Paul Seder burt. although in trouble touch of the way. went the route to notch his fourth, win 1 the season. The win evened the count. 2-2. In this crucial series, for the Salems, tryinf their danrdest to go home next Tues day leading the league again. The Senators unloaded a 15-hit batting attack against three Spoke seneia and actually salted down the struggle In the first frame with five runs, all slam-banged across on four hits after Spokane starter Fete Barisoff walked Du . ane Crawford and Wally Flager to start the game. Vern Reynolds moved them up and then in ma chlnegun style George Vico crash ed a single to center. Dick Wen ner rifled another to the same pot. Skipper Ted Cullic dropped a double into left center. Ted Kerr walked and Hal Summers lined a dotible far to the left center board. Were it not for a beautiful throw! to the plate by center field er Bob Paterson after fielding Vi ce's bit the Salems would have made it even more. The throw cut down Flager for the second out. Spokane scored in the second on one of Soderburg's three walks for the night, an infield hit and a fielders choice. Salem got that one back in the fifth when Cullic singled and Summers whacked an other double, this one to right. The Spokes, who banged 12 hits eff Soderburg. but most of them when they did little damage, counted once again in the sixth en three bits and in the eighth on three more. In all. the Indians left 12 men stranded on the sacks. But Salem outdid them even here fey leaving IS perched around the lanes. A walk to Flager and hits by Reynolds and Vico picked up a Salem run In the sixth, and in the eighth it was a walk t Rey nold. Vice's sacrifice. GullicV terrific liner to left, his stolen base and Kerr's double to right that gave the Solons two more.. It was a pretty miserable night for the lower half of' the Spoke ' pitching department as they yield ed nine bases on balls with the IS most solidly-kissed hit. Both Skipper Cullic and Summers had the big night with the willoyg. each. rapping three bingles. Jack lohrke's three blows led the Spokes. Fielding gems by Wally Flager and Mgr. Cullic, plus a pair of Vieo's -splits- at first base, pull ed Soderburg out of at least three eep holes. Flager haji the spork ', ler of the night when with mrn rm second and third in the fourth frame and but one out he slapped down Lohrke's hard smash be tween the third-short hole, wheeled and threw out Spoke runner Levi McCormitk at the plate. Had that one gone through et' that time It would have put the Indians right back in the ball game despite Salem s big opening " inning. 'Salem bad at least one man on base every inning and left at least eoe stranded every heat. Spokane ead little worse, but al way So rter burg settled down to pitch hi "way out when his mates didn't haul him free with a nice play Soderburg passed three and whiffed six and at times looked as if he's a cinch to hang up more wins for the Senators. i Tonight's game was played In a nigh wind but it did little dam age to fielders. Only one error, and that a mental case when the Fpoke -middle" forgot to cover second on Crawford's stolen base in the second.
