Solon's Gunnarson Bumped Off Streak 'By the Associate Press) After going nine straight games without a single setback, Carl Gunnarson, Salem's No. 1 chuckcr, met his master last night in Spokane In the person of Milt Cadinha. As a result of this third game of the current series between the Indians and the Senators, the latter came out second best, 6 to 2, to give Spokane a 2 to 17 lead. It was Cadinha's eighth win against two losses, But two of the six runs scored were earned and a series of in field errors played a prominent part in the final outcome. Bright spots in the contest in sofar as the visting Solons were concerned, included Dick Wen ner's 10th homer of the season in the sixth, and Manager Tedd Gullic's three for four perform ance. Cellar Dwellers Scrap Upset in the basement de partment of the Western Inter national league is the highlight of the current week's series and last night the lowly Victoria Athletics, by marking their third straight win over the next-to-last Vancouver Capinlanos, 10-7, kept things cooking. The teams moved from Vic toria to Vancouver in mid-series and finish out the week on the mainland park. Last night Vancouver's Manager Sylvester Johnson telegraphed from Portland, 1 Oregon, his resignation as manager of the term. He Is reported to have given the sickness of his wife there as the reason for the move. The league leading Wenat chee Chiefs lost out to Tacoma, at Tacoma, 7-6. setting their series at 2 games to 1 for the Chiefs. Bremerton took an easy 13-6 win from Yakima at the inland city, giving the Bluejackets a 2 to 1 edge in the week's play. Salrm t!

Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Johnny Come Latelys are springing up like mushrooms under the influence of a warm sun following a shower as they chorus "I told you so" in con nection with Joe Louis' reten tion of the world's heavyweight fight throne. With the exception of those who pungled up cold cash to back their opinions con cerning the ability of Billy Conn to outscore the champion, vir tually every man on the street chirps up with "I knew that was the way it would end." We hold no brief for tight fisted Mike Jacobs, but we have a hunch he told the truth when, in reply to Representative O'Toole's cry of "stinkeroo," he shot back "Before the fight, O'Toole's of fice called me up and demand ed complimentary tickets to see it. I turned them down. So now he's hollering." But Jess Willard is one or the former champs who had the temerity to speak out before the clash and make a prediction that "neither Joe Louis nor Billy Conn will go into their June 19 championship fight with the stamina either had the last time lie fought." He didn't hazard a guess as to who would win be cause "I haven't seen the boys, but you just can't stop fighting three or four years, as Louis and Conn did, and get back into top shape again." And that may be the answer to the mis crablc showing the sports writ crs claim for the Yankee Stad ium production. Old age (inso far as athletics are concerned) rather than any deliberate at tempt to filmflam the public, is probably the answer to the drab performance. As for those thousands who bought the $100 "ringside" scats, they should have recalled the phrase "cave at emptor," (let the buyer be ware). But then, perhaps they got their money's worth out of the stage setting, for an asscm blagc of that sort has color not found elsewhere. During one of Salem high's baseball games this spring, Ross Coleman, familiarly known as Ihe "father of junior baseball" in this community, was an in terestcd spectator. He was par ticularly observant of Dick Al lison, No. 1 Viking receiver, And we got the answer this week when it leaked out that Dick is first string catcher for the St. Paul Townies. "Dick has more fire than any other mem ber of the club " 'commented Ross as he praised the young' ster for his work behind the plate. And, incidentally Dick is one of four Allison boys whom, we hope, will secure their edu cation in the Salem public schools, A number of years ago we had the Kelley boys in school. And they added greatly to the athletic prowess of the vikings squads. A repetition from the Allison family wouldn t be hard to take. Johnson Resigns Capilano Position Vancouver, B.

Seattle, June 21 VP) The mighty Wisconsin Badgers, seeking their first national championship in 65 years of rowing, startled a reception committee at the airport at 7:50 p.m (PST) last night by clam oring for an immediate workout on Lake Washington to make up for lost time in arriving here nearly a day late. "Where's the shellhouse?" asked Alan Walz, coach of the Badgers, when he and his crew men rteplancd. The surprised reception committee i m m e d i a tely bundled the Badgers into automobiles and took them into the water just as the University of British Col umbia, next to the last crew to arrive, was pulling their's out. This meant that all eight of the crews entered in tomorrow's big international collegiate re gatta tested the fickle waters of scenic Lake Washington yes terday The race Saturday is sched uled to start at 5 p.m. (PST).

Ice cube cool Jim Moore was n't disturbed by either a circus barker chatting away over a loudspeaker or the opposing baseball team on Leslie field last night as he pitched his Eagles lodge junior "A" teammates to a one-hit, 15-strikeout, 4-0 vic tory over the boys sponsored by the Salem Police. Young Moore broke a personal record in the strikeout field. He bettered a feat of striking out 13 opposing batters in the last game he pitched in the Salem Junior "A" league, for a 2-hit shutout. All the games are seven inning affairs. Other Hurler Paces Eldon Caley, opposing hurler for the Salem Police, was the fellow who broke Moore's hopes for a no-run-no-hit perfect game. Caley lined out a single to center field in the third inning, one of three men to reach first base on the, offerings of Moore. Caley fanned eight. The Eagles scored all their runs in the first inning after two were out. They tapped the pitching keg of Caley for three hits and combined with a gift of three walks to score four runs, then marked an end to the scoring in the ball game. Jim Williams and Bruce Boatman were heavy hitters for the Eag les, collecting two bingles for three times at the plate.

Since Feller set them back on their heels June 12 the Bostonians have dropped seven of their last eight games including last night's 2-0 setback at the hands of the St. Louis Browns. Zoldak Blanks Sox Sammy Zoldak, a stringy so phomore southpaw, applied the whitewash brush to the ragged Red Sox last night, duplicating the feat of teammate Bob Mon crief the other night. Joe Dob son, Zoldak's mound opponent, put up stiff opposition, but a first inning lapse, when the Browns tallied all their runs, overshadowed his nine strikeout total. Boston lost only a half game of its lead as the runncr-up New York Yankees were held to a split in their doubleheadcr by the Chicago White Sox. A neat 8-hitter by bespectacled Bill Die trich halted the Yankees 3-1 in the opener as Yankee pitching ace Spud Chandler, gunning for his 11th victory, was forced to accept his third defeat. Floyd Sevens gained the split for the Yankees by besting Lefty Ed Smith 6-1 in the nightcap. Brooklyn's pace-sctthig Dodg ers and the challenging St. Louis Cardinals readied themselves for their "crucial" three game series for the National league lead which starts tonight by knocking over the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Braves, respectively, in easy fashion. Brooklyn won 7-3 while the Cards triumphed 9-1. Rest of League Hopping The third place Detroit Tigers advanced to within nine and a half games off the American pace by routing the Philadelphia Athletics 9-2 under a barrage of home runs by Hank Greenberg, Eddie Lake, Bob Swift and pit cher Dizzy Trout, who gathered in his seventh triumph. Hank Edwards' ninth inning single drove in George Case with the run that gave the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 victory over the Washington Senators.

Poor Prospects Week-end Angling Portland, June 21 (Pi Oregon anglers face generally poor pros pects this week-end, although Clatsop county and spots in Jackscn and Malheur counties may be exceptions, the state game commission said today. Conditions were reported good in Clatsop county, and trout were being caught in the Rogue river on spinners and flics. The outlook, by sections: Portland area Streams low, angling fair.

Washington will furnish the shells from the col lection in the Husky shellhouse where George Pocock, master shellbuilder, turns out the cedar stogies. There will be a draw for shells, so Washington will not necessarily be racing in a familiar craft. Normally Washington would be a favorite in any crew race entered by the school which is the cradle of the modern Hiram Conibear style of rowing. But this year Wisconsin is the favor ite, ard Ulbrickson was caught unprepared. His crewmen didn't hold their first turnouts until March, and of those reporting, only one had previous experience in a shell.
