Moses Smacks Our Senatbrs NbtSo Bad Off After AIT .1 M6m Locals Expect Tough Series Rock or Walker Will Hurl in Waters Tilt Just a step from the door to the goal they set out to reach In the " beginning, Salem's Capitol Post American Legion junior baseball An added attraction to tonight's Legion contest will be an appear ance of the Capitol post No. t dram corps In fall regalia. They'll pat on a performance starting at 7: JO. lads tonight open their final pre state tourney series with the Hills boro Juniors at Waters field. Game time is 8 p. m. and a victory for Coach Bill Hanauska's already win-happy team will send it to Hillsboro Friday night for the sec ond game and a chance to clinch a tournament berth. The battle with the Hillsboros will go through three games if necessary. Hanauska pegs the Boros as touch, as because of the mallness of that city in size it has been oermitted to recruit play era from other villages in that area. In Lefthander Nierman and Righthander Peterson the Hills boros have two of the most prom ising Legion pitchers in the North western section of the state. Hanauska last night had not de cided just who would open on the mound for his squad. It will be either Jim Rock or Sonny Walker for sure, however. Elsewhere the C-P's will line up with Stewart, cf; Jacobsen, 2b; Sloan, 3b: Jones, c; Parson, ss: Haugen, lb; Nelson, If; Largent, rf. Should the Salems come through In the series with Hillsboro, they will qualify as a state tournament entry at Albany, marking the first time a Salem Legion team has made the tourney grade since 1944. Some will say that the PGA boys were bound to figure one thtnr or another to get Bobby Locke off the American links considering the regularity with which he was embarrassing the home boys by the winning of titles and American dollars In profusion. . . . But the PGA's rharres. which broucht about Bobby's ban from PGA-spon-aored meet, don't appear un founded. And so we're all bound to look oueerly at this South African links magician who ha apparently blacklisted himself from the only country where a professional golfer can find really lucrative pickings. . . .

But there are some fans and oftentimes they are REAL fans whose only recourse Is to follow sports doings over the radio. They're the shut-ins, the people with lingering physical ailments. Perhaps they haven't at radio to follow the Senators, perhaps they're short on other needs.

I! Frick was annoyed" about yesterday's Brpoklyn-St Louis tie that was called at the end of nine innings and two hours before train time. The clubs neglected to inform Frick about the 3:00 pjn. dead line. ' !. 7 ; "I am writing letters to both clubs," Frick said today, telling them to notify me when they plan any time limit games. There are no league rules to govern such a situation except that the game must be started three and a half hours before the train leaves. They did that all right There is no rule saying when you must stop the game to make your train connection. "We used to have a league rule on games that were stopped before a decision had been reached. We'd re-start them at the exact Elnt where play was stopped. They called them suspended games, ut the clubs didn't like the rule and voted it! out of the book."
