Waters park Sunday at. 2:30 looms as far the best outfit the Capital Posters' have I run up against all : season. Having cavorted In Portland semi pro " i 1 1-7- ranks all summer, the Milwaukie . nine, which really is an all-star , outfit with players from seven . different high schools in Multno mah county, is quite confident of earning a place in the state meet. The winner of this series gets the state tourney ticket. The game should develop into ' quite a hurling .duel between Palmer and Salem's "Cowboy" Carroll. The Salem kids are quite . confident they can hit Palmer, too, despite the lact that he shut out the high school team with but two hits last spring. The remainder of the local lineup will probably be the same as started against Forest Grove last week. The game Sunday is definitely set for 2:30 p. m. after an earlier - announcement had forecast a - change in starting time.

" It is pretty difficult to keep up with the pitching records of Portland's -Big Three," Ad Lis ka. Hoy Helser and Don Pulford, well admit. The trio is handling roost of the mound duties for the pacesetters this year and have been rolling up the wins at a merry clip. Maybe that explains the varying wire stories relating to their pitching records. 'Correct tabulation shows that Liska won his 14th game Tuesday night as he beat Hollywood 12 to3, Hel- ser won his 15th game 'Wednes day night as he topped the T winks 12 to 4, and Pulford made . Ik 18 wins for the year by drop ping the Hollies 8 to 6 Wednes day night They all have 7 losses. And just to get the records straight.

Harlan Bones, who saw action In Europe. Be fore Old Glory could be raised, however, lt waa necessary for someone to climb to the top of tbe 59 foot flagpole to replace the ropes that have been eut three .different times. The task was performed by George Singer, and It ts hoped the vandals will de allt from further use ef the knife, i We didn't intentionally pass up the "B" leaguers yesterday in our glance at the junior loop's star performers. Just not enough room. However, there are a number of ' prospective stars coming up. in the circuit that youll be reading or hearing about one of these days. Particularly outstanding to date have been ' Catcher Richard Howard, third baseman Deb Da "vis, and first sacker Don Goertx- en of Yeaters; pitcher Dick Nor -ton, who is just about the whole team for Elfstrom's; pitcher Jim Rock, ditto for Clough-Barrick, .and Heavy Haulers' keystone combination of Daryl Girod and Buddy Duval.
