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

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.

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.

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,

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.

Hunters Given
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 -(ff)
Hunters will have a longer open
season on ducks this fall and more
ammunition to shoot ; them with.
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

., Hardly had McAdams' statement
hit the wires when Jerry Giesler,
famed criminal attorney of Los
Angeles and president of . the
American league, let out this blast:
MI am not cognizant of any con
tract Irregularity concerning Mc
Adams. We are going to do what's
right, but at the same time we are
not going to be intimidated. Ours
Is a policy of fair play and co
operation with; all other leagues
in the best interes of sports. This
is no time in my opinion, for inter-sports
fights. But we are not
going to be moved by threats or
intimidations such as are indicat
ed by Mr. Marshall, whose' atti
tude does seem; a little unfriendly
coming from one who' is accepting
California's hospitality." -.
. Marshall is hero with his team
that is doing its summer training
in San Diego, informed of dea
ler's statement, Marshall coun
tered with: "Either the man has
been misquoted or is misinformed.'

Laydeh Voices
His Attitude
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9-0P)
Elmer Layden, national . football
league commissioner, revealed to
day, his. attitude toward competi
tion from other professional leag
ueshell believe . it ' when ho
sees it. . .! : '"' .-m.
"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.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to
discuss intelligently a thing that
doesnt exist.' If another eastern
league is organized and operates a
season orj two, then will be the
time, to give it consideration."
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.!
