Salem's new Softball setup has
given fans some unusually good ball
thus far this season, what with
pitching that has produced 13 shut
out games and no less than 40 times
has seen teams garner less than five
hits for a game; but last night's
four-ply program was the most un
usual of the year. First, because It
produced the initial no-hit, no-run
game of the year, and second be
cause included was one of the wild,
knock-down, drag-'em-out battles
that have been missing from the
park for so long.
Alice Qoffrler, who collected a
one hit game her last time out
beat the boys to the coveted hall of
fame with her perfect pitching per
formance. She set down 13 Leslie
girls on strikes, walked 3, and al
lowed one to get on base via a wild
throw. In achieving her dream
game. With Ooffrler's pitching as
an Inspiration the Shamrocks bat
ted home 7 runs, for a 7 to 0 vic
tory to remain unbeaten In the gals'
loop.

In an uproar throughout, had them
still talking today, and which really

who won even yet. According to
the scoreboard when the teams left
the field, after two extra innings
of play and after Manager Lou
Singer, of the Dealers, had protest
ed the tilt no less than three times,
the Papermakers won i to 4. But
according to Singer the final score
was 3 to 3 In favor of the Dealers
and the game ended In the last half
of the seventh when the peppery
little manager personally hit a, two
base hit and came on home with
what was the potential winning run
on Johnny Koffert's wild throw
from the outfield. Singer, however,
was sent back to third by the um

Ruth and Cobb Select
Donovan as Referee
By Harry Ferguson
New York, June 21 (U.R) Just in case they drop their golf
clubs and start swinging, a fight referee has been appointed
to walk with Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth when they play their
long - waited match next week,
Arthur Donovan, who has
worked in most of Joe Louis'
fights, will be the third man on
the tee at Fresh Meadow Coun
try club next Friday when Cobb
and Ruth go the 18 holes of
their contest. The proceeds of
the New York match will be
turned over to the National
U-S-0 campaign.
Robert E. Strewbrldge, Jr., chair
man of the U-S-O national sports
committee, announced today that
Cobb would arrive in New York
Monday, Ruth and Cobb will go to
Boston to play 18 holes Wednesday
and then return to New York for
another 18 holes Friday.
The brand of golf may not be
what you would see at the National
open or the PGA, but the sight of
these two old campaigners battling
each other again should be well
worth the $1 admission.
Both of them play left-handed.
Cobb ordinarily shoots in the low
80's although he can get into the
70-s occasionally. Ruth has broken
80 frequently and could shoot right
along with the professionals if he
could get his short game to match
the booming drives off the tee.
The best show at Fresh Mea
dows should be the gallery.
There will be lots of persons
there who don't know the differ
ence between a No. 2 iron and a
stymie, but who will be out to
watch two of the most famous
names in sports tangling again.
Most of them will be baseball
fans who doubtless will come
through at the appropriate mo
ment by advising Ruth to hit
one - over the fence or telling
Cobb to bunt.
It will be much the same type
of gallery that watched Ruth and
John Montague, the one-time mys
tery man, play a match here sev
eral years ago. On that historic oc
casion several of the spectators
thought the idea was to station
themselves about 220 yards down the
fairway and seize the golf balls as
fast as they came off the tees. The
fights that developed over the golf
balls were more Interesting than
the match, and the players finally
called the whole thing off before
finishing 18 holes.
protests will be allowed and wheth
er the Dealers won 3 to 3 or the
Makers won 6 to 4 had not been
decided by officials late todav. Un
til the verdict is reached the game
will not be Included In the league
standings, what ever the final
outcome the game was one of the
liveliest in a number of seasons.

Foul Balls Aid
In Attendance
Dallas, Tex., June 11 JP
Foul balls don't count on the
score sheet, but as attendance
bait oh man.
George Schepps, president
of the Dallas Texas league
club, found out there was no
use trying to retrieve balls
knocked Into the grandstand
by handing out passes, so he
decided to be practical. '
So now It's finders keepers,
and any finder presenting a
ball after the game may have
It autographed by the team.
The outlay Is about a dozen
balls a game and attendance
has Increased appreciably.
The Capital Journal, Salem,
Skits and
Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal 6 ports Editor
Tills correspondent may be a bit
Sellable, (.we have been so accused),
but the suggestion that Powder
Proctor and Leo Turner put on a
"training camp performance" at the
armory Thursday night for the ben
efit of the cash customers doesn't
Jibe with our reactions.
Certainly If the boys had
agreed to carry each other the
entire 10 rounds, Turner would
not have kept pecking; away at
1 cut he opened over Proctor's
right eye in the second. Nor
would Leo have cut loose with
such head rocking blows as he
unleashed In the fourth and
seventh sessions. The manner
in which Powder dug Into Leo
In the ninth could scarcely bo
characterized as a friendly act.
Whatever the set-up, If there was
one, Turner and Proctor were In the
best possible condition. In no other
way could they have gone the entire
10 rounds at such a furious pace.
They put on a fine scrap and the
only regret Is that the armory was
not filled to capacity.
Probably Tiger Jack Pox Is too
good a fighting machine to place
In front of Keller Wagner, but find
ing opponents for the local slugger
is getting to be a difficult task. Dal
las Bennett, who was a spectator
Thursday night Instead of a con
tender, because of an Injured hand,
appeared to have put on consider
able weight. When he is In condi
tion, Tex Salkeld should make a
second effort to match him with
Wagner who has been winning reg
ularly with a single punch.
Tiger Jack was In the armory
Thursday night complaining
that he was unable to find any
thing to do In the fistic line in
the northwest. Be plans to re
turn to San Diego where he has
had better success along this
line.
Pitching to batters who hit at
anything that comes closer than a
country mile to the plate is a tough
assignment says Ray Elliott, ex-Sa-lem
Senator chuckcr. Elliott, a
home town kid, has been doing well
with the Valsetz ball club, but he
finds that unorthodox club swing
ing; Is a bit bothersome to say the
least. He remembers a game early
In the season when a batter picked
on a low Inside pitch and knocked
the ball out of the lot. "Experienced
batters wouldn't have given the
pitch a second glance, but this fellow
picked it off the ground, so to speak,
and gave It a ride," complained El
liott. Helser Holds
Top Position
When Western International
league records were compiled fol
lowing last Monday's game, Roy
Helser, Salem southpaw, and Mar
lowe of Tacoma, were the only un
beaten pitchers In the loop. Helser
had won eight while Marlowe was
credited with three.

Slugging Show
New York, June 31 m Ted Wil
liams of the Boston Red Sox and
Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers
still are the leading hitters in the
major leagues, but the best show Is
being put on by sluggers among the
St. Louis Cardinals.
No less than six of the Redblrds,
leaders of the National league, have
elbowed their way up among the
top 10 hitters of the senior circuit.
Reiser's 566 at the front of the
batting parade was Just 14 points
ahead of Enos Slaughter. Johnny
Mlze, an additional 10 points be
hind, was ready to start gunning
after being out a couple of weeks
with a broken finger.
Williams remained beyond com
parison with an average of .420 at
the top of the American league. His
closest pursuers were Jeff Heath of
the Cleveland Indians at .373 and
Pat Mullen of Detroit with J66. j

nowhere near as powerful as the
present Yankees, who are handl'
capped In gaining recognition be
cause the memory of exploits of
their marvelous predecessors ling
ers. Yet the way the bombers are
blasting In the American league
right now, there is a possibility
they will become another scourge.
The Yankees are In second place,
to be sure, but they have beaten the
pace-setting Cleveland Indians sev
en times In 10 games and didn't
really get rolling until recently.
They have won 10 of their past 12
games and looked Impressive In do
ing It. In 16 consecutive games they
have walloped 27 home runs. Joe
DIMagglo has hit safely In 33
straight contests, matching the great
streak of Rogers Hornsby in 1922
in the National league, Charley
(King Kong) Keller has hit a home
run In cell of the past four games.
This was the sort of slugging the
Yankees threw at the Detroit Tigers
yesterday for a 14-4 victory. DIMag
glo collected four hits.

Lou Nova will get the next shot
at Joe Louis. Promoter Mike
Jacobs plans to hold the light in
September.
Nova Signed
For Meeting
With Louis
New York, June 21 () Lou Nova,
California collegian, today was sign
ed by Promoter Mike Jacobs to meet
Champion Joe Louis for the heavy-
we'ght boxing title in September.
The site and date will be announc
ed later. Jacobs, in selecting Nova
from a long list of challengers, m-
eluding Billy Conn, pointed out that
Lou was the only one of the group
that had not had a shot at the title.
Nova staged a great comeback to
qualify for the title shot after a year
away from the ring because of Ill
ness following his defeat by Tony
Galento in September, 1939. The
Callfornian returned to competi
tion last fall and after a warm-up
bout or so, punched Pat Comlsky
all over the ring to win a ten-round
decision in Madison Square Garden
last January and then knocked out
Max Baer for the second time In
the eighth round of their April en
gagement In the Garden.
Ray Carlen, Nova's manager, said
Lou would leave soon for the Maine
woods, where he will spend several
weeks in preliminary training. Louis,
showing signs of staleness In knock
ing out Conn in the 13th round last
Wednesday, will take things easy
for the next two months. Original
ly, Jacobs planned to throw Abe
Simon against the champion next
month.
