The fabulous Satchel Paige mailt his major league debut with Cleveland ia. relief assignment the other night. But we saw no re port of his baring: also exhibited one of his famous stunts, that of ordering his three outfielders to come and sit behind him on the mound while he majestically, at well as vociferously, cut down the enemy at the plate. This was t s- - -i . V ! i ft i t LUXE CBOSSWHITE nee upon a time a pet Paige prank, and he got away with it repeatedly. Naturally, it had ev eryone but the smouldering oppo sition guffawing all over the place. We saw eld Satch (he says he's 19 now, but he must have listened to Jack Benny too long) pull the stunt back in 1938 In a Southern California winter league game In which he was toiling for the White King Giants. In fact, we were one of the three batters in line to face Paige in the ninth inning. Tall, rawboned and sassy, and backing this up with blinding speed and a vicious curre, . Satch waved "his outer defenses' to a grassy seat a isw feet behind him. Then with a defiant grin he in formed -his mates, we of the ene my and the numerous customers, "Don't worry, these white boys ain't gonna touch Ol Satch no how. f I In short, we didn't. If our mem ory hasnt logged, there was one foul tip on the nine pitches he made in striking out the side! That was, a dozen yean ago, and even then Paige' was considered "old." We are among the many who would have liked knowing just how the guy would have done as a major leaguer those 12 years back, and even before then. Speaking; of pitchers. Warden George Alexander's clan now has a pair who have made the Greys once more a potent outfit. Hotz and Hummingbird are the gents, and the latter, an Indian, is con sidered quit a prospect The Greys have been knocking over the visiting baseball opposition regularly of late, and already a formal challenge has been made to the Salem Capitols for a Waters park Vanport relief benefit game. The boys believe they have a fine club again- one of the best since the oft-remembered days of Big Luke Crosswhite St Co.' his tenure with the Amarillo, Texil. club earlier this season. Add one who has made the big jump from the WIL to the Coast league, Lee Monr. He was van couver's second") baseman last sea son and now plays center field for Seattle. Also, Mobr is considered the fastest man in the PCTL. . Infielder Snag Moore up and quit the Bremerton club and has been signed by Yakima. Once an Amer ican Legion junior ball great from Lewis ton, Ida.. Moore says Mgr Alan Strange is getting such a parade of new men from Oakland that he 'can't find places to put them. . . . The hundreds of shooters from all over the country who will this week shoot up the Salem gun club premises In the gigantic Grand Pacific tournament will long re member the classic. The sponsor ing Salem gangv a busy lot late ly, will give each registered shot gunner a bronze souvenir medal, dandy and costly items. There are 430 available, an indication of the expansiveness of the tournament. in answer to numerous requests, George ; Vlco is now hitting around .275 for Detroit after hav ing slumped to 29S on July 1. . . Woody Salmon has gone on Spo kane's ailing list after having caught exactly one 'game. It's the same sore shoulder misery that kept El Wbodrow idle most of last Bill Bevens comes off the Yan kee suspended list next Saturday. And since the Yanks could stand the addition of a winning starter, the gate to success is once more wide open for Big Bill. Of course it will all depend upon his ailing arm. Bevens has taken on the new look by dwindling down to a solid and almost unbelievable 208 pounds, but lo, as much as we dislike reporting it, his arm still troubles him. As to the extent, all should find out within the next 10 days. If it's still bad after the 60 days of specialized and costly treatment, 'tis a certainty he will be through, for this season at least. If on the other hand he can go with it effectively, three rous ing hurrahs. Next Saturday will be a mighty important day in the life of Sa lem's only major leaguer. 1948 Hunting Rules listed A I20VIIIG?

July 10 JP)- A permanent open season on racoon was asked by several groups to day at the state game commission hearing on hunting regulations. Charles Scott, Coos Bay. repre sentative of the Southwestern Oregon Sportsmen's association, declared that ever since racoon coats went out of style the ani mals have been propagating .so fast they are ruining crops. The oldest competitor to win a major forensic competition this year is Frank M. Lockman, 1525 D st, a student In Willamette uni versity.' lockman is 50, a father and grandfather. He won first in oratory at the invitational inter collegiate speech tournament at Montana State university last April. He also won the Paul Doney award,' announced at the recent commencement Lockman was in business for years in the Coos Bay country. At the age of 49 he sold out and came to Salem with the intention to take law course at Willamette. He hadn't graduated from high school but he took examinations and won a diploma at Salem high. His work in the liberal arts department at Willamette diverted him from the law intentions. Now he plans to obtain a Ph. D. degree and then embark on a teaching career. His major field Is speech, with a min or in history. He hopes to become an instructor in speech. Lockman admits that when he first tried speaking in the speech class at W.U. he was overcome by stage fright He gives Dr. Herbert Rahe. the instructor, credit for patience and guidance until he could be at ease on the platform. Besides taking part in class and contest work at the university Lockman participated with student teams in appearances at 12 church services in valley towns. Study was hard work at first, and his grade average the first semester was only 2.875. He brought that up last semester to 3.76. Next summer Lockman plans to go to Germany to study lan guage. He participates in college life as si member of Sigma Chi fraternity. After three semesters of college work Lockman has no regrets for his decision to give up business and go to school. In fact his en thusiasm grows as he embraces his opportunities in the academic field.
