VINCE GENNA
A right deserving my.
We trust that the overlords In charge of the great program that
is American Legion Junior Baseball learned themselves a lesson at
Yakima last week. We're also in hopes that they realize what a bunch
of stuffed shirts they are to be
vulnerable enough to allow the
protest atrocity involving the Ore
gon and Hawaiian entries.
We doubt if any real conspiracy
was attached to the loused - up
mess at Yakima, even though at
the time we were perfectly willing
to go to Yakima to help knock a
few heads together, feeling that
the ' Salem kids were being pur
posely gypped. We'd have had
plenty of company too, for not in
many a moon has anything stirred
up the local animals 'such as that
egg-laying exhibition did.
American Legion Junior Base
ball is. governed by the profession
al baseball ruies book in all in
stances other than eligibility and
the fact that team directors can
not coach from the coaching box
es. Consequently, when the protest
nni imho1ii of Valrima hv tVio hpad
Legion ririgmaster in Indianapolis; he was acting In direct conflict
with the rules book. Therefore, the same gent in Indianapolis is naught
but a nucklehead not worthy of his high position in the opinion of
the thousands who now realize that the Salem team was given a bum
Shuffle. ... . . ,
The first line of the American Legion Jumor Baseball Code of
Sportsmanship reads, "Keep the rules." The high pooh-bah in In
dianapolis must not be up on his reading. ...
The Hawaiian team, not to be blamed for the incident in any
way, had a legitimate protest coming when batter Mike Campbell
stepped on home plate while attempting to bunt, and base-runner
Twink Pederson advanced a base. The game umpires were right in
calling Campbell out for his mistake. But they flubbed up when they
forgot to send Pederson back to first base.
Really An A-l Job of Botching Things Up
Had the Hawalians lodged their official protest at that time,
-there would have been no cause for the bellyaching that came -later.
But the protest wasn't lodged until an inning later, the Sa
lem ccach (Vince Genna) wasn't notified of It until the seventh
inning of the game and the official scorer, who mnst be notified
immediately according to the rules, hasn't YET been notified by
umpires or game officials.
It was a botched up mess the likes of which we've not run across
since we started batting baseballs through the neighbors' windows.
And the way it was handled by the Legion baseball big-shots was
equally punted around.
Had the protest been lodged at the proper time, and had Genna
been informed of it in accordance with the rules, he would have sent
Pederson back to first base himself.; Vince knows the rules and would
not have taken the chance of having a protest cost his his kids such
an important game. As it turned out Salem would have knocked the
socks off the Hawaiians even if Pederson had also been called out
during the incident.
Having teen-age kids play seven games in five days Is against
every unwritten rule of health and physical fitness. Yet this seem
ed to make little or no differnce to the gent in Indianapolis, whose
name we know but do not believe important enough to mention.
Thankfully enough the Salems elected to play the ordered game
rather than to give up in disgust and come home. They were right,
according to the rules, but they were denied their rights. They could
have come home, and would have been just as much a collective hero
as they are now as they prepare to battle San Diego and Denver at
Hastings. Genna and his gang of determined hustlers have more
itomach than a train-load of tripe.
On paper Salem hasn't a chance at Hastings. But we've learn
ed to not sell Genna's Gang short. After all. they weren't sup
posed to be good enough to win the state title. Now they're among
the lone remaining 12 Legion teams in the nation that have a
chance for the "world" championship. Thousands of teams start
ed oat toward that ntopia last Jane.
Capital Post Men Note Have Job Before Them
. Capital Post Noi 9 has no doubt launched plans for a great home
coming for the kids after their warfare is over. Legionnaires are al
ways appointing committees for this and that. If they don't name
couple for "this occasion they belong in the knucklehead class also.
One should work up a rousing reception that would pat oar
fair village on its ear. The other should start now to build up a
cash fund for Coach Genna, aiming at no less than S 1,000. Capi
tal Post itself could start the ball rolling by tossing in the first
$250.
Why a cash fund for Genna? He gets nothing for coaching the
team. Still he has a wife, two kids and a job that he hasn't been able
to make any money at for quite a spell simply because he's been with
his Legion Gang. It's safe to say it has cost-Vince $500 to coach the
team this season. And $500 is a lot of money to a truck-driver.
If you care to pitch in a bit on the fund, just drop in to Wick-
hind's Sporting Goods Store, 372 State St. That's the headquarters for
tollections.
So let's get with It Vince really deserves it . . .
We also hope that the day will come when Yakima has one
of Its Junior teams here in Salem for play. The hospitality and
friendship shown the Salem kids at Yakima last week was re
portedly of the lowest,grade. We'd like to have the Yak kids here
some day, not to reciprocate with similar nastiness, but to show
them that Salem people are a much better grade of human be--Ing

Clarence Smith Takes
Final Hard Top Feature
By CHARLES IRELAND
Statesman Sports Writer
Clarence Smith wrapped up the
Hard Top championship of, Holly
wood Bowl for 1952 Saturday
night with a thrilling victory in
a 20-lap feature race that follow
ed two 50-lap preliminay races.
Starting from scratch' in a 16
car field, Smith wrested the lead
from Walt Pflughaupt on the
next-to-last lapof the final race.
Finishing third behind Pflughaupt
was Red Monaghan, and Salem's
Bob Porter was fourth. Trailing
the leaders were Don Guth, Art
Watts, Don Nelson, Dick Braniff
and Dick Gabouri in that order.
The race meet was a riot of
dust and spinouts. The spins,
which usually occur on the curves,
happened right in front of the
bleachers with regularity last
night.
The worst one saw Danny Hopp
and Annan Mill an collide, with
Hopp swerving into the infield and
dissappearing in a cloud of dust.
He suffered a minor shoulder in
jury. '
Smith won the first 50-lap race,
an event that was enlivened by
the antics of "Wild Bill' Hyde who
spun out three times but never
stopped trying. Dick Gabouri and
Don Nelson finished fast to place
two-three behind Smith.
The second 50-lap race went to
Porter who grabbed the lead at
the half-way mark and built up a
big lead over Jerry Watts, who
was second. Fred Golliday, driving
a noisy GMC job placed third and
Dick Braniff was fourth.
A field of 30 cars timed in for
the event with half of them start
tog each of the long races. Anoth
er huge crowd, estimated at 2,300
was on hand. i
Porter beat Smith and Golliday
in the "A" trophy dash, and Ken
ny Dean beatHopp in the "B"
Dash. "
The meet terminated auto rac
ing for Salem until Sunday after
noon. Sept 7, when so-called "In
dianapolis-type" racing cars will
compete on Lone Oak oval at the
State Fairgrounds.

Today
Thompson in Hill Nod
Over Francis; Oldies,
Bishop in Fine Show
v By AL LIGHTNER
Statesman Sports Editor
Deeply saddened by the tragic
death of their president Don
Young, earlier in the day, and
looking the part both at bat and
afield, the Salem Senators dropped
their second straight tussle to the
Yakima Bears at Waters Field last
night this time 3 to 0 to go along
side the 3-1 setback of Friday.
The Yak pitching in the two
games has stifled the Salem's with
nine hits, all singles.
Certainly a much better ball
club than one staggering around
in the second division of the WI
League standings, the Bears now
find themselves but one game
back of the Salems' hold on fourth
place. And unless the locals can
shake their woeful hitting slump
in today's series-ending pair,
they'll no longer be residents of
the league's blue-blood fraternity
by nightfall.
Reasons for Change
Today's bill is to be played at 2
p.m., instead of the usual 6:30
o'clock for two reasons: (1) Boss
Hugh Luby didn't want to inter
fere with tiie airing of the Ameri
can Legion Junior Baseball game
at Hastings tonight, which is to
be carried play-by-play over
KOCO at 6:30 o'clock, and (2) he
wanted to get an early jump to
Vancouver where the Senators
open a series Monday night.
Perhaps playing under the
bright light in two today will be
what the suddenly punchless Sa
lems need. It's a cinch they can
do no worse in run production
than they've thus far managed
with the Bears.
Tall Jack Thompson spun up
last night's headache, a snappy
five-hitter during which he was
never in any real danger. Two of
the hits were flukes in that they
bounced crazily over infielders'
heads. Another was a blooper to
center. The only really well tag
ged wallop was produced by Bill
White in the second inning when
he sent a smoking liner over Ernie
Schuerman's head at shortstop.
Twin Killings Hart
The Salems failed to get a run
ner as far as third base all night
and two Yakima double killings
made the No. 2 bag a rather dis
tant target for the resident crew.
Bud Francis was the loser de
spite pitching well enough to de
serve his eighth win of the season.
As it was he absorbed loss No. 3.
Thompson now has a 12-14 record.
Bud was scored on in the first
inning, after walking Earl Rich
mond, wild pitching him to second
and giving up a single to Jerry
Zuvella. Bill Spaeter's throw from
right field came within a singed
eyelash of nailing Richmond at
the plate.
It was 1-0 until the seventh
when Ken Richardson dented the
left field fence with a double, Mike
Donahue singled to center, scoring
Richardson, and Richmond later
singled in Donahue. This was
Francis lone bad inning.
Francis yielded seven hits, whif
fed three and walked five. Thomp
son fanned five, walked four.
Bob Collins (10-9) and Vince
DiBiasi (4-5) are to pitch today's
pair, against Bob Savage (5-4)
and Chuck Donley (1-3).
The Portland Old Timers, with
the once great Sylvester Johnson
of St Louis Cardinals fame doing
mighty effective flinging, won the
two-inning exhibition game with
the Salem Oldsters, 5-0, before the
regular tussle. Biddy Bishop, hurl
lng for the Salems, couldn't get
his "spitters" over too welL and
when he did the Portlands whack
ed 'em good. Bishop's support left
quite a bit to be desired also.
Johnson, Moose Clabaugh, Harry
Rice. Wes Schulmench. Ray El
liott Vince Pesky, Deacon Van
Buren, Lee Fallin. Tom Holm an.
bene vandeneynde, Ted Norbert,
Billy Sullivan and numerous
others were among the oldsters.
Famous magico Billy' Bishop's
pre-game act was a distinct wow,
He did the Hindu "rope trick."
lulled a hat from a rabbit and
amazed everyone with his ability
to escape from a severe trussing

uano lxxuziani.
