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.

per, and Thomas scored. 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

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

87.
In Class B, A. R. Perrett, Port
land, took nigh honors with 97. M.
Hull, North Bend, George Jantzer,

each broke 86 to tie for second.
George Feller of Aurora, with t
94, placed first in Class C competition.

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.
