Keith Grimshaws Tonight All State Momidsmen Compete i As Crofoot and Hamlin Duel ' : It'i off to more state tournament softball wars tonight for our local Keith Brown bunch, one of four outside teams participating with 13 Portland entries in the chase for the state title at the Rose pity's Buckman field. " Tonight at 8:30 the Browiimen play, the strong Grimshaw Tire From the Bleachers By Troria Cross Pinch-bitting for Al Llghtner We're wonderinff how the pros and cons of the heavyweight vs. light heavyweight wrestling con troversy is s going to come out Maybe you didn't realize there was one, and for that matter nei ther did we, but it was certainly something to see the eyes of the light heavies light up when , they heard the bigger men were com ing to town. : . There's more jealousy afoot than is apparent and both groups have the suspi cion that Salem isn't 1 a r g e enough to draw for both- shows. There's a def inite J distinction between-the two types of exhibi tions and it ap forms than the O BARTUSH pears in other weight chart The light heavies get about much quicker and stage a fast - moving, often , hilarious match. On the other hand the gi ants prefer to waste little energy and they battle"-each other by matching strength against strength. We're hoping that no ill feel ings develop locally because' we think both shows have their mer its. One of the angles, inciden tally, behind the sudden schedul ing of the heavies, was for ar mory rental. It sounds queer at first, but Ira Pilcher is in charge of the armory and after losing Friday night dances, Pilch has at tempted to . bring in something worthwhile and at the same time keep the armory financially on its feet The boxing and wrestl ing commission stands behind both Pilcher and Elton Owen, the Tuesday night showman, and we think the fans will. Bartush Well Versed Str angler Ed Lewis has appar ently convinced Portland that he's nearly as good as he ever was. At least L. H. Gregory, Oregonian sports chief, said recently "Stran- gler Ed was the most colorful of all great mat men. Over his long career he drew more spectators than any other that ever lived; he traveled further was the origin al pioneer civilian long-distance flier and he was far and away the top showman of the game." Reading between the lines we ga ther Greg rates Lewis on a near- par with Jimmy Londos at the PRESENT time. For every 100 matches, Billy Bartush wrestles, he comes out on top 99 times, Is the boast of Karl Pojello, the ' one-time Lithuanian - champ who started Bartush in pro wrestling. Among - Bartuih'i achievements are the crowns of Swedish-A m e r 1 e a n titles and many . European honors.' Bartush fs a 235" pound man, stands 6 feet, M -inch and has speed to go with it Advance - notice points out that he' is well versed in both the catch-as-can and Greco - Roman style of wrestling. His "Bartush twist," really a grapevine from J standing position, is nearly as fa mous as Lewis' s tangle. , Speaking of Lewis again, we've been asked what the object was with which 1 he was pictured in Wednesday' edition. That was a contraption made of railroad freight springs that Lewis uses to train for his pet hold. ' , . - i . .. ! Benefit It Problem r Sunday's session of junior league baseball has been set as benefit performance but just how league directors plan to put over the collection of contributions, they themselves aren't certain. Two boys,"' one , playing for " the Redwood club : and another for Schrock's have , received injuries which ran into quite a sum con ' aidering the nature of the injury. One of the lads broke his leg sliding into a base while the other obtained infection in hand wound, the latter expense run ning in the neighborhood of $50. Two suggestions are offered by the league directors, one being to 'charge admission at the gate and the other to pass a bat One way er another It's worthy cause and Inasmuch - as no admission has been charged all year, fans would probably contribute willingly. SPORT COATS ' nd .. ' CLACKS s CI: 5 N Browns Meet I outfit of Portland which . boasts the pitching of Archie Hamlin, for mer all-state chucker and leading moundsman in the Portland vi cinity. . . The Brownies won the -right to meet Grimshaw's when they won an opening round game against Blue Bell Chips, 3-0. Tuesday night the Grimshaw's topped the Swan Island Fabrication bunch, 4-2. , Those respective wins . put both clubs against one another in the quarter-finals. Early predictions call for a tight pitching duel with the favorite rat ing undecided: The Grimshaw's boast a well-balanced ball club and two well known' stickers, the Helser brothers, are still plenty potent batsmen in anybody's league and the Tiremen have a 7 game win streak to protect Both Crofoot and Hamlin are windmill tossers and since they are throw ing from an elevated mound they should be quite effective. Tonight's winner vies with the winner of the Islanders-Police game (which is also to be played tonight) Saturday night at 9 o'clock. The winner of this game will then represent the upper bracket in the finals Sunday night at 9. Pinwheel Percy Crofoot will as- cume hurling duties for the Salem club with Lu Singer catching. In all probabilities the remainder of Mgr. Sterns Cushing's lineup will be Ken Manning, first; Bill Gentz kow, second; Bob McGuire, short; Bob Davis, third; Tom Dryman, left; Ken Filsinger, center; Del Campbell, right and Pete Valdez, short field. The IS man ball club will leave Square Deal Radio Shop at 8 o'clock. Record Tied Cardinals Beat Phils, 4 to 2 ST. LOUIS, Aug. -P)-Tieing a major league record of winning 73 out of 100 games, the St Louis Cardinals tonight eked out a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Frank Chance's Chicago Cubs of 1907 achieved the same record, and in 1909 the Pittsburgh Pirates won 72 and lost 28. The Cardinals now lead the National league by a 17 -game margin. By being knocked out in the eighth, Harry Brecheen lost his chance to send his string of vie tories to 11 with only two losses. Max Lanier, who replaced Bre cheen after the Phils had scored once and had two men on base with one out, permitted one run ner to score but was credited with the victory.

Liberalized regulations for shooting migratory i fame i birds were annoimcedtodayiby Interior Secretary Ickes,! after f which war production board sources estimat ed that about 6) per cent of the normal ammunition supply will be available forf civilian purposes between now and October 31. Last year the supply ! was I about 12 per cent of normal. i j Because the waterfowl popula tion is oh the rise, the season will be 80 days Instead . of 70, and hunters will be allowed a bigger daily , bag of . mallards, pintails and widgeons than last season. This was pleasant news for both sportsmen 1 and farmers, j since those fast-multiplying ' varieties not only are . major game! birds but also wreak major! destruction on crops, according to the fish and wildlife service Iwhich drew up the regulations. J A There was bad- news for ; some hunters who had campaigned for the use of live decoys.5 This prac tice will continue to be taboo, as well as the useof bait such as corn. 8 Ct ! ' The WPB sources said an order will be issued soon liberalizing the present limitation of civilian am munition and specifying how much an individual can obtain. Open season on wild ducks, geese, brant and coot win be Sep-' tember 20-December 1 8 in the northern tier of states, October 14- January 1 in the intermediate zone, and November 2-January 20 farther south, i ' i. ; . The daily bag limit of ducks re mains at ten, except j that each hunter is allowed an additional bag of five mallards;' pintails and widgeons, singly for in ; the aggre gate. If the day's bag includes five or more from these species, the general limits Is automatically increased to 15. A hunter, for ex ample, could shoot 15 1 pintails In a day. But if he bagged only two pintails and no mallards or wid geons, his general limit would be 12. 1 . ' f How They STAiuT). .

"You " cant just assume a league," Layden said, on his an nual visit to Philadelphia, "every day I hear or read of one league or another being formed here or some place else, but ' that still doesn't bring a league into being.

Layden had been asked to com ment on the possibility of compe tition for the Philadelphia Eagles here. Jack Ahrin, Philadelphia manufacturer, holds a franchise in the newly; projected United States league and plans to field a team under the name' of Philadelphia Quakers after the war. It is possible, Layden said, that another league may affiliate with the national in much the same manner as the American and Na tional baseball leagues are affil iated, after a "settling process" has been completed "The National league cant take all those leagues into considera tion until ; enough time passes for all these plans to settle and some thing concrete comes out of them,' he stated.! 4 n i Buy'.
