Saturday Were this effort titled, same ''Getting To The Bottom of Things xui we noucea 8 niunoer oi mings ourmg xne iirsi nome sxay of the Senator nine, during which they won seven and lost as many, and left on their present road trip with the same per centage they came off the first one with one game under the .500 mark. , In the first place, it would be nothing less than a farce to believe that the Solons wiU get any higher than they are right now with the club they have now. Sorest spot of all is the pitch ing staff, and equally as pathetic Is the fact that a few of the boys drawing pay aren't hustling for it There's a lot more to hustling than merely running out infield rollers. Three" of the Darters, and enly one of that trio a certainty, have proven they can get by. Barton Swope Is the only ab solutely dependable pitcher, and even he has his bad nights. Bad Moore and Ron' Smith are the other two, and both are of the hot-one-night and cold-the-next type. "The other three, Wild Bill Kelly (and 1 do mean wild), . Kenny Clow, and Con Rasmussen, have shown , very little Indication of effectiveness Kelly can't find the plate and Clow finds the middle of it too often. "Ram" is suffering some torn ligaments in his right shoulder and can't throw hard enough to break the proverbial pane of class. Perhaps Clow's Ineffectiveness was caused by his missing bis regular turn, due in turn to the totally uncoopera tive weather we had during the home stay. Pleas-Are Unheeded leas- for help from the Coast eague clubs have gone unheeded Simply and flatly because utter relessness in handling past con- ections with the Coast loop nines s turned their attention else where. As for the club itself, it is safe to say it is one of the . highest paid ever to play in the Western International, even though some of the present members are being; considerably overpaid. Efforts are being made to off set such handicaps,: and if certain deals materialize, which are "in the fire" at present, don't be sur prised to see a few new faces en the roster ere long. As for the apparent and inex cusable lack of fire, even a poor ball team can gtbyif it hustles. But even the best wttl never do If some of the misfits persist in lust going throughwe motions. Other things, too such as outfielders playing the infield lust like outfielders generally W play the infield were no ticed, but bare ue c e s s 1 1 y prompted their being inf ieiders at least for the present. Bill Johnson is doing a remarkable job considering his rightful ' position the outfield. And whatV more, Bill is hustling despite his apparent batting shunp. When he snakes that,, some of these other WI fling -. ors wiU also do a little shaking. And speaking of hustle, that lone is the reason why so many . bum calls are made by the "um pirei In the league. Just like a ball player, 'if an umpire Isn't on bis toes at all times he's bound to miss 'em, and missing, 'em can ause many a baU game to be lost unnecessarily. - Grounders & Pickups ' Biggest disappointment of the ; mouth?

"I think Pastor won," said Louis plans Duis. plans tor an eany summer nea- vyweight title bout between Pas tor and Joe Louis. Pastor scaled 183y4; Mauriello 173. . After taking the best of Mau rlello's Sanday shots throagh the first three rounds, In one of which he was staggered by a shot on the Jaw, Pastor turned on the gas and gave Tami qalte a boxing lesson most of the way home, until the ninth and tenth rounds. Then the two stood tee to toe and slugged It oat to the final bell as a noisy, good-siied crowd stood and roared. The Associated Press score card had Pastor well out in front at the finish, giving him every round from the third through the eighth and voting it six heats for Pastor, two for the young Fordham Flatt er and two even. Each of the three officials came op with a different ver dict. Referee George Walsh scored it five heats for each and called It even.

The rookie right hander who had won five straight games to lead all National league pitch ers was shelled with a two-run homer by Manager Mel Ott in the first frame and another circuit clout by Hank Lethe r in the, fourth aa well as being tapped for two unearned runs in the third.

In the third Arky V a u g h a n fumbled a difficult roller back of the pitcher's mound to let Melton reach first, Bartell singled' and after Mickey Witek sacrificed, Ott was intentionally walked to oad the bases. Mise rapped a perfect double play ball at Bill Herman, who tossed to Pee Wee Reese. Ott came roaring into second and bumped so hard the little short stop was knocked unconscious. Ott was out, but h caused Reese to make a bad throw to first and two runs scored. This incident turned the base running into a rough and tumble affair for a, few innings and had much to do with clinching the game, although Lieber led off the fourth with his homer for the Gi ants' final run.

Winners of the northern divi sion track and field champion ship the last six consecutive years, the Cougars, to mix up a figure of speech, are definitely underdogs on the eve of the competition. Favored Is the University of Washington, which has high hopes of capturing Its first division meet since 1931. George M. Varnell, Seattle sports writer and veteran meet starter, came out with a chart this' week based on season rec ords. He glres Washington first place with 43 points: and lists tho rest of them thusly; Oregon, S1H: Oregon State, 30; Ida ho, 27: Washington State. It, and Montana, 14. Coach Hec Edmundson of Washington agrees with the choice of his athletes as the win ner. ' but figures Washington State will place much higher than fifth. This could be, as Varnell said he only charted the tracksters on their best performances of the season, and disregarded cases where one of his choices had lost to another lesser choice In dual competition.
