M & M, with Ellis Endicott pitching three hit ball and strik ing out 15 batters, downed Mt Angel 8 to 0 but only after the Angels had held the Portland champions closely in check for five innings. Until the sixth frame when the Woodworkers buret out In a four hit attack that sent Harvey Ka ser, Mt. Angel starting pitcher, from the mound, It was a pitch er's duel in which Endicott had only a scant edge. The Woodworkers c o 1 1 e c ted their first run early on second in ning hits by Ash and Houston and for a long time it looked as if that was the only run they were going to get. Meanwhile Endicott was disposing of the Mt. Angel batters ia rapid fire order, at one time striking out eight in a row. Hits by Johnson and E. Pascui zl and a walk issued to Ash load ed the bases for M & M in the sixth and primed things for Hus ton's game-busting single to cen ter field that scored all three. A triple from the bat ot Red Gette scoring Houston, was the pay-off for Kaser, who retired in favor of May. i May fared little better, thej Portlanders having found the range, and in the seventh inning they made four singles and a walk good for three more runs. Endicott's strike out. list of 15. one less than the 16 posted the night before by "Biff" Georgeson was equalled by Bill Jones, the Eugene speed artist, as he held McMinnville to a single blow and put Eugene in the second round 5 to 0. Like the opener the Eugene- McMinnville contest was close tor a ways but batting power told as the Eugene sluggers got to Andy Peterson in the fourth inning for four hits that netted four runs. Don Mabee, McMInnrille high basketball star who as Eugene's first baseman was playing aSainst his home-towners, was, ironically enough, the lad who started the rout. His long home run clout to right field drove in Jones and Christenson and sent Andy Peter son from the mound to right field. Another single before the inning was over drove m Mabee and gave Eugene four of its five runs. Christeason's single ia the fifth drove In Mike Mlkulak for 'Eu gene's final tally. Oaly a scratch ait which Flak. McMinnville shortstop, put through second base, kept Jones from turning in a no hit-a run performance. Scores: MAM (Portland) t 10 0 Mt.

FARR wrest the title from Joe Louis, Comparative statistics on the two : " BY FANJL RAXJS&K Dwight Aden and Vlnnie Harriman," Willamette's grad uates to the Western Interna tional circuit, are going fine, "Pisco Edwards reports. Both are bitting over .300 degrees and Edwards says that Harri man is the best fielding short stop in the league. Vinnie is bark at shortstop again after being ahanted to second for a time while a sore arm regained its vim. Another hot shortstop is Harvey Storey of Tacoma, a lad whom Portland released to the Western International club. Portland is sorry now that it didn't pay the $400 option price for Storey has turned out to be hot staff and will probably be sold to a major league c 1 n b for five or six thousand counters this fall. Salem Ball Club, Edwards believes Salem would make a fine town for another Western International league club. The league now has only six teams and plans presently to expand to an eight club loop. With eight clubs it could be ar ranged that no club would have to make the inordinately long hops now required. Victoria will probably be given a franchise next year and. if Salem could enter, the eight teams would be made up. TVctc; Papa.

Tremaine Ability to 'Take It" Has Something to Do With Outcome of Bout Harry Elliott, 170, took the first and third falls in his mid dleweight bout with Andy Tre maine, 16$, ot Tuscon last night at the armory by exactly the same route. After he had absorb ed halt a dosen body slams and apparently was about through he showed his fine condition by sud denly trapping the Aritona boy with a stepover toe hold. The main event, billed as a fast i scientific match, was just that. Elliott aad Tremaine both fought cleanly using only ortho dox holds. Elliott took the first in 13 minutes, and the third, which was almost identical in action, in 14. The second, which went; to Tremaine in 0 minutes, was; a battle for superiority between a head scissors snapped on early by Tremaine and a body scissors which Elliott got soon after. El liott s body hold won out, but Tremaine Immediately after took the fall with a cradle. Marvel Defeated Don Sugai. 1SS, popular Jap anese, took the Masked Marvel. 170. two out of three ia the opener. The Marvel, who turned oat to be a husky and clever grappler, went dowa in the first in 12 minutes under Segal's fly ing dropkicka after the Labish boy had done little but be kicked around np to that time. Sugai took the final by flying drop- kicks also, and tha Marvel woa the second with a headlock. The only meanie oa the eight's card. Sailor Moras, 170. took his match with Bob Cummlngs, ICS, la the 45-minute semi-final Cammlags took the opener ia 14 mlaates with an armlock. Then Moran pinned the Georgia boy in S in a rough second during which the sailor was warned by Referee Bobby Burns several times for use of peaches. At one Ume the sailor speat eight counts outside of the ring while Cum- miags raged about the puaches he had taken. Cammlags flying dropkick in the last went wrong and dtd him more harm than Moran, so the sailor took advantage ot this and pinned him.

The state softball association deserves a plug for the manner in which arrangements were made tor this year's state soft- ball . tournament. Everything ran along without a hitch the first night, the crowd was orderly and the games were run off in speedy order. Harry Collins, president of the association, was highly pleas ed with everything. The pro grams, which Bob Keuscher edited and arranged, are the best ever also. Spikes. Spikes and cleats should be prohibited in the state tourna meat as they are in the Salera league. Softball, with nearly every play a close one and players inadequately protected against flying steel, is no place for them. That was shown Mon day night when Broderlck, Astoria first baseman, left the field with a nasty gash on his hand that necessitated ten stitches. He received the cut when be fielded a low thrown ball just as a Rotary Bread player tore across the base. League Baseball COAST LEAGUE (Before night games) w. L. Pet.
