Plate Punch Nil as Braves
Push Locals Nearer Cellar
By Al LUhtner
. - . SUtMffltn Sports Editor.
The Salem Senators last night added two more laps to their drive
to overtake the Spokane Indians, current occupants of the Western
International league's booby bin, by flubbing both ends of the Waters
field double bill with Tri-City's Braves,, 4-0 and 4-2. It should be
dded, however, that the Wahoos had to go 12 innings in the second
struggle before our hitless, hapless and helpless heroes would uncle.
No, the 'double slapping down, didn't quite park the Salems in the
dungeon. They've, got one more game' to go before kerplunking Into
the berth in which no Salem team ever has dwelled this late in the
season. As it now stands the Spokanes are a single game behind the
lusterless locals, '
' For their week at home the Senators did manage to win one of
the seven games. They now head
, for Tacoma (more lumps coming)
for a series opener Tuesday night,
but while en; route sttop over to
night at Oregon City for, of -all
things, an exhibition game.
-Bullet" Joe Orrell, the old
timer whose srves have long lost
their swift, jammed the 4-0 shut
out at tie Solons in the opener.
On three hits, too. His victim was
luckless Bob Costello who can't
seem , to get any batting support
act all whenever he hurls.
Orrell's "nothing bail" and
that's about what it was had
io trouble whatsoever. Not with
the way his outfielding chums
Dick Faber and Jungle Jim War-
' ner were acting defensively. Fab
er took a cinch run-producing
double away from Gene Gaviglio
with a truly great jumping catch
. In the second frame, and then in
the fourth Warner made Faber's
effort look like an amateur's when
he made one of the most sensa
tional catches ever seen in the
4 parkron a wicked liner belted by
Bob Cherry to deep center.
Costello had but one bad inning,
the second. Awalk to Bud Peter
son, Nick Pesut's rifle shot single
to center and successive singles
by Neil Bryant and Faber cost
Rangy Robert two tallies and his
fifth setback.
The Braves got an unearned tal
ly in the fifth and then in the
sixth tagged Reliefer Johnny Tier
nejTlor the other.
The nightcap was of course the
trilleroo of the otherwise drab eve
ning. And youll find nary a one
of; the 1072 brave souls who saw
it (Who wont, swear this Senator
team is the most punchless ever
to pull on baseball gear, - J '-,
Lefty Ralph Lineberger, the 21-year-old
Homedale, Ida., lad mak
ing his first start for the residents
should have had his first victory
hands down. He checked the swat
happy Wahoos for 11 innings on
seven hits and thankfully enough
didn't absorb the loss when . the
Liskas finally went down. He cer
tainly didn't deserve it.
Another youngster rigtithand
ed sidearmer Joe Nicholas, opposed
"Lineberger and the two of them
. provided one of the more interest
ing sorties of the season. A bad
break cost Lineberger his two runs
in the fifth. Faber had touchecoring in the handicap, singles and
him for a single and had moved
to second on Nicholas sacrifice.
Al Spaeter drew a walk and Vic
: Buccola skied to Cherry for the
second out
Then' came the toughie for
Ralph. Warner slammed a torrid
liner into center that Cherry tried
desperately, to grab. But he
couldn't get to it and the ball
zoomed by him to go for a triple
for Warner and the two runs. .
Salem got one in the fourth on
Cherry's single and Bob Gold
stein's two-outs double, and then
the other in the fifth, also with two
outs as Al Drew singled,-' scooted
along on a passed ball and scored
on Bill Spaeter's tremendous
double - against the center field
. .wall. . . . .- ,.' ,.
- The Solons then proceeded to
land runners on the sacks in the
sixth (2), seventh (2), eighth (1),
ninth (1) and tenth (3), but left
them there, unanimously.
. The tenth was the real gruesome
frame. Mel Wasley scratched a
single, Bill Beard sacrificed, Gold-
stem walked and Wally Scott rip
ped a sfiarp single to center to
load 'em with one out Ludwig
Lew, who had driven out a pinch
' single In the first game, was called
upon to bat for Lineberger. But
this time Lefty Ludwig failed as
Nicholas struck him out. Al Drew
then bounced out to end the threat
and send a goodly share of the
gathering for the exits mumbling

Burke Wins Sioux City Open;
Snead Fades to 4th Place
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July SCKack Burke, Jr., the gaUery favor
ite, won the Sioux City open golf tournament today with a 268 total.
The little fellow who registers
strokes under par for the 72-hole
a 70, two under for the 0,506 yard
Elmwood course,
Skip Alexander, the Knoxville,
Term., professional, took over sec
ond place at 271.
Sam Snead, the top money win
ner along the PGA circuit, faded
in the stretch and had to accept
a four-way tie for third position.
Snead pulled up to within a stroke
of Burke at the end of the first
nine holes with a 33 but blew to
a 39, two over par, on the Inside.
Slamming Sam finished with a
72 and a 273 total. He was group
ed with Lloyd Mangrum, Niles,
111., Paul O'Leary, Bismarck, N.
D., and Fred Hawkins, 1 Paso,'
Texas. Alexander had a 70 for his
final round, good enough for sec
ond place and a $1,900 check.
Henry Ransom, St. Andrews,
111., was alone in the seventh spot
with 274, stroke in front of Chuck
Klein, San Antonio, and Ed (Por
ky) Oliver, Seattle. Each of the
latter picked up $650 prize money.
Burke's victory was worth $2,
600 and was his first triumph along
the PGA's summer tournament
trail. Last winter the 27-year-old
Houston, Texas, native won the
Harlingen, Tex, and St Peters
burg, JUl, opens.

the Mack family, the Philadelphia
reported interested in purcnasing
the Philadelphia American league
baseball club from the Mack-Shibe-
MacFarland interests.
The Inquirer story said:
- Connie Mack's two oldest sons,
Roy and Earle, have secured a
30-day option on the team, with
an additional 45 days of grace to
pay off the Shi be-MacFar land in
terest along with those of Mrs.
Mack and Connie Mack, Jr.
The option' carries a stipulation
that if Roy and Earle are not pre
pared to take possession at the time
of the final settlement then the
Shibe-MacFarland-Mack combin
ation will step into control.
It is possible that Earle, deposed
as assistant manager of the A's
after the team's first swing through
the .west this year, will return to
the bench when the Athletics re
turn from their current road trip.
The Inquirer quoted Connie
Mack as saying "I'm not in touch
with the situation, but if matters
are as I understand, Earle will
have his choice. My own idea was
that he could be of service in
handling our concessions, but if he
wants to come back to the bench,
It s up to him. Anything he wants
is all right with me.",
Terms of the deal giving Roy
and Earle control of the A's were
not revealed, the Inquirer said, but
earlier reports were that Connie,
jr and the heirs of the late Ben
jamin F. and Thomas Shi be want
S 1,800,000 for their Interests, with
the understanding they should
have the right to; re-purchase at
tne same price. 1
Transfer of the club stock will
mean a continuation of Connie
Mack as manager of the team, the
only manager the A's have ever
known and now in his BOth year
at the helm of the American league
team, the Inquirer said.
The newspaper quoted the 87-
year-old Mack as saying in Detroit
he plans to remain iq the game
"next year, the following year and
for many years to come."
