Briton'll Fight Free For Chance at Title LONDON (J) Jake Tuli, rit ish Empire flyweight champion, wants to fight Yoshio Shirai of Japan; world flyweight king, bad ly enough to do the job for free. Tuli's manager, Jim Wicks, has made an offer to Jack Solomons, London promoter, and Reg King, Nottingham promoter, for Tuli to meet Shirai and win-lose-or-draw claim no purse just so the fight is for Shirai's world title. Templeman Eyes fulainer Win in Local illidget6 He's not been able to ring the main event victory bell in three tries this season, but Shorty Templeman has high hopes that the slump he's in will end here Saturday night.

Yet Templeman last year not only had his swift Offenhauser powered mount painted green, but wore a green uniform to boot! Templeman hasn't been able to win a single main event in any of the three midget cards he's raced on this season. Perhaps it's the green car, perhaps not. At any rate he'll be among those present at Hollywood Bowl Saturday night when the roaring runts roll forth in their first 1953 Salem appearance. On hand also will be Len Sut ton, Gordy Livingston, Jerry Lundquist, Bob Gregg and Bill Hyde, among others, who have been doing much better than somewhat in midget racing this season. Sutton now leads the Ore gon Midget Auto Racing driving point standings for Offenhausers, and Livingston has the lead for the Fords. Twenty-five of the midgets will be in the Saturday action. Trophy dashes, heat races and main events will be in double portions throughout the night, one of the Offies, the other for the Fords. They don't compete against one another any more.

He must win his share of the ball games to hold his job, and knows it He's been trying just as hard as the others, and even his most severe critics will agree to that Bev- is throwing just as hard as ever this year, but the ball just isn't going as fast as it used to. The big guy lias been 1st it a long time, having started oat professionally back in 1937 in the NY Yankee chain after the late Frisco Edwards rarsed him along as a green kid flinger. This could be the year that it ends. la all fairness to Bill and the effort he's -given to baseball, let's hope that he still has enough to stay eat the season and prove again to those who would have him hang that, they should have kept their months ' shut... . .. i . - Personnel for 1940 Senators Club I t Fan writes in and wants to know names and positions of the personnel on the first Senators ball club of 1940. "You wrote of Bucky Harris' having hit the Bishop's Clothing Scoreboard in cen ter field," he elaborated. " so please print the names and positions for hte other players on that year's team." Catchers were Johnny Williams and Cliff Barker. Williams was up from San Diego on option and was a good hitter but a so-so re ceiver. Barker was a young rookie from the Portland sandlots. Pit chers included Sidearmer Bud Brewer, Lefty Roy Helser, Olie Soin ila, Hal Clemence, Del Oliver and Gene Fehter. Brewer Won 20 and Helser 15. Harris was the first baseman most of the time, but did play some outfield. Bobby Baer was the second baseman, until he got into a hassle with Gen. Mgr. Biddy Bishop and got him self fired despite hitting .340 at the time. Blanager Bunny Grif fiths, the "Little Skipper" as Ron Gemmell used to call him, was the shortstop. ,We were the third baseman for 89 games, and we doubt if there has been a worse one to adorn the local premises since. We played 59 other games at first base and a few in the outfield. Steve Coscarart was the left fielder, Eddie Wilson was in center and Moose Clabaugh played right that is, until he got into the same hassle Baer did and also got released. Moose was belting a cool .320 at the time. Charley Petersen was the general handy man on the club. Freddie Knoll came in from San Diego to play second after Baer left, and Petersen took over a regular outfield spot when Clabaugh de . parted. Not unlike the current club, there was plenty of batting pot ential, but the pitching had jxo depth. In solid second place during the early going, the '40 Senators slipped and fell to a fifth place finish after Baer and Clabaugh were cut ...
