Cloicn Wesley J. Count Gets Right Mad :
Speaking of ex-WIL ballgamers, seeing where former Seattle and
Wenatchee catcher Ed Kearse was wounded in action in France re
minds of the only time we've ever seen or heard of one Wesley J.
Schulmerich get fighting mad in a ball game. Wesley J the former
1 Oregon. Stater, 'coast and major leaguer who can and does out-clown
even Al Schacht with the baseball funny stuff, was a batsman one
night in Wenatchee when Kearse was catching. All was a laugh to
Wesley J., that is, everything but that particular time at bat for the
guy who ranked along with Smead Jolley as the league's most feared
awatsmith. . . '-j : " '' . ' K ' "' ;
Kearse was a big rawboned lad who reeked power In everything
be did. A typical New York Yankee farmhand, and a fresh one with
a razor-sharp tongue- He could toss the most insulting remarks at
enemy" batsmen we've heard. ' And all the while he'd flip handsful Of
batters'-box dirt atop their shoes. Nastily uncomfortable. , .1
The backstop was in rare form that particular night and Wesley
J. wasn't quite himself, comically. Kearse dug deeply both with his
tongue and hands as bowlegged Wes came up to hiL ; - 1
Wesley J. glanced off the first attack. Kearse kept it up first
with the "ya-ya-ya, this bowlegged old goat couldn't hit you if you
ran across the plate, etc,", and then with the dirt flipping. Schulmerich
finally had enough, raised one hand for time out and tossed his pet
hickory weapon off to one side. He then lunged at Kearse, nailing the
big 200-po under with both hands clutching chest-protector and shirt
front . Up went Edward with nothing touching ground but tip-toes,
and while gangling there totally flabbergasted heard solemn Schul
merich words: "Listen, punk one more peep out o you the rest of
the night and I'll bust you in two see?" And with, the "see" Wesley
J. came near shaking the spikes right off the wilted catcher. - ' j
"YesV, bleated Kearse. And there wasn't a sound directed from
him at even the most timid rookie the resLof the week's series! Wes
ley J. later admitted he came near uncoupling Kearse, he was .that hot
"; and bothered. . ' l ' ' : : ;;
No doubt both Kearse and Wesley J. remember it well. I

Klamath Falls all the way last
night before dropping a narrow
33 to 29 decision their second
loss in as many nights to the barn

( Hawking the ball almost on a
par with the floor-burning Pells,
the Brownmen fought fiercely all
the way, trailing only by two
points at halftime. A determined
effort td knot the score in the
final moments fell short when
lanky, I bespectacled Jim Palmer,
high point man for the fray with
16 points, lofted in a "clutch" shot
from 'behind the key and. a mo
ment later tossed In a free throw
for good measure. .The Salemites
trailed by Just three points when
Palmer gave off with his clutch
performance. - ,."
Salem led three times during
the first half, three long orie
handers by Bunny Mason pacing
the Brownmen. Palmer matched
Mason basket for basket how
ever, and Captain Bob Perkins, a
demon on; the floor, added: an
other pair of goals by snatching
Salem passes for easy lay-ins. 'A
long looper by Perkins two sec

gave the. visitors a 21-19 margin
at the intermission." I
