Meadows Owner
Draws Fire From
Commission Head
Portland, April 28 ( Dr.
Frank Menne, chairman of the
Oregon racing commission, cri
ticized the owner of the Port
land Meadows track last night
i "tactless" and of objecting to
"something that hasn't yet been
done."
Bill Kyne, San Francisco
owner of the Portland track,
said yesterday he might close
the track unless suitable open
ing dates are set. A July 14
opening, which he said had been
awarded, was unsuitable.
Dr. Menne, however, said no
dates have been awarded be
cause Kyne has not submitted
an application for the racing
season.

Hitters League
When three baseball games produce a total of 59 runs, then one
can safely state that the hitters have little to fear from the effec
tiveness of the moundsmen. In pointing out this circumstance,
Coach Johnny Lewis of the Bearcats said he. for one. was hard
pressed to find pitchers who could come close to handcuffing
the stickmen. The S9 runs were garnered in a doubleheader
with Linfield and a single clash with the Oregon College of
Education Wolves late last week. Defensive play around the
Northwest conference loop has been fairly tight, so the high
scoring cannot be charged against those afield. College baseball
is a short seasoned affair and unless those involved are able to
catch on with a bush league during the summer there is not
much opportunity for rapid development.
Anglers Frolic
When the Salem chapter of the Izaak Walton league held "
their spring frolic last year, the press to get Into the place
where it was held was so great those In attendance could
scarcely wiggle. Foreseeing another crowd this year, a larger
room has been secured. It Is St. Joseph's hall, corner of
(hemeketa and North Winter streets and the time Is 6:30
o'clock the night of Monday, May t. Since the date la
'r the day after the opening of the fishing season, the gathering
f will present a grand opportunity for unloading those tall fish
tales If anybndyta'Wlllinr to listen'." Profits from the affair '
will go Into the Walton League's building fnnd, a project that
ts of prime Interest to the youth of the community.
The Old Mill Stream
Since the legislation didn't have the emergency clause attached
to it, the measure passed by the last legislature and signed Into
law by Governor Douglas McKay, closing Mill Creek Its entire
length from Stayton to its junction with the Willamette In Salem
except to juveniles will not become effective until early in July.
This means that any person with a license will be within his legal
rights to fish the stream. Don Harger, one of the prime movers
in the legislation, hears that a number of property owners In the
Turner district feel inclined to post their lands bordering the
stream even though the Iznak Waltons feel the program has ex
ceptional merit in combatting juvenile delinquency. Harger
point! out what has taken place in the slate of Vermont where
21 streams are now devoted to the exclusive use of the younger
fry. The program was opposed at first, but land owners became
converted to the idea and have since grown enthusiastic over the
plan.
Opening Game Plans
With exception of few minor details, arrangements for
Friday night's shindig at Waters park have been completed.
With his honor, the mayor, R. L. F.lfstrom still absent from
home base, the task of tossing the first ball may fall to J. L.
Fransen, elty manager. There will be a flag raising If the
brand new pole is hoisted In time. The big stick Is painted
and ready for being placed on end. A brand new six foot
Illuminated clock Is being placed to the left of the score
board by the manufacturers of a popular soft drink and
guesses as to the opening night attendance have been flooding
Business Manager George Emigh'a mail. The winner will be
awarded a season's pass good for two seats. Sine the main
attraction Is the ball game between the Senators and tha
Vancouver Caps, all those Involved In the opening program
have agreed that it ahould be abort
Those Bia Innings '
"V-At any rate the Senators can boast of being the victims of
' a bigger "big Inning" than the one foisted upon the University
of Washington Huskies earlier in the week. The Senator! could
not subdue the conflagration until IS Bluejackets had scored.
The Oregon State Beavers were only able to shove across a
mere 11 tallies. Innings such as the one produced In Bremerton
quite frequently bob iip without much warning and when they
do the defense can do little but weather the storm as best It
can. It's certain Ray McNulty is a much better pitcher than one
would surmise from the assault upon him in Tuesday night's
third Inning.
Bremerton, Wash., April 18 Rob Cherry, whose It hits In
20 official trips to the dish have given him a fat average of .550
in Western International league play, had a big time at the
expense of Bremerton's Alton I. re Wednesday night. The potent
center fielder whanged out a triple, double and single as he drove
in three runs.
Cherry wasn't the entire of
fense as the Senators beat the
Bluejackets 7 to 4 to even the
series one game each. Wayne
Peterson, Bud Peterson and Bill
Beard each came through with
two hits as the Solons grabbed
four runs in the fifth and man
aged to keep out in front behind
Jim Olson's 10 hit pitching. It
was big Jim's initial start and
outside of a sreak of wildness
in the fifth when he walked
three batters after retiring the
first two, he had little diffi
culty in controlling the Tars.
With the sacks loaded with
free passes Bill Taylor, left field
er, lost little time in clearing
them. With two strikes against
him Taylor slapped a double off
the center field fence to send his
galloping mates home.
The Senators had collected
four runs In their half of the
fifth. In this frame Manager
Beard drew a walk and advanc
ed to third on Jim Olson's sin
gle into center. Olson moved on
to second on the throw to third.
Beard scored on Wayne Peter
son's fly to Dick Sabotini in
center field and Wert drew a
base on balls. Bud Peterson aft
er looking over a low pitch,
picked on the next one for a
line double scoring Olson and
Wert. Peterson went to third as
Mel Wasley grounded out and
romped home as Cherry singled.
Singles by Bud Peterson, was
ley and Cherry's triple off the
center field boards gave Salem
two runs In the seventh. They
picked up another in the ninth
when Lee, with the bases full,
walked Beard.
Taylor parked one of Olson's
pitches over the right center
field for a home run In the
seventh to conclude the Tars'
scoring.
The two Clubs will continue
the series Thursday night.

Wolves Aim at
Triangle Meet
On Eugene Oval
Oregon College of Education.
Monmouth (Special) The
OCE Wolves, howling for track
scores, will participate in a
three-way conflict with U of O
Frosh and Vanport College in
Eugene Friday at 3 p.m.
The Wolves have been under
wraps in field events, but have
been pointing for their next few
meets. Last week's battle with
Portland U sharpened the squad.
Big Hank Decker clicked off a
12-foot effort in pole vault, and
is ready this week again. Robin
Lee, OCE's shotputter, is set for
the high jump, and "Moon" Mul
lins, broad jump star, has a good
grip on discus. Palmer, second to
Decker with the long pole, Is
doubling in the quarter-mile.
Wade Bothwell, dash man has
been shaping up faster- and fast-
Curry will run the quarter,
and Louis Pinkston the 880.
Bill Poole, distance man, has
come along well in the last two
meets, and will bear watching
this week.
Rookie Pitcher Saul Rogovin
of Detroit hit two consecutive
home runs in a game for Buf
falo last season.
