I il
ways ballplayers attempt to break those gosh-awful slumps
they gi into from time ta time diange their stances at the
plate, change this, change that. change their likker change
anything to shake fhs slump. But the supreme payoff happened
right in our neighboring Pacific
Coast league on the Sacra
mento Senator nine (no relation
to the Salem legislators, al
though Sacramento plays Port
land today and Salem plays
'em Monday mght (plug).)
Bouncing along In last place
a few weeks back and unable
to even look like the swash
buckling speedsters of last sea
son, three of the Sacramento
regulars -decided that in order
to bust the slump they should
shave xieir heads bald. If
you've seen this week's Sport
ing News ycu'll also see what
we mean.
Steve Mcsner, Deb Garms
and Lee Handley were the boys
who cooked up the hairless
idea, and agreed that neither
would wear a hat off the ball
field in lieu of forfeiting of $25 to
with the dome "covered while down town, etc.
Evidently the screw-ball agreement has paid its dividends,
as it isn't the Portland Beavers leading the Coast circuit today,
and it was Garms who hit a home run off Byron Speece the
other night to add anoftier win to the Sac side.
And -as it would happen, the three Solons, needless to say,
reluctant to doff their caps in front of the crowd at Sacramento,
were victims of a conspiracy the national anthem was played
and they had to unveil the freshly mown pates, much to the
uproarious crowd's Relight.
Senators Could Stand Clipping
(Suggest that the Salem Senators go to the nearest
barber for a head clipping before every Jaunt to Vancouver
at least they couldn't do any worse If they were bald-
headed.)
Which takes us back to the time San Diego played Salem
here last season. Padre Catcher George Detore, who doesn't
need the clippers to be bald headed, was caught midway be
tween the dugout and the catcher's box when the seventh in
ning rendition came forth, and much to his chagrin had to
hibit his pet peeved something heordinarfly never does. -
Jacob Had the Right Idea
Appease that Bay Jacob was right about Spokane first
acker Vic Buccola. Jacobs claimed that Buccola had really
"arrived" this season, and lust as soon as the 19-year-old
youngster puts on a little- more weight will make some of
the scouts do considerable figuring on fust how much they
want to give for the spindly-legged flash.
Vic broke in wrfh the Spokes last season as an understudy
to Frank Milani and consequently saw very little action. But
Jacobs handed him the regular assignment this season, and
one look at the daily box scores or weekly baiting averages
shows feat there wasn't any mistake made in the assignment.
The sweet-fielding smoathy is hitting along at a neat .308, good
enough for the No. 2 spot in the league, has hit seven triples
and as many doubles and is third in the loop averages in those
all-important runs batted in. An idea of his speed is borne out
by the fact mat he has stolen 17 bases already. And when a
player on a last place dub, which is generally always behind,
is up in there with -his stolen bases, he doesn't get them the
easy way.
Watch Out for BUI Johnson
Speaking of stolen bases, the Messrs. Mallory of Van
couver aad Baccola will have to keep hustling after those
thefts if they expect to beat out our Bill Johnson, who gets
our vote as being one of the best base runners ever in the
circuit Five times this season Bill has swiped home, and
the better part of the rest of his thefts hare been those of
third base.
Most fans don't realize it, but it is much easier to steal
third than it is second. Shhhh don't tell the pitchers.

From Behind; Final
Round Played Today
By CHARLES DUNKLEY
CHICAGO, June 20-;p)-Tiny
Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa., in a
dogged challenge, came from be
hind Saturday to tie Mike Tur
nesa for the, 54-hole lead in the
Hale America national open golf
tournament at Ridgemoor Coun
try club with a total of 203.
The Texas-born Hogan, leading
money winner among the profes
sionala for the past three years,
led Turnesa, the White Plains,
NY, pro, hy a single shot going
to the 18th, but there he was un
lucky enough to drive his iron
tee shot into a trap at the left of
the green. His second was barely
on the edge of the carpet, '13 feet
j short of the cup, and he took two
putts to hole out for a bogey 4
the first time he had cone over
par in 38 holes.
Turnesa started Saturday's 18
hole third round with a three
stroke lead, in his 131 total, but
the heavy conditions of the fair
ways, and soggy greens slowed
him down' to a 38-34 72, even
par. Hogan was not bothered by
the weather, however, and posted
a 33-3669.
Their cards:
Par out 455 8444S4-38

Thus, It appeared certain that

battle it oat in the final IS holes
Sunday. They- may face sertoes
opposition from Jimmy Dem

Western International league
baseball decision over the team
that handed them a two-hit blank
last night The win evened the
series at three games each. -
Lefty Al Lien kept the tribe
in check while his Taconta
mates, led by Joe LoForte and
Dave Molitor, were abusing
three Spokane pitchers with 14
hits. LoForte hit safely four
times in six visits to the plate
and MoHtor connected in three
of five. r
There was never much doubt
of the outcome after the Tigers
batted around in the fourth to
tally four runs on four singles,
walk and a hit batsman. Spo
kane replied with three runs on
Clint Cameron's double, . a walk,
two errors and a single, but it
was merely a gesture.
Lien walked three men and
hit one, but struck out six. Hank
Bushman was pounded off the

Jimmy Hicks dealt far twe

streak with the Vancouver Capilanos, Salem's Senators won the
first game of a daytime-nightime doubleheader here Saturday,
3 to 2. Burton Swope did the
pitching for the Senators and held
the Caps to six hits in chalking up
his fifth win of the season.
Bob Henricksen was coasting
along with a 2-9 lead for the
Caps, obtained on three hits in
the fourth inning, until the Sa
lem half of the seventh. Jack
Warren got one of his three
hits and Bill Johnson doubled.
Eddie Adams walked and ad-,
vaneed to second on Henricksen's
wild pitch. Warren scoring, then
Jack Richards drove Johnson
and Adams home with a single.
Those three runs were all
Swope needed to give Salem its
first win of the series.
Jack Warren led the eight-hit
Salem attack with three singles
in four tries.
Henricksen stopped Claude
O'Connell's hitting streak cold for
the first time this season by hang
ing the horse collar on the Salem
outfielder in four attempts.
Vancouver came back in the
nightcap, 4 to 2, on five hits off
BUI Kelly, who helped lose his
own game because of wildness.
Salem got both her runs off
Pete Jonas in the first inning on
three singles, but Vancouver tied
it up in the third when Kelly
walked two and served a three
base hit ball to Bill Wright.
The Caps got single runs in the
seventh and eighth, another walk
and Salem's lone error figuring in
both tallies. c.
Jonas pitched seven-hit ball lor
tbe Caps and after the first inning
was invincible with men on bases.

The Louis oase tracks back tt -
his two charity bouts, aud he ii
put in the unfortunate position oi '
appearing to be asking for a re
ward for his donations. It is in
conceivable that his astute ad
visers were not aware of his tas -obligations
at the times he fought
for nothing. Yet nothing was said
about the debt until it appeared ;
doubtful that the champion would
be allowed to fight again.
Then it was disclosed, with th
natural public reaction that in- -asmuch
as Louis had so charitably.,:
donated his services he should be
permitted to fight for himself.
Charity begins at borne, aa '
