There'll be no rain here for
an ' 11 -day period beginning
May 19 and ending May 30, so
I have it straight from the drip
py yap of "Precipitation Pete,"
himself. . . Reason: Our Salem
Senators are on the road for
those 11' days. . . "No more
football," says Dick Weisgerber,
the ex-Bearcat boomer now
member of the WI's blind Tom
staff . . The former little all'
American fullback who has been
a member of the Green Bay Pack
ers for the past three seasons,
admits there Is money In pro
fessional football, all right, but
that it' next to impossible to
save any of it.
Johnny Oravec, who paired
with Welsrerber as Willamette
IT "Touchdown Twins" in the
1934-35-38 era, has applied to
Prexy Abel for appointment to
the vacant spot on the WI umpiring-
staff caused by the re-
cent resignation of Enter . . .
Should snuff -loving Oravec
make It, the "Touchdown
Twins" will be back together
nee more.
Not all winning pitchers are
short-game artists, as is proven
by such servers as Rapid Robert
Feller, strictly a two-hour man,
or our Roy Helser, a 2:15 man,
but skillful artists like the Coast
league's Tony Freitas and Hal
Turpin often move through nine
innings, providing the opposing
hurler cooperates, in 1:15 to 1:30
... Like Kewpie Barrett of Seat
tle, the Coast league's leading
hurler last season, Helser is given
to streaks of wildness, interrupted
by stretches of strikeouts . . . The
main thing is that both pitch win'
ning baseball.

Tony, that's all ... After him
there are two more, one in high

school, and they all like to swing
those dukes.
Goldie Desmond Holt's Pippins,
now in our town, are without the
services of Howard Johnson, the
hard-hitting, hard-throwing outfielder-pitcher
; . . . Johnson has
decided to ' accept a job in the
Tacoma shipyards that already
harbor such ex-WI luminaries as
Lefty Isekite and Bob Garrett
son . . . A puzzling growth on
the second finger of his pitching
hand, which he believed would
retard his chances of going up
the ladder, caused Johnson to de
cide to leave baseball . . . In the

Speaking of G. Desmond, the
Tak skipper, he's an inveterate
stogie smoker as well as a sign
thief , and an ardent exponent
of run-'em-ragged baseball . . .
Last year his team pilfered 154 .

Orteig Quits Bosox
Ray Orteig, whom this author
considered; the WI's best third
baseman 'last "season, was in our
town to see j his ex-Vancouver
mates drop Thursday, night's en
counter to the. Solons . . rOrteig,
owned by the Boston Red Sox,
said he had been placed on the
suspended list for failure to re
port to Greensboro In the class
B Piedmont league. .;
Orteig claims he received a
raw deal from the Bosox chain
this spring and that he will quit
baseball before hell play for a
member of the chain again . . .
I was supposed to have been
given a chance in double-A ball
this year," said Orteig. -"Instead,
they first sent me to Scranton
in the class A Eastern league and
then tried to send me to Greens
boro in the class B Piedmont I
asked them to send me back here

Spot on Card
Young Joe Kahut, younger
brother, of Terrible Tony, the ex-
middleweight boxing champion of
Oregon, gets a preliminary spot on
the May 20 benefit card at Salem's
armory, it was. announced Friday
by Promoter Tex Salkeld.
The; younger Kahut, who has
shown a world of promise in four
former appearances here,- tangles
with Johnny O'Connell of x Port
land in one of the three four
round bouts scheduled to' precede
a trio of six-rounders. !
Six-rounders include a non-ti
tle tiff between Leo Turner, the
state . middleweight champ, and
Buddy Peterson, ex-champ; a hea
vyweight go between Salem's Kel-
er Wagner and big Dan Smith of
Longview; and a lightweight bout
between Johnny Woods and Little
Dempsey. ,
that, he already is painting in the
background of the picture of what
a fine champion Buddy will make.
We i couldn't, argue with him
there, for if you're considering the
champion as Just a personality and
not on fighting ability you couldn't
ask for a nicer kid than the mild
giant with fists of iron and a heart
of cotton.' X , ,
That's just his trouble; he's
too soft-hearted for a business
which calls for a free flow of
primitive instincts. His handlers
probably realize this, far Chief
trainer Ixzy Kline Is feeding
him raw meat much as you'd
try to arouse the blood-lost m a
tiger. Baddy gets a pound of
this uncooked ground steak ev-.
ery day, mixed with a couple of
raw eggs for good measure.
But the chances are that his fare
will do no more than make Buddy
good and sick of raw meat, for he
Is by nature a kind, considerate
man and you can't turn a rabbit
into a wolf by changing his diet.
He has a chance. Anybody his
size and power has a chance. But
we don't think that all the. raw
beef on .the Texas ranges can
arouse the kUler instinqt His best
chance might be to croon a lullaby,
at that:'. ' vv
