olon Streak Soars To Larry French CREEPING UP By.Sords teaiglhlt; Win 6-4 .Five Satan. Oregon, Thursday 7i Salem's younger athletes are probably disappointed no end gince their annual "civil wars" have been taken from them .for the duration, but if they only knew it the whole shift means a line, break for all the kids who like football, basketball, baseball and track at both Leslie and Parrish. . In the past only a select group formed the nucleus for the football team in the fall, the basketball team in the winter and the baseball and track teams in the spring. In fact a good two- thirds of respective Leslie and Parrish athletic squads were four gtar lettennen, winding , up one sport and starting right in on the next Which meant that the littler fellows sat in the background with the desire to play, but couldn't 'cause the big guys were taking over. - Vnder the new set-up ALL the athletic minded youths of both in stitutions, as well as those in" the senior high, will be giveh a golden opportunity to participate in all sports, regardless of size, as the new program stresses indulgence by every boy in the schools, and will be arranged so that all will be afforded a chance toward de velopment. JVenr Head Coaches As was hinted before, the Blg Three" of the junior highs will undoubtedly wind up the Bit Three" of the senior high before long. Nothing has been nude public yet by the school board, but it appears Vik foot ball destinies in the coming season will be guided by Tom my Drynan and basketball by Frank Brown. Gurnee Flesher has already been moved up to Gloomy Gus" Gilmore's head man spot If Drynan and Brown do advance to the 14th and D Institution, there's the question will all three serve only for the duration until Lieutenants Gilmore and Harold Hauk re turn? Chances are the war It self will answer that one. Don't Give Up Yet Speaking of advances, move-ups and the likes, if the town Senator twirlers can hold their own from here in, despite all the woes which have befallen our 25th and Turner roadsters, they're still what could be called (?) a fairly potent outfit-True .they have no manpower, but the regulars of to day are lashing along at a .289 clip for team batting, and a cou ple of the boys are becoming more and more dangerous with the wil low. Of course Skeets O'Connell wOl have to do some tall stroking- to keep up his- .400 average, . bat Sam Taormlna and Phil Salstrom have been gaining . steadily, and it wouldn't be im : possible- for Sam to keep right on 'going to the top. Ton know he was leading the California, loop with a .375 average when It did the el foldo. ' Lefty Jack Richards is still well up in there with his percentage, . and Alf Cailteaux, Manager Pete and Curly Leininger are clipping along steadily in the .270s. If the lineup can maintain that Tate with the willow and the mound crew can throttle the op position, our Legislators won't be to disgraceful after all. Incidentally, all Manager Pete need do now Is play the shortstop and third base slots and he will have been in every position on the team and not Jnst for fun either. That's one for the books. Grounders & Pickups An odd thing all four VVIL clubs have lost money this sea son, but all four have made a , few thousand dollars possible for various war reliefs and ben efits. Which proves baseball even In class B can do Its share. And Salem will help throw in another wad with the city un ions as a result of "Union La bor Night" on August 81 ... . Yes, that's the same Bill Beard back In there catching for Se . attic But Bill won t be there long as he's passed his Induc tion physical and will be shoul dering arms but soon ... rncKEY Announces ' Tune In National "Eat" Wave Sialisa CBCxC Corned Beef & Cabbage Every Toes. 350 and.
