ttatoi?sr Si7p)" Another Tilt Slated Tonite Briggs Racks No. 9, 4-1 After 8-7 Nod By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor The town Senators turned Sun day's sunny afternoon into one of sheer glee at Waters Field as they spilled the aggresssive but vulnerable Wenatchee Chiefs in both ends of the doubleheader, 8-7 and 4-1. It took 10 innings to accomplish the 8-7 victory, but young Johnny Briggs needed only the regulation seven in the night cap to rack up his ninth conquest of the campaign. Now ahead in the series by a 2-1 count, the Salems will go at George (Highpockets) Kelly's spirited band in another mix to night at 7:30 o'clock, this one the makeup for Saturday night's rain out. Ted Shandor, himself a former Senator, is to hurl for Wenatchee. Ernie Domenichelli is Manager Hugh Luby's choice for the So lons. Winning the Sabbath duet amounted to quite a boost for the Senators, as in doing so they climbed from ninth to seventh in the standings and are now but two games out of fifth and three out of fourth. Luckless Lefty Tom Del Sarto had Sunday's opener all set for the Salem satchel, with a 7-4 lead in the ninth inning. But a com bination of a hit batter, a single by Dick Stacey, a walk to Tony Rivas and Lloyd Jenney's three run double to deep center tied the score. Jose Rayle had been brought in to pitch to Rivas, and was tagged for Jenny's clout after passing the second-sacker. Rayle got the next two swing ers out, and after the Salems had been checked in their portion of the ninth, despite getting two runners aboard, he again turned the foe back in the tenth. Billy Joe Waters, winner of Friday night's 6-3 game and the fifth flinger to go into action for the Chiefs in this one, got Bob Kellogg out on a liner to Rivas .to start within the Salem tenth. But then Floyd Ogden, the young never-give-up workhorse catcher smashed a sharp line drive to center. Stacey tried to shoe-string the ball, missed it, and Ogden churn ed all the way to third, sliding in with a jolt that almost tore the bag loose. Kelly' strategy was to purposely walk the bases loaded, to that a force play would be available at the plate-. Luby countered this by having Mel Krause try a squeeze bunt, which was goofed up when Mel fouled off what would have been Waters' faUl pitch. But the enemy righthander was merely ' living on borrowed time, as Krause with' two strikes grounded a single smack back through the middle to score Og den with the winner. Salem had seven runs after five innings on eight base hits, tw hit batsmen and a pair , of sacrifice flies.

I 1 4 1 . ; ' 8 The Statesman, Salem, Orecoxu Monday, June 21, 1954 By DON HARGER Weather seemed to be the big bugaboo again in last week's fishing. Winds, rain and somewhat lower than normal tempera tures for most of the week had the fishing success at a low point.

Spin fishing was a bit more productive with small wobbling spoons accounting for some good catches. Sooth of Bend the Little Deschutes and Crescent creek were rounding into good shape. Nymphs and dry flies took their toll of brown trout with 1 few rainbow tossed in for good measure. The big Deschutes below Pringle Falls was good to the spin fisherman and the troller with a couple of brown trout coming out which weighed in the neighborhood of six pounds. 'Brookies Were Caught in Big Lava Lake Big Lava lake gave up some fair catches of brook trout to the spin fishermen and the worm tosser. The brookies in Big Lava are runing to good siie this year and many of the Lava lake anglers are happy over the results of the recent poisoning and restocking Lof those waters. East lake continues to give up its share of trout with the better catches going to the single egg angler.

The Yakima Bears, obviously after the league-leading Vancouver Capilanos' high perch, cut the Caps' margin to four games Sun day by taking both ends of a West ern International League double header with the Tri-City Braves. Scores were 10-7 and 12-4 as the Yaks unloaded their batting pow er. Charley Mead hit two homers and Lonnie Summers had one for the Bears. Calgary finally won a game from Spokane, 17-8 at Calgary, but only after Spokane had taken the open er 9-1 on Bud Closs' hurling. That was Spokane's sixth straight win. Ten "homers" were hit in the twin bill. Edmonton's John Conant hurled a 2-1 win over Lewiston in the first of two games at Edmonton, but the Broncs took the sepond, 7-2.

Pitcher Johnny Beck of the Woodburns held the Salems to one hit. that by Bob Jantze in the sev enth and final inning. Beck whif fed five during his fine stint. The lone Salem marker came in the third when Catcher Bob Beals walked and then proceeded to steal second, third and home.

Another run came across in the sixth on Jim Chappie's sin gles a sacrifice and a double by Darrell McCall. Howard Seater's single, a fielder's choice, a walk and Owen's single netted the final Woodburn tallies in the seventh. The win was the second, against one loss for Woodburn.

Error Cheats Rookie Of Scoreless Start BALTIMORE UFi An error pre vented Billy O'Dell. who still has a year to go in Clemson College, from getting by without giving up a run in his first major league pitching aDpearance for the Balti more Orioles unday. The 21-year-old college junior, signed for a reported $20,000 bon us two weeks ago, worked the last inning of the first game and last two of the second in a doublehead er with the Washington Senators. He went in both times with the Orioles trailing 7-1. He wound up the first game by facing only three batters. He got out of trouble in the eighth inning of the second game, after giving up a hit and walk, by strik ing out Dean Stone, who had doubled the last time up, and forc ing Eddie Yost, who had three for four including a homer , to fly out After one was out in the ninth, Mickey Vernon singled, but. would have been erased on a double play Jim Brideweser hadn't let Jim Busby's grounder go through. Vernon went all the way to third and scored while Busby was being forced at second. O'Dell then fin ished with a flourish by striking out Tom Wright. IM 0 Yanks Favored In Wimbledon Trabert, Connolly Seen as Champions By STERLING SLAPPEY LONDON LP The big show of the tennis world the Wimbledon tournament gets under way Mon day with Americans in -the favor ite's roles for both the men's and women's titles. Tony Trabert. the No. 1 United States Davis Cup player, is ex pected to win the coveted men's singles after wading through a tough field, while Maureen (Little Mo) Connolly, now a pert miss of 19, is the heavy choice among the women. This will be a particularly im portant event for Trabert, the crew-cut Cincinnati youth. He has quit -college to concentrate on ten nis with the thought in mind of turning professional at the end of the season if he shows well. ' But this 68th edition of the venerable tournament will pose a problem, indeed, for him. If he is to go to the final on July 2, he'll have to wade through just about the entire Australian delegation with the exception of Lewis Hoad. Trabert doesn't figure to have any trouble with his first-round opponent, Paul Wooler, an English club player, when he takes the polished center court reserved for the greats of amateur tennis. But in succeeding rounds he has his work cut out for him. Both Ken Rosewall and Mervyn Rose, two extremely tough Australians, also are in his section of the draw along with Sven , Davidson of Sweden, who won the United States indoor championship last winter, and Kurt Nielsen of Den mark, who made the finals here last year. For his part, Hoad, ranked by many experts the world's No. 1 amateur, has no sinecure, either. Lew can look forward to un pleasant afternoons with defending champion Vic. Seixas of Philadel phia, the canny veteran Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, 1950 winner Budge Patty of Los Angeles, ex American champion Art Laxsen of San Leandro, Calif., and Jaroslav Drobny of Egypt, who makes a habit of winning European titles. London bookmakers have set the odds against Trabert as 6-4, while they're 8-4 against Hoad, 5-1 against Rosewall, and 8-1 each) against Larsen, Patty and Seixas. Rescue Again Given Spokane SPOKANE m The Spokane Indians baseball team was almost disbanded again Sunday, but a last-minute assist from the Van couver Capilanos and Spokane's Athletic Round Table put the team back on the road. Don Osborn, manager of the Indians, said Sunday that if the tickets for the team's train trip to Vancouver did not arrive in Calgary by noon, he would have to bring the team home, notify the parent Philadelphia Phillies, and "pull the players out". Osborn had already arranged for a bus to bring the Tribe back to Spokane after the finalCalgary game. The tickets aft-wed from Van couver, next stop for the traveling Indians, at 10:30. ' Meanwhile, Joe Albi, president of the ART, was busy rounding up money to send to the team. He dispatched $450, compliments of the ART. The Spokane club, one of the more financially troubled teams in the Western International League, has been granted a weefc of grace to raise money to continue oper ations after the league took over the club's franchise. But the fund drive, headed by the newly formed Save Spokane Indians Inc., appears bogged down with little of the estimated $40,000 needed raised to date.

Grant Rejeased By Portland 69' SACRAMENTO UFi The Port land Beavers of the Pacific Coast League Sunday released outright Charley Grant. (rant, utility infielder, has played only part-time this season because of a shoulder; injury. In 19 games this season, Grant collected nine hits, three of them homers, in 24 times at bat, for a .373 average. His Reward VWJt-Vf . Tuesday night at the ball park. In no way a promotional scheme to boost sagging attendance, the club directors feel that spontane ous action on the part of the gen eral public Tuesday night will de termine the immediate future of the ball dub. 4 They are using Tuesday night as a measuring stick, so , to speak. They want to know if general .in terest in the sport still exists here. There will be no special admission fees, no special entertainment. Consequently, if a crowd of from 4,000' to 5,000 turns out, the direc tors will konw that enough interest exists' to warrant their efforts to continue the operation. But if only half that many show up, realizing the issue at stale, the directors will take immediate steps to begin the closure cf the operation and franchise. To avoid as much of a parking problem as possible, Carl Wendt of the City Bus Lines has an nounced that he will run special baseball buses to and from the park Tuesday, free to the riding public. This is the free bus schedule: Leave Keizer at 6:45 p.m., trav eling on Commercial Street to Court and then on out State Street to 25th and the park. Leave Holly wood at 7 p.m., taking the regular Capitola bus route. Leave Engle wood at 7 p.m., traveling on Mar ket and Summer Streets and on out to the park. Leave Candalaria district at 7 p.m., traveling on South Commercial and Liberty. Leava State Hospital at 7 p.m.. traveling through the Capitol Shopping Center before swinging toward ball park. Also, two of the free buses will leave the regular Liberty & State Streets base at 6:43 and 7:15 p.m. The buses will remain at the ball park and will make return trips on the sene routes as followed ear lier. A downtown parade is to take place at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, start ing at the public library and in cluding band, police escort, fire engine, uniformed ballplayers and anyone who of his own accord wishes to enter truck, car, bus, etc. All ticket windows at the ball park will be open for business Tuesday, starting at 6 p.m. "There may be some discomfort for fans what with a possible huge crowd converging on the park," the directors add. "But we feel that if the' folks want baseball to stay here badly enough, they'll put up with it this one night."

Furgol Future In Links Play Is Uncertain By WILL GRIMSLEY SPRINGFIELD, N.J. OP The tournament future Is uncertain for National Open champion Ed Fur gol, golf's "forgotten man." After his surprising 40-to-l shot victory at Baltusrol Saturday over the game's greatest, the person able Clayton, Mo., pro was queried about impending plans. Will he play in the PGA cham pionship at St. Paul, Minn., July 21-27? "How can I?" Furgol replied. "I didn't qualify. I failed in my district." The leading pros of the open were going up to Briarcliff, N.Y., Sunday for a one-day tournament would Furgol be along? "No, sir," the successor to Ben Hogan answered." They didn't think I was good enough. I wasn't invited." Golf is going to have to make room for this lean, 37-year-old pro who overcame the handicap of a crippled left arm and numerous hardships to attain the sport's highest goal. "I don't know what my future plans are now," Furgol said. "I am not a touring pro any more. I am a club pro. I make my living by giving lessons. "I think the open champion should be an active champion. I like to play in tournaments. But whether I increase my schedule depends on the Westwood Golf Club of Clayton. There's where my first obligation lies." Furgol said he probably would compete in the All-America and world championship events at Tarn O'Shanter, just outside Chicago, Aug. 5-15. There's a $150,000 pot of gold waiting there. Furgol shot four steady rounds of 71, 70, 71 and 72 over the long par 70 course to beat 23-year-old Gene Littler of Palm Springs, Calif., by a single stroke. Littler, last year's amateur champion now a pro, missed an eight-foot birdie putt on the 72nd he needed for a tie. Another young pro, Dick Mayer of St. Petersburg, Fla., took a seven on the final hole "when a par five also would have given him a tie. He finished at 2S6 with Lloyd Mangrum of Niles, 111.
