SWEET HOME HIRES LANGLEY AS COACH i SWEET HOME, Aug. 27.-)- New coach at Sweet Home anion hlrh school this fall will be Gene Laofley, formerly of Grand Cou lee, Wash prtnelpal G. A. Sprague said today. : Sportie sorties: Tip for Clough-Barrick C-Bs, who Journey to Portland ; to play Bill Klepper's "Park Rats" today: The "Rats" have won five and lost none this season and are looking forward to the game with as much enthusiasm as . you. Beaver groundskeeper Rocky" Benevento says the Portland kids will be tough to beat. One of his own wee bambinos plays on the team . . . Rocky warned the lads, "If you get beat you'll hafta go down to Salem and play em a return game." To which the kids retaliated, "Heck then, le's lose!" . . . And if you're one who raises and lowers the stars and stripes each day you might take a lesson j from Mr. saviour, of our village Senators. He in turn had a lesson by mail from an army brass hat who Drobablr attended one of the Beaver games at Port land. Seems Mr. K. was asked to teach his park attendants the prop er way of masting Ol Glory. They lofted the huge slag slowly and in perfect time with the rendering of the National Anthem! over the PA system. Which is wrong. The brass hat informed that the flag should at all times be raised quick- j ly and lowered slowly, which is regulation . . . Speaking of ball parks and attendants, back at home here in the village is Frank Simons, remembered as the char ter custodian of the Waters field premises. Frank helped construct the 23th and Turner plant, kept it in fine shape and finally quit for a more lucrative war job in San Diego in 1942. A slight heart attack kayoed him for a spell, but he's okeh now, back home and wouldn't mind at all taking his old Job again . . . Unlikely that Frank wil!l get it, however, for new generalissimo Klepper tells us .that he's hired one Frank Lacy, 2495 Broadway, Salem, for the job on Assistant Police Chief Carl Charlton's recommendation. Lacy takes over September 1. i Goodman Not Member of Wathington Huskies Contrary to beliefs, Marv Goodman, the wing member of Willam ette's football "Big Three" of himself, Floyd Simmons and Don Rochon fs not now attending the U of Washington with Rochon. Goodman, it seems, was deficient in one naval trainee study and was branched off to Bremerton. Which leaves only Rochon to carry on for Test' Welch's Huskies. Perhaps just as ing, for the wounded knee he picked up last season was still giving him troubles m his last days at Wu, As for Simmons, latest reports on the booming fullback tell he's ticketed for St Mary's Preflight, all right, and may be at the Moraga school now. But he was sent to Alameda naval station upon leaving Willamette, Since the Alameda station also fields a football team, there's a possibility Simmons Depends upon which outfit possesses the most "pull." Fullbacking prospects such as Simmons don't the navy. j Highest paid baseball manager? In all probability "LIppy Leo" Durocher of the Dodgers. Durocher is believed to receive $25,000 per in straight salary, -with a $5000 bonus lor each 100,000 attendance over the 600,000 mark at Ebbett's Field. As the Dodgers' attendance now tops 900,000, Leo already has qualified - for three extra bonus checks and seems assured of at least one more. Two more would make his season's pay $50,000, putting him in the class' with the late John McGraw, said to be the highest paid of -all time, A Fib to Call Village 'Poor Ball Town9 nave you been noticing lately now much harder it is to calj the village a poor baseball town? No question but what the premises m ....... ... earned the 4-F status when the in we iaxe uwus. waters park virtues do not include the attraction ef space-filling clients, and only park's pews pleasantly filled. -' in xree. ; ' - There have been no instances and, therefore we might be asked on what we base our conviction. Merely this:" The combined efforts of the local Legion post and business men .who sponsor the 17 junior ball teams, not to mention the six more produced by the city playground men, cannot have helped but make the village and surrounding areas baseball conscious. . Practically every day you read of the post-season banquets and accolades neaped on tne juniors sponsors. A number of the sponsors have included on the honoring list fur-lined jaunts to Portland to watch the Beavers play, trips the kids will never forget. Also, the Legion lined up two special bus loads of city champions for a similar excursion Saturday night, and approximately 50 aids made tnat : These same kids,' most of whom are already looking" forward to 1946 baseballing, talk, of little else around home and respective neighborhoods. It's the greatest advertising in the world for baseball -:' in Salem. ; ' 1 Consequently, it's rather easy to predict the town is well on its way to becoming anything but a poor baseball villa. The baseball marriage between the local Legislator and Portland's Beaver isn't exactly detrimental either. s FIRE BY STATION PUT OUT City firemen were called at 5:13 p.m. Monday to extinguish a. fire in a gas meter at Sam's Used Car lot cross from the downtown fire station. 1 o Florence Night I n g a 1 e was saIU4 the fancel of the Crimea." 1 I Down, and Out Freddie (Eed) Cochrane of Eliza beth, N.
