. , Forgive, please. If we don't
seem to see orer this Pendleton
pitching phenomenon ; H a r t e J
G riff in, Jong enough .to babble
about j something elie for a
change, bat the youngster's rec
ord , has ns so amazed we can't
' forget It.
As yo remember.' Griffin
T'-V'. - first 'appeared 'in' Salem last
year'ij. the 1BOT "Mate softball
tournament. He saw service In
7"' wo -games, his team -dropping
- ' it's semifinal ?ame when he
was unable to pitch because of
. ' hiareMctono beliefs." a-
So. with those two games and
with the two he has worked so
f - far this year. Griffin has pitched
- I, , - . a total of four tournament soft
ball games In two years. Two
were seven Inning affairs and two
, were the full route of nine frames,
',, for a total of 32 Innings.;
In those 32 innings he al
, . lowed a total of two unearned
runs, six very scratchy hits,
; ,, i . struck out 63, issued seven
j r - bases on balls and only 15 men
k , reached base. Needless to say,
" he has won each of his four
-. -i- . starts.
. Some Introduction I ;
Griffin was Introduced to 6tate
tournament fans Tuesday night of
the 1939 tournament, when he
pitched a seven-inning, 4-to-0 win
over McMlnnvilie. He gave up
. ' - y ..one Infield hit a bunt allowed
' three others to reach base and
struck out 14.
t ' ' He pitched his second game of
the 1939 meet against Albany
i two nights later, winning 4-1. -The
- single tally scored on a walk, a
, wild . pitch and two errors. He
; 1 K'd If 4 allowed five to- reach base
j ' , and was touched for two scratch
' "singles.
This year he opened up with
no-run, no-hit effort in beat
ing our KenaedyKids 2 to 0.
He whiffed 14Cand the only
. softball soul to reach base did
so on a boot.
Thursday night he turned Ore
gon City 'away, 4-1, striking out
an even 20 (two under the tour
ney record) and allowing seven
to reach base. Three of those did
so via the barrage of three blows
be allowed, one of which blooped
in there just over the third base
man's head, another of which
blooped in just back of second
i base and the third of which was
a tremendous twisting line drive
Into the dirt three feet in front
of home plate and eluded efforts
of the catcher and pitcher to scoop
it up.
Griffin's earned run mark,
1 compiled against what were sup
posed to have been four of the
state's best softball clubs. Is still
sero sero, sero. Yes, excuse us,
please, If we don't seem able to
see around this flinging phenom.
Let George Do It.
i Once more George Scales made
good on his reputation as the
greatest clutch player any Oregon
I softball tournament ever saw, as
Thursday night he crossed up one
of the sweetest softball aggrega
tions In this seventh annual meet,
the Bonneville Engineers, to bunt
home the tally that gave Square
Deal a 4-3, unearned win.
Chiefly .through the - clutch
playing for Scales, Salem has
twice won state championships.
Playing for Fades in 1934,
Scales figured la the scoring of
both runs that beat out Biff
Georgesen and his Enke Dye
mates, 2-0, in the titular tiff.
He scored the first, after work
" Ing Georgesen for a walk, and
drove In the second with a blaz
ing b ingle.
Again in 1938, playing for the
Papermakers, it was Scales' dar
ing; base running that led to the
run which enabled the 'Makers to
. beat out Rotary Bread, 3-2, In
j 18 innings, after his squeeze bunt
had tied the score at 2-2 in the
ninth. -
i Thursday night's clutch play
was a typical Scales' act. With
the score tied, runners on first
and second and two away,
v Scales took a terrific swing at
the first 'pitch, a low one that
, went for a wild pitch to ad
; vance both runners. The next
. pitch he poked down the first
. base line for an easy infield
lilt that broke up the ball game.

Judge Landis ! Is on
Lope Again
. CHICAGO. Aug. 23-GP)-Kene-saw
M. Landis, commissioner of
baseball, cracked down hard to-
- flay on club owner control or in
timidation of umpires as a sltua-
. tion he termed "saturated with
' evil and peril to baseball's wel
fare.? I Bluntly warning "such miscon
duct, hereafter will result In in
eligibility of every club or league
official participating therein."
Landis fined the -Michigan State
league ISOO. for dismissing. Um
pire .Bob Williams after a July
th controyersy between Williams
and Burleigh Grimes, manager of
P the Grand Rapids club.-.
- The ' altercation, in . . which
' Crimes? was accused of spitting
-- , tobacco Juice in the arbiter's face,
fwas followed by Grimes being
fined 50 and suspended five
lays by T. J. Halligan, league
.president Judje William , Bra-
ham, president of the National
Association of Minor Leagues,
ruled, punishment inadequate and
Grimes, f subsequently, was sus
pended for a year.
Landis said the Grand Rapids
club, at a league meeting July
29, moved that Williams be dis
charged ; for "Inefficiency , - even
though X no complaint of Ineffi
ciency or, for any other nature
had . been ; made against the um
pire.' The i commissioner said the
real reason for Williams dis
charge was the tact he had re
ported the Grimes incident to
Judge Braham, an action gener
ally resented by .club owner as
"bad publicity" for the league.
-' Ordering : the league to pay
Williams to the end of the sea
son and also ' pay . him through
any leagueplayoff which may de
velop, the commissioner said::
- "Baseball requires absolutely
1 ,
honest umpiring. Most emphatic
ally, that demands that umpires
be entirely free of any sort of
Intimidation, control, domination
or Influence by officials of clubs
affected . by thetr decisions. . . .
.."Who ..would or could expect
honest decisions on the ball field
from- an ,' umpire Intimidated by
fear that his calling a play as he
sees it may cost him his lob,
Or from an umpire ; obliged . be
fore rendering a decision to con
sider which of the two , dubs
competing in the game la more
powerful in the league's politics
or more apt to bring about his
retention! or discharge . . . It
is insufferable that any club or
combination of clubs should pro
cure, or threaten to seek to pro
cure, the discharge or an umpire
in revenge for a decision or for
action his duties require him to
make, as in thli case.' -
By RON GEMMELL
The manner in which our snap
py Senators (yes, I said snappy)
employed the hit-and-run, stole
bases and forced the Issue to bag
a 7 to 2 Western International
league baseball victory from Ta
coma's untlgerish Tigers last
night wasn't in the least indica
tive of a team that had Just drop
ped three games straight, seven
of its last eight and . was pre
cariously close tot losing all hope
of gaining back fourth place.
They had it last night, did the
Legislators. 1 They manufactured
baseball law from the opening
canto on, taking a three-run lead
then - and punching home v single
runs in each of the second, sixth,
seventh and eighth frames.
?i j j They. Steal. Bases! ;
-Probably he ' most startling
feature was the fact they pilfered
seven bases, including a theft of
the home hassock by Antelope
Al Llghtner on the double steal
play that has many times before
been employed against the Scions
but never by them.
The win, accomplished behind
the steady pitching of' young Dell
Oliver, shoved the Lawmakers
back into fourth position and
once more gives them opportun
ity to make the Shaughnessy
playoffs which begin Septem
ber 9.
Believe it or no, the hit-and-run
went on Immediately after
Freddie Knoll drew a pass as the
first Solon to face young Johnny
Linde, who earlier In the season
was himself a Senator. And the
Lawmakers continued to force the
play from there on, taking ad
vantage of every possible scoring
opportunity.
' Wild William Harris gave indi
cation be, too, might be snapping
out of the terrific batting slump
that has mirrored the entire club's
nosedive. He pounded home the
first run with a sharp bingle and
added another one-base, knock
and a double to his night's stand
at the plate.
Oliver Ends DroutJh
The win also ended a long, long
victory drouth for Oliver, who
struck out seven Bengals and
stayed ahead of his hitters better
than he has since early season.
Freddie Knoll's free canter, his
stolen base and Harris' hammer
to center scored number one for
the Solons in the first. They add
ed a pair that frame on Light
ner's fielder's choice that forced
Harris. Coscarart's single that
sent Llghtner to third, the double
steal that counted the Antelope
and Cliff Barker's bingle that
scored Brother Steve.
Salstrom walked, Oliver beat
out a bunt for a hit and Harris
singled to drive in a second inn
ing run. The sixth frame tally,
which came after the Tigers tal
lied their only two in their half,
was scored via Eddie Wilson's
double, the second of his three
stolen bases and Johnny Llnde's
walk.
Shinn, Salstrom Team
Salem's own Lee Shinn and
Phil Salstrom teamed to blast
home a seventh Inning score,
Shinn doubling hard to right and
Salstrom following with a triple
down the rightfield foul line.
Coscarart's double brought
home the eighth heat run, scor
ing Wilson, who had walked and
again stolen second.
Tacoma's two counters came on
the first of three walks Oliver is
sued, together with bingles by
O'Brien and Farrell. followed by
Brenner's infield out.
Bud Brewer and Roy Helser,
Salem's two aces, have received
Skipper Bunny Griffiths' nod for
mound duty in tonight's double
header. Brewer is slated for the
fuU length bill, beginning at 7:15.
and Helser for the seven atansa
afterpiece.

Handicap Winner
Shatters 98 of 100 Discs
to Take Grand American;
i Mrs. Hall Wins
VANDALIA, O., Aug. 23HTV
West Virginia boasted its first
grand American handicap trap
shoot winner today, as E. H.
Wolfe, 38-year-old Charleston
auditor, broke 98 of 100 over
the windswept traps here to take
the big finale of the 41st annual
clay target carnival.
The feminine laurels went to
Mrs. Lela Hall of Stransburg,
Mot, who cracked 95 of 100. Wolfe
fired from 2S yards, and Mrs.
Hall from 22, as they bested the
field of 827, second largest entry
in the last decade.
Drama Lacking
The usual drama of the "roar
ing grand" was missing because
the winners hung up their scores
early and the marks stood up the
remainder of the day as a heavy
wind caused the flying clays to
do tricks.
G. H. Oswald of Columbus won
the professional championship
with 97 of 100 from 22 yards,
while four hot-shots tied with 97
for second place behind Wolfe in
the amateur race. They were
Paul Hiestand of KJllsboro, O.,
brother of the famous Joe; Fred
Waldock of Sandusky, O., J. T.
Platts of Scenery Hill, Pa., and
O. Lindberg of Grand Rapids,
Mich.
In the shoot-offt Platts won
second place, Waldock third,
Lindberg fourth and Hiestand
fifth.
The victory was worth about
$2100 to Wolfe.

Pendleton
Goes Down 15
to 2
While this seventh annual state softball shebang- began
with 16 crack teams which came from all over Oregon, th
titular tiff tonight at 9 o'clock finds neighbors with no morg
than 40 miles separating them fighting for the crown.
, It's Salem's Square Dealers, twice before finalists but
never champions, and the Corvallis ! Elks, who last night
gained well-earned decisions over
Pendleton's Elks and the Port
land Firemen, who vie for the big
mux.
Corvallis's - fighting crew out
lasted the fire waddles of Port
land. S to 2. in 11 Innings.. with
Catcher Dally driving home all
three counters. m .
It's Singer's 10th
-Salem's Dealers, going against
the Griffinless Pendletons for the
second successive year in the
semifinals, walked off .with . an
easy IS to 2 decision behind the
eight-hit hurling of Henry Singer,
who posted -his 10th tournament
victory in seven years ot mouna
work.
. The Firemen took an early .lead
over Corvallis,. scoring once in the
third frame as Pitcher" Biiyea
walked - and romped h o-m e on
Shortstop Guthridge's triple ' Into
right field. The Portlanders scor
ed another tally in the rourtn.
DeaBoulIon led off the Inning with
a walk and took second on a pass
ed ball. He went to third on
Forbes outfield fly and scored
when Bee son rapped out an infield
single.
The boys front Corvallis came
Karfir In their half Xlt lhB fourth
tot itie. ihlags up on i three i base
blows.' Hard-hitting Carl Axelson,
Corvallis centerfielder, smashed
out a double, oneef his four hits
for the night, to start the rany,
Pitcher Elwin McRae, next up,
was walked. Burgess infield hit
filled the bases and Catcher Daily
slapped a single Into left to drive
in the tying runs.
Pendleton was never in the
game after the first inning of the
nightcap. 'Square Deal scored
three runs in that frame and dup
licated that teat In the fifth, sixth
and seventh Innings. The Dealers
scored two more in the third and
one in the fourth for their 15-run
total.
The hapless Elks from Pendle
ton were able to score single runs
in only the first and eighth Inn
ings. The first frame score came
on two hits and a fielder's choice,
while the other tally scored on a
walk, a hit. and a fielder's choice.
Chuck DeAutremont with a
double and two singles In- five
trips topped the 12-hit attack on
