"Iowa" Joe Murray, late of the Willamette hardwood and
diamond Bearcats, writes a "hello" to his friends from Columbia
university in New York, where he's attending US naval reserve
midshipman's school. Joe says it's a rugged life, and since his
arrival over a week ago he can't see where they're going to have
any time for athletics. Adds there are plenty of names athletes
from all over the country there,
however.

Bill says he certainly doesn't
like riding the bench, but inas

blames the reason for his bench

Tacoma TigersJ ,' - ;:. . - x
The town Solons started out in I
quest of their fourth straight win
with the same nine which had
carried them to 10 wins in their
previous 16 starts, but when Ta
coma dented the dish seven times
in the second inning, our side was
forced to retaliate with two pitch
ers in the outfield and two out
fielders In the infield to start off
the third inning.
Illness forced Alf Cailtcaux
from the game In the second
frame, and an Infected knee
sent Curly Robbe to the side
lines in the same Inning. Man
ager Fete took oyer Robbe's
shortpatch spot and Curly Leln
inrer came in to second. Kenny
Clow took care of the center
garden and was flanked in left
by Bud Moore.
And it was an easy, play sent
awry by the ailing Cailteaux in
the second which set the torch to
the torrid Tacoma attack, although
Georee Babich's wildness didn't
help much.
Babich started out by passing
Koehler, but would have survived
had Robbe been able to hobble to I
catch CaUteaux's double
play start , after fielding Schanz'
easy, roller. But Curly couldn't
make it and Cailteaux threw to
Richards, pulling Jack off the bag.

Then came the supreme pay
off and the first of its kind hit
here this season. After getting
a couple of strikes on big Joe
Brevia, Babich served one to
Joe's liking and he belted It
over the right wall for a grand
slammer and Tacoma's seventh
.tally.
Meanwhile Salem had picked up
a run off Johnson in the first and
got another in the second, Tiger

got another in the third on Rich
