iff n i ?! (mm unni I 1 1 Tigers Sweep 7-5. 7-2 Tilts Salems Open Series In Spokaiie Tonight ' Br Al Lightner Statesman SporU Editor , Tis a good thing for the Yakima- Bears that Tacoma's Tigers r' nlav all their games in trafr fipM. Were it thus ar toniMl this season. Tacoma and rot Yakima would be leading the Western International league der by. Said Tigers, extending their whammy over the now thoroughly sunken Senators, last night mop ped up both ends of the double header by scores of 7-5 and 7-2, tMroin u7Mnintf the four-game series and making it eight straight times Manager Bob Johnsons crew dumped the Townies here at home. . , Not at"all bad for a last, place club, and certainly not at all good for one that up until Tacoma came in Friday night looked as If it might be well on the way toward ifth niar in the standings. The four-game snatch pulled Salem down to within a scant 2Vi games of the dungeon and an even 20 games below the .500 mark. The club took off for Spokane right after last night's thrashing and tonight open a short stand with the Indians. Back they come Thursday night to take on Wer atchee and Yakima in the fin?? home series of the season. All through playing Tacoma for the season, Salem managed nine victories to IS losses with the Tiges. Oddly enough, the Solons won six games to Tacoma's five In the latter's home park. The final count was 3-won, 8-lost here at home. About the only thing the Sen ators managed to accomplish in the duet of last night was four double plays and the formula for keeping Rousing Richard Greco's big bat silenced. Greco got but one hit. an infield scratcher. On five of his other jaunts to the dish he was walked, bringing the total of free tickets for him to 10 for the four games played. At that he wound ud hitting an even .500 with four hits in eight official trips. But where Greco played second fiddle last night, Eddie Barr took full command in his place. Well known around the premises after playing here last year and the one before, Ol' Fleetfoot bopped out six hits in nine tries off the slants of Jim Olsen, Cal Mclrvin and Stu Fredericks, and for his scries had -for-16 and a .563 mark. How the "ex's" do come back to haunt us one way or another. Olsen had the misfortune of dropping his game in one extra frame In the opener. Big Jim potted the Tiges a 5-0 lead- in the first inning, and then he and his mates bit back at Lefty Bob Ker rigan for two runs in the third and three in the fourth to tie it up. It stayed that . way until the eighth when Tacoma started out on Barr's single with one out. An ensuing error and a pinch single by Mgr. Johnson produced one run, and then it was anotner er ror and a fielder's choice for the other tally and the ball game. The Senators could do little with Kerrigan in all but the third and fourth, when seven hits pro duced the five Salem runs. Al together there were nine hits off Kerrigan and 10 off Olie. After Jim's bad start in the fjrst four hits and two walks here he hurled four-hit ball until the fatal eighth. Mclrvin suffered practically the same fate, a bad first inning. The Tiges got to him for three runs on four hit and a walk to start out with, and then added loners In the fifth and sixth, and a brace in the seventh. Meanwhile there was no run producing for the likeable lefty. The locals couldn't solve Right hander Don Carter's serves worth a hoot when it was necessary for hit to produce a run. There were potential tallies aboard In five of the first eight innings, but either a sharp fielding play by the enemy, particularly Barr In center field, or a pop-up would leave them there. It was In the bottom of the ninth that Salem finally scored off Carter. With one out Bill Burgher singled . and Orrin Snyder hit a long double to center. In came Claude Buckley as a pinch hitter with two out and he banged a single to left for both nine. Tacoma fielding gem pulled Kerrigan out of bad spot In the first game also. Third-sacker Joe Kaney was the culprit In this one, on three different occasion . . . ' OUen's loss was his 11th, against 10 wins. For Cal, It was loss No. 4, against 7 victories . . . Bob Dril ling goes postward at Spokane to night . . . The four "dee-pees' brought Salem's seasonal total to 143 . . . Manager Bill Beard tried two lineup shift In the duet, but there just seemed to be no beating the Tacoma Jinx ... TWO AND TWXNTY AGAIN SEATTLE.

Neilson booked the fish with a large spinner and battled it for almost an hour before hauling it aboard. (See story below). Lebanon Man Lands Shark LEBANON This is the tale of a big fish that didn't get away! After waiting 15 years. Dale Neilson, co-owner of the Santiam Sporting Goods and Appliances, landed his first big fish, a six-foot- three-inch' blue shark off the Oregon coast near Taft last week. Neilson and a party -t'. seven other Lebanon and L a c o m b sportsmen were fishing from the Tradeswinds Troller "Fish-On," out of Depoe Bay. The craft was anchored a half-mile off shore. The party, including J. C. Raines of Lacomb, was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Baird, Lloyd and Harold Fitzgerald, and Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Grenz, and Neilson. During the morning the party boated 13 salmon, 14 sea bass, and a ling cod. Shortly after noon the fishing craft developed battery trouble' and idled in the water. Anchors were dropped to keep it from drifting while the skipper radioed for another battery. While waiting, Neilson spotted the shark about 50 yards off the stern of the craft. Rigging up a jig he attempted to attract the big shark's attenion. Failing in this, he rigged up a large spinner which the shark struck on its .first pass through the wafer. The battle lasted nearly an hour with Neil son using only 200 yards of 72 pounds test line in fighting the monster. Officials of the Trollers report ed the shark to be the largest on caught along this section of the Oregon coast in three years.

August 22. 1949 Dnjured Iftnee Delays Mogan's (Golf Plans FORT WORTH, Tex Aug. 2I4-A torn knee cartilage one that eventually will require an operation probably willf urther delay Ben Hogan's return to competitive golf. The condition, which Hogan suspected and Dr. Alton Oschner con firmed during a New Orleans checkup last week, is another of the minor ailment that have de veloped in the wake of the little golfer's near-fatal automobile ac cident last February 2, that hos pitalized him for 59 days. Hogan has expressed hope that he might begin swinging his clubs within a year from the date of the accident, but the torn cartilage will bring another setback. Hogan is sticking to his plans of returning to big league golf and he's philosophical about de lays, even though they may mean more surgery in the future. "I don't worry much about it" Hogan says. "I'm luck to be here at all." Hogan has never handled any club other than a putter since the accident and he won't try until Dr. Oschner approves. Last week Oschner told Ben to stay away from golf until he re turns for another checkup three months hence.
