Sport Sparks By RON GKMMELL " A remarkable record, that five-year pitching mark of Henry Singer's. And, the way he's been chucking the over sized agate this year, he'll better his all-time mark rather In the five years of Salem night softball, 1934, '35, '36, '37 and '38, Singer lost only 17 games while winning 52 and had a fire-year earned run aver- O age ol 1.92. Add to this the fact he leads all five-year men at bat, with a .316 average for league play, and Singer automatically becomes the number one Salem softball player of all time. His five-year league pitching record, together with innings pitched (IP), runs scored off him (Ri, hits off him (H), bases on balls allowed (B) and strikeouts (S. is: IP R H B SO 018 20S 440 160 421 In establishing that record, how many pitches do you reckon Singer has made? It can be rough ly estimated by figuring he prob ably pitched to an average of five batters per inning, tnd probably . averaged five pitches to the bat ter. That would figure 25 pitches to the inning, and as he pitched 61S league innings, would mul tiply to 15,450 pitches in five - years of league games. Crofoot Sets Best Mark. Shaded only Ty1slnger's record is that of Vern Gilmore in all around performance. Gilmore, who this year has been a victim of the lengthened pitching dis tance, has in five years won 39 and lost 26 for a .600 average, and has an earned run average of 2.35. Gilmore's "stuff" was best in 1934, when he finished with 10 wins against two losses and an earned run average of 1.03, while his worst season was 1936, when he lost seven, won five and fin ished with an earned run aver age of 4.42. Surprisingly, not only is Gil more's five-year earned run average- lower than George Roth's four-year earned run average, 2.64, but his five-year batting mark of .256 tops Roth's stick- - work record of .253. King of the chuckers who have paraded by In the five years Is, however and of course, Percy Crofoot. In the two years the ex Kansan wheezed his windmill pitch over he established an earned run mark of 1.24 while winning 18 league games and losing but four. Crofoot's record: W L Pet. At. IMS 12 S .800 1.02 1937 1 .828 1.24 Scales Top Infielder. Considering the number of times at bat and the number of Innings played, the best all- around infield performance turned rer the five-year period has undoubtedly been that of George Scales. Scales has, despite Portland Lads v ' " ;v If A Vsvi ;;.:r. w-; V't iff I'r' .iiiMiiil Ii ill --n - - r mmmmm iTVi '"""i ."'A ' J r 'T Wayne Sabin and Pweed Cooke Once teammates la Portland, Ore, Wayne Sahln, left, and Ewood Cooke are among those favored to gain places on the U.

Runs-batted-in records are not available, but if they were would undoubtedly show Scales near the top as he is generally considered the best "clutch" clouter in the loop. Scales' five-year record, togeth er with times at bat (AB), hits (H), batting average (Avg.), put outs (PO), and errors (E), is: Year AB H Avg.

Should he grab the loop batting champion ship it will, however, be for the first time. Despite his top five year average, he has never been able to finish higher than 12th in the yearly races. Who'd a thunk some 1100 would pay two-bits each to see a girls' softball game in Salem? And, say five years ago, who'd a thunk gals could play well enough to send 1100 customers home en tirely satisfied with the perform ances they saw for two-bits per? The answer to both questions is, of course, no one, including nobody. But it happened last Sat urday night, and the calibre of ball presented by both the in vading Canadians and our local Pade - Barricks was femininely phenomenal, not to mention well worth the Quarter asked. Those hustling Sparling gals never let down an instant, and were by far the peppiest, heads-up girls' team to ever visit here. Al though we like to glory in home town wins as much as the next, we really would have liked to have seen them win one of the 1 tilts. (Had they won gloves, in. stead of playing barehanded, they probably woald have tak en at least the first tilt of. the donbleheader at t h a t. Why they don't wear the conven tional glove Is a mystery,- es pecially since they represent a porting goods store and as such are an advertising me diant.

Error-filled softball at Sweet land last night left the Salem Soft ball association standings i un changed insofar as the top and bottom of the circuit is concerned, with Square Deal beating out the Kennedy Kids despite committing 10 boots and Wait's knocking over the Papermakers on the strength of Roth's four-hit pitching and a 14-hit attack on two 'Maker twin ers. Boots Aplenty For the night there were a to tal of 26 errors, as Square Deal beat Kennedy's, 9 to 6, and Walt's walked on the 'Makers, 12 to 2 in seven frames. Brothers Dick and Bill Gentz- kow turned in five of the 10 Deal er boots between 'em, but also contributed six blows, including a homer by Brother Dick. Four of the Dealer errors came in the last inning, as the Kids pushed four tallies across, with their help and Atterbury's double and Olseth's infield single. Up to then Kennedy's, with the exception of the initial inning in which they scored twice on three bingles and two boots, had been subdued almost in order by Hur-lin'-Hittin' Hank Singer. Singer gave up but six bits and two earned runs. Eight Scores Earned Eight of the Dealer tallies were earned, coming in bunches of three in the first, two in. the fifth and four in the eighth. Wait's bunted and smacked Mickenham for eight runs in the first three innings and in the sev enth drove four home off French, who relieved in the fifth. Buck num and Pickens drove in three each, Bucknum collecting a dou ble and brace of bingles in five trips and Pickens singling twice in four. The 'Makers, who didn't get a hit off Roth until Lefty Lenaburg crashed through with a sharp sin gle in the fifth, scored twice In the final frame on two errors, Claggett's sacrifice fly and I. Len aburg's hit to center. Tonight the middle and the bot tom of the league fights It out, with the coveted third place very much at stake in the Schoen's Pheasant opener, and the cellar at stake in the Papermaker-Kenne-dy's nightcap.

Reds Calculate Pennant's Won Team Figures They Could Play .500 Ball on in and yet Win CINCINNATI, July 31.-(P)-A National league pennant for Cin cinnati appeared almost "in the bag" today as the Reds, 12 games in front, looked at the record and figured they could play .500 ball from here out and still stand more than a good chance at the payoff. And if there was a club among seven capable of holding the cur rent pace-setters to that low mark, it didn't show in the July aver ages. Despite absence from the lineup most of the month of Ival Good man, their extra-base slugging outfielder. Bill McKechnle's men went through July at a .759 clip, winning 22 and losing only seven games to boost their margin eight full games and their standing 44 points to a 90-game average of .667. Pirates Closest The only team that approached them in effectiveness was Pitts burgh and the Pirates had to be content with 19 wins and 11 loss es, an .average of .633 that lifted them from sixth place on July 1 to a precarious third place rating of 523 where they virtually were tied with Chicago, 13 games off. Last year's champions. Inci dentally, played only .483 ball from July 1 when they had un disputed possession pf fourth place with a record of 35-30 .538. Resting with other clubs today after a record-tying victory stretch of four double-headers numbered among 10 straight wins, the Rhinelanders had it figured out this way as they looked ahead to 64 remaining games: An even break would give them a season s percentage or .597 on 92 games won and 62 lost, the identical figure by which the St, Louis Cardinals 'and Cubs won pennants in 1930 and 1936, re spectively. Boston played .567 ball in win ning 17 of 30 contests but would have to raise the figure to .781 in the final 64.
