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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
