CLIMBER
By DICK STRITE
Maxle Rubenstein would prob
ably give his right eye tooth to be
able to hang the state Softball
nennant on the Rubenstein Furni
ture store flag pole. When the
Rubes travel to Salem Monday it
will mark Max's third attempt to
annex the crown and the lad has
invested something besides pea-
nut shells in his clubs during the
past three seasons.
Last season the Rubes were a
big disappointment, booting six
errors around the diamond to lose
. a quarter-final game to M & M
Woodworkers of Portland 7-4
after taking the opener from Mc
Minnville 5-0. In the first game
Bill Jones hurled a one-hitter.
In fact, that's about the story
of all former Eugene clubs in
state tournament play.
Back in the days of the twi
light league, when Eugene
teams played their games on
local playground fields and
pitched over-hand, the Knights
of Columbus represented Eu
gene In the state tournament.
That was In 1933 and there
were only three other trams In
the tourney. Knowing little of
the rules, and never having
pitched underhand, the Knights
were knocked over In the first
game. Irv Custer, former Y. M.
C. A. physical director, was the
only local player who had ever
tossed a submarine Softball, and
he was on the mound for the
K.C.'s.
The next year found the league
playing its games under the lights
of Hayward field until the pag
eant chased the softballers back
into the twilight class. ' Eugene
had a clnssy club that season with
Larry Quille, erratic, but effective
hurler, doing the pitching. Hcinie
Coghlnn caught. That was the
year Salem really went to town
on Softball, and such players as
Mike Mikulak of the K. C. and
Red Franklin of Corvallis made
the headlines.
Other members of the team that
advanced Into the semi-finals be
fore taking a 12-2 licking from
Enke Dye of Portland were Joe
Gordon, Jack Gordon and Ray
Koch. The Caseya opened the
meet with a B-4 win over the M
& M club, Quille pitching a five
hit game, and then scored an 8-3
win over Kay Mills of Salem, Lo
rln Carmlchael scoring the pitch
ing victory. In the loss, Joe Ka
lisky and Quille were pounded all
over the lot.
In 1935 Eugene was repre
sented by Safeway Stores an
other fine club that stumbled In
the quarter-finals, losing a 4-0
game to Oregon City even
(hough Bill Lake and BUI Jones
gave up only five hits to the
winners. Two errors proved
rostly and timely hits gave
Oregon City (he game. The ini
tial victory was scored over Sll
verlon. 4-2 with Jones winning
on the mound.
Rubenstein's first team came In
1936 and the "Snfa Sitters"
opened their campaign with an
Impressive 11-4 win over Silver
ton. Jones hurling five-hit ball.
The second game has gone down
in tournament history. With Ml.
Angel leading 4-3 in the ninth
Inning, two down nnd the count
three and two. Al Diclz clouted a
home run with two men on the
paths to win the game 6-4. Again
in the semi-finals the Rubes got
the Jitters and were handcuffed
by Mirkey Brrlant of M it M with
five hits while Jones Rave the
Portland team nine blows lor an

Joe Gordon's Speed Is Responsible for Frank Crosetti's
Rightful Place in the Baseball Sun-Great Combination
By JERRY BRONDFIELD
NEA Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Frank
Peter Joseph Crosetti, the cham
peen holler guy of the American
ieague, considers himself fortun
ate to have a youngster like Joe
Gordon next to him at second
base.
Because it is Gordon who finally
is establishing the San Francisco
Italian in his rightful place In the
baseball sun.
It seems as though Yankee fol
lowers have never fully apprec
iated the chatterbox shortstop
who, since Tony Lazzeri departed
these haunts, has become the eyes
and brains of the Yanks' infield.
Never a slugger worthy of the
name, Crosetti has' been over
shadowed by Joe DiMaggio, Bill
Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Red Itolfe,
and other Yank fence busters, but
now it is rapidly becoming appar
ent that without him the Yankee
infield would be sadly lacking in
cnampionship spark.
Right now Crosetti is faster and
more alert than he ever was, and
isn't slow to admit that Joe Gor
don is the reason for his improve
ment. The Oregon rookie is the fastest
man in the Yankee infield and his
speed simply carries Crosetti right
along with him. Crosetti knows he

combination is to click perfectly.
"I first suspected I'd have to

"That became very obvious in the

worked together, and I saw the

Oliver Returns to Eugene -
Tex Oliver, new University of
Oregon football coach, who intro
duced the "Oliver Twist" to Web
foot gridiron candidates during an
intensive spring training season,
was back in Eugene Sunday. The
former Arirona mentor, who re
placed Prink Callison as head
man, has spent the past month In
California and is ready to start the
hard grind to prepare Oregon's
eleven for seven conference
games and twd non-conference
tilts against Fordham and Idaho.
Although Oliver had nothing to
say regarding hu activities in the
south, it was believed that he will
be greeted by a flock of Junior

display all the things that were
expected of him. Whatever the
reasons might have been inex
perience, or plain rookie jitters
Gordon didn't appear to be filling
Tony Lazzeri's shoes any too well
in the early part of the campaign.
Joe McCarthy then gave Bill
Knickerbocker a chance to plug
the gap, but Bill didn't do much
better.
McCarthy decided to give Gor
don another fling and this time
the former Newark star was
ready.
The stimulus was like ah elec
tric shock to Crosetti, who up
until Gordon's return had been
playing in a somewhat desultory
fashion. The, San Franciscan is
covering more territory now than
in previous years and Gordon's
hustling spirit is sharpening him
up on double plays.

It was as a fielder that Frank
Crosetti was expected show to his
class when he came to New York
as a $75,000 beauty in 1932. At
17 he was in the regular lineup
with the San Francisco Seals. At
21 he was receiving his golden
opportunity with the Yanks.
Yet until this season Crosetti
was an in-and-out ball player.
His status was doubtful when the
Yanks left for St. Petersburg, what
with Knickerbocker available for
duty both at short and second.
But Joe McCarthy one day
bluntly told Crosetti he would be
the regular shortstop. Psychology
or not, it restored his confidence,
and Crosetti has held the job
since.
Held it on his own merit, and
improved upon it with the aid of
young Joe Gordon.

novelty to local sports fans, but
this will mark the first time a

Moran virtually demanded the
match, pointing out to Owen and
the commission that he had
"chased Middleweight Champion
George Wagner out of the country
and was refused a light-heavyweight
bout with Danny Mc
Shain." The Sailor said, "I've
beaten every opponent Owen has
to offer and I'll not meet that

there's something in it."
And so Achiu's crown will come
out of the moth balls and a battle
between heart blows and jiu-jitsu
will be on deck for wrestling fol

A strong supporting card will
be announced later in the week,
according to Owen.

The United States Davis Cup team
of Donald Budge, Bobby Riggs and

This price was quoted at the

that while the Australians were
highly impressive in crushing the
Nazi squad he felt certain the
Americans would retain the trophy
by a score of 3 to 2 or better.
"I'm a form player, which
means I go by the book," Butch
