Newspaper Page TextSEC. WAGE 6 When we drove the boys of tem to Portland for their game Sunday night we came back with one less "Con" than went norm wnn ine nera. von nas- mussen thumbed a ride toPort . land with the boys, leaving the club there for his home in " Washington. . Phoo? Yeah, it has the faint odor of a bad smell at that. Re ' minds us of some of the umpir ' lng we've seen in the WIL this season. i, Pictured alongside this item 'is one Frank Valerio, or, as oft en referred to by vociferous ... fans at Geo. E Waters park, "Onp-Fve ." We don't mean in say that Valeria's umpiring FRANK. VALERIO was stinko before he quit the circuit last Sunday he booted 'em at times like they all do, but there may have been a reason be hind it all. . "One-Eye's" draft board was sounding the call to arms, his blind Tom partner left him not long ago, the league hadn't been keeping up with the monthly salary payments. On top of that the hotel clerks, restaurants and hack drivers were taking .advantages of "One-Eye" and his poorly lined pocket-book. . :' ; . Stu Keate, Vancouver scribe, cornered the talkative and pessimistic "One-Eye" not long ago, and following is the result of the conversation.'- The current situation." (In re Orre-Eye'a pocket book), "has him genuinely worried and he's ready to toss In the toweL It reached the payoff In Spokane the other night when he was forced to take a taxi-cab out to the field and the cab by charged him $1.10. , "I like to died," says Valerio, with gestures. "I like to died. Last year it way 45 cents. I pleaded with the guy. 'Look, Buddy I told him, 'I'm only a working stiff, an umpire.' 'In that case, you blind Tom, I should charge that?" IVo Wonder No Crowds m J "I was telling Bill TJlrich about it and he wouldn't be-' Ueve me. So next night he took a cab out to the park from his resturcmt and they charged him 85 cents. Migawd he says, 'and I've been wondering why I'm not drawing any crowds In this town.' " The worst situation of all, says Frank, is in Tacoma where y defense industries have skyrocketed prices. Hotels are up 50-75 cents a night and calling them hotels is giving them a break at that Ham and eggs are six-bits, and you can't get a dinner un- der a dollar. ' . v Tn tellin' ya." says Valerio. "every time I work Ta coma I Just lay my check on a table and tell the boys to come and get it On an eight-day stand I figure I'm out there lettin' them fans call me a blind man and a robber and a bum for nothin.' When you come right down to it I guess I must be, or I wouldn't do It ' '. "It finally got so bad I had to write home to Sacramento for money." So maybe "One-Eye" wasn't so blind after all after those experiences his $21 per month in the army should mete out a profit for him. , Bud Moore Rejected by Army They say- fit can only rata so much before the sun fi nally comes .out such is the case of "the plight of our Sen ators." Riddled by injuries, draft calls, bus breakdowns, rained out games, etc. 'the ray of light finally peeped through Saturday afternoon when a wire from army-drafted ' Bad Moore came from Portland Tve been rejected, will be - back Sunday."

With the second place ' Boston Red Six kept idle by weather, the defeat sliced the Yankee margin to three and a half games. Bonham, seeking his tenth victory, handcuffed the Brown ies on one hit through seven in nings but wound vp with his third straight setback and his fourth ef the year when the visitors exploded their game winning rally, although he yielded only five hits in all. The big right-hander started weakening in the eighth when Glenn McQuillen tagged him for a pinch triple that brought in the first St. Louis run. Then in the ninth Harold Clif t led off with a single, George McQuinn drew a pass and both advanced on Walt Judnich's sac rifice. Vera Stephens- skipped a tricky bounder through the box for the tying run and Mike Chartak't outfield fly brought HeQainn home and put the Browns ahead. Cket Labbs added a couple of unnecessary markers by blasting his 11th home run into the left field stands, scoring behind Steph ens.
