t-Th) Stcrtmoa, Schn, Oregon. Monday, Tuna IS. 19 S3 Junior-Ball Program Set to Start June 22 The annual Salem Junior Base ball Program 16 teams and 250 kids strong swings into action the week starting Monday, June 22nd. Bill Beard, president of the setup, announces that youngsters still can sign up for play at Wick lund's, the deadline having been extended. - The program includes two leagues, the B and C, with eight teams in each. The C circuit is scheduled to play on Mondays end Wednesdays and the B loop rill have it action on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Most of the games will be played at Baker Field this year, with a few set for the West Sa IMMnn9 AnDnng I With Jerry Stone . A lot of the anti-Yankee fraternity willsneer at the Bombers' current and awesome streak and call 'em lucky. True enough; luck plays its part in a victory string of these proportions . . . But you've got to have something else, too, in addition to Lady Luck and THAT item Casey Stengel's men apparently have . . . Call it com- peuuve spuril, CUI Jk auiuijr rebound from behind, call it a winning complex but, brother, those Yankees sur've got it, yes sub ... The current Yankee streak is a perfect illustration of a club that well nigh can't do anything wrong. If the hitters aren't hit ting, the pitchers are mowing down the enemy batsmen. If the hurling goes haywire, the bats men have an over-productive yield of base hits that particular game ... If Mantle or Berra, the meat of the batting order, have a bad day, little Billy Martin at the top of the batting order and Phil Rizzuto, down toward the bottom, take up the slack with a batch nf tim,1u hiu Vnrwlrc Sure, the honeymoon inevi- . BIL TJLDE . tably will end sooner or later. Active Far Beyond Peak Maybe the lowly Browns will be the ones to snap the string at Yankee Stadium Tuesday . . . But meanwhile take a look at an out fit that's a manager's delight Sure there has been some luck in volved! but not entirely. A team just can't be that consistently lucky . . . Spokane Gate Far Cry From Few Seasons Ago What, oh what is the matter with Spokane and her WI at tendance figures? It has been only a few seasons ago that the Inland Empire city set a national record for Class B attendance with something over 200,000 . . . Latest gate figures show Spo kane way down toward the bottom for the young '53 campaign with something like 15,000 up to June 1st and that includes a turnout less than a hundred for one engagement . . . The Spokes haven't been that lousy on the playing field and they haven't suffered as many rainouts as some other clubs in the loop . . . Looks sort of ominous . . . Girls softball is back in the local picture under the label r the South Salem Merchants and though the kids took a bad pasting in their opening Silver Falls League venture against Canby, don't think that s discouraged 'em. Not a bit . . . The Merchants, comprised mainly of gals just out of high school, may never.be a threat te such as the famed Portland Lind Floristsbut they carry lots of enthusiasm and they have lots of fun . . . Mel Williamson, and Dick Wilson, who brought the State prep net doubles crown to Salem High this season, plan to go after further honors in the coming Portland City Tourney and Oregon State Meet Some of the coast's best netsmen take J 1L. J -1 I TV t 111 1 Al l A Bowling Star Steve "Nagy, seen here the other day in an exhi bition, collected $1,953 in the 1952 ABC Tourney for an all-time high. So looks like there are profits to be made in the pin game . . . William Tilden II, the greatest of all tennis stars, played exhibitions almost up to the time of his recent death. Need of money doubtless forced Bill to keep swinging when he was so far past his prime and that's a heart-rending thing, indeed . . . Even then, Tilden seemed still in possession of his famed can non ball when in the exhibition at Willamette a couple years ago ... Matthews Better Slam-Bang Foe This Time The third chapter in the Kid Matthews-Freddie Beshore epic comes off at Portland Tuesday night and unless the two have sold their souls to one another they both likely will be right glad to bring an end to the relationship after the No. 3 bout Neither car ries sufficient heft in the current ring ratings to give the other fellow much of a boost in case of a win ... - Matthews too a backward step when he was held to a draw by Freddie In their last outing. If the Kid still has hopes of going places maybe like a title shot he'd best paste Beshore . but .nick Tuesday night . . . A look into the khaki ranks: We hear that Doug Logue, the former WU hoop great is now in Korea in a signal corps unit . . . Daryl Girod, a contemporary of Logue's as a 'Cat hoopster, is at Camp Roberts, Calif., training for cadre work and Mike Glenn, at one time prominent in Vik and Bearcat pitching circles, also is at Roberts but soon will head for Officers Candidate School . . . Portland has a completely equipped park for Little League baseball. Grandstand, fences, scoreboard. The real thing on a miniature scale ... In matter of playing fields for the kids in our sewn, we now have around six and that still isn't actually sufficient. Fields available are Baker, Phillips and two each at Olinger and Leslie. Waters Park, of course, is occasionally avail able . . . Some of you skeptics who think brains dont mix with brawn might note that Backfielder John Wilson of Michigan State recently was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship ...

It was the first district setback for Oregon City, considered previous ly as the one big threat to an other Salem title. The only scoring the visitors could do against Loy was a sin gle tally in the opening frame that was helped by an error. . The locals opened up with three; runs in the first inning pn a collection oi wanes, a passea ball and an error and widened their! margin with a pair in the second off singles by Larry Springer and Mike Campbell, a double steal and a walk.

(AP Wirephoto to start a four-game campaign Friday eve. Several features have been scheduled for the Yakima series, topped by the annual and big Elks Night, slated for Thursday. The local lodge is working all out to make it one of the big nights on the Salem schedule. A highlight of the Tuesday night opener with the Bears will be a race on the base paths be tween the Senators' Milt Smith and Herman Lewis, speedboy for Yakima. The two are rated among the fastest men in the WI. Wednesday night the Salem Legion junior team plays Mill City in a 6:30 prelim to the Sa-lem-Yak game. Hugh Luby's Senators current ly are only a few points above Edmonton in the third place slot in the loop. They hope to im prove their position against a Yakima club that rests in last place. r Lefty Dave Dahle, recently ac quired by Salem, is expected to be on hand for the Yakima open er and may get the starting nod. Shakiness in the field and on the base paths hurt the Senators no end as they dropped five of seven games at Calgary and Ed monton. The hope is that, being back on home soil, the club will get back into the form displayed in the last home stand. Tuesday night's game will fol low the Smith-Lewis race, which is set for 8 o'clock.
