Newspaper Page TextWednesday, August 21, Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Spurts Wrltei Probably a vast majority of the faithful who saw the Senators per form against the Spokane Indians won't admit it, but the home town club still has a chance to finish near the top. It will take better baseball than they have displayed recently, but they did it early in the season and there is no reason they can't do it again. For one thing the Solons have a break in the remaining schedule. Out of 32 games remaining to be played, 14 of them will be staged at George E. Waters park. Five of them are against the Wenatchee Chiefs who have been consistent in their determination to remain In the cellar. Cooperation all the way aown tne line win oe neeueu tu , boost Bunny Griffiths' boys up the ladder players must eliminate their petty grievances while attendance of the fans must be increased. Tacoma has taken second place away from Salem In the matter of league attendance. Spokane Is out in front and will remain there. A couple of big games turned the trick for Tacoma. They staged a "Caval cade of Baseball" one night and gave away a trip to the San Francisco fair another. Salem Is close up on Tacoma and can easily regain second position. There will be plenty of baseball starting next Friday night, which will be "ladies" night with Tacoma as the guest club. Saturday evening the Tigers and Senators will engage in a doublehcader to take care of a game rained out earlier in the sea son. A double bill Is slated for Sun day. And then on Monday comes the big game against the Portland Beavers. The Beavers may have grown used to being the doormat for the oth er Pacific coast league clubs, but they don't relish a trimming from a class B aggregation. So when they come up here next Monday night it will be for blood. The Portland management wanted Bid- dy Bishop to charge Coast league prices for the contest, but the So lon business manager wouldn't stand for it. Biddy did agree to eliminate all WI league passes and make a flat 60 cent charge for every seat In the park exclusive of the boxes. There will be no reser vations and the ticket sale will be on the "first come, first served" plan. The WI schedule called for the appearance of Wenatchee here next Monday nlg-ht but under a mutual agree ment this contest will be doub led up with the one set for Wed nesday. The Wednesday double bill will be the setting for the George E. Waters appreciation night. Biddy Is still optimistic about the club finishing the season In the first division. "All clubs have their little crack-ups and we've had ours. There's still time to get back near the top." Many fans profess a dislike for tactics such as the Spokane club employ on the diamond, but we honestly believe a little more fire and fight on the part of the Sena tors would cause considerable hap piness in the business office de partment of the organization. The appearance of the Spokane Indians Is the signal for mass heckling from the bleachers. They will turn out to see a ball club which stirs up a rumpus over close decisions. They may boo and hiss but they like the atmosphere of a scrap and they'll keep coming back for more. A hearty dislike for an opposing ball club is almost al ways the forerunner of good gate receipts. A few more bean ball pitches such as Bud Brewer chucked against Falconl would heighten in terest aU around. We don't exactly preach vio lence. We have too much regard for our own facial features. But a few more caucuses around the home plate wouldn't do any harm. Young Corbett Takes Decision Fresno, Cal., Aug. 21 (U.fi) There's life in the old boy yet, even if Young Corbett, III, former world welter' weight champion, is approaching the age of 36 when he will auto matically be barred from caiiior nia's rings. "Young" Corbett mauled She Rancek, a 21-year old middleweight, for 10 rounds to win a decision from Referee Fred Bottaro before 7500 fans in an outdoor fight here last night. Y. T. Lam, N. D. O.

Julia Lee Wright, the Portland outfit which beat Bend, will take on the hustling Corvallls club. The champion kil' lers Portland Firemen have t date with Medford, southern Ore gon pennant winners at 9:15. Both games will be nine inning aiiairs. A couple of superlative mound performances and some good lusty hitting provided the highlights as the first round of state Softball tournament play wac completed last night before a crowd approxl mating 1200. As smooth a pitching edition as ever slung a ball across the plat ter .. . Pendleton's Hervey am- fin, proved the big noise of the tourney thus far as he greeted the No. 2 Kennedy Kids wun a no-hit pitching performance ... a perfect game I The score was 2-0. Only 21 Kids faced the Bucka- roo hurler in the seven Innings. The lone Kennedy batter to get on the bass. Shortstop Lacey, via er ror, was promptly erased the dou- Die piay way. To build higher the quality of his achievement, Griffin struck out 14 hitters to approach his 1939 tournament pace when he whiffed 26 men in 16 Innings. The Pendleton offensive was built around the big bat of First Base man Godwin. The two round-up per tallies romped over in the sec ond as Godwin uncorked a home run to far left field with a mate aboard. The Kennedys played excellent ball, went down gallantly, with Pitchers Jake Bulkloy and Knight twirling most creditably. It was plainly too much Mr, Griffin, The Square Dealers remained to carry the laurels for the Cherry City. With Henry singer tossing up four-hit ball, the Dealers trounc ed Woodburn, 8-1. Badioster war clubs cannonaded heavily In the Initial two Innings to pile up five runs. From there on it was merely a downhill road to triumph, with one more In the fourth and two In the sixth. Leading the local barrage were Second Baseman D'Autremont with a triple and single, Lou Singer with a double and single, ana Kiddy Gentzkow with a brace of one basers. Woodburn got its lone marker in the fourth on hits by Moe and Tichnor. To old Biff Georgeson goes the heartbreak of the evening. George- i. veteran of many a tourney battle, had a no-hitter In his grasp, Ditching for the Bonneville En gineers, when, with two out In the final frame, the seventh, Eugene Centerflelder Phillips got a scratchy infield blngle to ruin It all. Ironi cally, Phillips had whiffed his two initial trips. The Engineers emerged easy win ners, 7-0. Georgeson fanned eight, A nine-hit attack, featuring a three-run second Inning, put the dam builders over In the offen sive department. The Oregon City Elks walked over the McMlnnvllIe Firemen In the evening's first tilt, 9-5. A 13-hit barrage off the delivery of Bill Jones placed the Elks in victory row.

The scratcher, tender in years but strong at the finish wire, was 18 year old Jockey Earl John Dew. A 65-race winner at Thistle Down, he was credited by track officials today with shattering all records for a single summer race meeting. Dew leathered home two winners yesterday, Thistle Down's next to last day, bringing to 148 his season's total. Racing records placed him se cond for the year, being led only by W.

Adding in bonuses and his share of stake winnings, compensation for 44 days at Thistle Down, came to about $6000. Then he figured in Santa Anita and one or two other tracks and decided "it'll be about $20,000. Not bad for a guy my age and size." His employer, Californlan Earl Beezley, agreed.

Handicap Fails Bother Texan Vandalia, Ohio, Aug. 21 (; Sportsdom will travel a long way before it finds another champion with the background, color and "heart" boasted by trapshooting's new North American clay target king 65-year old Forest McNelr o' Houston, Texas. Lela Hall, the charming housewife from Strasburg, Mo., won her fifth North American feminine crown yesterday at the 41st Grand Amer ican, and Fred Tomlln of Glassboro, N. J., grabbed his fifth professional title, but all the talk today around the big cartridge carnival was about McNelr. . The Texan, wearing a high, stiff ly-starched collar, paid no atten tion to the high wind as he cracked 200 straight to beat the best In the land for trapdom's toughest title. It was the only perfect count of the day. And It gave McNelr a cham pionship he had tied for in 1920 and 1935, only to lose in shoot-offs. But today he wore the royal robes and the trapshooting world will tell you he won 'em the hard way. Four years ago he fell from a building in Houston, suffering a broken back and a crushed left arm. His left hand was amputated at the wrist, but when McNelr regained consciousness he had the hand sew ed back on. The fingers failed to function, and two Inches of flesh and bone are missing from the arm. but he asks no odds of anyone. Surgeons told him he probably would never shoot again, but two years after his accident he was back at the "roaring grand" with a caddy to carry and load his gun. He fired the entire program.
