Nightcap, 5-2
Opener Dropped, 7-3 ;
Split 'Headers 'Out'
By Al LUhtner
Statesman Spirts Editor
Still the inconsistent ones
theyrve been all season, the town
Senators broke ev- in their split
double bill with? the Yakima Bears
at Waters field Sunday; dropping
the afternooner 7-3 and snatching
the nightcap 5-2. -Thus for their
series with the Yaks the local dan
diesvvon two, lost two and retain
ed their third place perch in the
loop standings.
The Solons now take a day eff
before hitting the road again to
open a three-game stand in Wen
atchee Tuesday night.
The .first whirl at split double
headers, installed Sunday, amounts
to the last also. General Manager
High Luby has decided that play
ing once in the afternoon and then
again the same night is too rough
on the ballplayers. And so from
now on the Sunday bills will be
played in the afternoons.
As an attendance booster the
Eunday "split" was a flop also. A
crowd of 1247 took in the after
noon game, but only 851 showed
up for the arc mix. The combined
total of 2098 was just about match
ed here May 9 when 2050 paid to
nee the afternoon doubleheader
that day.
Two bad inning cost Joe Mis
jhasek his fifth loss in Sunday's
first game. The Bears nailed him
for three runs on four hits in the
third frame, and for four more
tallies on five bingles in the eighth.
The latter splurge broke wide
pen what had been a tight strug
gle, as the Senators in the sixth
inning tied the count at 3-3 with
a big frame of their own.
The three-rurr Salem sortie was
all the resident nine could manage
off the educated tosses of one Matt
Zidich, righthander optioned to
Bears Friday by San Francisco. He
was a mighty tough hombre in
all but the sixth when a combina
tion of Mishasek's bunt hit, a walk
to Richie Myers,' Boss Luby's
jingle to left, Glenn Stetter's
(tingle to the same field and George
McDonald's one-baser over third
brought in the three runs.
Yakima put together five
straight singles for the four big
runs that broke the tie.
Rawbone Ray MeNulty, work
ing despite an ailing elbow on his
pitching arm, came through in the
finale by holding the enemy to
seven hits and picking up 13-hit
batting support of his own.
The nightcap was a fine duel
between the red-headed right
hander and huge lefty Bill Boem
Jer for five innings. But an out
break of two runs in both the sixth
and seventh innings got rid of
Boemler and helped to bring on
McNulty's fourth win of the sea
son. But for two bad pitches Me
Nulty could easily have had a
shutout. In the fourth he picked
up Mike Baxes' bunt and threw
badly to first for an error, allow
ing the Yakthird-sacker to wind
up on second base. He later scored
the unearned run on McNulty's
wild pitch.
Then in the sixth with two out
MeNulty let up on a serve and
Jerry Zuvela whopped it over the
right field fence for a home run.
This was to be all the scoring for
the Bears, who could collect no
mote than one hit in any one in
ning off MeNulty.
Bill Beard's single and Richie
Myers line triple to deep left
renter amounted to Salem's first
run in the fifth off Boemler. In
the sixth a combination of three
walks and hits by George .McDon
ald, Pete Tedeschi and Beard net
ted two more tallies.
.Boemler left .in the next frame
wrn Dick Faber, Stetter and Mc
Donald hit consecutively, Mac's
bingle scoring Faber. Tuckett's
perfectly executed squeeze bunt
off Reliefer Dave Anderson tallied
Stetter with the final run of the
fame.
Pitcher Ludwig Lew has been
placed on the disabled list because
of a lame arm, and will be out of
action at least 10 days . . , For
the season to date the attendance
total reads 21,471 . . . The club re
turn home next Friday night to
open a series wiuSpokane.

i Missives Reported
Before Doubleheader
CINCINNATI. May 20-V-The
life of Jackie Robinson, star in-
fielder for the- Brooklyn Dodgers,
has been threatened in letters re
ceived here, newsmen learned to
day before the Brooklyn-Cincinnati
baseball doubleheader.
Robinson said between games
that he was a "little; bit concern
ed" when he learned of the threats.
"When I came to the pkite lor
the first time today, it was a liule
bit uncomfortable, but after every
thing Went along smoothly for two

it," the first Negro to play in the
majors added.
The threats obviosuly didn't af
fect Jackie's hitting. He knocked
in four, runs in the opener- three
of them on a homer to lead the
Dodgers to a 10-3 viclory-
1 don't believe that a guy who
intended to shoot me would write
letters to the police about it in
advance," Robby said, "although I
don't doubt that some day some
screwball might try something."
He said with a grin, "1 told the
boys not to get close to me on the
field, and (Dodger Captain Pee
Wee) Reese said that he was go
ing to take a step or two back
ward before throwing to me on a
double play." j ,
It was Reese who confirmed to
day that at least two letters threat
ening Robinson's life had been
received in Cincinnati.
Police officers scrutinized the
crowd and made a careful search
of the buildings overlooking Cros-
ley field beyond the j outfield
fences- One note expressed the
intention of shooting Jackie from
a window across the way. it was
reported. i
Police expressed the belief that
the letters were the work c-f a
crank. j i
"I had gotten several threaten
ing letters before," Robby admit
ted, "the last one being in 1S48. I
just passed those oil as the vt.ik
of a crank or a fanatic and that is
apparently what they were.
Robinson added, "I do not know
why anybody would want to shoot
me. I have not done anything to
anybody. I believe in live and let
live. i -
Reese said that Police Lt. Orville
Burleson showed him one of the
letters, threatening ito "gef the
Negro . player. It was dated May
14, the. Dodger captain reporUti.
and was signed "TheTravelers."
Managing Editor Everett Bovd
of the Enquirer; confirmed that a
similar missive was! mailed from
Cincinnati's west end to the ne s-
paper, threatening to kill Robin
