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

Clark expects to build a decep-tiveyT-formation

tion considerably when he in

over the direction of the line.
Kramer, despite a lot of poor
health, had excellent seasons

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

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.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox
knocked two full games off St.
Louis' lead by winning a pair
from the Clevland Indians, 8-6
and 11-4. Red Barrett, who re
lieved starter xann lorry, was
credited with the victory. Young
Rex Cecil, recently acquired
from the San Diego club of the
Pacific Coast league, had an easy
lime gaining his second major
league victory. Al Smith and
Ted Klieman were the losers.
The Detroit Tigers took ad
vantage of the St. Louis slump
to move to within five games of
the leaders by beating the New
York Yankees twice in the
champions' stadium. Dizzy Trout
joined teammate Hal Newhouser
as the majors only 2(i game
