Friend Adams Has a Reed Friend '
Friend Eddie Adams has no one but Mrs. Gee. E. Waters to
thank new that chameleon-like Judge W. G. Bramham has re
instated him to baseball's good graces with the Beavers." Eddie,
you'll recall. Jumped the Senators club In mid-term last summer -and
in so doing left the already' staggering home town heroes In
' a fearful spot. Had the management of the Solons-not been con
siderably and rightfully lred over Adams unorthodox departure
. he wouldn't have been placed on the Ineligible list. "
When Adams signed with Portland last month we warned from
our wee corner here that baseball justice was not being done and let
it go at that The wheels of Bramham's office finally bumped onto the
snag it just took a matter of a few weeks for the National associa
tion czar to discover the misdoing and: Eddie was properly put in
his place. , : . . . . , ; j - - . .-
But Mrs. Waters, having a much bigger heart than most people
rive her credit for having, and knowing that Adams rightfully
belonged on the S-ball scroll, nevertheless sent her forgiveness ;
for Adams to Bramham and he In turn wiped Eddie's nose clean
again. Had she felt of a mind to, and she certainly had reason to
feel that way, Eddie could have been left high and dry and outV.
of baseball 'till hades freezes over.
In dickering fof Mrs. Ws okeh. Boss Bill Klepper of the Beavers
admitted that he didn't know whether it was all worth while or not.
Seems Adams has threatened to jump the Beaver dub once or twice
for monetary reasons already this season r

part of another kind of annual celebration this one fostered

Just a thought, but what's happened to all that meowing we used to
read about the Lucky ; Beavers being unlucky because they wede
called lucky? Begins to look like the only gent who had the Beavers
pegged from the very beginning Is 'Frisco Edwards. Remember how
he warned us right after the first week of the season "Don't give up
on Portland as there's a. good ball club, and it'll finish in the first

Nervous Pattjr
Down to Cop Medalist Honors
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN r
CHICAGO, June 28-ff-It took Patty Berg three attempts
to tee up her ball on the first hole Monday she was just that
shaky- but her following drive screamed 220 yards down the
fairway. .--: j "--:.- Vi-'-.,,z
The Minneapolis redhead who
had to lean to walk again, let
alone play golf, dropped a 15
foot putt for a birdie on that
first hole and confidently con
tinued from there to post an
even par 71 and win medalist
honors of the women's west
ern open.
Back in 1941, she captured med
al honors and went on to win the
open championship. That Decem
ber her knee was Injured in an
auto accident. After 18 months she
has come back, and her return
represents one of sport's greatest
uphill struggles against a handi
cap.
, -1 definitely did not expect
to qualify," said the modest 25-year-old
Fatty. "1 waa plenty
rattled on the first tee, but that
birdie really cooled me off. This .
Glen Oak course with its gentle
slopes Is made for me. When I
have to pivot on sharp down
hill or uphill lies,; that's when
my knee pains."
Patty was hitting her shots per
fectly. Her long drives caught the
rough only twice and she found
only one trap. Her card showed
a 37-39, even par, fashioned on
one birdie and one bogey on each
nine and the rest in seraight regu
lation figures. She one putted two
