Skits and Scratches IJt Fred ZUamermu Capital Journal Spuria Editor Indicating that professional football is in earnest about its plans to provide the northwest with this type of gridiron en tertainment this fall, the initial press release of the Seattle Bombers has come to hand. Bob Harvison (whose name is probably .more often' misspell ed than otherwise) holds down the publicity directorship for the Bombers, who open the sea son against the Portland. Rock ets on Multnomah field Sept ember 3. During the home and home series, Seattle will play 12 games, closing against Oak land in the bay area, Novem ber 26. The American league, to which the Bombers are attach ed, will not be an exclusively SMiday affair, since a number of games will be played week day nights. The Bombers will be based at the Rainier baseball park with the gridiron extend ing parallel with the third base' line. Additional grandstands are planned along a line cor responding to the baseline be tween first and second bases, with additional stands in cen ter field, giving the Bombers a "bowl" gridiron. Seating capacity will be a bit more than 12,000. ' '- The Bombers have a fairly impressive lineup of , former grid greats, but they will be in the same fix the other clubs are expected to find themselves short of wind and long on. sur plus ' weight!. Coach. Dutch Clark expects to build a decep-tiveyT-formation attack around Den McAdams, ex-Brooklyn Dodger star of the National pro loop whose transfer to the American circuit caused a bit of controversy recently.

Boe of Milwaukie high, who later, played with the Univer sity of Oregon: LaVern Bell, University of Idaho, and Del Wisner, another WSC ball car rier. Big Johnny Tsoutsouvas of Oregon State fame, is ex pected to throw his 240 pounds around the center of the line in most of the contests, ' The Seattle lineup, on paper, rates considerably better than that of the Portland Rockets, who have been working out undftr Coach Bob Mathews. The lauAr strengthened the situa tion considerably when he in ducted Fritz Kramer to take over the direction of the line. Kramer, despite a lot of poor health, had excellent seasons with the Eugene high Axemen. Stomach ulcers finally got him down and he had to quit In or der to get away from the strain of the game. However, with the bulk of the responsibility being shouldered by the head coach, Fritz' tummy should be have In professional baseball, The "Angel," whose claim to being the homeliest wrestler in professional circles cannot be successfully denied, returns to the Salem armory Friday night. The "Angel" has unusual strength and knows how' to -handle It, although he can be expected to drop a fall to his opponent for that's the way professional grappling operates. Bu, we venture the opinion that the big Frenchmen could take on a couple of ordinary grapplcrs at the same time and still be looking for more bones to break if he decided to op erate on a dead 'earnest basis.
