4 The Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Sunday. June 20. 1948 Rain Cancels Midget Races The stands were rapidly filling up and Les Anderson, just home from his Indianapolis classic try, managed to get in the only time trial of the night when rain in tervened and washed out the midget racing program at Holly wood Bowl last night. Anderson was the only one of the 22 driv ers on hand who had a chance to tour the track. There were 22 cars on hand for the meet, three from Seattle. Al so. Bob C'.rece. extr-me'v dis appointed, was primed to crack the record. He .".-.s been working all week on his No. 25 Smith Special, and other drivers also expressed outright disappointment, as they too had been sprucing up their pet buzz buggies for last night's run. Promoter Jimmy Ryan will In itall another meet next Saturday night.

HartunK and wesirum The Salem Senators are appar ently not for sale, it seems, at a reasonable price. A local group for the past few weeks hasbeen attempting to purchase the club, and has dispatched a representa tive to Vancouver to consult Owner George Norgan. Mr. Nor gan will sell, all right, but what he is asking for the club is pre posterous The local group is ready to pay what can be consid ered a more than fair price, (it's much more than Norgan paid for AL SPAETER the club when he and Bill Klep per bought it from Mrs. George Waters), but Morgan's tag Is too many thousands of dollars higher. Were the local men able to secure the franchise, they were prepared to invest even more money "for considerable jrtaying help." We for one are disappointed the transaction wasn't made, for we have felt for two seasons that the Portland-Salem tieup isn't doing right by our Nell. Salem has nev er had an overdue WIL pennant and, by virtue of the support the customers gave the club in 1946 nd last year, they are certainly entitled to one. Instead, the Port land policy concerning the Sena tors has been a quoted, "We don't care if you win down there we only want to develop future Beaver players." No pennant can be won that way not unless the Portlands begin snapping some rubber to supply their farm club with a larger assortment of their future greats. And the supply has been mighty slim last season and this The poor attendance at the park lately can be blamed on many things' and mostly too many loss es. If the figures don't begin picking us. however.

With but three more games remaining in district play for the Salems. they are faced with winning all and hoping for a Woodburn loss in order to finish in a tie with the latter team. Woodburn nosed the Salems. 3-2, in the only game played between the two clubs.

Walcott Opens Up On Sparring Pals G REN LOCH, N. J., June 9-iF) Jersey Joe Walcott opened up on his sparring partners today in his semi-final workout before Wed nesday's fight with Joe Louis. The challenger worked on his left jab, hooks-to the body and punching his way off the ropes. Walcott went four rounds and will wind up his boxing drills tomorrow with another three or four rounds. Austin Johnson, Curtis Sheppard and Middle weight Cliff Dyes provided the opposition. finish a dead last in the final compilations for all league cities. Prexy Bob Abel's attendance sta tistics for games through June 1 has Salem bringing up the rear despite the fact that other loop villas have had just as many rain outs as we. In order of their suc cess at the gate, as of June 1: Victoria, 36.693 (two rainouts); Spokane, 30.523 (nine rainouts); Tacoma, 30,178 (five rainouts); Wenatchee, 28,319 (three rain outs); Vancouver, 26.217 (eight rainouts); Yakima, 21.649 (five rainouts); Bremerton, 19,327 (six rainouts), and Salem, 19,098 (eight rainouts). There were no local rainouts early this week when the league-leading Tacoma club, a natural for huskier attend ance, drew only 3124 for five games, almost unbelievable It wouldn't be fair to jump all over the townies and at the same time fail to admit they are try ing their dangdest to stay up in the race. They're an unhappy lot when they lose, believe us. And contrary to the voiced opinions of some of the grandstand and bleacher wolves, every man on the club is putting forth his best effort. Sure, dobbers droop now and then when base hits are scarce. But the overall spirit on the club is good. One peP at the fielding ability of the team (first in the league) is indica tion enough that hustle is there. You Just can't do much offensive operating with a short deck, that's all Perhaps the most improved player on the club of late is agile little Al Spaeter. who up until recently did most of his hitting on the road. The former USC Trojan captain has more and more been finding the base-hit holes here at home, and his second basing has been easily the best in the league. As a pivot-man on double play throws, Al has few superiors m all organized base ball. Both Jim Turner and Jack Wilson consider him better than any in the Coast league when it comes to middle-manning a double play. Al's bustle has been in spirational also, and if he could maintain anything resembling a .275 batting1 average he would surely make the PCL grade. Others have been Impressive also the past week, but if there were a "player of the week" award to be given, we'd say Spaeter should pluck It .... . . - Junior Loops Wait 'Go' Salem's annual Junior Baseball leagues, three of same this year, finally ret into 1948 play this week, with cames booked for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the rerular days the circuits will operate each week.

If You Can Ride a Bike You Can Win a Prize! See Page 13 for Full Details WI I Solons Lose 3.0-9, Pirates Continue Wyatt, Olsen Jinx Busters Locals Fall Short With Late Rallies By Al Lichtner The town Senators busted loose for a satchel full of runs at Waters park last night, but whatever it is that has the whammy on 'em is still in command today. Despite tallying nine limes and collecting 13 assorted base hits, the Senators went down, 10 to 9, to the Brem erton Bluejackets. "Evil Eye" Fleegle couldn't do a worse job on our men, it seems, and they have now lost 10 of their last 12 outings. Rain fell throughout last night's mix, and may wash out tonight's doubleheader finale. If it doesn't, it will be Lefty Kenny Wyatt and Big Jim Olsen to the for for the J. Wilson flock in a full-fledged effort to put a stop to the jinx. The first game starts at 6:30 o'clock. Manager Allan Strange will counter with his ace lefty, Lloyd Hittle, in one of the tilts. The sparse gathering of 673 had little to shout about, other than at the Solons. for most of the mix as the enemy jumped out in front 5-0 in the third and then made it 9-1 in the sixth. But in their half of the sixth the locals, held to a measly two hits up to now by Big Johnny Marshall .shoved across four unearned runs. Even then things seemed hope less as the Tars clung to their 9-5 lead. They weren't made much better in th etop of the seventh when Bill Barisoff. the 40-homei hitting Bremerton lad of two sea sons back, parked one of Reliefer Bus McMillan's serves over the left field wall to make it 10-5. Apparently responding to their two-hour batting drill earlier in the day, the locals up and rappe.i Marshal lout in their half of the eighth, amassing six hits and a costly Bremerton boot for four more runs. This made it 10-9. McMillan got the Brems out in the ninth, much thanks to another of those intricate Wert-to-Gedzi-us-to-Wert double plays, and then it was first-sacker Jim himself who came within a whisker of providing the punch for a ninth inning Salem victory rally. With two out and Joe Gedzius on first as a result of a walk, Wert clouted a long drive into the right center hole, no less than his fifth hit of the night' It took perfect throws from the boards by Right fielder Ronning and by Eddie Samcoff on the relay to get Ged zius at the plate with the tying run. But perfect throws they were, even with a wet ball, and Gedzius was out by the whisker. Had Joe been able to make it, Wert was on second with the winning run and anything could have happened. But no such luck for the locals, who seem to have lost Dame For tune's address. Wert had been instrumental in three other tallies with his big night. He socked a triple, three doubles and a single. The two hour drill, perhaps. Bremerton's first big inning came at the expense of Vince La zor, who wouldn't mind getting his hands on that which seems to have him completely whammied this season. McMillan entered in the sixth and was touched for the next four runs, although nary a one was earned. Those were the first tallies scored off "Mac" this sea son, incidentally. Salem got to Marshall in the fifth for a loner, Gedzius walk and Wert's triple doing it. Gedzius, McMillan and Wert had hits in the four-run sixth, and Wert, Al Spaeter, Dick Sinovic. Eddie Barr, Bill Burgher and McMillan chipped in for the four-run eighth. Sidearmer John Conant relieved Marshall here. . . . Bremerton had 15 bingles for the night, Salem 13. . . . Outfielder Ralph Samhammer was in right field for the first time but didn't get much of a chance with the stick. He walked three times. ... As if things aren't bad enough.

N.J , June 19 (.-TV-Joe Louis' stock shot up ward today as the heavyweight champ cut loose with his old body attack against Tiger Roy Taylor, a sparmate with a style, similar to that of Jer.-ey Joe Walcott. Off this workout, the best of his long training siege, the champ showed every appearance of being a solid favorite. This, may have been the tipoff on what to expect Wednesday night in Yankee sta dium when he meets Walcott in a return title bout. In their first meeting, Louis did not thump to the body but he certainly let Taylor have it today.
