, 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

the leading Hollywood Stars
topped Oakland 7-3 as Jim Mar

2,000 Watch'Roenspie Notch
16th Win; Ballard Hits Homer
, 4 ByALUCHTNER 1
Statesman Sports Editor .
' 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 . . .
