THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE SENATORS OUT OF RACE FOR BASEBALL HONORS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1931 SOUTHEAST PORTLAND TEAM DEFEATS SALEM The Salem Senators dropped out of the race for baseball supremacy of the state bush leagues Sunday at dinger field when they were beat en, to 7, by the Southeast club of Portland. Andy Peterson, hereto fore, virtually unbeatable, had an off day and was forced to abandon the mound in the fifth In favor of Gardner. The latter, going into the game without much chance to warm up, yielded two runs in the sixth. After that the visitors fail ed to get a hit. It wasn't all Peterson's fault that the Senators lost the contest, a lot of Indecision during the fourth Inn ing when the bases were loaded proving costly. Southeast scored four runs on one hit In that ter rible session, and the queer part of it was that but one error was made and that one was entirely question able. It happened like this: Cal kins drew a base on balls and Gar lick went to first when he was hit by Peterson. Russell attempted to sacrifice but all hands were safe when the infield got mixed up try ing to field the effort. With the bases full, Buono laid down a bunt which was fielded by dinger. He handled the ball per fectly and threw to the plate to force Calkins. Messenger put the ball on the runner but as he turn ed when Calkins ran Into him the ball dropped to the ground. Um pire Gardner called the runner lafe but It appeared Messenger had made the put out. C. LeMear hit for two bases, bringing in two runners. Brauer was given a base on balls while Peterson bore down to fan Stump. All runners were cafe on Cox's attempted sacrifice while the bases were full once more. The side was finally retired when Peterson caught P. LeMears pop fly when he attempted to sacrifice and doubled C. LeMear off third. After Peterson had Issued two walks and yielded two hits in the filth for two scores, Pete walked from the diamond. Gardner hit Stump but fanned Cox for the third out. A hit batter, two singles and a sacrifice gave the Southeasterners their final two scores in the sixth. After that they failed to get a hit off the youthful Gresham twlrler. After Messenger had driven one of Brauer's offerings In the first Inning nearly to the footbridge over Mill creek for a home run, the Senators were held safely In check by the big southpaw until the eighth. In that session the Sena tors scored five runs on six hits. Including a triple by Zeke Glrod and doubles by T. Girod and Adolph. With three runs needed to tie the score and with two men on base, P. Glrod came to bat. He connected all right and for a moment It appeared the necessary runs were on tf.f road but Buono dashed the hopM of the locals when he made a brilliant one hand catch of the ball. The ninth Inning started auspi ciously when Messenger again hit for a circuit of the sacks. However the next three men went out In order. The game brought down the baseball curtain locally. Ollnger field will be converted Into a foot ball gridiron this week. Baseball has not proven a success in Salem this season, poor attendance has been the rule almost invariably de spite the fact that the Senators were out in front most of the time. Sunday there were almost as many fans roosting on the Southern Pa cific right of way as there were cash customers. The score:' Southeast AB R II PO A E Slump, If 4 0 1 2 0 0 Cox lb 6 0 0 9 0 0 E.

IIP) Nick Lu kats, Notre Dame fullback who was Injured In Saturday's scrimmage, may not be able to play In the open ing game against Indiana October 3. The loss of Lukats has convinced Coaches Heartly Anderson and Jack Chevlgny that the fullback position - ts Jinxed. Lukats Is the seventh full back lost to the Notre Dame squad since Joe Savoldl withdrew from school last year before the North western game. V. 8. TAKES CUP Venice ILP) The Daniel) cup, one of Italy's most prized motor boat tro phies, Monday was headed for the United States In the possession of Fred Gilbert. Gilbert, piloting his outboard racer, California, won the third and final race of the Daniel! eup series Sunday, averaging M .14 miles per hour. He previously had won the second race. Sport Slants By Alan J. Gould Football coaches, particularly In the south, who are planning exten sive experiments this fall with the new type of pigskin can go ahead without worrying over possible ac tion this year by the rules com mittee. Of course this matter of a toot- ball made of eight sections Instead of four hasn't as yet become an offi cial fact, so far as the game is con cerned. It will not until the season ANGELS, SEALS TIED FOR FIRST; DOCKS SPLIT 2 Br th United Frcu) It looked Sunday as if the Play off between the first and second half winners In the Coast league would be an all-California series. The San Francisco and Los An geles clubs were deadlocked for first place thanks to 10 to 1 and 6 to 5 victories of the Seals over the An gels Sunday. The Seals took the series, 5 to 2. Jimmle Zinn easily (beat trie Angels with 6 hits in the morning game while his mates shellacked Shealey and Stitzel. The Seals appeared licked In the af ternoon but a three -run rally of southpaw Moss In the ninth won the game. Henderson got the vic tory after relieving Willoughby. Portland was three and a half games behind the leaders by virtue of losing the odd game of the series to Seattle. Orwoll plastered the Indians 8 to 0 in the first game. The Beavers got 13 hits off McGraw ana fiartwtg, including nomers by Monroe, and Fen ton. Orwoll gave but 7 hits. In the final, Seattle beat Junk Walters, 4 to 3. It went seven In nings by agreement. Phil Page, who relieved Ray Keating, took the win. Oakland was within easy strik ing distance of the Seals and Angels by virtue of splitting a double bill with Sacramento. The Oaks won the morning game at Stockton, 4 to 3 but In the afternoon they fell before Pitcher Ed Bryan, 10 to 3. Ludolph took the afternoon defeat. The Missions took the series from Hollywood by dividing a double bill. The Missions won the first game, 2 to 1 with Norman Brlggs, Tuscan recruit, giving but five hits. Holly wood took the nightcap, 4 to 0, when Emtl Yde allowed but 2 hits. This week will be a split week, with Sacramento opening Monday night at Portland. The final series of the season will be played in Cal ifornia parks next week. OREGON STATE WILL MEET STRONG TEAM Boulder City, Colo. (IP) Colorado U. with what Is touted as the most promising team of the last five years meets Oregon State at Port land Saturday with high hopes. Those gentlemen who practice prog nostication pronounce the coming Silver and Gold squad the probable contender with Utah university on Nov. 14 when the championship of the conference Is decided. Myron Wltham has much of his 1930 material In uniform again this year, and with It has an al most Intact 1930 freshman team which Is causing the varsity to lose sleep at nights. Bob Nelson, a former Denver nigh school bov. ap pears as the probable star of Wit ham's aggregation. Nelson, at full back, has proven himself adept to pushing through the line, or at holding It up. ns may be reuired. Is started and the first new pigskin is booted Into play. An official of the rules committee, who for that very reason does not want to be quoted officially, has this to say about the matter: "Naturally the new football has come to the attention of the com mittee but there has been no official discussion. There win not be, either, until teams have had a chance to play with the ball and we have had an opportunity to weigh the results of actual play. "But of course there have been In formal discussions and some of the faults of the new ball have come to the surface. "The chief complaint of those who nave tried the new pigskin seems to be that it does not rebound as the old one does when dropped to the ground for a drop kick. "The chief advantage held forth Is that a ball of eight sections, with eight seams binding the sections to gether Instead of four. Is easier to pass. "Most passers, though, lay their fingers on the laces of the ball and grip one seam with the thumb. No matter how many seams there are to grip there will still remain only one thumb to grip with and only one set of laces for the fingers. "The new ball does seem to have more accuracy because of the in creased wind resistance against the added four seams, "One possibility that seems to have been overlooked, however, Js the chance that Inferior leather will creep Into the manufacture of the ball. "The present ball, with four sec tions, requires the use of fairly large pieces of leather and fine quality Is necessary. The smaller strips can be cut from Inferior leather." HANDLES REALLY NEEDED Only In the south, where the new ball first was Introduced, has the eight-section pigskin been given serious consideration although Andy Kerr, at Colgate, will give It a test to see If It really makes forward passing easier. There has been no change in size or shape. And the boys will tell you that seams or no seams, a football never will be really easier to propel until they put handles on them. WTLCAT-aRISH" ENCORE You can hear plenty of chatter already about the early season en gagement between Notre Dame and Northwestern at soldier tieia. These two were heated rivals for national honors last fall when they collided at Evanston, with the Fighting Irish on top. Both have powerful teams again and Dick Hanley's Wildcats are hopeful of gaining revenge at tne expense of tne Rocxne-iess Ram blers. We expect Notre Dame to be as atronir this year as last," Spud Lewis, Northwestern backfleld coach, told me between rounas 01 me golfing battle at Beverly. "The Rockne spirit Is carrying on at South Bend to a remarkable ex tent. But Northwestern also will be strong. Our great passer, Pug Rent ner, Is back and that will add con siderably to our attaching strength." Charges suitable to present times Day and Night Calls Dr. B. H.

The Beavers started slowly and were held to 30 points In the first half. When 8pec Keene, Willamette coach, sent In a third string lineup In the second half me ueavers ran wild. Bergerson, Schwammel and Hammer stood out on the Oregon State line while Jones at right tackle was one of Willamette luminaries. Stanford used six full teams In rolling West Coast Army, 49 to 0, at Palo Alto. Coach Warner's new lateral shift bothered the army eleven. Outstanding games next Saturday will be the classic St. Mary's-South-em California game at Los An geles and the Oregon State-Colo rado university Shrine benefit game in Portland, southern California is the favorite but St, Mary's has many supporters. Oregon will play Monmouth at Eugene Friday night and Willam ette, (he following night.

Timber Sales Drop From Previous Total The federal policy of restricting timber sales In national forests last year prevented to some extent a worse depression than now experi enced by Oregon lumbermen. Ow ing chiefly to declines In timber sales, national forest receipts de clined 11,798,673 from the 6,7M, 553 total of last year. BOSTON BRAVES DR0PT07TH; RED SOX CLIMB New York (IP) Boston's two major league clubs are having contrasting experiences In the late season com petition. Judge Emll Puchs' Braves, who played an Important part In the Na tional league's early competition and who, at one time, appeared headed for a first division berth, are find ing rough going and have dropped to seventh place. The Red 8ox, re garded as the door mat of the Am erican league now are in a fair way to take fifth place. At present the Red Sox are tied with Detroit for the top second di vision berth. The Braves dropped to seventh place Sunday when they lost a dou ble header to Cincinnati, 6 to 3 and 14 to 5. The Chicago Cubs also won two games as the result of concerted at tacks, defeating the New York Gi ants, 16 to 6 and 7 to 6. Double headers between New York and Cleveland and Washington and Chicago were the only American league competition. New York won both of Its games, 7 to 0 and 10 to 4 to maintain a one-game lead over Washington In the fight for second place. Lou Gehrig hit his 45th homer of the season In the first game and Babe Ruth kept pace by hitting his 44th in the second. Washington also won twice 4 to 3 and 6 to 4. KEENE SATISFIED WITH SQUAD; TO DEVELOP TEAM The first casualty of the 1931 football season struck Coach Keene's Bearcat squad Sunday, when Eugene Ferguson, backfleld candidate was taken to a local hospital, suffering from acute ap pendlcltlts. Ferguson, who has been showing up exceptionally - welt In early practice sessions will likely be out of the game until the first conference contest. Not an injury was reported as the result of the 76 to 0 beating Willamette took at the hands of Oregon State Saturday night, con sequently the squad was prepared Monday to settle down to prepar ing for the game with Oregon at Eugene next Saturday night with out delay. Coach Keene and his assistant, Howard Maple, stated Monday they were well pleased with the perfor mances of their men Saturday night. "We learned what they would do under fire," the Willa mette mentor added. This week will see the formation of three or four teams at the Bear cat school, Keene states. It Is like ly that when the Webfoots are taken on, substitutions will be made by whole teams rather than by piecemeal as was the case against the Orangemen. The contest with Oregon will give the local coaches further opportunity to Judge the nullities of the men In their charge and with this game out of the way work of building a winning ma chine can proceed without further delay. Mounting Fatalities Scanned by Officers Safety In automobile driving la a negative thing, explained state of ficers. "We must remember that our greatest services to mankind often are things that do not happen the accidents, errors, crimes that we prevent. 'Not since 1916 when records of deaths from automobile accidents were first compiled, have we en Joyed a reduction In fatalities In any succeeding years. The drain is more than any nation can with stand. Safety education on how not to have accidents happen, be ginning at school, Is needed to di minish the destruction," traffic men believed. OREGON OPENS FOOTBALL YEAR AGAINST O.S.N. university of Oreaon. Eugene Oregon will open Its 1931 football season with a two game series against Monmouth Normal and Willamette university here, on the nights of September 25 and 36. An almost entirely Inexperienced team will take the field for the Webfoots this season. Dr. Clarence W. Spears, head coach, will depend on several sophomores to take the places of such stars as Johnny KlUmlller, the famed "flylns Dutchman," Austin Colbert, George Christensen, Jerry Llllle, John Don ohue, Marion Hall, and Ralph Bates. An all - sophomore backflold, which Dr. Spears has been using in practice, will probably start In the Monmouth and Willamette tilts. The leading sophomore backfleld performers Include Joe Ltllard, Mark Temple, Romey de Plltard, Mike Mikulak, Howard Bobbltt, Lelghton Gee and Ray Kelly. All of these will see service next week. Oregon will Inaugurate Its first ladles' night, Friday, for the Mon mouth game, when all women will be admitted free of charge.
