Adds more laurels.
A combination of many things brought the Tillage Senators the
first half pennant in the Northwest League. First off, there may
have been none had the directors not decided to split the season
after games of last Sunday. That was a move in the right direction
so far as the Salems were con
; cerned. It was a bitter disappoint
' ment-for those at Eugene and
Wenatcbee. .
Even though, we have no im
mediate details of the pow wow
t Yakima, we'd bet that George
- Paulus, the Salem representative,
was the gent who motioned that
the cleave be made after games
of July 3. And well back that
bet with another that George,
who has done so much to keep
the Senators financial ship afloat
this season and last, was a right
argumentive gent when the en
suing wrangling began. '
Had all league hands been in
solid financial shape, there would
have been no split season. But it
was felt that backing the race
into two parts would give Spo
kane, Lewiston and Yakima a
chance to start all over again and
possibly . revive interest in those
respective cities.
r Were one to point out the real reason for Salem's first half
championship he'd have a tough task. So many things blended to
gether to make it possible. Uncle Hugh Luby's managerial ability,
proved here many times in his five campaigns as boss, is of course
a major factor. We long ago came to the conclusion that Salem
Senators baseball here would be strictly first division so long as
Luby pulled the strings.
-The club's ability to win on the road figures into-it also. The
Salems won 20 of 31 games abroad that first half, which amounts
to .645 percentage baseball. And other notable items would be these:
Many, Many Factors Brought the Pennant '
Bill Walsh's fine, relief stints in the early going, when it
appeared there wasn't a tingle capable starting flinger on the
staff; Bill Dials' tremendous relief work in the late going, sav
ing game after game; the home ran power within the Tanks,
which amounts to the best any Senators club has ever had; the
ft-fantastic center fielding of Jack Dunn, certainly one of the
finest middle -gardeners ever to work in the shadow of the
, Waters Field scoreboard; the hitting rampage Gene Tanselli
V cut loose with at the start of the season; the surprisingly fine
