scores were 3-1 in the opener aa AWon (The Duke) Wilkie came wilhln

ens 17th triumph of the season despite his walking nine fTigers, end
While In town last weekend to watch the blow by blow of any
possible reoccurance of the Fana vs. Valeneourt squabble. WIL, Boss
Bob Abel passed alonf info concerning the league's r)it-sasori play
effs. And since H. Luby & Co. fully expect to be in the thick of the
eliminations well relay Abel's plan on to you. First phase of the play
of fa will be two games out or tnree,
with the No. 1 team flaying No. 3
and No. 2 going against No. 4
Transportation and the cost there-;
ef being a major item in the Abel
plan, here's bow the playoffs aro
set up: -
Should Salem finish third and
Spokane first, the opening clash of
the series will jbe played here in
Waters field and the next two at
Spokane. Salem finishes the reg
ular, season at Victoria and Spo
kane buttons up play at Vancou
ver. So both would come here lor
a game before going to Spokane
for the last two. Should Salem
finish third and Vancouver first,
cpening tilt would be at Vancou
ver and the next two here in Sa
lem. Same setup applies should
the Senators finish fourth, with
either Vancouver or Spokane fin
ishing second. .
Just where the opening game of
the 3-cut-of-5 finals would start
' will depend upon how, who and
where the first series winds up.'
The city involved in the least amount of travel would get the opening
two games of the finals. f
Were one to make a guess as to the opening playoffs, we'd aay
Epokane (1) and Salem (3) will play the first game here and the
next two in Spokane, while Vancouver (2) and Wenatchee? (4) would
play their first game at Voncouver and the next two at Wenatchee.
For the finals (and this is on the wild dream side), Salem would play
the first two at Wena tehee and then -finish it all up by winning the
playoffs right here at home , . . s j

Wilkie uncorked his finest out
ing of the campaign In last night's
opener, yielding two scratchy hits
and walking nobody. An infield
error cost him the run in the fourth
as it put K. Chorlton on base as
the Inning's leadoff batter. John
Kovenz followed with the first hit
off Wilkie, a lazy blooper to right
that barely escaped Mgr. Hugh
Luby's grasping glove. Chorlton
went to third on the hit and scor
ed when Mike Catron bounced in
to a double play. A smash off the
bat of Jose Bache in the fifth that
was partly knocked down by Gene
Tanselli at third was the only oth
er bingle the Newberg nifty yield
ed.
Had the error not been made
and neither Kovenz or Bache come
up with the singles, Wilkie would
have had a perfect game.
Salem dented Lefty Tom Kipp
for two runs in the fourth on a
walk, a single by Bill Spaeter, a
costly error- and another clutch
single by Dick Bartle. Dave Dana
singled in the final run in the sixth,
Wilkie's win was his ninth.
WUdaeas Offset
All the spectacular stuff wasn't
contained in the opener, however.
Not by a long shot Bevens had a
fine, hopping fast ball in his game,
but couldn't find the dish with it
and walked nine. The more er
rant he got the better his inner
defense seemed to click.
Double play No. 1 came In the
second inning after Bev had walk
ed the bases full and then fanned
Merv Dubbers. Mel Knezovich, the
losing flinger, bounced weakly
back to the big righthander who
threw to McKeegan for a force at
the plate. Jim then got Knezovich

Bevens got by the eighth In fine
shape but in the ninth had it all
to do himself to preserve his third
shutout of the season. Kovenz open
ed the ninth with an Infield single
to Luby and Butch Moran doubled
hard to deep right to anchor run
ners at second and third. Watson
went out to Gene Tanselli who
caught his foul pop fly far back
of third base. Bache was almost

for he lined to Tanselli who then-
barely missed doubling Kovenz off
third. With two now jout Bevens
walked Mike Catron to iam the
bases and bring up Dubbers. The
count 'was at 3-and-2 as Dubbers
fouled off three straight pitches
and then popped up weakly to
Luby to end the nerve-wracking
fracas.
