No sooner do we acclaim" the
Waits club as presenting the best
array "of . talent we ever : saw
fielded as one softball unit than
the masterful Meatmen pia the
local pennant to their dugout and
Salem Softball Manager Gurnee
Fle3her starts laying plana tor a
three-way norhwest tournament,
Flcsher, who likes to count 1
dimes so well he's not a bit ,
loathe to count 'cm before
they're hutched, already ' has
an idea' clnnking around in his
noggin. He'd bring Waits, the
Oregon state softball champs of
1939, the Washington champs
and Vancouver, H. C. (champs
of Canada together 'here in
, a three-way round robin- tour
ney for the northwest cham
pionship! . .
Of course Waits . have to win
the state title yet, but to Flesher
that's practically in the . poke.
Like a lot of us. he has a feel
ing the Waits crew is the high
est caliber kittyball cuties ever
tossed together in these parts.
But there is one thing Flesh
er undoubtedly has not con
sidered. The things" happens
to be that Waits, providing
they win their first-round ap
pearance, will go up against
Salem's number two team, pro
viding it wins its first-round
game, in the quarter-finals of
the state tourney. And, un
less Schoens deal a,pre-tour-ney
'death blow to 'cm, those
pesky Square Dealers will be
the bo) Waits will have to
plJv
"Buck" Was Best Evert
rWhUe Waits, man for man and !
as a club, are a larger load of
softball poison than are the Deal
ers and both the individual
, averages and final won and lost
columns back up this statement
-.-the fact remains the Dealers
'did dump the Meatmen each of
the three times they met, and
there Is every reason to believe
they could do it again.
Even should the Dealers
beat 'em again, yours sincere-,
ly still thinks Waits team the
best soft ball team he has ever
seen. That is, with Bucknum,
who was far and away the best
first baseman . the league has
had to our knowledge, la there.
He won't be, however, for he'a
way to Phoenix, Ariz-, to
take up his newly-acquired
coaching duties there, and big
Ike Eisiininger , Is to replace .
' him.
While big Ike is as good an
outfielder as there , is -. in the
league, and will hit right along
with any of 'em, he's - not the
first baseman that was Bucknum.
There will probably be some 13
or 14 initial sack - artist in
ferior to Ike in this upcoming
meet, however, and Waits won't
suffer any severe blow on that
account. "
What the Meatmen mast
have is another' pitcher to
help our George Roth, who
can't be expected to carry the
entire tourney tossing load
even though he is a brute for
punishment and apparently is
at his best the oftener "he
works. Co-Managers Pete He
Caffery . and Clay Foreman
know this, and yesterday were
doing everything they could to
get the name of ' one Percy
PiawbeeP Crofoot - on the
dotted line.-' " -
May Get Crofoot.
Should Crofoot. who it is said
has been keeping that windmill
wrinkle of bis well-oiled through
out the season, agree to don the
black and white, about the only
thing that could stop Waits from
wrapping everything in this com
ing 1939 meet , would be a
major catastrophe.
With Crofoot in the fold even
McCaffery and Foreman could see
but one possible defect in the
dream team. It is. rumored they
are worried about the third base
slot. They ' fear the man who
has been endeavoring . to . hold
down the torrid corner is .slip
ping. .
They are said to have
po.'nted out that George Joseph'
Scales hit but .365 during the
regular season, and that his
fielding work, despite the fact
he did cover considerable
ground for a man of his vit
age, was 94 percentage points'
away from perfection - -
"There," they are supposed to
have chorused, "is a man who
has wonderful possibilities If ho
would hustle. But. right when
the joint; gets ; tough he'a apt
to dog It. We tried to peddle
him to Kennedys earlier in the
season but all they would offer,
as for him was an option on a
. playgrounds player they bad
signed up out of the kindness
of their hearts one bleak day last
January." .
It x was pointed out to Mc
Caffery and Foreman that Scales
was heavily instrumental in
bringing Salem the two state
softball titles they possess, the

- But four men. Bucknum at
first. Scales at third. Pitcher Hen
ry Singer and Outfielder Tommy
Drynan received. all 10 possible
rote for positions on the official
1939 'Salem Softball association
all-star team, picked yesterday by
League Scorer R. D. "Doc"
Blatchford, Umpires Johnny Ora
vee and Lloyd Girod and Salem
sports writers.
Voting was so close at other
positions that in two, the catch
er's spot on the first team and
the third base position on the
second, there were ties. Rather
than to decide these positions by
a flip of the coin or re-vote, bal
loters decided to allow both men
to maintain their positions.
Waits, the champions, took
nearly half of the first team posi
tions, five, with Square Deal tak
ing three, the Pheasants two and
Schoens one.
Tommy Drynan, who finished
second in the league batting race
with a .377 average, was the only
man to for the second successive
year pole a unanimous vote. This
honor, was last year accorded to
Drynan, Nicholson and Percy Cro
foot. Each of the five balloters voted
for separate first and second
teams. Votes were compiled on
the basis of two votes for each
first team selection and one vote
for each second team selection.
It is only fair to relate that
no man who played lesB than
half of the league games was
held eligible for the league all
star team. Among those elimi
nated on this ruling was Squee
Kitchen; who would have been
a popular choice had. he been
eligible.
To, in a measure, halt the ever
present criticism of all-star selec
tors, it might be pointed out that
this all-star club has a team hit
ting average for the season of
.319 and a team fielding average,
per individual, of .957.

Add to this the fact Roth and

averages give adequate support

ring officials.
Immediately' upon receipt of
McCoy's resignation, said to have
come because business takes him

Waits Spot 9,

McMinnville Outfit
13 to 10
Spotting them a nine-run lead,
Waits came from behind to earn
12 tallies off the delivery of
"Speedball" Bill Jones and beat
the McMinnville Elks. 13 to 10, on
Sweetland last night, but Schoens
committed too many boots and lost
the nightcap to. Portland's Grim
shaws, 4-2.
Salem's champs started with a
make-shift lineup that placed
Tommy Drynan in the pitcher's
box, and the McMinnville macers
unloaded to drive him from the
mound in thethird, in which they.
scored eight runs off nine hits
and one error. One run was scored
off Art Siebens, Drynan'a relief in
that frame, and although the Elks
pushed one across in the ninth to
tie the score, it was an unearned
marker.
Phil Salstrom's ninth-inning ho
mer, scoring two ahead, broke the
10-10 -deadlock and gave the Meat
men their win. Art Siebens as
sisted in winning his own ball
game with a home run and single
that accounted for two tallies.
while eight of 11 men Manager
McCaffery had in the ball game
drove in at least one run each.
The Grimshaws scored all but
one of their runs on Schoen errors,
Pitcher Mickey Mickenham being
responsible for but the one tally,
a home run blast by W. Obery in
the second. On the other, hand.
Schoens could get but four blows
off Perisich, and earned but one

GOSHEN, N.T., Aug. t-()-The
buggy whip derby, better known
in trotting circles as the Hamble

over Good Time park's flat-iron
shaped track tomorrow with nine
three-year-old trotters, two of
them fillies, trying to beat a coun
try doctor out of the major part
of $40,500.
Peter Astra la the hope of the
country doctor, Dr. L. M. Guilln
ger of Andover, Ohio: And the
odds are 1 to 3 the beautiful strid
ing son of Peter Volo will send his
70-year-old owner home $21,341.
35 richer, a mighty good invest
ment on the $3,250 the good doc

Seven of the nine horses he wUl

If there is any upset, the book
makers believe the perpetrator
will be either Baupiper. or Gaunt

odds against even these two were
no shorter than 8 to 1 today as the
