Jim Olson received credit for Thursday nlfht's Salem Senator
win over the Victoria Athletics, 5-4 to even the series at two
fames each, but the bit; right bander was in the shower room
when Bus Sporer completed the Solon pitching chores for the
evening.
Heading into the top of the
eighth with a '3-3 lead Olson
was greeted by a lusty double
from the bat of Dick Morgan
Frank Finnegan grounded out
but when Saul Israel punched
out a second two bagger, Man
ager Bill Beard Immediately
took cognizance of the storm
signals and called on Sporer.
Sporer who had won a seven in
nine tussle the night before
pitched the final two thirds of
the eighth and all of the ninth
without giving up a hit.
Jumping onto Olson for three
hits and as many runs in the
third the Victorians got off to
a good start. One of the blows
was a double by Finnegan that
drove in two tallies.
The locals evened the count
in the fifth as they got to Bill
Boemler for two hits, one by
Larry Orteig and another by
Beard. A walk to Wayne Peter
son and an error by Gill Mc-
Dougall when he muffed Bob
Cherry's high fly played a prom
inent part in the rally,
Umpire Jerry Mathiu became
involved in a violent argument
in the fifth when he called Or
teig safe at second on a fielder's
choice play, when the discus
sion finally reached a conclu
sion, Manager Ted Norbert and
second baseman Gill McDougall
were no longer present, having
talked themselves out of the
contest. From the press box it
appeared Orteig was out, al
though McDougall had engaged
in something of a dance as he
tried to find the base.
The Senators got their fourth
and fifth tallies in the seventh
after two were out, as the Ath
letics' infield pulled a pair of
costly errors. - McDougall bob
bled Wasley's grounder and Bob
Keeler threw high to first aft
er grabbing Bob Cherry's grass
cutter. Cherry had beaten the
throw for a single and went to
second on the overthrow. Al
Spaeter promptly drove Cherry
home with his second hit of the
evening.
The Senatoas left immediately
after the game for the long bus
ride to wenatchee where they
are slated to play Friday after
noon and night. A second split
doubleheader is scheduled for
Saturday.
From Wenatchee the club
jumps to Victoria for a three
game series beginning May 9
and then crosses over to the
mainland for four with the Van
couver Caps.
Hill Beeson, an outfielder, and
Jack Ferluga, left handed pitch
er have been optioned to the
Bisbee-Douglas team of the Ari
zona-Texas league.

Hogan Faces New
Golf Obstacles;
Views Texas PGA
Dallas, May 5 ) Ben Ho
gan, golf's little giant, said to
day there were three major ob
stacles in the way of his return
to the game as a competitor.
They are: A fractured ankle,
a cracked collar bone and a
cast of nerves. He isn't sure
which is the biggest obstacle
but said he was mighty hopeful
he could lick all three.
The 1948 National Open and
National PGA champion is at
tending his first golf meet since
a bus-auto crash three months
ago almost took his life. He is
a spectator at the Texas PGA
in which is golf buddy of years
standing, Byron Nelson, is de
fending champion.
Ben's doing all the walking
he can take these days.
Louis Ready to
Take Over Boxing
World as 'King'
New York, May 6 UJ9 Jacobs
Beach became Louis Lane today
as aged, ailing Uncle Mike step
ped down and the Brown Bom
ber prepared to step up as king
of the boxing promotion busi
ness.
The new organization sup
plants the 20th Century Club as
the boxing promotion agency
for Madison Square Garden and
the Yankee Stadium but it is
far more sweeping than 20th
Century because It also includes
the Chicago Stadium and the De
troit Olympia.
Gen. John Reed Kilpatrck,
president of Madison Square
Garden, revealed the collosal
new organization yesterday, con
firming reports which had been
whispered for weeks in the fight
clubs and gymnasiums around
New York.
Effective June 1, Jacobs 20th
Century steps out, and in its
place goes the International Box
ing club, which was formed with
Louis as its titular head when
the Bomber retired as heavy
weight champion this winter.
Louis in all probability will
be the director, probably in a
"front man" and matchmaker
capacity while someone like
Harry Markson will run the behind-the-scenes
activity. Mark
son is Jacobs' former publicity
man and now managing director
of 20th Century.

Feller Throws Sad News
For Batters, Tops Socks
New York, May 6 (U.I9 There was sad news today for the bat
ters Bobby Feller is stellar again.
The Cleveland whiz-ball expert, perhaps not so fast as in
other years, nevertheless demonstrated that he still was quite
a pitcher yesterday when he set down the Boston Red Sox on
h;
six hits to win nis first game of
the season, 7 to 3.
Showing no trace of the shoul
der soreness that forced him
out of Cleveland's opening day
game on April 19 and kept him
idle since then, Feller bore
down beautifully when he need
ed to, tiring a little in the eighth
when he had a 7 to 1 lead and
serving up home run pitches to
Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr.
He struck, out four and walked
six...-.-. ....,. ......
Cleveland Manager, Lou Bou
dreau, usually the "perfect gen
tleman," got riled when he
thought Boston Pitcher Harry
Dorish was throwing at his
head and a near skirmish re
sulted. Joe Gordon, Negro rook
ie Orestes Minoso, and Ken Kelt
ner hit Cleveland homers. It
was Gordon's fifth of the sea
son and his third in two games.
The White Sox management
took down the home run fence
in Comiskey park because oppos
ing batters were gettin the most
use out of it, but the torrid
Yankees got a key homer by
Tommy Henrich anyway and
went on to top the Cbicagoans,
7 to 5.
At Detroit, the alert Tigers
won their fourth straight game.
6 to 5 from the Athletics with
Aaron Robinson's homer the
deciding blow,
Johnny Mize of the Giants
picked the perfect time to hit
his 300th big league homer,
breaking up a game with the
Pirates in the 10th inning when
he drilled a ball into the upper
right field seats for a 3 to 2
victory.
The Dodgers made it three in
a row over the Cincinnati Reds,
defeating them 7 to 5 on the
margin of Billy Cox' two-run
homer in the eighth.
The Cardinals snapped a five
game Philly winning streak
when Ron Northey hit a ninth
inning route clout to provide
a 3 to 2 decision.
The St. Louis Browns went
down to their sixth straight loss
in a night game in St. Louis,
bowing to the Washington Sen
ators, 5 to 3, as the Senators
came from behind with three
runs in the eighth inning.
Chicago and Boston in the Na
tional were not scheduled.

Jackie Jensen of California
Golden Bear football fame

but baseball's scouting ex

Jensen, the scouts are con

last game of the season at
Berkeley late this month.
Floyd Caves Herman, the

Suspect Firebug Work as Flames
Gut Lavish Hollywood Race Track
Inglewood, Calif., May 6 W Hollywood Park, one of Ameri--
ca s most lavish race tracks, was razed by a $5,000,000 fire early
today but some 600 thoroughbred horses were spared.
Exact cause of the blaze was not known but police arson squads
started immediate investigations because of the speed with which
the fire spread. They detained
two men and a boy for ques
tioning but released them later.
The fire started in the swank
clubhouse of the multi-million
dollar plant and leaped, within
minutes, through the grand
stand and turf club. Shortly aft
er the roof and upper walls of
the clubhouse and turf club
burned away, the walls began
to crumble. Huge chunks of ma
sonry fell, and sent firemen
running for their lives.
A Hollywood Turf club
spokesman said the loss was
covered by insurance.
One fireman, Inspector Clif
ton Freeman, 30, Inglewood,
seriously injured as all
available Inglewood equipment
plus some of Los Angeles vainly
fought the wind-swept blaze.
Some three hours after the
blaze was first reported at 11
p.m., PST, it was under control
At one time, embers and sparks
from the eight-story high grand
stand shot upwards of 1,000
feet and swirled in a gentle
wind. The spectacular flames at
tracted thousands of onlookers
and snarled traffic in the dense
ly-populated area.
" The stands' were a total loss
but the valuable horses on hand
for the coming meeting were
saved because of the stables' lo
cation a half-mile from the
main racing oval,
Abo spared was the track's
colorful flock of black and
white swans and geese. The
fowl huddled safely in the little
lakes in the infield.
The disastrous fire dealt
death blow to Hollywood park's
meeting, scheduled to start May
17, but Santa Anita park quick
ly offered its facilities for the
season.

Portland, Ore., May 6 (U.R) The Portland Beavera with
covey of ninth-inning pinch-hitters last night defeated the Seattle
Rainicrs 4 to 3, in a Pacific Coast league series opener.

scored his fourth victory on the
ninth inning spree. Johnny La

on two walks, a wild pitch and a
double by Neil Sheridan.
