V. I nnl Perhaps you wouldn't recognize the fact by what our Sena tors haven't been doing to it, but trf& Wenatchee pitching staff is supposed to be all shot to pieces. ... Big Ken Jaeobsen threw his arm out in a 12-inning stand against" Spokane last Sunday, Russ Christopher has been nursing an ailing flipper for quite a spell and Milo Candini has been on the shelf for 10 days with a kink in his serving apparatus . . . That's why the Chiefs picked up Oolie Soinila. whom the Yaks were turning loose.

The Washington Redskins, who train in Spokane, will travel 7229 miles before their season actually opens . . . They take a cross-country swing after breaking up training. O Best Year in Six for Danny Escobar Big Danny Escobar, the Wenatchee outfielder now in our community to wreak what havoc he. can upon Senator citizens of the mound, is experiencing his best year in professional base ball since breaking in, as a bid of 17, with Lake Charles of the Evangeline league in 1935 . . . The 23-year-old husky, who started as a protege of the Cincinnati Reds, is currently just eight points off the Western International batting pace that is being set by Tacoma's Tony Firpo. The young California Portuguese began as a pitcher, but unlike some of the other crooked arms, realized his mistake early and shifted to an outfield patrol . . . Last year with Water loo in the Three-I Escobar hit but .275, and currently the 1940 season is his best since his first year out "Now that Wade Williams has once again herded his Phar macy kids of Portland into the finals, all four teams that will begin battling for Oregon's 1040 Junior Legion baseball cham pionship at Hillsboro next Saturday are known . . . It's Hills boro, the host team, representing the Willamette valley; Lincoln Pharmacy, representing Portland; Burns, representing eastern and central Oregon; and Eugene, representing southern Oregon. Charlie Davis, the Papermaker bossman, returned from the paper festival at Camas last week, where Salem's Paper makers captured the softball championship, with a conviction mat the Salem association should adopt the national associa tion's 60-foot bases and 45-foot pitching distance. o Will Thinks Lots of the Beavers After raking the Schefter ownership over the coals with unsparing adjectives. Will Connolly Of the San Francisco Chron icle goes all out in his estimation of the entire Portland Beaver setup . . . Writes Connolly: "The Schefters, sincere but unlearned in the ways of baseball, reckoned that once a club won ' a pennant it should continue to reign for-the next 10 years without having its oil changed. - A - "Sale of the franchise to Other hands may Jerk. Portland from limbo, a critical situation that concerns the welfare of the entire league . . . Frankly, we sympathize with the Schefters' plight but wouldn't be willing to take the franchise off their hands if we had the capital, for, in addition to a new club, this city needs a new stadium. 'm "The Vaughan street park is a museum piece built of tim bers carried cross country by the Meeker expedition . . . You have to walk upstairs, then downstairs, then upstairs again to reach apowder room not approved by Good Housekeeping." With just one more game left in the regular league schedule, it appears Square Deal's Rudy Gentzkow ha3 the batting cham pionship of the City softball loop all cinched up . . . Brother Rudy is atop the pack with a .478 average and his only real competitor at this stage of the circuit is the Pheasants' premier bunter. Bunny Bennett Although it has been rumored he wouldn't hold his Job long, it will be hard for the Tacoma owners to demote Manager Bobby Garretson in light of the fact that the Bengals up to yes terday had won 25 games to 15 lost under the new skipper . . . What's more, they look to be on their way to overtaking Spo kane. o Yes, Reckon Solons Are in a Slump Yes, I think our Senators are in a slump . . . For a while there I wasn't certain, but the evidence points pretty sharply toward such . . ;A slump (or if you have another name for it i r i 1:1 i x i i il t J 'i 1 1. .1 - you are ui ptfiiti jujtfi ly iu uaa 11 mui uutrou 1 iuu& us uiuuvu it might end short of the cellar. Currently our Solons have a cleanup hitter not cleaning up anything with the possible exception of a few beer bars, a second baseman not- hitting his hat -catchers and keystone combinations that seem to think the double steal is unstoppable and about four gentlemen who evidently have never been told that hustle is some 50-odd per cent of this game of baseball. For the last five weeks our Solons have displayed about as much will to win as did France ... They play good ball until things get "croocial" and then, bang they go . . . Their most glaring fault is that they're allowing the opposition to put the pressure on them instead of exerting a little of their own. Our gentle chiding of Mel Cole for his bit of umpiring in Friday's game didn't keep that young gentleman from turning in a second base - performance yesterday that is probably a league record . . . Cole, really a catcher, took care of 12 chances without an error while handling Skipper Morehouse's 2b stand. Radcliff Tops American Stickers; f Panning Still Leads in National CHICAGO, .

IP (ID RON GKUIVELL Editor Salem Oregon. Sunday Morning August 4, 1143 By FRANK EL CAREY BOSTON, Aug. 8-ff-The "Big Slug" made believe he was read ing the newspaper. But he wasn't kidding anyone. The boys all knew that he waa thinking as were they of the "Little Slug.- The Cincinnati Reds baseball players were sitting In the hotel room of BUI MeKechnte, their manager. That is, they were all there but one, Willard Hershber ger, their second string catcher- He had committed suicide a few" hours before. Slashed his throat with a razor blade, the coroner said. "Hershey" was the "Little Slug." He got that monicker out In Cincy, the boys said, where the town loved him as a scrappy plncnhltter. They called him that to distinguish him from. Irili Lombardi. the first string catcher. Ernie's the "Big Slug." Paasea Are) .Lowe Yeah, the "Big Sing" made be lieve he was reading a newspaper. He must have known the weather report by heart because his eyes were on It about ten minutes. Bat then, the "Big Slug" had some thing to do with his hands. The other boys dldnt . . . Big, bronned "Hank Gowdy, the Reds' coach, just diddled with his finger nails, and shook his head. A couple of the other boys seemed to be memorizing the numbers on their hotel keys. They tapped the keys on the sides of their chairs during pauses in the talk. And the pauses were long ones ... Remember whensT Surs Someone mumbled something about the time "Hershey" was all excited about getting that new antenna. "Gee, he waa a bug on radio." "Great guy for collecting guns. too." said another. The keys tapped. "Big Slug" rustled his paper to make It look good. Bill McKeehnie moved to another chair and threw his leg over It. He had 'tried all the emp ty chairs in the clace. jmi Tefc to7 Because Bill knew an of the story he had had to tell It to everyone, the players, the boys from the newspapers and all the rest. Yes, said BIU, he had an Idea something was wrong yesterday when Hershey waa catching the nightcap ot the donbleheader. "There was a swinging bunt that Hershey conld have fielded himself." he said, "but he let it roll and the pitcher had to field it." ' "Afterwards, I put my hands on his shoulders, and his eyes were Just popping out of his head. "I said to him, 'Hershey, dya see that tuft of grass. That's where Moore had to field that ball. Anything wrong?' And he said to me 'Yes, Bill, there's plen ty. I'll tell you tonight.' " And Bill could remember, he said, how he took "Hershey" Into the grandstand after the game when the fans had gone home and tried to get the story. But no dice. Worried About Losing "He didn't teU me until last night Just before dinner," said Bill. "He cried like a kid. Seems he cried an hour. And then he told me he was worried about the club losing the games that he had caught. "The poor kid. He was worked up particularly about that game we lost B to 4 to New York Wed nesday night In the ninth inning. He said he thought he had called for the wrong pitches. I told him everything was okay, and he seemed all right. "Then he went downstairs and ate a helluva dinner. Roast beef and everything." Bill said that all the boys knew that "Hershey" kind of worried about colds and things. Carried a lot of medicine around with him. "But shucks," he said, "outside of that you'd think he wouldn't have a care In the world. He'd have been first string on many another ball club.

Helser was responsi ble for but two of the runs and that l conntlns: one that came in on vet another one of thoee a on ble steal affairs that our Senators couldn't ston with the fourth inriT corns. It is true, all right, that Hel ser walked home the tying ana winning runs In that ninth Inning splurge ot the Chiefs, but it is Just as true that the side snouia have been retired before he Issued either free pass. Co mine into the first ot the ninth with a 4-3 lead. Helser forced Plnehhltter rrankle More house to dribble down third. where Antelope Llghtner scooped the nugget and then tossed wide to Harris to allow Morehouse life. Still la there pitching, Helser got Ratto out, Griffiths to Harris, after wild pitching Morshouse to second. Baker Gets Win Then Cole singled and Arnold Trailer drove Morehouse home with a double to left. Helser In tentionally passed Escobar, the league's second high batsman, and then whiffed Bonettl for what should have been the third out. But. alack and alas, he then dished np consecntira free Jour neys to Tolpi and Jewell to force home the tying and winning counters. ' Sad Sam Baker, former Uni versity of Washington lefthander the Chiefs signed some 19 days ago. received credit for the win despite the fact Elmer Singleton pitched the last halt ot the ninth after he was lifted for a pinch hitter. Baker, showing a big hook that was especially bothersome to Salem's leftside swingers, al lowed but seven hits and responsible for . bnt three of the four Salem runs. Double Steal Again The Chiefs trotted in their first run on the double steal. Ratto counting It In the third as Barker's throw through to Grif fiths hardly got as far aa the pitcher's mound.

Brother Steve Celded Eaco bar's single cleanly on the first hop to peg out Trailer at the plate. Our Senators evened the count In the fifth, etaglng a whirlwind rally of two walks, an infield out and a balk to get their score.
