. After a vacation lay-off, we returned to town and were happy

' top softball flingers in the post

Before getting Rawlins : to JIM RAWLINS

Continues to be a puzzler to many why Quinn's tr spat

year. Margin for error in doing
this stunt is so small that the
slightest miscue on the part of
the driver will bring instant dis

L Ronspie Gets 13th; -
Salems Now on Road
By AL LIGHTNER j
Statesman Spores Editor
' Having turned somewhat tor
rid again after a lapse of over a
week, the town Senators last
night knocked over the Wenat
chee Chiefs twice again, 4-2 and
7-2, to creep to within a scant
three- percentage points of the
WI League leading Spokane Indians.-
The Indians were idle
again Sunday while the, Salems
made merry at" the expense of
the Chiefs.
Thus in taking two straight
doubleheader victories, the Sena
tors nabbed the series from Wen
atchee 4-1 and for the completed
season against Mike McCormick's
youthful Hock it reads eight wins
for Salem, six for the Chiefs.
The Senators left right after
last night's pair for Vancouver
where they open a series tonight
The club- will return to Waters
Field next sunaay mgni 10 piay
the Silverton Red. Sox in the an
nual game here.
Spectacled Joe Nicholas and!
Gene Roenspie, the 1-2 punch of
the Salem mound corps, teamed
to check the Chiefs brilliantly in
the Sabbath pair. Nick went the
seven-inning first game, yielded
only four hits, and racked up his
19th victory of the campaign. He
needs only one more to tie the
alHime Salem Senator record for
a pitcher in a single season.
Roenspie followed up in the
nine-inning nightcap with a fye
hitter for his 13th triumph.
In the meantime the Salems
weren't exactly getting rich in
the base-hit department off Char
ley Beamon and Keith Bowman,
as the resident crew gleaned only
six bingles off the Negro right
hander in the first game, and six
more off the youthful Bowman
in the nightcap.
Nicholas went 0-2 behind in the
first inning of his mix, as husky
little Harry (Kalijah) Bartolomei;
muscled a Nicholas curve over the
right field wall with Jerry Green,
who had walked, aboard.
That was all the Chiefs were
to get, however, as Nicholas held
them to three hits thereafter.
The Senators gottwoin their
portion of the first also, on a
walk. Gene TansellKs single, a
run-producing single by Connie
Perez and a force-play by Jimmy
Deyo, which drove in the other.
Deyo's single, Les Wither
spoon's double and Jerry Ballard's
ground-out brought across an
other Salem run in the third,
and then in the sixth the Sena
tors tallied again on a walk, an
error, Chuck Essegian's theft of
third base and Dick Sabatini's
fly to right '
Nicholas whiffed five, walked
Tour.
After three, innings of the
nightcap the score might have
read Wenatchee 0, Perei 4. The
moonfaced Cuban third sacker,
coming out of his long slump,
drove in a first-inning run with
a ground-out after two walks and
a double steal, and then in the
third with Sabatini and Deyo on
bases, he poled 'his 11th homer
of the season over the right field
wall.
The Senators got three more in
the fifth, Les Witherspoon lash
ing a single with the bases loaded
for two, and Ballard flying out to
right for the third.
Roenspie had a sharp curve
working for him, but ran afoul a
walk and consecutive triples by
Tom Munoz and Jake Helmuth
in the sixth for the two tallies
scored off him. Gene whiffed
seven, walked four. Bowman
fanned four, walked six.
The attendance was 1,405,
bringing the season total for
league games to 70,390. . . . Esse-
gian will be lost to the club for
a day or two, as he takes his GI
physical in Portland today. He's a
cinch to be nabbed, what with his
Adonis-like physique and back
ground. . .".

Harper, the 39-year-old potting
demon from Portsmouth; Va., had
satisfied a gallery of about 10.000
around the final hole that he was
champion by planting a second shot
two feet from the cup for a cinch
birdie 3.
This great closing effort gave
Harper a 36-3470 and a 72-hole
total of 279. nine under -par.
Playing right behind was Wor
sham, the 1947 U.S. open titlist
fromh Oakmont, Pa. "The Chin,
as he is known to his colleagues,
had birdied the 375-yard 17th with
a cool seven foot putt for 3 and
needed another birdie on the last
hole to tie Harper.
Wedge Used
Worsham slammed a tremendous
drive on the 410-yard final hole.
As the crowd swarmed around him,
Worsham drew out a wedge, look
ed at the hole 140 yards away, and
laid into the bail.
While the throng stood in awe,
the ball sailed to the front of the
long green, covered about 30 feet
on three bounces and curled into
the hole.
"It was the luckiest shot I ever
had in my life," smiled Worsham,
who was the first round leader with
65. then drifted to 72-73 the next
two trips. "I'm sorry I had to do it
to my mend Harper.
Old - timers agreed that Wor
sham's payoff wedge shot must
rank with the greatest of tourna
ment finishes.
That one shot was worth $15,000
the difference between the first
prize of 525,000 and $10,000 for sec
ond.
"I've been playing tournament
golf more years than I care to
remember," said veteran Dutch
Harrison, "but never have I seen
anything so dramatic as Worsbam'i
finish."
