THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE KELSO WOLF PACK PLAYS SENATORS HERE SUNDAY SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1929 STRONG TEAM WILL MAKE ITS FIRST SHOWING Led by the redoubtable Manager Carl Pritchard, the Kelso Wolves, howling for fresh meat, will Invade Balem Sunday for the first time ftince the clubs of the Oregon Washington baseball league start ed playing along last May. . Man ager Edwards believes his Senators are too tough for the Wolves to masticate and figures on having a few pelts to hang on the fence at dinger field about 4:30 Sunday afternoon. There is no question that Kelso has one of the strongest teams in the league. Skipper Pritchard's crew has played Longview, the win ners of the first half pennant, vir tually on even terms. They have been beaten, but twice out of the last six games played. One of these contests was with Longview and the other with Mt. Scott. Such famil iar names as Trummervand Rent frow appear in the Kelso lineup. Anderson and Bealls usually make up the battery for the Wolves. Ed Cardinal will be behind the plate for the Senators' again Sun day. The big boy has been gracing the bench ever since he received a nasty dig in the leg from Beck er's spikes in the game with Al bany recently. Edwards is glad to have his receiver back in the game again. Forced to don the big mitt last Snnday, Frisco had a hard time making throws, on account of bis injured hand. Barham is scheduled to take the mound for the Senators. As both teams have been hitting hard during the past few games, it is not at all likely that the heavy artillery on both sides will be un leashed. A change In the second half league scheduled announced by President Oass gives Salem six games In a row. Longview will be here on July 14; Wolfers, July 21; M. Scott, July 28; Mt. Scott, August 4, and Montavilla, August 11. AMERICAN BOYS.
