Soderburg Drops Tight Hill Duel
To Green; Bremerton Now Second
By Al Lightner
Statesman Sports Editor
It's getting right serious, mates.
Apparently set on slapping the townies silly this week, the
once second best Wenatchees last night did a fair enough job of
it for one game by belting the Salems into third place in the
Western International league standings. This time it was! 2 to 1
in the regulation nine innings, the third straight Wenatchee win.
Bremerton'g Tars, after splitting a pair with Vancouver last night,
nosed into second place by a single percentage point. And so
this morning the Solons. totally ignored by Dame Fortune the past
couple of weeks (and that's for sure), find themselves facing four
more garnet with the red hot Buddy Ryan clan and the fact that
they must win every one of 'em to get back to at least near the
top rung they perched on so long.
Not once during the campaign have the Senators found them
selves so distant from the win hole as they are today, So tonight
it will be Lefty Kenny Wyatt for the Gullic gang in an attempt
to peg this surprising Wenatchee landslide. The Chiefs will likely
counter with either Joe Vivalda or Gene Babbitt, both I of them
high among the better 'lingers in the circuit. j
The Gullies found wee but mighty Eddie Green not at all to
their liking last night and succumbed meekly with four lonesome
hits. The former Sacramento righthander, hurling deliberately but
with both swift and bend on the ball when he did cut loose, ac
companied his four-hitter with 11 strikeouts. He had great stuff and,
not unlike the other Wenatchee pitchers who have throttled the
Salems so efficiently this week, had to pick last night to! have it.
on the home side. Big Faul
Soderburg served well enough to
win most games but suffered from
the RBI-tis afflicted on his mates.
Paul yielded eight hits and fan
ned only five, but in all but two
instances he had what it took
to pull out of rough spots. Sharp
infield work from time to time
by Shortstop Wally Flager and
Third-baser Vern Reynolds aided
Paul no end. But it was in the
end the ninth inning -that Wen

stock wen back up, however, when
Ernie Bertoletti's attempted sacri
fice turned out to be a forceout
of Green at third, Soderburg to
Reynolds. But Paul passed Jim
Warner to undergo more pressure.
Mel Wasley forced Warner at sec
ond on a grounder to Skipper Ted
Gullic, Bertoletti romping to
third. Wasley escaped being dou
bled by only a split hair on Flag

Soderburg got two strikes on
Dick Adams, but then hung a
slow curve inside and the Chief
first baseman smashed it through
Reynolds for a hit and, worse yet,
the run that won the ball game.
Using a big curve mostly, Sod

this same " Adams, one of the
league's leading swatsmen, 'who
opened with a sharp single to left.

Skipper Gullic opened it with a

defense played Ted far into left.
It was actually a double, but Gul
lic hustled the blow into a triple
with a burst of fleet-footedness
from second to third. Salmon went
out, but Dick Wenner pasted one
of Green's hard ones to center
for a single to score Gullic with
the deadlocker.
From ther on it was too much
Green for our side, and just as
much Soderburg for the visitors
until the ninth.
Three umps on hand for this
one, but they were still strictly
phoo as far as the 1567 crowd was
concerned ... New Second-sacker
Al Spaeter has arrived on option

now . . . Reynolds pulled the play
of-the night in the fifth when he
brained the ancient hidden ball
stunt on Warner at third and
knocked Wenatchee out of a pos
sible run. Beet-faced Buddy Ryan,
coaching at third, had something
to be red about on this one and
found the trip from the coaching
box to the bench a long walk in
deed ....
