Bevos Blow in 8th,
Opener to
: Once-over-Iightlies: -.Probable . .?fu?4 Ex-Western- International
-rleaguer to 'shed GI toga after counting sufficient points Bill ?Buir
Brenner, the burly backstop once with- Tacoma. Air corps Capt.
"'Brenner has flown his last B-17 . ov er Germany (he had 47 missions,
ind a handful of decorations) and passed through the village the
other day n route to join the Los Angeles Angels." And since
Bill Sweeney's club seems to be. well-fixed for backstoppers,
Brenner Intends Inviting, a deal wherein he lands on the Portland
gang as the No. 2 mask man. Good deal . . Another Ex-WIL'eri
this one the town's own Sgt. Phil Salstrom, still knows how it's
'done apparently, and despite 17. 1
months in "the. Pacific. In a' Palau ' t
Islands ' league series bur , Phillip .
bashed 10 hits in 18 tries, two
"homers, five doubles and three
singles,: tallied nine and batted
in 17 other tallies . . . Much more
of that and the Joe Devine of
the Pacific will, be snooping.
Irony . dept: "Blazin Ben" Clag-
spoke a-million words in defense
of his punchless Yeater Appliance
UB" ball league last placers
year ago, and" anyone who knows
Ben also knows what we mean.
The other day . the new - Yeater's
blasted defending - champ Heavy
Haulers 22-1. ' And where was
' "laggett? The poor guy is in the
ease. It would have made him well
. .11. . a : . . .j r
sportrster after all, predicts Bob "Pop" Schwartz, coach of Bill
Phillips 'Valley Motors nine .which played Pete DeGuire's Wood
burns Sunday. Schwartz pegs Austin as "a big moose who can hit
'm a mile when he hits 'em lotsa power." . . . Austin football,
basketball and track capabilities are already known . . . To beak
bashing: "Si ttin up dose where we can get th blood on us" was
no idle babble during "Stony" Clark's Golden Gloveree last week,
come to think of it, for we know of two gents who had to tell
the launderer to "be sure and get the blood spots off" after occupying
pews up close . . . The kids had themselves a bloody good time
not to mention the customers who watched ...
Towel-Tossing 'Out9
. - Speaking of that swelegant fight
card, we've been asked by a few
why Referee Packy McFarland
wouldn't allow the handlers and
seconds to toss in the towel when
their hopefuls were apparently
getting bopped around quite de
cisively during some of the scraps. "
Briefly,, the mighty-mite referee
says towel-tossing from the cor
ners is outmoded in the bopping
business. Was declared - 'out" last
year in the rules.
As Packy puts it: "There'll be
no towel-tossing in my ring.! If
a referee isn't capable enough! to
veil wnen . a ..ngnier is wmppea
' enough to call. a halt and a techrd
; yal knockout, then the referee
i tloesn't belong in the ring. Towel-
tossing,' especially in these ama
; teur fights, is very often unwar
; ranted. The kids aren't hurt near-
ly as badly . as it looks. And by
tossing in the towel, a handler
f second may be taking a pos
!ible, knockout away from a de
serving fighter's record ' ' " "
' "They kick the towels but just
t as" fast-as , they come in the ring
t ifi . Portland. Throwing 'em in is
against the rules now. That's why
I tried not to. allow them in my
, ring during the Salem tourna
ment." t
Bevens Stock Hiked .
Straight-from-the-feed-box dope
n how Salem's Floyd "Bill" Bev
' ens is doing with the Yankees is
. effered via this piece in the Sport
ing News',- pounded - out by Dan
Daniel, New York baseball writ
' r: "In the series with the western
: 4-lubs, ; the standout development
i was- the pitching of Floyd Bevens.
His victory over the Indians, June
1, was his third in a row on the
: home stand, and his fourth of the
i jceasoni ; : ,
"""When ' .the season opened, Joe
? McCarthy hardly figured Bevens
to develop into the factor he now
has become. The young man from
; the state of (Ed.'s note It's Ore
4 gon, Mr. Daniel, not Washington
:" as you write) throws hard, with a
: fair-to-middling curve ball, . and
when his" control is right, he's very
i tough."
Aye, Aye. You should've seen
him when he fogged 'em in the
, cl' WIL, sir." And please, sir", in
I your next effort make it Oregon,
not Washington. You must've come
from California. .:.

' Albany Ruin in Last
Frame Nets Arc Win
ALBANY, June lMSpecial)
Albany's Ctimmings Movers Jun
ior - Legion ball' team tallied a
highly debatable run in the final
frame of., their : practice tilt
with Salem here tonight and
walked off with a 2-1 decision.
The; run was counted when the
plate umpire ruled Salem Catcher
Dick. Allison pulled his foot' off
the tally dish too soon in receiv
ings a force-play throw from
Pitcher - Joe "Cowboy CarrolL
The; sacks were loaded on the
play.' ; ' -H;'
Carroll and Lebanon's fore
balling Don Ellis hooked up in a
hot mound duel, feature of the
game, but it was Carroll's wild
ness which cost him the decision.
He s walked seven, hit one, wild
pitched three times and com
mitted a costly error during the
fray. On the debit side, the Salem
flinger fanned seven, gave up
only three hits, two of the
scratchy infield variety, and
huiled himself out of two bad
jams.
Smokeballer Ellis whiffed nine,
walked two and allowed two
hits, an infield tap by Al Rus
sell and a bloop to left by Dick
Hendrie. .
Albany counted first in the
third, an unearned tally, when
Carroll walked Vance, i watched
him move up on a sacrifice and
then score when an attempt . to
pick him off second went Into
center field for two errors. Salem
tied it in the sixth when Mc
Kinney was safe on an error,
stole second, moved to third on
Russell's hit and came in while
Roger Dasch was grounding out.
Salem had scoring opportunities
In five heats but couldn't collect
Carroll walked .the first three
Albany" hitters in the final frame
and then came the dispute- and
the; game's end on Ellis grounder.
