Surp
It
Odd one comes in from Pat Beal, all-around man from principal
- on down st Jefferson high, wanting' to know how to correctly, solve
this situation: Jefferson Was playing Aumsville in a baseball came
not long ago and was two runs ahead, 5-3. Aumsville, the visiting
team, was at bat with the bases
loaded and with one out lit the
agreed-upon 7-inning game. It had
. been raining the entire game, but
at this point the storm turned to
cloudburst proportion and it simp-'
ly had to be called. The Jeffersons
.claimed the win in lieu of the
fact that over half the 7-inning
"game had been played. Aumsville
ctaimed the Jeffs were all wet in
two ways and protested officially.
That's just where it hung when
Beal was stttl trying to scratch
out the answer during the district
T track fiesta last week.
Naturally, had the game been
of 9-innings duration beforehand,
it would have gone on the books
as no contest since the official
4Vi innings were not played. The
Aumsville protest would require
. that the game be taken up exactly from where it left off bases
loaded, one out etc in order to decide it That is, if it had been
scheduled for nine heats instead of seven. But then if it had been
scheduled for nine, Aumsville wouldn't have had cause to protest
- lor Jefferson couldn't possibly have claimed victory. We've thumbed
through every record book in the joint and can find nothing which
alleviates a situation such as 4 16 innings played in a 7-inning game
- being enough for a win. Under 9-inning professional rules, the
game would have to.be played over in. entirety. But it was an ama
teurs' game scheduled for seven. ..' ,
: A problem needing an answer.; Anyone who can solve it rightly,
please get in touch with Principal Beat Our helpless response fin
ally amounted fef, 'WotVett you playing in the rain for in the
first place?. -
4 Salem Senator ' Day' Sunday
: Could well have been called "Salem Senator Day" Sunday at
Portland's Vaughn street park enough former village favorites were
around to warrant it for sure. For instance that second game. There
was Roy Helser pitching it, Eddie Adams catching it and beUering
that familiar "Cmon, Roy, showjne wbatcha.got", Charlie Petersen
" in center field. Duke Windsor in. the bull pen and Trisco Edwards
umpiring. And we saw no less than 50 villagers in the stands watching,-another
familiar touch since many were the times no more than
90 braved watching the boys when they were class B performers.
Quite a day they had, too. Helser won his game, Trisco got no
real loud boos, Peter got three hits, Adams drove him in once with
' another and Windsor was the envy of the multitude lying out on
' the bull pen grass in . the warm sunshine. And when the boys had
so much to do with Portland's winning that last game, we just
couldn't help but think of an old baseball adage "If you can't beat
em, get 'era on your side;"' Recalling of course the fruitless efforts
of the pre-war Beavers against the village nine when those stal-
- warts were on our side. '
" Pete's love for the game has already cost him six bottles of ar
nica and two rolls of tape, and before the season is out UH probably
cost him a lot more.. He's frozen to his war industry job, which re
quires that be be at -work at 7 U. m., stand on his feet ail day and
finish around 4:30 p. m. He then fights the traffic to get home to
eaU leaves right afterward and goes to the ball park. It's at least
midnight before he gets home following the game and he's up again
at 9:30 so's he can be to work again at seven.
A guy must love baseball a lot to whip off a schedule like that
' every .day, eh? And on lop of it all, Chas. hadn't touched a baseball
all winter or spring when he was bought by the Bevos and put to
i work In center field! After Sunday's double bill he could hardly walk.
Bum One Minute, Hero th Next
Couldn't help but catch this proof of how superbly fickle a ball
fan really is, offered by a talkative gent parked directly behind us
Sunday: Petersen had just looked at a third strike go by, same thrown
by 49-year-old Herman "Old Folks" -Pillette In the first game. He
had hit three consecutive line drives in previous times at bat aU
' being caught but it made no difference to the long-winded custo
mer behind us. fLookit thaV hissed the fan, "what th heU did they
go and spend good money for a player like him? He never could hit
Phooey!" -. .
";'" Came the second game and Pete walloped out his three straight
bits, the third of which was a well-tagged double to left-center.
Ah!" beamed the same guy. That was the smartest deal Portland
ever made, buyin' him. Yes .sir" ;V; x
Itll never change In. the customers mind, either. One minute

Battle Royal
Hefb "Pinky" Parks, still as
dynaniic as ever he was when he
rassled here a few years ago, made
his 1944 debut In slam-bang style
last flight at the armory before
nearnr 1000 customers and won
himself the top stipend of war
stamps in the bristling battle roy
al He whipped Toothless Tougie
Porter in the finale, two falls of
three, the latter requiring a brief
overtime period.
Almost as welcome as Parks'
win ver the Tacoma heel was the
discomposure of Gorgeous Georgie
Wagner in the first five minutes
of the strictly hilarious "royal."
Parks, Tex Hager and Walt TV
Sneeze" Achiu. all cleanies. took
care jpf Georgie In A-l shape. They
took I turns butting him into the
proper position and then all f ell
topside. Hager was next when
Parks and Billy McEuin ! hopped
aboajrd together. It took all three
left to send. Achiu out a few min
utes ater as the royal hit its peak
and jhad most of the multitude
on their feet Then a rugged leg
s temper on McEuin by Parks while
Achiu sneaked back in the ring
to juj jitsu Porter out of the way
took! care of the- Texas j meanie
pal of Wagner's.' That set it 'up for
an Achlu-McEuin semiwindup and
the Parks-Porter main event
Achiu and McEuin went 20 min
utes In a corker before Th Sneeze
finally put the crusher on Mac
withfa long series of leg locks and
stompers. He did it so effectively
McEuin couldn't answer for the
next I faU and Achiu took . down
the $100 in war stamps.
Porter grabbed the first fall
over I Parks with hammer locks
wnerf tne pair went at it in their
thrillier. But Parks, exhibiting a
crop of fresh mat tricks, roared
backand brought more roars by
taking the second with a "Cana
dian! stomp" Porter flat on his
back and helpless beside an arm
bar With Parks kicking him trip
hammer style smack in the face.
He liust have kicked Porter ful
ly 250 times while the mob howled
and bowled before Porter finally
gavelup. They were still going at
it inNo.' 3 when the time limit
intervened, and when Referee El
ton Owen couldn't decide who to
givefthe win to they agreed on
another five minutes. It took cat
like I Parks just I Vt minutes to
butt! drop-kick and slam Porter
for tjie victory and $200 worth of
Uncle Sam's best. Toothless
Toughie got $100 worth. ,

Boxing Foe
LONDON, May 9-iff)Staff Sgt
Joe Louis, heavyweight" boxing
champion, surprised American sol'
diers and others before whom he
has appeared almost nightly in ex
hibitions by naming Max Baer
today as the toughest opponent he
ever met He nominated Baer in
an ail-opponent team selected for
Stars and Stripes, servicemen's
publication. ' ,1
Billy Conn, who came close to
lifting Joe's crown at New York's
Polo Grounds in 1941, and the
challenger he probably will meet
first in the post-war era, was
named five times in the mythical
lineup, however. Louis rated Conn
not only as the smartest of all his
opponents, but also the fastest, the
possessor of the most effective Jeft
and the one with the best-off eose
and best defense. In another sur
prise, Joe named Jim Braddock as
having the most potent right not
Max Schmeling who flattened him
in 12 rounds in New York in 1936.
"I - pitched more strikes against
Baer than I did against a half doz
en ordinary opponents," Louis said
in explaining his choice. On the
other side, Joe said the hardest
punch he ever landed was the one
that chilled Paulino Uzcudun in
the fourth round in New York, in

DAN HARMON FOR CONGRESS
- The . Republican party, expects
to get our country out of this
mess, but it cant do so by re
electing the same old crowd of
lawyer-politicians who got us in
to the alphabetical soup. To be
progressive, the Republican Party
must get the "old timers' out and
put some progressive men in
Congress. DAN HARMON Is such
a man. He is successful.
i DAN HARMON believes in
thrift hard work and honesty, as
a foundation of progressive ac-.
tion. In Congress do we want suc
cess or seniority? j
Congress has been full of sen
iority (men too old to put up a
good fight) for years let us try
success instead of seniority for a
change. ; ; zi ,. r , y-J:
