Solons
After
Victoria, B. C, Mar 12 The
parade of hurlere Wednesday night in the third and laat game
of the current series. All told. Manager Bill Beard aent four
membera of hit pitching ataff to the mound, but none of them
proved effective aa the Athletica pounded out a 15-11 decision.
Salem took the series two
games to one as they moved
across the Georgia strait to Van
eouver where they open Thurs
day evening.
The Solons had two bad In
nings, the first of the fourth
when the Victorians picked up
six and seven runs, respective
ly. Victoria had a pair when
they didn't do too well either
the seventh and the eighth
when Salem collected a total of
eight runs.
Jim Foster was Beard's first
choice. He pitched to eight men,
being able to get but one of
them out. Bill Osborne came in
and worked three plus innings
before giving way to Gene Pe
terson. The former Linfield col
lege ace took the shelling for
two rounds and Glenn Miller
finished,
Even so, the Senators collect
ed almost as many hits as the
winners, Frank Prowse, right
V-hander who racked up hii fifth
successive win, being touched
for 11 bingles. Moreover he is
sued eight walks. However, the
four Solon chuckers had him
beat in the free pass depart
ment as they issued a total of
12, Peterson being responsible
for five of them.
Offensively, Bob Cherry and
Jim Wert stood out. Cherry
blasted out a home run in the
seventh after Prowse had filled
the bases with free passengers.
Altogether the big center field
er drove in seven tallies. Wert
had a four for five performance.
Although Yakima nosed
Bremerton 3 to 2, the Senators
retained second place, a full
game over the Tars.
Spokane broke Its losing
slreak as the Indians downed
Tacoma 14 to 3. Vancouver beat
Wenatchee, 7-1.

teur athlete. In school or out. Only those boys who were eligible

ships are limited to boys registered in, and in regular attendance,
in any secondary school who have not reached their 16th birth
day before February 1, 1949.
Many Old Records
After digging through yellowing newspaper and through
Id filea, Frank Learned and George Berts have compiled
a list of Oregon association A.A.U. mark) which they admit
may not be entirely correct. Moreover they will welcome any
-Vadditional information that may have a bearing on the sub
ject. The oldest mark and one which may well continue to
stand for years is the 7:11.4 established for the mile walk by
one B. Young of the Tacoma A.C. in 1899. Walking has- vir
tually become a lost art, the automobile having been adopted
almost exclusively aa the means of transportation. Another old
timer is the two mile bike race woa by W. A. Bartholomew
f Tacoma In 1891. His time for the distance wai 5:01.4. la
1901 J. L. Millhouse ef the Seattle A.C. pedaled the mile in
1:25.8. Ned Homes, also of the Seattle A.C. covered 42
feet, ( bichea In the hop, step and Jump event in 1911.
Kelly's Records Stand
Two marks established by Dan Kelly, who at the time was af
filiated with the Multnomah A.C. still are recognized. He ran
the century in :09.6 and the 220
records include the 440 yard run of :49 by B. Gish, Seattle, 1911;
880 yard run of 1:56.4 by Clarence Edmundson, Seattle, 1911;
mile run 4:19.9 by Dick Petterson, O.S.C. in 1946: two miles,
10:22.5 by Jack Webber of Lewis at Clark in 1948; mile relay
1:28.8 by Multnomah A.C. in 1906 120 yard high hurdles :23.6
by Dick Sering, O.S.C. 1946; pole vault, 13 feet 1 inch, Lyle
Dickie, Lincoln high, 1947; high Jump, 6 feet 7, Lea Steers, M.A.C.

Why Beavers Are Low
"Fellows who were expected
rett, Dick Wenner, Jim Gladd and Ford Mullen are strag
gling along with anemic marks," erronkle the publicity de
partment of the Fortland Beavers. "Frankle Zak has faltered
afield too many times for his own good and young Marty
Krug can't find a base hit with a flashlight The pitching hasn't
been the elose-to-the-vest kind It was expected to be." In
the good news department Is the announcement that Joe
Brovia will soon join hi Beaver mates. Hospitalised for
month with a torn ligament in hi back, Brovia will now
ttempt to round InU shape.

Jockey Club
At Longacres in Row With Board
Seattle, May 12 0M9 A breach
of the Washington Jockey club,
over track officials has resulted
year's 54-day race meeting at Longacres, it was learned today.
Gottstein, following a hectic
ington state horse racing com
mission, said:
"Gentlemen, I am not satis
fied with the manner in which
this commission has handled the
question of our officials and its
failure to approve three of them
for no stated reason. I ask that
the application of the Washing
ton Jockey club for 1949 dates
be revoked. Wc will not race
at Longacres."
Commission member William
Weitzman had just announced
that the nominations for approv
al of Racing Secretary W. O.
McKeon, Associate Steward Noel
Chilcutt and Judge George Ad
ams had not been accepted.
Following Gottstein' state
ment, the commission formally
accepted the cancellation and in
structed the commission's secre
tary to refund advance license
fees for the meeting which was
to have opened June 25.
The board finally approved
Chilcutt'a nomination yesterday
after he demanded permission
to state his case and refute any
charges made against him.
The board talked with Chil
cutt in private and then an
nounced his appointment met
with their approval. However,
they still refused to approve Dr.

Patched Tribe Defeats
Yanks; Solons Win 9th
New York, May 12 U-R) No matter what happens to the world
champion Cleveland Indians this season, it looks as if they're
going to owe a lot to arnica, adhesive tape and Al Benton.
The patched-up champs, who are being plagued mainly with
injuries to their vital pitching staff, came through with their big
gest victory of the season to
date last night, beating the
league leading New York Yan
kees, 3 to 2, with Relief Pitcher
Benton in the starring role.
Ace Right Hander Bob Lemon,
who was shooting for his fourth
victory, retired after - pitching
to one batter because he had in
jured a back muscle. Although
he is not expected to be out
more than a few days he joins
a casualty list in which Pitcher
Gene Bearden has a "sciatic pull
in his leg;" Bob Feller still has
kink in his shoulder, and
Satchel Paige seems to be suf
fering . from the infirmities of
age.
Benton held the Yankees to
five hits for seven innings be
fore going out for a pinch hit
ter. With the score tied at 2-
all, the Indians scored the win
ning run in the seventh on sin
gles by Dale Mitchell and
Mickey Vernon and a wild pitch
by Bob Porterfield. The victory
put Cleveland into second, ZVi
games behind New York.
The astounding Senators won
their ninth straight victory, a
14-hit 11 to 1 blasting of the
Tigers at Detroit.
The White Sox defeated the
sagging Red Sox, 12 to 8, scor
ing in every Inning at Chicago
as Rookie Gus Zernial set a 15-
hit batting pace with a triple,
double, and single.
The Browns, with Jack Gra
ham delivering the winning run
on his third hit of the night,
defeated the Athletics, 1 to 4,
at St. Louis.
Rookie Bill Werle of Pitts
burgh held the Dodgers to sev
en hits, five of which he gave
up in the last two innings as
The fastest car In the first
qualifying test Saturday will
start on the inside of the front
row on Memorial day.
"You'll have to do 135 miles
an hour to sit up front this
year," Welch predicted today.
He obviously expects one of his
drivers, Duke Nalon of Sherman
Oaks, Calif., or Rex Mays of
Los Angeles to lead the rolling
start.

Abney Kayo Tops Sour
Night for Salem Pugs
The knockout of Dean Abney in the seventh round of his
main eventer with Davey Ball
climaxed a series of disappointments for supporters of the local
leather slingers.
The only Salem boxer to come
who won a decision over Jim-1
my Ogden of Portland, 129, in
the Initial bout. Keller Wagner,
192, of Salem, earned a draw
with Chuck Maxson, 188, of
Corvallis in the third bout while
Joey Pete, Chemawa battler.
127, lost an unpopular decision
to Brave Junior, 129Vi, in their
six-round semi-windup.
The second bout of the night
went to Don Doyle, a Portland
Negro, who chopped Hank Du
bois, another Portlander, to the
canvass in the second round of
their fight. The towel came In
for Dubois on his third dive.
The main event opened on a
fairly equal basis, but the first
round held the key to the fight.
Ball selected Abney's stomach
us his target, while the Salem
fighter tried to connect with the
Californians noggin.
Abney opened a cut over
Ball's left eye in the first, but
Ball found a more vulnerable
target in Dean's stomach. De
spite his concentration on the
midriff, Ball opened Abney's
nose in the third.
The sixth brought the begin
ning of the end for Abney. He
dropped to canvass on a right,
but came back to finish the
round. In the seventh, the same
routine put him down for the
count.
In the semi-windup, a vote of
the fans would have given a de
cision or at least a draw to the
little contender from Chemawa,
