The mgr. continues to pray that Portland will turn loose Hal Sum mers to him this week. The rea son for all the minor ailments is due to the sudden chance in wea ther conditions, . from too chilly w too not. This big San Bernardino lad Gregory took care of the Wenat- chees Sunday with as mighty i home run as you'll ever see. com inr with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. The likeable left- handed flugger lofted the ball di rectly over the center field score board on a line, and that fixture resides over 380 feet from home plate in the Medford pasture. The same drive would have cleared the t Bishop ad iir Waters park, we're convinced. Wenatchee Man ager Buddy Ryan, Vowing that the drive was as well kissed as any; he had ever seen In his 40 odd, years of baseball, insisted it traveled 450 feet at least. At any rate it pulled the town let into the - win column for' the first time and they came homo a much more contented ball club because : of it Portland Rookie Dick Sinovic had only , mediocre success in his six pitching stanzas the weather was terribly warm and Manager Wilson himself finished .up. Jack looked as if he's I ready to charge the mound aa a regular himself. Two other homers -were, hit Sunday, one ' an lnside-the-park shot . to left by Dick Gehtzkow who, because of his powerful hit ting may yet break into the local lineup. Defensively shy Dick can't seem to find a place to play. The other four-master was rapped by Chief George Bandy who looked to be quite a hitter in kissing the homer, a triple and two doubles. The Salems busted loose for. four runs in the sixth on four hits. snapping out of a woeful batting slump. , , - Riddled of most of their 1946 stalwarts, the Chiefs nonetheless proved Sunday they have hitters and speed this, year again.
