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

Talks of possible tieup.

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

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

It was Oregon's 10th straight
such victory, over its cross-state
rival.

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

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,

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

A crowd of 16,192 watched the
stretch duel.
Barbarian set the pace to the

11 Cars Pile Up at Hollywood Bowl
By MERV1N JENKINS .
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.

fast car trophy dash in 1.02.33.
Heat winners were Dick Ga
bourty of Portland, Walt Pflaug-
haupt of Corvallis, Royce Hag

manish, also Portland.
Thirty-three cars timed in, but
crashes and mechanical troubles
eliminated all but 13 by the end
of the featured event.

lis Motor Speedway where red
haired Don Edmunds was serious
