A-ha, It looks like a fight to the finish between- Cincy's Reds and St. Louie's Cards. As wobbly as were once termed another type of Reds (hee-hee, some pan, huh!), the McKecbnie men may yet be caught by the down-the-stretch drive of Blades' boys. Whoops!

Baseball Boon to Boys. An editorial toast to baseball as citizenship builder itf given by the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin in a recent edition. . The U-B writer,. Instead of begrudg ing falem the Western Inten tional league franchise that " Walla Walla was after, sounds a note of praise for the innova tion of the knothole gang to be organized here. The knothole gang, lest you've forgotten, will.take in boys of 12 years of age or younger. One day a week, at least, the gang will be admitted without charge to games. To become a member a boy must be a good student', must agree to a dipt that include health-srivinp vegetables and must conduct him self in a gentlemanly manner. In order to obtain a membership button and card, parental signa ture will be required. Says the Walla Walla editor 11: "This all adds np to a pret ty fair basis for citizenship and it just increases the testimony In support of the fact that base ball is, truly, the great Ameri can game." - Not only, we might add, will the knothole game be subjected to same good, sound American ci tizenship principles, but will also absorb enough of the "great Am erican game to create a deeper interest in baseball than this com munity has had for some time.

After flooring Pastor four times in the first round and once In the second, Louis couIdn'tO do a thing with the back pedalling husky until his left shot out with sudden fury in the 11th: Pastor dropped, managed to. raise him self to his knees, but could not get to his feet before Referee Sam Hennessy counted the full ten. A crowd estimated at 40,000 contributed to a gross gate of around 1400,000 to see Louis successfully defend the title for the eighth time since he won It from Jim Braddock in 1937.

At the end of the tenth round Louis trotted back to his corner, he con fided to Trainer Jack Blackburn that "this next round Is the one where I'm going to get him." Louis said he never felt any of the blows that Pastor threw at him except one in the eighth a right hand punch to the head.

Lineup Still Uncertain for Opener Against Indians Friday No official communiques wero forthcoming from General Harold Hauk concerning his Salem high grid hattalions yesterday. He was too busy. Too busy directing the second successive day of scrimmage, and the last day of scrimmage before tomor row night's opener against Coach Jerry Gastineau's Chemawans. The Vikings are viciously vying for starting positions, but due to the abbreviated pre-game drill it is likely gun time will find as many veterans as possible stud ding the lineup. Possibility that Hauk may tee off with a pair of rookie tackles became apparent, however, as t or the second successive dny big Bob Boardman and bigger Norman Sholseth were given the nod in those important slots. Both worked together last year on the Sophomore Reds team, in the city intramural loop. Andrews Fallback Prospect Shining light of the scrimmage sessions has been Fullback Fred die Andrews, whose lack of fire last year caused Coaches Hauk and Cranor to appraise his work with some indifference despite the fact he was the best kicker and aerial artist on the squad. An drews, who has been displaying a lot of drive and has been con sistently hitting his recejvers with passes, may be the fair-haired boy to take over the duties so ca pably accounted for last season by Butch Nelson; The number one eleven of yes terday stationed Tom Tandy and Dave Traglio at the wings, Board- man and Sholseth at tackles. Vern Wadsworth and Dave Olson at guards, Harry Heckes in the pivot slot, Don Waller and Bill Shinn at halfbacks, Claude Swingle at quarter and Andrews at full. ROTARY GUESTS. SILVERTON. C. P.

Me&ls are eaten with the enlisted men in the main dining hall. Practice sessions -will be con ducted twice daily until game time. However, due to the intense heat, it is probable that one of the workouts will be of short dura tion. This season's Marine eleven is a formidable outfit. Sunday, they defeated the Western Bears of Los Ahgeles, 41 to 0. A quar terback by the name of A x t o n seems to be their main offensive threat.
