the spectators
are expected to find vantage
points on this hill, from which to
view this unusual program.
Members of the Active club
have been assigned as galleryj
marshals and will maneuver a
guard rope which will keep the
crowd back from the players and
out of the line of flight of their
shots during the match. It is
planned to rope off thus an area
at all times large enough so that
everybody will be able to see what
is going on. As the match pro
ceeds, all scores will be announc
ed, together with the standing of
the teams, after each hole.
Although the professional stars
will play a best ball match iu
which only the score of the low
man on each team will count, all
four will hole out on each green
In order that their medal scores
may be recorded.
At the golf club, all fairways
and greens were being mowed
late this week so that the course
will be in apple-pie order. "Back
tees" will be used so that the
course will be more difficult than
normal and approximate the
length of the championship
courses these men are accustomed
to play. The greens, recently top
dressed, have rounded out In ex
cellent shape.
