FRANK CHASE 10-Game Winner Yakima Blasts Chiefs, 17-1; LewistonWins Bj DICK STRITE a ReclsterGuard Sports Editor FERRIS FIELD, SPOKANE Frank Chase, with a cred itable 5Vb-inning relief job, became the first Eugene pitch er to win 10 games this season as the Emeralds downed the Spokane Indians, 10-5, during a sultry Tuesday night. A crowd of 1,166 watched the Indians commit six errors in a game that was in doubt until four Eugene runs in the ninth ininng. The victory was the second in this four-game series and kept manager Cliff Dapper's Ems at the top of the North west Baseball League. -, '. . ' Leroy Han started the ' iame, but apparently had not fully re covered from a recent infection of his tonsils. He was found for four runs and a 44 deadlock in the fourth frame when he was nailed for three hits, including Nap Gulley's double, and gave up three of the five walks he issued in 3 innings. Chase was . greet ed by Ed Murphy's single that scored a run, but Granny Glad stone's great throw nailed Bob Cerrato at the plate to end the inning and prevent the Indians from taking a one-run lead. Chase allowed one run in the eighth whcn'Don Speer blooped a double down the third base i line and scored behind Cerrato's single. Chase fanned the final man in that inning as well as in the sixth and ninth with men on base. In the scvent' the Ems came- Up with their third double ,ilay o the game to get the big right bander out of trou ble. Chase's record is now 10-4, with the last seven in a row. Spokane errors contributed to much of the Eugene scoring, and four wild pitches by Lefty Gene Rosen helped cost him his sixth defeat against four wins. He was eventually lifted for a pinch hit ter in the eighth, but was hard hit all evening, giving up 12 of! the 15 hits collected by the Emeralds. . , I Eugene opened the scoring in the first inning when Ron Jack son singled to right and advanced on an outfield error. He went to third on a wild pitch and scored on the same mistake by Rosen. y Two more Eugene runs came In the fourth when Jackson walked with one away. Art Pres ton was safe on an infield error and both runners advanced on Rosen's throwing error at sec ond. Jackson scored on another wild pitch and Preston tallied on the same play when catcher Bill Sheets missed the ball at the plate. The Ems broke the 4-4 dead lock in the sixth when Preston was safe on a fielder's choice, ad vanced on a wild pitch and an infield out, and scored on Glad stone's single. The Eugene ad vantage went to 6-4 'in the sev enth when a run scored after Spokane's second double play. Whitey Thomson walked and went to third when Manny Ro mero bounced a single over Cer rato's head at short. Thomson scored when Chase beat out a grounder to third. a In the ninth, with the score 6-5 and Vitn Ramirez on the mound, the Ems batted around Thomson grounded out, Ted Hesse walked and went to third when Chase beat out a bunt. Jackson bounced a single over Eddie Lake's head at second, scoring Hesse. Preston lined a double down third-base way, scoring Chase and Jackson. Hal Tnso flied to deep center and then Gladstone rapped a hard grounder to third, where Bill Sta- ley was guilty of his second error of the night, scoring Preston. Dapper walked, but George Huff man, who went hitless, flied out to left and ended the big inning. EUGENB AB R Jarksnn, 2b HIGHCL'IMBER -By DICK STRITE- Cr. . I V ' : J v Iv H . .

Tri-Clty 5 Wednesday's Schedule Yakima al Wenatchee Tri-Clty at Lewlston Eugene at Spokane By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Yakima batters feasted on base hits in Northwest League base ball Tuesday night, blasting 25 in a 17-1 rout of Wenatchee. The barrage included four home runs, six doubles and 15 singles. The Chiefs, in retaliation, could muster' only five and their one run resulted from a ninth inning single and three straight walks. Eugene and Spokane pitchers also were liberal with baschits. Eugene collected 15 and the In dians 10 as the Emeralds powered to a 10-5 triumph at Spokane. In the league's third game, Lew iston outhit Tri-City 8-7 en route to an 8-5 home park victory. Don Edwards was the winning pitcher at Wenatchee. Glenn Is- nnghaus took the loss. He was pulled in the third inning after Yakima had pounded seven straight hits before anyone was out. Lee Maye hit two homers for Wenatchee; Sam Mitchell poled a two-on roundtripper and Gary Robbins a three-run homer. At Lcwislon, the Broncs scored twice in the fourth on two singles, an error and a stolen base. Mac Schmidt's fifth inning homer, a pair of runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and two in the eighth wrapped up Lewiston scoring. Tn-City scored once in the sec if Ferris Field, present home of the Spokane Indians of the Northwest League, is one of the most unusual plants in organized ball. The only scats between midway down the first and third base lines is a towering combination press box, radio booth and business office, looking much like a miniature mis placed wooden grain elevator. In the extra vacant space are foundations for ritodcrn roofed stands but the people of the Inland Empire have not seen fit to put in enough hard cash into the baseball venture to make possible completion of the park that would scat a total of 8,700. Presently there are seats for 2,700, with only a. few chairs which provide back rests. Otherwise it is a park that baseball men in Spokane arc proud of. The turf is lush possibly the best in the pres ent seven-team class B circuit, or the ' old Western Interna tional League's parks for the former ten members of the loop. We feel, . however, through the efforts of the Em erald Empire baseball club, and especialy Bobby Doerr, our Bethel Park is the best we've seen in the league on an over-all basis. Whitey Thom son says the skinned infield at Ferris Field is hard and Ron Jackson rates the Bethel in field the best in the circuit. Cente'rfield Art Preston, who hasn't been charged with a sin gle error in the 36 games he has played with- the Ems (about 80 fielding chances) says his garden position is so dark balls hit in that area are difficult to see on the fly. Here are a couple of notes for the future on Bethel Park, at Preston's suggestion: 1) Have the scoreboard painted green to aid the hitters; 2) put a roof on the stands to eliminate part of the difficulty of watching fly balls behind white-shirted fans. Both of these have to do with day games only but the rook would also help the future comfort of the fans, especially those sitting behind the plate and along the first line. Preston also urges the groundskeeper to keep the "sump holo" in right center soft rather than to allow the rough spot to harden. k The Grandstand situation at Ferris Field came about in 1949, when a fire wiped out the main section of stands. Temporary stands were set up during the remaining seasons until the former park owner tore 'em down when the WIL"hit the rocks last season. Frank Herron, who did the radio reporting on the old Eugene Larks in 1050 for KERG, is now business manager of the Indians and doing a terrific job. He took over the post and quit his radio job because of his love for baseball and his confidence in the Inland Empire and the fans' eventual support of the Spo kane operation. The "Corporation," although wanting for funds, is in the process of purchasing the park which has extreme in dustrial property value with or without baseball, While Lewiston appears to be heading for financial troubles, we hear from the grapevine the reason for the "fold" story is more to drum up trade in Lewiston rather than actually ouittine the league. The Broncos followed the same formula during past seasons, we re ratner certain the Ems will be playing the Broncos in tne tour-game series at Lewiston starting Friday night. if uct your clothes on." That was the order given Ad Salalich by Manager Cliff Dap. per at Eugene last weekend fact of the matter is, Ad was in uniform and in the clubhouse. It was Ad's twin, Rudy, who was walking around the stands when cornered by Dapper. And our manager didn't know the difference until he spotted Ad in uniform. Rudy is also a bascballer and played for Portland University. It appears likely that a Satalich will soon represent the Uni versity of Oregon. A younger brother, Dick, Ad reports, is seri ously considering Oregon and the youngster played for Bill Carney in the Portland league. .Dick Satalich, 160 pounds and 5 feet, 10 inches, is a three sports All-Portland athlete. He won top honors in the all-city teams as a baseball thirdbaseman, a basketball guard, and a com bination offensive halfback and a linebacker in football. Portland May Buy Meadows PORTLAND IM The Portland Meadows race track, built in 1948 at a cost of two million dollars, has been offered to the City Ex- position-Rifreation Commission for $1,050,000, the Orcgonian re ported Wednesday. Members of the commission're- fused to comment, but the news paper said the commission might be able to take over the race track and pay off the $266,000 mortgage with rental revenues from dog and horse racing. The track is owned by the Port land Turf Assn. Ninety per cent of the association's stock is own ed by the California Jockey Club, which operates Bay Meadows track near San Francisco. The year the track opened It was badly damaged by the Van port flood. It has been in shaky financial condition since and this year was the first time it paid substantial dividends. In another development, Mult nomah County commissioners de cided to confer with the expo sition commission on the feasi bility of including the Multnomah County fair in the proposed sports center.
