Feb. 7-(Spcial)-Wally Palmberg's Astoria Fishermen fained some measure of revenge for two previous lickings this year, as they tonight edged the Salem high Vikings, 30-27, in a close, de fensive contest on the Astoria floor. The defeat broke the Salem winning streak of four straight and narrowed Vik Coach Harold Hauk's victory edge on Palmberg to 14-9. The two teams meet again tomorrow night.

The Salem, paced by Forward Dick Mase, pulled up to within three paints, 20-17. at the third period buzzer but couldn't over .1 V . ; the advantage m the home- t was mainly the oul come stretch line work of Ihander which se cured the ball game for the Palm berg's in the final minutes, the Astorian, knotting with Maye for coring honor with nine, hit ev ery one of his points ia the gift ttma route.

The percentage isn't too high even though there've never been in set of figures issued on tho matter. Take aa an Instance the situation at Carl Mays' baseball school around 1936 when Carl's school was a thriving concern, located at Jantsen Beach In Portland. Now no man was better grounded in tho diamond game than Mays, the former submariner of tho Boston Real Hox. Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees. Carl was quite aa apt teacher, too. and In the par 4Jcjlar year we mention there were middling good prospects on hand. Some of the lads seemed su re bels to end up romping big league sod. And yet something was imli ... A good portion of these neophytes had the physical attributes, that was apparent. However, a cog was missing somewhere. Perhaps It was lack of guts, or perhaps an Inade quate competitive spirit. In 3. getting tangled up among the older fel lows, was a tyke who wss possessed with an a mat ing; sptitude and love for baseball despite his age for he couldn't have been more than II at the staa afnsUl time. He'd butt In and Uke his batting licks while tbe oldsters growled about nuisance, and then this half-pint would be all over the field chasing ground balls and flies. That kid was Bill Taitt. slated for a trial with the Boston Red Sox this year and the only one In that whole '36 bunch, to our knowledge, to get an honest-to-goodness crack at a major Job. with the exception of Wimpy Quinn. But wait, we mustn't overlook a guy namey Ray Orteig. Ortelg turned In a sparkling Job with the Vancouver Caps last summer snd Is set for duty with the 'Frisco Sesls come the new season. If he misses a major loop Job It's gonna be Just another reason why some pusiled guv wrote "Ah. Sweet Mystery of Life." When Rar came off a Washington farm he didn't say five words, but oh. w hat a bal player! Mays made him the hitter he Is today, un doubtedly, giving him the ability to belt a ball to any field. One of the sensations of the school that year came when Mr. Orteig clicked off 13 hits in a row. Puitle to us has always been why Ray didn't strike a baseball bonansa long before this .... And of those who fell by the wayside when they seemed so cer tain to succeed. Well, foremost In mind are a couple of Burlington. Wisconsin aspirants. Vic Terry was one of 'em. What a center field er! (In '36 anvwav). Many were the times that coast leaguers came out to the park and gaped In awe at the magnificence of Terry's arm. From deep center the Wisconsin kid could throw on a line right over tho backstop. (And that ain't kiddin'. bub). Then there was Bill Rid dcough, the power man. He once slammed a ball clear over the left field wall. 500 feet away. (We oughta know for we happened to be In the left field on that occasion). Even now we scratch our heads and wonder how those Wisconsin buddies missed the Big Time. Just one of the mysteries of life .... Incidentally, what a manager Carl Mays could have been. His experience, his deep knowledge of the game could have surely In sured success. And It might have come about if Carl had been a bit more diplomatic, a little less long- on temperusent and If he hadn't fatally "bcaned" an opposing player once. Tragic incident, the "bean lng of Roy Chapman. Though purely aa accident. It choked off Mays' great career .... A flick of the cards and a baseballer comes up with stingies Sam Breadon or Branch Rickey as his boss, while another, especially fa- , vered by fate, ends up w ith Tom Shaw key, Walter Briggs or Bill Voeck making out his paychecks. And what a variance In the checks! Stan Muial. the Cards great hitter, holds out for comparatively , meagre $30,900. while Ted Williams and Bob Feller pull down ever twice that figure with no squabble at all. Who would deny that Mr. Mitlal haa good reason to be at least slightly burned up over his deatf ... Blazers Drop Win to Yaks MT ANGEL, Feb. 7-(Special)-The Yakima Ramblers led all the way here tonight to take a 57-47 Pacific Coast professional league basketball win over the Trail blazers, former Salem team.

Salem Senator Business Manager George Emigh forecasts another banner year for the townies. Of course the biz boss and new man ager Jack Wilson must wait and see what the parent Portlands give them in the way of talent later on and right now the Portlands appear to be loft in the shuffle when it comes to signing players but Emigh is anything but pessimistic. Not even the fact that he has but two signed contracts In the files for 1948 holdovers ruffles the front office maestro. Those two pacts list Infielders Henry Bartolomei and Al Spaeter as fully registered for the coming semester. The others? Well, Sa lem actually "owns" only six more of the 1946"ers Pitchers Paul ! Soderburg, Jim Hess and Lee Fallin, Catcher Ted Kerr, Infield er Lou Kubiak and Outfielder Frank Lucchesi. The others, in cluding such remembered stal warts as Dick Wenner, Kenny Wyatt, Carl Gunnarson, Duane ; Crawford, Wally Flager, Eddie -ouis iook six rounas, uoaoy iwo Kowakki, Hal Summers, etc., are;and two resulted in a draw. members of the Portland crew and, if satisfied with Bevo terms will check in at Riverside lat? this month. The trip to the vil lage farm club comes later for most of those athletes, as well as for others the Beavers will pass on first. Emigh isn't . immune from "holdouts'-' at that. Kerry wants more money than he got last year, Kubiak wants a raise, Sodeiburg makes it a threesome, Hess and Lucchesi haven't been heard from and Fallin will likely drop from the pro baseball ranks. Offsetting 1 i these cases, however, are 11 like ly lights who have signed as rookies and who will be at Med ford when Manager Wilson calls the roll March 27. The eleven: Lawrence Bouchey, catcher fresh from U of Southern Cal.; Joe Frenn, first baseman from North Hollywood, Cal., Dick Gentzkow, infielder from Salem who is at jEE st to take his fling at pro- al ball: Gerald Nelson. Phr trom. winl?k. Wlsh ;, Dan O'Toole, pitcher from Portland; Carl Peterson, infielder from Portland; Dick Sinovich, highly rated pitching prospect from Portland; Dave Young, another Portland pitcher; Don Cook, promising catching prospect from Joratln sunshine, Emigh today isn't a member of that fraternity which sees other than success drooling all over the Waters yard next summer.
