Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning. June 3, 1942
More smell is coming from the tepee of the Spokane Indians,
and it isn't from the stockyards next to the ball park either. Seems
that owner Bill Ulrich isn't at all happy over the way Seattle re
called Earl Torgeson. To-wit, Bob Johnson of the Spokane Chron
iclt writes:
"That off-again-on-again working agreement between Spo
kane and Seattle appears headed for the ashcan for keeps as Ul
rich sizzles over the recent conniving that saw Seattle recall Earl
Torgeson after leaving him in the Spokane camp for seven days."
"When the deal was brewing
whereas Torgeson would be sent
to Spokane only if played in the
eutfield and nowhere else it was
greed to by both sides."
. "Torgeson was to be recalled
to Seattle If any of the out
fielders were injured. Then
came the AP story that Out
fielder Spencer Harris was in
jured. Seattle recalled Torrle
and this is what barns Ulrich
most Seattle sold first sacker
Les Scarsella and pushed Torge
son into the first base Job.
"Earl was sent to Spokane so
he 'could play every day as an
outfielder and then, Just as he
started hitting, Seattle appar
ently decided Torrle was the
answer not as an outfielder
but at first base."
Plenty of Points
They don't allow the Big Ten
footballers to play any post season
games or go to one of the New
Year's day bowls, but the fine
track teams which will represent
the west in its annual post season
clash with the cream of the Big
Ten conference June 16 should
certainly uphold the superiority
of the west at least as far as
track is concerned.
The first two finishers in each
of the events in last Saturday's
Coast conference meet at Seattle
are the lucky lads who will repre
sent the conference, and here they
are with the times they turned in
for the respective events Satur
day: Mile Leroy Weed (TJSC) and

Gordon Climbs
Back Atop
Amerk Batting
CHICAGO, June 2.-P)-Second
Baseman Joe Gordon of the New
York Yankees took advantage of
a batting slump during the 'week
by his arch rival, Second Base
man Bobby Doerr of the Boston
Red Sox, to climb into the Ameri
can league hitting leadership.
While Doerr, last week's lead
er, was getting only 10 blows in
39 trips, Gordon came through
with 11 in 34 to push his aver
age to .380, ten points above the
faltering Bobby who fell into
second place. The averages are
computed through Sunday
games.
Both the leaders cooled off
considerably however. A week
ago Doerr was clipping a .441 and
Gordon was hitting .397. The Red
Sox swatter still held the lead
last Thursday but, he connected
with the ball only eight times in
26 attempts thereafter. Gordon
meanwhile, had made 7 in 19
trips.
Bill Dickey. New York cat
cher, was in third place with
.365; followed by Washington's
Stan Spence with .360 and Bos
ton's John Pesky and Ted Wil
liams with .342 and .340.

five safeties.

American League Sendoff to Jimmy Foxx
Slap to Great Player, Says Whit
By WHITNEY MARTIN
Wide World Sports Columnist
NEW YORK, June 2-Caught
short:
That was quite a sendoff Jimmy
Foxx got from the American
league, with seven clubs waiving
good-bye. The transaction send
ing Jimmy to the Chicago Cubs
provided another illustration of
the porous qualities of the waiver
rule. According to the rule the
other American league clubs
could claim him for the $7500
waiver price, and Jimmy Foxx
is worth 7500 to any club Just
to sit on the bench and look mean.
Tom Yawkey probably told
the other club owners he had a
chance to get a Bice price for
Foxx from the Cubs, and If the
other clubs would waive a him
he'd return the favor some day.
If they refused, he'd just with
draw the waiver, so all the other
clubs could do without endan
gering possible future deals of
their own was to agree.
- The rule, it seems, . was made
to be broken by gentlemen's
agreements.

BOSTON, Juno 2--After
taking four setbacks, the Cleve

time this season and they did it
most decisively, for they banged
out 14 hits, including two home
runs, for a 7-2 triumph.

Mel Harder held the Red Sox
scoreless until the ninth inning.

given some flossy left-handed
pitching by C h e t Johnson, de
feated the Capilanos 4 to 0 in
their series opener here Tuesday
night.
The victory sent the Tigers
three full games ahead of the
setfbnd-place Vancouver tossers
who had previously chopped three
and a half games from Tacoma's
margin in a week's time.
Dave Molttor, Tacoma's roo
kie third baseman, drove in the
Tigers' first three runs, singling
with the bases loaded in the
first inning and clouting a tow
ering triple in the third after
Roy Younker had doubled.
Molitor crossed the plate a mo

of the game on Pat Rooney's
single.
