HOmS Fro Additional proof that Jack Hurley, manager of Harry (Kid) Matthews leaves no stones unturned when It comes to publicizing his fighter is pictured above. Even the envelopes used in Hurley's correspondence bears advertising for the big Matthews-Marciano fight next Monday night in New York's Yankee Sta dium. This particular envelope, mailed to Statesman Sports Editor Al Ughtner, contained half a dozen newspaper columns on Matthews, written by such New York scriveners as Dan Daniel, Arthur Daley and Jimmy Cannon. Numerous pictures were enclosed also. Hurley is called the smartest flstlo man ager in the business. Any wonder why? Yairaks Stagger DoDdDaini IHlopes via DomiMe ictoiry For a pretty much unheralded event the number of onlookers out for Sunday's boat races on the Willamette was slightly amazing. No admission was charged the approximate 4,000 watchers but neverthe less the sponsoring Salem Boat Club should fe much encouraged as it plans for further programs . . . Phillips Field, now formally dedi cated, provides a dandy new home for local softbaliers. Some of the perfectionists, however, yearn for one more embellishment, and that's a fenced-in park so that the play ers and fans can occasionally thrill to the sight of an over-the-fence home run wallop . . . The guys get tired hitting the pill a mile, run ning their legs off and then getting thrown out at the dish although It is a pretty dramatic picture . . . Now that the new softball field has materialized, the rank and file of the sport should be made aware that they owe a mighty big thank you to a brave and faithful few who kept the campaign for the new field going at full steam when oth ers were ready to give up. We won't mention names other than for campaign organizers Ed Randle and Jim Dimit. for fear of omitting some. At any rate it was this small group that made Phillips Field something more than merely a dream . . . Ex-Ice Ace Looks Back on Career "Minor league hockey Just doesn't pay enough to warrant a player sticking to the trade these days." That's the observation of Hal Hop per, one of the newest members of the Statesman's mechanical crew and for two seasons a center with the now-defunct Portland Eagles of the Coast Hockey League . . . Hal, a native of the Toronto area In Canada, has played in organized ice contests since the age of 12. As with most Canadian kids, he grew up with the thinblades and, pos sessed of better than average talent, eventually wandered into the pro ranks as the property of the Cleveland club of the American circuit . . . When the Eagles folded in 1951, Hal decided to call It quits, even though only 22. He has a great fondness for the sport, thinks there's none better, but adds that financially it's discouraging unless you hit the major National League where minimum salary is $5,000 ... As a comparison, Hopper points out, top stars In the National Ice loop make around $15,000, somewhat under the 60 to 80 grand hauled In by the most glittering of the diamond luminaries . . .Considering that he has been in the thick of what is called the roughest sport in the books, Hal has gotten off pretty lucky in the Injury department His only fracture (Continued on next page) Bevos Explode for 16-3 Verdict Over Padre Club SAN DIEGO )-Hank Arft and Jim Russell batted In five runs piece as Portland walloped San Diego 16-3 in a Coast League series Opener Tuesday night. It was the worst defeat the Padres have been dealt this season. Hollywood's top place Stars scored nine runs in the third inn ing and went on to an 11-4 win over Sacramento. Big blow of the game was Carlos Bernier's grand slam homer for the Stars in the third. Oakland took two games from San Francisco by 3-1 and 8-5 margins. The tilt between Seattle and Los Angeles was rained out. Arft drove home his five tallies for Portland with a homer and triple. Russell knocked in three runs in the ninth for the Beavers with a bases-loaded double. Royce Lint, Portland southpaw, coasted to his third win of the campaign. Injured Eddie Basinskl, who had played in 558 consecutive games up to tonight, kept his string go ing by appearing as a pinch-hitter in the ninth.

JIM DIMIT One of 'Faithful Few' Kiser Loses Wild Scuffle Jack (The Tiger) Kiser log1, his rematch with Eric Pederson at the Armory last night, and Referee Ted Valentine, a newcomer in these parts, came close to losing his hide because of it. It was another ripsnorting bat tle, Just like the first Kiser-Peder-son whopper of a week previous, and the first two falls-were even. Arrogant Eric copped the opener with a crusher head lock after eight minutes, and Kiser came back with a spectacular figure-four head scissors to tie the count. Jack vaulted off the ropes to apply the stunning hold, catching the blond show-off with his guard down. In the last fall Kiser ducked a flying tackle and threw Pederson almost six feet into the air. As Eric landed with a thud, Kiser. was on him for what should have been the pin hold. But Eric's foot was over the ring rope and the referee pat ted Kiser on the bac kto "break" the ohld. Kiser figured he had been given the 1-2-3 "win" pat by Valentine, so jumped up believing he had won. Eric also jumped up and slammed on a full nelson. Kiser was counted out by Valentine (who must be a relation to another official named Valencourt), and the fans were as heated up over the awry outcome as they've been in many a moon at the Armory. Valentine had to have police pro tection in leaving the place. Kiser Immediately demanded a Oakland 030 001 40 11 1 T l m .m - . .

The double win increased the Yankees' American League mar gin over the runner-up Red Sox from Boston to five games, over third place Washington to six and a half and over the fast fading In dians to seven and a half. Rookie Dick Gernert hammered a home run with a mate aboard to highlight a three-run 13th in ning and give the Red Sox a 4-2 triumph over the Chicago White Sox, Marv Gissom of Chicago had a 1-0 lead until the ninth when Boston tied the score. Browns Shantx' Victims Bobby Shantz registered his 17th victory against three defeats, hurl ing the Philadelphia Athletics to a 3-2 triumph over the St. Louis Browns. It was the little lefthand er's eighth straight over the Browns. Virgil Trucks pitched a one-hitter as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Washington Senators, 1-0. Ed die Yost got the hit, a single In the first Inning off Truck's first pitch. Walt Dropo singled in the lone run off Loser Walt Master son in the first inning. Brooklyn retained Its seven and a half game lead in the National with a thrilling 7-6 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings. The Dodgers roared back with five runs in thier half of the 10th after the Reds had tallied four times in the top of the inning. Clincher Forced in Ken Raffensberger, third Cin cinnati pitcher in the 10th, hit catcher Rube Walker with a pitch ed ball to force in the winning run. Homers by Jim Rhodes and Hank Thompson, the latter's with a man on base, gave the New York Giants a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Duness 'Shrine Night' Breaks Record Edmunds Nabs Win; Second Tilt Tonight By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor "Shriners Night," 1952, can be placed in Salem Senator annals as a whopping success. The Senators won the ball game 8-6 by coming from behind with a rousing, six-run inning, the always-determined Shriners racked up a new single-game attendance record for Waters Field this sea son, Fireman Ted Edmunds came through like a champion in a sparkling relief stint, Boss Hugh Luby played his 49th consecutive game without an error, the Salems gained a half-game on idle Lewis ton in the drive for fourth place in the standings and an ex-Senator flinger was given a shellacking in stead of having it vice versa as it usually is. The attendance mark for last night's extravaganza was at first announced as 3,328, which was only 50 short of the opening night gathering of 3.378, high for the season. The sponsoring Salem Shrine Club, bent on raising as much moo la as possible for the Shrine Hospital for crippled kids, immediately bought another 81 tickets so that the record would be established. It was a typical Shriner move, and again sub stantiated the fact that when the Shriners do something, they do it in a big way. Hospital Benefits The Shrine Club's "cut" of the benefit game will put about $1,000 into the hospital fund. The Al Kader Temple Drum and Bugle Corps presented a snappy and well received pre-game con cert, and the newly formed Salem Shrine Club Band was also on hand for pre-game musical ren ditions. The ball game Itself was a dandy, despite being pocked by five errors. The Bears, only a rea sonable facsimile of the club that was here last May (Mgr. Dario Lodigianl and the parent San Francisco Seals have stocked the team with many new faces), got off to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a double and a single off Jack Hemphill, who was facing the enemy with but two days of rest. Salem forged ahead quickly in the second off Ted Shandor, the Senator "ex", when Dick Bartle and Art Thrasher singled, and Bob Nelson smacked a line triple to deep left-center. Hemphill Loses Stuff There it stayed until the fifth. Hemphill was visibly running out of gas, however, and was bombed out in the fifth when the Bears scored five times on four base hits and a costly bobble by Connie Pe rez. Only two of the runs were earned, but the Yaks and slider tossing Shandor had a 0-2 lead. With the way Shandor was breezing through the Salems for other than the second frame, the 8-2 lead looked both as big as the crowd, and like the resident flock was to lay another egg before a big mob, a bad habit of the earlier portion of the season. But Just when things looked the worst, Shandor was suddenly gone and the Salems had an 8-6 lead. They did it with a riproarious six run sixth inning in which five base hits were belted and three Yak errors were committed. Four of the six tallies were earned, and getting the telling base knocks were Bartle, Jim Deyo, Art Thrasher, Nelson and Gene Tan selll. Both Deyo and Thrasher whaakd out doubles. Ted Conies Through Edmunds replaced Hemphill in the fifth, got the side out after giving up a two-run single to Ken Richardson, and then blanked the Bears the rest of the way to gain the triumph. Shandor was the loser. Both Bob Savage, a former major leaguer, and Bob Garrett succeeded Shandor. The Bears threatened Edmunds in all four of the last innings he toiled, but the Santa Barbara heavyweight had what it took when it was needed. The win was his eighth. Both Nelson and Thrasher got three hits as Salem nicked the trio of Bear righthanders for 11. Bartle got two. Earl Richmond had three of the 18 the Yaks collected.

Musial Backs Into Hit Lead NEW YORK (Jf - Tn quest of his third straight batting title, Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardi nals regained the lead as the National League's top hitter with mark nf The slender outfielder collected only six hits in 24 at bats and lost two points, but he still man aged to displace last week's pace setter, Bob Addis of the Chicago Cubs, who dropped to second place with .321. Addis went five for 23 and suffered a 14-point decline. Billy Goodman of the Boston Red Sox continued to top the American League batsmen, with a .336 average, followed by last year's kingpin, Ferris Fain of the Philadelphia Athletics with .326. Figures include Sunday's games. The Washington Redskins of the NFL have played in 38 different cities since they came to the na tion's capital in 1937. Merchants '9' Forfeits, Wools Top City League The Campbell Rock Wools leaped to the top of the City Soft ball League standings Tuesday evening as they took a forfeit win over the erstwhile" leading Salem Merchants in the wake of one of the bigger rhubarbs of the 1952 campaign. The issue between the two hot rivals was decided but quick in the top half of the first inning when Ralph Maddy of the Mer chants and Gordy McMorris of the Campbells were ejected from the game for a mixup at first base. Since the Merchants had no ninth man to fill Maddy's shoes the Wools were given the contest. Another City League mix saw the Teamsters top Hallmark Cards 7-0 behind the two-hit pitching of Frank Micheel and some batwork by Bob Barnwell which included a homer and single. The fireworks in the Merchants Campbells game occurred when McMorris laid down a sacrifice bunt. Maddy picked up the ball and the two came together hard as the Merchant firstsacker ap plied the tag. A beef then ensued Jymnip5c Vault, Discus Records Made; Wliitf ield Equals 800 Standard By TED SMTTS " HELSINKI The Rev. Bob Richards and big Sim loess smash ed Olympic records and marvelous Mai Whitfield tied another Tuee day to lead the United States to victory in three more Olympic tracH and f:eld championships. A third Olympic record was broken and A second equalled by athletes from Germany and Australia. The pole vault ended in sheer drama. Richards and Don T-T of the United States. Ragnar Lunberg of Sweden and Petr Dtaesenlco c3 Russia all broke the Olympic record by clearing 14 feet 6.23 Inches. The bar went to 14 feet 9.17 inches. All four missed It on theif first attempt. Then Laz and Richards cleared it on their aeronil trie. When the Swede and the Russian U.S. Rowing Hopes Jolted; Navy Threat HELSINKI OP) Philadelphia's Jack Kelly Jr.. failed asain Tues day to match his father's Olympic sculling championship as a large part of America's rowing hopes were drowned in the choppy wa ters of Meilahti. The 25-year-old Kelly, beaten in a rainstorm at London four years ago, had a sec ond dream shattered by Poland's Teodor Kocerka, who nipped him in a stirring photo finish. It was one of four setbacks for American sweep-swingers in a long day of semi-final elimina tions, leaving the U. S. with three crews for Wednesday's champion ship showdowns, Only victory for the Red, White and Blue was turned in by a pair of Rutgers University students. Chuck Logg Jr. and Tom Price, who won their heat easily in the pair? without coxswain. OTHERS OUSTED Eliminated along with Kelly were the pairs with cox, four oars without cox, and the double scul lers. But Uncle Sam had his might iest heavyweight shell, the Naval Academy's unconquered eight, to throw at the world along with pairs and the University of Wash ington's four oars with cox. The latter, like the eight, qualified Monday. Water-conscious Great Britain dominated the semi-finals, send ing five of her entries into the championship round. France had four survivors while Russia and Finland were bracketed with the U. S. with three each. Silsox Pocket Tourney Start SILVERTON (Special) The Silverton Red Sox made an im pressive debut in the 1952 State Semi-Pro Baseball Tourney Tues day night as they clouted out 20 hits to overwhelm the Salem News Agency club 14-2 in the meet's curtain-raiser at McGinnis Field. One game is on tap Wednesday night in the double elimination tourney, that pitting the talent loaded Mt. Angels against Stayton ! at 8 o'clock. The Silverton Sox had their most productive moment in the seventh inning when they tallied six times. The lone News runs ar rived in the ninth on a single by Keith Farnam, a trip'.e by Bill Nelson and a passed ball. Charley Sauvain permitted the Salem club but three hits over the route. Chris Christiansen sparked the Silverton attack with a triple, double and two singles. Dick Gentzkow and Sauvain also had triples and Wally Flager punched out a pair of doubles.
