SEC. 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.

Winners Five Hits
NEW YORK, July ll-(ff)-The
St Louis Browns caught up with
Ernie Bonham in the ninth inning
Saturday and staged a four-run
rally that gave them the final
game of. their series with the New
York Yankees, 5-2, after Jhe
American league leaders had won
the first 4wo by the same score.
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

winner to be presented with the
Pioneer Trust company's cup and
the runner-up with another cup
from the same sponsor.
Cline, winner of the club and
city championahlps in the past,
is slightly favored to add the
handicap tourney title to his
laurels, although he will have
an uphill battle all the way due
to the strokes he must give high
handicapped Woodry on 24 of
the 36 holes.
Woodry gained the finals with
a 2 and 1 victory over Don Young
last week while Cline was elim

Loses This ,
Ball Game
There was no ball game be
tween our Senators and Tacoma
at Tacoma Saturday night, and it
wasn't called off because of the
weather. The Solons' bus, which
is becoming more and more a
bucket of bolts," broke down in
the little Washington metropolis
of Kalama to such an extent that
it could not be repaired until
brought back to Salem.
The Tacoma club was con
tacted and asked to send their
bus to pick the Senators up so
as to be able to play Saturday
night, but said that the tires
on the Tacoma bus would not
allow such an extra trip. There
fore, the' Senators, left stranded
until BUI Johnson, Eddie Adams
and Jack Richards could return
to town for their autos, did not
make it to Tacoma on time for
the game.
The two clubs will engage m a
doubleheader today at 1:30 in

Seattle, McCormick had to fight
harder .for his victory, bat, he ,
stuck with it to beat out Bill
Welch of Houston, Tex' 2 and
L Welch won the national pub
lie links title here a year age
and will be the boss man of that
big tournament until It Is re
sumed at some future date.
Both Abbott and McCormick
are former national public links
kingpins,, the former winning the
title in 1936 and McCormick cap
turing it the following year.
Off their , respective perform
ances Saturday Abbott, one-time
bit" actor in. Hollywood, loomed
as the favorite to walk off with
the title. He was one' under par
for the 29 holes it took to V send
Givan, Himself an ex-Walker cup
player, to the sidelines.
McCormick's shots were off
line and he spent much of the
time scrambling around in the
woods of the tree-lined Manito
course. For the 35 holes neces
sary, to win, McCormick was
seven strokes ever par figures.
He made up for some of the
blunders by long-range putting -that
hit the buliseye and in this
department of the game Welch
was terrible to say the least He
also had more hook on his ball
than a major league pitcher.
