8 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, May 1, 1947 Portland Loses 2-1; Slips to Third Place By the Associated Press) The Los Angeles Angels alone among the Pacific coast league clubs had an easy time winning last night to hold their first place spot. All the other games were close battles decided in the ninth inning. San Diego climbed over Portland into second place, a game behind the Angels. Los Angeles, behind the five-hit pitch- ine of Lefty Chambers, went on Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Oregon State and the Mult nomah Athletic club plan ex tensive improvements of their football fields and if muck and soggy turf prevail next fall it won't be because officials didn't make a sincere effort to remedy existing conditions. Both jobs are under way, particularly so at Multnomah stadium where a particularly porous type of earth is replacing the mixture that neither sheds nor absorbes fall rains. The field will have a high turtle back providing for rapid run-off of water. Heavy use of Multnomah field makes it extremely difficult to keep it in shape, particularly during a season with excessive mois ture. If it were possible to aban don play there for a year the grass would get a chance to real ly root. Over at Corvallis Spec Keene has launched a revamping pro gram that is expected to be com pleted before the first game of next fall. It is hoped that the result will eliminate such mud battles as the one between the Beavers and Webfoots last No vember. The program includes installation of new tiling, re surfacing and resecding a por tion of Bell field. Lights will be shifted from the game field to the practice field permitting late afternoon scrimmages with out digging up the turf just prior to important Intercollegi ate contests. A news release from the OSC campus claims "the completed project will make Bell field more conducive to the wide open type of foot hall planned by Coach Lon Sliner for next fall." There's a pretty fair prospect that Jerry Lillie will reach Willamette's campus in July to take over the head football coaching chores. He is sched uled to leave Hawaii in June, a bit in advance of the time he thought he could get away from his present assignment. Since few, if any of the grid candi dates will be around in mid summer, Lillie may be expected to do a bit of brush beating be tween the time of his arrival and the first fall practice. John Lewis, recently named first as sistant, will have charge of an American Legion junior base ball program in Portland and will carry that project through to completion. Lewis is credited with being an outstanding base ball coach and m Portland his Grant high basketball team is said to have made the best show ing, material considered, of any prep school in the metropolis. Boys and girls 16 years of age and under will be admit ted to Waters park free eacn r ri riav nieht until further notice Business Manager George Emigh announces. The teen agers will be passed through at the north VilpHcher gate and they must take seals in that section. Wheth er the program will be continued depends upon the attitude and the deportment or the young sters. While no birth certifi cates will be necessary to gain admission, the watchdog of ths treasury says he doesn t want anybody with whiskers trying to crash the free gate . . . July 21 is the tentative dale scheduled for the annual tussle between the Senators and the Portland Beav ers at Waters field. The time for the return contest at Vaughn street has not been announced Absolutely no excuse for oc currence like the one at North Bend where a careless hunter shot "Snow White" the town's net swan. Men who are so anxi ous to kill, regardless of what it may be, should be barred from carrying weapons. They are a menace not only to wild life but to the human race, for they ap parently have little respect for law, moral or oinerwisc. iney are the culprits who shoot the farmer's cow for a deer or kill a fellow hunter because he hap pened to be mnking his way through the brusn. Bulldogs Trim Dragons, 12-3 Dallas The Woodburn Bull dogs pounded out a 12 to 3 Wil lamette Valley league triumph over Dallas here Friday alter noon behind Pitcher Mathews. who allowed eight safe blows in nine innings. Jim Kunz, first man up for Dallas, lashed out a home run but the home team hope was short-lived when Woodburn countered with three runs each in the second, fourth and fifth, two in the sixth and another in the ninth. I a hitting spree with IB Blows to wallop Seattle, 11 to 3. The Angels tallied five runs on five hits and two walks before any one was out in the first inning. Seattle's losing pitcher, Bill Pos edel, went to the showers in the midst of this onslaught. Seattle collected all its runs in the third when Lou Novikoff rapped out a three-run homer. San Diego won a slugfei.t from Hollywood, 10 to 9, but not un til the last inning when the Stars' pitcher, George Caster, walked in Max West with the winning score. Hollywood was leading, 9 to 7, going into the last of the ninth. The Stars had IS hits and San Diego 16. Portland succumbed to the San Francisco Seals, 2 to 1, when Don White's ninth inning double scored Bones Sanders. The Seals' first run developed in the fifth.

It was the third straight time that Newhouser has been knocked out. At New York, the Giants waited until two were out in the ninth before beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to 3, for the second straight time.

LIBERTY and CENTER SALEM, ORE. Slippery-Gloved Lose to Victoria, Mossor Tires In Seventh If Wandell Mossor had been given better support and if he had not tired in the seventh frame, the Senators might have won their second game of the current series with Victoria at Waters park Wednesday night As it turned out the recently acquired left hander grew a bit weary after chucking six frames of top notch baseball, while the defense was far from perfect as a half dozen boots were re corded. The score after two hours and 40 minutes of weari some diamond competition was Si to 4 for the visiting A's. In spite of damp conditions. 511 customers watched proceed ings. Thursday night at 8 o'clock Carl Gunnarson will try his luck against the boys from across the border. Only one of the eight runs scored off Mossor during his seven plus innings of toil was earned as the fumbling started in the first frame. With, two on, thanks to a pair of errors and a walk, Jensen sent up a curling twister which went for two bases when it fell between Spaeter and Gregory. That spot ted the A's to two runs. Salem took the lead in their half of the third as Mossor, credited with being the poorest sticker in the northwest, dou bled down the first base line. An error, Krug's single, Ku- biak's sacrifice, a wild pitch and a deep fly by Gregory subse quently accounted for three runs. Victoria got but one hit off Mossor during the next five in nings, but they chalked up three runs in the seventh by virtue of singles by White and Reg- hetti, a pair of walks and as many errors. Mossor gave way to Dick O'Boyle in the eighth when the Vies tallied another trio. Paterson's triple over Craw ford's head was a feature of the offensive proceedings. They ad ded another in the ninth as er rors continued to play an im portant part in the affair. Although it appeared Dick Mitchell had little to offer in the way of hard-to-hit pitches, nevertheless he managed to go the route for the winners. Only in two innings did he yield more than one blow. The second time it occurred was in the seventh when Krug opened with a dou ble. Kubiak singled him to third but Summers hit into a double play to nip the threat. Victoria (9) I Salem (I) BHOA!
