. Some day someone will rap out quite a feature story, and it will
be an A-l dandy. For it will be on Oregonian Sports Editor I H.
Gregory, dean of the Northwest's portswriters whose oft seriously
authored eccentricities at times lean to the pricesless side. The gray
ing Greg no one seems to know how old he is or how Jong he's
been spreading his athletic gospel ..
to thousands through his sheet, but
legend has it he attended the U
of Oregon 'way back when is the
biggest asset The Oregonian has.
But -you wouldn't think so to see
him suffling about, his pockets
bulging with an assortment of
favorite pens, pencils, old and new
magazines and record books, jsii
yer dollars, stomach pills and lat
est editions. Or is it off the ordi
nary to see him bare-headed, his
thining pompodour standing
straight up as if it had never been
introduced to a comb.
The famed old character's life
is
anchored by baseball, and
we
among hundreds of others believe
anyone take the Beavers from Portland. At one time Greg must have
been somewhat of a pitcher, for to this day he still challenges the
mound to hurl for his Oregonian Orioles. The heart and mind is will
ing, but the arm ain't, would be one way of describing his blooper
ball hurling. But he's as serious as Joe DiMaggio in a crucial world
series game whenever he's in his playing togs. It can be no other
way with the guy, who will also hurl verbal fire at you if you call
him by his disliked first name, Lair.
Serious about his pitching? We thought he would take a bite out
of Umpire Don Hendrie when he called a close one against Greg the
other day at Waters park, where
he eventually bounced off the
' mound with all the gusto and
glee of a 'teen-ager after beating
our Statesman Stagnants, 10-4, in
nine full innings. The Waters or
. chard will be one of Greg's favor
, ite yards from here in after that
ouung. t
Taleby the Dozens
There are hundreds of yarns
flitting around on the guy, who
nonetheless commands the respect
of a czar, and each one carries a
bigger charge than the other. For
instance, there was the time here
in the valley, after a ball game,
when someone suggested they go
someplace to eat. Greg knew just
the place, where the very best
could be had, so off went the par
ty in his car. It wasn't until they
had reached a distant Columbia
river village that all hands were
convinced Greg was en route to
Pendleton to one of his pet restau
rants! And he was in no way, shape
or form kidding. He was in all
seriousness going to Pendleton to
eat. Also, it's nothing for him to
' hop out of bed and head for a
Chinese restaurant for breakfast,
where he will consume three or
four bucks worth of chow mein,
fried rice, sweet 'n sour, etc., for
his morning meal. He's pulled that
one while on the road with, the
Beavers in the spring. He's strict
ly a silver dollar man all the way,
for he doesn't believe in carrying
the paper bucks around. His meth
od of addressing the press box on
the topic of. base hits, errors and
earned runs in the Beaver park.
where he's official scorer, has the
whole PCL. grinning. He bangs on
a telegrapher's key, hooked up to
a buzzer in both the radio and
press box, and can play a merry
tune with the numerous combina
tions he's rigged up for the hits,
errors, etc.
Yards and yards of copy could
be dashed out on Greg and his
whims, including of course his de
vout dislike for basketball referees
with tooting whistles. And some
day someone will do himself a
favor by writing the guy up. Good
ness knows he writes 'em up in
his column, and there are more
than a few who consider getting
their name in it comparable to a
raise in pay.
Camilla Sets Precedent
Dolph Camilli, in town with his
Spokane Indians, is not only mak
ing his debut here as a WIL skip
per, but also establishes another
precedent. Dolph is the first man
ager in the league who was once
the most valuable player in a ma
jor Iod. He was thai in the Na
tional circuit one season while
first-basing for Brooklyn. He could
also qualify as the top father
among baseball managers, for his

'em coming ballplayers) and two
girls. A native of Laytonville, CaL,
Camilli played five years under
Buddy Ryan at Sacramento, after
the San Francisco Seals had given
up on him as a player. The Sacs
sold Dolph to the Cubs In 1933 for
$25,000, and the next season th
Cubs swapped him to the Phillies.
Four years later he was sold to
Brooklyn for $60,000 and remain
ed with the Dodgers six years.
Managing is nothing new for Cam

Two Contests
Set Tonight
By Bob Keuscher
Johnny Price, the trick and

of the season, to Waters park
last night, and they not only saw
Johnnv'a sensational baST of

Spokane Indians edged the Town

series at a game apiece. The two

the Spokes' final stand of the
year here.
All of the, scoring was confin

as the Indians little Bill Wer

duel for the first eight frames.
Bob Hedington led off the
ninth with a double to left-center.
Ed San Clement moved him
along with a sacrifice, and then
Werboski, who had whiffed all
three time to the plate prev
iously, lashed a sharp single to
right to drive Hedington across
with what loomed as the winning
run. Werboski went on to second
when the ball got away from Cal
Mclrvin in right field. Edo Vanni
then lined a hard drive at Jim
Wert and the big firstsacker pull

Sammy Baker
Leads Victors
Ex-Corvallis Star
Scores 4 Touchdowns
PORTLAND, Ore- Aug. 2&-(Ah-
Big Sammy Baker .of, Corvallis
sparked the state all-stars to a
35 to 13 victory over the Portland
all-stars tonight as the two teams
of high school players inaugurated
a Shrine benefit football series.
The six foot., one inch and 194
pound quarterback scored four of
the five stale touchdowns while
Sammy Baker was named V the
outstanding, player of the first an
nual game featuring seniors of last
year's scholastic teams throughout
the state. The vote was unanimous
by four judges.
right end Jerry Mitchell of Ash
land made all the extra point con
versions.
"The Staters steamrollered their
way through the first three quar
ters. They led 7-0 after the first
quarter, 28-0 at the halftirhe and
35-0 after the third quarter.
Both Portland touchdowns came
in the final quarter and were
scored on passes from Johnny Fer
rell of Grant to Dave Powell of
Washintgon, who then scooted for
seven and eight yards for the
scores. Powell also kicked the one
extra point after his own touch
down.
Baker made his 4th touchdown
and the final one for the State team
from the Portland 16 yard line
Like the others, he put down his
head and rammed through and
went over on his feet.
Baker paced the victors to their
half time lead. He scored, two of
me louendowns, one a sensauonal
88 yard run after snagging the ball
on a pass interception.
The long sprint Was a climax to
the steam rollering that the Stat
ers rave the Poftiand sauad and
came with leSSthan two minutes
of the half remaining.- Portland
had pounded and passed to within
12 yards of paydirt in a determin
ed drive. It looked like Portland'!
first goal. But Baker upset the
try. He snatched the ball on the
5, cut through the field and romp
ed away for the opposite end of
the field with the Portland players
tailing away on his trail.
The Staters started scoring in
the first quarter when Baker ran
the ball and Mitchell of Ashland
made the first of his four conver
sions.. Gene Morrow took a pass
from Baker on Portland's 20 and
went over for the second touch
down soon after the second auar
ter opened. Mitchell again con
verted.
The Staters third score was bv
Erhile Holeman of Pendleton. It
came after Tommy Edwards of
Klamath Falls went over but saw
the play called back to the 10 on
a penalty. Holeman pushed over
ior tne extra point.
