Rod Province, the former Salem High athlete, has been a mem
ber of the Seattle Ramblers semi-pro football team for the past two
seasons . . . Rod plays an end slot and now hits the scales at a
whopping 230 . . . The Ramblers
are perhaps the strongest inde
pendent team in the Northwest
and indulge in a schedule of
around 15 games each year ...
Province took a crack at pro base
ball for a couple of years after
building a hot hill reputation as
a Vik. But he has now turned his
back on the diamond sport . . .
Things may not be as gloomy
grid-wise at Willamette as was
first pictured. True, there are
many gaps, but Ted Ogdahl also
has some mighty good looking
freshmen among his crop. Includ
ed are several Poitlanders who
competed in the Shrine game . . .
No releases of names yet pot un

That's because some other and
bigger schools might get ideas
Portland's Beavers again show
a good "kick" in the stretch.
Good enough to put 'em within
It is the pitching that has done it for the Bevos. Give them a
couple of real long bailers next season and they might have them

Butler $ Gem Most Rare in Baseball World
The perfect game tossed by Lewiston's Rich Butler the
other night against Spokane is the first in organized baseball
this season and as far as we know, the only one in a number
of years, anywhere . . . The odds against a piece of classic per
'fection like this are tremendous . . . Bloop hits, slow rollers,
walks, hit batsmen all are threats to a "perfecto" . . . But But
ler ran the 27-man gauntlet untouched . . .
Add to the types inhabiting Lone Oak track these afternoons:
Those who greet the ending of every race with broad smiles, wait
eagerly for the payoffs to show on the tote board, then march down
to the pay windows . . . That happens in nine out of ten races and
others nearby wonder with awe how this particular type does it and

In for Title
Salems Drop Finale;
Broncs Bow to Vies
It will be the Salem Senators
vs. the Spokane Indians in the
Western International League
playoffs, same starting at Spo
kane Thursday night.
The Indians last night won
the second half of the -pennant
race by backing in. They lost 3-2
in 11 innings to Tri-City. But
Bill Brenner's Broncs, needing
only to beat lowly Victoria, lost
by a 10-9 count as Brenner
tossed almost his entire, and be
dragged, pitching staff into the
fray. Brenner himself was the
loser.
Playoffs Open Thursday
The first three games of the
playoff will take place in Spo
kane Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday nights. The 4-of-7 series
will then shift to Salem for the
remaining games, first one start
ing at Waters Field next Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Business Manager Deke Walker
of the Senators announced last night
that no reserved seat tickets will
go on sale for the playoffs here.
"Regular admission prices will be
in effect, on a first-come-first-served
basis." Walker reported.
The Senators, first half champs,
lost 2-1 to Yakima last night in
their final game at Yakima and
wound up a fading sixth in the
second half chase. Team follow
ers are now wondering if the Sol
ons can get up enough steam to
make an argument of -the playoff
with Manager Don Osborn's Tribe.
Roenspie Loses Bid
Gene Roenspie, who took over
for Bob Collins in the sixth in
ning, tried for his 20th win of
the season, but got his fifth loss
instead. The winning run came off
Roenspie in the sixth after Salem
had tide it in the top half of the
same frame.
A walk to Bob Wellman and
Herman Lewis' double to center
wrecked Roenspie. Two walks by
Danny Rios, winning pitcher, and
an error on Don Masterson's
grounder netted the only Salem
run. Each team had six hits.
Collins twirled the first five
heats and was lifted for a pinch
hitter during the sixth.
Caps Win Pair
In other final games last night
Vancouver took a doubleheader
win from Wenatchee, 2-0 and 9-8,
to finish the season with nine
straight victories and in third
place, and Calgary spanked Ed
monton, 10-9, beating John Con
ant K. Chorlton had two homers
for Vancouver.
Victoria rattled 20 hits off four
Lewiston pitchers, with Dwaine Hel
big banging out four. Bill Prior, sec
ond Tyee flinger, was the winner,
relieving Zeb Walker.
The Lewiston pitching staff,
worked to a frazzle in recent weeks,
just couldn't hold up under the
strain.
Ernie Hockaday's error let in two
Spokane runs at Tri-City, but he
later singled home the tying tally
in the ninth and scored the winner
in the eleventh.
Spokane finished one full game
(seven percentage points) ahead of
Lewiston for the second half flag.

Decision Over Charles
PHILADELPHIA to Young
Harold Johnson of Philadelphia
won a ten-round upset decision ov
er former heavyweight champion
Ezzard Charles in a bruising,
slashing, action-packed brawl at
Connie Mack Stadium Tuesday
night
Johnson, a 2-1 underdog, weigh
ed 177 and Charles 183 hi.
The 23-year-old lightheavyweight
making his first big-time boxing
bid. was awarded a split-decision
with - Judge Lou Tress awarding
him the bout, seven rounds to
three, and Referee Buck McTier
nan scoring him a six-three-one
victor. Judge Joe Capristo saw
Charles the winner with a 5-4-1
verdict. The Associated Press
carded the battle 5-3-2 for John

Johnson into the forefront of chal

Lindsey Wins
Battle Royal
Burly Luther Lindsey, the
ebony powerhouse and, growing
more popular with every Salem
appearance, last night emerged
winner of the "Ladies Night" bat
tle royal at the Armory. He was
given the nod over tough and
rugged old Red Vagnone in the
final mix, after Vagnone had
rammed Luther's head against a
ring turnbuckle and flattened
him.
Not satisfied with having
scored quite an upset, the Calgary
carrot-top took another poke at
Lindsey after the falL Referee
Doug Donnan then reversed the
decision and gave the whole she
bang to Luther. Lindsey didn't
want it that way he wanted to
resume action. But that's the way
it stood, climaxing a rousing
tussle.
In the semiwindup Johnny
Henning and Irish Jack OTtiley
squabbled to a lively draw, and
in th. nnonint? mix The Ram
downed Vittorio Ochoa.
The battle royal itself saw
Paul DeGalles eliminated first,
followed by Greg Jarque. Vag
none and O'Riley then teamed ud
on Henning and Lindsey, finally
knocking out the. former. Lindsey
had the two toughies to face
alone, but managed to knock
O'Riley into tripping over Vag
none, setting him up for a quick
pin. It was so quick in fact that
O'Riley bellered to the ref
about it
That left Lindsey and the bald
ing Vagnone as finalists. Neither

Layne in 6th
At Salt Lake
SALT LAKE CITY VP) Earl
Walls of Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, weathered Rex Layne's
savage rushing through early
rounds and knocked out the Salt
Lake City battler in the sixth
round Tuesday night at Fair

The 190ya -pound Layne, look

recent fights, was far ahead of
his 186Mt-pound opponent at the
end of the fifth round.
J3ut at the start of the sixth.
Rex went down for a brief count
before a sharp right to the jaw.
As Layne arose, plainly in trou

Walls measured him for another
right and a left, and Rex went
down in a neutral corner. But he
got up, quickly.
The Canadian then floored him
again with a left to the jaw, and
Rex, befuddled, went down slow

counted out at 1 minute, 43 sec
