Washington Crews SwepM wer to Triple Victory Huskies Oai Over Favored Cal Bears Set New Records in All 3 Races By GAIL FOWLER SEATTLE, April lMFor the ninth time in the 39-year old history of the Pacific coast regatta the University of Wash ington Huskies scored a clean sweep over California's eight oared crews in a record and nerve shattering three-ply victory Saturday, The Huskies, defending Pacific coast and national rowing chain pions, made it three straight in the varsity and Jayvee races and snapped California's two - year freshman reign in the opening frosh two-mller. Only the California varsity failed to better existing records for the old Leschi-Madison park course on scenic Lake Washing ton. In both the frosh and Jay vee races, both winning and losing crews turned in better than record time, and the Wash ington varsity did likewise in the afternoon's finale. Here are the results: Varsity (Three miles) Won by Washington, three lengths, in 15 minutes, 54 seconds. Cali fornia second in 16:05. (New record, old mark of 15.58 set by Washington In 1922.) Junior varsity (Three miles) Won by Washington, seven feet, 15:55. California second in 15:55.5. (New record, old mark of 16:26.2 set by Washington in 1926.) Freshmen (Two miles) Won by Washington, six lengths, Old 'limps' Bill Klem Just a Grandstander Now, Says He Could Still Call 'Em Perfect By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, April 18 You've probably seen the last of Bill Klem on a baseball field. The old arbitrator is strictly front-office now; just, a grandstand quarter back sitting up there on the con crete terrace every day gazing blandly in slack-jowled content at the performance of his under lings. Not that the 68-year-old super Visor of umpires thinks he couldn't work a good game any more. On the contrary, he thinks If he were out there every day he'd be as good as ever. "But it just wouldn't be smart to work Just once in a while," he explains. "You've got to keep your mind on the job every day to keep up to snuff. Then too, I might call a disputed play, and be 100 per cent right. But they'd speak of my age, and that's a fact, and you can't ar gue against facts." The old arbitrator maintains that his pale, leaky eyes are as sharp as ever, but he says eye sight is greatly over-rated as an umpire's chief attribute. The chief factors are courage and decisive ness, he says. He explains for the umteenth time how his famous "line" orig inated accompanying the explana- 11 PQM'T BLACKOUT Smih.!" . . . with misting, infected or dis colored teeth.

"It was at Milwaukee in 1904, the year before I came to the National league," he says. "They told me there was one player there I couldn't handle, a big outfielder. "On the first close decision this fellow came rushing in. I didn't see him, I just felt him. I was out by the pitcher's box and I just drew a line in the dirt with my toe and walked back to the plate. I didn't say what the line was for, but he knew it, and ev erybody in the park knew it. He just came up to the line and stopped, and that was all there was to it. It was the most natural thing I ever did in my life. "Sometimes after that I'd never even draw a line, rd start walking away and then turn and say: 'Don't cross that line or yer outa the game,' and they'd stop." Klem worked in 18 games last year, eight championship games and 10 exhibitions, "or the other way around." He won't work a game this year if he can help it. He gets many applications from fellows who want to be umpires. One applicant in particular took his fancy. This gent knew his rules backward and forward, but had no experience. Klem told him to start in the minors. The fellow got a job, and after the season bustled into Klem's office. He wore a long raincoat, which he stripped off to disclose his blue umpire's uniform. "I'll show you what I can do," he said, and immediately went into his umpiring routine, com plete with gestures, ending with the baffling information: "I've got a line two-foot high in my living room to practice balls and strikes, and I'm three degrees faster than Stark." It was this same gent who, voluntarily working an exhibition game down south, explained to Klem the reason he, the gent, was wearing his chest protector out side" his coat, instead of inside as Klem does. "When I'm working for a Na tional league club I wear it In side, and for an American league club I wear it outside," he elucidated. Klem. who "never called one wrong in my life," will be missed from the active scene. The stooped little man provid ed a splash of color for a eol- orless job. Scio Schedules Two Meetings SCIO Food nutrition is to be discussed at the Scio high school building at 8 p. m. April 21 by Mrs. Kathleen Ball, nutrition spe cialist, Oregon State college. ; Concurrent with this meeting but in another room at the school house, F. C Mullen, Linn county agent, will address all persons in terested In rural volunteer fire units. SCIO Bette une Withers has been selected salutatorian for commencement at Scio high school May 28. Dale Weber will be vale dictorian. Mrs. P. W. Schrunk, junior member of the local board of edu cation, is substituting in the fifth and sixth grades. Mrs. Selden still is with her sick mother in Port land. Mrs. Cruzan's post is in charge of Ethel Zysset Thayer; who has taught in various districts in Linn county in recent years. . California second in (New record, old mark set by Washington in 10:20.5. 10:43.3. 10:44.4 1926.) Although slightly favored to win, nobody expected Washing ton to coast in to a three length victory over the sun-tanned giants from Berkeley in the varsity race. The "boss race" of the day, however, was the Washington Jayvee victory. Not given a chance by the predictors, the Husky Jayvees finally squeexed through by seven feet in a tussle in which there never was open water between the two 60-foot cedar stogies. And the Jayvees rowed the three-mile course in only one second slower time than did the Washington var sity. As a matter of fact, the Cal. Jayvees turned in far better time than did their first boat, being 9-5 seconds faster. Rowing at 36 strokes to the minute to California's 38, the Washington varsity jumped into a 10-foot lead in the first minute and held a half length lead at the mile mark, after settling back into a comfortable 31. The Huskies stretched it to a length and a half at the two mile buoy and picked up an other length by the time they reached the two and a half mile mark. Cox Vic Fomo of Wash ington, who's never barked a losing race, turned to look over his shoulder at the struggling Calif ornians at that point, then told his bladesmen to "keep 'er at 31" and coast in. Beavers Buy 'Cowbof Tate PORTLAND, Ore., April 18 (JP)-E. J. Schefter, president of the Portland Coast league base ball team, Saturday announced the purchase of Pitcher John Tate. Tate, a right-hander, won 12 and lost 9 games for Vancouver of the Western International league last year. Schefter said the purchase was conditional, depending on Tate's showing with the Beavers. Chamber Head, Others Named SILVERTON J. H. McCullough was elected president of the Sil verton chamber of commerce by the board of directors, according to information given Saturday. ; O. E. Royer, who was elected president at the annual meeting held in December resigned this week, his resignation to take ef fect at once. Royer gave "too many other duties'..' as the reason for his resignation. No membership meetings have been held since the United States' entrance into war, but the board of directors has been meeting once a month.

Women's Club Entertained AUMSVILLE The Woman's club meeting at the home of Mrs. Luta Fuson Thursday with Mrs. Ed Wallace assisting. Guests were Mrs. Bess Miller, Mrs. Nichols, Albany; Mrs. E. Towle, Mrs. Charles Martin, Mrs. Bland Speer, Minnie Peterson, Mrs. William Forgey, Mrs. E. Klein, Mrs. George White, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. R. T. Mountain, and the hostess, Mrs. Luta Frison.

For the past two years they have resided here in the Ross Clark house, recently purchased by David Eastburn. Mrs. Ed Rush left Wednesday for the state tuberculosis hospital where she will be employed. Officers Elected For School Club BUENA CREST The following officers were elected to serve in the Buena Crest school club for the last month of this term: Presi dent, Betty McCormick; secretary, Edward Diem; substitute, Betty Messman; playground inspectors, Marguerite Whitney and Betty Diem. The upper grade spelling honor roll for the past week includes Betty Diem, Charles Asbury, Hel en Ritchey, Glen Jones, Donald Meithof, Edward Diem, Carl Field, FJdon Beckner, Barbara Robert son and Betty Messman. Buena Cresta softball team played the Brooks team on their diamond Friday.- The score was 14 to 20 in favor of Brooks. All-Speed Card For Tuesday's Grapple Goes Matchmaker Don Owen an nounces that a double main event will headline his all-speed wrestl ing show at the Armory Tuesday night f Red-headed Mickey McGulre, one time Salem mat favorite, but who has not appeared here in some years, makes his return Tuesday to do grapple battle with "Sideline Kibitzer" Boll dog Jackson in one of the top matches. McGuire's pet hold Is the Indian Deathlock, and the fiery matster can apply it from any ancle. He's recently moved to Eugene and has been the rage of the packed Eugene houses in matches there. The popular but sly Jackson needs no introduction. In last week's match between he and Tex Hager, the Bulldog copped the winning fall but went berserk, smacked the referee, raised cain in general and was finally subdued by a feminine fan with her purse. The second main event pits Burly Buek Davidson, Montana meany, against Tex Hager. Ha ter has made a hit with the lo cal mat followers and should be a fair match for the rugged miner. His drop kicks and Son nenbergs against Davidson's dirty stuff. Milt Olsen tangles with Emil KaMio, Finn from Finland, in the opener at 8:30 p. m. All matches are billed for best two of three falls, with a 30 minute time limit on the curtain raiser and one-hour each on the two main events.

Pesky called to tell that he' had hit a double and a triple and sacrificed. In four trips, made three pntonts and five as sists and started a doable play. "Well, what else did you ex pect?" is the way Silverton hides her pride. Pesky was a short time ago one of Silverton's favorite "home town" players. steeg, Chris Yungen, and A. J. French.
