GOOD CATCHES REPORTED AT SUTTLE LAKE NOW Good catches are being made In Suttle lake, east of Hogg pass on the Santiam highway, accord Ing to reports received from that locality. The water has cleared and indications appear favor able for the week-end. Slkits ! Scratches ' IY FRED ZIMMERMAN. Capital Journal Sports Editor The Case for Durocher "I can't stand the guy, but I think he's getting a raw deal," summed up the reaction in connection with the recent Leo Duro cher case, in the opinion of Arthur Daley, columnist for the New York Times. Durocher has been accused of striking and kicking a fan who had ridden him hard during the course of a ball game. Commissioner Chandler subsequently cleared The Lip of any responsibility for the affair. "The most amazing part about the bizarre who-hit-whom Polo Grounds mystery is the way public opinion has rallied to the support of Leo Durocher, hithjerto the most hated man in baseball," continues Daley. "What waverers there were promptly Jumped over on the Lips' side of the fence when the impatient Happy Chandler hastily suspended the Giant manager without any catual basis for it, a condemnatory ac tion in itself." Protection Suggested "Although It might seem like locking the barn door after the horse Is stolen, it Is about time that ball players are given the protection they deserve from the milling crowds when the game ends," writes Daley. "The fans swarm out of the stands and engulf the players who frequently have to fight their way to the clubhouse. Cap snatching and glove stealing Is an almost dally occurrence . . . The Polo Grounds is the worst place of all because the clubhouse there Is beyond een terfield and the players from both teams have to make what they call the 'death march' every day." Would Control Heckling Daley believes that something should be done to control heck ling. "Supposedly one of the beauties of our great American game is the opportunity it affords for and to ride ball players, managers or whomsoever they please. But a line must be drawn, drawn sharply, in regard to blabbermouths who overstep the bounds of decency and good taste. Not only Is It a grevious affront to their victims but also to everyone within earshot." Speaking of what he sort of personalities." the Time should heave such offenders out players being insulted but so is ticularly women and children. League officials have restrained the uncouth language of the players themselves. It's about time for some authority. Chandler for instance, to put the same restraint on the foul-mouthed spectator. A Toast to Al Spaeter And In connection with the practice of heckling, the riding which Al Spaeter, Salem's second sacker has had to absorb doesn't tend to help his batting average. However, Al haa shown Indications of snapping out of It as his base blows (luring the last three games of the Victoria series well demon strate, Spaeter, born In Los Angeles and a graduate of Free mont high school and the University of Southern California, last season established a Western International league record whea he participated In lit double plays. This Is his fourth year In professional baseball, lie hit .353 In 194, .(65 In '47 and .210 last season. Defensively, there Is no better second Backer In the league and If he can pull his hitting up to a more substantial mark he la bound to go higher. Served in War Following a 3W year hitch with the navy, about equally dl vlded between Europe and Japan, Spaeter came back to grad uate in business administration at the Trojan institution. He played four years of baseball there, serving as rapain of the team for one season. He Joined Portland In July, 19-18, and saw his first pro experience in a game against Oakland. Al is unmarried and has a brother, Bill, playing first base with the Scranton. Pa., club of the Eastern league. While In Salem Spaeter lives at the John Farrar home, a place that has proved most hospitable to many ball plajrera. Winner of Kentucky g Salem, Oregon, Saturday, May 7, 1949 Rookie Gets Second Try; Tosses 'No-No' Relief By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Prcu Sporu Wrlttn New York, May 7 (U" Every heart broken rookie who ever took a long train ride back to the minors had a cheer today for Bobby (borrowed time) Shantz of For Shantz pitched nine in nings of no-hit, no-run relief ball to gain his first big league victory, J to 4 over the Tigers yesterday at a time when he was supposed to be toiling for the Buffalo Bisons. And like practically every kid who never got that "one last chance" thinks he could have done, Shantz came through with as great a performance as a Bob by Feller, or his opponent Hal Newhouser, or a Harry Bre- cheen. He relieved started Carl Scheib with nobody out in the fourth after Vic Wertz had hit three-run homer and Dick Wakefield followed with a triple. He retired three men in a row, leaving Wakefield stranded. Thereafter until the 13th when pinch-hitter Wally Moses took him off the hook with a two-run homer, Shantz was in vincible. He struck out seven and though he also walked seven and hit another batter, he was brilliant with men on the base paths. In the fifth he loaded the bases on walks but bore down and struck out Wakefield. On two other occasions he put two men on and got out with double plays. And in the 13th when weariness overtook him, George Kell doubled and Vic Wertz singled him home. A double play which Shantz started him self got Wertz off base and then ended the game by striking out Bobby Swift.
