Bj KON GEMMKI.L Often yes, only too often, I've beard 'em shouting from the side lines to a pitcher in a baseball game to "throw 'em and duck," but this McMinnvIlle flinger. Monlsmith, is the only chucker I eTer saw who . ducked first and then threw 'em . . Which re minds me, did you ever see so much diversification as there is In the divers deliveries ueed by soft ball flingers? . . . You'd think, from the gyrations employed, the best prerequisite for -softball pitching would be a course in con tortlonism ... Yet, you don't have to hark very far back to re call that baseball slab artists also used to wind themselves in the most ludicrous and fantastic manners before letting loose of a pitch . . .Which 'Makers?? ... Can the Papermakers boat the Breaduiakers? . That was the predominant question .floating about yester day ... and while the answer en toto will not be known until tonight, there is no question in your correspondent's mind providing those 'Makers take their cuts like they did against Klamath Falls and providing that rinwheel gent has the , agate auguring like he did against Eugene . . . But if such a catastrophe as losing should strike the 'Makers, they will hare lost to a fine bunch of ball players ... If pinch-hitters are needed by Brains" Steelhani-, mer, be shouldn't have to hunt far with Pete McCaffery and George Roth hanging about ... while they constitute a bat tery, and a good one, they also ran wallop the pill as witness the five runs they drove in be tween theui against K. Falls ... Prep Pigskin Party, ... Has anyone yet figured out who has the most titles, Babs Hut ton or Hammering Henry Arm strong? ... A football school for preppers! That's on the menu for all high school boys who care to take advantage of it in the YMCA-Hl-Y camp at Silver Creek Falls recreational area next week. "Say. how I do wish we had something like this : when I was in high school," said Don Coons, the Beaver wlngman who'll be in camp all week . . . Besides Don, "Spec" Keene will be there a day or two to start the youngsters out on fundamentals . . . YMCA Boys' Director (Jus Moore Is attempting to get Oregon's new mentor, Tex Oliver, up tor a day . . . and Vera Gilmore, director of athletics for Stflem schools and track coach ot the yikings, will be there at least part of the time to conduct con ditioning drills and to teach a bit of cross-country . . i It's a big opportunity for valley preppers to not only learn a few football rudiments and get into Condition for the forthcoming season, but to have one swell time doing it . . . Weeds'9 W6hde7 r . . . The Vikings and Coach Hank's loss will be Spokane's and Coach Toughle Elllngsen's gain.

Ellingsen, who moved there this year from Al bany, will be Maynard's new - coach . . . We might add that the loss of "Weexy's" pappy will be another severe blow to Salem high, as be and King Ring Tom Hill were about the best supporters the Vikings had last year . . . According to City Playgrounds Director V e r e .' Gilmore, the city-wide tennis tournament sponsored by this sheet, Parker's sporting em porium and the playgrounds was a scrumptuous success . . in that it re-aroused interest in the racquet sport, which was be ' spinning to be as extinct as the dodo hereabouts ... after the v tourney was started, and too late for further entries, a whole mess of folks attempted to get in . . .

There Is no snappier- ball club in the tournament than that fielded by Baker . . and It was not alone their regular baseball uniforms that made 'em look so ... the Bakers played softball with a baseball snap, looking es pecially good at third base.TBhort stop and first base, where Nelson Orvllle Ragsdale and Jim French held sway . . .

Young Newsboy Steals Golfing Show CLEVELAND, Ang. li-VPf-A. 16-year-old newsboy, playing as cooly under fire as any champion, stole the show today as the semi finals field was formed In the na tional public links golf cham ' pionship. Bart Taro, of Seattle, youngest player in the field, won easy third round and quarter finals victories to qualify for tomorow's 26-hole tests, along with, Louis Cyr and Eddie Beck, both of Portland, Ore., and Al Leach, of Cleveland. 77 ' imore Baker Blanked By 12-0 Count Square Deal Enters Semis Along Willi Makers as Race Gets Tight "Stuff") Pitcher Vern Gilmore had unlimited quantities of that cc imodity last night as he turned in the third no-hit, no run game In the six years of tournament history and the sec ond in as many nights of this sixth-annual state tournament to put the Square Deal gang into the semi-finals by a 12 to 0 elimination of Baker. The Dealers unlimbered their well-filled softball shillallahs from scratch, eleven men jsock ing out seven hits in the first frame to score as many runs. The barrage- was featured by ead off roan ; D'Arcy's tvjo singles. Jack Causey's borne run, Ike El siminger's triple and Welter's two-base blow. Gilmore Trifle Wild Gilmore was wild enough to pass seven Baker batsmen,, but if he hrdn't been, they'd never found out how the base paths looked. With one exception. Caves dropped a throw at first to put one on. 1 The tare-headed chucker had the Bakers shaking their heads In despair as they either pop pea up t utilely or struck out bewll derdly. He struck out 11. It was a great night for anpth- er ot toose uniunitea nroiuer combinations this tournament holds. Bill Gentzkow poked a pair of doubles and one single in three trips and Brother Bernie drove in four runs with his two singles and a Jong fly. Brother Dick, while not faring so wen at bat, handled two putouts and as many assists faultlessly. The Dealers, who will meet the winner of the Rosini-Wines-McMinnvilIe tilt at 9:2ft tonight. snagged one counter to add to their fli at seven In the second with Bill Gentzkow singling, ad vancing on an infield out and a paseed ball, and scoring on Broth er Bernie' s lort to center, mey got one in the sixth on Brother Bill's double and Brother Bernie s single, and finished up in the seventh when doubles by iou Sinrer and Brother Bill, and singles by Weisner and Gilmore drove in -three.
