In fact, fhey couldn't find anything good about the guy, Including hit attitude. But Bob Brown, the .Connie Mack of minor league baseball; in the West openly opines that Sinovic (1) can hit often and hard, can (11 throw with any .outfielder in the circuit and (3) can ran like a thief.

Wasley Cracks f All TPIL MUilr r- Athletics Spear 9-6, 7-1 iV Dismal Dish By Al Ughtner Apparently left to plummet In to the dunteon by their Coast, lea gue elder, the Salem Senators seem to be en rdute to such fate, but fast. They , were whacked twice by he once-lowly Victoria Atheltics last night at Waters 'field, by scores of 9-6 and 7-1, and to day find .themselves, 6 games out of the first division ! and. worse still, a scant three tilts ahead of the last place Tacoma Tigers Just when it will end.

His nb- sence leave Manager Bill Beard with onlv six flingers, all of them already overworked land . facing nine games within he next six niehts. ! It was Bill Osborn and Gene Peterson in for the losses in the opening stand with the A's. Osborn was replaced by Jimmy Foster, who was succeeededlby Bob Dril ling in the opener. Peterson went the route in the njne-inning clash. and was touched fori.14 hits. It should be said inv defense of all. however, that errors in both games had as much to do with the enemy scoring as did the 24 hits. No more the sharp-fielding unit ft oncewas, thej inner defense yielded ' seven unearned runs in the twin Kill, four in the first game A downright poor, doubleheader crowd of onlv 732 paid showed up. which added to the evening's dreariness. About the only thing they got any kick out of at all. other than giving Marty Krug and Bob Hedington the usual ride, was Mel Wasley s 17th home run of the season in the first game. "Hambone" sent it from the pre mises in. the sixth inning with Bob Cherrv aboard and as the tower ing high fly left it took wth it the all-time Salem Senator record for home runs hit j in one season. Wasley's clout bettered the 16 made by Eddie Bjrr last season, which istood high; for all years Salem has had a club in the WIL. Wayne Peterson hit his ninth home run of the! season in the ninth inning also, but the Athletics were by then far ahead and com- Lfortable behind the sidearm fling- ing of Frank Logue. : Gene Peterson was battling a lost cause almost all the way the night cap, as he was' up against the top lefty in the league. Jim Propst. Only an error kept Propst and his buzzing fast Ditclaps from earning a shutout. He fanned seven and walked two. Logue struck out six and walked a pair in his game, Johnny Hack, with two hits in each game was! a major thorn, and Russ Walseth. with four hits, and Gil McDougald with three-in (the nightcap made it a threesome for the night. ; Only Wasley and Wayne Peter son were able to dent the Vic pitching noticeably.

Held to 3 Hits in Pavoff Mix FOREST GROVE, Aug. l-(Spe-cial)-Hillsboro's American Legion Junior baseball crew earned a State tourney berth here tonight as they downed the Salem Capitol Post club. 10-7, in the rubber game of their sectional playoff. Each team had previously taken a game in the playoff: set. . Impotency with the stick was a big factor in the Salem loss. The losers could collect ; but three blows off Pete Peterson and John Nierman over the route while the winners collected seven off Jim Rock who went all the way for the Salems. The Hillsboro outfit after being blanked in the initial two innings, went to, town in the third with three runs and addled another three in the fourth to pile up' an early lead on the Capital City team. The 'Boros manufactured their third inning spree on a, pair of errors and singles by Roghstrom and McKichan off Rock. The trio of tallies in the fourth were pro duced as Rock suffered a wild 'streak ' and walked three men. Roghstrom and LeBlanc then came through with opportune base knock? for the victors. The Salem gang finally broke the scoring ice in the top half of the fifth frameL with three mark ers of their own. Pete Peterson, who had held the Caprtol Posts well in check, gave a pair of free passes which were .converted in to runs when Bill Stewart came "through with a two base wallop. Stewart then tallied via a field ers choice. Nierman went to the rescue of Peterson during the up rising. Hillsboro picked up another tally ,in the bottom half of the fifth and put the game on ice with three more in the sixth, with McKiehan's two-run triple the key blow. . The Salems banged over their fourth' marker in the sixth via three free passes and a single 'by Roy Parsons and made a final and spirited bid in the seventh with a three-run - burst- Those final three counters came with out benefit of a single, hit. Three walks by Peterson (he gave nine in all during the fray plus a Hillsboro error did it.

' Iba Criticizes Basket Ruling BEAUMONT, Tex., Aug. 1 -(TV-Henry Iba, producer of; national champions, says basketball games next season' will be only 38 min utes long. He doesn't mean that literally but, observes that for all practi cal purposes the fans might just as well file out of the gyms when the last two minutes of a game are reached. Iba, whose Oklahoma A. and M. teams Jwice won the National Collegiate title f and who was named "coach of the year" last Winter, is here lecturing on bas ketball at the Texas coaching school. He took occasion to lash out at the new rule in the game that says if there's a foul in the last two minutes the team that is fouled not only gets to try for a free throw but also gets the ball out of bounds afterward.
