Mayflower Milk, 10-4, to open the
loop's second round of action. In
other games Kay Woolens whip
ped the Fire Department, 13-6,
and the Post Office Clerks nipped
Keizer Electric, 5-4.
Tom Burgher furnished the big
blow for the YMCA victory, a
homerun with two men aboard in
a crushing six-run second inning.
The victory put the YM nine a
half-game up on Commercial Seat
which was idle Monday night
Keizer Electric lost a two-run
margin to the -Postmen and fail
ed to match another two-run ral
ly in the eighth to absorb their
ninth licking of the season in an
overtime mix. Two singles and a
pair of miscues chased in the two
tie-breaking runs for the Clerks
in the extra frame. F. Clayton
opened the Keizer half with a
homerun but Lebold got the next
three out to save the game. Each
team suffered relapses afield,
sharing ten errors.
In the Woolen-Firemen mix two
homeruns helped the victors on
their way to triumph No. 6 of
the season. Meir slapped one in
the second inning with one man
on and Frei led on the fifth frame
with the big clout Best inning
for the Woolens was the fifth
when they counted four runs. Two
singles and a double accounted
for the rest of the runs. Nine er

Tiges Keenly Interested in Marshall
1
Folks who remember young Jim Marshall as the promising;
and hard-hitting first sacker for the Wenatchee Chiefs a few;
seasons back will be interested in knowing that the Detroit
Tigers are extremely high on the boy as he performs daily foe
the Oakland Oaks. Fact is, there's strong talk that hell move to;
the Tiges in a $100,000 deaL If he does go up, hell be but one;
of many who have used the good or WIL as a stepping stone
to the big show . . . Not nice to mention Spokane around Bill
(Bull) Brenner, the Lewis ton boss. The knuckle-bailer had lost
but six games all season, five to Spokane. (Mebbe the Senators
can change that some more this week, inasmuch as they play
the Broncs in seven straight games) . . . Speaking of Brenner,
there should be a laff or two involved when he's presented witb
a goose (featured species) at home plate here Friday night by
Senators Prexy Bruce Williams . . . And has anyone yet capt
tared the skunk we'd like to present to one Edo Vanni next
time he drops in? ... I
Seems to be quite a flock of questions concerning the current
attendance at Waters Field, as compared to what it was at the sajne
time a year ago. In looking over the books, the figures are almost
identical for this date. Wrhich means that if the 1953 patronage
keeps up at its present rate, the club will come close to the 100,000
figure for a total.
But then on the gloomier side, the current figure as compared
to that of the same date in 1951, the big year in which a record
112,285 was reached here, is just about 14,000 less ...
All Free, Givents-Y ou-Like Night Coming
Whether it will be a big boost for attendance remains to
be seen. But club directors are toying with an idea tried at
Wenatchee earlier this season, that of letting everyone in for
free one night, but having large receptacles at all entrances
with the invitation to those passing by that they toss in any
thing they wish, so long as it's cash. Well over 3,000 filled the
Wenatchee park the night it was tried there, and when the
donations were counted the club directors were pleased to note
C .
that they would have had around 2,100 paid admissions ha
they gone via the regular admission channels.
Conseauentlv. should the gimmick be tried here
most certain that it will be sometime in August the occasion
should amount to the equivalent of a paid crowd of 3,000 or more
We like to think that we can do at least that much better? in

Yakima walloped Calgary with a
football-type score of 19-12 in a
merry-go-round mix at Calgary.
Art Worth was the key to vic
tory for. the high-riding Indians.
His homerun in the top of the
ninth proved to be the decisive
blow, and though in constant
trouble, be proved to be the win
ning pitcher. The T y e e s who
couldn't get the punch when
they needed it most left 15 men
stranded on the bases. Teh of
them were put there on Worth's
walks.
Bill Sheets put Spokane into
the lead for the first time in the
sixth when he led off with a
home run. The Indians had to
come from behind a 4-0 deficit
with a pair of tallies in the third
and fourth innings. Bill Bottler
went the distance for the losers,
giving, up only seven hits includ
ing Worth's crucial circuit rap.
The Capilanos could collect
only four hits in their tangle with
the Braves but turned three of
them into a three-run first inning
which was cushion enough for
Ronnie Myers. The Caps had to
wait until the eighth inning for
their fourth and final hit The
winning run galloped in the fifth
as the result of a series of mis
cues by Ray and Len Tran.
Seven home runs over Calgaryts

AMARILLO. Tex. ( Eddie
Locke, who has pitched and won
two double-headers but has gained
as much fame with his hitting as
his pitching, has Amarillo looking
up in the West Texas-New Mexi
co League.
Eddie's a 24-year-old Negro who
joined the Gold Sox six weeks ago
and proceeded to perform such
feats as winning four games in
one week, hitting two grand slam
homers in one game while driving
in 10 runs and clouting two home
runs in a single inning.
He has won 10 games while los
ing four as a pitcher. He is hitting
.413 while playing in 30 games,
going to the outfield when not
hurling. He pitches righthanded,
bats left.
Amarillo was in last place when
it bought Locke from Yakima,
Wash., of the Western Internation
al League.
He beat Borger 15-5 in his first
appearance. Three; days later he
got credit for a 21-9 victory over
CIovls by pitching the final four
and two-thirds innings. Then three
days later he licked league-leading
Lubbock 8-4 and 7-0 in a double-
header.
The Gold Sox have moved up to
six place in the standings and if
Eddie's health remains good might
get into the playoffs.
He's such a sensation that a na

of him for a week starting Friday.

His latest iron man stunt was

hits in both games.
He has pitched 121 innings, struck
out 83 and walked only 24. His
batting record is 29 hits in 55 times

outfielder has compiled one of the
best hitting records in the senior
circuit ."V
Through Sunday's games, Irvin

He also had blasted 16 home runs

romed off Miksis -leg, causing him
to be out automatically.

ready had two hits, dropped what
looked like a Texas League looper
into right field. But Don Thompson
scooped it up and his throw beat
Kiner to second base.
Joe Garagiola blasted a pitch
high over the right field screen
foul by 10 feet then lined to first
to end the game.
