Th OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning. April 28. 1946
Semiatoirs RJn Agaimi;
Dim 3L04hlFoir 6-4
-' Sunday sorties: Nick Goulish, Danny Epcobar, Frank Shone, Ted
t Gullie, Mayo Smith, Herman Reich, Harvey Storey, and Danny Amaral
constitute EIGHT Portland Beaver outfielder. Salem Senator Skipper
Frisco Edwards "would like one more hittirjg outfielder." Listening,
- Mr. Klepper? .... Loren Mort,
'good job coaching Leslie junior
-? high' football team before the
; war, is now back after army serv
' , ice as m lieutenant, and adds he
might return to Leslie" to pick
up from where he left off. Mort,
'J gone since 1941, was in India for
: a spell as part of his GI service.
. . Any dubiousness still held
concerning Salem high's ambition
to hit the prep sports top in the
- state should be amply subsided
t with the school board's recent an
: xxouncement of assistant coaches
who have joined the Villa family.
' Len Warren, able assistant to Al
Simpson at Medford last fall.
- comes to town to help the boss again, this tim$ with Vik football. And
-'-Ellroy Jensen, like Simpson another U of Oregon man, joins the staff
' as "XT football coach. Jensen has been coaching at Creswell, a wee
berg south of Eugene. So if it's coaching dpth the Viks will need,
.they're in. And we might add, sarcastically jf course, that it's about
time the coaching men at Salem high got a little help. The Vik mega
" phone jobs of the past haven't been enviable they've been more
like manktllers. . . . . Hillsboro Hurdler Jack Doyle, state champion
' due to repeat, and a ripe prospect for intercollegiate barrier skim-
ming. according to bis coach, Al Bogue, doesn't even hesitate to say,
-- "Tin going to the University of Oregon," when asked where he will
, do his college stretch. Which could be one ht the reasons why Col.
Bui Hayward just doesn't get old despite his; 70-odd years Ed
Ryan, new Klamath Pelican grid coach whof also bosses the current
.pitching of ex -Salem Joe (Cowboy) Carroll for the Pells, drops us a
' note (with picture) informing that Cowboy Joe is still the prep pitch-
- ing sharpie he was a year ago for the Viks. "Joe is all you said he'd
s be for us," says Ryan. "It's a shame that the rest of the fellows are so
; inexperienced in baseball down here we haven't had baseball in 10
' years, you know." . . . . ..
Ocer 6000 Goal for Tuesday Opter
The town Senators, brand new from "S to "S", open the home
' season Tuesday night. Biz Boss George EmigH anticipates, along with
1,1111 farcer ana nis Doosters, a
welcoming gathering of ; "over
6000." Should Tuesday night be
- mild and cozy they're sure to get
the 6000. Biz Boss George has set
another goal, too. This one a
season's attendance goal of 100,000.
'Which is. considerable when you
realize the 1940 Solons, during the
" best drawing year in the club's
three-year history, played before
less than twQ-thirds of that figure.
Around 23,000 paid their way in
during the dismal 1942 campaign.
Seventy home games into
Emigh's averages 1428 and a small
boy per game. But Mr. E. calcu
lates the club will do it. Given
good weather, a winning ball club
and a follow-through by the Boos-
- ter organization, we have bo doubt
the 100,000 goal will be reached.
But all three items are musts.
Free Night Tops
What is the Waters park at
tendance record? "The files say
the 1941 "Merchants Night" all
free game with .Wenatchee, when
Howard Maple was biz boss, holds
the top rung with 524?. Second
best is the 4865 of the park's first
opening night. May 1, 1940. Those
two bumper crops are tops and
' prove, that the over-6000 capacity
arena has never been filled. What

however, a new record will cer
tainly be set Tuesday night,
weather cooperating. Mr. E. may
have to get out the ropes to hold
'n back. Quite inviting too is
the fact that there will be plenty
of seats for the first 6000. five
, thousand of these go on sale at
: the park at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
I The all-time high in yearly at-
tendance for the league is held by
Spokane's great 1939 season. The

two-thirds of the circuit, for
even pennant-winning Wenatchee,
slumbering little Columbia river
town that it was, pulled 84,000.
Vancouver was third with 81,000
and Tacoma fourth with 74.000.
Yakima didn't even draw the flies
that refused to habit the scads of
empty perches in the Bellingham
t park. Salem's 1840 attendance, as
' near as we can find out, was near
1 the 60,000 mark.

Then the roof fell In on him for
three tallies on as many hits, and
from there on it was more a ques
tion of who could throw in more
substitutes in a wild climax as
Skippers Frisco Edwards and
Spencer Harris made with the
brain work.
Sod er berg's lone run earfy in
the game came when Harland
Clift boomed a line drive homer
over the 331 foot left wall in the
first- The Solons got even in the
second when Dick Wenner was
hit by a pitch. Bob Cav'iness
singled to left and Catcher Mc
Connell erred on a pick off try
to first.
The Solons got two more in the
third on power hitting par-excellent.
Luke Lucchesi opened
with a single, was sacrificed up
and then scored when Bill Carney
clouted a long triple to left cen
ter. Big George Vico followed with
a tremendous double to the same
place and Wenner scored Vico
with a shot to right.
Yakima power in the persons
of Clift, firstsacker Bill Garbe
and Centerf ielder Gene Thompson
exploded for the three runs in
the eighth.
Then with things looking tough
for the Salems they came through
in the ninth on a pinch hit. double
by Duane Crawford. Wenner
walked to open the -frame, Cavi
ness moved him up and Craw
ford hit for Sam Tosti. He shot
a liner to left center for the tie.
Thin man Steve Gerkin toiled
the final two7 frames for Salem
and got the win, although he
staggered in both heats. It - took
a beautiful throw from Ca vines
in right after a fly to throw out
Clift at the di.sh and cut off the
Yak winning run. The bases were
loaded at the time.
The Senators iced it in the
tenth without the aid of a hit. A
wild lefthander, Yayalian by
name and Yakima's fourth pit
cher, opened the frame by walk
ing Bartolomei. Carney's bunt
was fouled up by the Yak infield
on an error. Then Yayalian
promptly hit Vico to load the
sacks. Wenner bounced to third
for a forceout at the plate on
Bartolomei, but t aviness was nit ,
by a pitch and Carney trotted j
across with a run. Then Ray Mai- ,
gradi, in tne game at inira, came
up to work xayanan ror a waiK
for another forced in run.

Willamette university's base

Saturday afternoon at Water's

good for nine runs off Bob Sig
ner, ace of the Lewis and Clark
mound staff, for a 9 to 2 victory
over Matty Mathews' Portland
collegians.
Leading hitters for Willamette
were Winthers, Hampton and
Douglas, each with two hits in
four times up. Signer struck out
11 batters and Clayton Patterson
whiffed nine in winning his third
contest of the season.
Whether Saturday's game will
go into the records as a North

taken of member schools relative
to the application of Lewis and
