Salem, Oregon, Friday
Lovely weather for baseball we're having, isn't is? A
communique from 25th and Turner road area states that a
submarine was trapped in the first-base coaching box the other
day and a fleet of chasers attacked and sank her on the spot.
And now'i a good time for Willamette to take up crew prac
tice the ball park would be an ideal spot. They wouldn't lack
a coach either, as Lt. 'ansome 'arold Hauk is now qualified to
lead a marine team. Incidentally, have you seeri Lt. Hauk in

Good Old Suspended List
All this hullabaloo being raised
about both Portland's Bevos and
Seattle's Rainiers work'.ig the
"angles" of the good old baseball
suspended list isn't at all new to
Western Internatio nal league
clubs. As long as the WI has been
in operation advantage of the "sit
uation,1' so to speak, has been
taken, although teeth were
bridged into the loopholed rule
just last season.
If a player U placed on the
suspended list in this league
aow, another most be released
when suspended player is
brought back to active duty.
Before, it was just m matter of
exchanging player for player,
and viee versa. The suspended
plajer or players travelled with
the team and worked out before
fames, but when the game start
ed had to remove his suit and
get up in the stands. And more
than once during the course of
i lame said player was called
from the stands to don the suit
and enter the game, changing
places with some other member
f the club.
Seven days was the minimum
time alloted anyone on the list,
truly a ball club's protection,
which, as we look at it. is a very
favorable way to maintain play
ers who would otherwise be forced
loose by release. It's particularly
favorable during times like these,
as you never know when one or
more of your key men will be
grabbed up by the military, leav
ing you with the bat boy to drive
in the runs.
O
flayer Must Be 'Injured
Of course the suspended list
was originated wKh the idea
that it should be used for injur
ed players. Their respective pay
goes on Just the same as if they
were playing every day. And
should a player come up with a
sore finger, or feet, or a kink
in the back things that are al
ways wrong with every player
at one time or another during
a season he is rightfully eligi
ble for the suspended list, much
to the Joy of the club owner
or manager who is always seek
ing ways and means of bettering
the club, but afraid to turn loose
a player or two. Taking ad
vantage of the situation is only
natural for any ball club in war
times now, as it's tough enough
to find and maintain a team that
will take up the slack left by the
draft and better paying war in
dustries. If the heads of the industry have
nothing better to do, they should
Visualize the difficulties of the
player limit rule and relax it en
tirely at least for the duration.

mastery over the Boston Braves
Thursday; chalking up their sixth
success of the season at the ex
pense of Casey Stengel's men with
a 6 to 4 decision.
In running: their victory
string to four straight, however,
the Dodgers had to put down a
ninth inning rally as the Braves
sought to break the jinx that
has kept them from winning a
single game from the league
- leaders this year. For seven in

Braves scoreless 'and allowed
only three hits, then walked
two men in the eighth. After
a force out had moved Frank
Demaree to third. Tommy
Holmes came through with a
run producing single.
The- Braves continued their at
tacks in the final frame with Max
West connecting with his second
homer of the year to account for
two of the three runs the bean
town boys scored in that inning.
Higbe finally squelched the rally,
however, by fanning Pinch Hit

Vancouver's Henricsen
VANCOUVER, BC.-(S p e c i a 1)-The Vancouver Capilanos
made it two in a row over the Salem Senators here Thursday
night behind the effective five-iit twirling of righthander Bob
Henricsen, who turned in a neat 3-0 shutout over the visitors.
Burton Swope was his adversary on the mound, and al
though touched for seven blows by the Caps, pitched well enough
to win most games. But Hemic
sen had too much and kept the
Senator hits well scattered, allow
ing no two in the same inning.
Swope's cause was not aided
flawlessly as was Henricsen's,
Shortstop Johnny Granato and
Second Baseman Alf Cailteaux
booting rollers for the only errors
of the game.
The game marked the debut
of Salem's new first baseman.
Jack Richards, who got one of
the visitors' hits.
Vancouver scored its first run
in the third when Mallory singled,
advanced to third on Mullen's one
bagger, and scoring when he and
the Cap second baseman pulled
the double steal.
Salem threatened often enough,
but three swift double plays by
the Caps cut the rallies short and
pulled Henricsen out of what few
jams he got into.
The two clubs will continue
with their series in Vancouver
Friday night and will play a
double header Saturday. Those
dates were originally slated for
the Salem park, but were trans
ferred to Vancouver.

Lighthorse Harry Is the Gent

By WHITNEY MARTIN
Wide World Sports Columnist
NEW YORK, May 28 He won't
win the PGA tournament. After
all, medalists seldom do, partic
ularly if they are golfers like Har
ry Cooper, who has been runner
up so often his name should be
Harry Cooper, the second.
If Lighthorse Harry had run
true to form he would have lost
out on the final green in the final
match when his opponent sank a
chip shot for a birdie. That's his
kind of luck. .
If you consider only the num
ber of times he's come close to
winning one of the major tourna
ments, and failed, you might de
scribe his career as a saga of fu
tility. The only drawback to that
description is that few golfers
have profited more financially
over a long period of years, and
someone once said the goal of a
pro golfer is to make money. And,
come to think of it, why limit it
to pro golfers? !i

By GAYLE TALBOT
ATLANTIC CITY, May 28 -P)
Outside of the 4rief scare in the
afternoon, when the veteran Joe
Kirkwood made an amazing rally
to tie Byron Nelson at the 32nd
hole, the PGA championships ran
their pre-destined, unruffled
course through the second round
of match play at the Sea view club
Thursday.
The eight survivors who wUl
square off in Friday's quarter
finals are fairways big shots.
The little fellows who came
here hopefully were cleaned out
and on their way back home,
more convinced than ever that
the modern money game is a
closed corporation.
Friday's lineup will look fa
miliar to the golf fan:
Jimmy Demaret plays Craig
Wood; Sammy Snead plays Ed
Dudley; Byron Nelson meets Har
ry Cooper, and Ben Hogan will
endeavor to send Corporal Jim
Turnesa back to the army.
Included in the eight were the
national open . champion, Wood;
the Augusta masters' king, Nel
son; tne noider oi tne varaon
trophy and leading money win
ner, Hogan; the man who once
took eight strokes on the 72nd
hole of an open championship,
Sammy Snead, and the Argentine
open champion, Demaret.
Nelson, the tournament fav
orite, must have been the most
startled man in New Jersey
when Kirkwood, the 45-year-old
trick shot star, caught him
and looked him in the eye on
the 32nd green. Nelson had
been 4-up at lunch and appear
ed to have the match safely
salted away. And then he start
ed frittering away while Kirk
wood settled down to par-shattering
golf.
At any rate, the jolt appeared
to have done Nelson good. He
gathered himself to shoot birdies
both on the 33rd and 34th holes
and to send Kirkwood tumbling,
eventually, 2 and 1. Nelson has
no confidence in his present form,
though, and predicted today that
Hogan and Snead would be the
finalists.

sequently the lad developed a
style which today is rated al
most flawless.
He's the most jittery guy we
ever saw on a golf links, and
we've seen him give a hot-foot
leap when a camera clicked while
he was putting. It's a mystery to
us how he would win the medal
at Atlantic City with the gnats as
bad as our Mr. Gayle Talbot told
you they were.
Our only theory is that they
were just apprentice gnats, as the
gnats we've seen out in the mid
west would have picked up the
second nine holes and put them
ahead of the first nine, instead of
just forcing the tournament com
mittee to play the two nines trans
posed. What we mean, they were

games practically gnatted out.

Robinson Runs
Win Streak to
121 Straight
NEW YORK, May 28-;p)-Ray
Robinson ran his all-victorious
string to 121 triumphs in a row
as a fighter Thursday night, but
he never came closor to having
it broken than he did in going
all out to take a 10 round deci
sion from Marty Servo before a
roaring, thrilled crowd in Madi
son Square garden. Robinson
weighed 144; Servo 143.
As a matter of fact, on the
Associated Press score card,
Robinson won by the mere mar
gin of one round. And this
margin might have been the
second, in which both fighters
were guilty of hitting low, but
for which Referee Billy Cava
nagh penalised only Servo with
loss of the round.
After the verdict was announc
ed, the booing was so loud that
Announcer Harry Balogh was
unable to make himself heard
sufficiently over the public ad
dress system to introduce the
next fight.
And, though Referee Cavanagh
took the second round away from
the little coast guardsman from
Schenectady, NY, without first
warning him, he took the trouble
of warning the skinny Harlem
hammer- for using his head in
the final Vound and then did
not penalize him.
A crowd of 13,673 fans con
tributed to a gross gate of $31,870
to see the show.

1S37 with 14,13S. That year he
also won the first PGA Tardon
trophy with S points, aad he
had the best scoring average of
