Say, Clarice, It these softball teams are going to persist In car rying games almost Into the dawn of another day, here's one 'sent who's either going to petition for a CIO affiliation that will allow Innocent spectators to bargain with players for shorter innings, or make ardent demands on Man ager Fleshier, Preiy Maple and Secretary Moore for free sinkers and ; jara 'long ... about daylight. There's no darn sense in prolong ing the agony . the tray those Wait's slickers have been a-doin. It they're goinsg to win anyhow, why not make 'em do it In the regulation period of nine Laninss? Someone Is showing favoritism, for all the rest of the clubs say within; their r.ine-fraine p.'t t ments. . Take Advantages. But, misy, they lo put on a show. Not only !o tlio.x old liters play smart hull, but, tlWy take extreme advantage of the opposition's rtumhnevs. Prime example of the letter ocrnrrrd Wednesday niglit, in game which it again took Wait' 14 inning to wrwt It In .1 win. This time It the Paper- maken who pressed Vm, and who also exhibited the lack .of quick mental facilitation. 'Tl true the Papermakrr tmtsoiiiicI had two ump. to buck, bat even that doesn't provide an adequate alibi for letting some thing go through to which old baseball player like Steelnam mer,' Dunn and Nicholson . should and do know the answer. Old, old Rule. The particular plav hapnened in the fifth inning and concerned a rule that la almost as old as base ball : Itself, namely that a fielder has the right-of-way on the base paths whenever legitimately field ing a batted ball. The decision on the play by Umpires Elliott and Weisgerber was absolutely wrong and ultimately resulted In - three runa for Walt's, but do yon sup pose the Papermaker crew put tip much of a protest? No, Clarice, it didn't. It saved all of its protest ing until the final play of the game. In the 14th inning when Weisgerber called Scales sate at the plate with the winning run when its protests didn't have a leg on which to prop themselves. Baseline Collision. Going back tcj the play, here's how it happened : Causey opened the fateful canto by hoisting a high one to e vitcr field. Okay, one out. Pete Mc Caffery, who by the way is bout the peppiest backstop on parade In this here league, smacked a hopper over second for a single. Adolph, next up. drew a pass, which same pnt McCaffery on the keystone. Now we're gettin some place. Ted Girod. who has been robbed of enough extra base, bits by excellent outfielding i to make a : guy no little piqued, poked a high bounder to French at second base. Just as French started to take Glrod's hopoer, right smackdab on the baseline, Adolph, who was progressing from first to second by leaps and bounds, caught him 'mid ships and both cartwheeled onto the sod. Shouldn't Have Scored. Before the ball was recovered McCaffery had scored from sec ond, Adolph was resting on third and Girod had taken second. Um pire Elliott called all hands safe, and Umpire Weisgerber ac quiesced. Papermakers Steelham mer, Dunn, et al, shook itheir heads, but with not much force fulness. If the play had been called, correctly, Adolph would have been automatically out and " the runners would have advanced one base only. That would have put McCaffery on third and Girod on first with two away. The next man np, Foreman, fouled out to Catcher Schnuelle, which would have ended the inning without a score. Blame 'Makers. I don't blame the limps so much as I do the Papermakers themselves. They cried their eyes- ont about that decision at the plate in the 14th, which was an Out-and-out amp's decision upon which they had nothing but; opinion by which to judge, yet let that fifth-Inning play go Into the record books when all they'd had to do was pro duce a rule book. Not even that much, for a good belligerent beef would have done the trick, as I'll venture every derm on of those Walt's people knew the right and wrong of it. If they had Insisted on that play being called correctly they trniilil tiavA tutd the erame In the UAf; in i link vi uic uiuwi, 5-2, they would not hare had any occasion for that 14th-in nlng .protest and above alL " yours sincerely would have been in bed at a decent hour.

THEY SAID THAT GROVE WAS THROUGH U)HEA) -ME HAD ARM TROUBtC" PITCHERS come and go, but Lonaconing Lefty lingers on! The Great Grove has been pouring his famous fire ball past aspiring and perspiring sluggers for 14 big league seasons, and he's still tops. " Remember back in 1934 when Tom Yawkey paid a fabulous sum to Connie Mack for Grove? The fol lowing season was the worst of old Hose's career. Troubled by a sore arm, he wai a terrific bust and fin ished near the bottom in the year's earned run records. Vander Meer Was Of the Majors Until the Dodgers Woke one Day and There He Stood NEW YORK, June 16-P)-A June day report on the surprising I Cincinnati Reds and their aston ishing double no-hit freshman- Johnny Vander Meer. The queer story behind the "Dunking Dutchman' is that he was forgotten by the Brooklyhs and then came back to string the flat-bushers up with his second successive no-hit, no-run ball game. In 1934, Brooklyn farmed Johnny to Dayton, O., which club sent htm to Scranton, Pa., and Judge Land is investigated the transfer. The result was Johnny got away to ultimately become Cincinnati property. At the final conference with Landis, Old Bob Qulnn, then with Brooklyn, said: "Now that we've lost Vander Meer through carelessness, I sup pose he'll come back a great pitcher to haunt us." At the Landis conference was Warren C. Giles, then executive representative of the minor Ditto Max! Here la a sight for Max Schmeling. This ia one of the latest pictures of heavyweight champion Joe Louis, taken during training session at his camp at Pompton Lakes, N. J pre paring for title match with Max in New York. JL- Oregon, Friday Morning, Jane Perennial Portsider -By BURNLEY- Since that time. Lefty has re deemed himself and howl He proved to be worth every cent of the dough that Yawkey spent to pry him loose from the canny Mack. Without Mose, the Red Sox would have finished deep in the second division during the last few seasons. Now, at 38, the seamy-panned fork hander is going better than ever. He started off the year with a bang by running up a sensational string of eight straight victories before he was finally upset by those murder ous Yanks. The current campaign should be one of the best of Grove's Forgotten Child leagues, and now big boss of the Cincinnatls. "At the time," re called Giles, "I wondered how Vander Meer could help but be come a great pitcher. And of all the pitchers I ever had contact with, he would be my choice to hurl a no-hitter, he's a wonderful boy and should become one of the greatest of all pitchers. Last year, when he pitched for Syracuse, ha won only five games and lost 11 but he held the opposing batters to a grand combined batting aver age of .171." Blinding speed la the Dutch man's power. Last year, he did n't have control and almost bean ed opposing batsmen. Some of them are scared of him yet though nis control it great in the clutch. Silverton Looks For no Setup in Tilt With Eugene SILVERTON Either "Saueck" Wilson or Roberts will start Sil verton's pitching against Eugene sunaay in suverton'a final league game of the first half of the sea son. The second half will be started following the state tours ament in July. Hauser will catch for Silverton Sunday. While Eugene has failed to Uke a win in the first half 1U team batting average Is high and Silverton Red Sox fans are a little worried for fear Silverton may give It its first win. How ever, Silverton is showing good form at practice this week and seems to hare pulled out of the hitting slump winch It fell Into last Sunday at Albany. Local supporters are expressing great appreciation for the sup port balem, Woodburn, Stayton, MC Angel and other towns are giving by coming to the t-mes. A number of Portland people also attended - the Sunday afternoon games. Urge Marshall to Seek GOP Office respite his announced inten tion to retire from office, friends of John Marshall were reported yesterday as planning to seek his reelection as chairman of the 17, 193S brilliant career, judging from his scintillating start. For years Lefty depended on his blinding speed to baffle the batters. Unlike many power pitchers, how ever, Grove had hurling "savvy," , and when his old "swift" began to wane he was smart enough to de velop a deceptive curve which now serves him in good stead. How long will this perennial port sider withstand the scythe of Pop Time? The harassed hitters wish he would fold up his tent like the well known Arab and silently steal away. CtrrricM.

Pale Export True Lasrer Beer Experts Dazed Just as Usual Not Since Dempsey Met Tunney j lias Opinion Been so Divided NEW YORK. June 16-(vP)-The closer they get to the fistic festivi ties the dizzier the sports expert! are becoming in the attempt to decide whether Champion Joe Louis will turn the tab lea on Max Schmeling, next Wednesday night, or again take it on the chin from the German challenger for the world heavyweight crown . . . Not since the second Dempsey- Tunney bout in Chicago has opin ion in critical circles been more sharply divided or as uncertain. Dempsey, the challenger, finally went into the ring in 1927 a slight favorite, despite the decisive lick ing he took from Tunney the previous year. Again the beaten man, Louis, has been given the favorite's role, though tor somewhat different reasons. In Dempsey 's case, sen timent combined with the old mauler's punch to make him the public choice. The so-called "wise-money" now backing Louis seems convinced that the - cham pion's youth, plus his punch and the law of averages, will prove too much for Schmeling. , . All of which remains to be de termined. Today,- along cauli flower alley, as the advance ticket sale hurdled the $500,000 mark with ease, you could hear the ver bal conflict. . It went something like this, as sports writers, fight managers and hangers-on hag gled: , - "If Joe opens up early he will get his bralas knocked out again by Max's right hand." "The longer the tight goes the better the champion's .chances mill be . . . He can afford to bide his time . . . He will outbox Max eaelly . . .that left Jab of his will wear Schmeling down." "Joe regards that last fight ea Just an accident . . . he's got Jast one idea in mind- revenge . . . he won't make any mistakes this time . . ." "Max never had a worry in his life ... he's the coolest man that ever stepped Into a ring . . . and one. of the most methodical . . . he will take Joe when he gets ready . . ." Galaxy of Stars Gather for NICA MINNEAPOLIS. June 16-P)-A collection of track and field stars regarded as strong enough to csrry Olympic colors will fight it out for Individual and team honors in the national intercol legiate meet tomorrow and Sat urday at the University of Minne sota. Authority' for a statement that a team picked from the field "would have better than an even chance" of winning an Olympic meet is Lawson Robertson, Penn sylvania track and field techni cian who -coached the United States Olympic team In 1923 and 1932.
