Major Leaguers Trade
Five, Plan More Swaps
New York, June 14 ) Five major league baseball players
swapped uniforms today amid rumors that maybe a half dozen
more would change clubs before the trading deadline at mid
night tomorrow.
The Boston Red Sox, in a bid to strengthen their wobbly
pitching staff sent Lefty Mickey'
Harris and Outfielder Sam Meie
to the Washington Senators yes
terday for Righthander Walt
Masterson. The New York Gi
ints shipped Catcher Walker
Cooper to the Cincinnati Reds
tor Backstop Ray Mueller.
The grapevine has the Giants
planning a wholesale shift in
their personnel.
Outfielder Willard Marshall
nd First Baseman Johnny Mize
also are reported on the block.
The Giants are looking for an
established second baseman and
according to the boys in the
know they have their sights
trained on either Ed Stanky or
Eibby Sisti of the Boston Braves
with Marshall as the pawn. Ihe
Braves are seeking an outfield
ir of Marshall's class.
Mize, despite his ten home
runs, has not been hitting and
his slowness afoot does not fit
In with Manager Leo Durocher's
style of play.
The rumor mart also was
working in the American league
with smoke brewing in the ranks
of the pace-setting New York
Vankees, the runner-up Detroit
Tigers and the last place St!1
Louis Browns.
New York is pining for an
outfielder and it is understood
that Manager Casey Stengel will
take a chance on Detroit's prob
lem child, Dick Wakefield. The
Yanks also would welcome Dick
Kokos of St. Louis. The Browns
re said to be willing to trade
Second Baseman Gerry Priddy
If they can land a suitable re
placement. Yankee S e e o n d Baseman
George Stirnweiss is the lad the
Yanks are rumored as dangling
In front of St. Louis and Detroit.
The Browns might trade Priddy
to Detroit for Wakefield and
lush or a pitcher and then ship
Wakefield or Kokos to New York
for Stirnweiss.

White, although dropping nine

7-4, to Open Series Here
It was a pretty fair ball game through five Innings, then those
pesky Vancouver Capilanos had to spoil the fun of some 2000
spectators at Waters park Monday night by beating the Senators
1 to 4. The crowd was augmented by virtue of the activities of
the Y'l Men's club who sponsored their annual "Family night."
Two games, starting at 7
o'clock will constitute Tuesday
night's program as the two clubs
endeavor to make up for contests
rained out earlier in the season.
Jim Olsen was the victim of a
12 hit attack on the part of the
Caps, the barrage including dou
bles by Manager Bill Brenner,
Charlie Mead and Henry Fernan
dez. They opened fire immedi
ately after Umpire Young told
them to have at it as Jim Rob
inson singled. An infield error
gave Henry Fernandes life at
first while Robinson reached sec
ond safely. Len Tran lofted a
fly to Mel Wasley for the first
out with Robinson scoring.
Charlie Mead's single advanced
Ferdanes to second but the latr-
ter was forced out at third by
Ray Tran. "Easy out" yelled
spectator as Bill Brenner walked
up to the plate. His response
was a double to center that scor
ed two runs.
The Solons trimmed the mar
gin by one in the second and
were well on their way toward
adding another or so when Ol-
loping down the first base
line, brushed against George Ni
cholas. Cap pitcher, who was
chasing the ball that had rico
cheted off the moundsman. Ol
sen was called out for interfer
ence although he had no time to
avoid the pitcher and that ended
the rally.
Nevertheless, Bill Beard's crew
got back into the ball game in
the third after the Capilanos had
added another run to their string
in the same frame. Wayne Pe
terson, first up. singled to left
and was promptly moved to sec
ond by Bud Peterson's base
knock. Larry Orteig forced Bud
Peterson at second and Mel Was-
drew a base on ball to load the
sicks. At this j uncture Bob
Cherry scored all three with his
double to deep right center.
Salem got a man in each of
the next three frames but noth
ing happened in the scoring line.
The Caps did a lot better as Bren
ner, Nicholas, Robinson singled
and Ferdandes doubled for a net
of three runs, all in the sixth.
Olsen held the opposition in
check thereafter but the dam
age had been done. Nicholas
who appeared to be headed for
an early exit, gave up two hits
in the last four innings. He col
lected two singles as he drove in
a run, an accomplishment match
ed by Olsen, except the latter
hit a double and did not break
into the R.B.I, column.
The loss shoved the Senators
down to the .500 mark which

PCC at Sketchy
Spring Meeting
Portland, Ore., June 14 (U.B
Business sessions of the annual
Pacific Coast conference meeting
got under way yesterday but ac
complishments of the closed ses
sion "were a little sketchy,"
Secretary H. D. Thoreau said.
A check for $3,125.81 from the
University of Oregon which rep
resented net income Oregon
earned at the Cotton Bowl game,
was accepted by the conference.
The sum was the excess of the
theoretical income Oregon would
have received from Rose Bowl
receipts. The Oregon team
grossed more money from the
Cotton Bowl game than Califor
nia earned in the Rose Bowl tilt
with Northwestern.
A conference spokesman said
penalties may be imposed against
certain conference members for
PCC code violations but if any
action was taken it would be
tomorrow.
Victor Schmidt, conference
commissioner, was slated to
make a report on the code today

Hornsby Changes Front
Of all persons, Rogers Hornsby, the scourge of all pitchers

Dut Hornsby in a recent interview with Arthur Daley of the
New York Times, advocated the legalizing of all pitching deliv
eries that were ruled out around 1920 "the spitball, the shiner,
any doctoring of the ball." That,
up matters between pitchers and
the advantage is with the hitter.
make a ball sail and you'll take
tion. "
It May Be Heresy
Coming from a batter, who during his long tenure scarcely
knew or cared whether a pitcher served them up right or
left handed or with his foot, his statements would indicate .
Hornsby has mellowed a bit. He had a life time average of
,358 and during one span of five years he batted an incred
ible .402. Most experts rate hime as the greatest right handed
hitter who ever lived. "The Rajah lived and breathed and
ate and slept baseball," relates Daley. "So jealous was he
of his phenomenal eyesight that he protected It at all costs.
He never strained it on movies or by reading. Nor woujd he
smoke or drink. And he ate strength giving steaks at practi
cally every meal if that really can be considered a hard
ship Modern Hitters
Hornsby claims modern day hitters take their eyes off the
ball. "They hit the pitcher's motion, not the ball. Listen, I fol
lowed the ball so closely I could see it hit the bat". The Rajah
could hit any kind of a pitch. If the hurler threw inside, he pulled
the ball to the left. He drove outside pitches to right and down-
the-alley pitches smack through the centerfield alley . . . Man
agers tried everything to stop him but without success. They
even tried dusting him off. That
it did the time a cold blooded,
three beanballs at the Rajah
Hornsby went sprawling into the
his pants and assumed his fearsome batting pose," relates Daley.
"Okay, wise guy," he challenged, "What are you going to do
now?" Hornsby hit the ball out of the park.
Honor Well Deserved
They gave Lestle Sparks a blanket during Willamette
university's commencement activities over the week end and
no person was more entitled to the honor than the man who
was on the receiving end. Kindly and gracious, obliging and
meticulous in his relationships with his fellows, "Les" has
a multitude of friends. Perhaps he has a few enemies but if
so, they have never been brought to our attention. By all
rights, Professor Sparks, if he had gotton his just desserts,
would have received not only a blanket but an entire bed
room suite. Those who initiated the project report Willa
mette athletes, past and present, coaches and directors were
extremely eager to have a part In the program.
Sparks True Sportsman
Sparks is a member of the select group who seldom if ever
shows his irritation concerning the officiating of any given sport.
Sometimes his practice of leaning over backward to give the
other side all credit due irked this writer. But no matter how
turbulent and antagonistic spectators may grow, Les keeps calm.
He may be seething inside, but if that be true, no one ever sus
pects it. Probable the reason for all this is the fact that he has
keen insight into college sports and knows when a good job is
being done regardless of whether it is being accomplished by
the Bearcats or the opposition. Yes, he deserves the four star
blanket for coaching football, basketball, track and tennis.
