Sodcm. Orqoc WdnMdar Morning, August 12. 1942
Latest reports from the town
already down at the St. Mary's
in the coaches' physical fitness program, is now planning on
sticking right with it and applying for a commission in the air
corps. If such is true and he is accepted, it will mean head coach
number four will be lost by either Salem high or Willamette,
Lieutenants Vern Gilmore and
builder Howard Maple having
loss willcertainly be of no small
nature to this coining semesters
'Cat grid machine.
What9 to Blame?
The mere 800 paid admissions
to the Silverton-Salem benefit for
navy relief ball game Monday
night could be blamed on any
number of things, but it surely
should be blamed on something.
When only 800 people turn out to
see their home-town ball team play
against rivals of long standing in
their first meeting, and all the
proceeds of which will be turned
over to a-war cause, It makes one
wonder just what's not cookin'.
True a let of that sector's pub
lic are now enlaced In the can
neries and the harvests, and a
lot more have left the vicinity
for the services and shipyards.
Flos the shortage of time In
which the Silverton and Salem
American Lesion posts had to
distribute the advertising and
ticket sales, and you have a
probable reason why so few
pitched in.
It seems . rather odd that so
manv of the seats in the stands
were vacant, however, when Sil
verton has always been regarded
as QUITE the baseball town. And
If respective cheering by the
rooters for each team was any In
dication, at least a third of the at
tendance drove over from SaTem.
Unofficial reports from the
game sponsors say that only
about $400 will be realized for
the fund, and that figure does
not read a QmU of $500. Yes,
something should be blamed.
One Coxi4?, One Back
Losing Eddie Adams is just an
other of many blows to our Sen
ator ball gamers, but having
Claude "Skeets" O'Cojhnell back
In the lineup could more than
offset Eddie's loss. Manager Pete
will make a capable enough re
placement for Adams behind the
plate, and O'Connell's stickwork,
if he keeps it up to its past stac-
; cato, will be a large improvement
over Eddie's. And "Skeets" indi
m(x) in the Silverton came off
Roy Helser's slants, that he in
tends keeping as "close to, that
' .400 mark as the law of averages
allows. You remember O'Connell
was rapping right near that mark
when his two broken fingers
came.
From another ancle, Peter
sen win new have a much bet
ter opportunity to handle his
team from behind the plate
than he had In far off center
field.

BOSTON, Aug. ll.-)-The
New York Giants moved into
third place in the National league
Tuesday by downing the Boston
Braves, 6-4, as Van Lingle Mungo
chalked up his first pitching tri
umph for his new employers.
The victory, fifth in a row
for the New Yorkers, enabled
them to step over Cincinnati, a
full game ahead of the Reds,
who lost to the Pittsburgh Pi
rates. A five-run rally in the third
frame, when the Giants slammed
five of their 11 hits off Jim To
bin, was enough to keep Mungo
on top, but he had to be rescued
by Ace Adams in the midst of a
ninth inning uprising which pro
duced two Boston runs.

Education
War Cause
Leslie and Parrish junior high
a lieutenant in the navy.
Flesher said that the problems
confronted by every school
these days no transportation
facilities, 'shortage of coaches In
the school system and the new
dimout rule brought about the
discontinuation of future "North
vs. South" battles.
"However," he said, "in place
of the abandoned programs, the
Salem school system will comply
with the country's trend toward
advanced intramural sports, and
will schedule a strenuous program
in both Junior highs and the sen
lor Institution."
Qualified physical education in
structors will be engaged to coach
the various intramural activities
in each school, according to
Flesher, and where only a select
few participated on the respec
tive athletic squads in the past,
the new set-up wul afford every
boy in school an opportunity to
participate.
No new coaches or physical ed
ucation instructors have been an
nounced by the school board.
Athletic equipment which has
been used in the past by the two
Junior highs will be turned over
to the senior high for distribu
tion in the glgantle program
planned.
Flesher said that the junior
high schools would continue with
interclass sports of all kinds as in
the past, but each would now be
on a "more men on a team" scale.
The school board authorized the
complete shift to respective intra
mural programs, said Flesher.
Instead of having one football
team in each A and B classes, both
Leslie and Parrish will now en
gage in touch football between a
number of teams.
The new Vik head said there
was a possibility that a basketball
championship game between the
two junior highs would be held,
but as yet was indefinite.
No one has been named to re
place Flesher as director of ath
letics at Leslie, and just who
will handle football and basket
ball coaching assignments at the
enlor institution has not been
made public.
