For 12 innings Hie struggle was a scoreless standoff between those master hur" :rs, Whit Wy att of the Dodgers and Mort Cooper of the Cards. Then things started happening fast.

I Hungary. ; The Capital Journal. Salem. Tigers Score Seven Runs in Second to Win The Salem Senators, short handed as they arc, get along fairly well when permitted to play their accustomed positions. But shake them around a Bit ana the result is not entirely satis factory. Tuesday evening with Curly Robbe forced out of his shortstop berth because of an in fected knee and Al Cailteaux on the sidelines due to illness, the Soions faced the Tacoma Tigers with three pitchers in the lineup and with Charley Petersen play ing short, Ken Clow in center field and Art Leininged at sec ond. The 9 to 4 defeat suffered by the Senators was charged to a seedtid inning seven run splurge which had its inception when Robbe couldn't hobble over to second to perform his part in a double play operation However, George Babich, left handed pitcher, had to share in the responsibility since he walk ed three men in the inning, forc ing across a run and then with the bases full, served a home run pitch to Joe Brovia who promptly hoisted it over the right field wall. After that Ba bich and his cohorts played ac ceptable ball, but since they couldn't do too much with Chet Johnson, it didn't take a crystal gazer to determine the outcome. The Soions scored singly in the first, second, third and ninth. Lciningcr's double shoved Rich ards across the plate in the first frame after the latter had reach ed second on Brovia's misplay of his fly to deep right. Then in the second Petersen and Sal strom walked to start the inning while Petersen scored on an er ror by Kochler at short. Rich ards opened the third with a double into right, went to third on an infield out and scored when Clow singled. Running a race against sun set, the Soions tallied in the ninth when Babich and Moore singled successively while the former eventually got home on a wild pilch and an infield out. The two clubs will wind up the home season Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. Each contest starts at 6:15.

Fred Zimmerman, Little Brown Bomber Gets Important Test By Jack Cuddy fUniled Pres. 8ttff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 26 (U.rs Jimmy Edgar of Detroit, the "Little Brown Bomber," gets his all-important test at Madison Square Garden Friday night when he proves to the boxing world that He is either (1) .a second edl- tion of Joe Louis, or . (2) just another ham-and-egger. Edgar is compared with hea vyweight champion Joe Louis in his every move because he comes from Detroit, the champion's home town, because he is man aged by John Roxborough one of Louis' co-managers because Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Spurts Editor Some folk might believe that the Salem Senators are employ ing .mirrors or that a magician is on the payroll, but as a mat ter of fact, the boys are playing a hustling brand of baseball out at Geo. E. Waters park. Noth ing else would nave kept them out of the cellar in view of the inroads made into the organiza tion by the armed forces. No team can lose such men as Jack Warren, Eddie Adams, Bill Johnson and Francis Dierickx without suffering a jolt unless those who remain take up a part of the slack. For one thing the hitting of Sam Taormina, Jack Richards and Art Leininger during recent games has been something to tie to. During the last three games with Spokane and the first one against Tacoma, Taor mina piled up an average of .462 while Leininger was a. fairly close second with .400, Richards turned in a series of base blows which figures out .357. Some fans, after watching Taormina perform with the Senators shortly after his trans fer hero from the California State league, expressed the opin ion that the big outfielder was out of his natural habitat in class B baseball. There is no such feeling now and most of his early critics have gone to the other extreme by staling that he is a sure shot for big time par ticipation. Leininger has improved re- markably as an outfielder, both offensively and defensively. He appeared none loo certain in covering right field a few weeks ago but his performance in pick ing Spurgeon's towering fly off the right field fence with one hand Monday night didn't look like the work of an amateur. On at least two occasions he has shown real power in his throw ing arm by getting a base run ner at third. Richards, who hai don an excellent job at covering first, will need lo combine lieadwnrk with hustle it he Is to progress In the great national pastime. No one could ask for greater mus cular energy than Jack lias shown, hut his thinking on a few occasions has not been along master-mind lines. So fnr as this writer has observed, however, Rich ards has not made the same mistake twice. General regulations covering sports angling in the lower Col umbia are set forth by the As toria Budget in a recent issue. For those local fishermen who plan to try their luck follow ing the close of-the commercial season, we reprint the rules: "Anglers may fish from pleasure crafts without coast guard identification cards, If master of the vessel has his card, has his boat duly licensed as a pleasure craft and vouches fnr his guests. Anglers may fish from commercial hoals, hut must have coast guard Identifi cation cards and must be duly entered as members of commercial craft's crew as shown on commercial pap ers. Private pleasure craft cannot he rented out and commercial boats cannot carry passengers for hire or upon any other basis than as crews.

Sparta Editor he apparently is one of the hard est hitting'welterweights ever to toss leather, and because he ad mittedly apes jolting Joe's shuf fling style. Edgar caused a mild quake in the boxing fraternity July 31, when he knocked out Vern Pat terson in the second round at the Garden, after exhibiting one of the grandest displays of straight punching New Yorkers have noted in a comparative no vice in years. Because of that kayo, 21-year old Edgar is being thrown into the ring Friday night with Jack La Motta, a tough middleweight who will outweight him by se ven or eight pounds. And La Motta is favored to win at 7-5 because La Motta is a rough, tough operator who never has been knocked out and who has lost only four decisions in two years. If the little brown bomber gets past La Motta in their 10 rounder Friday night he will be in position to demand a big- money shot with- any of the country's top-flight welters- such as Ray Robinson, Fritzie Zivic or even champion Red Cochran of the navy. City Title Series Even The chips will be down at 6:30 this evening when the Paper makers and the Office club from the same organization meet 'to decide which outfit will win the soflball championship of the city. The 'Makers, stung by their loss to the Office boys Monday evening, came back with a ven geance last night to blast the op position, 6 to 2. While Bob Knight pitched eight-hit ball his support was none too consistent and the five errors contributed by his mates were of material assistance in the Papermakers' win. Percy Crofoot held opposing batters lo six safe blows. The winners scored two runs in the second, three in the fourth and one in the fifth. The Office suad tallied single runs in the fourth and the fifth.

Wallace Wade's army all-stars is a toss-up, or would be but for a Texas boy in his backficld, a chap named Sammy Baugh. "Baugh is positively the great est who ever played." Marshall said in the course of his obser vations about the contest. "He might be the difference between victory and defeat. I think we are in for a really tough fight. Wade, although pleased with the physical condition of his men, was inclined to agree that Baugh would be hard to stop, "but for that matter they have a lot of fellows who are going to be hard to stop. They have the power and they have the pol ish." Football League Officials Meet Vancouver.
