IL! "Gregory, sports editor of The Oregonlan. We 4 note in part a- letter received from Greg, who has known Black Jack as boy and! man,: and shortstop for Jbo famous "Oregonlan Orioles," that mighty I-years-undefeated baseball nine on, which Greg himself leads the way as pitcher:' Tickled to death about 'Jack Wilson Night What real v pleases me Is that you are finally giving recognition - to the shortstop of the Orioles. We dis covered - him a long while before Salem did. It's simply understood that the I EAL purpose of the gathering Is to pay overdue honor to the top Oriole. Aside from that Tm sure glad other people have discovered what I have known for many years that Jack Wilson Is one of our kind of people. We had even bigger ideas for hire than manager or Salem, which ii no Insult to Salem, either. The touch thing was to get. him back into the rg-mnizaUon (Portland Beavers) which has now been accomplished. They have seen for themselves ; what a grand guy he Is. Remember our Orioles vs. Salem game of last year? Well, playing In oar Class X league (with due apologies to all concerned), this bird Wilson hustled "so hard thaf he bad one big - strawberry ' from his hip down his thigh from sliding! How could we help but be for a guy like that? . The 'night' is wonderfuL but don't spoil the man. There's still that Oriole shortstop hole to keep filled, you know!" . . . ' . Confuting, but not amusing: Johnny Lewis' Aero dab Legion team of Portland won It and lost but once during the regular season, but came the playoffs and the Aeros dropped two games to the Dari gold, a team the Aeros whipped three times previously!

The Arba Ager coached Portlands, needing but one more win for the title, take a blow tonight at five o'clock when Albany and Woodburn col lide for the right 'to tackle the 'Golds In an eight o'clock game. The first game was moved up from seven o'clock so that the second contest, starting at eight, might be over by midnight. Should the winner of tonight's opener come through in the se cond game with a nod over the Darigolds, a title-deciding clash will be played Monday night at eight o'clock. Tournament Direc tor Ira Pilcher of Capital Post No. 9 has announced. Such a game is unlikely, however, for the 'Golds have their ace lefthander Don White fresh and ready to go in tonight's second stint, while both the Albany and Woodburn clubs have taken their best pitch ing shots and still must play each other in the opener tonight Righthander Harley Piper of Pete DeGuire's Woodburns un furle'd one of the best I pitched games of the meet in blanking the Hood Rivers with two scratch hits. Piper, using a good fast ball and a wide-breaking curve whiffed 16 H-Rivers, tops for the tourney. He walked three and never was in serious trouble. Woodburn got a run in the first inning, driven in with a long fly by Eddie Kahut, and two more in the fourth on a double by Dale Yuranek, a single by Piper him self and Bob Dahl's double. The second game was one for the books. Albany got but three hits off 'Gold Pitcher Ken Jensen, but the Movers found themselves coming up with runs all over the big arena as the Portlands kicked in with no less than 12 errors. Jensen fanned 10 to help haul himself out of most of the bad holes his mates got him in. Al bany romped in five unearned runs in the fifth when the 'Golds must have set some sort of a record by making six errors in the heat. Darigold chased Albany Starter Junior Simons in the fourth with a six-run blast, on five hits, ' but the Albany fifth tied the score at 8-8. In the bottom of the sixth, however, Ralph Krafve singled, Jensen clouted a long triple to right-center and Dave -Powell squeeze-bunted Jensen in all for the two runs which won the game for the Portlands. Darigold rapped eight hits off two Mover f lingers, and for other than the 12 boots still looked like the classiest out fit in the playoffs. , : Hood River ooo ooo ooo o a s woodburn -100 200 00 3 S 1 Wicsman.
