Salem, Oregon, Tuesday You can come out now, Mr. Sol the Senators left town early Monday morning; so there's nothing to keep hiding from. Speaking of the Senators, their recent home stay was just about the most successful they've ever enjoyed, and when the boys took out for Vancouver they had it all figured out like this: ''If we can do as well against the Caps as we've just done against Spokane and Tacoma, we should be leading the league by the time we pull into Portland next Monday night to take up the annual Portland-Salem rivalry. That is, if Spokane can five Tacoma the same sort of entertainment the Tigers got the last time they played in Spokane won two and lost five. Yep, the Salems had it all fig ured out now all we can do is await developments of this week's play. He'll Help Uncle Sam That was a nice sendoff the tOO-odd fans cave Jimmy Rob ertson on Sunday when he came to bat for the first time against the Tigers, bat Del Holmes' per sonal sendoff to Jimmy the last time he came to bat officially wasn't exactly a slap on the back although It was a hit on the back with a pitched ball. But Jimmy didn't mind, as it came during that terrific seventh when Salem brought the house down with that last Inning seven run rally to tie the score. The more we think of it the more we feel that the navy is getting a fine student in Jimmy he won't hit much at least with a bat, but how he does hustle and fire It up. Just about the finest piece of go-get-'em we've seen happened in that game Sunday when Holmes attempted to bunt and the ball blooped off toward first base in quite foul territory. Both Jimmy and Jack Richards tore for it and when Jack saw he couldn't get near It, encour aged charging Jimmy In his high screeching voice, "Dive, Jimmy hustle!" And Jimmy did dive, scooting along the turf on his stomach with outstretched arms and just miss ing completion of what at first ap peared an impossible catch! Yep, the Navy gets itself a good man in Robby, and when Uncle Sam is through with him, we hope he brings his dash and fire back to play for our Senators. The Top's the Spot What s first place ball clnb can do for the attendance fig ures! Take the Seattle Rainiers at this end, for instance, and the Sacramento Senators at the ether end of the Coast league. Seattle picked up the recogni tion of being the hottest draw ing city In the PCX. when the Rainiers were waltzing to all these pennants. But the Sick men are tripping around in the second division now, and do the red-hot Rainier fans stay away from Slck's stadium? What do you think. But Sacramento, itself a push over during the first two or three weeks of the season, and on the bottom at one time, has now driven right up on top of the heap. Result? Packed stands for the Solon games the last three times. Take even Spokane in the WI. You never hear of those five to eight-thousand crowds at Ferris field any more not now because the Indians are about as far be hind the rest of the clubs as they used to lead 'em. Everyone likes a winner in any thing particularly in baseball it seems. Wonder how Mr. 'Salem fan will turn eat should oar Sena tors hit the top? Angels Slap Sublimity Nine by 11-0 Count MT.

Knocked down into third place by Pepper Martin's surging Sac ramento outfit, the Angels pro fessed confidence of getting back on the win-beam with San Fran cisco here this week. Commenting on the "collapse at Sacramento, President Clar ence Rowland said: "It was Just one of those things. Our pitch ing wasn't at all bad and our hitting was average. But the boys, it seemed. Just happened to hit 'em right at the Sacra mento players when we had men on base. We're confident of turning the tables on San Francisco." Manager Arnold Statz an nounced that Ralph Chambers, 21-year-old southpaw from Washing ton State college, had been signed for a tryout and that young "Red" Adams had been sent to Tulsa for more seasoning.

It was Passeau's tenth win of the year, his eighth in a row. Not a Dodger got beyond sec ond base and only two reached that point as Passeau, facing the 1941 pennant winners for the first time this year, handcuffed them completely from start to finish, leaving 15,159 fans load ed with gloom. The husky right hander retired the first eighteen men to face him in order. Meantime the Cubs, whipping the Dodgers for only the second time this season, landed on young Ed Head, Johnny Allen and Larry French for a dozen hits. Three of these a double and a pair of sin gles were collected by Lou No- vikoff. Lou and Bill Nicholson each drove in a pair of runs.

Spokane Lays It On Tigers By 8-3 Count SPOKANE, June 15-(;P)-The Spokane Indians bunched their hits Monday night behind the strong pitching of Henry Bush man to trim the Tacoma Tigers 8 to 3 in the opening game of their Western International league base ball series. Bushman pitched four hit ball for the first eight innings allow ing not a score, and then tired in the final frame to give up five hits and let across Tacoma's three scores. Paul Soderberg struck out the last man up as the Tigers loaded the bases for a last-out rally. The Indians bunched their hits, three doubles, with seven singles, in the second, sixfi and seventh innings to pile up the eight runs.

Look Out Men, Here Comes Ted Williams CHICAGO, June 15 JP)- Ted Williams, who a month ago was plodding along the American league batting trail at a .287 pace, scarcely a shadow of the .406 with which he won the 1941 hit ting title, has anchored himself well up in the ,330's through Sun day's games. That's not good news for his slugging rivals nor for the league's pitching corps. The real contest thus far, however, is between a pair of second basemen. Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees and Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox. Gordon's mark fell seven points in seven days to .386, while Doerr remained stationary at .375. Last week's No. 3 man, Bill Dickey of the Yanks, dropped a point to .345 and saw his posi tion endangered not wily by Wil liams' rush but also by Les Flem ine, the Cleveland Indians' first baseman. Fleming, tied a week ago in eighth with Ted, rallied 15 points worth to move up to fourth with a .339. After Williams comes Stan Buddy Hassett of New York, .328; John Pesky of Boston, .324; Jeff Heath of Cleveland, .312, and Bruce Campbell of Washington, .310. Eugene Pulls Farther Ahead In Slate Loop By The Associated Press Eugene's athletics increased their lead in the Oregon State baseball league Sunday with 7-5 and 4-0 victories over the Portland Firemen while the Bend Loggers dropped their first league start, 9-6, to Albany. Bud Brewer, Eugene hnrler, tossed fire-hit ball to blank the Firemen in the second game ef a doubleheader at Portland. In a free-hitting contest at Bend.

Riotous Rally Almost Keeps Salem Senators in Second Place Dierickx Downs Schanz in 1st But Seven Run Seventh in 2nd Not Enough for Sixth Straight By AL LIGHTNER Our Senators were in second place in the WI standings Sunday, in second place for two hours and ten minutes. They got there after Frankie Dierickx racked his third straight vic tory in the opener, 8 to 1, defeating Charlie Schanz and limiting the Tacomans to five safe blows. That win gave Salem a won 25 and lost 22 record for a percentage of .532, highest it's been this season. The loss read l acoma s standing at 27 won and 24 lost or .529. Highlight of the first game, along; with Dierickx fine twirl ing, was another theft of home by Bill Johnson. Bill slid safely across right in the first inning" for Salem's third run of the heat off Schanz, and he had It stolen "a mile." And how close our side came to adding another win in the second game. Tiger Del Holmes went into the seventh and final inning with a 7-0 lead over an ineffective Ron Smith and Salem's chances looked as dull as the day itself turned out to be. But the gosh-awfullest rally ever to take place at George E. Waters park happened right then and there and before Schanz, who came in from left field to Holmes' rescue, finally got the Solons out they had tied the score at 7-all. Cailteaux doubled, Holmes hit Robertson. Adams batted for Smith and singled, Granato sin gled. Leininger flew to left field. Warren singled, Johnson was safe on Molitor's error, Richards flew to deep center and Manager Pete cracked a triple. Pete was the tielng run with two out. Schans evidenUy tried to put too much on his first pitch to Cail teaux and the ball went up against the stands, Petersen scoring with the tieing run. The 800-odd fans were by this time going wild, as Tacoma had pounded Smith for ten hits, and although Salem had rapped Holmes for seven, the situation had seemed hopeless. Schanz, already the loser in the first game, now stood a good chance of having his second de feat of the day hung on him. But he got Caliteaux on a roller and "Pappa" Burton Swope, with the trials and tribulations of his new two-day old baby daughter behind him, took up the Senator mound chore. Swoopie got by the eighth in fine shape and Salem came to bat. Schanz walked Robertson and Swope bunted him to sec ond. Then Johnny Granato, who had surprised everyone in the park, including himself, by rap ping four straight bits off Holmes, found Schans' curves too tough and fanned. Leinin ger hit a high one to left to re tire the side, and Salem's chances of making it six straight wins, four straight doublehead er wins, Swope' fifth win and a second place slot went a rlinumerinx. The win-hungry Tigers wasted no time getting the winning run in the top of the ninth, Swope walking Lilly, LaForte bunting him over and Rooney scoring him with a single to right. Salem tried hard enough again with two down in the ninth, Lilly having made nice stops on both Warren's and . Johnson's hard smashes. Then Richards beat one out to short but Manager Pete brought the rip-roaring struggle to a close with his loft to Lo Forte. The doable bill ended Salem's home stay, and s right profitable (in the win-lost columns) star It was too. The Solons whacked Spokane five out ef stx and took another five, losing two, to the Tigers. The successful home . stay brought the Senators up to within three games of the first place Vancouver Capilanos, with whom our side does battle all this week in Vancouver, returning to Port land for an exhibition game with the Beavers next Monday night, thence back to Tacoma for a spell there. They will be back here, against the Capilanos, starting July 3.

Do You Remember? s4 PCC vs. Big On Track-Today Coast Stars Favorites In Spite of EVANSTON, EL, June 15-(iP-Short on numerical strength but heavy in power, the Pacific coast conference's track stars are expected to score by a solid margin over the Big Ten's best hi Tuesday's sixth annual dual meet between the two collegiate leagues in Northwestern university's Dyche stadium. For reasons of economy the west coast athletic heads decided to waive their right to bring thel first, second and third place win ners in each event of their con ference meet, and sent only the No. 1 and 2 men here. The Big Ten, however, will shoot its full strength in an effort to break the Pacific coast's five year monop oly on this unique track affair. While the westerners, large ly by dint of Southern Califor nia's crushing 85 point vic tory in last Saturday's NCAA meet at Lincoln, Neb- are heavily favored to beat the Big Ten, individual stars are about evenly divided. Monday the NCAA track and field committee announced its annual all-Am erican collegiate track team, based on season's performances, and Pacific coast athletes took 10 places to eight for the Big Ten. However Gwinn Smith, California pole vaulter, is not competing in this dual meet, and Bob Biles, California jave lin thrower, is out of luck be cause the Big Ten no longer con ducts that event. Sponsors of the meet have arranged three added attrac tions. One will feature Corne lius Warmerdam, the world pole vaulting champion, who will be sided in his quest for a 16-foot ceiling by a specially prepared 150 foot runway. Another will be Dwight Eddie man, Illinois' most famous high Little-Mangrum Winners Inverness Golf Tourney TOLEDO, O., June lMVLawson Little, 1934-35 grand slam amateur king and 1940 open champion, and partner Lloyd Mangrum walked away with the eighth annual $7650 Inverness four-ball matches Sunday.
