Senators Win Two More;
Bridges Hurls 'No-No'
Salem Sweeps
Four-Game
Cap Series
The Salem Senators took both
ends of Sunday's twin bill with
Vancouver at Waters field, 3-2
and 2-1 and by reason of this
accomplishment continued to
head the Western International
loop. The series proved disas
trous for the Capilanos as they
headed for the Canadian border
without a single win to their
credit since .the Solons grabbed
the chilly Saturday night
counter 5-4. Attendance Sunday
was 1893, bringing the total for
the three sessions to the 7517
mark.
The Senators were outhit in
both encounters Sunday, the
margin being 11-7 in the full
length production and 5-4 in the
nightcap. Paul Soderburg won
the first and young Dick Sino
vic the second.
Both sides put up a good de
fensive game with a total of
three errors being assessed in
the twin bill. There was little
extra base hitting on either side
although Bart Bartolomei, who
dominated the stick work with
his 4 for 7 in the doubleheader,
connected for two doubles.
A three-run rally in the sec
ond inning of the first game
decided the issue insofar as Sa
lem was concerned. Tedd Kerr's
double drove in two of the tal
lies. The Caps threatened in the
ninth after two were out, an
infield error, two singles and a
walk accounting for a run.
Although Sinovic had a bit of
difficulty finding the plate with
bis curve ball, he set the Caps
down in the first three' frames
of the nightcap without a base
blow. A single, plus Bill Bren
ner's two baser against the left
field wall gave the visitors their
only run.

(By thfl Aiwoclated Pres
Tommy Bridges, the former
great Detroit curvcball artist
now operating for the Portland
Beavers, is the first no-run, no
hit game pitcher of 1947.
Achieving the first no-hitter
of his 19-year career, the slender
Tennessean, now 40, came with
in one baiter of a perfect game
yesterday as he set down the
San Francisco Seals, 2-0, in the
first half of a Pacific Coast
league doubleheader.
The only Seal to reach base
was Bones Sanders, who walked
in the eighth but was quickly
erased on a double play.
Bridges fanned five in hang
ing up his second win against no
defeats. It was his third start
as the Beavers' Sunday pitcher.
He has tied one. In his other
win, incidentally, the ex-Tiger
allowed only two hits.
Only four Bridges' pitches
were hit out of the infield yes
terday. In his long American league
career, Bridges pitched three
one-hit games, once in 1932 go
ing through eight and two-thirds
innings before giving up a safety.
The veteran's sterling per
formance gave the Beavers their
sixth straight win over San
Francisco and assured the Ore
gonians of a hold on first place,
which they share with San Die
go, as the PCL went into its
fourth week.
The Seals bounced back to
take the final game, 11-4, on
some hefty hitting and the effec
tive pitching of rookie Bob
Chesncs.
San Diego pulled abreast of
Portland by nabbing a pair from
Hollywood, 7-5 and 3-1, after
dropping Saturday's game. Hom
ers by Max West and Pete Cos
carart clinched the first contest,
while Manny Salvo's five-hit
twirling assured the afterpiece.
Todd Davis' circuit drive ac
counted for the only run off
Salvo.
Los Angeles moved into third
place ahead of Sacramento as
the Angels swept three week
end games from Seattle while
the Solons took three whippings
from Oakland.
Young Don Carlsen, 20-year-old
converted infielcler, won a
15-inning thriller from Kcwpie
Dick Barrett Saturday, and the
Angels followed with 2-0 and.
8-2 wins. Southpaw Cliff Cham
bers of Bellingham hurled the
shutout and stretched to 28 his
skein of innings pitched without
allowing an earned run.
Oakland, putting on its first
winning spurt, climbed to a sev
enth place tie with Seattle. Sev
en runs batted in by Maurice
Van Robays, ex-Pittsburgh Pi
rate, paced the Oaks to their 6-5,
10-1 victories over Sacramento.
Brooks Holder's two homers
helped nail the opener. Charley
Gassaway's four -hit pitching
featured the nightcap.
The Sunday turnout was the
league's biggest of the season,
totaling 52.287. Oakland's 14,
190 was tops.

By Chrit Kowiti
Oregon State college went all out in its promotion of the North
ern division conference baseball opener opposite Idaho's Vandals
at Corvallis Wednesday. Opening game exercises saw OSC Presi
dent A. L. Strand toss out the first ball, with Corvallis Mayor
George Peavy and Beaver Athletic Director Spec Keene serving
as the opening-ceremony battery. Spec performed behind the plate.
As per pro baseball style, players received prizes for various
"firsts."
That ol' Baseball Urge
Several Salem baseball fans jumped the gun on the Sa
lem Senators' Friday opener. At a Salem high-Willamette Jayvee
contest Tuesday afternoon, quite a hefty handful of townspeople
was on hand to see the high school's Vikings win their third
straight game by nabbing a 9-8, 12-inning victory.
'I'm Sorry, Coach'
Sidelight: One run behind in the bottom half of the final inning,
a runner on third, two outs and two strikes and no balls on the
baiter. That was the situation at Waters park Tuesday afternoon
in the Salem Viking half of the seventh frame. The runner was
Roger Dasch, and the batter Del Kleen. Andy Zahare was on
the mound for Willamette's Jayvees. Everybody in the park
realized it was "now or never" and Dasch decided it should be
"now" so look off for home like a five-year-old kid who had
just busied the corner drug store window. Rog slid across the
plate for the crucial tally, then apoligized to coacn Harold Mauk
"I'm sorry, but I knew I could make it," said Rog. Evidently
Dasch had had orders to use other strategy, and was offering an
apology for disobeying. P.S. Apology accepted by coach.
Keep Them Skis Handy
Ski enthusiasts won't have to put their slats on the upper closet
shelf for another month or so. According to word received from
Arthur Boeschen. manager of Santiam Lodge at Sisters, Oregon,
ski conditions at Hoodoo bowl on the Santiam pass are excellent,
and should remain so for at least four weeks or so.
New Lift Promised
Next winter, skiers will.be whisked to the top of Hoodoo's
butte bv a new lift. Ed Thurston of Eugene, tow operator at the
bowl, is now forming plans for the construction of the lift, which
will offer skiers every type of terrain and slope on runs from one
to two miles in length.

First Round
Elks Tourney
Favorites came through over
the week-end, in the champion
ship flight at least, as the first
round of the Elks-sponsored
Mid-Willamette Valley golf
tournament went into the rec
ord books at the Salem Golf
club. However, there were one
or two close squeaks. For in
stance there was Walter Cline's
1 up decision over Bill Manning
on the 20th and Glenn Lengren's
1 up on the 19th and Harvey
Wahlgren's loss to Ned Ingram
by a similar score.
CUne was one down going
onto the 18th and Manning was
within eight feet of the pin with
two strokes to sink his putt and
take the match. He decided to
try for the cup on the first
stroke and rolled some distance
away. It was then necessary to
take two more strokes in order
to get a tie out of it and Cline
then went on to win on the 20th.

Nats Set Back Bosox
(By the Auociated Press)
Eddie Miller, who only a few weeks ago was put on display in
a showcase window for disposal to the highest bidder without
attracting any takers, definitely established himself today as the
key to Cincinnati's chances for a first division berth. The glue
fingered shortstop, currently pacing the major league hitters with
four home runs in seven games.'f-
hit two home runs yesterday to
help the Keds gain an even
break in their doubleheader
with the Pirates at Pittsburgh.
Augie Galan and Bobby Adams
joined Miller in the home run
parade to lead the Reds to a 13-5
victory over the Pirates in the
opener. Three of Pittsburgh's
runs resulted from Hank Green
berg's second home run of the
campaign.
The Pirates bounced back to
win the nightcap 7-3 in the sec
ond game, limited to five and a
half innings because of dark
ness. The split left the Pirates
still in first place with five vic
tories in six starts.
Another previously unbeaten
nine, the American leaeue
champion Boston Red Sox, bit
the dust for the first time when
the Washington Senators, behind
Walter Masterson's superb
three-hit slinging, downed them
31, in the capital. The Nats
got to Mel Parnell, making his
big league debut, for three of
their seven hits in the first in
ning to score all their runs.
