JOHNNY WILLIAMS ing of the bowling balls.
A bowknot battle is forthcoming in Coast conference circles
. . . Uncle Hec Edmundson, the Husky hoop boss who has lbng
been a bow tie wearer of the first, second and third waters, now
"has a challenger in Francis Schmidt, Idaho's new gridihon gen
eralissimo. '
Johnny Williams, the likeable lad who, as an optionee irom
the San Diego Padres, did some backstopping for our Senator
.,-;r,tf tht. last half of the 1940 season, is now with Elmira of
the class A. Eastern loop . . . Johnny, released by San Diego, signed
with Buffalo and was farmed to Elmira . . . Funny thing about
Johnny, he was "all wood and no leather" instead of "all leather
and no wood,'' as the saying goes . . . The kid could clout the apple
but couldn't find his niche in the defensive scheme.

Friend iVo Likee Referee Setup
So far, Skipper Bunny Griffiths has failed in his efforts to
get Happy Howard Maple, rolypoly prince of the business office,
into a Senator uniform . . . The Skip thinks his training program
would show amazing results if he had Maple, as well as Pitcher
Gene Fenter, to work on.
All is not yet milk and honey for the Tony Kahut-Leo Turner
battle, as is indicated by a note from Farmer John Friend, Who
says he won't have any part of the show if Ralph Gruman is to
be the third man in the arena . . . "Now that Frisco Edwards is
gone," writes Kahut's manager, "we'll be satisfied with Tom
Loutitt of Portland or Les Eastman of Silverton, but we can't
afford to risk Gruman after the bad deal he gave us in the first )
Barlund fight." i
Farmer Friend, who has nursed Terrible Tony along like
a baby, says his protege is hitting so hard he can't find sparring
partners to stay in with him, and that he's in the best physical
trim of his life ... "I never saw Tony work so hard he wants that
shot at Al Hostak very much and doesn't intend to let Turner get
in the way of it."
Earl Hampton, Molalla's all-round athlete, is all set for
Compton JC if he wants to go there, reports Antelope Al Light -ner,
who fixed things for Earl at the California junior college
. . . "Hampton told me last fall he wanted to go to a junior col
lege," says Al, "so when I was home I told my old coach about
him. If he wants to go, it's all set."
Bunny Griffiths, the Solon pilot, is one of those rare individ
uals who believes anger improves nothing but the arch of a cat's
back, and acts accordingly ... He has yet to be seen with a mad on.

Horse SIioic Building No Answer
While Clark Shaughnessy, the amazing Stanford coach, does
his many play charts in red, blue, green and lavender, Jeff
Cravath, the new San Francisco U mentor, says the financial
strain allows him the use of but two crayons, blue for defensive
position and red for offensive position . . . However, Cravath gets
down as many touchdowns on paper.
Apparently, all of Champion Joe Louis' fights now fall into
two divisions class A and class B . . . Class A: Joe disposes of
his man quickly and is the butt of criticism for having the nerve
to fight a stumblebum who doesn't belong in the same county
with him . . . Class B: Joe fights for six, eight or 13 heats and reads
he is slipping and isn't much of a champ any longer.
Jack Woodard, the Lebanon coach who, as First Lieutenant
Woodard, expects to be called into the service by the time school
is out this spring, thinks he has quite a pitching prospect in Simp
son, a husky righthander who finishes high school this year . . .
"The kid has worlds of swift," says Jack. "I'd like to see him get a
chance to play summer ball some place, where he'd have an op
portunity to get needed experience."
Frankly, this department doesn't think the horse show build
ing at the state fairgrounds the answer to the need of a basket
ball pavilion in Salem . . . The cost of a removable floor, cost of
sn adequate heating plant and cost of installation of shower facili
ties and dressing room requirements would entail an investment
which could be much more profitably spent in remodeling Wil
lamette U's own court, which is centrally located. j
Few removable floors of the type that would be necessary
Jn the horse show building ever prove entirely successful . . .
Ask anyone who has tried to play on the University of Wash
ington floor.

Quits Baseball
BY RON G EMM ELL
Statesman Sports Editor

Our Salem Senators ivere in
receipt of two messages; Satur
day, one good and one bad.
The first: From President E.
J. Schefter of the Portland
Beavers, stating that Catcher
Eddie Adams is now the pro
perty of the Senators, sent here
in payment for Outfielder Eddie
"Wilson.
The second: From Wild William
Harris, saying he is quitting base
ball and asking to be placed on
the suspended list.
Catcher Adams, said Schefter,
would report to Salem in a day
or two. He is coming north with

from Silverton whom the Beavers
are anxious to place but who has
been turned down by the Sena
tors. !
Harris' decision to quit base
ball caused Business Manager
Howard Maple and Skipper Bun
ny Griffiths to immediately start
burning the wires in search of an
outfielder.
The Senators, who Saturday
moved their camp to the fair
grounds' machine ' sheds,! ' under
cover, are scheduled to work out
in their own park at 12, noon, to
day. Visitors are welcome.
Owen May Come
Providing that Pitcher Del Oli
ver is sent here by San Diego and
that Pitcher George "Thej Duke"
Windsor comes from Seattle, our
Senators are fairly well fixed in
every department except the one
outfield hole, where a lefthanded
hitter of the power variety is
sorely needed.
The infield, as it now! stands,
would shape up with Al Lightner
at first, the natural position for
the hustling Californian who was
general utility man last season;
Fred Lanifero, who comes on op
tion from San Diego, at second;
the Little Skipper at short, and
Lee Shinn at third. j
Barker Set ' ,
Cliff Barker, who should have
a much better season, is j all set
to " understudy Adams, who can
also do a turn in the outfield if
needed.
The pitching staff at present
includes Southpaws Roy Helser
and Gene Fenter, both the prop
erty of Salem; and Righthanders
Lee Fallin, Burton Swope and
Gordon Lieb, optionees from the
Beavers. Should both Oliver and
Windsor . be acquired, it; would
mean that one of this list would
have to be dropped. S
At present, Bob Betgstroza,
Portland optionee, and Charles
Baldy Petersen, owned byj Salem,
are the only sure-fire outfielders.
Johnny Oravec, the former Wil
lamette star, is the only other
outfield possibility in camo at this
writing. ,-

champions, the Seattle Rainiers,

A crowd of 10,420 saw lanky

His opponent Dick. Barrett the

Barrett did not permit, a hit

the Rainiers reached Stutz for a

first hit of the game.
A near riot occurred daring
the Seals' winning rally when
Jake Powell, new Seal outfield
er acquired from the NewYork
Yankees, seemingly was trapped
off first.
Powell had reached first on an
infield single and was taking a
long lead off when Catcher G illy.
Campbell whipped a quick throw
that nearly nabbed him.
From the stands it appeared
that the ball beat Powell to the
bag by a "foot but Umpire Widner
called Powell safe.
The entire Seattle team, led
by Us new manager. Bill Skiff,
descended upon Widner, and,
for a time, It looked like fists ,
might fly. . '
The winning run was scored by.
Powell.' . .. ;
Don White, Seals' left fielder,
singled to left and both he arid
Powell advanced a base on a wild
pitch. Then Al Steele, second
baseman, singled1 through short to
score Powell with the winning
run. ' " -
