10 The Slcctinan 'Salem. QVecjon. Tuesday ScpL To most folks hereabouts, the name James Mosolf, new mana ger of the Salem Sears-Roebuck emporium, is assigned to some guy brought in to take over the S-R store in place of Gene Vande neynde. And they leave it lay right there. But to a few who are up on their sports, the name has a familiar ring. The same Jim Mosolf from 1929 through 1932 was an outfielder, and .a good one, with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1933 he was with the Chicago Cubs. And later on Dallas of the Texas Leamie sold the same Jim Mosolf to Portland, but he wouldn't report and instead went into business in 1937. That buri- V JIM MOSOLF ness has brought Jim to Salem as another of its many new resi- j dents. 0' " This isn't meant to be a history on our new native. But there is a snappy yarn in which the gent is involved, as told byjjack Wil--son. At the end of the major league seasons, a group of the big show stars, including Mosolf, Wil son and Boston Red Sox Outfielder-slugger Roy Johnson, were barnstorming across the country. They booked a game in Tacoma and, as he had begged and pleaded with all hands en route. Outfielder Johnson was to pitch against Mo solf and the National leaguers. Now it has alwavs been the ambi tion of every infie'der or outfield er to one day ttke the mound. They just know they are pitching diamonds in the rou?h, so to speak. So that day in Tacoma was John son's, as a hurler. Roy made 12 pitches to start with and had the bases loaded. He had walked the first three bat ters without once getting over a strike. Up care Mosolf. He bopped Johnson's firt serve, for a grand-slam home run. Upon which Johnson was shorn of both his toe plate-.ar"i desire to climb the little hill in the middle of the diamond.

He wrote a col limn, two other stories, made up the page and took over in general And as would be expected, the total effort was A-l particularly his cracks concerning his own Pittsburgh Pirates and Bob Hope's Cleveland Indians. . . . From the looks of their roster the OSC Rooks speared the cream of the 1947 prep players around the state. But not all of it, after peeping at a simi lar roster coming in from Eugene. The Duck yearlings, under Bill Bowerman this year, will have such prominents as End Chuck Bufaro of Portland's Commerce Hi, Fullback Chuck Missfeldt of Milwaukie. Scatback Tommy Ed wards of Klamath Falls, Halfback Emile Holeman of Pendleton and, even more interesting. Tackle' Bob Craig of Salem and Halfback Bob Funk of Salem Academy. Also noted In the lineup are the names of a dozen or more sharpies from such whisle stops as Los Angeles and San Francisco. ... Coe on Record BuMting Joel Coe, a bearcat on verr thing bowling when It concerns doings at Capitol alleys, asks that we help in answering a number of questions that has hit the ten-pin drome since Ere Kay unbuttoned his 287 game the other night. The big question has been: Is that the best that has ever been rolled here? To which the statistically minded Coe answers an emphatic no.w Sure, there have been those who have topped" Kay's mark considerably, with as much as "300" perfect scores. But only two bowlers have ever beat It in league play, the play that counts. Back in 1939 one Ken Wolf uncorked a 289 which still stands high for league competition (Wolf had a scant 150 average at the time, in cidentally). And Ed McClusky, one of the Capitol vets, has a 288 to his credit. VO Favored It Sez Here The U of Michigan athletic news bureau has been kind enough to supply us for weeks with football infor on the Wolverines, most of which concerns how downright feared same Wolverines are of their chances to beat Oregon Sat urday at Ann Arbor. Which is or Isn't so much hooey. After last week's Webfoot scare at Stan ford, Wolverine confidence should be at a new high for 1948. At any rate, one Item noted in par ticular in the releases is the fact that Coach Benny Oosterban Is only the 11th coach the Michigans have had since way back in 1870.
