If the way things have stacked up for a certain Pacific
3oast league club and another certain Western International
eague club mean anything, you can look for another WIL over
CL baseball win next Monday night at Portland. The well
ou need Bevos, able to boast but one win over Salem in the
ast two years, and that a 16-15 gift by Salem's right fielder
'guess who) in 1940, engage the Solons in the 1942 renewal of
ihe "grudge" series in Portland Monday night.
And you can bet that Manager Charlie Petersen will go all
lit to rub it in the Brazill Nuts,
.
When L. H. Gregory, ef the
Oregonian, came up to a recent
Salem tame and saw Frankie
Dierickx back with the Solons.
his first comment was, "What'd
he come back for to beat Port
land again?" Frankie has two
victories over the would-be
Coast leaguers.
That doesn't necessarily mean
Trankie will try for a third one,
ut should Manager Pete elect
k toss Frankie the Flipper at 'em
Monday, the Bevos will certainly
lot have to think hard to remem
ber him.
Which One Is Portland?
And what a real homecoming
that came will be for the larger
part of the Senator roster. No
less than 11 Senators make
their home In Portland Man
ager Pete. Jack Warren. Jack
Richards. Curly Leininger,
Johnny Granato, Bill Kelly,
Frankie Dierickx. Eddie Adams,
Kenny Clow and Barton Swope
Ron Smith is from Mil wan -kle.
That in itself Is aalte a
record for any ball elub. and
just for good measure toss In
Air Cailteaux, Bod Moore and
Claude O'Connell all from
other points in Oregon, and you
have an ail-Oregon ball elub.
The only two Senators from
outside this state are Bill John
son. San Pedro. Calif- and Con
Rasmussen, Kirkland, Wash.
Now that would be some
thing' To have the "Kids from
Portland'' whack the Portland
ball club. And don't think they
wont be out to do just that.
Grounders & Pickups
Phil -Salstrom, snappy little
shortstop with the Senators in
1940. has been picked on the
northern all-stars of the Cali
fornia State league as a third
baseman, and his manager,
Goldie Holt, whom you remem
ber as the foxv Yakima Pippin
skipper up here, has been
named manager of the upper
end twinks. Salstrom plars un
der Holt at San Je . . , You
guessed it Rov HHer says
"nothin" doin' " to coming back
to our Senators. But wouldn't
he be a welcome stcht out on
the hill arainst left handed hit
ters like Buccola and Aden of
Spokane, Rooney and Molitor of
Tacoma and Wriuht of Vancou
ver? You can say that again
. . . Ex-Willamette four-star
letterman Johnny Kolb has
asked to finally take his whirl
at professional ball with the
Salem, hi parole board Job
having dissolved. Kolb has been
n the Senator suspended list,
and as he was a fair to middlhV
Infielder with Spec Keene's
'Cats, may get his chance at the
weak Solon shortstop berth . . .
Elmer Singleton, the tall swlfty
with Wena tehee two years ago,
and with Portland eart of this
I season, but not good enough to
' stick with the Bevos. has him
self five wins and me defeat in
the fast Texas league already.
Just another pitcher with the
stuff to win who wasn't vood
enough to stick with the Rea
vers. Welder hew many of
Portland's pitchers right now
could re down In the Texas
league and win. Ten guess.
We'll take Llska and Orrell for

the four-hit pitching of Chet

mered out a 15 to 3 Western In

two pitchers and a third baseman

the most effective.

Tacoma started off on Rub

little better and was yanked at

the way.
Pat Rooney was Taooma's heavy
hitter with four for five, while
Manager Pip Koehler, with two
doubles in the big third inning,
was a Spokane nemesis.
Tacoma, in evening up the

hits. Spokane scored their runs
mostly through the hitting of
Vic Buccola, first baseman, with
a double and a triple, half of

BOSTON, June 16-(P)-Although
given seven hits and as many
bases on balls because of Johnny
Vander Meer's wildness, the luck
less Boston Braves suffered a 5-0
shutout Tuesday when they
opened a three-game series with
the Cincinnati Reds.
Three times the Braves man
aged to fill the bases but each
lime VanderMeer regained con
trol and held it long enough to
escape from his deep holes. The
Reds, who were held te seven
hits by Al Jayery and Dick
Errickson, made every one of
them count and clinched their
triumph with a three-run blast
in the fourth Inning.
Three hits and two Boston er
rors contributed to that uprising
against Javery, which started
when Linus Frey singled and then
raced to third when Catcher Clyde
Kluttz rifled into right field while
trying to nab him off first base.
Frank McCormick scored Frey
with a siiuie and then raced

Easterners Upset Dope,
But Davis Sets 2 Marks
By DAVE HOFF
EVANSTON, 111., June 16-;P-The Big Ten's all-stars won
their dual track meet with the Pacific coast's best Tuesday night
for the first time in the six-year history of the event .
Before a twilight crowd of 12,000 in Northwestern uni
versity's Dyche stadium, the Big Ten team upset all the pre
meet dope to ring up a 69 to 57 Va victory.
Although the westerns lost,
their Hal Davis, or California,
set two new meet sprint marks
but the Big Ten had its record
breaker too in Bob Wright of
Ohio State, who rang up a new
meet high hurdle time.
The three exhibition events
were noteworthy only in ths per
formance of an Illinois high school
boy, Dwight Eddleman of Cen
tralia, who high jumped 6 feet 6
inches, two inches better than the
winning collegian height but Us
inch under the national inter
scholastic record he sought to ex
ceed. Cornelius Warmer dam, the
world champion pole vaulter
who has cleared 15 feet more
than two dozen times in his
career, made only 14 feet 2
.inches, failing in all tries to
top 15-2. He was operating
with a slight leg injury.
The Great Lakes naval training
station mile relay team finished
third to the two college quarteU.
The Big Ten athletes collected
nine first places to the west's six.
Their most surprising victory was
in the quarter mile relay but they
rolled up needed points by sweep
ing the discus, finishing one-two
in the two mile run and broad
jump and having two men tie for
first in the pole vault.
Davis peppered down the
track in the century in 9.5 sec
ends and in the 220-yard dash
in 20.4 seconds. The 100 -yard
time was two-tenths of a second
better than Arnold Nutting of
California checked off In 1938
and was within one-tenth ef a
second off the world record. -
His 220 time surpassed the 21
flat done by Lee Orr of Wash
ington State in 1937.
Wright recorded a 14 second
high hurdles time, topping the
figure of 14.3 seconds set up by
James Humphrey of Southern
California in 1938.
After nine events the Pacific
coast team led in points 40s3 to
36',i.
The Big Ten won the 449
yard relay for the first time in
six years and followed up with
another first place, by Camp
bell Kane of Indiana . In the
mile run. for a 15 to 8 edge ever
the westerners after three
events.
The Big, T e n's quarter-mile
relay team of David Trepanier,
Ohio State; Dick Kelley, Minne
sota; Lee Farmer, Iowa, and Rob
ert Wright, Ohio State, tapped off
tne distance in 41.7 seconds. The
Pacific coast team was without
its ace speedster, Hal Davis of
California, who was being saved
for his dash specialties.
Cliff Bourland of Southern
California gave the west its first
event victory by winning the 440
yard run in 47.5 seconds.
