. i. From the looks of a compflatloll of oral, written and reported testi mony we have since breaking the Salem Senator blowup last week, and therein practically ruining a week's leave, incidentally, on thing is ouite obvious: Those who have either written or spoken their pieces on the situation and they are many indeed list as the big gest bugaboo of all the tieup with Portland. Or if you'd like it more plainly, the great majority of the fans who are steering clear of the Waters field premises ; when the ball club is "in town are convinced the future of the Senators as pop ular heroes here is Jeopardized so long as the club labors under the direction of the Portland Beaver officers. Which of course isn't good news for those officers. But at the same time they might be reminded they have no one to blame but themselves. Like any other business involving buying and selling, the customers Just won't buy if they don't like the product being sold. We have not only our own evidence of this down-with-Port- land feeling, but can muster more. The baseball broadcasting KOCO' " " " . b group can produce a sizeable batch of such protests also, sent tn by many of the many who deem a Senator play-by-play one ef their favorite radio programs. . Just what will come ef It all is being new processed M doubt. Portland will sell the local holding alright. If existing financial ar rangements can be made. Or she will pall the franchise and move It elsewhere as threatened. That threat part really busters Vs. It amounts to this: Just because the fans won't support a second division club and the policies by which It U operated, they are ta be penalized by losing the club Itself. . ' . J .... The fans are here alright, despite what the operators might think. They proved that both in 1946 and '47, one-hundred-thousand strong both years The Senators were first division those years, you'll recall, d had sbmething to sell. They also proved it one this seaon by turning out almost 4000 stronger a Spokane doubleheader into IKi wwen a "Razzberries to Mgr. Brillheart" gag. same worked up without any assistance from the club Itself. , Ownership by the Fans is One Answer Buy the club and be done with the Portland tieup? Easier said than done, as those who are now negotiating along those lines are perhaps discovering. But there is a way, ana a In fact, we understand a group of downtowners is contemplating a mass meeting to talk over the plan. The out we have ta mind Is nohting new. But It Is somewhat novel as well as practical. It concerns club ownership by the fans themselves. We have only to finger out the Billings, Mont., entry in the Class C Pioneer league for a good example. Money to .field and operate the Billings club was realized via the selling of stock last year. A president and other officers, including a board of directors were elected and the stockholders numbered into the hundreds. Even such gents as Bing Crosby, Ty Cobb, Mickey Cochrane, etc., were sold shares. Quite easily too, as like a lot of other people they enjoy seeing baseball blossom even in the smaller cities and towns. A tieup with, a major league club was made (Brooklyn Dodgers) and sound baseball men were hired to direct actual operations. Billings started out in last place last year, and finished there. But lo, almost 130,000 fans paid to watch the team play at home in spite of it, and the dividends on the stock were such that the holders in the very first season got back Just about every dollar they invested. We know this for sure, as pur brother-in-law happens to be one of thoes stockholders. Billing! Finds Home-Otrned Plan a Dandy This year the Billings club Is operating on velvet yett might ay. And what velvet! Instead of being In last place, the club has been on top since the opening game and get this la averaging around 4000 paid admissions for every home appear ance! The hundreds of club owners, plus plenty of their pals aro really patting that home-owned business venture over the top. ! n. .-.. un rniiU he emDloved here. It will take some work of course. But it can be done. And never have we heard of one of thee home-owned Ventures doing a floper. If handled by trie rjgnt men, who can secure the necessary affiliations foriplaying personnel, those who would invest in such a project might also tie into a pleasant urpri.ce. For all the necessary information on Just how the Billings layout functions, a club official from that city would no doubt enjoy a plane trip t Salem, expenses paid of course, during which he could talk to any conclave and answer questions. General Manager Bill Mulligan of the Portlands could attend the same pow-wow for that matter, and be quite Instrumental in any transacting that might occur. better Get to Geitin Pretty Quicklike ItYa cinch something should be done soon before the natives awaken some morn to find their ball club sporting a new name, like the Walla Walla Walruses, for Instance. Such is possible too. despite the fact that the present landlords caa't move Waters field. We've already been told that at the rate the Senators are losing money now It would be much cheaper to padlock the Joint and merely pay taxes on It rather than operate a ball club in It They aren't bluffing, girls. Bremerton Wins Legion Title; Steels Top Oilers, Take Lead Losers Protest Crucial 'C Go The Salem Steels took a mighty step toward possession of the Jun ior "Cleague title last night at dinger as they turned back the erstwhile pace-setting Kaiser Truax Oilers, 8-4, In a crucial fray whieh was played under pro test by the losers. The win, garnered oddly enough on but one hit, shot the Steelers one-half game above the Oilers who have finished their season with six wins, two losses. The Steels can sew up tha crown If they can get by the lowly FJf stroms next week in the finale this Is, if last night's Oiler protest is not upheld.

Following Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday engage ments With the Tars, in comes Tac oma for the four remaining games of the jweek. Although they have little chance of catching the fourth place Wen atchee; Chiefs, the Salems can at least soften up their second div ision perch with another good week against the Brems and Tigers. Either; Bob Drilling or Johnny Burakj will toe the pitching task for the locals tonight. Just who will do the Bremerton hurling is guess for probably Mgr. Alan Strange himself. Both Bremer ton and Tacoma have been forced to use just about everyone but their batboys as pitchers lately. , There aro but 14 more home gamesl left to go. The seven this week will be followed by a final week, against Wenatchee and Yak ima starting August 25. The Sen ators button up their Waters slate on Monday, August 29, and then finish; up play with a week on the road at Wenatchee and Yakima. Now nine games behind the Chiefs, the Salems could earn themselves a spot in the post-season playoffs If thej can go by Wenatchee in the remaining 26 games left to play.

Palmer needed only' 27 putts com pare a to a regulation 36. Demaret, the Ojai, Calif, fashion plate who willingly snapped up May's $100 to $20 wager on snar ing a birdie on the 16th and then lost, was never ahead even at the mutuels. Palmer made his run for the Tam Bonanza with rounds of 67- C9 69-70-68 343. This barrage, which includes today's playoff, re presents 17 strokes under par. De maret's chain was 69-68-71-67-70345.
