. - What does a professional football team have to draw per game
at home to "crack the nut," promotionally speaking? In the case of
the Jew York Giants, who play
their home dates in New York's
Polo Grounds, we're told they
have to lure 25,000 per fame to
break even If you're quali-
- f led to coach lootball and base
ball, and can also teach mathe

Paul Reiling would like to bun
with you, pronto. Gervais has lost
its fine (and successful) coach

Alaska. Quite a loss, too, for big

kid, Dave Gambee of Corvallis
High, was working ja Seattle re-

and sealed by the Washington
Huskies. - The six-f oot-slx-incher is

We also learn that Bill Toole, the Beavers'. extremely, fast basketball
guard, is to turn out for Kip Taylor's grid squad next autumn. Toole
was a prep touchdown terrific at Klamath Falls as a halfback, but
has devoted all of his swift to the basketball arena since attending
Oregon State . . . Unable to stay away from it even though he's re
tired as a player, Len Younce, one of the NY Giants' all-timers will
be the umpire in Saturday afternoon's intra-squad game-in McCuI
loch Stadium, Len might do well to be particularly alert, for some
playful blocker might take a whack at him just for kicks. We sin
cerely hope there will be no mistaken identity if such is to be . . .
By far . the best umpiring we've seen at Waters Field this semester
occurred in the recent Wenatchee-Salem series, one in which Ed
Fisher, worked all four games behind the plate nd Don Vandervort,
local official, handled the base calls. All four games were decided
either by one run or in overtime and there were some tough calls.
Yet the boys got by in good shajpe, principally because they were
hustling something that has been sadly lacking by most of the ar
biting duets this season. Both H. Luby and George (Highpockets)
Kelly were outwardly, complimentary with their post-series remarks
on the umpiring also. And any time either one says Something good
about an umpire, that's something . -

Team Has Won 13
Of Last 17 Outings -
BENGAL FIELD, Lewiston
Special) ,' Still strictly on the
torrid side,' the Salem Senators
gained their first shutout victory
of the entire Western Internation
al League season here Wednesday
night, when Ernie Domenichelli,
"do-everything" righthander for
the dub fired a four-hit, 5-0 win
over the staggering Lewiston
Broncs. :; 1
The win was Salem's third in a
row here and moved the club into
a virtual tie with Lewiston, .which
has been leading the second half
of the pennant race for ,almost
two weeks. ' ' ';
The torrid Salems
won 13 of their last
have now
17 games.
which is a winning percentage of
.763.
Generalissimo Hugh Luby of the
Senators believes he has-the best
all-around pitching staff in the
league, and Domenichelli didn't
hurt that feeling Wednesday night.
He was in trouble seldom. His
worst inning was the ninth when
the Broncs filled the bases on a
single and two walks. But the
rangy righthander was up to the
task and fanned Pinch-hitter
Glenn Tuckett to end the game.
Domenichelli fanned five, walk
ed five. His opponent, and victim,
was Guy (Grumpy) Fletcher,
Broncs veteran. It was Ernie's
sixth triumph.
Salem scored twice in the fifth
when Jim Deyo and Hugy Luby
singled, with Deyo scoring , after
Outfielder CUht Cameron let
Luby's drive go through his legs.
Then with two out Bob Kellogg
doubled in Luby. - ' .
f It . went to 4-0 in the seventh
when Deyo walked and Hugh Luby
was safe on an error on his sacri
fice, Deyo stole home on a Fletch
er windup and Kellogg again sing
iedfor a run., .:, ... - ,
Harry Warner's double and Den
nis Luby's single brought in the
fifth Salem run in the eighth.
L .Mel Krause, Kellogg and Warn
er each had two hits. , ,
The teams end the Lewiston ser
ies Thursday night and Salem then
opens a four-game stand with Ed
monton, at Salem,' Starting Friday
night It's to be both "Radio Ap
preciation" and "Turkey" Night
Friday, with special prizes and en
tertainment for fans as well as
players. , "
