THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON GIANTS NEED BUT TWO VICTORIES TO ANNEX FLAG MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1936 SWEEP SERIES WITH DODGERS; CHICAGO WINS (By Associated Pren) This national league pennant chase that had the boys guessing for weeks is Just a cut and dried affair now. The giants, needing but two games to nail the flag to their mast, should clinch the champion ship tomorrow or Wednesday, at the latest. Of course, they could Blow up completely and lose all of their re maining eight games and stranger things have happened in the dia mond game but It seems impos sible, with Carl Hubbell on tap to stop any such calamity. These last few days things have been breaking Just right for Bill Terry's troupe. They swept their three-game series with the Dod gers, winding up with a 5-0 win yesterday behind Pat Freddy P1U simmons' six-hit pitching Job. At the same time, the Cardinals and Cubs have been killing each other's chances of catching up by alternating in their series In Chi cago. It was Chicago's tum again yesterday and with Bill Lee pitch ing a four-hitter and Johnny Oill coming through with a three-run, eighth-inning homer, the Cubs best ed Dizzy Dean and the Gas House Gang 4-3 to regain second place. All this left the Giants six full games in front of the Cubs and 6!4 ahead of the Cards. The Pirates, apparently trying to get in position to slip past either the Cubs or Cards, or both, clubbed the Beds In both ends of a double header to take a spot only two games back of the Gas House Gang. Cy Blanton's four hit pitching fea tured a 6-1 victory in the opener, and Red Lucas hurled effectively to take the nightcap 6-4. Sunday's results: National: Boston 8-6, Philadel phia 3-5; Pittsburgh 5-6, Cincinnati 1-4; Chicago 4. 8t. Louis 3; Brook lyn 0, New York 5. American: New York 1-8, Wash ington 6-2: Philadelphia 3-5.

CLACKAMAS TO BE RESTOCKED SALMON Aurora The second move to re plant the Clackamas river with sal mon was completed Wednesday when 25.000 Chinook flngerllngs were placed In the north fork of the river about half a mile above Straight's crossing. About three weeks ago 22.000 fln gerllngs were planted in the Oak Grove fork of the Clackamas river near the Oak Grove ranger station. The planting Wednesday was made possible by the cooperation of the Oregon fish commission and the fish and game commission, the former furnishing the fish and the latter the truck to transport them and two fish and game employes to do the work. This program Is the result of the Clackamas county planning board for construction of adequate fish ladders In the Clackamas river and re-stocking the upper river with the Idea of bringing it back as a salmon stream within the next four years. Those making the trip Wednes day were Bernard Schoenburg. chairman of the planning board; E. A. Koen. ehairman of the board's fish commission; Sergeant George Bohrer, of the state police, and Al bert Estes, representing the Clacka mas county sportsmen's association.

They'll be here biggest games. Duke's Blue Devils, who opened last Saturday night with a 3-0 victory over Davidson, a new southern conference rival, meet the Red Raiders of Colgate. Minne sota and Washington open against each other at Seattle and Louisiana State, southern conference contend er, meets the Rice Owls of the southwest conference at Baton SLANTS b-y Pap The manner in which the New York Yankees romped off with the pennant robbed the American league race of much of Its usual Interest, but there was plenty of drama which should not be overlooked. The sensa tional drive of the Chicago White Sox, who were generally picked to finish well down in the second divi sion, is deserving of much praise. The Job little Jimmy Dykes has turned in with a bunch of castoffs should net him more than an hon orable mention. Perhaps It was because Jimmy himself was cast off by Connie Mack when he seemed to be nearing the -end of his playing career that he was able to work wonders with a group of players , who had been shunted about the American league. Whatever the reason he did it . . . and more power to him. Three years ago Connie' Mack sold Dykes to the White Sox. He figured that Jimmy's days as a big league ball player were numbered. Dykes has slowed up a bit around third base, but he still has one of the best throwing arms in the business. And then, too, how was Connie Mack to know that he was turning over a potentially great manager to the White Sox? Jimmy Dyke has won his spurs as a big league manager. There Is no doubt about that. He knows how to play ball but, even more Important, he knows how to handle men and how to make them work for him. It hasn't been all luck with Dykes In the matter of picking up ball play era who had, to all appearances, outlived their usefulness, or had failed to measure up to the big league standard. He sized them up on what they were capable of doing, not on what their rec ords showed. He has been right In too many Instances to call it luck. Take the case of Vemon Kennedy, the leading Sox hurler and the first pitcher to ring up 20 victories In the American league this season. Connie turned him loose after a trial. Dykes took a flyer on Bill Dietrich, another castoff who failed to hold on with Washington after Mack had passed him up. Rip Radcliff wore the uniform of the Philadel phia Athletics for a while but could not win a place on the A's roster. Mule Haas is another who passed on to Chicago after having served under Connie Mack's banner. When Washington no longer wanted Luke SeweU he went to the White Sox. Few big league catchers are a smart behind the plate. The veteran gave Chi cago a high grade of backstop ping and, while be Is no Bill Dickey, SeweU more than makes up for It In the flawless manner in which he handles pitchers. Washington passed up Jack Hayes a few years back because he could not hit. Yet this same Hayes, under Jimmy Dykes, has been thumping the ball at a 200 clip most of the season. He ha been dependable m the field, too. And then there Is Tony Pitt, another castoff. Tony has been doing all right for the 8ox de spite the fact that he had outlived his usefulness in the National league. Dykes has one of the smartest eoaches In the business In "Mud dy" RueL The suocese of several White Sox pitchers Is hie suc cess. There Is little about the business of tossing 'em op that the little veteran does not know. He. Is largely responsible .for WHITEY WAHLBERG '-VS.

He forecast a 50.000 crowd, which would be the largest fight attend ance in Philadelphia since that same Dempsey-Tunney "battle of the rain" in 1926.

Southern Pacific A. F. NOTH. Passeneer Agent Telephone 4408 Skits and Scratches BY FRED ZIMMERMAN Capital Journal Sport Editor Apparently the major baseball clubs feel thai the new style scout ing scheme such as was InauguiBted here early in the summer by the New Yorjt Yankees, Is a success. Medford, Ore., and Spokane, Wash, are to have similar programs this fall. The sponsor in these two occa sions is the Durham club of the class B Pltdmont league, a farm organi zation owned by the Cincinnati Reds. The Medford trials are to be held from September 28 .to October 4. At Spokane the dates are from October 6 to 12. The Reds' camps are operated like the one conducted by the Yanks, The candidates miat be between the ages of 17 and 21 and must pay their own travel' ing expenses as well as their meal and room charges while attending "school." Instructors In camp will Include Bobby Wal lace. George Kelly, Tom Shee ban, Mickey Shader and several others. The "school" Idea is a good one for tne clubs sponsoring them at least. It brings a large number of potential big leaguers together where they can take part in actual games. At the same time it cuts down tra veling expenses for the scouts. About the only expense they are to is the cost of a couple dozen baseballs. Charles E Chapman, Orlnda, Cal., Pacific coast agent for the Durham club, will be in charge of the Med ford and Spokane workouts. Reports that Curley Feldtman is angling for a first-class op ponent for Tiny Cooper, holder of the heavyweight belt for Ore gon, wlU be greeted with cheers by the long suffering fans. It's all right to bring in one or two flat footed ancients for Cooper to work on. but it's an Imposi tion on the cash customers to continue the practice indefin itely. This Lorn ski-Lev insky thing they are pulling Portland tomorrow night may possibly tum out to be a real show. However, a number of local fans who put their cash on the line to see Maxle Baer play them for a bunch of suckers have not foi gotten the affair. The Aberdeen "assassin" and the "knigfish" are rapidly ap proaching the grey beard class. From this neck of the woods the bout looks suspiciously like an attempt to put a little cash into the two prur clpals' pockets. If that Is the case it might be a good idea to book it as a "charity" fight. ORANGEMEN LEAVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT Corvallis, Ore.. Sept. 21 (flV-The Oregon State college grid team ap parently was rounding into condi tion rapidly today in preparation for the game with Southern California at Los Angeles Saturday.

PILOTS SETTLE DOWN TO WORK Portland, Ore, Sept. 31 (TV-The University of Portland, off to a fruit ful but unimpressive start with a 14 to 0 victory over Pacific University, settled down to a week of hard work today in preparation for the grid battle with the University of Ore gon at Eugene Friday night. The Pilots came through Satur days game in good shape despite the hot weather and frequent minor in juries. The warmth was not con ductive to good football. Times out were numerous and substitutions still more so. The Portlanders showed plenty of potential power, however. Dunstan. 213-pound tackle, gave the Pilots tiieir first scoring chance by block ing Olaen's punt and racing 30 yards to the goal. Sullivan. Pilot left half, stole the show in the next touchdown by re turn Itr a punt 20 yards to Pacific's 22 and then twisting through for 20 yards and 'six points a few plays 1st er. Ray Vengelen, diminutive Pilot quarter, kicked both extra points. All the scoring came in the first period. Pacific put up a stubborn defense the remainder of the game and turned back three Portland threats. The visitors plowed to en emy territory only once. Portland made 11 first downs and gained 210 yards from scrimmage while Pacific made four first downs and gained 26 yards. Outstanding defensive player was Ted Wiles, veteran Pacific guard. Dunstan and Sullivan starred in Portland's offense.
