Since our gone west WIL isn't around tbj inhale and exhale
the baseball weather this spring because of fier hiberation for
the duration, we add to her obituary a few oft the records,! high
lights and other outstanding incidents which came to pass in the
t.2 arrri ",
DON OSBORN
don Wilkie, Larry Powell, Harvey Storey, Neill Cliff ord and Mary
Rickert of Tacoma, who achieved success by landing with Dodgers,
Pirates, Red Sox, Cubs, Cincy Reds and Cubs respectively at one time
or another; Russ and Lloyd Christopher, Mike DeJan, Milo Candini,
Al Gearhauser, Vince DiBiasi and Ed Kearse from Wenatchee to
Yanks, Athletics, Reds and the last four to the Yankees respecticely,
and Froilan "Nanny" Fernandez from Yakima to Boston Braves.
Many Stopped Over on Way Dotcn f
Stopping over In the circuit on their wayj down the ladder
were such former diamond stars as, Hal Rhyne, Lou Garland,
Smead Jolley. Wes Schulmerich. Berly Horrte, Glenn Wright,
Ken Penner, Jimmie Reese, Bernie DeVlverosi Johnny Kerr, Hal
Sueme, Eddie Wilson, Andy Harrington, Roy Chesterfield and
Moose Clabaugh all or whom added color galore during their
Vnures in the loop. I
And all those say nothing of the many who; went up and came
down from the Coast wheel and other circuits ib between the WIL
and the majors. J
Far and above all the powerhouse hitters who strode to the
WIL plates with mace in hand was the' "Bijf Smudge" Jolley.
He still holds all-time loop records for individual batting, runs
batted in and two-base hits, all picked up in that big 1940 year
when Smead hit .373, drove in 181 runs and laced out 56 doubles
for Spokane.. - f T
Schulmerich, as dept as a clown as he was i pitcher's nightmare,
led the loop in hitting the first season, 1937, jjwith a .367 average
while managing the Lewiston, Idaho, club. Lewiston also set an in
comparable record that year by taking 23 consecutive losses. Inci
dentally, Lewiston became Bellingham in '38 and Bellingham in turn
became Sale min 1940. I
Jolley s Gun Had Biggest Boom m
Dave Goodman of Tacoma was batting champ in 1938 with a
.337 average when the league developed into a pitcher's paradise
and adopted the "dead" ball. The "rabbit" ball came back in '39
and Bill Skelly copped the crown for Wenatchee right out from
under 'mate Lloyd Christopher's nose with; a .366 mark. Jolley
in '40 and again in '41 for Vancouver, the last time with a .345
mark, and our own Jack Richards .3512 barely nosed out Van
couver's Clarence Maddern's .3510 for the title last summer.
Tacoma 's Morry Abbot swatted out 37 homers in 1939 for the
all-time high mark in that-department and in 140 our Bucky Harris,
Paul McGinnis of Spokane and your writer,; ilso an "ex," all had
18 triples for the recognized all-time high. Yipu can skip this, but
your "ex" was also the, most missingest mesher in the circuit's his
tory, fanning 145 times in 1939 for BellinghamJ
Vic Buceola's 52 stolen bases last summer for Spokane is
tops and Tacoma's, (as well as Willamette's at one time) Stubby
Harriman sacrificed 21 times in 39 for the high in that depart
ment. ;
Feared Pete Hughes of Spokane was passed 156 times in '41 for
high and Arnold Traxler, at home in wtestlerjs tights just as much
as on the diamond, got in the way of pitched j balls most by getting
hit 18 times while with Wenatchee in '40. Traxler unseated us that
year since iresn ousner that we
wnicn was mrectiy mt.
Miller's 24 Wins a Record j
Oscar "Red" Miller, well known in semi-pro circles here
a bouts lew, hung-up the most wins for any) one season 24 for
Yakima in 1937. But Don Osborn's IS wins and 3 losses in 1941
and 22 and 5 last year earn the ex-Vancouver pitcher-manager
the title of outstanding moundsman in the life of the league. I
'Osborn's 1.63 earned run average compiled last season is also
tops in the ch-cuU and bested the 1.79 Fleming had in '38. Fleming's
mark that year was the best in all organized baseball, by the way.
Strikeout king of the circuit was Floyd tLefty" Isekite of Ta
coma. In '38 Lefty mowed down 241 batters the hard way. Yakima's
Howard Johnson hit 18 batters in 7 for higlji and Bob Williams of
Wenatchee walked 186 and wild pitched 24 times in 1941 to take the
laurels in those departments, i j f i
Pennant Winners Altcays FaUed ,
" Spokane's amazing .315 team batting average In 1940 was r
tops by far and in. '41 and '42 the Vancouver team fielding mrk "
of .C each year proved to be the best ever.
Wenatchee and Tacoma each-won a half pennant. in '37 with
thet Tigers getting the, flag via a olavoff. YakJm. nr.,,
ham In 38, although the Oiinoolu
. j "ui-u up me pennant in -39 but I Tacoma again demon
atrated that the pennant winner seldoni 'eWes through Sin the
Ehaughnessys by nabbing the 39 playoffs. Spokane's fine clubs came

Yet, Cardinal fortunes have not

that similar military contributions
have weakened the majority of

the parent club with a group of

convict bobbles accounted for
almost half the 'Cat scores.

mound chores for Keene's outfit
and allowed in all only four hits.
Toolson was touched for hte lone
prison tally.
Art Balrd smashed out a long
homer in the third . and Ben
Schad hung a triple high on one
of the cell blocks In the six-run
eighth for. Willamette. Don Hil

tributed a couple of run-scoring
blows apiece In the 'Cat assault.
The Greys, minus, the services of
their famous pitcher, big Luke
Crosswhite, who's now .out on par
