Thjen Lillie takes his team to Whitman on May 14. The , mm m i , - ii Mid-week meanderings: So sorry you missed the opener In Portland Tuesday. You also missed (1)- seeing quite a ballgamer in action in this Luke Easter, already the Black Bambino of the Coast league (what power he nasi), (2) seeing Harvey Storey get a grand ovation when Introduced in his new San Diego suit and (3) hear ing Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee get an unrestrained and im pressively long boo blast the likes of which she certainly hopes never to hear again when she got up to lane ner dow. Tuning m on that welcome was worth the price of admission alone. We hannripW in f be sitting directly behind former m -b-i t:i i . t. i ; n;ui uu xuiejr wneii uie uooing 1 began, and had the noise not been so loud we're sure we could have heard him eject a gleeful "Hah!" That is, if he weren't pitching with the razz berries himself ... Re Mr. Easter, whoso speed and nimble ness afoot for a 240-pounder are as awesome as the way he puts a charge into -a pitched baseball, he alone should bo worth nothing but gold at the gat to any ball -yard in which he'll be playing. Already we've talked to a bus load who want to go to Portland not to see the Bevos lose another, or to see Mgr. Bucky Harris & Co.. but to see Big Luke at bat. He'll show you something too, friend . . . Speaking of batting power, that wallop parked in the center field bleachers at Portland Sunday by Bob Cherry of the town Senators is encouraging indeed. It proved that no ball park in the WIL, including ur own Waters arena uill be able to hold Big Bob's top serves. Cherry is big enough alright. He stands well over six feet and carries 200 pounds. The home run has never been one of Bobs main fortes In pro ball, but he showed Sunday that he is capable of hitting one. down town now and then. Such power is a welcome item on the local nine indeed ... HcCinnis Back at Silver Ion and Loaded Up Fair warning to all State league ball clubs: Bill McGinnis is back at Silverton after sojourning In southern California, and has lined up quite a team. Those who will recall Bill's prewar baseball efforts at Silverton need not be reminded of how tough he can be on the opposition . . . Jerry Lillie stands to have one of the better cinder tracks in the state on the new WU Bush pasture field when completed. Keal cinders, purchased from the union Pacific railroad are being pressed in, and the Jumping pits are taking shape. Jerry hopes to inaugurate the oval when Pacific comes in for a dual session May 23 . . . Come to think f It, when will the WU's bang a name on thai place? Surely they don't want to have everyone going along calling It "Bush Pasture" . . . Bad news comes in this communique from Pen ticton. B. C. where the Vancouver Caps are training. It says Bob CosteUo's pitching arm, according to himself, "is in much better shape than It was in 1947 when be wen 21 games for Spokane." ; Rapid Robert, and he Is that when right, labored with an ailing flipper last, season and wound up winning only 14 games. Also, not content with having Costello, Bob Snyder, Jim Hedgecoek. Carl Gunnarson, Hunk Anderson and Larry Manier for a staff. Caps Mgr. Bill Brenner has picked ap George Nicholas, who won If times for Tacoma la 1S4S. Ouch! ... Mae Wilson Mixed Up in Don Johnson Deal The reason why Don Johnson was sent to the Sacramentos and not the Portlands by the Yankees lies in the fact that same Yankees are vitally interested in the slugging Bill Wilson, homer-hitting Wenatchee of last season who now plays regularly lor the Sacs. Tis also the reason why the same Sacs have sent playing help to Denver of the Yankee chain . . . Don't know whether the Messrs. Aiken and Bower-man used a Royal Coachman or a Blue Caddis, but Compton JC'er Bill Fell is supposedly headed for the U of Oregon. Fell was a halfback terrific for the Little Rose Bowl champs and is a sprinter who does better than 10 seconds in the century. If he does go to Oregon ,he won't be the first athlete sent to; the Webfoots by our old Alma Mater. There was also one Buck Brry, a footballer, and Vic Townsend, a basketballer, and Mack Robinson, a trackman. Remember? Mack is the older brother of Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson, incidentally ...

Crosby died six years ago. Boxing was illegal In that day, and they sneaked away from the St. Louis police, who had stepped in twice when the contest was about to be staged here. They "sneaked" as much as a special train could sneak, for it was a spe cial that carried a crowd of some 300 devotees, with tickets in hand, to a cold picnic grove at Nameoki. Winner and lostr spent two weeks In bed and 11 months in jail. The fight lasted five hours and five minutes, through rain, snow and sleet, and ended by the light of election-night torches and the special's locomotive headlight. It is in the books as the longest knockout battle fought with gloves, under the Queensberry rules. The record books do not take note of one of the most re markable facts about that remark able fight for the last 12 rounds or so there was no referee. He didn't last.

MOLALLA SLATES RANGERS MOLALLA, April 13 -(Special) Coach Budd GronquUt's Molalla Indians trackmen will go to Es tacada Thursday for a dual meet with the Rangers. Gronquist pins most of his point hopes on Jumper Grant Schiewe and Runners Les Reisch and Geerge Kirk and high jumper Len Saudinger. will bo Salem Beard used Bill Osborn and Gene Peterson at Forest Grove Wednesday, and although Pete was considerably wild in hie four inning stint, both combined to hold the Badgers to seven hits. Salem collected 10 off two PU lingers. Including three-baggers by Wayne Peterson and Bob Courage in a three-run second inning. Other than those blows, however, the Salem plate punch wasn't too sharp. .A number of Salem bingles were on the not-well-hit side. The Senators went scoreless af ter the second until the seventh, when five hits and three Pacific boots brough across five runs. Bud Peterson and Hill Beeson. both with a pair of hits led the Solons at the plate. Osborn in his five innings look ed good. He fanned four and walked only one. He gave up a run in the fourth when Outfielder Dick Morgan cracked a double to left and romped in on Catcher Bob Morrison's line single to center. The smooth-working Osborn al lowed only one other hit in the five heats he toiled. Peterson's wildness had him in a jam most of the time. In all but the eighth inning, when the Badg ers scored their other run, Pete managed to hurl his way out of trouble, however. Bob Cherry was out of the line up, and may be for a short time. Ho has an infected tonsil, which probably will bo taken out this week. Wee Wayne Peterson played only part-time also, as he twisted an ankle sliding into second base in the seventh Inning and was taken out of the lineup. The In jury isn't serious, for which Beard is indeed thankful. Although Way ne is normally a second-sacker, it appears ho will be the Salem third baseman until another comes along.

That would be Orestes Minoso, the 24-year-old Cuban Negro flash who waa the sensation of the western training camps.
