The inevitable caught up with the town Senators at Waters field last night in their opener with
Ted Norbert's Victoria Athletics. J. Francis Wilson's hirelings, their bats as frigid as the 1056 customers,
lost their first game of the WIL campaign, 4 to 2. And there wasn't much question about it all the way

shift, Jiggs Burnett from Wood

Jiggs has done a fine Job In his
five years with the Bulldogs, and
has long been- deserving of a,
erack at more money and a larger
school. He gets both at West Linn,
and In the process leaves a gap at
Woodburn which will be very dif
ficult to fill indeed. We had hoped
to see Burnett take a whirl at the

second consecutive Marion - Polk
league win with a 2-D victory over
Sacred Heart in an extra-inning
game. Wagner struck out 18 men

The game was played in Stayton

ington State unlimbered its hea
vy lumber after a slow start to
day and crushed Washington 18-8
in a northern division baseball
game.
The result evened the two-game
series at one win each.
hands teed off for 15 mostly solid
base hits, while the Salems were
gleaning a scant five, all singles.
The Vic win stopped the Sena
tors at two straight wins but failed
to pull them from the league lead,
a perch they now possess along
with Vancouver's Caps.
The teams go at it again tonight
at 8:15 o'clock, and it will be Lefty
Cal Mclrvin making his first
mound start for the Solons, against
Fastballer Len Kasparovitch, a
member of the 1947 Victoria crew.
Mclrvin will have nine right
handed batters to face, incidental
ly. There is a dire shortage of
southpaw swingers on Norbert's
nine.
Sidearmer Vince Lazor, the No.
1 flinger in the league last sea
son with his 18-6 record, was no
puzzle at all for the A's last night.
Vince had about as much stuff as
he has had spring training little
more than nothing and the Vies
whacked at him merrily for the
three frames he toiled. He yielded
nine hits in all and three of the
Victoria runs. Five of those bin
gles came in the Vic second, good
for two runs. Three more came in
the third for the other tally off
Lazor.
Rookie Jim Olson, spectacled
righthanded who saw service in
the Cal-State circuit with Visalia
last year, went the next six heats,
and for other than one run on
three hits in the ninth, he exhib
ited stuff and savvy enough to
insure his job with the Wilcnnc
Victoria got six hits off Olson, but

What Olson lacked on the hill
and it certainly wasn't much he
made up for at the dish. A left
handed rapper at 220 pounds, Big
Jim belted two of the five Salem
nits, and both were kissed solidly
oeyona me lniield.
Ulson s performance was about
the only thing nice about the out
ing, although the Bud Peterson-
to-Al Spaeter-to-Jim Wert com
Dine clicked for two sparkling
double plays which kept the ene
my from scoring more runs. Pete
started 'em both and looks as if
ties a 100 per cent better fielder
than he was last year. But alas, 'tis
about time Portland called him
back for shipment to a higher
league, for Mel Nunes' wounded
knee is okeh and he's ready to go.
Hits by Archie Wilson, Charley
Balassi, Bob Koraleski, Pitcher
Del Owens and Frank Cirimile in
the second brought the two-run
woe to Lazor. In the third Jake
Palmer, Wilson and Koraleski hit
for the third tally.
Salem could do little with
Starter Owens for three heats, but
in the fourth he walked Al Spae
ter and Joe Gedzius, and it cost
him a run. Dick Sinovic dropped
a single into left to score Spaeter
with one out, but some Class X
base-running by other gents oc
cupying the sacks ended the in
ning long before Sinovic could
catch his breath after reaching
first base.
The Solons sent Owens out in
the fifth when another walk to
Jim Wert, Olson's first single and
solos by Peterson and Spaeter
were good for one run. The rally
looked big, but Joe Blankenship,
an old Vitoria reliable was rushed
in by Norbert and he responded
brilliantly. He yielded exactly one
hit, by Olson in the seventh, the
rest of the way.
The locals were hitting the ball
all right, but not very hard. The
Victoria infield had 21 assists sans
a bobble, and altogether the visi
tors appeared to be a young outfit
very capable afield and ditto at
the dish. Second-sacker Cirimile,
with Ventura of the Cal-State loop
last year, and Shortstop Palmer,
with Denver at the same time.
each belted three hits.

Phantom Tops
Weaver on Mat
The hooded and hated Phantom
turned one of Buck Weaver's at
tempted backward flying mares
into a mess of head butts and a
fall last night in their mainer at
the armory, and it was worth the
main event victory to the masked
man. The white-faced villain had
earlier used his head butts and a
figure-4 toe hold to take the first
fall in 42 seconds flat. Then Wea
ver tied the count with his pet
"neck breaker" after tricking FJ
Phantom into the backward fly
ing mare. Weaver was going for
this hold again in the third chap
ter when the Phantom caught him
with the vicious head butts.
The semiwindup went to a fall-
apiece draw between Frankie
Hart and George Dusette. Dus
ette's full nelson won the opening
fall in 27 minutes. Hart put across
his rolling toe hold to tie it with
12 minutes to go. In the opener
Baldy Knox used a back-breaker
to take the only fall from Gust
Johnson In 30 minutes.
