By AL LIGHTN'ER Statesman Sports Editor x Mel (Tarzan) Krause, just about as valuable a piece of baseball merchandise as exists on the . Salem Senators ball club, gave a double-barreled reason why Saturday afternoon by pitching and batting an 11-1 Northwest League victory over the Lewiston Broncs. Normally the second baseman ; for Uncle Hugh Luby's flock, Mel ! was rushed into action when Long John Wortham's ailing back vouldn't permit him to start. Krause responded with a five-hit J job, whiffed two and walked only cne. He also pounded out three' hits, two in a rousing 9-run seventh . iiining for the Salems, and scored t three runs. " j Saturday could well have been; "Krause Day" at the ball yard, for husky Melvin was the Mr. Big j of the afternoon. j The victory swept the three-game series with Lewiston, and Salem ' r.ow hits the road, opening a short series tonight at Tri-City with a doubleheader.

D New Yorkers Win by 28-17 Hcinricli, Webster Epps Lead Attack SEATTLE (Special to The States man) Don Heinrich, Bobby Epps and Alex Webster spearheaded a superlative offensive football spec tacle at the University of Washing ton Stadium here Saturday after noon as the New York Giants beat the ; San Francisco 49ers, 23-17. Webster tumbled into the end zone with the final touchdown just as the gun sounded ending the game Heinrich, hitting on 12 of 25 passes for 178 yards and one touch down, went all the wav for the Giants at quarterback. It was his! first appearance as a pro on the j field where he had starred as a collegian. i One of Heinrich's passes went 61 1 yards to Ken MacAfee for the third Giant touchdown. As a field general, Heinrich was alert and quick to set up the determined Giant offense. Epps. the diminu tive fullback, was always driving for the tough short yardage. In all he gained 102 yards on 16 tries. The Giants, recovering from a halftime deficit of 17-14 before 49, 000 fans, had gone ahead to stay at 4:42 of . the third quarter. After that it was largely a question of whether or not the Giant defense could stop rugged ball carriers like John Henry Johnson and Joe Per- ry- ; Defense Hold They could and did. Ray Collins. Cliff Livingston and Kay Krouse were rigid in the line. The pass defense of Tom Landry. Dick Nol an, Em Tunnel! and John Williams successfully gummed up Y. A.
