Athletics Win 2
From Portland
Eugene Beats Marine
Electric, 16-1, 13-4 .
Eugene's Athletics broke out in
a base-hit rash at the dusty fair
grounds Sunday afternoon.
They murdered Marine Elec
tric of Portland in both halves of
a lopsided State league double
header, 16 to 1 and 13 to 4. Both
games were prize examples of
baseball slaughter, pillage and ut
ter devastation.
The first massacre counted in
the second half standings and en
abled the A's to climb into a tie
with tbe Electricians for seventh
place. The nightcap went into the
books as Eugene's third first half
victory.
Bob Wiltshire and Fete igoe
each turned in flossy five-hit pit
ching jobs, but the clay's real news
centered around the Athletics
mass batting rampage.
The Murderers' Row
The onre powerless A's hit and
hit and then hit some more. To
wit:
Mr. William Carney continued
his slugging spree by pounding out
five straight hits at the start of
the first game. He wound up with
five for six in the opener, one for
four in the second shift and a
grand total of six blows, one a
double, in 10 attempts.
Mr. John Dunn rapped out four
singles in five plate appearances
in the first game, then picked up
two more in the afterpiece, to
fashion for himself a six-for-nine
afternoon
Mr. Burke "Clutch" Austin
hammered out two singles and a
long home run in the first bom
bardment, then added a double
and single in tbe nightcap to wind
up with five for eight. Mr. Austin's
home run was his second in as
many Stale league contests.
Mr. Lloyd Mallison poled out a
home run and a triple in the first
walkaway and a double and single
in Ihe second gosh-awful massa
cre, making four for nine.
Everybody Smacks Apple
Messrs. Carney, Dunn, Austin
and Mattison were undisputably
the big four in Eugene's "mur
derers' row" and therefore were
the only sluggers to earn the title
of "Mister", but all the rest of
the boys chipped in with base hits.
Those who balled less than .300
for the four-hour session are in
danger of being expelled from the
league hy President Wilhelm, it is
rumored.
All credit for the abundance of
base knocks may not, from a pan
oramic point of view, be due lo
Ihe Athletics. Even the most rabid
"luok-at-'em-clout" supporter had
to admit that Marine Electric didn't
field much ot a ball club. And it
seems entirely safe to venture that
none of the Marine pitchers will
be donning major league uniforms
in the near future.
Wiltshire would have achieved
a shutout in the opener save for
some none too clever fielding be
hind him in the sixth inning. It
didn't matter much, for the A's
blasted out two runs in tbe first,
two more in the fourth, six more
in the fifth and a final six in the
sevenlh.
Aftermath Same Story
Manager Jim Turner of the
Electricians asked for quarter af
ter the eighth had begun and. quar
ter granted, he hastened to recon
noiter his wounded forces for the
second slaughter.
In the closing installment of the
perfect day lgoe not only dupli
cated Wiltshire's five-hit feat but
struck out seven. The Electricians
grabbed a four-run lead in the
fust and second innings, but
Eugene blasted Pitcher Paddock
tor four runs in the third and fin
ished up with a great big nine in
the fourth, on seven hits and six
errors.

would become even less acute
should Marshall Goldberg. Pitts

The Cardinals are badly in
need of ends. Gaynell Tinsley
and Pill Smith comprise the
available and expert wingmen
now that Nevers has determined
to restore Everett Etscher to the
backfield.
Nevers. widely experienced at
both, hasn't yet made up his

Cleveland Indians, grossly mis
handled from lop to bottom, are
practically in a state of open re
bellion. There are strained relations be
tween Cyril C. Sl.ipnicka of the
front office and Oscar Vitt, the
man user.
Vitt and the athletes resent the
manner in which Jimmy Webb,
shortstop and one of the more pop
ular members of the outfit, was
shuffled off to Buffalo while at the
leak of his K;imc.
Cy Slapnicka decided to recall
the hnlliant yoims second basins

for a night game with the Browns.
Slap had to give the Bisons
