Judging from this point, it would
seem the Salem Senators would
have had almost as much op
portunity to do their spring

have found at Mod lord. The citi

everything possible to accom
modate George Emigh and his
squad of future Solons, but it
would have taken a circus tent; 1(1 squad is ' Spike"' Cordcior,

thai originate from southern

probably never be repeated.

Play to 15-Frame Tie '
By Ul Associated Press)
Extra inning games were the rule in yesterday's Pacific Coast
league baseball competition but Portland and San Diego topped
them all in the southern city. The Padres and the Beavers from
Oregon fought it out for 15 innings, giving up in a 4-4 tie only
because of the league's curfew law. San Diego scored in the first,
Portland tied it in the second
innine. but the Padres went 1
ahead, 2-1, in their half, with
iPortlanjd tying it again in the
third.
The Beavers, on Bill Padulo-
vich's triple, Danny Escobar's
single, a single, a walk and
Duanc Crawford's single, took a
two-run lead for the moment in
the fifth but in their half San
Diego came through with two
more runs when Jim McDonnell
walked, moved to third on a
fielder's choice and a wild pitch
and scored on Dain Clay's sin
gle, after which Clay stole sec
ond and scored on Johnny Bar
rett's single.
The defending champion San
Francisco Seals lost a 10-inning
struggle with Hollywood, 7-4,
when the Stars rose up and
smacked the tilleholdcrs for
three runs in the tenth.
There was another 10-inning
contest in Los Angeles in which
Oakland finally squeezed past
the Angels. 4-3.
In the only regulation-length
game Sacramento rushed away
with a six-run first inning blast

We sincerely believe that no car is more generally
satisfactory to its owners than a Pontiac.
Year after year, Pontiac offers the fullest measure
of quality plus outstanding economy of
operation and upkeep. It really leaves nothing
essential to be desired in performance, in com
fort or in handling ease, And, always, it is one
of the most beautiful cars to be seen on the
streets and highways.
The 1947 Pontiac Silver Streak is an example
of what we mean. People who get it need envy
no one and the same will be true of those who
get their Pontiacs in 1948, 1949 or 1930. Year
after year, Pontiac is a fine car in every respect.
THE SOONER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER form new
Pontiac the earlier yon will get it. So place your order
