TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1930 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON PAGE THREE CANADA AND AMERICA MEET FOR A THLETIC TITLE BEST MEN OF TWO COUNTRIES CLASH ON FIELD Chicago MP) The struggle for track and field supremacy among the English speaking peoples of the world, between Great Britain and the United States, was temporarily forgotten Tuesday as Chicago turn ed out to greet the athletes of both nations. Battle plans were postponed for ceremonies, parades, luncheons and and receptions were on the program for the welcoming of Lord David Burghley, captain of the Empire team, and his stars, and for Uncle Sam's standard bearers. The American team was to arrive first and participate in the welcome to the British team. A workout in Soldier field, where the championship meet will be held under artificial lights Wednesday night, was set for Tuesday alter noon. In spite of Uncle Sam big rec ognized superiority In the field events, the British were confident of scoring their first victory in four meets with the Americans. The Em pire games at Hamilton, Ont., pro duced some excellent performances in the longer running races and Great Britain was accorded the edge in the longer running events. The United States, however, figured on taking the 400-yard relay and pos sibly the one mile relay, to augment the expected victories on the field. Percy Williams, who tof the 1928 Olympic championships in the 100 and 200-meter dashes back to Can ada, accompanied the British team as it left Hamilton Monday, but was out of the battle because of a pulled tendon, suffered In the finals of the 100-yard dash in the Ernplre games.

KICHARDS HAVE GIRL Silverton An eight pound daugh ter was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Richard at the Silverton hospital Monday morning. Dbtrlbated by GENERAL GROCERY COMPANY Salem Salem Pacer O 1 f1 Jh "Maxie Benglne", highly-touted horse owned by Sam Bush of Salem, is to be entered in the 2:20 and 2:25 pace events at the Oregon State fair Sept. 22 to 28. "Mule" is shown being called "nice horsey" by pretty Betty May Lawrence, Hollywood actress, who recently visited the fairgrounds. This Game OLF It isn't art, and it isn't war, and most critics say it isn't golf, but the 1 fact remains that there are now 25,000 of these miniature golf cours es scattered about the face of our native land. Investments adding up to $125, 000,000 are represented thereby and several economic experts have paid the funny little game th; serious compliment of considering it an in dustrial factor in staving off a busi ness depression. With at least one national open championship in prospect and this correspondent named on the na tional committee, along with Grant land Rice, it is not becoming in me to spoof the earnest toilers on these manifold embryonic golf courses, They certainly are taking the pas time solemnly enough. In my home town, and, I am told, in many other home towns, the young of the species are going out and buying themselves plus-fours and pastel hosiery and variegated footgear. They make dates with oth er young of the species, and spend hours and hours of a. moonlit eve ning under electric lights, imitating a motorboat. Now, this miniature business that has run Into big business may not be golf. But no less an authority than Alex Pirie, president of the Professional Golfers association of America, gives it as his opinion that the miniaturists of today are the golfers of the future. They are not playing golf, of course, this is my own notion. On a golf course you do not approach the hole through tunnels or chutes or dog-houees. The miniaturists will find rS:en they essay the orthodox game, ft is sufficiently difficult to get the little white ball into the lit tle round hole when nothing inter venes but a modest segment of an acre of billard -table putting surface. Practically the only similarity be tween this new game and golf is that it is performed with a golf ball and 'something like a golf club. But Mr. Pirie's idea is that the Tom Thumb game, not appealing especially to golfers, attracts to its eccentric little confines a great many thousand persons who otherwise would never think of starting out on a golf course. Then, when the victim does a round of 18 so-called holes In 55 strokes, he Inclines to ask ports editors what was the best score Bobby Jones ever did in golf. Then he says (to himself): "A 63, huh? Well, I believe I'll have a look at a golf course. DONALD BOYS PLAY DonaldAlbert Lemcke, Hugh and Leonard Gearin, played ball with the Oregon City Speedway team at Shad-E-Acres last Sun day, resulting in a score of 6 to 5 for the latter team.

HORLICK'S a ACINI. WISCONSIN - in Fait Races O.B. KEELER BREAKS DECIDE JUNIOR GAME, EDWARDS SAYS Well satisfied by the showing his youngsters made, but naturally dis appointed that they didn't get a shot at the championship Leo Ed wards returned to Salem Monday with his Sllverton American Legion Junior baseball team from Colorado Springs where the semi-finals were held last week in the race for junior supremacy of the United State "The boys played a fine game and hustled all the time,' Frisco stated. "They were good sports and took their loss philosophically, "We didn't get a Ipeak during the entire affair. If we had drawn a bye In place of New Orleans, it might have resulted differently. "That smash of Schwab's came in the sixth and not In the ninth as was reported here. With three men on bases, Schwab came up and straightened one out into left field. It sure looked like a safe hit. How ever, Iong Beach's left fielder, af ter taking one glance at the on coming pellet started racing back. After taking several steps he glanc ed back over his shoulder, saw the ball, and stuck out his left hand. The ball centered his mitt and stuck. "On another occasion we had the bases full with nobody out, but couldn't put over a run." The umpiring was nothing to write home about, Edwards says. He says the arbiters were perfectly hon est in their decisions, favoring nei ther side, but the game was simply too fast for them. The umpiring was done by a couple of Colorado Springs men. The Silverton boys proved popular, Coach Edwards states, with most of the fans pulling for the Oregon youngsters to win. NURSES IN NEW HOME Mt. Angel Miss Louise Butsch has returned to St Vincent's hospi tal, Portland, where she is taking up nurse's training, after spending several weeks' vacation at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Butsch.

To Spread Woe as Athletics Go Down By ASSOCIATED PRESS Back in 1915 a youth of 23 years, with a mediocre minor league record, and answering to the name of Samuel Fond Jones, made his bow to major league baseball as a member of the Cleveland Indians. The boy from Woodsfleld, Ohio, who cost the Indians $800, wandered in the American league, from Cleve land to Boston. New York, St. Louis, , and finally to Washington. Before he reached the Senators In 1927 his name had been shortened to "Sad Sam." Maybe it was because of the expression on his face, or his ability to spread grief among opposing batsmen or again It may have been the fact that he played in four world series without winning a game. Sad Sam Is still In Washington, spreading grief, especially among the Philadelphia Athletics as they strive to tighten their grip on the league leadership. Although 38 years of age and lacking much of the speed and deceptiveneVs that has kept his all-time pitching rec ord above the .500 mark. Sad Sam still retains his cunning and la us ing it to aid Walter Johnson and the Senators In the battle to oust the Athletics from the league lead ership. He has defeated the A's in three out of four games. Jones accounted for his sixth straight game, in five of which he started and finished, Monday in downing the Athletics 3 to 2. Lefty Grove was opposing him but Sad Sam set the champions down with only six hits and broke Groves' string of eight consecutive triumphs. Lending powerful aid to Jones, was 24-year-old Joe Cronin swing ing a wicked bat. He accounted for all of the Senators' runs, sending Heinle Manush across in the fourth, witiY a drive into the field stands and scorir Sam Rice with a single In the eighth, wit hwhat proved to be the winning tally . The only otner game p ayed in either of the major leagues saw the Detroit Tigers take the measure of the St. Louis Browns 7 to & after Tom Bridges, rookie hurler from the Three-eye league, had Issued 12 bas es on balls, Bridge., who has a record of strik ing out 160 batsmen in 12 consecu tive games last year, received credit for winning his first major league start although Waite Hoyt was call ed to the rescue in the ninth with two men out. Previous to Hoyt'e ap pearance FerreH had cleaned the loaded bases with, a triple. Bridges may have been wild but he was stingy with hits, giving the Browns only seven. Pratum Mrs. A. W.
