What help does Mgr. BUI Beard seek for his Senators nine as it
stands by to embark en the WtL jaunt? Brieflr, another outfielder,
another infielder (preferably a third baseman) and another pitcher
or two which would be stamped "certain winner" for this league.
ninnri RiH isn't aatUfUd with the
right field spot, now held by the
young Hill Beeeon. A strong lad who
can hit a ball a fr piece when he
tier into it, Beeeon may need an
other season of lower elass play. Big

Gedzius trade, has refused to report. MEL WASLEY
So that left Beard with no alternative other than to put Peterson at
third, out of position. Hockey player Doug Stevenson wasn't ready for
Class B ball, so off to Klamath Palls he went. Just where the badly
needed infielder will come from is a question. But the management Is
trying to collar one.
The other side of the infield, first base, will be occupied by Jimmy
Wert until and if the time eomes jthat Portland sends down Marty
Xrug. Should Marty be sent down, he and Jim will have to argue it
out.
Big lf 1$ Cloud Ovr Pitching Staff
As we've mentioned before, a full grown "if hangs over Beard's
hill staff. If Johnny Bunco's arm is okeh and he euts loose, there is
one sure-fire winner.- If Bus Sporer can get the ball over the plate
consistently, there's another. Bill Osborn has yet to prove himself a
winner, but Beard believes he has the necessary stuff. Ditto Gene Pe
terson. Olson as a pitcher was a rather fortunate cuss in spearing a
number of his 17 victories last semester. If he ean remember, the com
bination, niee things can be expected from him again. Ray McNulty
helped as a reliefer for Jack Wilson last season. And, since Ray has
played considerable as an infielder, he's automatically the club's fen-
Jral all-around handyman right now. As for Lefties Glenn Miller and
ack Ferluga and Righthanders Clyde DeWitt, Irv Whitt and Jimmy
Foster, none ean be depended upon to win and must show their poten
tialities when called. If one or two happen to blossom forth as an un
expected phenom, so much the better. A couple of hard-throwing gents
porting that label would be indeed welcome, however
Five Po$ition$ Appear Well Settled
The catching, second base, shortstop, left and center field slots
are set Beard and Bob Ce orate shonld ae ekeh. Bad Peterson and
AI Spaeter will have few peers under any elrenmstanees In this
leane. Mel Waaley la a good fielder and ahenld hit a basketful.
Bob Cherry Is another goed glove aman and anticipates bis best
season in pro balL It will be np to those two to chauffeur of the
Senator runs.
It misht be figured that Eddie Barr, one of seven outfielders on the
Portland varsity, will be sent back. We're afraid not. Ed was in town
early this week and when we asked him if -he would come back, he
uncorked an emphatic "no." Barr figures he has served his full ap
prenticeship in Class B circles. He did add that both Hal Saltzman the
pitcher and Cal Mclrvin the pitcher-outfielder probably would come
back if sent, and that Mclrvin wants to have a full-fledged at playing
the outfield. No "complaints there.

houses? If soMt Intoueh with the Waters field office pronto, as
the Senator players need 'ecu. Beard, Bianco. Cherry, Osborn and
many of the others, plus their families, are on the looking list . . .

he'll be sent to New Orleans of the Southern Association. And

Yakima's nwly named Bears, an
outfit in unknown quality and
Juantity, plays at Victoria. On

missions to the eight ball yards.
Rooks Defeat
Vikings, 3-1
Salem high's beseballers bowed
to Oregon State's Rooks, 3-1. on
the Waters lot Wednesday after
noon but the locals can feel lucky
the score against 'em wasn't much
higher.
The Viks committed eight er
rors during the fray and that plus
the four-hit pitching of the Rooks'
Jack Jennings left 'em behind the
eight-ball.
The Rooks opened the scoring
in the fourth with two runs pro
duced on a single by ex-Vik Ci
Houck. King's triple and a couple
of errors.
Salem tallied its only marker In
the fourth as Catcher Gene Jones
singled home Keith Farnam who
got on the sacks after being hit by
a pitch. An error and Taylor's bin
gle manufactured the Rooks' final
tally in the fifth.
Gene Garver drew the mound
loss for the Viks, giving up all
three runs though only one was
earned. Jim Rock replaced him in
the fifth. The Viks travel to Cor
vallis Friday for a Big Six fray.
