iDinjs B It 'Again, ; Duck Trackmen Slap OSC Twin Bill , Set Today Conton, McKinney Report to feapi By AL LIGHTNEB Statesman Sports Editor - The monotonous drought contin ued at Waters Field last night, both for the sagging Senators and their chagrined commanders. The ball club lost the game 1-1 to the Tri-City Braves, which was bad enough since it was a fifth consecutive setback, and No. 8 in a row here at home. The manage ment lost some additional : faith since only 333 patrons, the small est gathering of the young season, thinly populated the seats. Not even the arrival of twp tw players could snap the team from Us woeful slump. Both Alfredo Conton, exactly 37 days late la arriving from The Dc.nJn Icaa Republic, and Jim McKin ey, oae of the New York Yank ee chattels handed the club, checked la, Conton, who em phasized Us best he tould in Spanish) that be really didn't eome all the way via. canoe, hopped right into 'the lineup at second base. McKinney,' a pitch er, saw action but certainly will la the near future. The other Yankee farmhand, in fielder Ed Schreibner, is supposed to be here today. Yankee scout Tony Robello, who watched last night's game, was surprised that he hadn't yet arrived. Robello added that other players are avail able to Mgr. Don Lundberg if he wants them, and concluded that some not wanted, had already been sent on to the Yakima outfit Last Bight's contest was a typ ical Solon .performance of late. .One big inning for the enemy and productive punch for the home gang. This time the big inning was the second, at Ev Al drldge's expense. A couple of errors, a rifle-shot triple by Jack Riley and a solid single by Bob Koskl did it. The Tri-City outfit, a husky one, added the fourth run quickly in the fifth heat when Len Lindborg lofted an Aldridge serve over the left field wall. Long and lean Octavio Acosta, who hadn't been able to win prior to coming to town, went the route for the Braves. Although nicked for 10 hits all singles he yielded only in the fifth and ninth innings. Solos by Jack Dunn, Cal Bauer and Roy Parker netted a run in the, fifth. Conton and Lundberg started things in the ninth with singles, but even after Acosta loaded the bases with a walk to Dennis Peterson he managed to get both Dunn and Bauer on in field taps to end the game. Dunn's ground-out batted in a run. Conton's fielding, which in cluded two errors, showed the effects of his not having played in some time. But he did smack a couple of singles. Tri-City got to Aldridge for 12 hits, three by third-sacker Riley. The series is to end today with a 1:30 o'clock doubleheader, and it s to be Pappy Kindsfather (1-3) and Humberto Marquez (1-1) for Salem against Jerry McClure (0-1) and Bernard Kunert (0-1) for Ray Hathaway's Pittsburgh farmhands. Notes: Since Conton has final ly arrived and Schreibner is due today, that will leave only Julio Plerla, from Venezuela, as the lone absentee. He may be com ing via slow mule train . . . The quipping customers are having their fun with the T-Clty center fielder when he bats.

If ' w TONY ROBELLO Talks of possible tieup. raj Sunday sorties: All hoss players die broke, the saying goes. Little wonder after such, as this: The New York State tax department recently disclosed that horse players left a total of $3,840,000 in unclaimed pari-mutuel winnings at New York tracks in the last 18 years, and the total in cluded $331,025 in 1957 . . . . What's done with the money? Goes into cidentlly, the current Portland Meadows meet is enjoying a 1 much greater degree of success than it did at this point a year ago, even though we doubt any one has left any unclaimed tick ets bouncing around . . . Securing two New Y o k Yankee controlled ballgamers here could amount to a sizeable stone toward a handsome rela tionship with the Yankees in the future. We've learned via their West Coast scout Tony Robello that his outfit is somewhat in terested in a Class B outlet for its chattels in the West. The Yankees are now tied in with the Modesto club in the Class C California loop, and the next and only Class B jump is at far-off Greensboro on the East Coast. Robello is the former (and fiery) Pioneer League man ager of pre-war years who has since held important scouting jobs, starting with the old St. Louis Browns. He's a go-getter type, and were the Senators able to edge Into the Yankee family their player worries of the future could be greatly minimized through Robello's efforts . . . The Yankees have twice before been strongly affiliated with ball clubs of the Northwest, in the old Western International loop. They first stocked the Wenatchee Chiefs handsomely before the war, and then provided the Victoria clnb with young hopefuls afterward. You'll recall that one of the kids they had at Victoria was an awkward looking second baseman named Gil McDougald. Actually, theres are but three bona fide major league tieups now existing in the NWL. Cincinnati has its connection at Wenatchee, Pittsburgh is in with Tri-City and Milwaukee is. hooked up with Yakima. And from the looks of the present standings, the Braves dispersing department has mistaken the NWL as a Class D loop rather than Class B . . . Foreman Likes Looks of Junior Clift League umpire Al Foreman was talking of the Yakima club the other day, and told of its having a young fireballing pitcher named Harlond Clift Jr. "He's an excellent major league prospect," offered Foreman, "but I don't think he's yet ready for this class of baseball. He should be in a D league." Reason we brirjg this to light is because young Clift is the son of Harlond Clift, the longtime American League third baseman of the thirties and forties who brought his playing career to a . close with Yakima in 1947, and who still runs a cattle ranch in the Yakima Valley ... Waters Field baseball attendance, a topic of general conversa tion lately since it has been so very poor, hasn't yet established any records. A check of the files reveals some of the all-time lows, and champion of the group is the gathering of 234 on August 13, 1954, when Lewiston was in town. A turnout of 240 on May 15, 1953 almost matched it There were others, although not many below the 300 level, most of which came in the ugly era of 1949-50 when the (Continued page 22, coL 5) Semi finalist r miiil 'ii li i aShawaaaaaaaasaaamw, i I T Mbre Woe: frl-Clty (2) siem BHOA BHOA Riley,! 4 3 3 1 Petrtn.i 4 14 4 Koskl,r 4 2 1 Dunn.m ill Cltr,m S 1 1 Bauer J S I 3 1 Bmur,e 4 0 3 1 P.rker.r 3 11 Lndborr.l 4 I t ndrin,l Mil r.WlmM S 1 SGregfj 4 1 Mlfiice.l S 1J 2 Cnton,2 4 2 4 2 Hamiltn,t 4 2 2 3L4berg,c 4 17 3 AcoiU.p 4 12 1 ldrre.n 2 1 O.Wmij 1 I Total! 39 12 27 IS ToUli 34M27 11 Struck out tor Aldridge In th.

Four Meet Records Go Edstrom Only Double Winner EUGENE on Sophomore Dave Edstrom captured two events as Oregon easily defeated Oregon State ltt-38tt in a Northern Divi sion Pacific Coast Conference dual track meet here Saturday. Edstrom's best effort of the day was his first-place time of :14.2 in the high hurdles. It was both a new meet and new University of Oregon record. In addition, Edstrom had win ning leap of 22 feet, 9 inches in the broad jump and finished sec ond in the high lump and third in the shot. Win 12 Events Oregon, in taking its 28th straight dual meet victory, cap tured 12 of the meet s 15 events. Another fine running effort was turned in by Oregon sprinter Steve Anderson, who hurtled over the 100-yard dash course in :09.8. Oregon competitors also set two other meet records. Jim Grelle ran the mile in 4:12.5, clipping eight-tenths of a second off the former meet record in 1955 by Jim Bailey of Oregon. Junior D. C. Mills of Medford. Ore., had a record toss of 231 feet. 9Vi inches in the javelin on a warm, sunny day. Marshall Sets Mark The 2,500 fans at the meet saw the other record fall to an Oregon State athlete, Duane Marshall, who tossed the shot 51 feet, 9 inches. It was Oregon's 10th straight such victory, over its cross-state rival. Another outstanding performance was turned in by Ken Grant of Ore gon.

Bill Stellmon got both the hits given up by Moore a single and a triple. The triple came in the second inning and Stellmon scored on a passed ball. After the third inning, Idaho couldn't get a runner beyond sec ond. Moore struck out eight and walked six, but stayed in control all the way. The Beavers put the game away in the second when they pushed across six runs on six hits, two walks and a hit batter. Clark And erson wasn't able to get a man out in the inning before he was relieved. Jim Phillips, who took over Fri day for an injured Beaver, again was powerful at the plate, hitting four for five.

Ducks Snap Pilot Streak EUGENE W) Oregon snapped Portland University's 14-g a m e winning streak with a decisive 10-4 baseball victory over the Pilots here Saturday. Oregon slammed 10 hits off pitcher Art Bull, who had hurled two no-hit, no-run games earlier this season. The fleet Oregon squad also stole seven bases, running its to tal to 60 for 19 games this season. Portland University took its only lead of the game, 2-0, in the ini tial inning. Oregon came back in its half of the inning for four and kept the lead the rest of the way. In that Oregon rally, catcher Ellis Olson doubled home the first two men that Bull walked. Olson was driven in by Pete Gumina, who then stole second and scored on a single by Jerry Urness. In the third, Oregon got what proved to be its winning run when Olson singled and then scored on an error. A homer by 'Urness drove in two more runs that in ning for Oregon.

(1 The flashing spiked shoes of sopho more Walter (Spike) Arlt carried him to three firsts Saturday and helped Washington State take a 71-60 Northern Division track win over Washington. Eddie Schmidt was third in a photo finish with Barbarian. The winner's time for the mile and one-eighth was 1:47 25, only 35 of a second off the world rec ord established by Noor at this same track on June 17, 1950. Ekaba, ridden by Peter Mor eno, laid close to the bristling pace set by Barbarian. At the stretch turn, Ekaba moved abreast of Barbarian as did the 8-5 favorite Social Climber. In the run for home, Ekaba, a 4-year-old chestnut colt, proved too much for Social Climber, con queror of Round Table last year. The handicap victory was worth $25,500 to the Agoura Stock Farm. Social Climber, ridden by Ralph Neves and owned by Llangollen Farms, collected $10, 000. The show purse for Eddie Schmidt was worth $8,000 and Barbarian picked up $4,000. Ekaba returned $21.80, $7.70 and $3.70. Social Climber paid $3.70 and $2.70 and Eddie Schmidt $2.80. Tall Chief 2nd, and the two Argentine bred entries, Hollan des II and Sueco, were never la the chase. A crowd of 16,192 watched the stretch duel. Barbarian set the pace to the stretch turn closely followed by Ekaba and Social Climber. Eddie Schmidt, ridden by Alex Maese, made a bold move approaching the far turn but faltered when the real racing began down the stretch. Pacific Rips Whitman FOREST GROVE, Ore.

Valley Editor, The Statesman Eleven racing cars became mangled wreckage in the first seven laps of Saturday night's stock car inaugural at Hollywood Bowl. It was the largest field of stocks in Bowl history, and the greatest crash event in many seasons. Ed Negre of Longview, Wash., in '50 Oldsmobile edged Kuz Kuz manish in a '48 Mercury for first place in the 35 lap main event, but it was an anti-climax. In the third lap Art Watts, Al Woods, and Carroll Faulkner piled up in front of the grandstand, and only the heavy . crash rail kept Woods from ending up In the grandstand. Harold Hardesty and Ray Chase tangled in the confu sion, both wrecking cars in the infield. Two laps later Ken Pease looped in the east turn as a light drizzle slickened the track. Harvey Weit man rammed him headon at full throttle, and in turn was rear ended by Carl Joiner. A lap later Gordy Haines lost a front wheel and seconds later Royce Haggerty was ousted in an other mishap on the back stretch. Twice the race was halted, and twice cars were running under the yellow caution flag. Threatening weather held the crowd down to just over 1,000 spectators. seconds for the paved quarter mile. He came back to take the fast car trophy dash in 1.02.33. Heat winners were Dick Ga bourty of Portland, Walt Pflaug- haupt of Corvallis, Royce Hag gerty of Portland, and Kuz Kuz manish, also Portland. Thirty-three cars timed in, but crashes and mechanical troubles eliminated all but 13 by the end of the featured event. Next Saturday night the Bowl finds the souped up hardtops roll ing, with over 30 of the blazing fast buggies in action. Featured will be appearance of LaVerne Cavitt of Portland, the only wo man driver in the northwest, com- INDIANAPOLIS (A Luck was mixed Saturday at the Indianapo lis Motor Speedway where red haired Don Edmunds was serious ly injured in a crash but Troy Ruttman, the 1952 winner of the 500-mile race, won grudging med ical approval to drive again. Three surgeons examined Rutt man, veteran La Mlrada, Calif., driver who underwent an abdom inal operation April 4. Two said he could drive and one dissent ed. The speedway accepted the majority vote and turned Rutt man loose in a sparkling new Kuzma owned by J. C. Agajanlan of Los Angeles. Edmunds smacked the unyield ing concrete retaining wall with the left rear wheel of his McKay Special and was hospitalized with back injuries, a mild concussion and a possible broken left hip. Ec&nunds, a popular red-haired driver with eight years' experi ence, is 27 years old. Driving the Roy McKay Special from Youngstown, Ohio, he had been practicing at 138 miles an hour before the car went into a slide on the northeast turn. It skidded to the lower edge of the track, then spun and crashed back wards into the wall. The car trav eled over 250 feet after bouncing off the wall. The npset-loaded Salem Elks Club Mid-Willamette VaUey tour nament, which has seen medalist Courtney Johns, defending champ Pat Mlklla and such other stal warts as Walt Cline, Jack Owen, Dusty Woods, Ed FrUsli and Clea Cashman fall by the way side, crosses the semifinals finish line at the Salem Golf Club to day. Scheduled to do the batting are Harvey Quistad, Barney Hodak, Gary CampbeU and Cliff Ellis, and the pairings put Quistad op posite Hodak and Campbell against Ellis. The two winners play next Sunday for (he cham pionship. First flight pairings for the semifinals have Win Needham against Woods and Bob Burrell against Bob Albrich.
