An aspirin tablet aeems a
pretty small target but that is
the object Dot and Ernie Lind
exhibition shooters, not only fire
at but hit as they tour the coun
try in the interest of a large
manufacturer. Present day rifle
experts dislike to be known as
"trick shooters" for this descrip
tion is handed down from the
days when trickery played a
prominent part in the repertoire
of those men who displayed their
skill on the stage or with the
old wild west circuses. The hid
den balloon trick is an example
The feat is to hit a poker chip
on the stage with a 22 rifle from
the rear of the theater. The old
time trick shooter glued the
chip on a balloon about 18
inches in diameter and suspend-
it behind a curtain in such a way
that only the poker chip was vis
ible. Thus his target was not just
the chip but an 18 inch balloon
hidden behind the curtain.
Suggestions as to the selection
of the proper shot sizes to use
for wildfowl, upland game and
skeet shooting arc forthcoming
from the aforesaid manufactur
er. Size 8 or 9 shot are sugges
ted for woodcock, rail, quail in
early season; No. 6, 7 'A or 8 for
dove, quail in late season and
small pest; 4, 5 or 6 for pheasant,
prairie chicken, grouse, rabbit
and squirrel. For duck shooting
over decoys, 5 or 6; all other
duck shooting No. 4; goose shoot
BB or 2, turkey and large sized
pests BB, 2 or 4 . . . One reason
why ducks were reported in di
minishing numbers last season
1,830,390 one dollar federal
"duck stamps" were purchased
This is an increase of 295,922
over a corresponding period in
1945. Final reports on the sale
of the 1946-47 stamp will pro
bably show a total close to the
2,000,000 mark.
The trend is upward in fish
ing licenses too. The U.S. fish
and wildlife service has issued
statistics to the effect that 11,
068,717 licenses were sold in the
48 states during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1946. This rep
resents an increase of 2,788,485
over the preceding year's total.
Henry P. Davis, public relations
division representative of the
Remington Arms company in
backing up his statement that
"fishermen get around a lot,'
points out that there were 1,
093,099 non-resident licenses is
aued. And we can imagine Ore
gon got its share of the tourist
fishermen. The stale of Missis
sippi actually sold more non
resident licenses than it did to
residents the figures being 9,
158 to 6,494. Both seem pretty
low in comparison to the num
bers sold in Oregon.
Vikings, Albany in Arc Contest
Tars Trip Solons, 4-0
Bennett and
Band Add to
Preps' Color
Salem high school's hustling
Vikings square off with Coac.n
Rex Hunsaker's Albany Bull
dogs in a crucial Big Six league
baseball contest at Waters park
t 8 o clock Thursday night.
Harold Hauk's Vikings must
score a victory over the visit
ing prep nine if local Big-6 and
district title hopes are to stay
brilliant.
Thursday's contest marks the
first time in history that a
high school diamond contest un
folds under the 25th street and
Turner road lamps. The SHS
band provides added color to
the prep inaugural, and Superin
tendent of Schools Frank Ben
nett will be on hand to toss out
the first ball. Bennett's flin
will be made from a box sea'..
a la president style.
Rod Province opens on the
mound for the Salemitcs. In a
Vik-Dog tilt played previously
this season at Albany, Province
limited the Albany crew to but
one hit in twirling Salem to a
3-0 victory. Stopping Province s
twirls behind the plate will be
Dick Allison, who draws the
catching assignment on the Vik
diamond machine.
The infield consists of Bud
Craig at first, Dick Hcndrie at
second. Roger Dasch at short
and Cub Houck at third. The
outfield will probably be com
prised of Brownie Valdez, Dick
Mase and Dick Fleming.

Bevos Get Vic Raschi
Cleveland, May 8 U.R The
New York Yankees today op

Portland Grabs 1-0
Victory in 20 Frames
(Rv this Associated Press)
Right H antler Jack Salveson hurled a 20-inning Pacific coast
league marathon and a 1 to 0 shut out for Portland last night
against Sacramento, allowing the Senators only eight hits until
the Beaver hatsmcn brought in their lone run in the 20th. The
33-year-old Portland pitcher turned in a sparkling mound per
formance with the Senators'1
Guy Fletcher for 13 innings and
Hub Kittle
Allows Only
One Bingle
The Salem Senators lost
ground in their fight to work
their way up out of the second
division of Western Internation
al league competition as they
were beaten Wednesday night by
the Bremerton Bluejackets, 4 to
0. Hub Kittle, veteran mounds
man, held the Solons to one
lonesome blow a single by Lou
Kubiak in the second frame. It
was Ken Wyatt's first loss of the
season. All four of the Tars'
four runs were earned, largely
due to the extra 'base hitting of
Ronning, Reese and Gedzius.
Kittle pitched to but 28 men
and walked but one. On top of
that his controlled pitching was
even more in evidence when he
stopped three grounders for as
sists in one inning.
Vancouver lost a chance to
pull up even with the loop lead
ing Spokane Indians when rain
forced postponement; Victoria
beat Wenatchee 12 to 5 to gain
a virtual tie for second place.
Tacoma bested Yakima, 4-3 in
10 innings,
Salem (n)
f Bremerlon (i)
One by one last year's Sena
tors are beink returned to the
fold. This time It'i Wally Fla
tter who hit .266 as a shortstop
last season. Rumor has It that
George Viro will soon he on his
way back to Geo. E Waters
park but this Is not confirmed
by George Emigh. However the
parent Beavers make all of the
decisions and the knowledge
may not have leaked down this
far. While Vlco was one of the
most popular of the Senators last
neason, he would need to be a
hit more successful with his war
club to be of much assistance to
the Solons, Latest reports show
him batting a somewhat puny
.188.
UBC Divot Diggers

then kept up the duel when
Bruno Somenzi took over from
Fletcher to finish out the con-;
test. I
The victory was the fourth fori
Salveson this season against
three losses. The former Cleve
land Indian and Oakland hurler
collected 15 mound victories
last season against 14 losses. He
has always been a calm mounds-
man and was never in serious
trouble as he kept control of the
game last night.
By chance, the longest previ
ous game played by Portland
was also against Sacramento ;
when the two teams battled in'
1911 through 24 innings to a
1 to 1 tie. That game also tied
the Pacific coast record held
jointly with the San Francisco
Oakland 24 inning contest in
1909, won by San Francisco,
1 to 0.
The Beavers' winning run last
night came on Harvey Storey's
single after two outs and with
two men on base.
San Francisco acquired a first
place tic with Los Angeles by
defeating the San Diego Padres,
6 to 1, as the Angels lost to Hol
lywood, 4 tu 2, evening their
cross-town scries at one game
apiece. The Seattle Rainiers
scored two runs in the 10th in
ning to break a 3-3 tic and beat
Oakland, 5 to 3.

Miami.' Fla., May 8 U.R
Burly Jimmy Foxx, with 24
years in organized baseball and
527 big league home runs be
hind him, ended his active career
today in a lowly Class B circuit
far from the majors. Foxx,
manager of the St. Petersburg
Saints of the Florida Interna
tional league, said he would
eliminate his name from his
club's playing roster when he
pares the personnel to 15 play
ers today. The 39-year-old na
tive of Sudlersville, Md., had
appeared in the Saints' lineup
this season'' as an occasional
pinch-hitter and in relief pitch
ing and catching roles.

Local Boys Make Good
In Armory Fight Card
When Matchmaker Tex Salkeld decided to feature home town
boys on his Veterans of Foreign Wars fight card at the armory
Wednesday night he hit the jackpot. Not in a monetary way,
for the house grossed a trifle under $1000. But for pure, unadul
terated action and aggressiveness the capital hasn't seen anything
like it in many a year and those
fans who remained at home
well, they missed the show of
their lives. Another session has
been booked for May 21 and
the armory should be packed to
the roof.
Not only was the action ter
rific from the time Billy Strutz
and Jimmy Gooding staged a
rousing curtain raiser, until Dick
Abney stowed Ray Garcia
away in 1:15 of the third round
of the main event, but what
made the card 100 percent tops
was the fact that all four Sa
lem entrants won. To summar
ize, Dean Abney decisioned
Frankie Duane, Hal Fries stop
ped Chris Gregory of New York
in 2:55 of the second heat; Kel
ler Wagner took a four round de
cision over Bob Ford, Portland
Negro, and finally Dick Abney
wasted little time in putting
Garcia on his back.
Dean Abney, making his pro
debut, just about fought himself
out in the third as he and Duane
slugged it out toe to toe. But
he had sufficient steam to
weather the fourth.
Hal Fries put so much south
paw leather into Gregory's an
atomy the New Yorker must
have thought he had been run
down by a herd of buffalo.
Wagner, in much better physi
cal condition had his henna
haired Negro opponent on the
deck in the first, third and
fourth. But Ford, even though
not in shape, bounced around
like a tumble bug and refused
to stay down.
Dick Abney cooled Garcia'.'
ardor a few moments after the
opening round when he dropped
the Mexican as the latter was
coming in. Garcia was dropped
for a short count in the second
but Abney really chilled his
doughty opponent in the third.;
