Ruins Baseballers, Claim. Where, in this rebirth, will fit the game that has dominated Sa lem summer sports for six years -softball? There Is a fine ques tion, and a delicate one. It's especially delicate because: 1. Carl Mays, who opens his baseball school here in May, will have absolutely nothing to do with a youngster who ' per sists in playing softball. : 2. Ethan Grant, the Junior Legion coach, has already gone on record to the t effect that boys who expect to 'play Legion ball will have to quit softball. These two, and many another, claim softball ruins baseball play ers. To back up their arguments, they cite such cases as that! of Roy Cullenbfne, the Detroit out fielder declared a free agent by Judge Land is and snapped up (for 125,000) by Brooklyn. Cul lenbine, it ia alleged , by baseball men, would have reached the ma jors three years before he did if it had not taken him that long to gel rid of softball habits. ' ; These baseball influences . will undoubtedly hurt the flow of young material into soft ball. But, on the other hand, then: is nothing jto prevent one time ' baseballers from playing softtialL The best softball play- ers on Salem teams, and else where, have learned the rudi ments of the game by playing baseball at some time or other. To be right frank, most of them started playing softball when they grew beyond active base ball age. - Many Switch, Pronto. - ; The-Salem Softball association is going right ahead with its sum mer program, almost in the same Tein it . would have had not or ganized baseball made Its debut. Whether it will make its way in the -face of: that competition is something yet to be determined, but is distinctly questionable. Softball built up a tremen dous following in Salem. The 10-cent fee made the swiftly moving entertainment it pro-; Tided within grasp of the or-" dlnary family, while the or dinary family will not be able " to afford nightly appearances,, . at 85 and .80 cents per head, to baseball games. Not, at least, - if there are -many ,beads ' A great many members of the softball clientele have been dyed- in - the - wool baseball fans .who merely accepted the Imitation in lien of the real-McCoy, however, and these, you may be sure, are going to the baseball games. Try and' keep such men as Ben Pade, Dr. L. E. Barrick, C..L. "Mack" McLin, H. V. Collins and Cliff rarEer most of whom at some time directly! sponsored softball from taking their foremost affec tions out to Waters park. Or, if you will, "Dad' Byers, Steve Stone, and others too many to . mention all of whom were regular, sitters-lit at softball ses sions who have already made preparations to switch all their attentions to baseball, now that they hare some baseball to which to switch them. - Softball as ra recreational game is unbeatable, and as such should haven Very definite place place; in any community.

Husky Orrin Davis, the 21-year-old Hillsboro youngster whom Portland released after a looksee in spring "camp at Pullerton, al lowed only one ball to be hit out of the infield on him. That was a poke into centerfield by Bobby Daggett in the final stanza, Davis whiffed four and walked nary a one, and outside of Daggett the only man to reach base on him did so on an error. After the shaky first, Brewer settled down to pitch one-hit ball for the next three frames. Roy Helser took over for the Willam ettes in the fifth and gave his Sen ator teammates but three blows in four heats. Lanky Ole Soinila pitched four hitless innings, only Walden and Shlnn reaching him for singles, both In the fourth inning.
