Vh Track dhh em' GresBiainni Heire Today Salem high's Viking thinclads will go for the win column again to day in an dinger field meet at three o'clock with the Oresham Goph ers, reputedly a strong track and field outfit Coach Vera Gilmore's troupe, after winning the Hill Relays and dual meets with Albany and Milwaukie, dropped the wuiamei- te Valley Invitational at spring field last Thursday night by two points. That was their only loos of the season. While the Gilmores are going against Gresham today, Coach Harold Hauk's baseball team will be at Milwaukie to play the Ma roon nine, at three o'clock also. The Vikings play the Oregon State .Rooks hero Wednesday af ternoon. The track team's next outing will be in the Hayward Relays at Eugene Friday.

The game will be played on the West Salem diamond. In league play thus far, Leslie's Rockets hold a win over West Salem and Parrish, coached by Clay Egleston, has a win over Leslie. Woodburn Tourney Set WOODBURN The first men' golf tournament at the Woodburn Golf course will be Sunday, April 24. All participating men are ask ed to be at the club house by 0 a.m. that morning to choose sides for the day's play. Directors of the club met Thursday night at the clubhouse with Clyde Smith, president, presiding, to determine playing policies for the season. Who'll hurl the opener for Salem at Tacoma Friday night? It'll bo either Bill Osborn, the tall and handsome winter acquisition from Grand Rapids, or Gene Peterson, the ex-Lindfielder who showed so much against his former school pards at McMinnville the other night. tor BILL (BULL) BRENNER was nothing short of terrific, even gainst the rah-rah type competition. He had control, a sizzling fast ball and a whopping curve. He looked better that night than we've seen him look In two seasons. Which had Beard feeling understand ably gay afterward. - ') So it will be one of those three at Tacoma Friday. And as it looks ow, they'll be the 1-2-3 men on the staff until further notice. Speaking of the WIL. here are a few notes we've plucked by hawkshawlng other papers: Bremerton has a 6-foot, 4-Inch and 235 pound outfielder on option from Oakland a white Luke Eas ter, you might say who is supposed to be able to hit 'em a mile . . . Garth Ford, the so-so flinger with Yakima's lowlies last sum mer was released, signed by the Detroit Tigers and! Is now with their Toledo Triple-A farm club . . . Bud Sheeley couldn't get to gether with Spokane on 1949 pay, so was released outright. Where cpon he up and signed with the already well loaded Vancouver Caps. Brother, will they be tough this time! ... Portland V a Fly in the Sprijtg Ointment i Guess our town Senators had best forget all about booking those Portland U ballgamers each spring, particularly ' here at home. It's getting rather embarrassing, those lickings by the rah-rah boys. They did it in 1946, again in 1947 'and again Sunday afternoon, every time with enough customers in the stands to make things, uncomfortable. Of course the beating means nothing other than a chance for a few of t' ; wolves to begin their barking early. But we've maintained ever Since 1942, when we found out the hard way by taking a 1-0 licking by Willamette three days before the season opened, that the Senators shouldn't play a single game of any kind here at horns until the WIL ell rings. You gain nothing, lose a lot . . . Here's your umpiring staff for the WIL summer, says Loop Boss Bob AbeL and lined up la these pairs: Joha Neneslch-Tlm Mc Cullough. Jerry Matbieu-Jobn Young, Max Skullk'Roeee Flam mis and BUI Husband-Bus Blgham, Nenesich. Mathieu. Skulik and Husband are holdovers of course. McCulloogh Is the basketball official. Young and Flammla are Class D grads and Big ham, who baa been working most of the Senators' spring games with Lea Yoanee. Is oae of the leading- prep athletic officials la Oregon. We might add that Blgham plucked himself a long summer, for Hus band bad some woeful ventures la the circuit last year . . Brenner Vancouver the Team to Beat After taking a peek at what the other league writers have been lin ing up as favorites in the 1949 race, we're not alpne in picking Van couver's loaded Caps as the team to beat. Nearly every one of 'em Eegs Bill Brenner's crew, and if Bill the Bull can get his pocketful of oldovers to hustle all the way for him he should easily spear the pen- Eant . . . How will the rest finish? Here's a concensus' of the opinions y most WIL baseball writers: 1 Vancouver. 2 Tacoma. 3 Victoria. 41 Yakima. S Wenatchee. 6 Bremerton. 7 Salem. 8 Spokane. In other words, they don't think too much of our Townies, wot? Other than for a solid Tote for Vancouver as potential cham pion, we hesitate to make with predictions, as most of the WIL clubs starting oat this week won't be the same la another month r so. Too many changes will be made la lineups. : But we're no less siUy than the next guy, so here's our eight choices, la order. 1 Vancouver. 2 Wenatchee. 2 Yakima. 4 Victoria. 5 Brem : erton. C Salem. 7 Tacoma. S Spokane. As for that No. f spot, i girls. It could sed weight If Mgr. Beard gets the kelp he's after. uiry Boosters Hold Annual Spree Salem Senator Boosters, ball players and officer!, assorted song sters and spielers, and all of them hungry, last night waded into the annual pre-season spree in the lobby of Waters field. Approxi mately 250 were on hand to oat, drink and make with the pro Western International league chat ter. Down from Portland to help with the pitching were Manager Bill Sweeney and Gen. Mgr. Bill Mulligan. Both spoke briefly. So did Manager Bill Beard and Bus. Mgr. George Emigh of the Sena tors. Al Loucks. vice president of the Salem Breakfast club acted as master of ceremonies, and other Booster organization members who spoke were Past-president Ira Pilcher and Publicist Chuck Bar clay. Ail hands left primed to make the Senators' home opener April 29 a Jam-packed success. COUNTY LEAGUERS FLAT The Marion County B league baseball schedule ;for today has Turner playing at Gervais, Che mawa at North Marion, Aumsville at Sublimity and St. Paul at Jef ferson. MARION-FOLKS FLAT Marion - Polk league baseball plaj for today, according to the schedule, has Monmouth at Salem Bible academy, Independence at Philomath and Stayton'at Sacred Heart Academy, all In the after noon Big John Bianco, the do-or-die from the Portland varsity who has been showing every Indication late ly that it will be "do" for Mgr. Bill Beard's crew. Beard will dole out the assignment in midweek. He was tell ing us that he'd like to work Bianco just once during the first week on the road so that he could open up the local season: with him here Ap ril 29. In other words. Beard has great hopes for the raw boned right hander. As for Osborn, he has been showing a "live" fast ball in his spring tuneups. Bill doesn't have too much of a curve, but his fast one has a tendency to sink. And sinking fast balls are dandy pitching wea- !pons if used by someone who knows how to pitch. Osborn knows how. Peterson at Linfield'the other night Good Scores in PITA Shoot The seventy-five shotgvnners who climaxed the second day firing la the Salem Trap hooters club FITA registered sessloa Sunday had the satisfaction of carding much better than average scores la the day's three major events.

The same might bo said for S to jack's giant - whirl airplane spin, one of the best In the busi ness. Three prelims are on the menu also. Instead of the usual two. In the opener squat and mean new comer Tony Falettl goes against Sugl Hyamakl. That one is at 9:30 o'clock. Then Bill Sledge tackles Bill (Bull) Wefdner. Af ter that one Tex Tager tries Iron Mike Nazerian, a real toughie. AH throe prelims loom as better than average. And to make It a complete all-star show. Harry Elliott will do the refereeing. Monday afternoon shellacked tne Oregon College of Education Wolves, 14-0, at Monmouth in seven innings. For their pre league gamea the Solons won sev en, lost three. Bus Sporer and Ray McNulty took good pitching care of the Wolves Monday, checking them to a lone single, a bouncer over sec ond base in the sixth inning by Outfielder Jim Wilson, off Mc Nulty. Meanwhile, the Salems bashed out IS blows off Hank Decker, Bob Funk and Claude Buckley. Only Buckley of the three was effective. Seven OCE boots didn't help the flingers. Although a trifle wild, Sporer had fine stuff in his four frames and looked every bit like the win ning pitched he could be if his control only holds up. He fanned four, McNulty three. Hill Beeson, with three hits, led the Salems at bat. In their Sunday afternoon ven ture, the Senators picked the wrong day to blossom forth before the home folks. They kicked in four errors, looked impotent at bat against Portland U's Rod Owens and got spotty pitching to go down before the collegians. Glenn Miller, Bill Osborn and Clyde DeWitt, in that order, did the pitching. They gave 10 hits and eight bases on balls. The Solons could capture only eight hits, and exactly one, Jimmy Wert's towering triple against the right-center field fence in the eighth, was for extra bases. That wallop, followed by Mel Wasley's line-out to center tied the score at 6-6 for Salem. But Coach Mush Torson's Portlanders came right back in the ninth to tally off De Witt and take the game. Wert was the only Senator to get more than a single blow. The Solon pitching had no mys tery for Hal McKee, Pilot second sacker from Woodburn. He had a double, three singles and a walk in five trips. Although they bobbled four times afield, the Senators com mitted a couplebther mental mis cues also. It just wasn't one of their better days in their grape fruit campaigning, much to the dismay of the 250 patrons who turned out to see it. Now no longer an outfielder, which is okeh by him, Big Jim Olson has been returned to the pitching mound, where he won 17 times for the Salems last season. Olson's outfielding was but an ex periment and Mgr. Beard can now feel that he has another winning flinger on his staff . . . Also, Infielder Doug Stevenson, the Ta coma hockey player, and Catcher Frank Jarvis, former Linfielder have been released to Klamath Falls outright.
