JUNIOR BALL RACE
DOWN TO 8 TEAMS
Woodbum The race for the Am
erican Lesion Junior baseball chanv
plonahlp of Oregon has settled down
to eight teams, four of which will
enter the finals to be held at Legion
park here August 7 and 8.
Corvallls and Roseburg will meet
In a two-out-of-three game series
to determine the entrant from that
section. Corvallls defeated Newport
and Eugene to enter the sectional
finals while Roesburg swept through
all southern Oregon teams. Hood Rt
ver will meet Ontario with the win
ner of two out of three games enter
ing the tournament. The race in
Portland has narrowed down to two
teams, El Rey and Pos toff Ice Phar
macy, who are deadlocked for the top
rung. El Rey entered the tourney here
last year as the Portland represen
tative and won the state title, but
was ellmlnaed by the Washington
state team. Woodbum, Marion coun
ty and district champ, will meet
Estacada this week-end for the Wil
lamette valley championship, with
the winner entering the state finals.
Woodbum represented this section
last year but was eliminated by El
Rey in their first game and went on
to take third place with a smashing
victory over The Dalles.
Tickets for the state series are
now on sale by the Woodbum Legion
post.

At last a little information con
cerning our friend Dwight (Elmer)
Aden, who was bought by the Boston
Red Sox last spring, assigned to
Canton. Ohio, and then switched to
Lewiston, Idaho, of the Western
International circuit at the last mo
ment. A clipping sent us by "Frisco"
Edwards from the Lewiston Tribune
gives Aden's batting average as .285
as the result of 70 trips to the plate.
He has hit safety 20 times, Including
four 2-baggers. Aden is sixth on the
Lewiston batting list in the percent
age column which Is topped by Wes
Schulmerich with .417. The former
Willamette university fly chaser is
roaming center field for the Indians
and is batting as lead-off man.
Roger W. Peck. Tacoma, presi
dent of the Western-International
league, predicts a big fu
ture for tbe circuit. "Every town
in the league with the excep
tion of Vancouver is showing
refreshing attendance," Peck
told Lewiston fans on a recent
visit. "We have had our prob
lems, of course, but these pro
blems will occur in any new or
ganization of the class of the
Western-International." Frisco
Edwards and Bill Doran, who
were officiating at Lewiston dur
ing the time of Peck's visit, are
Civen credit for doing a good Job
of umpiring.

SILVERTON BALL
PARK OK SAYS
SHOE MANAGER
They can leave the fences of the
SUverton baseball park right where
they are. as far as Veme Harrington
is concerned.
Harrington, manager of the Ore
gon championship Reliable Shoe
team which opens its interstate
series against Johnson Paint of Ta
coma at Silverton Thursday at
8:30 p. m is all for having a deep
outfield.
"Ball games are ruined in parks
which have close fences where lazy
fly balls go for home runs all the
time," he said.
'Furthermore, Uie outfielders
don't really learn how to play the
outfield. They learn to play balls
off the fences, but when they get
into major league ball where the
parks are large they have to learn
how to chase them.
"The Silverton park is big enough
that outfielders have to turn their
backs at times and race toward the
fences to catch fly balls.
"It also puts base running and
throwing at a premium. A triple can
easily be stretched into a home
run unless the outfielders show
speed and make a good relay of the
ball.
"I think it would be a mistake to
shorten the field."
The fences of McGtnnls field at
Silverton are 365 feet from home
plate on Uie foul line and 390 feet
distant in centerfield. considerably
farther than at Portlands coast
league park.
Not a ball was smacked over
during the entire 30-game state
tournament, but there were several
home nins within the park and
one terrific drive bounced over for
a home run.
The Reliable Shoe players are
working out daily in Portland to be
In top shape for their best three out
of five games series with Johnson
Paint. Manager Harrington predic
ted that his charges will be In even
better shape for the playoff thsn
they were for- the tournament it
self. KORNSBY RELIEVED
