on how Lefty ODoul taught him to be a terror with the hit baton,
on his.30-.30 arm, etc. But we haven't seen a line on Pete's ability
to use his head for other than get

So let this be a tale revealing that
Chas. la also a heady ballgamer

series to the limit, the Chinooks finally winning the next night But
had it not been for Charley, it could've ended 4-2 for the Bells. They
were leading in the last of the ninth hi that sixth game, 2-1. Jerry
Shutt, a sidewheelef of the Bud Brewer, vintage, had the Pips on his

other hitting pitcher .named Meyers came through with another pinch

Bells, stumbled out to the box and instructed Shutt to walk both Ray

Jacobs was standing pat during the four waste ball pitches, Pete

that Shutt wasn't missing the outside of the plate by more than a

For All Aspirants -
- i - .
Two hundred and mebbe more
assorted kids from 12 to 17 years
old, all of 'em In their own minds
good enough to play Junior Amer
ican Legion baseball, will thunder
onto Georgei E. Waters park's
greensward today at one o'clock
as; Salem's new; Junior Baseball
league holds , its opening "pre
view" practice. Not a tryout ses
sion, the practice will be merely
a screening operation to class all
aspirants after they take turns at
batting, fielding, throwing, pitch
ing and catching.
Managers and sponsors for the
eight teams which are to operate
in the league will be on the field
with the players today, and after
the gigantic workout is over, the
managers will "choose sides" as
evenly as possible from what
they've seen. The league itself will
start the following Sunday in the
big 25th and Turner road orchard
in the form of a jamboree. All.
teams will play in a shortened
game, results of which will count
in the official standings. Since
the list of signees has dwarfed
even the largest expectations by
reaching the 200 mark, it is pos
sible the sponsors and league of
ficials will form another circuit
during their Monday night meet-
League President Oliver Hus
ton will address the gathering at
the outset of today's practice. AH
players are asked to file through
the third-base bleachers gate and
go immediately into those bleach
ers upon reporting. All will be
called in groups to exhibit their
pitching, catching, batting and
fielding abilities and will be lat
er assigned to a league team. Play
ers should bring their own gloves
and spikes. They might also bring
along favorite bats or balls, al
though such equipment is to be
supplied by the sponsors for the
practice session. All will be asked
to listen carefully for instructions
as insubordination will not be
tolerated. A tremendous task faces
the managers and coaches in sift
ing' such a group, and the kids
are asked to cooperate as much as
possible. V
In the event that it rains today,
all players are asked to report re
gardless. The; league must get
started next week and instruc
tions will bej given despite the
weather.
Prospective players will . be
asked to again sign up upon en
tering the park, 12-year-olds on
one sheet, 13year-olds on anoth
er, and on up: to 17.
The managers and coaches will
present their findings to the league
officials Monday night and teams
will; then be stocked. Upon com
pletion of assignments, the spon
sors will -draw for a team. Pre
ference is not to be shown in any
respect -
