' 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-

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

when Stein, in left field, dropped

severe jam after the first inning,

which the Vies lost , their chance
to score, a major argument and

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. Sheridan was called out
on strikes by plate, Ump Fulk.
When the heated arguing finally
