Salem Skids to Third
Spot as Caps Win Pair
Skits and
Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal Sports Editor
The ways of professional base
ball are devious and unpredict
able, especially to those on the
outside looking in. And if one
needs an example of how not
to secure good will of the fel
low who pays the bill the option
ing of Duane Crawford to the
Denver, Colo., club fills the bill.
Eventually, we presume the real
reason behind the move will
come out, but right now it ap
pears the Portland management
went out of its way to prevent
Salem from securing a capable
first sacker. In all probability
General Manager Bill Mulligan
of the Beavers had little to say
concerning the disposition of
Crawford since the brass hats of
the business office make the
iinal decision. And that de
cision usually is based on the
amount of money that will be
acquired. Mulligan told Salem
fans that Crawford was "defi
nitely major league material, '
so he is sent to mile-high Den
ver, where he will be able to
get a down hill shoot at some
big league position, we pre
sume. Tedd Gullic, Beaver coach,
who is commuting daily between
his Salem home and his Port
land assignment during the time
the club is at Vaughn street,
swears by Jim Turner as a field
general. "In all my experience
I have never worked with a man
who is a more profound student
of the game, one who works at it
all the time and one who directs
the strategy at all times," prais
ed Tedd. Seems Turner is some
thing of a Connie Mack in his
direction of the team afield,
calling the pitches and directing
the defensive moves of his play
ers. Gullic believes Turner will
be a major league manager be
fore many seasons.
The former Salem Senator
manager had something to say
concerning Duane Crawford.
Asked whether Turner had any
thing to do in the sending of
Crawford to Denver, Gullic
blocked the question by reply
ing that any player who makes
good is entitled to advancement.
And since no manager will
break up a winning combination
such as Turner has at this writ
ing, the management thought it
was doing Duane a favor by
sending him to Denver. How
ever, Tedd admitted that it was
doubtful whether the league
with which the Colorado capital
is affiliated will play a higher
brand of baseball than is pro
duced in the Western Interna
tional. Gullic is a bit, surprised over
Marty Krug's rather indifferent
showing at first with the Salem
club. During spring training
with the Benycrs at Riverside,
Krug played every ball that
came his way in spite of the
rough grounds that had some
of the more experienced per
formers ducking. He believes
the youngster for whom the
Beavers put out real cash, may
yet make the grade.
Seems to he a bit of surprise
among the fishermen over the
ruling carried in the official
synopsis of Oregon angling laws
that the length for game fish Is
eight inches where they are
raught: in that part of the
Nunes Hits
Homer in
Each Contest
(By Ir.e Associated Press)
The surprising Vancouver
Capilanos, who dropped four suc
cessive starts to the Salem Sena
tors in the Oregon City, surged
back on their home field last
night to sweep a doubleheader
and three-game scries from the
same Senate nine by scores of
9-8 and 7-4.
The triumphs relegated the
once-leading Salemitcs to a third
place tie with Victoria and lift
ed the Caps from a cellar dead
lock to a tie for sixlh.
Spokane, taking its second
one-run edge from the Bremer
ton Bluejackets by a 6-5 12-in-ning
count, moved into the
league leadership with Tacoma,
2-1 winner in 11 innings over
Wenatchec, a challenging sec
ond. Victoria dropped a 10-3 con
test to Yakima.
The Caps marked up both of
their triumphs on next-to-last
inning splurges, pushing over
five tallies in the sixth inning
of the opener and three in the
eighth frame of the nightcap.
Six home runs, evenly divided,
sparked the twin bill with Sa
lem's Mel Nunes collecting one
in each tilt.
No lengthy blows, but timely
hitting, paid off in the Spokane
and Tacoma extra-inning wins.
The Indians overcame an early
Bremerton lead in the seventh
frame, bunching five singles for
four runs, and pushed across
their winning tally in the 12th
on singles by Biff Buff lap and
Rip Koenig and Pitcher Pete
Zmitrovich's sacrifice.
Roy Paton's eleventh inning
single with two out and George
Pclati on third broke up a tight
pitching duel between Tacoma's
Gordon Walden and Wenatchee's
Rookie Bill Osborn. The winning
Tacoma tally was the only earn
ed run of the 2-1 game which
saw Osborn give up but five hits
in his first professional start ; i.d
Walden but seven.
Yakima bunched four walks
and two hits off Victoria's Bill
Prior to push over six runs after
two were out in the second in
ning to sew up its series clinch
ing clash with the Victorians.
The splurge included a three-run
homer by Gene Thompson and
Barnes' two-run double.

Tie for 1st
By the Associated Press.
There were a lot of explosive
goings-on in the Pacific Coast
league last night, with the Hol
lywood Stars setting off the
most spectacular fireworks.
Sacramento was leading Hol
lywood, 7 to 4, in the eighth
inning when the Stars upset the
Solons with a seven-run blast
on five hits, four walks and a
wild pitch to win, 11 to 8.
Before the shooting ended
both the league leaders, Port
land and San Diego, lost a game
but. remained tied at the top;
the cellar dwellers, Seattle and
Oakland, each won but were still
tied at the bottom; Los Angeles
was alone in third place and
Sacramento, San Francisco and
Hollywood were tied for fourth.
In Portland the Los Angeles
Angels performed a somewhat
similar operation on the Beav
ers. Portland Pitcher J.tke
Mooty was sailing along with a
3 to 0 lead, having yielded only
lone hit and a walk, when in the
seventh inning the Angels burst
forth with four runs to win, 4
to 3.
Tuck Stinback singled for the
Angels, then Mooty walked
three men in a row to force in
a run after which singles by
Lou Stringer and pinch-hitter
Leon Treadway off relief pitch
er Ad Liska brought in three
more. t

What's the Matter With
The St. Louis Cardinals?
New York, April 24 (U.RI What's the matter with the St. Louis
Cardinals? That was the pertinent question being asked on all
fronts today as the world champions languished in last place
while the Pittsburgh Pirates, a real "surprise package," held
first place with six victories in seven starts. The Cardinals, with
only two victories against five'
defeats are laggards in other de
partments, particularly in that
all-vital one of run-making. In
seven games they have scored
only 23 times for an average of
3.28 per game. Every other club
in the National league tops
them not only in total runs
scored but in the average num
ber per game. The most runs
scored in a single game by the
Redbirds is five and that was
yesterday when they dropped
an 8 to 5 decision to the Pir
ates. Brooklyn hung on behind the
Pirates in second place with a
5 to 2 win over the Phils at Eb
bets field. Warren Spahn cele
brated his 26th birthday by
pitching the Braves to a 5 to
1 victory over the Giants at
Boston. The Cubs topped the
Reds at Chicago, 7 to 1, in a
weird defensive game in which
Cincinnati made four errors and
Cubs three.
The Yankees surged to the
top in the American league with
their second straight victory ov
er the Boston Red Sox, 3 to 0,
in which Allie Reynolds scored
his second straight shutout and
missed a no-hitter only because
Rudy York tagged him for a
seventh-inning double and a
ninth inning single.
Detroit found the home run
range against Chicago, smash
ing five to hand the White Sox
their first loss, 7 to 4. The In
dians made 18 hits at Cleveland
to drub the Browns, 10 to 4. Re
lief Pitcher Tom Ferrick cut off
a two run ninth inning Athle
tics rally with a game-ending
strikeout to give the Senators a
4 to 3 victory at Washington.
Bearcats Eye
Linfield Nine
Willamette's third Northwest
conference baseball game is
booked for Friday afternoon at
McMinnville against Linfield
and Coach Walter Erickson will
pitch either Howard Olson or
Dale Alder. Olson was on the
mound when the Bearcats beat
Oregon last week. A sore arm
has removed John Slanchik
from the pitching staff, at least
temporarily. Slanchik has had
a chipped bone in his elbow ever
since he was a youngster and has
had more or less trouble. Marv
Goodman is improving as a
moundsman and may be able to
take his turn along with the
others.
Linfield is expected lo throw
their ace pitcher Peterson
against the Bearcats. Peterson
was one of Linfield's best bas
ketball performers last season.
Saturday's scheduled game
with Oregon College of Educa
tion has been cancelled at the
request of the Wolves.

Detroit Returns Vico
To Portland Beavers
George Vico, tall, popular, 23-.vear-old first sacker who per
formed for the Salem Senators and Portland Beavers last season
al! d was sent up to Detroit at the beginning of the 1947 season.
is being returned to Portland immediately and may be with the
Beaver club for the remainder of the season, Portland baseball
club officials announced Wed-
nesday. Vico played most of the
1946 season with the Senators
and was called in by the parent
Portland club in August. He
may rejoin the Beavers in time
to see action in the Portland-
Los Angeles doubleheader at
Portland Sunday.

incident occurred at Seattle last
Saturday during an argument
with Umpire Bill Engeln, and
Fcrnandes was set down for his

"As Homelike
As a Barn"
Cy Hartman finally get his new
barn painted, but. plenty of folks
had a hand in H. Whenever some
one got a free day, or a little extra
time, they'd come over and help
out with paint and brush.
And Cy, to show his' apprecia
tion, he4d a big "barn wftrminfr'
Saturday lor all the folks who'd
helped him (but not barring1 those
who couldn't). Ma Hartman sup
plied sandwiches, and Cy rolled
out a mellow keg of beer.
You'd never think of a barn an
"homelike," Bat with thofie lanterns
hnnrintr frnm ihf rafters; maIr-
shift tables spread heavy with
food; and Ed Carey's fiddle play
ing while the folks enjoyed their
beer Cy's barn was sure a mighty
hospitable-looking place!
From where I sit, it's just about
as appropriate to have a barn
warming as 4 housowarming . . .
if only because it's another chance
to get neighbors together in a
spirit of good fellowship.
