12 The Stritesmtni,' Salem, Oregon. Sunday,: Angus! 13V 194$ Senators Cap paps Ywicep B$h in Mow Locals Angle Nearer Fifth Spot; Beavers Due for Exhibish Monday CAPILANO STADIUM, Vancouver, B.C Atjig. 14-(Special)-Ap-parently imbued with the same spirit that is tarrying their Coast league Portland Beaver brothers toward a first division berth, Salem's Senators today copped Dotn enas couver Capilanos, 8-7 and 6-4, to sweep the three-game series and rack up their fifth victory in a row. The wins pulled Salem to within 3V4 games of the fifth place Capilanos. No action for the Solons Sun day, but on Monday .night they take on the Portlands in an ex hibition game at Waters park, 8:15 o'clock. It will be the "battle of the red hots," so to speak. In the afternoon game the now torrid Senators exploded for sev en runs in the fourth to chase Bob Costello and give Jim Olsen a 7-0 lead. Olsen didn't finish the game, however, even though he was recipient of his 14th win of the season. Both Ray McNulty and Bob Stevenson were pressed into action in the ninth when the Caps scored three runs. Mel Nunes was the batting big in this game, with three hits. Nunes batted in three runs in the first inning of the second game also. Vancouver went ahead 4-3 off Gene Peterson in the fifth, but Salem tallied thrice more in the sixth on a two-run error by Cap Pitcher Sandy Robertson and Jim Wert's clutch single. When the Vans loaded the bases in their half, Manager Jack Wilson in serted KaV Saltzman and he put out their fire. Saltzman then blanked the Caps the rest of the way to preserve Peterson's third triumph. Salem was badly outhit in both games, but won nonethe less.

"Gosh," goshed the oldie, "I don't feel so bad now even the hotshots do it." Of the $1,500 in cash put up by sponsoring SGC men, first place Pro Bill Welch took down $450, well worth com ing after from hometown Lewis ton, Ida.

Flager Going Great "Thought I would let you know Wally Flager is doing a swell job at Fresno he really is helping that club and everybody . likes him. i I feel very fortunate in hav ing obtained him." Which is, in part, a note from Ken Penner, headman for the St. Louis Car dinals on the West Coast, who was badly in need of a shortstop for his Fresno Cal-State loop club and gave Wally , $1,000 In bonus money Just to 'finish out the season there.

Portland had won seven straight games previous Bach Again Jim Turner (above), who has his Portland Beavers Jattling for a first division berth in the Coast league race, will wear his broad smile at Waters park Monday night when the Bevos and Sa lem Senators play the second of the exhibition tilts, at 8:15 o'clock.

But in all fairness to the guy who has been strictly a gem on the road all season and nothing more than a choice target for criticism just as long in Waters park mixes, let it be known that Gedzius (1) has hit six homers this summer for fourth high on the club, has (2) batted: in over 50 runs for fourth best also, has (3) no peer in the league afield when it comes to going to; his right after ground ers and making the long throw to first base and, best of all. has (4) not uttered one peep all season about aches, pains or the brutality with which the Waters customers ride him. Joe simply doesn't have tne knack of playing at home as he does orj the road. If. he did, he'd be hitting around .350 for one thing, and would be classed as the best fielding shorts topper in the loop, s Gedzius just happens to be one of those rare , birds who is an A-l dandy in the enemy camp, but an unexplainable flop in his own. Nothing; seems to be right for the guy here. If there's a bad hop in the infield Joe is sure to be on the wrong end of it. If there's a bad call on a pitch, Ged zius Is at bat r Were the likeable Chicagoan able to switch his home-road performance, he'd be one of the more popular players on the club. ... OSCs Turn Now Almost I all Northwest col leges seem to get their share of the Hawaiian athletes sooner or later. Now comes Oregon State's turn, according to a shot In one of the Island papers.

The tournament was to have ended today, but the postponement necessitates play on Monday. A Monday afternoon tilt, probably for the title, is also booked. Only three teams are left in the run ning, for earlier yesterday, before the rains came, Oregon City elim inated The Dalles with a 4-2 vic tory. The loser of this afternoon's game will go against Oregon City tonight at 8:15. The loser there is out, along with The Dalies, and the winner advances to Monday's tilt. There can be no Monday night game, as the Salem Senators are playing the Portland Beavers here then. The Rock Woolers were in front 2-0 when play was halted last night. They had taken to Albany's highly - touted Junior Simons in earnest, and had scored on singles by Clarence Schmer and Roland Beckman, sandwiched with a walk, a passed ball and two wild pitches. The Dalles had the afternon tilt tucked away, 2-1, with two outs in the eighth and two runners on base for Oregon City. But those two runners scored when Short stop Len Zimmerman smashed a triple off relief pitcher Ed Urness, who had just been called in to re place Bob Smith, although Smith had yielded only four hits the en tire game. Zimmerman then romp ed across with the third run of the inning on Pinch-hitter Elmer Misley's bloop single to center on the first pitch. The Dalles had scored twice in the second inning off O-C's Don Hopp, on an error, fielder's choice and hits by Fred Von Orsdol and Joe Harvey. The game was dotted with sharp fielding plays and, al most unbelievably, took only 1 hour and 30 minutes to be played.
