Waters." Mrs. Waters operated the Senators club as owner in 1941 42. taking over for her husband, who died shortly after the 1940 campaign, Salem's first in the WIL. - , Some of the older Senators patriots will recall Johnson -as the dashing and hard-hitting third baseman whose greatest -claim to local fans was perhaps his ability to steal home against ; Pitcher Hub Kittle of the Yakima club of that period. Johnson accomplished this feat no less than; four times at terhaccy chewin' Kittle's expense, and twice in the same game here one .afternoon. . . K . " v ::-':'r- . "" Bill is now. working at Bandon. and were it not for an ailing back would still be playing for Leininger's potent Lumberjacks . . . Softball Director Jim Dimit is giving serious thought to switch ing one of the City League playoff games to Waters Field August 4 to help make that evening a big one for the voftballers here. That's the night the land Florists of Portland go against the Arizona Ramb- ) lers of Phoenix in their local clash, and Dimit has been presented with the idea of holding the City League playoff mix as the first game of a doubleheader that night It's been a long time since the goitballers have had their inning in the big ball yard . , . -Accolade for Williams Was Stir prising . We suppose you were one who either watched via TV or listended to the-All-Star game Tuesday. If se you no doubt notfeed the thunderous accolade the Cleveland fans handed Ted Williams when the Boston Red Soxer came up as a pinch-hitter. It was the most lusty of the day. We were very much impressed by its immensity, as it was for a guy who (1) usually played against , the home-favorite Clevelands and 2) a guy who has, been raked time and again by the press for his alleged insults to baseball crowds. ' ' - r ' v To our way of thinking, it was great display of sportsmanship by the Tuesday crowd, to one of the game's greatest hitters, and one who will some day be voted into the Hall of Fame by some of the same guys who have been guilty of stabbing Williams with their pens. - ;.''.,-.: . ' If you. were watching closely, you "also noticed that Leo Durocher. third base coach for the National .Leaguers, at one point whispered words of wisdom to Jackie Robinson just before r he went to bat, and closed out the short confab by giving Jackie a friendly pat on the lower anatomy, r . Weren't these two the same guys who a year or so ago were firing verbal blasts and accusations at one 'another in the public print? , . - - T ' ' - . , - . . . t. i 0- CLEVELAND m Angry tour nament officials, crying "tenpera- mental" and "a lousy trick," let loose a bitter blast Wednesday against former National Open champion Cary Middlecoff for sud denly withdrawing from the $25,000 Manakiki Golf Open. . "It's a lousy trick," said tourna ment co chairman Bob Shave. He gave no excuse whatsoever. He didn't even say anything to me. It stinks.? - ' ; Middlecoff, winner of the tourna ment last year, arrived in town Monday night 'He checked in with officials at the Manakiki Country Club Tuesday and then suddenly packed his , bags and left, laid Shave. , Play in the competition opens Thursday and most of the nation's top golfers, including 1954 Nation al Open champion Ed Furgol, will participate. , Middlecoff. leading 194 money winner so far, could not be reached for comment. He was believed en route to St. Paul, scene of the an nual PGA tournament next week. "Middlecoff has a reputation for being temperamental and I think he's getting even worse," Shave protested. "He knew we had ad- vertisied that he would play." He said he was sure nothing in volving the playing conditions pro voked Middlecoff, but it might have resulted from a motel room mixup.

Young Dodger Fan Gets Thrill of Life By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK l Heaven, as peasured in boyhood, is a thing of modest joys. And Tuesday 13-year-old -Danny Gawrooski of Brooklyn wore a bit of leather on his left hand. ( Danny's the lad to whom the Brooklyn Dodgers gave a brand new $20 baseball glove. He broke it in by working but with Preacher Roe and otLer Dodger players. Tve been a Dodger fan all my life," exulted Danny from the vast pinnacle of his 13 years. "It was a real thrill.". All this started last April when Danny was given some Easter chicks. They grew up into noisy, rollicking roosters and gave the neighbors fits with their early morning crowing. . So a summons was' issued and Monday Danny stood before Magis trate Charles Murphy. By way of a fine, Danny offered $3 in pennies, nickels and dimes in a paper sack. He bad saved tt money for three months to ward a sew baseball glove. . Magistrate Murphy, touched, de clined the money, complimented Danny on his ambition and dis missed the complaint. : - ... The. Dodgers, also touched, ar- ranged tor Danny to ptck up a big league glove at Ebbets Field, - Bright and early Danny got his glove. Then he went home to get up a game of ball. . It is, of course, the type of glove used oy tne Dodgers? "Well, no," conceded Danny. -It's a Mickey Mantle type- Mantle is the centerfielder of the New York Yankees, a team not accorded diplomatic recognition in Brooklyn.
