Newspaper Page TextRain Halts Solons Medford, April S W)--Open-inf (ante of the Salem Sena tors of the Western Interna tional league, scheduled against Oregon State college here last night, was postponed because of bad weather. Skits ' and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Unless he goes into an unex pected tailspin, Duane Crawford will not be returned to the Sa lem Senators this season. At any rate that was Bill Mulli gan's statement earlier in the week when he spoke briefly to members of the Salem Baseball Boosters club. Mulligan, an agreeable Irishman, who replac ed Bill Klepper as business manager for the Portland Beav ers, didn't pussyfoot around while discussing the Solons' out fielder and first baseman of last season. "It will be hard to get him off first base," Mulligan predicted and Crawford's hitting ., in the first three games of the season indicates the Portland head man knew whereof he was t-speaking. Furthermore he add f ed that "Crawford is definitely big league material." As for Dick Werner, former Salem outfielder, Mulligan said he was hitting the ball in "grand style" and while he has been playing regularly, it js probable he will become a permanent Beaver fixture. In announcing that the Sen ators will have the best "ball club that is practical," Mulligan didn't stick his neck out very far. That word "practical sums up the situation without need of further embellishment "Practical" from the standpoint of the parent organization. If the Beavers have tough sledding they will retain any player whom they believe will be of use to them. If we have success against PCL opposition then we may be sent considerable help. Well, that's what a "farm" is for and no one around these parts should be disillusioned. However, we believe the Port land management has a genuine Interest in the success of the Salem club and will do every thing consistent with their own position to help. Mulligan ad vised his Salem audience not to "sell the Portland club short." He was full of praise for Man ager Jim Turner's ability as a player handler and added that the "Kiverside camp was the best I have ever seen." The Beavers will be in good physical condition or they won't remain with the club, in Mulligan's opinion. Jack Snap, the likely looking middleweight from Klamath Falls, who was intro duced from the ring during the VFW card at the armory the other night, will probably be seen in action here on the next program. Matchmaker Tex Salkeld believes Snap is a com er as his record of 17 successive wins would well indicate. Four teen of his victories have come via the kayo route, indicating his blows carry plenty of auth ority. Salkeld indicated he may break out with a double main event, featuring Snap and Dick Abney against two suitable op ponents. In all probablity the winners would be matched for a later engagement. -- - Presence of Don Bower on the Oregon State college baseball , squad prevents Salem from be ing completely skunked in the matter of being represented on any of the Beaver athletic clubs. Bower is a candidate for an infield position. A perusal of the various team rosters fails to reveal a single Salem grad uate with the exception of Bow er who was a product of Par rish and later of senior high. Coach Ralph Coleman, given a good pitching staff, believes his Beaver baseballers should be right up their battling for the northern division diamond kuwd. Coley has a number of Feltermen around whom to build his first string aggrega tion. Lettermen infielders in addition to Don Bower include Harry Richards, Ray Oberst and Bob Churchill. Bud Fortier is listed as one of the promising new men. Fortier was voted the best performer in last year's state semi pro tournament. . WU Riddle- Who'll Assist Jerry Lillie? "There is no indication that we will be able to name dn as sistant to Coach Jerry Lillie in the near future," said G. Herbert Smith, president of Willamette university upon his return from California this week. He inter viewed one or two prospects dur ing his search for additions to the faculty, but said he was not ready to make recommendations to the board of trustees. Following a conference with President Smith, Coach Walter Erickson, who retires as a mem ber of the physical education staff at the end of the term, stated there would be no spring football practice because "we simply couldn't accomplish any thing" in the absence of Lillie. The latter will not be able to leave Honolulu until next Au gust. Erickson explained that the purpose of spring football is to acquaint the coaching staff with prospective material. Double Main Event Slated Herb Parks gets a long-awaited, full-fledged crack at the Grey Mask and Tony Ross goes up against Buck Weaver in Tuesday night's double main event grappling card at the Sa lem armory, announces Match maker Elton Owen. It was hop ed that a title match between George Dusette and Pacific Coast Junior Heavyweight Champion Bill Weidner would be scheduled for next Tuesday, but Dusette requested that the match be postponed one week in order that the challenger may drive to Los Angeles and fly his airplane up to the North west. Owen consented to move the title grappling bee back a week, and slated the double main event to occupy Tuesday's session. Weidner will nevertheless be seen in action here Tuesday, when he faces Benny Trudell, the whiskered lumberjack, in a non-title preliminary pairing. Governor Gets Weed' Bill A campaign to clear lakes and streams of weeds which are de stroying their value to tourists and sportsmen will be carried out by the state game commis sion as the result of a bill passed by the senate 27 to 1 Friday and sent to the governor. The bill appropriates $25 000, but additional funds from private sources are expected The measure was designed to help remove weeds from Tah- kenitch and Siltcoos lakes on the Oregon coast, where the weeds are destroying fish life, harming the logging industry, and making boating impossible, PASS THE LINAMENT, DOC 1 ! . .

Mooty Chucks Bevos To First PCL Victory (By the Associated Press) San Diego's Padres were right on top in the Pacific Coast league standing today, the only unbeaten outfit after four straight vic tories over Casey Stengel's Oakland outfit. San Diego whipped the Oaks again last night, 7 to 4, behind the effective twirling of Al Treichel, while Los Angeles, after three straight wins over Portland, bowed to the Oregon- tans, 7 to 2. Jack Mooty, a for mer Angel, handcuffed his ex- mates with six hits. Russ Bauers, Angel starting hurler, went to the showers in the seventh. San Francisco's Seals slammed Ike Pearson for 10 hits and won as they pleased from Seattle, S to 1, to take over second place in the standing with Los Angeles. The Seals' young hurler, Bob Chesnes, held the Rainiers to seven well-spaced safeties.
