match with Dick Yost (right) who won his
Senators Skid into Third
Yaks Win; Tacoma Here
Home from a road trip that brought three wins as against
seven losses, as well as a skid into third place, the Salem Senators I
pen against the Bremerton Bluejackets at Waters ark at 8:15 j
before the Tacoma Tigers arrive
The Soions bownd twice to i
the hard hitting Yakima Bears in
Yakima Monday night, 8-5 and
9-7. Jim Olson suffered his first
loss of the season when Snag
Moore, first man up in the eighth
frame of the extended initial
contest, smacked a home run
over the left field wall to break
a 5 to 5 tie. Olson, off to a bad
start when the Bears picked up
four runs in the first inning,
battled his way back as his
mates picked up three tallies
in the fourth and two more in
the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Yak
ima added another in the sixth.
It looked like a win for Olson
in Yakima's last half of the seve
cnth after he had retired Edo
Vanni and Babe Gammino with
Al Jacinto resting on second
But it wasn't to be for Ray Or
teig caught hold of the first
pitch for a double to score Ja
cinto with the knotting tally.
Then came Moore with his game
winning homer.
A seven run lead given Gene
Patterson in the nightcap
through the first five frames
didn't mean a thing to the bomb
ing Bears. They took advantage
of his loss of control in the fifth
and before the side had been re
tired, the bulge waa down to a
7-S basis.
The Bears continued to whit
tle away and four solid blows
in the seventh drove Peterson to
the showers. John Bianco came
In to finish out the frama but
not before Yakima had added
another three tallies.
Scenting victory that a few
innings before seemed out of the
question, the Bears lost little
time in taking advantage of Bl
anco's pitching as they opened
the eighth. He walked Vanni
and a moment later Jacinto
bunted down the third base line
and both runners were safe
when the ball couldn't be field
ed in time to make a play. Gam
mino struck out but Ray Or
teig drew a base on balls to load
the sacks.
Bianco gave way to Bill Os
borne at this Juncture. Ted Jen
nings grounded out but Vanni
cored on the play and Jacinto
and Orteig romped home on
Gene Thompson's double to right
renter field.
The double loss, coupled with
Vancouver's two wins over the
faltering Bluejackets, 1.V5 and
T-l, dropped Kalem Into third
place. The Caps took ever Mie
second niche.
Tacoma and Victoria split a
twin bill, a circumstance that
dropped both nf them Into the
tiasement. The Athletics tri
umphed in A in ttie first en me
and Inst the second. U S.
Spokane downed Wenatchee
twice, t-3 and 10 8 to scramble
into sixth place.
On of the finest programs of
thoroughbred racing ever pre

New York, May 31 tfi Lost,
strayed or stolen 52, 158 major
league baseball fans, 26,836 rac
ing enthusiasts and $1,294,466 in
pari-mutuel betting money.
Those figures represent the
falling off in business at the
eight big time ball parks and
10 of the country's race tracks
yesterday as compared to the
Memorial holiday a year ago.
The wartime and post war
sports boom is past its peak if
you take sports as a barometer,
at turnstiles and totalisaters.
Combining the two major
sports, you'll find that at the 18
widely scattered points, only
four attracted 50,000 or more
spectators. Tops for the day
was the 60.095 fans who saw
Vulcan's Forge win the right
suburban handicap at New
York's Belmont Park.
An estimated 150,000 saw the
500-mile automobile race at In
dianapolis, 25,000 under the
1948 count.
The crowds at four National
league parks held up pretty
well, with a total of 142.067 or
a mere 3.409 less than last
year's 145,476. But the Ameri
can league's 143.553 fell 48,747
under the 192.300 of 1948.

Bears Can Hit
Those Yakima Bears cannot
matter of defense but a club that can manufacture a team bat
ting percentage of .316 apparently is in position to drive in more
runs than it can kick away. Led by the fleet-footed Edo Vanni,
with a fat percentage of .430, six of the Bear regulars are hitting
over the .300 mark. Their habit of breaking out with high ex-i
plosives has been the ruination of the opposition in many con!
tests. Yakima pitching isn t much superior, if any. tp other
Western International loop clubs, but, if you can beat the other
team into submission, you can get along on just so-so chucking.
Victoria Lags
The Importance of hitting,
do to a ball club is well demonstrated in the lowly posi
tion of the Victoria Athletics. The last league sum
mary gives the A's a percentage of .257 mark that en
titles them to the circuit basement. On the other hand
they are currently tied with the Vancouver Caps in
team fielding with a percentage mark of .955. The
Senators are next in this department with .952. The
Yakima Bears have amassed a total of 504 bases from
their strong arm attack as compared with 365 for the
Senators. Incidentally, the Soions are last In this con
nection. t
Tars Here Next
Changes are freauent in club personnel of Western Interna
tional league clubs, like all
no exception. Six men have been added to the roster since the
close of operations last fall. One
catcher, is a familiar figure in
Yakima in 1947 and '48. Other new additions lnciuae L,uigi
Briganti, second baseman from Billings of the Pioneer league;
Don Corey. 20-year-old freshman receiver, playing his first pro
ball; Slan Halstead, pitcher, and Dick Sabatini, outfielder, both
from Phoenix of the Arizona-Texas loop, and Walt Pocekay,
outfielder from Stockton, Calif. Manager Alan "Inky" Strange
still has with him two of last year's upper bracket pitchers: Joe
Sullivan and John Marshall. During his two yean wun tne
Tars, Sullivan won 25 games while losing 10. Marshall has a
record of 31 wins and 23 losses during a similar period.
Dick Doing Well
Dick Gentzkow, ex-Salem outfielder, is doing well
with the Amarlllo club as is Paul Halter, Woodburn
product. Halter has been hitting at a .350 clip while
Dick's latest figure is .320. Both boys went to the Little
Rork club of the Texas league early this spring but
apparently the manager had his mind made up before
camp bad been established and Halter and Gentzkow
were shunted to Amarillo. . . . Those persons who saw
the Oregon State-Michigan State entertainment on Bell
field last fall 'will recall Lynn Chandnois, the Spartan
halfback who did so many things well. Evidently he
is still in the groove for he and nave Lumsden, veteran
linemen, won top individual awards as the conclusion
of spring training. Chandnois was named the outstand
ing player for the third straight year following a eon
test that drew some 11.000 spectators. He will be seen
In action in Portland November 12 against Kip Taylor'j

Major Pennant Contests
Shape Up as Predicted
By tha Auorlalad Prrxal
The major league pennant races today were beginning to
shape up as predicted.
While the National remained in a triple tie for first place for
the second straight day, the American was tightening up with
such familiar contenders as Boston and Cleveland moving in.
As a result of splits in Me-i
mortal day doubleheaders,
Brooklyn, Boston and New York
still were crowding each other
for breathing space in the sen
ior circuit's top slot. All have
won 22 and lost 17.
The Dodgers outlasted the
Giants, 2-1, in a 13-inning thril
ler in the first game of the twin
bill. The Giants bounced back
to win the second, 7-4. The
Braves whipped the Phils, 7-3.
in their doubleheader opener in
Philadelphia, but the Phils came
back to win, 6-5, in 10 innings
of the nightcap.
Someone must give way by to
right. The Dodgers and Giants
meet fn a rubber game under
the lights. The Braves engage
the Phils In a day affair in
Philadelphia in the only games.
The Red Sox completed a
profitable home stand, sweeping
a twin bill from the Philadelphia
Athletics, .10-2 and 4-3. to re
place the A's as runner-up to
the Yankees in the junior cir
cuit.
Cleveland, victor in five of
its last six, knocked off the
hapless St. Louis Browns twice.
2-1 and 5-0. The Indians need
ed 12 innings to win the open
er. Detroit and Chicago exchang
ed close decisions. The Tigers
won the opener, 3-2, and the
White Sox took the second, 2-1
The St. Louis Cardinals took
over fourth place in the Na
tional league from Cincinnati by
one percentage point by defeat
ing the Reds in both ends of
their twin bill, 8-6 and 9-2
The loop's tail-enders, Chicago
and Pittsburg, divided a double-
header. The Cubs grabbed the
first game, 8-5, and Pittsburgh
took the nightcap. 8-6.
It took an eight-inning home
run by Ted Williams with one
aboard to give the Red Sox
their double triumph. Al Zarilla
paced an 11-hit first game at
tack against three pitchers with
a grand slam homer and two
singles.
