Soldiers Practice Emergency Pleasures in Olinger Pool Facilities of the Olinger play ground swimming pool are be ing turned over five boors a day all this week to troops of sol diers under military supervi sion who are practicing emer gency measnres or, what a soldier should do when he sud denly finds himself face to face with a large body of water. The soldiers go" through their maneuvers from S to 12 a. m daring which time the pool is 'Maybe we're talking out of turn again since. we only too well remember how baseball's little czar, the good Judge W. G. Bram ham first verbally undressed us and then threatened to wipe tis out completely and how Warden George Alexander looked at us later as If he would relish hav-: ing our hide going through one or his mill's flax strippers all resulting from our almost sue-1 cessful attempt to get Big Luke'; Qrosswhite ,Qut tV pitch a fewf; benefit games for,the to'Seni ators last summer, but ' we were i just thinking how nice it would be to have the pen nine. and the Timber-Wolves do benefit ball; battle in Geo. E. Waters park! some' sunny Sunday afternoon. T We hadT a chance the other day ta ask most of the State; streets ballgamers how "they were get-: ting; along these day with their, club, and- all agreed that since ' their,big Indian ace, John' Ward j; , js jit fairly good shape and since J a-crackin - good lefthander -has - 1 joined the team recently along with a couple other good looking ballplayers, they could take care of themselves against any! ger viceelub in the state, including the Timber Wolves. -" ?A while back Timber Wolf Athletic Director .Bob Duffy told us he'd . like to cook up a game with the Greys in the big ball park. So by put ting that one and one together, you gettwolocal nines going at it for charity. You'll recall how the Greys went to Portland twice last sum mer and pulled some 4000 fans into Vaughn street park both times with all receipts going' to benefit funds. And how, despite the fact that the home town Portland Air I Base provided; the opposition for the cons, most, of the fans hooted and howled for a victory, for the; men f OSP. - . i " . i : . , -.-.-": : i - . ,.' - , : ; -. -. - :-" , -' - l - Br am ham Couldn't Louse It Up r We put the proposition before Alexander the other day -(making. certain at the time that certain doors and windows were open for . retreat) and he thought It would probably be all right and would -think It over." Considering that proposed game would be against a service club and for a worthy, benefit, why wouldn't it be perfectly all right? One thing certain Bramham couldn't get his big nose to rootin' around in it, anyway. Coming right down to it, Bramham was the gent alone responsible for lousing up the Crosswhite deal of last summer.- ' , v. Speaking of Crosswhite, OSFs greatest pitcher is said to. have -gained the permission of both. Oregon and Missouri officials to ; leave Oregon and is now back home In Missouri working In an ice plant for sixty backs per weelu When Lake got back into circula tion again last fall he said he was going to work like biases in a shipyard until he saved enough to go back home, and then was going to settle down there for good. " ' Pen Has ' Real Mile Prospect Gurnec Flesher and Tommy Dryn"an,'who know practically at. first glance a good track prospect when they sec one, had eyes for one Bob - Johnson when the SHS pair watched Johnson tour the mile during the Pen relays Monday. A tall and rangy lad of 19 years, Johnson grace fully loped the mile in 4:28.2 to win the event and had both Flesher nd Dry nan mumbling super adjectives when be finished." ' ' The 4:28.2 was Johnson's time all right, but' since he eight-lapped a trifle short 220-yard oval he didn't quite run a mile. Judging from the way he did run, however, we'd say he would, have been under 4:50 at least had he actually romped a measured mile. j - It wasn't the time nor the distance which brought the gawks . from Flesher, and Drynan It was the case and gracefollness with which Johnson ate op the yards. And mind you, now, Johnson and . the rest of the OSP eindermen do all that Fourth frolicking sans ; such things as p re-meet workouts, practicing, etc. . Another up and coming athlete in the institution is Johnny: Hof fert, the former Salem high trackster. A few of the boys on the Inside would bet their 'makin's that Hoffert is the fastest runner in the place. He plays en the Greys nine, too. ' i The S ports Front1 5 Years Ago : i f .
