Jo-hum. The , American
league leads, la everything.
First : St. louis becomes the
first team to lose 100 ball
games, and then the Yanks
become the first to win lOO.
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! The Salem Golf club
course Is in exceptionally fine
condition for this late in a dry
summer. His nibs, Mr. Par,
remains as elusive as ever, how-
ever, and if ever I once pin him

I ever let anyone else forget It.
Which is "a lot of evers.
Ugh! Heap Jnjnns coming
Sweet land Friday night. Play

Salem.
Pshaw. Hitler, say want peace
but fight like he want whole
world; Stalin, he say too busy
at home for war, but puts hand
In .war grab bag someone else
has opened; Mussolini, he say he
no want war, but assumes very
much Sitting-Bull pose; Chamber
lain say he no want war, and
English efforts look like it; Dala
dier say he no want war, but
follows John Bull's tail in circles:
Roosevelt, he say no want war,
but talks too d much about
same.
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.
Bishop colfld do to help the cause
of baseball more than their an
nouncement of adoption of poli
cies designed to -interest young
sters. -

To Defend Tide Eighth Time
BRIGGS STADIUM 1 Detroit. Sent 20 f API After
chasing Bob Pastor around 30 minutes and getting nowhere,
Joe Louis knocked out the ex-New. York collegian in 38
seconds of the 11th round tonight to retain his world's heavy
weight championship. Louis weighed 200 pounds; Pastor 183.
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.

came on in the eighth, ninth and
tenth, and once, in. the eighth,
had the Brown Bomber befuddled
with a two handed sally.
In his drpsing room after the
fight Pastor said he didn't see
the punch coming.''
"My eye was full of blood," he
explained, "and I was blinded.

Larry? Kelley's recent blast' in
Look was directed at something
that doesn't really exist. Kelley
criticized the Ivy league, which
in reality Is but a term given the
foursome by sports writers. . . .
Kelley's blasts are likely to prove
something less than fatal. The
teams will probably manage to
move through their schedules any
way. It Is the plan of Clyde Grew
ell, boss of the local amateurs,
to torn big Francis Shoulder

rival here. . . . Shoulderblade,
brother of young Sammy
Shoulderblade' of Chemawa, is
holder of the national amateur
trophy the Joe Louis trophy.

It's tackles that are worrying
Nig Borleske up at Whitman so
Nig and Spec will be on even
worrying basis when they meet in
Walla Walla on either the number
one or number two Thanksgiving
date. . . . Farmer John Friend,
former matchmaker for the Vets
here, predicts Curley Hopper's
first defeat nest Wednesday night.
"I think Mark Diaz is too experi
enced for young Hopper,"" Friend
states. . . Should Joe Waterman
start promoting fights in Portland,
and Herb Owens open up in Eu
gene, the fight business is due for
a boom in the Willamette valley.
. . . Johnny Peters, the Eureka
boy who fights Turner next
Wednesday, tosses 'em from the
southpaw stance. . . . It'll be some
thing new for "The Lion."
George E. Waters, boss of Sa
lem's new Senators, reveals that
very favorable reports on his ven
ture have been coming into him
from surrounding towns, even as
far away as Lebanon. . . . Maybe
this Pastor guy does have some
thing more than a bicycle. Last
night made it twice he's stayed
with Louis ten full rounds . . .
which is sub-par for that course.

Bob climbed on his "bicycle
again this time, Just as he back
pedalled in his first fight with
Louis in '37, but tonight he came
forward time after time to throw
short lefts to the face and to land
once or twice with a right hand.

Louis named the round in which
he finished his game foe. 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.
With this bout past, Louis looks
forward to a return match with
Tony Galento, who gave him a lot
of trouble for three, rounds last
June. This fight is scheduled for
next s u nwn e r . Promoter Mike
Jacobs indicated he may give Pas
tor another crack at the cham
pion, after Bob fights once or
twice more, and immediately
Jimmy Johnston, Pastor's mana
ger, asked for Galento.

out in the fifth over Chuck Cro

Vikings Vying
For Positions!
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.

MARINE BASE. San Diego, Sept.
20 (Special) -Thirty members of
the Willamette university football
squad clambered off the stream
liner Monday night after a hot
trip south from the Oregon capital
city- The 103 mark in Los Ange
les proved to be a discomfort to
the cooler- acclimated northern
team.
Due to the sudden change in
temperature encountered, a num
ber of the players are now suffer
ing from colds. Gene Stewart,
flashy half, is the most seriously
afflicted, having lost his voice en
tirely. However, it is probable he
will see action Saturday night
against the Marines, Johnny Kolb
and Maurice Lonergan, lettermen
ends, are still somewhat incapac
itated due to slight knee injuries
suffered before the Bearcats left
for the south.
Housed in Barracks
The entire team is housed on
the immediate base of the Ma
rines. All the players are lodged
in a large barrack building near
the practice field of the Marines.
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.

Bucty Walters won his 26th hurl

helped by a break when he was
hit in the back by a pitched ball.
The Reds' vaunted hitting at

they: backed up Walters' six-hit
performance in flawless fashion.
The break came when Walters,
his ; usually potent bat silent
through the day, came up to
open the ninth. One of Beck's

the shoulder blades and he took
