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.

Annual Spree
Salem Senator Boosters, ball

great hopes for the raw boned right

showing a "live" fast ball in his

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

ster who has been somewhat ter
rific In his recent Salem show-
Inrs. 8toJack will have a 19-
pound weight bulge over Tru
man. But the clever Andy can
more than make up for that with
his cat-like maneuvers and pet
"cartwheel" hold. When Truman
sets the cartwheel on his oppo
nents, big or little, they don't get
up. 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.

Braves, Macks Humbled; Rest
Of Clubs Slate Debuts Today
By Joe Reichler j '
NEW YORK, April 18-UP)-The major league baseball season got
off to an upset start today as the Philadelphia Phillies whipped the
National league champion Boston Braves 4-0, and the Washington
Senators set down the highly regarded Philadelphia Athletics 2-2.
Truman Lefty
On First Toss
WASHINGTON. April ls-OP)-Ambldextrous
President Truman
threw out the first ball, left
handed, and officially started the
1949 American League baseball
season today.
While the squads of the Wash
lngton Senators and the Philadel
phia Athletics stood by, ready to
try to catch the ball and they play
the season's opener, Mr. Truman
had his bit of fun.
He put on his hat, nnbottoned
his coat, took a tentative wlndup,
spit on the ball, and then let
'er go.
Washington Pitcher Sid Hud
son made the first error of the
season by over running the ball.
The "Nats' first baseman, Bill Ro
binson, got It.
