lead of the Industrial Softball lea

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
Salem than they can do in wee Wenatchee . . .

whipped Tri-City, 4-3, in a tight
pitchers' battle at Vancouver and
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
tional magazine will snap pictures
of him for a week starting Friday.
The night he hit those two home
runs in one inning one a grand
slammer Eddie pitched a 17-4 vic
tory. His very next appearance
found him clouting the two grand-
slamraers as he whipped Cums

His latest iron man stunt was
Saturday night when he beat Abi
lene 2-0 and 7-0, allowing only four
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
at the plate with seven home runs,
six doubles and a triple. -
"I'm batting about eleven Hund

through that thousand average,"

For Hit Lead
By BEN OLAN
NEW YORK UFi Even the
most ardent of New York Giant
supporters didn't look for Monte
Irvin to be in the. thick of the
National League batting race this
year.
But with the 1953 campaign al
most two-thirds gone, the veteran
outfielder has compiled one of the
best hitting records in the senior
circuit ."V
Through Sunday's games, Irvin
was in a tie with Red Schoen
dienst of the St. Louis Cardinals
for the batting lead, each with .331.
He also had blasted 16 home runs
and driven in 73 runs.
Ii. the American League, George
Kell of the Boston Red Sox set
the nace with a .333 average, seven
points higher than teammate Billy
Goodman.
Cincinnati's : Ted Kluszewski and
Ed Mathews of the Milwaukee
Braves shared the home run lead
with 28 apiece and Roy Campanel
la, the Dodger catcher, had batted
in the most runs, 81.
New York Yankee southpaw Ed
Lopat, who stopped the surging
Chicago White Sox on Sunday, was
the American League's leading
pitcher with a 10-1 record and Mil
waukee's Lew Burdette, unbeaten
in seven decisions, headed the
National.

BROOKLYN CB The Brooklyn
Dodgers survived a hectic "ninth
inning Monday night to whip the
Chicago Cubs, 3-0. The victory
stretched their National' League
lead to 3H games.
The shutout was gained although
the first four Chicago batters
reached base safely in the wild
ninth inning. ' - '
Eddie Miksis started it with a
double. Dee Tondy walked, bring
ing up Ralph Kiner and the ladies'
nicht crowd of 21,877 groaned.,
Kiner laced a sizzling grounder
toward left field but the ball ca
romed off Miksis -leg, causing him
to be out automatically.
Then Randy Jackson,- who al
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.
Brooklyn clinched it early. Roy
Campanella led off the second in
ning with his 24th home run and
the Dodgers pushed another run
home in the same frame when
Thompson stole second base and
scored on a single by Junior Gil
