They bagged these 42 fish in a recent charter cruise outside the popular Oregon bay. Most of the fish weighed between 10 and 30 pounds, a 31 -pounder being the largest. The happy anglers are (I-r) Ray Ferris, 20 N. 24th St., Salem: B. L. Gronlund, 335 N. 24th St..

Anglers seem to be having great success with salmon fishing off the Oregon shorelines recently. OBJiinideirBg: Brooks 9th Field to be Formally Opened Softy Dedication Tonight Salem softballdom formally de dicates its new Phillips Field home tonight with appropriate ceremo nies, including some short talks by dignitaries, throwing out of the first ball, etc. The festivities at the recently c$ompleted field in Bush pasture commence at 8 o'clock and after the preliminaries are over six soft ball teams will engage in three ex hibition mixes of three innings each. The first game puts th Bears When Leo Grosjacques teaches art of hitting he knows that of which he speaks or Is a .483 batting average any indication of prowess?

Someone presents the question: Was the bout with Bob Murphy the only previous venture into the bigtime (and Madison Square Garden) by Kid (Hurleyeane) Matthews?

Lindell con centrated on pitching with the Padres and currently is enjoying his best season to date, a knuck ball being his chief terror weapon for op posing batsmen.

Pin Stars Like This Oregon Clime Lee Jouglard and Bill Bunetta, two of the all-star bowling cast which appeared here recently in an exhibition, like this neck of the woods so much that they're still hanging around, fishing and what not ... Another member of the all-star troupe. Buzz Fazio, Is en the first Ail-American pin team for 1952 which has Just been announced . . . Concerning these stars, some ask if their expenses are paid on these barnstorming trips. No, the boys go it on their own after getting leaves from Jobs with midwest brewing outfits . . . The stars make passably good Incomes on these trips, what with guarantees In the various stops and such booty as the $200 "pot" picked up here . . .

Dirty Looks Aimed at IBC Radio Ban A lot of general griping heard hereabouts because the IBC has blacked out 100 per cent any radio broadcasting of the coming and probably monumental clash between Matthews and Marclano. The citizenry can see a reason why the lid has been clamped on television for the July 28th festivities but why penalize ring fans 3,000 miles away with a blanket ban on radio? . . . The broadcast ban is particu larly grating to the faithful followers ef Matthews out here in the Northwest. They paid out dough to see the Seattle smoothie In many a bout as he was coming up. They are the loyal bloc; they're kind of proud of the Kid. They stuck by him when he wasn't much of a name; they'd like to get at least a word picture of his sternest test new that he Is a name . . . But, nope, the IBC sticks to its guns, forgetting that Joe Louis had no trouble pulling the customers in by the carloads even with broadcasts, forgetting that Dempsey and Tunney were in a couple f battles that reached million dollar status despite being broadcast . . . Certainly, the aspects of the Matthews - Marclano mix are fetching enough that the bout could fill those Yankee Stadium perches, broad- it or no uroaacass . . .

Chicago upset the Yankees, 8-4, and the loss cut the New Yorker's margin to 44 games over the Boston Red Sox, who edged the staggering Cleveland Indians, 3-7, in 12 Innings. The defeat dumped Cleveland out of third into fourth place in favor of the on-rushing Washington Senators. The Senators took both ends of twin-bill from the St. Louis Browns, 7-6 and 6-3. In another bargain bill, the Philadelphia Ath letics nipped Detroit, 8-7 in the opener, and then battled to a 3-3 tie in the second game, which was called because of Pennsylvania's curfew law. Bums Still 7V'i Ahead Brooklyn remained 7V4 games ahead in the National League, waltzing to an 8-5 triumph over Pittsburgh while the runner-up New York Giants defeated Chica go, 9-7. The third place St. Louis Cardinals clipped the Boston Braves, 8-4, and the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies di vided a doubleheader, the Reds taking the opener, 6-5 in ten inn ings and the Phils the nightcap, 4-3. Pinch - hitter Leo T h o m a s' squeeze bunt in the eighth inning enabled Ed Robinson to score what proved to be Chicago's win ning run. Lipon's Single Decisive Weak-hitting Johnny Lipon sin gled with the bases loaded in the 12th off relief pitcher Mike Garcia to give Boston its tenth victory in 12 starts. Dizzy Trout, fourth Red Sox pitcher, was the winner. Con Marrero gained his eighth victory for Washington in the first game against the Browns but needed help from Joe Haynes to stamp out a five run rally in the eighth. The Senators bagged their fifth straight victory in the second fame behind Bob Porterfield and andy Consuegra. (Continued next page) Seixas Winner HAVERFORD, Pa.

Edmunds Drops 3-Hit Tussle 'Shrine Night' Waits Club; Osborn Protests FERRIS FIELD, Spokane (Spe cial) -Frank (Chesty) Chase went the distance for the first time since May 3 Sunday night to blank the Salem Senators 2-0 in the final game of their WIL baseball series here. Spokane thus won the Tenes 2-1. All three games of the series were played under protest by Manager Don Osborn of the In dians, who claims that the Sena tors are paying salaries above the league limitations. President Bob Abel was in the stands Sunday night and said that he did not think Spokane had sufficient grounds for a protest. Although pitching a three-hitter. fanning seven and walking only two, Ted Edmunds was Chases victim in the game. Chase held Salem to three hits also, by Gene Tanselli, Connie Perez and Pinch hitter Bill Spaeter, the latter com ing in the eighth inning when he singled for Edmunds. Spokane scored in the first inn ing on a bloop single by Ed Mur phy, another hit by Sam Kanelos, a sacrifice bunt and Mel Wasley's outfield fly. An error with two out, a stolen base, wild pitch and a walk, after which George Huff man and Wasley executed a dou ble steal, brought in an unearned run in the sixth. Chase fanned nine, walked five Salem loaded the bases on him in the eighth, but he pitched out of the mess. The loss was Edmunds seventh, against as many wins. The Senators have Monday off. and on Tuesday night open the crucial series with Yakima here at Waters Field. Tuesday will be "Shriners Night." one ef the biggies of the season each year. If the weather holds good, between 4,000 and 5,000 likely will turn out for the big benefit clash for the Shrine Hospital. The Salem Shrine Club, spon soring the event, will get half of all revenue over the 2.000 at tendance figure for the Hospital fund . . . Bill Spaeter has been seeing only limited service with the club because of a pulled leg muscle. Manager Hugh Luby has not stated the reason why he has been out of the lineup three straight nights . . . The Senators won three and lost three for their week on the road.

Moore Rewrite Book Texan Wins in High Jump; Czech Ace Hot By TED SMITS HELSINKI (JP) - Walt Davis, $ childhood victim of polios won thf Olympic high jump gold medal for the United States Sunday td touch off a series of four record breaking performances in the first day of track and field competition of the 1952 games. Three of the record breakers high jumper Davis, Russian discui thrower Nina Romaschkova, and Czech 10,000 meter runner Emil Zatopek won their events. The fourth mark was set by America's Charlie Moore in a pre liminary heat of the 400 meter hurdles. v The towering Texas soared 6 feet 8.32 inches to erase the garnet mark of 6 feet, 7.93 inches set by Cornelius Johnson of the United States in 1936 at Berlin. While Davis was winning the first gold medal of the games. Za topek, the great Czechoslovakia) distance runner who looks as U every step is his last, success fully defended his Olympic cham pionship in 10,000 meters and low ered his own record from 29:59.0 to 29.17. So terrific was his pac that he carried the next two run ners under the old record time. Moore Runs :50.8 Moore, the ex-C ornell star, smashed the Olympic record in the 400-meter hurdles in the sec ond round of trial heats. He did it in :50.8, compared to the time ol :51.1 set by Roy Cochrane of ths) United States, at London in 1948. He was only two-tenths of a sec ond off the world record. In the third and last final of th day, the fourth record was broken. Here, surprisingly enough, Misg Romaschkova, a heavily muscled girl, won the discus with 168 feet 8.46 inches, with Elizaveta Bagr jancey of Russia second, and th famous Nina Dumbadze of Russia third. The old mark was 156 feet 3.23 inches, set by Gisele Mauer mayer of Germany in 1936. It was a one-two-three sweep for the Soviets, making their first appearance in Olympic competi tion, but the United States came close to matching it when Ken.
