Gilmore, the Vik cinder master; "that "there . ever ' were such' sprinters as , Bill Smith, . Rex "Putnam, Bob Bailey arid the Williams twins,.'. . Edward Augustus Donnelly,- the bowler: man that there ever was invented such stuff as calories. On his' record, Bobby Hornig, the outfielder our Senators are procuring outright from Spokane, isn't' the answer to the load of power needed in the Solon stick parade . . . The lefthand ed hitting outfielder connected for but 30 extra bases in 362 times at bat for the Spokanes in 1939 . .". He punched 17 doubles, five triples and one home run, hitting .286 and driving in 33 runs. However, such current Solons as Charles Baldy Petersen and Antelope Al Lightner say Hornig is a fleetfooted outfielder who punches the baseball straight-away, something on the order of Dwight Aden . . . And, he does do what hitting he does do from the south side of the dish. O Prep All-Stars Average 17 "' Average age of the 1941 all-state high school hoop quint: 17 plus ... At 16, Klamath Falls' Marion Reginato, who played in the tournament three straight years, was the youngest . . . Average weight: 168 pounds, with Salem's Eddie. Salstrom the lightest at 155 and, believe it or not, Astoria's Roy Seeborg-the heaviest at 175. Reginato, who also plays a wing position in football and who heaves the iron nugget for the Pelican track and field team, intends to - follow in Brother Vic's footsteps at Oregon . . . Brother Vic, it may be remembered, was one" whale' of an end for Tex Oliver s 1938-1939 teams. OSC Coach Ralph Coleman would still like to see Bob Bergstrom give catching a trial in professional-baseball . . '. Bob, who still has a tendency to use a catcher s throw from his outfield spot, did some backstopping for Coley's 1934-35 teams, as well as some third basing and outfielding . . . Coleman thinks Bergstrom has the size, arm and smartness to go up the baseball ladder quicker as a catcher than as an outfielder. George-Farrell, who was beaten out of a third base job at Spokane last season by Nino Martinez, has been sent to Wen atchee by Seattle as a catcher . . . And Pete Jonas, the stubby ex-Whitman hurler who worked as a relief server for the In dians last season, has now decided to become an outfielder. Ex-Valsetz Teammates Lee Fallin and Leonard Younce had quite a tete-a-tete when Younce faced Fallin in the Solon-Bevo game at Corvallis Friday . . . Younce, rated one of the best line backers on the Coast for the past two seasons, received a hand some contract, calling for $165 per game from the New York Giants of pro football. O Left May not Be so Useful The long left he used so beautifully to easily decision Powder Proctor isn't likely to prove as useful to Terrible Tony Kahut against Leo Turner in their titular tiff Tuesday night . . . Much more of a stand-up fighter than Leo, Proctor was made to order for that left jab and left hook . . . Turner, who does considerably more bobbing and weaving and who is considerably quicker at counterpunching, isn't apt to be so puzzled by the left as was the Powder Kid. "Smead Jolley was, without meaning to be, one of the funniest men in baseball,"' writes Funnyman Al Schacht in his book, "Clowning Through Baseball" a book every baseball bug should by all means read . . . Schacht, who evidently hasn't heard the Big Smudge is still playing and is still very, very funny, tells a yarn on Jolley when he was playing in Boston's Fenway Park, where a steep embankment in left field caused Jolley much trouble: It s quite a trip for a good make a catch, and for Jolley it was Waterloo. Every time he'd start up he was always sure to stumble and fall down . . . Faced with the futility of it all, the manager finally decided to take Jolley out one morning and teach him how to climb. Smead was a good pupil and seemed to master it at once. "That same afternoon, during the game, a fly ball was hit to left field and Jolley, confidently, went tearing up the incline. But he got up too far. He reversed himself, started to take a couple of steps down to catch the ball, tripped and flopped headfirst . . . He returned to the bench at the end of the inning, hurt and angry: 'You're a lot of wise guys," he shouted. "You showed me how to get up the hill but nobody was smart enough to teach me how to get down."
