THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1937 y Skits and Scratches By FRED ZIMMERMAN Capital Journal 8 porta Editor SECOND PLACE AT STAKE TONIGHTS CONTEST Gene O'Orady, northwest heavy weight, who made two or three ap pearances in the Salem ring, be lieves he Is being given the round around by Tiny Cooper. Cooper ha locked up among hu trophies. couple of belts which O'Grady cov ets. One Is emblematic of the Ore gon state heavyweight title and the other for northwest honors. Un able to force Cooper "out of his shell" as he terms It, O'Orady has placed the matter before the Salem boxing commission. "I have tried consistently for the last four months to get a bout with Cooper but seem to be getting the run around," complains Gene. I have asked Mveral promoters If they will line op the bout but they have been unable to get Mr. Cooper to sign up. I boxed Cooper In Portland over a year ago before Cooper held any title and beat him decisively. Later I boxed him In Salem and Cooper was handed a present of the deci sion. Cooper beat Chuck Nlck ason of Vancouver, B. C, for the heavyweight championship of the northwest and I saw a lot of bis weak points In that bout and I'm willing to gamble the purse that I would hand him a kayo. If Cooper will go for It I will bet $250 on the side," Might be a good idea for Jack Mc Carthy to see what he can do about bringing the two leather a lingers together. This town hasn't seen a good scrap in several weeks and one between Cooper and O'Orady might rejuvenate the boxing game In these parts. Although we have Just about given up hope that box ing will ever be revived. The fans seem to prefer Herb Owen's vau deville performance, commonly known as wrestling, and since the fans pay the freight, they get what they order. Bob Taylor, generalissimo of the statehouse cotters has agreed to a change In dates for the fall clash between Oregon and Washington. The contest will take place September 19 In stead of September 12 at the i Coweeman course In Kelso. State fair and a number of va cations coming; up during the first two weeks of next month was given as the cause for the change. Incidentally the Ore gon divot diggers lost the spring match to Washington, While on the subject of golf It might be well to point out that lour of the world's best known club wlelders will be In Salem the after noon of Saturday, August 21. They are Lawson Little, Jimmy Thomp son, Horton Smith and Harry Coop er. Their presence at the Salem Golf club was arranged by the Sa lem Active club, the organization which got behind the city-wide tournament of last spring. Just how they managed It, we do not know, but the Active club commit tee, says there will be no gallery fee pd fans 111 be welcome to trail the foursome during the aft ernoon. Any one ambitious to take a real swim August 22 would do well to contact Bob Smith at the y.M.C.A. Bob Is In receipt of a number of application blanks calling for participation In the annual Columbia river five mile marathon, sponsored by the Vancouver Anchor club. Wlf Needham, who will enter Stanford university next fall as a Junior, holds the record In the five mile event for men at Vancouver. He swam the dis tance n 1933 In 1 hoar, 4 min utes and 55 seconds.

One full game out of second place. the Papermakers, paced by Crow foot, their windmill chucked, will endeavor to pull up even with Hogg Brothers In the second game 01 to night's doubleheader at Swettland field. The paper men have grad ually Increased their prestige in the league and while there undoubtedly will be a play-off between second and third place winners at the con clusion of the regular season, this apparently does not detract from the rivalry existing Between tne two outflta. The Papermakera have strong desire to finish the summer season in second place; Hogg Bro thers do not contemplate relin quishing their grasp on the second rung and will battle to defend their position. They will probably aena George Roth against the paper men. There will be little at stake In the first game between the Eaglea and Square Deal unless it la to deter mine which club will occupy the cellar. Last night's play In the Junior division resulted in Golden Pheas ant beating Bosler's 8 to 3, while Pade's won over Valley Motor 8-3. The Pheasants sewed up the con test in the first and second Innings when they scored four and three runs respectively. One of Bosler's tallies came as the result of a home run by Lindstrom. Valley Motor did not score against Pade's until the sixth when they pushed over three runs. Sev en errors on the part of the motor ists did not help their cause to any great extent.

REPORT Water la low and elear In all streams with the exception of the North Santlam river which is occa sionally milky below where White water creek enters, Lyle E. Moss, protective assistant, stationed at the Detroit ranger station, reported to day in connection with fishing and road conditions In the Santlam wa tershed. Good catches have been made from Daly, Twin, Parrish, Marion, Tumble and Duffy lakes. Among the most popular flies used are ginger quill, bucktall caddis, bucktall coachman and blue upright. The North Santlam highway Is open and In very good condition to Bend and points east via Detroit. Breltenbush road is In good condition to Breltenbush and Olallle lakea and points north.

Scar Mountain road Is open to end of road from North Santlam highway. PITCHERS MOAN ABOUT SIZE OF PHILLIES PARK isr asroi.ua rreM) Ask any National league Phila delphia pitcher to describe an egg crate, and the answer, nine times out of ten, will be the Phillies ball park. "You can stand at home plate In that she box," Is the general reply, "and pretty near throw a grand piano over that short right field wall. The boundaries are so close, that wnen you get up there to pitch, you haven t got room tor your wlndup. Any pitcher whs gets past a game there, deserve the congressional medal." That's the reason the Phils are playing cellar ball at home In the national league, and show nearly a first division record on the road. It also explains why the loop's pitchers would rather take a salary cut than work In Baker bowl, and why two of the better flingers, Bucky Walters and rookie Lefty La master, each have better than .800 averages away from home this sea son, and get their ears knocked off more often than not In Phila delphia. The Giants and Cardinals are crying for flingers with their stuff, but with the Phils, because of that 280-foot right field home run tar get, they're as wasted as a bet on a long shot against War Admiral. Every club la supposed to show to better advantage In their own back yard but the Phils havent a chance. To date this year, they've won 24 on the road and only 16 at home and have dropped 23 on tour and 34 In Baker bowl. No wonder they're In the cellar.

That was 11 years ago today and today Gertrude Ederle sat on the little porch of her frame home as some of those who remembered came by and said hello. She said she might go into the water later In the day. "Not for a swim," she explained. "I don't go swimming any more; I go bath ing." She laughed when she said It. She's got just as good a laugh now as she had 11 years ago and she still can laugh at the fortune she brushed right past without recog nizing. It waa C. C.
