It was Dick's long poke, against the left field fence in the ninth, with the bases loaded, that put a -fitting climax to "Picture Night," the gem that lured 1626 patrons into the park to pick up a picture of the Senators team. Sinovic's Wallop came off Yak Manager Hub Kittle, who had en tered the hassle in the ninth af ter relieving Starter Max Strait. Kittle wasn't his usual self, how ever, as he walked the bases load ed and then faced Dick with only one out. Consequently, he picked up the los$. j The win) was snatched by Lin field Genej Peterson, who pitched only part lot an inning also, af ter coming in for Solon Starter Cal Mcirvin in the ninth. Pete's quick win was his! fourth of the season. Mclrvin seeking No. 16, had it satcheled jby a 6-3 .count going into the Yak ninth. But then the Packers tied; it up on four hits, a wild pitch and a walk to deny Lefty Cal.j jPeterson, coming on with two runs in and a runner on third, wild pitched across the tying tally, i Mclrvin had in the fifth wold pitched in another Yak tally. '".- The Yaks took to Mclrvin with gusto in the! first frame and tal lied twice ion singles by Bob Bur ris, Charley Petersen, who seems to delight' in making it rough on our townies, and Bill Barisoff, plus an outfield fly by Lu Estes. alem went 4-2 ahead in the sec ond off Strait, however, when Jimmy Wert, Sinovic and Mel Nunes had singles, Eddie Barr, Bill Burgher and Mclrvin picked up walks and the Packers pitched in two errors! The score stayed at 4-2 until the fifth, when Mclrvin wild pitched Larry Orteig in from third, where he had gone after walking and moving jup on Estes' single. The two Salem tallies in the seventh, on! a double by Wert, a bunt-hit; by Al Spaeter, another Yak error and Ralph Samham mer's single to center, put the Salems in; front, 6-3. Then came the Yak rally in the top of the ninth, and Mclrvin's demise. Kittle had his swift, all right, but he couldn't get it over. He walked Wert after whiffing Pet erson, an jwild pitched Jim to second before walking Spaeter.. Then he walked Samhammer al-. so, to bring up Sinovic. Rappin' Richard Uked a high fast ball Kittle threw and slammed it against the boards for what could have been a double or triple, worth two or three runs had Uiey beeni needed. For the! first time In weeks. Manager Jack Wilson was able to field his regular lineup, although both Sinovic and Samhammer were still hobbling about on their had legs J . j.

The opening session.- booked for 7:38, will consist mainly of issuance of equipment and light calisthenics. Mort, facing his first season as Yik skipper as successor to Harold Hank, has scarcely over two weeks to install in his green squad the Intricacies of the T formation which he will introduce this year. The Salems open the eampaignagainst Vancouver, Wash, here Friday night, September 17. .With only six Iettermen back, the bulk of the big Vlk squad can be termed of unknown quality. Mort and Assistant Hank Juran must comb the big Vik squad to find replacements for the nine regulars of the '47 squad who have since graduated. Of the return ing mohogramers only Guard Fred Spronle and Halfback Deen Paulas were regulars last year.,. LaBell Takes Opening Nod Rene LaBell, certainly every bit . the sensation he was cracked up to be, last night took . two straight falls over Toughie Baldy Knox in . their armory mat main event, snd was purely on- the terrific side in doing same. Fast and tricky as a .cat and a drop kicker par excellence, LaBell used the; .kicks to subdue Knox in IS minutes in the opening fall, and then; came back in five min utes with a dandy leg nelson hdld foor the second. Naturally, the newcomer made a. smash hit with the large crowd. LaBell will tangle with Rowdy Rufus Jones in next week's main er, as Jones came through with a 2-of-3 falls nod over Mike Casey in ' their riotous prelim last night. It took cops-. Matchmaker Elton Owen and Referee George Poppenheim to keep the peace in Jones' mjx with Casey, as the negro was in a "hot" mood. A local ref. one George Lind, tried it' in the oDener. and perhaps for the last time. Res tock quite a beating, j j In the second match last night Tex Hager flattened Sal Flores in the only- fall in 30 minutes.

The double licking cut the Brooks margin over the Boston Braves to two percentage points as the Beantowners downed the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1, behind Red Barrett's seven-hit hurling. Hank Borowy was the nemesis of Brook lyn, stifling the Dodgers with one hit in the first game. He faced but 27 batters. Doyle Lade scattered nine Bum hits in the nightcap. The fast-coming Pittsburgh P i r a t e s pulled within two games of the top by stopping the slipping New York Giants, 5-4, the setback being the New Yorkers seventh in a row. Red Munger hurled St. Louis' Cards to a 5-0 win over the Phil adelphia Phils. In the equally close American league fight the Boston Red Sox held onto their one-game top place margin with an 8-4 victory over the -Detroit Tigers. The runnerup New York Yankees remained close behind by edging the St Louis Browns, 10-91 Cleveland was still one-half game back of the Yanks after rapping the Philadelphia Atheltics, 6-1, as Manager Lou Boudreau smacked a triple, dou ble and single.
