Percy Crowfoot of Salem's Pa permakers,the lad who pitched the first no hit-no run game of state softball tournament history and nearly put the Papermakers in the finals with his baffling pin wheel delivery, took the ma jor share of honors when a com mittee appointed by State Pres ident Harry V. Collins met yes terday to select the all-state team and name an outstanding sports man. Crowfoot was first choice for the outstanding sport s m a n award, beating out RedGFette of M & M Woodworkers and Bill Sutton of his own team for the honor, and was also among three pitchers chosen unanimously for the all state pitching crew. Named along with Crowfoot as pitchers for the -all-state team were "Biff Georgeson of Ro tary Bread, who pitched his team to a 6 to 1 win over Wait's, the Salem city champs, and Ellis En dicott. U k M hurler who beat the Papermakers. - Georgeson, although he has three times been a semi-finals or finals pitcher la the tournament, made his debut as an all-stater. Endicott replaced bis teamlmate, Mickey Berlant, who for the past two years has been choice for all state pitcher. Named as catcher was Charles Christenson of Eugene, who with Baden Rupert of Marshfield were the only players of other than Portland or Salem teams to make the all-star selections. Rotary Bread led in selections with four of that team being chosen to the squad of 13 play ers.

Marion baa been burning the fairways to a blackened crisp of late, and she ex pects to be really torrid at Mem phis, where this year's champion ship is being held. Slim and boyishJooking, Miss Miley gets plenty of distance off the tea, and has a better than average Papermaker Best Sportsman M Woodworkers each had three while Wait's of Salem, Uarsh field and Eugene each had one. Lome Kitchen of Wait's, who nas named to the all-star team as a utility, infielder, was the only repeater from last year's all-star team. Kitchen was named as all- state second baseman In both 1935 and 1936. Two members of the tir-tight Papermakers infield, one of the fastest fielding units which has ever shown in a state tourna ment, were selected' for Infield positions on the all-state team. Bill Sutton, who won a place de spite being a less powerful hit ter than, several other candidates. was placed at second base while Bob Dunn, won the shortstop po sition. It is Dunn's second all state selection for he was named all-Mate shortstop when he play ed with Eugene in the 1934 soft ball tournament. ' Vesper Brown, whoseextra base hitting made him a leader among Rotary Bread's crew of powerful batsmen, was chosen as all-state forst baseman, narrowly edging out Johnson of M & M. who was given honorable mention. Chosen as third basemen was M & M Woodworkers' Mike Bt saccio, a veteran tournament player and a heavy hitter. Harry Melcher, slugging Ro tary Bread fielder, wbo hit an even .500 up to last night's game, vris chosen for the left field position. Another slugger. Baden Rupert of Marshfield. whose hitting record was tops for the first five days of the tourney, was placed In center field. Harold Barry, another hard hitter of the Rotary crew. was given the right field spct. Named as utility players were Lome Kitchen of Wait's and Chuck Houston of M & M Wood workers. Voting on the two and Bill sutton for second base po sition was so. close that the com mittee could only name both of them as utility. Kitchen hanrled more chances than any other In fielder, other than first baseman.

Nettled by O'Grady's recent and frequent challenges Cooper has got down to business a n d has been seriously training for the defense of the belt awarded him by the Salem boxing commission. O'Grady, as serious in his quest of the title as Cooper is in keep ing It, recently returned from Seattle where he worked out with the best heavyweights available there. He is reported as rapidly fgettlng into top shape. O'Grady was hardened for the battle by several months' work swinging a pick on a highway construction crew. Matchmaker McCarthy has lin ed up what looks like an excellent supporting card with two six and three four round bouts spotted before the main event; Ted Peterson, Bill Sherrard's welterweight comer from Inde pendence, will meet Sailor Dun ston of Centralia in the six round semi-final.

The Polo grounds echoed with the roar of a crowd of 42,430 fans as the national league champions continued their forward surge, de spite the second straight failure of their ace southpaw, Carl Hub- Deu, to snow winning form. Hubbell was knocked out of the box in the seventh inning of the opener, when the Pirates tird the score. Dick Coffman subduvd the Bucs and the Giants staged a slug fest at the finish to take a 9 to 4 decision. Hal Schumacher returned to form In the second game, limited the Pirates to four hits and rain ed an impressive 3 to 1 verdict at, tne Giants halted the six-game winning streak of 22-year-old Russ uauers, roofeie righthander.

Portland has It again and that makes the awing a little out of balance. Sa lem has held the state ' soft baR championship Just once, the year 1934 when Pade's beat out Enke Dye in the finals. Oregon City has had It once and the other three times, the last three times. It has gone -to Portland. Some body will have to do something about that situation next year. Croivds Grow, Despite the fact that none of the crowds except Friday's over flow gathering looked especially large the tournament this year has been doing bigger business than last year. Even cold nights and bitter wind across the in field couldn't keep them away from the softball tournament and Gurnee Flesher reports that the ;Ue has been averaging about $50 better per night than last year. The fact that both Sa lem teams were in it right up to the last night accounts for that. O Pinivheel Percy. So much for softball. Except to say that Percy Crowfoot de served the honors he won as all state pitcher and outstanding sportsman. Crowfoot never squawked once when the uni pire might have been just a wee bit wrong about a strike. He just grinned and whizzed anoth er one of those invisibility spe cials through the slot. Book From Bud. Football is about ready to take over. The other day we re ceived Bud Forrester's compila tion of information about the Oregon State varsity. Bud, who left a job as managing editor of the East Oregon ian to take the ballyhoo job at O.S.C., has put out a dandy book, although not as flashy as Bruce Hamby s cre ation at Oregon. Best Since ' '33. Forrester's book, which seems to be pretty frank and straight forward about the abilities and limitations of each player, says that football prospects at Ore gon State are best since 1933, the year Lon Stiner's Iron Men lost only one conference game. Since only four regulars were lost by graduation Stiner will have a squad containing some 20 letter- men. "The Orangemen,' writes Forrester, "will play the same type of m d d e r n , wide-open, crowd-pleasing football which made them so popular last sea son." Fight! Fight! ! Fighting comes back to Sa lem next Friday when Jack Mc Carthy stages his baptismal ef fort at promoting. With Gene O'Grady and Tiny Cooper bead ing the card in a championship match the ex-referee has lined up a card which appears to have po tentialities. .While the big af fair is the Cooper-0 Grady match- McCarthy passes along a tip to keep your eyes on Hermie Vogl, a big kid who makes his first stab at fighting in the opener.
