Olympic Lists More Rowers NEW YORK JP)- Nearly 100 crews, almost twice as many as competed in 1948, are expected to take part in the Olympic rowing trials at Worcester, Mass., July 2-5. Cliford (Tip) Goes, chairman of the Olympic rowing committee, said that about a dozen college eight-oared crews were expected to enter the Olympic trials. In ad dition to eights, here will be com petition for fours, with and with out coxswain, pairs with and without coxswain, double and single sculls. Andy Anderson's inside-park home run of last Friday night has t reated all sorts of comment along the local baseball arcade, a boule vard now bustling again since the weather warmed up and the ball rlub stormed into the first divi sion. The speed with which the Negro flyer scooted around the sacks seems to be the most promi nent portion of the confabs, and all who have seen him will agree that the Senators right fielder can mobile bust fast. Some would have it that Ander son's hit was nothing more than a single on which Yakima Outfielder Gene Klingler committed an error, allowing Andy to add three more bases to his flight. But baseballs can take bad hops in an outfield just as they do in an infield. Anderson s blow clearly and craz ily bounded beyond the out stretched glove of Klingler, and the Senators' Rochester took care of the rest. Others believe that Anderson's thriller was the first WIL inside park homer ever hit at Waters Field. Being somewhat of a his torian on the 25th and Turner Rd. plant, we'll have to report that Andy's cruise was the seventh in lpapup nlav hprp since the ball park was built in 1940. First to engineer one of the fluke homers (and they are that inasmuch as it takes either a bad hop or a misjuagemeni to get one), was John (Bunny) Griffiths, manager and shortstop for the Salems in 1940-41. Bunny biffed one in 1940 and picked up one of Ted Chambers' Valley Packing Co. Cascade Hams, the ham-for- j homer nnze being in effect those vears also. And if Chambers will look back on his books he'll find that two more hams went to guess who the same season. Two more were hit in 1946. one by Eddie Wheeler of the Senators and the other by Bill Garbe, then the Yakima first base man. Wheeler will be recalled as being one of the fastest runners ever to play in the league, rating right behind Eddie Barr who we believe to be the fastest the circuit has ever known. Bo$ Luby Biffed One Last Season Too It was only last season in a local series with Tri-City, and off the slants of Long Lou McCollum, that Boss Hugh Luby made the mad dash and joined the touch-em-all fraternity . . . Speaking of fluke base hits brings up the topic of scorekeep ing and the annual criticism aimed our way by certain fans who re convinced that we must be the worst base hit tabulator In the business. The latest gripe received comes from "A Fan, one who apparently doesn't have nerve enough to sign his name, and one who accuses us of buttering- up Glenn Tuckett's batting average. He also insists that we must be related to the Solon third baseman In some way, or that we owe him money, and that we are out wardly Influencing Boss Hugh Luby 'a plans for personnel changes by giving Tuckett a couple of base hits he doesn't deserve. We're sure that if the crank who wrote the letter, or any other fan for that matter, will take the trouble to check with Luby, he will find that the ballplayers are getting only what they DO deserve In the way of base hits. We see only those games here at home where we admit to being generous in our decisions on whether the blow in question Is hit or error. At the same time we are fully aware that a pitcher's earned run average must be seriously considered. But we don't see the games on the road, where such incidents as the following take place regularly: Mighty Queer Things Happen on the Road In a game at Wenatehee recently, Luby was on base when Anderson hit a drive that bit Luby. The Solon chief was out, but the scorekeeper also charged Anderson with a time at bat and Save him no hit. It clearly states In the roles that Anderson should e credited with a hit. In another game at Lewiston one of the Senator players got two clean base hits In three times at bat, and has the testimony of the whole squad to prove it. Yet he was officially credited with ene hit In four times np! The boys come off their road jaunts mighty, disgusted at times. They aren't getting1 a fair shake when abroad. Consequently when they hit drives here that are in the least bit questionable, we do not hesitate in scoring "hit on them. Other scorekeepers in the league are doing the same thing for their pets, believe us. So let's not be getting oar water hot before we know what we're heating it np with. There have been no complaints from ballplayers, managers or league president during our eight years at It. The only squawks seem to come from those who are spit tin at the surface before they know what's beneath It . . .

The Senators, who had started the game with a four-game win ning streak, scored three times in the seventh off Lefhander Ben Lorino, the league's strikeout king who could only whiff three Mon day night. It was Lorina's fifth win, DeGeorge's third loss. Three straight singles by Man ager Cece Garriott, Don Pries and Chuck Abernathy in the third net ted the first two runs for the Tyees. Two walks and Granville Gladstone's single got another across in the fifth, and in the sixth Catcher Milt Martin hit a 330-foot home run, after which a walk and singles by Garriott and Pries ac counted for another tally. Pries, the league's leading hitter, had four hits in the game and Gar riott had three. Salem's runs came when Johnny Moore walked, Jim Deyo singled to center and Bob Nelson doubled, scoring two. Glenn Tuckett later singled in Nelson. Tuckett and Nelson were the only Solons able to get more than one hit off Lorino, who yielded eight in all. Salem threatened in the ninth when Nelson and Larry Mann, who had replaced DeGeorge, sin gled. But Tuckett smashed a hard drive at the third baseman to end the game. The clubs play again Tuesday night. Salem's loss dropped the Sena tors into a fourth place tie with Wenatchee in the standings.

Mitchell Replaces Rizzuto f As Robinson Holds NL Lead NEW YORK OP) -Dale Mitchell, the surprise sparkplug of the front-running Cleveland Indians, is doing some front-running himself, whaling away for a .360 average to lead the American League in bat ting, j Mitchell picked up 20 points during the week to displace thi New York Yankee shortstop, Ph Rizzuto. Averages include games through Sunday. In the National League, second baseman Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers continues to lead the batting parade with a .359 average although his week's work (6 hits in 22 times at bat) caused him to lose 34 points. This was moving week for the top 10 leaders in each league. Riz zuto dropped to third with .342 and Dom DiMaggio, ranked sec ond with .343, the other positions in the American League changed hands, but good. Bob Nieman of St. Louis came with a rush to grab fourth with .341, picking up 46 points over his average last week. Eddie Robin, of the Chicago White Sox moved from seventh to fifth with .336. Al Rosen, runner-up to Rizzuto last week, fell to number six with .333 followed by the first, and probably not the last, appearance of Detroit's George Kell among the leaders. The Tiger third sacker is hitting .327. Hector Rodriguez, Chicago, .320, Eddie Joost of the Philadelphia Athletics, .314, and Bobby Avila of Cleveland, .311, round out the top 10. Del Ennis of the Philadelphia Phillies picked up only four points during the week but this was enough to put him right behind Robinson for the National League lead at .345. Cincinnati's Joe Adcock picked up 27 points to come from the "also-rans" to third with .341. Frankie Baumholtz and Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs are next with .330 and .327 respec tively. Stan Musial, finally finding the range, came up with a 9-for-19 week to add 34 points to his av erage. He's tied with Sauer for the fifth slot. Jack Merson of Pittsburgh is seventh at .318 followed by Duke Snider of Brooklyn with .317. Harry Lowrey, St. Louis Cards outfielder, managed to get only two hits in 19 at bats and his av erage dropped from the second place heights at .386 to a ninth place .316. Whitey Lockman is the NL's top 10 anchor man at .311. Foftclhies AMERICAN LEAGl'B W L Pet W L Pet.

Tigers May Be Worst Finishers ! DETROIT (TP) - Manager Red Rolfe and his Detroit Tigers face ' this sickening thought: ! If the last-place Tigers keep losing at their present rate, they could finish almost as far out of the pennant face as any club in American League history. They're the only major league j team that never finished in last; place and anturally they'd hate to start with one of the worst tail- i end finishes. The Bengals, after Monday's 3-2 , loss to the Boston Red Sox, now I trail first place Cleveland by 11 ' games. Rolfe s club has played Z7 games. If his team continues to drop 11 additional games behind ! the leader for every 27 played, i the team would finish 63 games j out of first place. That would almost shame the ! unwanted record of the 1939 tail j enders from St. Louis who ended ' up 64 1 . games behind the win ning New York Yankee. SHuautoiuit Giants in 1st; Dodgers Rained By The Associated Press Sal, The Barber, Maglie pitched the New York Giants into a tie for the National League lead with the Brooklyn Dodgers Monday with an effortless 4-0 victory over the forlorn Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodgers played a 1-1 tie with the Chicago Cubs when their Ebbets Field game was called in the sev enth because of rain. It will be replayed at a later date, but all the figures will go into the official averages. Maglie's Seventh Win It's beginning to look as if Mag- lie never will be beaten. This was his seventh victory of this year without a defeat and 10th In a row over a two-year span. The Pirates might as well have been swinging with fly-swatters against the Barber's slants. They collected just seven singles. Six of them went back to the bench via the strikeout route, to raise Maglie's season's output to 42. Irooks Rained Out The rain broke up a good pitch ing duel between the Brooks' young Billy Loes and Turk Lown of the Cubs. Both were hot with Loes striking out five Bruins in a row two short of the major league record after getting off to a shaky start. In the American League, only one game was scheduled, and in that Boston's veteran "platoon" polished off the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. The victory pulled the Bosox within four percentage points of the second place Washington Sen ators. Young Bill Henry got credit for the triumph, but he had to be rescued by oldsters Ellis Kinder and Mel Parnell when the Tigers began to claw him. Shrine Prizes Put on Display A number of the many valuable prizes to be won in the Salem Shrine Club sponsored golf tourna ment at Salem Golf Club June 1, for the benefit of the Shrine Hos pital for Cripped Children, can now be seen in the display window of the Carlyn's Jewelry Store in the Capitol Shopping Center. The Lincoln Zephyr auto, in cluded in the prize list, is on dis play at the Center also and will be involved in a Shrine skit at the ball park next Sunday night when the Salem Senators play the Tri-City Braves. Gridders Claim Snarled by Law DENVER 0P)-A Denver judge sent back to the Colorado Indus trial Commission Monday a case involving a college football player who filed claim for compensation because of a grid injury. District Judge William A. Black said the commission should de cide definitely whether Ernest E. Nemeth was an employe of Den ver University at the time he says he suffered a back injury which necessitated an operation. Nemeth filed the claim last July. Later the commission ruled he was entitled to compensation, then the University appealed the ruling to district court. The University argued Nemeth had failed to prove his claim he was paid to play football and there was no employer-employe relationship involved.

(JP) - Clever Harry Matthews ot Seattle count erpunched his way to a 'decisive 10-round decision over Rex Layne, Lewiston, Utah, in a boxing bout here Monday night. After the first round when Layne rocked Matthews twice with lefts to the jaw there was. no doubt of the outcome. That is, il Matthews could' stay away .'from the bruising haymakers of the Utah mauler. Decision Unanimous The decision of Judges Freddy Steele and Eddie Volk and ol referee Ralph Gruman was unani mous. Matthews almost ended the fight in the second round. He set up a near haymaker with hard rights and lefts to the body, then a left hook and a right td the jaw sent Layne to the canvas and put him down for the required eight counts. He could have continued before the end of the count but he ob viously had been hurt. ( There were no other knock downs.
