8 Capital Journal, Salem, Or., Wednesday, "April 23, 1947 Solons' Win Streak Snapped; Caps Cop (By the Asaocialrd Preas) The Salem Senators were "back In the league" today atter a night of Western International league action that included the aeason's first triple play, two flossy four-hit hurling jobs and a home-run-hitting pitcher. Most of the action was crammed into the Salem-Vancouver contest where the Canadians made the best of their home opener by turn- ing in an 8-3 decision. It was their first win of the year and Salem's first loss. Cap Hurler Hunk Anderson played the roles of both hero and goat with his four-hit toss ing earning him the former honors. His second inning grounder to Shortstop Hank Bartolomei, however, touched off the triple play. Bartolomei forced Bill Brenner at second with Al Spaetcr relaying it to first to catch Anderson and nab bing Bud Hjelmaa in an attempt to sneak home. Spokane jumped from fourth place to a challenging second with a three-run sixth inning uprising good for a 5-4 edge over Bremerton in the loser's opening home tilt. Stan Spitzer, although walking nine with his southpaw slants, cut down 11 Bluejacket batters to win. The loss dropped Bremerton to fourth, one step behind the Victoria Athletics who dropped an 11-7 decision to the Yakima Stars. The winners' third base man, Sam Stassi, duplicated his previous night's three-run homer and added a double and single to take bat honors. Keith Simon whiffed 14 but walked 10 to win. Cy Greenlaw, the veteran Ta coma southpaw, treated 5,236 opening game fans to a neat four-hit performance to tame the Wenatchee Chiefs 8-2. In addi tion, the hurler touched off a four-run Tacoma attack in the sixth with a home run over the left field wall.

Hollywood squeezed past the Sacramento Solons, 4 to 3, but only after heroic ninth inning relief pitching by Paul Gregory. The Stars were leading by the winning score in the ninth when Pitcher Ronnie Smith ran into trouble. Sacramento got run ners on first and third with none wUt. Then Gregory came in and there the Solons rally stopped dead. Portland had a narrow squeak, too, defeating Los Angeles, 4 to 3, and escaping from an Angel ninth inning rally. With the Beavers leading 4 to 1 in the final frame, Los Angeles' John ny Ostrowski walked and Lar ry Barton homered over the right field fence to threaten but not quite overtake Portland. The Beavers, held to only one scratch single by Pitcher Red Adams up to the seventh inning when they were behind, l to u came through for two runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth for the win. Los Angeles oulhit Port and. 10 to 7, ana had 14 men left on base. San Diego pounded the cellar dwelling Oakland Oaks all over the diamond for a 15-hit, 12 to 2 victory.

Bevensin Yank Win (By the Associated Pres) He's only' 28 but Bobby Fel ler's lofty position in baseball already is such that hardly a year goes by now without the major leagues strikeout king setting some kind of a record. And even though the great Cleveland Indian's speedball artist missed almost four years of chances to move further into the record books and these years right out of the prime of his life because of wartime service in the navy, Feller's position among the immortals of the game already is assured. In his -six full years and two part-time seasons in the big time, Feller has hurled two no- hit games and nine one-hitters his latest the 5-0 blanking of the St. Louis Browns at Cleve land yesterday. Feller set s record for the big leagues last year when he reached eight one- hitters. Brooklyn's Hal Gregg yester day held the Philadelphia Phil lies to a mere safety in shutting them out 1-0 at Ebbets field. Although they could wrangle only three hits off the combined pitching of Joe Dobson, Earl Johnson and Harry Dorish, the New York Yankees made them count to the utmost by shading the Boston Red Sox 5-4. Three of the Red Sox nine hits off winning pitcher Floyd Bevens of Salem were four bag' gers by Ted Williams, Sam Mele and Rudy York to account for all Boston's runs. York's blow with a man aboard, gave the Sox a temporary lead in the eighth. Eddie Miller, who hit only six home runs in 91 games last year. banged his fifth round-tripper in nine games this year, and added a run-scoring single in the 10th inning to give the Cin cinnati Reds a 7-6 victory over the Cubs in Chicago. Portland Options Crawford to Denver Duane Crawford, former Sa lem Senator outfielder and first sacker, who has been riding the Beaver bench since the club returned to Portland, has been optioned to Denver, according to announcement of Bill Mulligan, general manager of the Portland organization. Salem fans had hoped the popular player would be returned to the Solon lineup should Portland decide he was not needed there.

Vikings Tip Dogs, 4-0, as Province Hurls One-Hitter By Chris Kowiti Albany, April 23 (Special) Only three Albany men got on base here last night us Salem Viking moundsman Rod Province hurled one-hit ball, shutting out the hometowners 3-0 in a Big Six league baseball contest played before a large crowd at Central field. Province struck out 12 Bulldogs, gave up but one base on balls, and led the winners hit- ting attack with a two-for-three plate performance. Province was in trouble once in the second inning. Bulldog Catcher Don Allen, first man to bat in the Albany half of that frame, slapped out a hard grass cutter over second base for a single, the only hit off Province all evening. Next batter, Dave Hobbs, laid down a bunt, and Province threw wildly to first base, advancing Allen and Hobbs to third and second bases, respec tively. That put men on second and third with none out. Pro vince then struck out the next three men to face , him to re tire the side. After that, only one Albany man got on base. Hobbs drew a welk with two out in the fourth stanza, but died on base when Province whiffed Harold Kelty. Salem could muster but three hits off Bulldog Pitcher Junior riimons, but four Albany errors aided the Viking offense. Coach Harold Hauk's Viks shoved across a pair of tallies in the fourth inning. Dick Allison's bunt brought Dick Hendrie in from third and Roger Dasch scor ed from second on the same play when the Albany first-sack- er dropped the ball due to a col lision with Allison. Girod came all the way from first on an Al bany miscue to rack up the other Salem tally in the final frame. Cub Houck blasted out a triple to right field in the fourth for the game's only extra-base bingle. Salem 000 300 13 3 1 Albany 000 000 00 1 i Province and Allixon: Simons and Allen.
