Salem, Oregon. Tuesday He had to go and lose four tough ones in succession before he finally hit the win column, and two of those losses to our aide, whom he once cast his spell over quite conclusively, but "Pizin" Pete Jonas, the kewpie-doll Cap pitcher, was all his Gemmell given monicker implied when he got his first win of the year Saturday night at Vancouver against our Senators. In comparison with other pitch ers in the league, Pete can be classed as one of the best in the loop, but he is and always has been one of' those unlucky guys who, when he does get a win, gets it the hard way. Pete's got plenty on his fast one, and can snap off some pretty effective curve balls. Along with what you'd call good control, the stub-sized righty, who's built more like an under slung halfback, is one of those heady guys on the pitcher's mound Who's always thinking and figur ing out just where to pitch to the hatters. Pete's calculations backfired on him the last time the Caps played here in that Sunday doableheader, however. Before the fames he had made the statement that he knew just where and what to throw to Joe Gonzales and that Joe wonld never give him any trouble. Bat it was Joe's home run with Moore on base that beat Peter 4 to 3 in that came. Incidentally, Jonas has enlisted fn the naval aviation corps, and like our Jimmy Robertson, is awaiting call to service. Any Tradin Material? Now's a good chance to get rid of that blankety blank pair of boots that hurt your feet every time vou go fishin': bring the painful things -up to the annual Hunters and Anglers swaperee Wednesday night and put 'em on the trading black. H & H Secre tary Junior Eckley says this year's swaperee has all the indications of being the best the club has had yet. So if you have anything like a hunting coat, casting rod, boots, knives, guns, etc.. that you would like to swap off. bring 'em up to the scene of the bartering. 371 N. High, on Wednesday night. Victory Garden at WU? It was probably only ru mor, as all such thin gener ally tarn out to be, but some of the Willamette university athletes were of the opinion that come next fall their Sweetland grid "turf would not be sprout ing sweating gridders and pig skins, bot a victory garden. The blame for snch a move was thrown ex-Pres. Knopfs way. Bat then he's been blamed for a lot of things. Come to thing of it, if the student-less situation at old WU doesn't change during the summer vacation, they may as well put In the victory garden and get some usage out of the ovalled en closure. Things are looking tough at the Methodist institution. Grounder x and Pickups Skipper "Bonny" Griffiths Rome, New Yorkers, of "-nadian-Amefiean league, are bouncing along in fifth nlace, says the weekly Sporting News, and the league commentary adds "Bunny's" catcher drew a three-day ' tusoension from the league prexy for "an altercation with one Of the umpires." My, my could Bunnjr have changed so much? None of his boys drew any sach penalties when he was herding our Stolons he wouldn't tet 'era argue . . . Evidently the loss of Earl Torreson didn't hart the Spokes too ranch, as they up and sowed the Tacomas five at of seven games last week. Maybe Torgy's short-lived tenure with the Indians was all they needed to go on the war oath that and Pitcher Hob Kittle, who. Incidentally, is part Indian himself ... Well see this week about that war path staff . . .

The star University of Oregon Just a Year Columbia LouStruckOut By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, June 1 -4JPh (today) that the big guy left us, of anyone who might take his Nor will there ever be. Gehrig, as it produces only one Ty Cob, or Babe Ruth, or one! of a few other individuals whose niche is peculiarly their own. It took tragic nines, and finally, death, to remove him from tho shadow of the flam boyant Babe Rath in which the Bronx iron man walked uncom plainingly daring many of his glory years, bat the illness and death brought m long overdue appreciation f his greatness as a ball player, and as a man. He's gone, but to the millions who saw him he's as fresh in the memory as yesterday. The true Yankee fan never will go to the vast grey stadium without half expecting to see old Piano Legs Jog out to take his stand at first base, ha easy carnage ana mas Senators H ome Tonight Against Snokane 1 Slammin' Sam Snead Snares PGA Crown By GAYLE TALBOT ATLANTIC CITY, June l.-rV He finally accomplished what they said he'd never do win a major golf title because something al ways seemed to go wrong with Slammin' Sam Snead. But it failed to happen to the Hot Springs, Va., golf star Sunday in the final round of the PGA cham pionship tournament, and Snead downed Corporal Jim Turnesa 2 and 1. It was a fighting victory, toe. Sam stood three down at the half-way point, and the crowd of 3.000 was vociferously pall ing against his every shot and rooting for the swarthy little soldier from Fort Dix. Bat Sam had it Sunday, and even under those circumstances he went oat to shoot some of the great est home-stretch golf ever seon. A triumph for Turnesa un doubtedly would have been more popular. The little guy with the nerves of steel and no business whatsoever in the finals of a PGA championship, had captured the fancy of everybody. The crowd had been cheering his every shot for two days as he scored upset victories over Ben Hogan and By ron Nelson, two of golfdom's greatest players. But the 30-y ear old star from the hill country, after hav ing suffered probably more ma jor disappointments than any top flight golfer, finally came throuf h with his win, which he richly deserved. The victory was worth $2,000 worth of war bonds, and Snead left immediately after the meet ing for Washington to be inducted into the navy's physical training program. Sunday's Coast League Scores Portlands Bevos dropped a doubleheader to San Francisco at Portland Sunday, 1-0 and 6-0. Ad Liska was the losing pitcher in the first game and Roy Helser the second.

The contract fig ure was not revealed, but Whit man said earlier he would sign if offered a $1500 bonus. Ago Today It was just a year ago Tuesday and there isn't even the shadow place on the horizon. Baseball produces only one Lou sive frame symbolizing more than anything else the confidence and power of the champions. For years lie was just the No. 2 man. The moon-faced, bay- windowed Ruth had caught the crowd's fancy. Net alone through his native ability, bat through his escapades, his huge paychecks, and even his unique physique. They've made a movie of Geh rig's life. A New York square has been named for him. Ball parks bear his name. Busts and plaques honor his memory. " " All of which is nice, bat euite unnecessary. The memory of Loa Gehrig will live without material reminder. Dfoid Osborn Still Spell on Solons, 4-0; Swope Is Victim Again VANCOUVER, BC, June 1 -(CP)- The Vancouver Capi lanos brought their Western International league series with the Salem Senators to a close Monday night as Manager Don Osborn handcuffed the visitors 4 to 0. It was the Cap manager's seventh straight win without a defeat this season. Righthander Burton Swope was on the hill for the Senators, and although dishing up only six hits, the same number off Osborn. Swope threw a home ran ball to Ford Mullen In the fifth Inning with a mate on base. M alien hit the ball over the 251 right field fence. Vancouver scored one in the first inning on three singles, and another in the fourth when Swope walked one and gave up another single. Outside that the game was a tight battle all the way, Swope getting better as he went along. Osborn was in trouble only once when he give up two hits in the fourth inning, and had his sinker ball working to perfection. The win gave the Capilanos a 5-2 edge in the series. Salem re turns home tonight to play Spo kane while the Caps engage the league leading Tacoma Tigers. The Caps are now only two and a half games out of first place. Our Senators come home to George E. Waters park now, and open a week's home series with the Spokane Indians start ing tonight at 8 p. m. As two games were rained out the last time Spokane played here, at least one double 'header will be played one night this week along with the usual Sunday double session at 1:30 p. m. The two clubs will culminate the series with the Sunday bill. Tonight's game will also see the 1942 debut of two of Salem's fa vorites of last year, Pitcher Frankie Dierickx, who reported Monday, and Catcher Eddie Ad ams, who also moved into town Monday. Along with Adams and Dierickx, Lefty Jack Richards will be playing his first home game for the Senators at first base. Still another highlight of this evening's entertainment will be the debut of Parrish Inn lor high school Coach Tommy Dry nan as a Western International league umpire. Drynan will re place Tom Healy, who was suddenly called to his home in Montana due to family Illness. Drynan has seen considerable experience as a semi-pro arbiter, and will work this week with Bill Valerio. Spokane took a doubleheader from Tacoma at Spokane Sunday, 10-8 and 9-4.

Golfers Given Another Week Because so many of the en trants in the first annual Salem Golf dab's handicap tourna ment were oat of town over the weekend, taking i advantage of the double holiday, the dub announced Monday that the deadline for turning in first round scores would be next Sunday night instead of last Sunday. Only a few of the tourney entries played off their first pairings Sunday.

McGinnis and Ken Manning are still shopping about for another No. 1 pitcher, Sil- verton's Red Sox seem all set to take the field Wednesday night against the Portland Firemen in the State league opener. The double holiday afforded an opportunity for workouts for players who had arrived. So far the pitching duties will fall on John Day and Harry Hage- dorn of high school fame. The rest of the team te date is as follows: Manager Manning either at first base or in the outfield; Lee Shinn at 3rd; Johnny Seeley, Silverton high, at shortstop, and Mellbye, for mer high school star, and more recently with Llnfleld college, at second: Milt Whlttley and Arnold Riegea, two importa tions from Arizona; Bill Bar ney, just out of U of Oregon, and Bill Tate, Portland youth, outfielders.

Come Early Limited Amount Fresh Corned Beef Hash Wednesday 479 Court St. 7 1 W8& Cap Game Jimmy Foxx Peddled to Chicago Cubs By BILL KING BOSTON, June l.--Jiirany Foxx, now crowding 35 but up to a year ago one of baseball's great est rlghthanded sluggers, Monday was waived out of the American league by the Boston Red Sox and sold outright to the Chicago Cubs, managed by Jimmy Wilson, his old friend and Philadelphia neigh bor. The passing of Foxx, known to fandom as "Double X" and most affectionately by team mates and rival players as "the beat" came as no surprise. Baseball knew he was Just about washed up with the Red Sox last season, especially after Owner Tom Yawkey, his sin cere admirer, tried vainly to land him the managership of the Cleveland" Indians. Until recently, Foxx appeared destined to rejoin the Philadel phia Athletics, the major league club he broke in with 18 years ago when, fresh from a Maryland farm, he launched one of the greatest first -basing careers in modern baseball. But he suffered a fractured rib during batting practice hi the Yankee stadium last week, with the result that Connie Mack, his first baseball boss, lost interest in taking him in a trade that the Red Sox hoped would get them Frankie Hayes, a much-needed topflight catch er who Sunday was traded to the St Louis Browns. It is likely that Wilson figures Foxx, who has a lifetime batting average of .332 and a current one of .274, will provide his sixth place National league club with much-needed batting power, most likely in pinch-hitting roles.
