Through '.the courtesy of
Brother Bob, who wu no
slouch as m splash artist in his
collegiate ys t Oregon, we
learn that 1 Salem's Wlnfield
"Wiff Keftdham Is chanting
his way prominence or the
Stanford tank team.; Wif f . in
the Stanford-reC meet for the
Southern conference title, took
two first places and was high
point splasher of the meet. He
took the 220 In 2:20.3 and the
440 in ff :U3.4. In winning the
230 he nosed out Boh Boals of
I'SC by three inches and beat
the same guy in the 440 by. a
cant foot. In a dual meet with
UCLA, Xeedham copped the 440
but was nosed oat in the 220.
Coin up.
When the Cubs-Dean deal was
first, eonsumated, the cash price
was revealed as "probably $100,
000." Two days later the "proba
ble" piece of filthy lucre rose to
$ 1 5 0,0 0 0. Now Philip K. Wrig
ley, owner of the "Cubs, reveals
that the price was $185,000. At
that, rate, .by next September the
price will hare zoomed to $2,
50.000, and it is our hunch that
Mr. Wrlgley will be wondering if
the Dizzy One was worth It.

Large Idea.
One of j Willamette's local
prominent alumni, Brazier
Small, offers a commendable
suggestion , in regard to alle
Tinting the "scoreboardlesis
ners that still prevails at base
, bail games on Sweetland field.
Noticing a bunch of youngster
whopping it np in the new
grandstand's press box daring
the Oregon Bearcat, game.
Small suggests that the boanltd
front of the box be used for a
core board. For Small's idea,
which is a large one, the ma
terials necessary would cost a
little less than a lollypop. A few
nails hammered into the
boards, some cardboards to
designate the . innings, and a
small boy to take care of re
cording the scoring and thar
she blows, by gum. .
'Gerber Goes "Plop."
Incidentally, Coach Keene was
a trifle piqued at our recent De
ration of Willamette "powers that
be' for not starting ball games
on time. "Spec now informs us
that the first Oregon-Willamette
game here, which caused us to
howl, was postponed an hour to
let the field dry a little more.
Anyhoo, it is pleasing to note that
subsequent games hare started
dern near right on the stroke of
- the scheduled time. Too, there
has been little dillydallying while
the games are in progress. Of
course, interruptions such as that
staged by Gatekeeper Dick Wels-
gerber are bound to happen. Big
Dick, having grown a trifle more
than a little "baywlndowish'
since laying away moleskins was
sitting astride a box, relieving
all. comers of a f ew cen'tavos at :
Tuesday's tilt. The game was bare
ly nicely started when a resound
ing crash went np from Wels
gerber's neighborhood, and all
eyes shifted there to see the "lit
tle" ail-American flat on his back
with both feet pointing skyward
and the few shekels that the Wil
lamette athletic fund needs so
badly scattered thither and yon.
"Third down and six bucks to go,"
was Dick's probable comment.

Vikings Edged out by IVIilwaukie in
Field Meet Here; Absence of Star
Hurdler and Jumper Is Keenly Felt
Not even their crack relay team
could save the Viking trackmen
yesterday, as Milwaukie high,
making clean sweeps of the high
hurdles and high Jump events,
edged them out 63 to S 9.
No outstanding times were
marked up, but the. halt mile run
developed into a blanket finish
with Shinn of the Vikings edging
out both teammate Hoevet and
opponent Burkhart. Burkhart led
until the stretch, Shinn jockeying
his way in last place until the last
half lap. Opening up on the back
stretch, Shinn drove around the
last turn and sprinted hard down
the home stretch to break the
tape. Hoe-ret lnehed ont Burkhart
for second place.
Miller Heaves Increase
Big Art Miller, who has placed
second in the shotput in the state
meet for two conseuctive years,
gave warning that he was out to
annex a first this year when he
got off a heave of 48 feet 10
inches yesterday to win that
event.
With Toole and Rlckard, the
Vikings' number one hurdler and
high jumper, respectively, both
out of yesterday's meet, the Sa
lem cinder team never placed a
man in those two events. Had one
or both been in the meet, the
Vikings probably would have eked
out a win.

Ruppert Offer
Dons Unie Saturday to
Be Ready to Battle
Solons if Wanted
NEW YORK, April 29(JPh-
Back to the New York Yankees
when they need him most cornea
jolting Joe Di Maggio. the San '
Francisco outfielder who accept
ed today the club's salary offer of
125,000 after a holdout siege that
would hare lasted three months
tomorrow.
Di Maggio ended his holdout
with a terse telegram to business
manager Edward G. Barrow and
tonight was speeding to join the
club he sparked to American
league pennants and world cham
pionships in 1936 and 1937. The
staggering Yankees need him.
They, have won only one of three
games and their hitting has been
puny.
No Bonus Promised
DI , Maggio capitulated at the
terms offered by the Yankees
with no promises of a bonus for
a good season. Both Barrow and
Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the
club, were insistent on this point.
"His salary is 825,000, no
more, no less," said Ruppert, who
added he was "very glad that the
young man has signed."
Di Maggio, traveling by train.
will arrive in New York Saturday
morning and will be in nniform
for the Yankees' game with the
Washington Senators.; No . one
knows whether he is In shape to
play and Mgr. Joe McCarthy will
be "the sole judge of that" ac
cording to Ruppert. The clnb will
dock him about 3162 a day until
he is in shape to play.
According to reports from the
coast. Di Maggio has worked out
sporadically with the San Fran
cisco Seals. He told reporters be
fore leaving his home he was
rarin to go" and excited about
"getting back there and rapping
that ball again.
No Second Offer
The club's offer was (26.000.
Di Maggio asked $25,000 and la
ter upped his price to $40,000.
Colonel Ruppert was firm and
both sides settled down for a
"freexeout" campaign. The club
made no second offer.
The1 move which ended the
holdout was entirely Di Maggio's.
