Friday Aug. 21, 1953 , This. that, etc: v I strained relation! between the two southern Oregon colleges at Ashland and Klamath Falls definitely exist, for despite how dose they are cn a mileage basis, they're not playing one another in football this year. That 83-0 bombardment dished out to Dr. Alexander Peterson Jr. and his SOCE Red Raiders last semes ter no doubt had much to do with existing conditions ; . . . No annual Waters Field game with the Portland Beavers this year. Mgr. Clay Hopper of the Bevos, trying to land his club in third place in the PCI says he has 26 games in 20 days with an "old and tired" team. Con sequently, be nixes the Salem Portland mix here. Said mix in turn costs each ball club from $1,500 to $2,000 in gate receipts, an item that would make one George N or gan turn a flip-flop if he were to hear of it . . , The Senators will try to augment their finan cial status next Monday night with another exhibition eame. this one at Eugene with Roy Helser's Drain 'Black Sox, champs of the Southwest Oregon Semipro or "Sawdust" League. The Black Soxers have a number of former Solon players, including Helser, Bill. Beard, Gene Peterson, Glenn Stetter, Dick Bartle, Lou Scrivens, ete . . . Senator club followers of the prewar era will be interested to know that the Sawdust Circuit's Coquille entry lists a Bill Johnson as second baseman. He's the same tow-headed slugger of the 1942 Salem club, playing third base that season. He was sold to Louisville, and that's the last most local folks have heard of him until he bobs up in the semipro loop . . . Big Len Younce, Oregon State's capable line coach in town for a visit, tells that another Bill Johnson, this one the lad who f ootballed at Salem High, before enrolling at OSC, "is one of the finest guards I've ever coached." Younce and Boss Kip Taylor are expecting big things of Bill the coming season, and he'll be playing both offen sive and defensive time under the new rules setup . . . Village Has Shrine Game Representation Nice to see that the village will be represented in Satur day's Shrine football classic at Portland, an item that hasn't oc curred often enough in the past five prep touchdown giganties. Big George Meyers, a fair to middlin' tackle for Lee Gustaf son's Vik Villa gang last season, and one of Hank Juran's outstanding wrestlers, is a first-line for the Up-Staters in Sat urday's benefit show . . . Kid Matthews got beat in his battle with British Champ Don Cockell, but Jack Hurley's athlete beat him decisively in the purse distribution. Cockell got $18,000 as his end, which amounts to around 4,562 pounds,, 47 shillings, two quid and a sixpence. Matthews' cut came to around $27,00035 per cent of the net gate of $77,000. So Hur ley was wrong when he screamed that his fighter wuz robbed. Both Bill Brenner at Lewiston and Don Osborn at Spokane are in favor of a movement which would cast Calgary from the WI League next season, if something isn't done about that awful ball park there. Other managers, including H. Luby, feel the same way" ... As for Skipper Gene Li Hard of the Stampeders, he told during bis last visit here that he wouldn't go back to Calgary next year even if they elected him mayor of the windblown, dustbitten joint ; .'. . p - Sammy Baker, Oregon State football whiz now 'with the Washington Redskins has picked up the nickname "Ace Baker, and perhaps because Curly La in beau of the 'Skins has found in him something that was overlooked by the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams traded Baker off to Washington awhile for rights on a future draft pick, a move that created quite a Stir around Los Angeles! pro grid circles. ' Los Angeles Times writer Jack Geyer wrote of the former Oregon Stater: "This 5-foot, 2-inch, 210-pounder was one of the Pacific Coast Conference's finest backs during his college career. He was selected on virtually every all-opponent and all-Coast team during his three varsity years, and three times his team mates voted him Oregon State's most valuable player. "Baker was not a specialist, operating both defensively and offensively. In his senior year, he was the squad's best runner, best punter, best blocker and best tackier. It's a shame he didn't play on a winning team, for he would have been a cinch Ail-American at Michigan State, Notre Dame or any other top club. J "In one of his appearances at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Bak er was such a standout that one pressbox onlooker described the Beavers as being composed of 'one Baker and 10 fry cooks'.' The LA Rams will get a chance to see if they blew one in swapping off Baker, for; the Rams and Redskins will meet before the season is over. Beavers Lose Third Straight To Suds; Stars, Seals Victors SEATTLE UR The reviving Rai niers of Seattle won their third straight Pacific Coast League base ball game from Portland Thursday night, defeating the Beavers, 8-1. Seattle got away to a. two-run lead which clinched the game in the first inning. Jack Tobin was safe on an error, went to third op Alex Garbowski's double and heme on Leo Thomas' grounder. 'Garbowski scored when Clarence Maddern singled to left. j Portland got its lone counter in the second when Don Eggert walked and successive singles by Eddie Basinski and Jay Heard brought him home. j ; In other Coast games Thursday the leading Hollywood Stars topped Oakland 7-3 as Jim Mar shall knocked in all the Stars' runs with a pair of homWrs.

' The Salem Senators topped Tri-City 9-5, crept to within half a game of the WI League leading Spokane Indians and learned a valuable lesson last night at Waters Field. The win was compara tively easy, amounting to Gene Roensple's 16th of theseason, against but three losses. The full-game gain on the suddenly sagging Tribe was made possible by Lewiston's third straight victory ever the Spokes. The lesson: It seems that you can't give baseball away free to tne waters rieia customers tney apparently want to pay xor it. . T n( waa ti Xmm.1r . the Park" gesture aimed at jam ming the stands with the biggest crowd of the season. There was no admission and all gates Were open to the public. Yet only about 2,000 showed up for the game, which left club directors looking att one another in amazement Just how much the 2,000 pitched into the conveniently placed barrels wont be known until today, as officials were still counting the piles of money at an early hour this morning. They wouldn't so much as dare a guess, but noticed that the great majority of those who filed into the arena tossed various denomi nations of money into the barrels. Were one to come to a con clusion on the sparseness of the crowd, it would have to be (1) Sa lem fans dont like to battle big crowds; (2) there are just so many fans here who will go to ball games under any circum stances; (3) or those we do have prefer to pay their way into the park. Which is almost too hard to believe. At any rate, the ball game they saw last night was one that pro duced a dazzling five-run inning for the home side in the fourth, with Jimmy Deyo delivering a three-run double and Jerry Bal lard a two-run homer in it Jer ry's clout to left was his sixth four-master of the season.. These wallops knocked out Lefty Jim Hedgecock and put the ball game into the Salem satchel. Deyo had in the ' first inning tripled in a run and scored himself on Chuck Essegian's single. So it was 7-0 for Roenspie to work on after the fourth. And all seven runs were scored after two were out, Deyo and Essegian coming through splen didly in the first, and Deyo again, along with Ballard in the rousing fourth. Edo Vanni's troupe pecked away at the breezing Roenspie in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth heats, scoring all their runs on 12 hits. But. the cushion the Salems had built up by adding two more fifth inning tallies off Reliefers Ken Michael son on a double by Les Wither spoon; Roenspie's run-producing single and a bases-loaded walk to Deyo was too much to over come for the Braves. Salem copped the series here 2-1 and tonight resume action at Tri-City in a four-game stand. The Solons rapped 13 hits off Hedgecock and Michaelson, five going for extra bases. Deyo. with five runs batted in was the No. 1 producer for Hugh Luby's lads, but both Gene Tanselli and Es segian collected three bingles. The former Stanford U star, on a batting rampage, has now hit safely seven times in his last 10 trips. With four games left to go with the Braves the win count for the season reads 15-7 for the Sen ators. Tri-City managed to win only three times in 15 tries locally . . .
