10 Thi Stcrtoamcm SoUm, Onqon. Wmdndaj, fun 16. 1949 Solons (Drop Pair to Slide to Fourth Wyatt, Olson Hurl Tonight Dick Genlzkow Sold; Burgher Make Debut Br Al Llghtner Tacoma league leading Tigers caught the town Senators with the lower portion of their pitching staff showing Ust night at Waters field, got a pair of well-pitched games themselves and downed the locals in both ends of the doubleheader, 6-3 and 5-3. Thus the big nine game week at home with the top two W1L clubs started out on the wrong foot. The double los dropped the Solons into a fourth place tie with Victoria and the wins hiked the Tiger' leading margin to three games over second place Bremerton. Two more of these important struggles tonight, starting at 6:30 o'clock, and it will be Lefty Kenny Wyatt and Big Jim Olson with Manager Jai k Wilson's hill assign ments. Wyatt. in making his home debut of the season, will be after his second v.in over Tacoma. Olson will be gunning fr his ninth straight. As opposition. Skipper Jim Brilmeuit w.r. 'fei K and probably Angello VentureMi. Vince Lazor and Bus Sporer, who just cant seem to going this seme.-ter. dropped the duke last night. Vince was biff-'d Jo. fall six entmy iuiis in the only three heat-; he wui kei. ;nd it was Handyman B;i McMillan who came in to iei:ee hin. and hurl scoreless ball the next four in nings. But the damage as done. The best the locals could do as three tallies off Lefthander Ray Fortier in the fifth. Fortier ile. Ke.i in with a six-hitter, and alon uith Mate Jim Gleason, who won the nightcap with another six-hit-ter. found the Senator atting punch sadiv lacking. Sporer went the ioute in his whirl and for eight innings had a chance to .--pear his first and en tirely too elusive win. He was be hind only 3-2 goig 1; to the ninth, but then yielded .wo more runs nd the ball game. New C'atcner B: 11 Buigher, down from the paient Bevos after sign ing out of 'he U of Oregon and Cascade league, broke in with a bang. He c.iuht the first game and biffed double besides hit ting two t.U.c. pitche.. hard. Then in the setoiu game as relief re ceiver he up .i.id clouted another double off C. ta.-c: in t:.e ninth, this one driv . g ucru.v- Salem's fi nal tally.

Although their pitching and plate punch sagged, the Salems did give the wee gathering of 946 an example of their league-leading defensive ability. Both Al Spaeter and Mel Nunes, who seem bent on proving they're tops at their trade with the leather In the WIL, turned in some dandy plays. So did Danny Perlmutter, Tiger center-fielder, who covered his pasture almoxt as completely as did the green grass. He hauled flown three terrific linen by Ed die Barr in the first game alone.

Tho Capitol operators have been the recipient of several offers for their popular pin layout and considered the latest Just too good to turn down. Both Tex and Walner think high ly of Salem as a town and also are enthusiastic over the bowling future here, but as soon as the transaction la completed both plan to head south Into climes which are less conducive to phys ical miseries during the winter time. Needless to say. a large block of local cltixens arc going to be mighty sorry to see the pair take leave for Keel and Rosten JOE 8TEIOEK had the necessary savvy for op erating a bowling set-up and also were instrumental in building the alley game into a mighty popular sport hereabouts . . . Incidentally Tex and Walner will be bringing Joe Wilman to town June 2th, strictly for the benefit of local wheelers. As Keel says. "It'll bo a little gesture of appreciation for the support given us by the bowlers" . . . Might mention, too, that among the accomplishments credited to the Keel -Rosten part nership is the biggest and richest state meet oa record. After seeing Billy Beard try mightily to pull the lertland Beavers through to a win with a three-run homer la the second game of Sunday's twin-bill and after watching Del Ballinger asesu up an infield pop to give the Ban Francisco Seals a gift tally which ultimately decided that nightcap, we're wondering, slong with a lot of other guys, why the same Ballinger gets the catching ;-- ?-" L t I "' Vo ' V 9 "'r' ' ' -f am j -A jL .

Pres ent plans call for the "B" circuit to open next Tuesday, the "A" on the following Wednesday and the "C" on Thursday. Playing schedules for all three leagues will be released this week. Amerks Liked At Wimbledon LONDON, June lS-fP)-America's tennis contingent dominated the seedings for next week's Wim bledon championships announced today, topping both the men's and women's lists and gnining five of the eight places in each of the singles divisions. Frankie Parker, who is strong ly favored to succeed the depart ed Jack Kramer as men's cham pion, was seeded No. 1 In that di vision. Mrs Margaret Osborne Dupont, defending champion in women's singles, also drew a No. 1 spot. Beard really hasn't had a chance to show his wares with the Port lands, spending all his time In the bull pen. No denying that Charley Silvers has call en the first string receiving Job for the little guy Is a pepperlsh and erackerjack mlttman. But if ex Senator Billy can't outthrow and outhit Mr. BaUinger we'll take a back seat . . . Deliberate. That was Tommy Bridges as he threw that fine two-hitter at the Seals Sunday. It was a pretty picture. Indeed, to see Tommy, who Just drips with pitching smartness, cross the Seal hitters up time and again with his fast one when they were expecting his more pub licised hook. For Bridges, though In the neighborhood of 4Z, still possesses plenty of the old swift and don't let anybody tell you differently . . . Speaking of the 'Frisco dob. Lefty O'Doul may be an Inspiring manager but he doesn't show It on the coaching line. Lefty, as a rule, doesn't ut ter two words and generally shows no more life than a block of wood over the course of a con test Latest swinger to Jaunt around the Salem Golf club premises in record-equalling figures Is Lou Jennings, the sharp Portland am ateur. Lou hit 32-32 last week while playing with local pro Joe Stelger and ho would have set a new mark if he hadn't muffed a short putt on the ninth . . . Fine opportunity for some of you very young but ardent dlvoters to learn the golf game early Is pro Tided by the Junior school which was Inaugurated last Friday by Stelger. As the saying goes, the best chance for a grooved swing rests on getting the fundamentals in as early as possible. You'll hear lots and lots of duffers mut tering about starting In 10 years too late . . . That's one reason the 8GC pro opened the school so there'll be less slices and dubs In the local picture It years from now. Dick Allison, the Willamette and former Salem high bailer.

J., June lS-lTVFor man who says he "expects to win quick," Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis still is shockingly easy to hit with a straight right hand. This chink in the Brown Bomber's armor was quite evident today as he went four rounds with assorted sparmates in prepara tion for his title defense against Jersey Joe Walcott at Yankee stadium June 23. Dick Hagan, an ex-Golden Glove heavyweight champ from Chicago, scored consistently with a right shot to the head before Tiger Roy Taylor, a 180-pounder from New York, put on a cagy imitation of Walcott. Promoter Mike Jacobs was an interested spec tator. The champ definitely will continue work through Monday with four more scheduled boxing sessions. He will spar again Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Louis boxed one round each with Hagan. Taylor, Shamus O'Brien and McKinley English after undergoing a preliminary physi cal examination by Dr. Vincent Nardiello, the New York commission physician. He was pronounced "much improved'' over his condition before the first Walcott fight last December. In an interview before the workout, Louis again blamed his poor December fight on drying out to take off weight. He assured some 40 reporters that he would not repeat the error. Before the drill he said he weighed 215, a weight he hopes to hold until ring time. Work Starts Soon on New OSC Hoop Palace OREGON STATE COLLEGE Actual construction work on the new pavilion here for basketball and other uses will start about June 21 by the J. F. Watts Construction company of Portland, low bidders on the contract. Final award of the general, mechanical and electrical contract was made by the state board of higher education follow ing sale of an enlarged bond issue at the June meeting in Portland. The bonds are backed by the stu dent building fee and rental in come from the intercollegiate ath- ; letic board, hence no money from I the state building fund or other state sources goes into this struc ture. Completion of the huge pavilion, to seat more than 10.000 persons, is not expected much in advance of a year, though there Is a possiDin ty that the main playing floor ana auditorium may be usable before that time. The pavilion will be located at the south border of the present campus, on 20th street southwest of the present football stadium. It will be used for general student assemblies, the concert and lec- tures program and other purposes requiring a large auditorium. Of fices and other facilities for the entire Intercollegiate athletic pro gram will be housed in the struc ture.

'Sugar' Needs Kayo Victory CHICAGO, June 15-;p-Sugar Ray Robinson, knockout winner over 58 of his 88 foes in an eight year career, figures he also must flatten Challenger Bernard Docu sen Thursday night, or kiss good bye to his welterweight crown and a shot at Tony Zale. Robinson, a 6 to 1 favorite at the moment, said today he believed that if the 21-year-old Docusen used his dancing-master tactics for the 15-round route at Cominsky park, the decision could go against him. Prime motive in Robinsn's rigorous preparation for his third, and perhaps last defense of his welter crown, obviously is a chance at Zale's newly-acquired middleweight crown. A knockout triumph would start a steam-roller movement for a Robinson-Zale bout which conceivably could lure a record middleweight gate. Head Wallops Busy Walcott GRENLOCH, N. J.. June IS-iTPV-Jersey oe Walcott boxed four brisk rounds today, concentrating on throwing punches to the head, as he sharpened up for his world championship fight uno 23 against Joe Louis in Yankee stadium. Only three more hard workouts remain before he will move into a quiet hotel in New York to await what he firmly believes is his big chance to win the heavyweight championship from Louis. Throughout Walcott showed the same fancy dance steps, and con tinuous bobbing and weaving that so baffled Louis when they met last December. Although obviously not working at top speed, Walcott moved effortlessly around the ring, threw hard blows when he felt like it, and at all times was the master of the situation. Walcott's emphasis on lefts to the head indicated he reliance on this weapon against the champion. If Louis has a vulnerable spot, it is his head. Walcott now weighs 196'2 pounds and aims at entering the ring at from 193 to 195. (Three leaders in each league.) G AB R H Pet. i Williams. Red Sox 48 180 46 71 .394 j Musial.
