rno n 'Free' Clash Set Tonight Briggs to Face Tyee Club; Seeks 13th Win By AL LIGUTNER; ' Statesman Sports Editor 01 Sidewheeler Joe is back. And how! Joe Nicholas, the popular pitch ing submariner who registered a record 23 victories for the town Senators last season, made his 1954 debut at Waters Field last night with a five-hit, 5-1 conquest of the Victoria Tyees, the club which turned him back to Port land only a week ago. Last night's win, which put the Senators over the .500 mark, wi seven wins, six losses, also placed them in a third place tie in the WI League second half standings. Spectacled Nick, a right fam iliar figure on the hill from , which he span out 13 of his 23 victories of yesteryear, whif- - .1 J 11 J V . A icu xour na wai-ea out inree. After a salty first inning ia which the veteran-laden Vies tallied their one run on See ond baseman Ron Jackson's opening bloop single just over Nicholas, head, his stolen base and Manager Don Pries single, Joe checked the visitors with a scant two bits the next eight frames. Steve Mesner singled in the second and Mel Stein doubled high off the left field wall in the seventh. Otherwise Nicholas had the foe grounding out harmlessly or-popping weakly to the infield much of the time. The Senators got. even in the second inning when Generalissi mo Hugh Luby gained life with two out, winding up on second base on Eddie Lake's bad throw, and scored when Nicholas him self grounded a single to left John (Butch) Tierney, him self a Senator flinger in 1950, was the victim, and lost his b .frame la the fourth when the Solons banged across three runs. , " Tierney started it himself by walking .Harry. Warner. Harry then moved up on a passed ball and scored- when ' Dennis Luby singled to right Nephew Dennis rambled to third on Jim Deyo's single to left, and Deyo scooted on to second as a play was made on the sliding Luby at third base. Uncle Hugh then scored Nephew Dennis with - a sacrifice ' fly to right, "Deyo going to third. Jim then tallied" , on Mel Krause's ground single through the middle. Nicholas figured well into the . final Salem run in the seventh wnen ne opened witn a scorcn- i in double to left off Reliefer WU iUJUUUl, went M UIUU uu st sacrifice by Krause and scored when Stein, in left field, dropped Bob Kellogg's high; short fly. Nicholas got himself into one severe jam after the first inning, that -in an uproarious seventh in which the Vies lost , their chance to score, a major argument and uie xivives ui xug. x i tea uiu . Catcher Don Lundberg. With Eddie Lake on third (he walked) and Stein ,on second after ' the latter's double, Neil Sheridan was sent up to hit for, Tierney with two out.
