' U : , : . - s t Vi, BUDDT PETERSON ple of otner rookies to "carry in some of the bats." The reply Turner got went something like this: "Nuts to you, you old goat. I came down here to play baseball, not be a batboy." Thus ended Peterson's future in the Portland organization. Jack Wilson, 1948-49 manager of the Salems plucked the husky Peterson from Portland's sandlots and predicted that he could play shortstop for anyone if he could behave himself. But Pete wouldn't behave. Outspoken as they come and ready to kick an umpire on the shins or spit in his eye at the drop of a foul tip, Bud wanted to play it his way instead of the right way. It cost him two previous tries in the Coast League, and another in the Texas loop. The St. Louis Cardinals organization wanted him two years ago. but turned .way after noting the "bad actor" tag he wore. Peterson had a good season with Tri-City last year, and he's had a whale of a spring training with Lefty O'Doul's Padres. Perhaps he's at long last seen the light and has equipped himself with muzzle, thermostat and a pledge to obey the rules. It remains to be seen. At any rate there are a lot of folks downright happy to see Pete In the Coast League, and all hope he sticks this trip. Despite the shortcomings he had, he was a likeable cuss. And no one can ever say the guy didn't hustle once he pulled on his uniform. . . . Pumilite Outfit Sponsors Semipro Team New semipro baseball club to bloom in Salem this season. The Pumilite outfit in West Salem is sponsoring the team through Owner Stan Hammer, and Pete Valdez, long a semipro baseball standout in this area likely will be the manager. Hammer has hopes of placing the Pumilites in the same summer circuit with Silverton, Mt. Angel, Sublimity, etc. ... Wena tehee's Chiefs rot themselves quite a pitcher when they signed Frank Dasso recently. He whiffed 258 batters for San Diego in 1944, a Coast League record, and proved in winning 18 times for Modesto in the tough Cal-State loop last year that he can still pitch. Dasso has been his own worst enemy In baseball. He always thought there was something wrong with him a stiff arm, a sore back, a pain In his chest, etc. and was the rubbing table's best customer. Experts felt that his heart never was in his work, and to this day vow he'd have been one of the best in the majors had he only applied instead of babied himself. . . . Senator baseball owners and fans who have been wondering if Dick Faber and Sal DeGeorge will remain with the San Diego club, or will be returned to the Salems, have more time in which to sweat it out. The pair were sold on a 30-day look basis, the 30 days appli cable AFTER the start of the Coast League season. Boss Luby was happy to get Ray McNulty back from the Sacs earlier in the week, as he's proved himself a winner in the WIL. Luby' expects DeGeorge to be returned eventually, but feels that Faber may hang on with the Padres. White Sox Want Option on Richie Myers As for Richie Myers, Luby was telling us only this week In a telephone conversation from Calistoga that the mighty mite is "looking absolutely great" and that Joe Gordon is extremely high on him. Richie has looked so good in fact that the Chicago White Sox have asked the Sacs for an option on him for the future. "I knew he could field good enough for them," relayed Luby. "And all during spring training he was showing them plenty at bat too." . . . How does the NCAA diwy up the take on those recent basket ball tournaments, you ask? Let's have a look at the one Corvallis and Oregon State College did such a fine job with: The gross gate receipts for the two nights were In the neighborhood of $25,000. Uncle Samuel had the first bite, about $5,000. Transportation and housing costs for the four teams in volved came to approximately $10,000. Operational expenses (of ficials, salaried working personnel, etc.) left the pile at $8,090 or thereabouts. The NCAA took a percentage of this, which wasn't much, for its "kitty" and then divided up what was left and gave each par ticipating school an equal slice. The same procedure was in effect at Raleigh, Chicago, Kansas City and Seattle. ... Important Meeting Set Tonight Softball Rmhs Urged To IHIelp lights' Drive With a full turnout a virtual "must," Salem softballers will gath tr In room 109 of the senior high school tonight, 7:30, to hear the lat est on the arc-light funds drive and to register teams and players for the Major and Industrial Leagues. Ed Handle, president of the Sa lem Softball Association, in em phasizing the urgency of a full house tonight, states that there is need for almost 100 per cent co peration if the campaign for lights at the new Bush Pasture field is to reach the goal of $3,500. Randle indicates that a relative few have shouldered the load to date. At last reports, the funds drive had hit $1375, far less than half of the goal. The softballers have approximately five weeks remain ing to raise the money. If the drive falls short of the goal there may be no night ball and possibly no Ma jor League at all this summer. Randle also asks all sponsors and managers of teams planning to participate in the two leagues to be present tonight for the reg istrations. The lights fund got a shot in the arm earlier in the week with a donation of $150 from merchants of the Capitol Shopping Center. Ringster 'Fair' After Pittsburgh Kayo Loss PITTSBURGH (-Boxer Ray Fields of Washington, Pa., was re ported "doing fairly well" at St. Francis Hospital Wednesday after suffering a brain concussion when he was knocked out in a semi final bout at Flamingo Arena. Fields was knocked out Tuesday night by Bill Wagner, 128? of Pitts burgh who uncorked a left hook in the first round of a scheduled six-round fight, fit was uncon scious 10 minute. charm. We're among the many (Buddy) Peterson, now making Coast League iSan Diego Padres. The fiery Peterson, well known locally since he played almost two seasons for the town Senators, has. had two whacks at the PCL grade before. He flubbed both, and the failures weren't because he could n't field, hit or hustle. He call do all three, plenty. But what he hasn't been able to do is control a 212-degree temper and a lust for the bright lights that burn long after "ballplayers are supposed to be beddy-bye. Fielder? He's among the best the WIL ever has had. Hitter? Categoried as a .270 or .280 man against Triple-A flinging, which is plenty good enough for a short stop. Hustler? One of the best we've ever seen anywhere. Tem per? Ouch! As an example of the latter, Pete had a whirl with Portland when Milkman Jim Turner was skippering the Bevos. It was after a spring camp game at Riverside .1 rr t i ti a i - AYULO TO DRIVE INDIANAPOLIS (JP) - Manuel Ayulo of Burbank, Calif., who fin ished third in the 500-mile auto race last year as relief driver for Jack McGrath, was nominated to drive one of four cars entered Wednesday for the May 30 events.

Collins is the big six foot, four inch southpaw from San Francisco who looked so good in last Sun day's surprisingly easy conquest of the Oakland Oaks here. Hemp hilr early work also has been drawing praise from Luby. Galll Looks Good Luby is also high on the third basing shown thus far by Tom Galli, on option from Sacramento. "He's been looking great," reports Luby, "and I'm only hoping he keeps it up. If he does we'll have no problem at third base." Gene Tanselli, the club's regular third baseman last year after sign ing out of Oregon State College, has been hitting well and doing a creditable Job at shortstop in the early workouts and games, and Hustling Glenn Tuckett looks good at second base. Luby will no doubt take over the keystone spot later on, but right now is required to play first base since the team has no such animal in camp. Dayo Top Fielder Jim Dayo, the six foot, 190 pound outfielder on option from Sacramento appears to be the only sure-fire fixture in the Salem outer patrol at the present time, and Luby is on the prowl for ad ditional gardening help. The Treasure Island Naval "Pi rates" are slated for a Saturday afternoon game with the Senators here, and Twin Falls of the Pio neer League is due in on Sunday afternoon. Luby expects Ray McNulty to check into camp before the week end. The pitcher who won 14 games for Salem last season was returned by Sacramento earlier this week. "He should be a big winner for us if his elbow doesn't give him the trouble it did last season, said Luby. Norm Grabar, with the Salems for part of last season as first baseman and outfielder, is cur rently working out with the club. Luby may use him as a first base man when he rounds into shape. Vikings Ready For Ball Start Lowell Pearce, junior righthand er, will be on the mound when the Salem School Vikings open their 1952 baseball campaign at Leban on Friday afternoon. Coach Harold Hauk also an nounces the remainder of his start ing crew, of whom five are letter men. The monogramers are Jim Brown at short, Jim Rice at sec ond, Bill Nelson in center field. Rod Hales in left field and Eldon Harms in right. Soph Chuck Puhlman will hold down the third base slot, Phil Jantze will be at first and Walt Winters is set for the catching chores. Smith Snares 30th Straight WASHINGTON (FVUnbe a t e n Gene Smith, Washington, scored his 30th straight win in pro ranks Wednesday night with a split de cision over Gene Flanagan, St. Paul, in a 10-round boxing match. Smith weighed 128; Flanagan 129. Judge Julian Whitestone called the bout a draw, Judge Benny Al perstein cast his vote for Smith. Referee Charles Reynolds also called it in Smith's favor. There were two knockdowns in the fast and furious bout, witness ed by 4,000 fans. In the fifth round Smith dumped Flanagan twice for eight counts. It was the most important vic tory in the 20-year-old Negro's four years of campaigning. By getting by Flanagan, rated fourth by the National Boxing Associa tion, Smith has put himself in line for a possible title bout here this summer with Featherweight Champion Sandy Saddler.
