llard-th rowing Lazor, from
Renter. Wash., and a 15-game
winner in the Cal-State loop last
semester breezed4hrough the
Caps for fiveTieats" in his debut,
but was pulled by Wilson in the
seventh when the enemy got to
Kim la three hits and two runs.
Vancouver had picked up two
tallies in the sixth on a pair of
hits, two walks and art error
which, if not made might have
pulled the blond righthander
through the frame unscathed.
With two -gone and the tying
run at first In the seventh, Wilson
called in O'Boyle, with Yakima
last seafon, and he responded
beautifully after walking the first
bitter to face him. " He got the
next one on pop-up to retire
the side, and in the eighth went
through the Caps easily after an
other error had allowed a runner
to reach first. Salem's fourth er
ror, this an excusable miscue by
O'Boyle himself after fielding
Frank Mullens' bunt with one
out he tossed it far into the
outfield to allow Mullens to reach
third had him in trouble, but
be took care of big Lou Estes on
weak tap to Mel Nunes and
Lavis York on a lazy third-out
fly to Lou Kublak to rescue the
rasle and tend 1289 shivering
clients home happy. And much of
Mgr. Wilson's pitching worries
will be nil if -the. Irishman can
such as his chore of last night.
Lazor and Lefty Jim Hedgecock
duelled pertly through the first
three chapters, the only run go
ing to thitownies in the third
on two walks, an error and an
; infield cut. Another costly error
helped two more Senator funs
across in the fourth that and
singles byBill Beard. Hank Bar
tolomei and Al Spaeter, those by
Iirard and Bart driving home the
unearned tallies.
No sooner had Vancouver

" than the Solons, in their half.
shoved aiTO? two more for a 5-2
kaoV Hedgecock himself figured
i rominently in this scoring " by
Walking Beard as first up, allow
ing Lazor life on y fielder's choice
tnd then a run on Bartolomets
tingle to left Spaeter sacrificed
and when Hedgecock fielded the
ball he tossed it wide at third
and in came Lazor from second
Before he was through Hedgecock
loaded the sacks with a walk to
Halter to. escape further damage.
In all Hedgecock was an unfor
tunate lefty for only one Salem
run was earned for the night
Lazor burled hltless ball for
three frames before giving up a
scratch single to York in the
fourth -md"a liner to right by
Bob Stumpf in the fifth. The big
righthander tired in the seventh
after two were out, and when Len
Tran singled, Mullens doubled
and Ettas singles. Wilson waved
for O'Boyle. Richard then , pro-?
reeded to shut the door.
. Salem collected eight bingles
off Hedgecock, all singles and two
apiece by Bartolomei and Spae
ler. The Caps biffed seven.
Dick Gentxkow made his pro
debut at first base but went hit
lers in four trips? He did drive
in the first Salem run with
ground-out, however, and belted
a long liner to left in the fifth
w-hich Mead hauled down after a
lengthy trip. . Alro,r Dick- swiped

The Spokane-Taeoma Inaugural and Its 10.000 patrons Friday
night may have dwarfed the Waters gathering of 4335, bnt when yon
have tbe governor of the state, the mayor and a baseball big tbe,
likes of Coast league boss Clarence Rowland on hand for your opener,
spiced with the facthat year club won Its starter,' yea can ask for
little more. It was an suspicious
beginning for Jack Wilson's troupe
and, as the big Irishman i pat It to
the lads Immediately following:
"By gad. we're not gonna lose all
of 'em this year, that's for surer
. . . , Speaking of tbe governor,
either he's an ambidextrous gent
or his past, press notices have been
phoney. Ilizzoner. one of the best
opening day ball tossers In the
business and once upon a time a
pitcher In his own rightist home
town Arlington, Ore., always has
been Indexed as a southpaw. Bat
Friday night , he ap and wbif fed
Mayor Elfstrom with a right-handed
serve. And it wasn't a blooper
p.'ich either. The gov may have
bad a mite of trouble combine his'
hair Sat morn, bat he did , put
some snap on his part of the In- CHARLEY PETERSEN
aagnral ceremonies .... Was the 4335 of Friday a record for enen
tnc nlshts? Until somebody bobs up with the actual and official
eoant of opening night 1940 tbe first game played In tbe park
we Insist It is. The 1949 total has been highly controversial ever since,
as Biddy Bishop, then maestro of the ball works and one net immune
teWress exarreration Insisted .7500 were present that nifht Biddy
was so excited at the time we doubt If he counted the tickets. And
Inasmuch as no actual figures were yielded then, last week's 4335
must be considered as the record. The 4335 bested the 1948 turnout
by 2 easterners . . j
Pete Clipped of Chance to Manage Club'
Were It not for a fee! of $1000 Charley Petersen would today be
managing Blsbee In the Arisona-Texas league, a New York Yankee
farm dab. Pete got the Job bat the Yakima WIL club wanted $1000
for his contract' The Yankees refased, and so did Boss Fred Mercy
of the Yaks. Which doesnt give Yakima a very high rating in oar
book, for almost any dab will always release a player free If he
gets a ebance to manage somewhere. Last we heard, Pete returned
to the Yakima team for 1947 play ... . Just between yoa and me.
Skipper J. Wilson would like very- much having his talented brother-in-law
on the Senator nine, right along with Messrs. Daane Crawford
and Hal Summers. And 1 Wilson has lots of company in that wish,
lncladlng oars .... The club Is badly In need of power hitting, some
thing last season's outfit had In gobs. When yon take distance swats
men such as Woody Salmon, Dick Wenner, George Vlco and Hal
Summers off a ball, club-along with a .340 hitter like Crawford,
you're not leaving much for next year's manager. And J. Wilson
happens to be the fall gay In his very first year of managing ....
More help for Tacoma's Ttges. Now they've picked ap Roy Paton.
once wun Vancouver injuus league ana ttus spring almost good
enough to make the grade with the parent Los Angelinos. Paton hit
.323 in the Class AA Southern Ass'n last season . . . Sad 8am Gib
son, departed manager of the Bremertons will take a regular tarn
on the hill for his Reldsvllle team in the Trl-State loop this time.
