Match 1 U 1851 . , r MB They've not reached the point of stampeding or staging a down town demonstration, but it seems that many of the baseball minded natives are wondering how come the shyness of news on the town Senators of late. The appearance of spring camp doings by the majors and Coast leaguers, plus the fact that said natives now own their own ball club here, is unquestionably the reason for the query. : .But let us '.not. be impatient. Actually it isn't yet time for a load ' of ' news on the club. Must - re ' member - that even though the majors and PCL'ers are now hard at tuning Tip chores, most of the smaller outfits haven't yet signed their rosters for- 1951. Spring training. for them doesn't start un til the end of the month or .the first part of April. In the case of our local dandies, as Sportscaster Bruce Williams dubs 'em, they'll not swarm into Napa, CaL, until March 31. Some folks feel that inasmuch as not too much news on the Senators has hit the papers in re cent days, there can't be too many players on the roster to write about Tain't so. Actually the Solons have 15 men now in the process of being signed, or wait ing for March 31 after having already signed. And there is certain to be many more by the time Gen. at NaDa. Just sive him time. Taking the 15 one by one, Luby himself is all set to play second base. George McDonald has signed and is the first sacker. Johnny Hack, purchased from Victoria, has reported that he will be present t Napa to take the third base jobi Glenn Tuckett, secured from Salt Lake City in the Bob Cherry deal, could be the shortstop if Luby doesn't come up with a better one. Wally Yonamine, also in on fine Cherry swap,' is one of the outfielders and although ne nasn't fyet signed, the club expects no trouble getting Mel (Hambone) Wasley into the fold. This would leave one hole in the outer garden, and the club does have title to Ludwig Lew, Bill Spaeter, Pete Tedeschi and Hal Zurcher, every one of whom have been sent contracts. Then too, there is Bob Goldstein the first baseman who played for the club - last season. He has been contacted also.

Yates The Salem Vikines and the Silverton emerged from last night's play at the Viking Villa as the only undefeated teams; in this year's District Eleven tourn ament. Silverton trounced the game, but outclassed North Mar ion Huskies. 62 to 35. while the Viks closed out the evening's en tertainment for a screaming crowd of rooters with a 54 to 32 defeat of Stayton's Eagles. sH - Monday night the Foxes will mix it up with Salem in the $ :15 p.m. game, following the Sacred Heart Academy vs. Mount Angel tussle at 7:00. The tournament is being played on a double elimina tion basis, so last night's losers still stand a chance to gain the finals. The Eagles and Huskies are slated to meet on Tuesday night. All tournament action is sched uled for the Salem high floor. .In last night's opener the Hus kies were no match for the taller Silverton squad. North Marion held but one lead in the entire contest, 4 to 2. ..(! Gary Gustafson started the Foxes off with a bang as he drove in for a layup after taking the opening tipoff, but the North Marions were bothered not a ' bit and went right to work. Ron Bar endse rang true on a left handed pivot shot, and a' few moments later Bill McClarin pushed home a rebound, and the crowd favor ite Huskies were in the lead. Silverton was not to be denied, however, and with Gustafson again scoring, the count was tied at four all. Then, with big Jim Cooper leading the way the Foxes forged into a 13 to 6 lead at the end of the first quarter. By the end of the half Coach Milt Baum's squad had upped their margin to 15 points at 31 to 16, and for the rest of the encounter they pretty well maintained their 2 to 1 ad vantage. Cooper was a ball of fire, both on the boards and in the scoring column. Big Jim poured home 27 points to take over the tourna ment top spot in single game "ef forts to date. In scoring 9 goals and 9 free throws he racked slip 15 points in the first half. Gustafson and Gaylen Stolten berg each accounted for 12 points for the Foxes, while Barendse was high for North Marion with 9 . The Salem-Stayton mix would have been more apDronriately billed as a football match, as no less than 61 fouls were called against the ball hawking quints. Both teams were charging ithe ball hard, and the action often found more men on the floor prone than standing. The Viks really had a fight on their hands, until' late in the third period, when, with the Eagles but three points behind at 32 toj 29, they really opened up and but scored the Staytons 22 to 3 1 for the rest of the game. The final quarter saw Stayton score but One point while, the Vikings were tal lying 17. The quarter scores were all in favor . of Coach Harold Hauk's forces, 13 to 5, 28 to 18, and 37 to 31. Stayton slowly crept up on the Viks at the outset of the sec ond half and after five minutes of plajr had cut the point differ ential to three on Gene Small's jump shot It was then that : Sa lem caught fire and pulled away. Larry Paulus was top scorer with IS points. Stayton's Leroy Shower was next with 9.
