I I V W 1 Sunday sorties: f From the looks of the way in which he's been conducting him self at bat thus far this season, Les Withers poon has turned out to be not another Andy Anderson, as it was feared he inight, but a good investment for the Senators instead. The big guy is defin itely a better ballplayer in all departments than he was supposed to nave been wnen ine aeaaiar landed him. and the club now ElKs Divoters v v ,-,:-r:-. BOB DRILLING Senators missed him of at long last has a lad who can pLvrter the long, authoritative balL Incidentally, Withersoon will soon have his family with him here, his wife and four kiddies from Deland, ,Fla. . . . New first baseman Joe C lardy, whose addition to the club moves Les off the initial bag and into the outfield, is by no means, a green pea in basebalL He's 25 and had a whoonins bis season with Las Vegas of the Class C South- west International loop in 1952. Fourteen home runs, 22 triples and 33 doubles, plus 103 runs batted in would indicate Clardy can hit His doubles, triples and RBI marks surpass those com piled by Withers poon in the same league last season, and Clardy's .346 batting average wasn't too m Ka a lAarf nt hoin VmiWnilv Nn all we need are a couple cood Ditchers and another hitting outfielder. , . .

McShain Looks a Lot Like Max Baer Speaking of the rassiers, Tuesday nlghters of this week will see in Danny McShain a gent who is almost a dead ringer for Maxie Baer, former world heavy boxing champ. McShain isn't nearly as hefty as Baer at 198 pounds. Bat his facial features do resemble those of the one-time playboy of the ring, the guy who was noted around the world for his "million dollar body and ten-cent head" ... One of the more amazing accomplishments in athletics in these parts is owned by Bill MeArthur, the OCE football and track coach. It isnt of Bill's coaching feats that we write, even though he has proved himself many tunes over as a thoroughly capable I mentor. MeArthur is also a real sharpie at handball and golf, and when riven the opportunity can show you a few stunts on a diving board. Of coarse there are many others who can play good handball and golf, and who can do one-and-a-halfs, gainers, etc, off a diving board. But they have two legs. Bill has but one. He lost the other some time ago after the pro football incident in which it was so badly banged up it had to be taken off at the knee ... Ton Senators were recently all primed to make a big pitch for Bob Drilling, the Portland Beaver flinger who made the dog-house because he refused to report to Victoria last year. Boss Lnby figured Drilling might report to Salem, and was after him. But just when things looked real rosy, Drilling had a change of heart and checked in at Victoria the other day. Bob pitched for the Senators 'before he had his big 20-win sea- ton at Portland. The local dandies secured him from Yakima in a trade for Bus Sporer, you'll recall ... ' Gordon9 Real Statu May Be Soon Known g I If Freddie Hutchinson continues having his flat spots with the Detroit Tigers much longer, we should be finding out if there were anything to the story that the Detroits hired Joe Gordon as a scout only to have him standing by to take over when and if Hutch inson flopped as Tigers manager. Tis said that Gordon is getting no less than $25,000 per year for his role of western slope scouting chief. Which is an astronomic figure for that type of work, and one that (would have bystanders believing that Gordon is being counted upon to do much more for the Detroit organization that beaf the bushes for playing talent ... f One good reason why the Keizer merchants have taken one third sponsorship of the Salem American Legion Juniors could be blamed on Pete Pederson, operator of the popular drive-in bean ery near the Keizer schooL Pete has long been a real booster for kid sports in Salem, and Twink Pederson, the classy little second sacker on Vince Genua's Capital Posters happens to be his son . . . We understand also that the new Berg's Market going up in the Keizer area will be the sponsor for the kids' Salem Junior Baseball team of that sector ...

The other sees Don Spillman, local evan gelist, trading strokes with Dus ty Woods, sharpie from McMinn ville an dthe meet medalist Brande goes into today's ac tion as a slight favorite over Ellis, but the latter might pull a sur orise. Ellis carries a darkhor label, having pulled several up sets in getting as far as the semis. Brande has twice got as far as the finals in the big tour ney, but has yet to notch the title.
