Sport Spairko " By RON GEMMELL Meat -t ' ' J 14 Had my local contemporary in the sports writinar field (a field which would produce more kernels to the paragraph were there more cultivating and less harvesting) been con sistent in his observations of local Softball all-stardom I Joe All-Star In the last Wednesday afternoon .edition of the local evening, dally, under the bylines of Mr. Fred Zimmerman:. ' 1. He chose a personal all-star team after relegating all all-etar teams to the bottom of the well sometimes known as .Necessary Evils when he wrote: The silly season, or the time of year when all-star selections are in fashion, is here. We have hot changed out mind concerning? the value .of such nominations, but since there sem8 to .be a popular demand for a sports writer to point out nine Softball , players who are superior to their mates, we have acted accordingly." "-" : : V ..." ;' i ' -.1 . . .' : 2. He -chose Squee Kitchen at SECOND base on. his personal all-star." team after, stating: "Regardless of how many games he participated in, in our estimation, Squee Kitchen Is the best FIRST baseman in the community." - v , 3. He chose Ike Eisiminger at FIRST base on his second team personal all-star although stating in the accompanying story: "Since it is almost impossible to keep Eisiminger off the list, we hare as signed him to an OUTFIELD berth." WficiaF All-Stars . Because I believed, and continue to believe, that all-star teams have a, very definite news value to fans and players alike (and whether they agree with "official" selections or not makes them only the more Interesting and newsworthy) I last year asked league umpires and Official Scorer R. D. Btatchford to choose an all-star team. ' -' ; J I did not vote on that official nine, despite the fact I had seen and scored nearly every league game and believed myself as com petent to name it as anyone. I refrained from voting as I felt it would be doing an inconsideratlon to Mr. Zimmerman, whom I knew bad witnessed comparatively few of In my opinion -entitled, to a vote. This year I again asked the officials to choose the all-star teams, stating at the. time and for the to vote. Scorer Blatchford, however, informed me Mr. Zimmerman had expressed a desire to cast a ballot, and asked me to vote also. I personally solicited ballots from the umpires and handed them to Blatchford. along with my own. jo that I might publish the results), I assisted Blatchford In com piling the votes. The official team, on which Zimmerman. Blatch ford, Lloyd Girod, Johnny Oravec en toto on this page last Wednesday When voting npon that all-star, we fared the problem of what consideration , to give auch outstanding players as Squee Kitchen. who had not played a majority of the league games. We decided, (and Mr. Zimmerman's opinion was solicited by Scorer Blatchford), that it would be doing an injustice to in a majority of the games to even een in action less than half of the Averages Are of Not for an Instant do Ilntend all-star teams, and least of all my choosing such on the merits of the vital Interest to fans and players However, when a man in a helped create by choosing another after putting the whammie on all all-stars, it Involves so many contradictions and inconsiderations as to leave me aghast. In making his all-star selection (a selection he had ever right to make) Mr. Zimmerman said he made it after "consulting several authorities" and that in no Instance had he taken the records ex clusively as a basis for his findings. .- Whether he Intended to imply that the official all-star team was chosen strlctlv' from the record book or not is something, I can't .answer.- but I do feel the Implication to be there. If so. it Is untrue for neither Girod or Oravec availed himself of Blatchford's care fully compiled records before making his selection. How much Mr. Blatchford studied his own statistics I have no way of knowing. That I studied believe I have played and witnessed enough baseball to know there are a few more physical and mental abilities to consider than the batting and fielding averages, although these assuredly are at least to per cent importance..! consulted no other "authorities," however. not even the so-called pioneer atop Difference in "All-Star" and "Best" Teams A voter must confine his choices to what each individual did in that league or tournament when choosing mythical all-star teams from a league or tournament, and of accomplishing. Therefore the ' tremely difficult to stare down when making such selections. While ground coverage, throwing ability, base-running ''ability, etc., are prime considerations In the big leagues, it is those cold. factual batting and fielding percentage marks that get the big con sideration when prospective talent Were I choosing a team from idea in mind of fielding the very best clab possible. It would probably be quite a different lineup than the ill-star selection I handed "Doc" Blatchford. Why? Because the all-star team I chose was made up of those players waoin I believed out-played their competitors at the respective positions tor the season. As an example, had I chosen the team I would like to have play ing for me, I eoaldn't have overlooked Bob Dunn of the Paperznakers for the shortstop slot. Bob plays that shortpatch better than anyone else In the circuit, despite what the averages show. He handles balls no other shortstop in the loop would get a hand apon, chiefly because he knows the probable spot to which every hitter fs likely to bit providing he knows where the pitcher Is going to pitch. But to place Dunn on the official all-star when he hit little better than .159 for the season was Impossible. " The same goes for Pete McCaffery, who didn't rate consideration for even the second team oa my ballot. Pete, la my opinion, is mech anically the best receiver la the loop. But the tact remains he didn't hit his hat all season, and. that despite his mechanical abilities his Melding average was no better than that of either Lou Singer or Hal Tangle, each ot whom outhit hint by nearly 109 points. - Too, anyone choosing a "best team would be committing soft ball suicide to leave Siueo Kitchen out ot the second base slot. De spite a shoulder Injury that handicaps his throwing. Squee has no peer at that poet. But. I tor one did not wish to be a "party to what I considered would be injustice to the other second basemen of the league by placing Kitchen, who had appeared in but five. games, ahead ot some of them who had played the entire 15. In conclusion let me say that all-dtar teams, by their own mythi cal status, can hurt-wo one. A selector may get verbal hell from this . islayer or that fan tor leariag thi player or that player off bis team, but I have yet to see any. player hurt by not being mentioned oa a mythical selection. The writer, tor one. would br this time have "been hurted" to death if he became hart every time he was ever left off all-star teams. ' ' . . ,,. ' - , Wayne Sabtn Is Wed f), LOS ANGELSS.

The game was viewed by 1600 fans. The P-Bs Wednesday night took the Tommies by an 4-1 count. Pitcher, Rae . Yocom and Third Basemistress Barbara Kurts put enough punch together in the first and second innings to win the ball game, driving home five runs be tween them in those two heats. But, just to make things splendid ly secure, the P-Bs pnt tire blows and one error together in the third to taUy -three and splurged with five more hits, that Included .

Yocom Hard to Hit As in their Wednesday meet ing, the Tommies could collect nothing but singles off Rae Yo com, and the nine they got of those were well spaced. Singles by Curran. Ramorinl and Garrow, In terspersed by a fielders choice and an error, gave them two tal lies in the second, they scored once in the third on hits by Mac- George, Widney and Currans, and once in the fifth on the only walk of the ball game plus bingles by Maxzera and Widney after two were away. Rae Yocom not only whiffed five to win her ball game, but kept pace with Kurtz in hitting safely each of three appearances at tie plate. Her pitching opponent. Err a Nason, said to be the Tommies top tosser, showed a world of speed and a nice change, but the local lassies swung into her offer ings with zest. Catcher Is Good The greatest display of femin ine catching ability ever seen at Sweetland was put on by Mae- George, the Tommie receiver. The lithe little lady hauled down foul tips that would have defied lots of male wearers of the bird cage.

Salem, Oregon, Sonda j Morning, Aagvst 13, 195J Man Shapes Slugger Bats Are Just Bate But to Edgar Dodge of Woodburn the Ash Shillalah SILVERTON To the average baseball faa the bat that starts the ball rolling for a home rua is Just a piece of wood. To Edgar Dodge of Woodburn It is at least two years' work, and Mr. Dodge should know because he has put out over 2000 bats this summer, aad is preparing many more for the autumn season as. strangely enough, i most bats are sold in September and October tor next summer's use. Mr. Dodge, who is the father ot Ray Dodge, former Oregon State college athlete, began his "batty" experiments five years ago. "For thee years I tested out lo cal woods, ash, dogwood, yew. maple and alder," he tells. " I tried various methods of season ing. W. L. McGlnnls of Silverton, veteran la both Umber and base ball worlds, was no end ot help to me. "At the end ot three years I found a formula that proved quite satisfactory. Two years ago I be gan working oa tbe thousands of bats I pat en the market this year. Those X made last year will go oa the market next year. Those I ana making now." and he pointed at bats piled, stacked and stand ing all about him in his little shop, "will go out in 1 41. Sonnds fun ny, but ) that's the bat business." Mr. Dodge told ot the work from tha growing tree to the fin ished, smoothly roaaded product. He goes lato the woods and se lects the trees he wants to use. Then a boring test is made to see if tbe wood Is good or if it ta too brittle. Only the white part ot the wood is good. The tree Is then cat down aad sawed Into 40-inch By Jack Sords ERNIE 'ABsARPI, Ca&sjttflSft&v , CATCHER - Th : fUfnV Tqwr SftM MMf4 leAats Os1tMs OB IT g Shilallahs baseball bats be has manufactured which he believes wui have a ra to Most People, Is a two Years Task lengths. The ends are treated at once with a special preparation to prevent checking. Mr. Dodge ex plained that it seemed dificult for people to understand that a tree which had been cut a long time before it Is treated is no good. After treating the 40-inch lengths are sawed into three-inch squares. Again the wood Is treat ed with a special process to pre vent case hardening. Two years go by la curing and tempering. Then the wood is ready for turn ing on the automatic lathe. Sand ing and branding coma next. Another 24-hour process of oil treatment is used and the bat goes to the buffer. Lengths -are stamp ed on the handle, the neck Is cut out and the ends treated to hold moisture content. . To the novice all bats msy look alike. But there seem to be as many bat models as there are mo dels in a beauty contest. Mr. Dodge says he has made a hundred different kinds himself. Some hare slender necks, some heavier, some are long, some short. There are other differences, too. Players of ten carefully select their own bats and have their names stamped on the handles. . The brand oa the bat should be turned upwards daring battery. aays Mr. Dodge. It won't break easily that way, he explains. He also says that many batters won't give the bat a fair chance: they hold it wrong. "Aad oae thing more, ha grins. "fans don't give the bats their due either. They give all the credit to the player.
