Senators' Attendance? Doing Fairly Well, Thank You By AL LIGHTNER SUtesnun Sport Editor How is Salem Senator baseball attendance compared to that of a season ao when the club estab lished an alltime high for Waters Field? Surprisingly, it isn't as bad s a few rain outs and a second di vision ball club would have it. For all league games (other than last night's scheduled clash with Yakima) the deficit is only 4,443. The Salems of 1951 had 52,316 ad missions in the till after the first 41 home games. The first 41 of the current season pulled 47,873. But the picture is even brighter when the exhibition games are added to the overall attendance figures. Last year the Salems played before 7,440 additional customers via exhibition tilts with Portland and the House of David. Added to the 52,3 IS for league games, that figure swells the at tendance to 59,756. Three exhibi tion outings with Seattle, Sacra mento and the H-Davids this sea son have amounted to 7,812 ad missions which, when added to the league total to date, brings the all-games figure to 55,685. So any way you look at it, the cur rent crew is only around 4,000 in arrears of the '51 outfit. Last night's "Shrine Night" biggie will help erase the deficit considerably, and the annual clash with Port land is yet to come. If Boss Hugh Luby can get his clan into the first division and keep it there, chances are good that the 1952 Senators will again surpass the coveted "hundred grand" level with ease . . . Biggest laff of the week would be Spokane's accusation and pro testing of the Salems for exceed ing the WIL salary limit. Owner Roy Hotchkiss of the Tribe, who must've lost even his good na turedness for flirtations with the salary limit last year, apparently has turned saintly all of a sudden. Now that the Spokane skirt is clean, Hotchie wants to make cer tain it isn't standing alone. At any rate, he teed off on the wrong club. The outfits he should draw a bead on for possible fudging are resid ing in the Canadian portion of the league, at Vancouver and Vic toria. Come to think of it, too bad Vic toria isn't caught doing something naughty so that they might be penalized a few of those wins they have. That's about the only way the rest of the loop will be able to catch up with the Tyees. Just waitll Spokane comes to town next time. Well greet 'em with a "CTbaby Night", including a king-sized crying towel for ol' Hotchie himself.

HU58ANO WHO J&ZjV$' More Records Fall, Olympics American Squad Adds 3 More Gold Medals (Continued from preceding page) Consolini, second with 176 feet B.37 inches, and Jim Dillion of Upper Sandusky, O., third with 174 feet 8.69 inches, also exceeded Consolini's old Olympic mark of 62.78 meters (173 feet 2 inches). Fortune Gordien of Minneapolis was fourth at 172 feet 9.27 inches. Whitfield tied his own Olympic record of 1:49.2 in the 800 meters when he again beat Arthur Wint of Jamaica with a smooth as silk sprint around the last curve and down the home stretch. Herbert Schade, an effortless German distance runner, set an other Olympic record in winning his trial heat of the 5,000 meter run. He did 14:15.4, and loafed home, to eclipse the mark of 14:17.6 set by Gaston Reiff of Belgium in 1948. A new woman sprint champion flashed across the Olympic track. She is Marjorie Jackson, 21-year-old typist from Australia. She won the 100 meters final in 11.5 sec onds. Dutch Star Ailing The great star of the London j games, Fanny Blankers-Koen ol Holland, winner of four gold med als, had to scratch from a semi final heat in the 100 because of illness. She has a bad attack of boils. Great Britain dominated Olym pic rowing. The finals of seven events are Wednesday. Great tsn- , tain has shells in five of these, j and the United States, Russia, j and Finland have qualified three, j Mervyn Wood of Australia, the defending champion in sculls, sur vived to the finals by beating Paul ' Moyer in the repechage or second Chance, but the American ace. Jack Kelly Jr., who hoped to fol low in his father's wake by win ning an Olympic crown, was knocked out by Teodor Kocenka of Poland. Competition started in women's gymnastics, and continued with out reaching the final stage in the modern pentathlon. Wednesday comes the track fi nals in the hop, step and jump in which Adhemar da Silva of Brazil is the favorite; in the jave lin, in which the three Finnish entries are outstanding; in the women's broad jump, in which Yvette Williams of New Zealand Is outstanding; and in the 200 meters. V. S. Liked In 20 Only in the latter is the United States expected to win, either with Andy Stanfield of Seton Hall or Thane Baker of Kansas State. So it would seem the con tinuing playing of the Star Spangled Banner in the sparkling, modernistic Olympic stadium would come to a temporary halt. The 800 meters was a classic race in which Whitfield, who runs with effortless grace, finished with plenty to spare saving him self for the 400 meters, on which he has set his heart on winning. "It was a much easier race than I expected," said Whitfield afterwards. "I had expected the Germans to set a fast pace through the first quarter but they didn't. Instead, Whitfield set the pace and it was slow. Nobody really pushed me and I didn't really nave to sprint at the end.

Phipps Followed Advice, Hit 71 1 For the past couple of years Dick Phipps, one of the new stock holders in the Capitol pin plant, had been using a five-step approach in compiling one of the better records in local play. The other day Bill Bunetta, one of the barnstorming stars, suggested that Dick change to four steps. Dick .knowing that he had been doing pretty well with the five -stepper, was a bit reluctant to take Bunetta 's advice but finally agreed to give the shortened approach a try. The very next evening, using four steps, Phipps whammed a rare 711 series in Summer Lea gue action. That was the convlncer . . .

Froas rh. 2-1908 By Jimmy Hatlo Laundry Club Still Unbeaten In 6B' Circiiit The pacesetting Salem Laundry team of the Junior 'B' circuit rolled to its fifth straight vic tory Tuesday evening via a close 8-7 verdict over Bishop's Electric. Another "B" game saw Berg's Market take its third decision in five starts with a 7-4 triumph at the expense of Truax Oil. Rick Waterman tallied the win ning run for the Laundrymen in the bottom of the fifth and last inning after walking and making the circuit on a stolen base and two errors. Bishop's went out in front in the first frame with a four-run burst, three of which came on a homer by Larry New some. The Laundry club punched over four markers in the third. with Ken Schreder, Phil Burkland and Rick Waterman knocking in the runs. Five runs in the first inning helped Berg's to win over Truax Oil. Sonny Carson homered in the third for the Market club. Gary Hansen hit a two-run homer in the first for the Oilers and Roger Morse added a triple and single to the Truax crews futile attack. A big factor in the game was the eight errors committed by the Oilers.
