Arlie Alderman, a H.hOQ1 mistake by Yakima Mgr. Hub Kettle, has already been sold to the Kansas City organization. Jerry Cade may go to the same outfit, although they've, nixed the sale price of $4,000 so far. Bill Walsh goes to the Class A Ama rtllo club, Russ Rosburg goes back to Sacramento, as does Pete Brady, and Chuck Essegian rates thr good possibility of land- ing in the New York Yankee Senators, former playing whiz Dick Sinoyic who is shop ping around for a playing manager' berth, says he'll of ficially apply for the open Salem job.

Former Oregon coach Bill Borcher, who expects to crack the PCC as a basketball referee, is keeping in shape by working high school foot ball games around his now native Roseburg . . . But villager John Kolb, who toots both PCC football and bas ketball games, isn't having things so good. He slipped while working in the Willamette Valley League grid jam boree a couple of weeks ago. snapped something in his back and has been laid up. practically motionless, until just recently . . . Tommy Edwards, left-handed son of the late late Senators manager, is quite a triple-threater for Coach Bob Donovan's Parrish Grays, an item which would have made the ol' man a right proud guy. But the kid who stole the show during last week's junior high jamboree was Steve Bonawitz. halfback for Hank Decker's Parrish Cards. He came romping off the field at one point, and made half the trip with his pants hanging at half mast. He didn't know they were down until he arrived at the bench, but most of the 2.000 present weren't toughing because there were feathers on their seats . . . Drum ,oir Iteatinf Hard for Baylor A thickly-worded, four-page release by the Seattle Uni versity athletic news bureau signals the official start of the big push to land Elgin (Rabbit) Baylor an All-American berth in next winter's basketball derby. Baylor, the 6-ft Colored whiz who jumped the College of Idaho will be el igible the coming season, after spending his one year In exile with the Westside Ford entry in a Northwest AAU League last campaign.

Frank Graham, head man of the Eugene Emeralds operation ex plained in full detail the partner ship plan employed by his organi ration, and it was agreed by all that such a plan, if in effect here, would be the answer to the current operating problems at Waters Field. The plan simply amounts to (his A number of men form a partnership which agrees to under write any and all loss sustained! by the operation of the ball club each year. Twenty-eignt men formed the "Eugene partnership in 1955 and 41 were enjoined this last season. Some had as little as one per cent of the partnership, others as much at 20 per cent. Saecessral Drives Graham also.explained how Eu gene went about selling season tickets to the Emeralds games, pointing out that a great many "salesmen" worked at it rather than just a few. Hence the selling drives have been successful both years the Ems have been in the Northwest League. It was agreed by those present, which included the entire Senators board of directors, that such a partnership plan be drafted here, and presented to the stockholders during their forthcoming meeting. Elmer Berg, president of the Salem Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of last night's meeting said he would convene with Mayor Bob White and Senators president George Paulus (o appoint a citi zens committee and chairman to draw up the partnership plan and present it. The annuaU stockholders meet ing, incidentally, has been post poned indefinitely. The session was slated for Tuesday, October 16, but a new meeting date will be an nounced by Paulus later.

CHICAGO, Oct.' 10 - Like the guided missile, electronic steered football may be here to stay. George Halas, the Papa Bear of the Chicago Bears and a patriarch of the National Foot ball League, commented today "we just can't ignore" the wired-for-sound fad which ha struck the play-for-pay grid circuit. The enterprising Paul Brown, masterful coach of the Cleve land Browns, started the whole thing several months ago by .trying a hlah frequency radio to communicate with his quar terbacks. That didn't work so well, not with the Brown quarterbacks having a one-pound receiver tucked in their helmets and a lot of squawking interference. But since then, a new wireless system has been peddled by an electronics firm (Philco) to the National Football League and the gimmick is catching on. It's a sort of high-geared aid need ing a tiny 1 -ounce receiver for messages from jiress box spot ters. The Chicago Cardinals, only unbeaten league team 12-0), used It in beating the Browns and New York Giants. Now the Giants, Detroit Lions and Bears are ready to try it and most of the others are Interested. Swaps Snaps Bone in Leg CAMDEN, N.

"But all I want to say is that this club worked like dogs all year long," the Brooklyn Dodger man ager went on. "They battled from behind. They did a wonderful job as far as I am concerned. They fought the Yankees right down to the seventh game." Then he paid tribute to man ager Casey Stengel and his vic torious American League team. "Casey did a good job and they got some hitting." . The inevitable question came up how about Don Newcombe, the big 27 game winner during the season who has yet to win a series game and was shelled from the mound in the fourth?
