'Rod Classise 'Rod' Classic Set 14 SEATTLE (tfV Twenty or more hot rods will be grinding at the local Aurora Stadium Speedway Saturday night in the 100-lap Class. A rece for the Pacific Coast championship. The top northwest drivers will be gunning for the title taken last year by Bob Donk er of Everett and the year before by Les Sutton of Portland. Mill City Wins j MILL CITY (Special)- The Those lovers of the bow and arrow, who had quite a time for themselves in the Salem Jabberwalkie Club's first annual invitational shoot last weekend, don't confine themselves merely to tournament shooting over the year. Many are expert huntsmen and it will be noted that when the special sea sons are in effect many a modern Robin Hood comes home with a prize. Fact is, hunters can more rightfully be called sportsmen when stalking the quarry with bow and arrow, for the animal is provided with much more of an even break. You have to be a. wise, wise nimrod, skilled in the art of stalking, in order to get close enough to the wary game for a clean bow shot ... " One of the most prominent arch ers in these parts is a veteran bow-puller named Russ Jones. One of Russ' chief claims' to distinction was the privilege of doing some British Columbia hunting with fame Howard Hill a year or so ago. Hill, you know, has appeared in lots of movie shorts plus doing the arrow work in such : as the Robin Hood films. Jones himself is so good at the trade that it's no ing, bounding Jack-rabbit with one room is loaded with evidence that success ... Did yon note the familiar name that popped up in the Industrial Softball' League along about mid season? Yep, Hank Singer and couldn't resist getting out there to test his still capable mound magic against enemy hitters. Singer, you know, announced several yean ago that he was definitely calling it quits after a long and glittering hurling; career in the local City League and he said definitely! But like so many others he weakened when the nice warm summer time came along ... Another in the same category is longtime Catcher Pete Mc- Caffery, who stepped down from the City loop, only to pop cp with the Firemen in the Industrial circuit . . . Speaking of the softballers, there'd better be some new pitching blood showing up one of these days. Looking over the list of top local hill artists, you'll find most of 'em to be seasoned vet in the game for a long time. . One of these days these gents may be wanting would leave quite a void since pitching is the core of the game. Northicest Land Link Plum$ This Summer The Northwest has done nobly of golf tournaments. Eugene is blessed with the current National Jun lor meet, sponsored by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce and up coming at Portland is the Women's National Amateur. Seattle also gets in on the pie with the Men's National Amateur late this month, after having sported the west leg of the meet late in the spring . . . Those who saw Dick Yost burn up Salem Golf Club and capture three straight Elks Tourney titles predicted that the blonde-thatched star would one day be a mighty tough man In any league. And those predictions every day as Dick steadily adds polish to his sound game.

Now Joe Is picking up some shekels fighting In the utlands. First it was Prineville and next it will be Pendleton. The one hope here is that Kahut can sense when it's time to quit. He's too nice a guy to end up walking on his heels ... Talking of Matthews, expect his next bout the first of his "comeback' to take place in Portland.
