And with the exception of one or two key positions the Hop Gold team of the state baseball league will be made up of high school players or who have been out of the prop schools but a short time. Brooks will send an almost entirely new aggrega tion against Bend Sunday in the season's opener. The only hold over from a year ago -is "Red" Miller, southpaw pitcher. Teaming up with Miller, will be Johnny Loevich, who caught for Astoria last season and is said to have been offered contracts for several professional clubs. The in field will include Gene Sptker at first, Bob Baer at second, "Wimpy" Qulnn at short and Gordon Wil liamson, third. Thes: youngsters are all high school jKiformers.

"Buzz" Hagecorn and Harry Walcott, two southpaws wlil hold down outfield positions. Manager Clyde Stokoe of the Bend Elks has signed Tommy Hawkins, catcher on this , year's University of Portland nine. Hawkins has been doing most of the receiving for Bill Hatch during his two years with the Pilots. "Frisco" Edwards, manager of the Salem Senators, who make their 1036 State league debut at Eugene next Sunday, had a generous im pulse a week ago while aome of his aggregation was placing the pris oners at the state penitentiary. Not ing that the boys inside the wall had nothing but a few old splintery bats lined up, Edwards made a men tal resolution to donete a few of his own hold-over willow clubs "after the game." Al Becktt, club presi dent, had also taken notice of the prisoners' lack of wurclubs. How ever, Al acted immediately and gathered up an armful of wood and lugged it over to the other bench. This occurred in the ninth innint,' with the Senators leading 8 to 7. Crosswhlte, chief moundsman for the prison Inmates' ptckeu out one of the largest of the recently ac quired bats and immediately con nected for a two bagger. A fellow prisoner advanced him and ""Fris co" signalled "Squeak" Wilson to walk the next man and fill the bas- Wilson then retired the side by fanning the third man Two prominent Salem trap men became so enthusiastic over the shooting at Toledo last Sun day they barely ear aped being forced to remain In the bay city all night. Their enthusiasm for trigger pulling not having been abated by the afternoon tourna ment, these two mm started a session of their own by moon light. While one threw targets against the light of the moon with a hand trap the other blazed away. Their compan ions drove away and left them thorc. Later they repented and the moonlight shooter were not forced to walk home. GETTING AROUND because it's Soft-Stilled Does melting ice ruin the flavor of your gin drinks?
