(By the Aisoclated Press) The Salem Senators staged a seventh Inning five run rally that included two homers to defeat the Vancouver Capilanos 10-8 in Van couver last night, taking the West ern International league series 2-1. Ed Wilson started the drive with a circuit clout. Two singles and a walk filled the bases and then Moose Clabaugh hit a homer. Bunching all but one of their runs In the first two Innings the Yakima Pippins defeated the Wenatchee Chiefs 10-6 In Wenatchee. Manager Goldie Holt of the Pippins hit a homer. Jimmy Jewell and Mel Cole got homers for the Chiefs. A five run blast in the third Inn ing gave the Spokane Indians a 9-7 victory over the Tacoma Tigers and the series 2-1. The Tigers staged a rally of their own in the seventh, good for four runs, one short of knotting the count. Smead Jolley sparked the Indians' attack with a three run double that drove Charles Schanz from the mound in the third.

Chilean Takes Unmerciful Beating, Louis By Henry McLemore New York, June 21 (U.R) "Boys, no pictures." These were Bill Brown's words to the photographers after his first look at Arturo Oodoy in the South American's dressing room after his knockout by Joe Louis. This three word order by the ab lest of New York's boxing commis sioners tells almost the whole story of last night's fight for the world's heavyweight championship. Before he fell for the third and final time in the eighth round Godoy took beating that few animals could have endured. For 22 minutes and 21 seconds until he pitched forward to land on the back of his neck, bloody, almost blind, and out of his senses he was persecuted as mercilessly as a bull in an arena. So closely did the fight parallel a bull fight, with the big, helpless, clumsy but terribly brave Chilean serving as the bull, and the fast, sure, confident, and quick- striking Louis playing the role of matador, one would not have been surprised had Louis, at the kill, tak en an ear of his foe and thrown It to the crowd. Had Louis done this Oodoy would not have known the difference, be cause the South American had been punched beyond reason at this point. All he had left at the finish was an inner spark of courage that some how enabled him to wrest himself loose from the referee's arms and, on legs of rubber, totter toward the champion's corner to carry on the fight. Ten policemen were needed to pinion his arms to his side and strong-arm him back to his comer. As for Louis, last night's fight, which marked his 11th defense of his title, showed him at his very best as a fighter. Softball Games At 8 Tonight Two regulation Softball frame will be played tonight on Sweetland field beginning at 8 o'rlork. The first contest will brliur together Schoen's Bakers and the Pnpermakcrs.

Paper Mill Clubs Double Winners The paper mill's entrants In the Iisdustrial Softball circuit turned in wins last night. It was the sec ond time within a week they had turned this trick.

Then Guef- froy hit to right only to have the right fielder subsequently muff the play. Morgan countered and Pade Barrick supporters were beginning to see the victory light. One run was needed to tie for the score was 5-8. Elliot bingled Infield, but Guef- froy was caught at third. Moore struck out and hopes fell. Dependa ble Mary Bennett eased the situa tion with a single but things ended as Saalfeld popped out. The Florists hit Morgan hard In the four Innings. They collected a run in the first from Evans' hit and Gueffroy's error, and slammed over three more In the fourth on hits by H. Edwards, Leglen and Kendall, followed by the big blow of the eve ning, a triple by Pitcher Howell. An additional tally came in the fifth via another Pade-Barrick er ror and a hit by H. Edwards off Rae Yocom. The final and deciding score was put over In the seventh on a single off the bat of Evans, an er ror, and the mighty clutch hit, a single, by V. Edwards. Evans and H. Edwards secured a pair of hits apiece to pace the win ners at the bat. The Pade-Barricks' only substantial gesture was Sal feld's double. A second contest of the evening, originally scheduled between Waits and a Portland aggregation, failed to materialize because of the Port landers' failure to show up. Consequently Waits met a pick up team composed of local Softball stars. A big 12-run fourth inning spelled victory for the Meatmen, by a 18-4 score. Jimmy Nicholson showed how good hitting is done by walloping a homer, double and single in three official trips.

Current Win Streak Lifted To Six Games (By ths Associated Press) Baseball's biggest sensation right now is the St. Louis Browns and you know why. They have lust succeeded in cast Ing the already confused first di vision of the American league Into chaos. Eventually 1940 may be remem bered as the year the mighty New York Yankees folded up like a hinge, but the plight of the world champions and the jostling of their would-be successors is overshadow ed today by the achievements of the Brownies. Today the Browns are in fifth place just a game and a half be- hlng the Yanks. They got there yesterday by blasting the Boston Red Sox in both ends of a double- header 2-1 and 11-4 to run their current winning streak to six games. It is notable that the Browns now have won 27 games and lost 30 while last year they didn't get their 37th victory until August 4 by wnich time they had lost 68. They were irresistable as they went about the business of bump ing Boston out of the league lead for the first time since May 5. In the first game dour John Nlggellng held the Sox sluggers to five hi Us and Harland Cllft came along with a home run in the ninth Inning to decide the game. In the second game the Browns collected four home runs, the most Important being John Berardino' with two on. Given the opening the Cleveland Indians rode right into the league lead. Bob Feller pitched one of his best ball games for his 10th victory. He gave the Washington Senators only four hits, struck out 11 and walked but one In winning 12-1. Scatter Gun Men Practice Following their warm up rounds yesterday afternoon, some 200 scat ter gun artists got down to the serious business this afternoon of bringing down portions of the more than $5000 posted by the Salem Trapshooters club, sponsors of the annual state shoot. Close to 160 shooters limbered up their guns yes terday with R. W. Nusom, Port land, high In the 16-yard 100 tar get event with 98. Ted Renfrew of Armstead, Mont., and J. Crone of Turlock, Cal., tied for second with 87. In Class B, A. R. Perrett, Port land, took nigh honors with 97. M. Hull, North Bend, George Jantzer, Trail and M. D. Stemler, Portland, each broke 86 to tie for second. George Feller of Aurora, with t 94, placed first in Class C competition. In the 23 yard, SO target event, D. C. Fish, Portland, was high with 49. W. D. Carter, Slem, E. J. Mor rison of Monlda, Mont., and Charles Martin of Klamath Falls, tied for second with 46. Mrs. Clara Ray, Coqullle, broke 94 out of 100 to take Class D hon ors. E. O. Morrison was second with 90. Fred Mauser of Gearhart, break ing 48 out of 60, placed high in the doubles. Second place went to Joe cotanc with 45. Bowman Absolved Bean Ball Plot New York, June 31 (IP) Ford Frlck, president of the National league, today absolved Pitcher Bob Bowman of any blame in connec tion with the "beanlng" of Joe Med wick, Brooklyn Dodger outfielder, Tuesday. Medwick was discharged from the hospital last night, apparently well on his way toward recovery from concussion of the brain, suffered when he was hit In the head by one of Bowman's fast balls In a game between the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. Frlck said his investigation reveal ed no evidence of intent to injure Medwick on the part of the young Cardinal pitcher and that charges against Bowman therefore were dismissed The Brooklyn club, through Presi dent Larry MacPhall, had charged formally that Bowman "deliberate ly and with premeditation" beaned Medwick. Another investigation, begun by William O'Dwyer, district attorney of Kings county, was closed yester day when O'Dwyer said he could find no evidence of Intent on Bowman's part. Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor The softballers are making a bet ter financial showing. The receipts, following the opening night, drop ped like a depth bomb. But they have rebounded and the prospects are for a fairly normal season. The management lost a couple of bucks on the second night of play and then cleared 65 cents on the next. Since then the gate has been as cending and a $35 night, about the average last year, was reported earlier this week. Expenses for a night's operations with local teams engaged, are around $20. It would be pretty hard to trim that unless volunteer help was secured, which , is scarcely probable. Biddy Bishop, Salem Senator business manager, has arranged a game with the Eugene Athletics for the night of July 22 on the Eugene diamond. It should be a fairly lucra tive venture in view of the fact that the Solons carry two former Eugene performers Bud Brewer and Bobby Baer. The latter is one of Coach Howard Hobson's Oregon prospecte.. Speaking of Brewer, did you ever hear of a more lucky moundsman? Not that Bud hasn't ability. He has been fortunate on a t number of occasions In being yank ed from the firing line at the right time and having his relief go ahead and keep the Senators out of trouble. When a fellow can dish up 18 hits, resulting in 11 runs and still be credited with winning the ball game, he really has something. We suggest they change his nickname from "Cocky" to "Lucky." Two hours and 50 minutes of baseball (if you can term it that) Is too much. We hope wa never are compelled to sit through such a bombardment as the Capilanos and Senators unlimbered at Vancouver Wed nesday night. We are still hope ful for a pitchers' battle with the boys leaving the diamond after a brisk hour and a half and a 1 to 0 score. Off hand we can't recall a couple of chuckers In the W-I circuit capable of turn ing the trick. This Is particularly the case with every squad car rying a wrecking crew . . . Spo kane has decided to complett the deal for A. Murray O'Flynn, the hurler who handcuffed the Senators for five frames then busted his suspenders. Even if Carl Mays, one time baseball great, didn't develop a sin gle Class B performer, he would still be doing a good Job. Any one who has taken time to sit in on one of his "skull sessions" will beck up that statement. For it's not all diamond play at Mays' boseDaii school operated at Waters park. Of course Carl wants to develop talent for he loves the national game. But he takes time out eacn day to impress upon the Doys tna value of good citizenship, respect for other's rights and property. In fact it a program could be worked out where a "Carl Mays" would be available for each community of ths country, we would have no fear of fifth column' 'operations. Drop out and get a line on what's going out at the South 25th street park some afternoon. Whether Oscar Vitt Is tem peramentally fit to manage ft ball club will undoubtedly be de termined by the Cleveland In dian management. However, re ports from the players Indicate his actions cannot be expected to get the most out of his men. Members of the Indians' club are quoted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as charging Vitt with saying during a game with the Red Sox when Bob Feller was being hit hard: "Look at him! He's supposed to be my ace! I'm supposed to win a pen nant with that kind of pitching." Feller was reported to have hearc the comment as he stood on the pitching mound. Other accusations of the players and published by ths Plain Dealer, accuser Vitt of: be ing a "wild man" on the bench and communicating his Jitters to his men; that he persists in comparing the Indians unfavorably with minor league teams he has managed; that the club has lost dignity and pride through his antics and that Vitt has become a laughing stock among other players. Alaskan Soldier Home Falrvlew Matt Parvln, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Parvln, who has completed his five year enlistment in the air service, stationed in the i Arctic circle, has arrived home. He undecided but contemplates re- enlistment at Fairbanks, Alaska, within two weeks. He was home once In the five years and that was a little over one year ago. Yippee! Centennial Specials Yippee!
