Beardsley Adds Another Golf Title at Hickam Field Hickam Air Force Base, Oahu, T.H. Lt. Orville Beardsley, 29, son of Mrs. Olive Beardsley and Harry Beardsley of Salem, added another golf title to his already long string by annexing the championship of Hickam Air Force Base in a recent tournament. He defeated Lt. Col. F. P. Thornquest, Redlands, Calif., one up on the 37th hole of the finals held on the Pearl Harbor Navy- Marine golf course. The former Willamette uni versity golf star, who is mar ried to Catherine Foster of Al bany, is athletic officer at Hick am. The couple have two chil dren Dick 5, and Ronald 2. Mrs. Beardsley is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Foster of Albany. Both she and the mother of Lt. Beardsley are confined to the Tripler General hospital near Honolulu. - Their illnesses are reportedly of a very serious nature. Despite this, the pressure of his new assignment as athletic o'iicer, and the task of tending to his two children, Lt. Beards ley lost none of his golf skill when he breezed through the tournament against some of the better service golfers in the ter ritory. Beardsley won the Salem jun ior golf tournament in 1937-38, was the No. 1 golfer of the Sa lem country club, and captained and ScratckeS BY FRED ZIMMERMAN, Copital Journal Sports Editor STOP THE SLAUGHTER In at least one department, the hardball rivals. And that is knowina when a team is licked. In softball when one team tops the other by at least seven runs in five innings they call it a day and go home. Not so in the so-called American pastime. Even if a club blasts out a dozen tallies in the very first frame and adds to the margin as they go along, the rules . declare that they must proceed to the bitter end. The only thing that can halt such an affair (in Western International circles at least) is a time limit that sets a complete inning. By that time are me piayers, umpires, serines ting their last nickel's worth. There is nothing more dreary in the line of athletic endeavor than the second game of a night aouDieneaaer mat ends 17-1 like counter at Bremerton. A seven run second inning took all the snap out of the affair and all that remained was for the ultimate winners to fatten their batting averages. There ought to be a law. LOTS OF BASEBALL Twelve games in a space of eight days Is quite a cud for any ball club to masticate but when the squad that is confronted with such a situation is none too strong in the pitching depart ment then the situation is something for all hands to worry about. At any rate the Senators had such a program when they got back in camp Monday from their trip north. From here on out through July 4 the schedule is like this: Tuesday night, doubleheader with Spokane beginning at 7 o'clock; Wednesday and Thursday nights single contests with the In dians; Friday evening, doubleheader with Yakima; Saturday night single game with the Bears; Sunday and Monday nights, July 3 and 4, doubleheaders at 6 o'clock. DOMINION DAY , We always knew that the United Slates and Canada were on extremely friendly terms but we hadn't realized that the two countries had reached the point of chuminess wherein the people south of the border joined in the celebration of Dominion Day. But such is the case it seems. At any rate observance of Dominion Day in Canada is responsible for the doubleheader program at Waters park Friday night. When the Western International league schedule was drawn up it was agreed that the clubs in Washington and Oregon would play two games on Dominion Day to com pensate for the doubleheaders July 4. So, we expect Business Manager George Emigh will rustle a Canadian flag and run up the pole in right center field along with the Stars and Stripes Friday evening. One verse of the "Star Spangled Banner" and one of "Oh, Canada" would be appropriate also. Spokane and We natchee will engage in a twin bill program on the Chiefs' field Friday night, Tacoma will be at Vancouver while Bremerton will visit the Victoria Athletics. MORE HOME GAMES ' Salem Tans will have more opportunity to see the Senators on the home lot during July and August. The schedule makers arranged 12 sessions on the road for the Solons during .July as compared with 16 at" home during the month. In August Manager Bill Beard and his crew will make a total of 11 stands away in contrast to 17 at Waters park. But what interests the cash customers Is whether the locals will be able to regain I , ground lost during Junt. , ' the Willamette university team to the northwest collegiate championship in 1939-40. In 1947 he was a member of the Fairfield-Suisun, Calif., air force base golf team that won the All-ATC golf championship at Maxwell AFB, Ala. He quali fied as a member of the six-man air force team by placing fourth in the All-ATC tourney. The previous year, while with the occupation forces in Ger many, Beardsley was a member of the five-man air force golf team playing throughout the European theater of occupation and in the ETO finals in Paris. The former P-47 Thunderbolt fighter pilot was recently given the enviable job of athletic of ficer - for MATS personnel at Hickam. He takes over in nearly - completed gymnasium and bowling and swimming fa cilities worth over $600,000. .It takes 11 lambs to supply the "cat gut" for a single tennis raquet. softballers have it all over their 11:50 as the deadline for starting the only ones left in the park ana a tew fans who insist on get Sunday's Senator-Bluejacket en Aroused With 8-0 Th Knnkanc Indians, dubbed season, are rapidly becoming one of the Western International league aggregations that provide the maximum amount of com petition. The Salem Senators learned this to their sorrow at Waters park Monday night when their combined efforts could produce no more than six hits off slender Dick Bishop. The half dozen bingles were not suf ficient to produce one solitary tally to match the eight that the Indians shoved across in three innings. The result went into the records 8 to 0 with only 514 pay ing spectators in the stands. Tuesday night's program con sists of a doubleheader begin ning at 7 o'clock. Han Sciarra's introduction to the Indians wasn't a happy one. He walked Lyle Palmer when the curtain went up at 8:05 and before the side had been retired Paul Zaby, Larry Barton and Jack Parks had connected for successive singles. The net re sult was two runs, with Tuck Stainback driving in another with his long fly to Bob Cherry- It stood 3 to 0 until the fifth when a double by Zaby, a walk to Barton, Parks' single and Ri chardson's out produced two more tallies. Bill Osborn took over the mound chores to start the sixth and stood the Indians off for one frame. But the Inland Empire crew teed off on him in the next after Zaby had flied out to start proceedings. Barton was walk ed and an error by Bud Peter son on Richardson's hard groun der resulted in both runners be ing safe. Stainback's base blow and Jack Calvey's double drove in a trio of runs, Wayne Peterson was the only Senator able to solve Bishop's slants. The Salem second sacker collected three of the Solons' to tal of six blows and came the closest to scoring of any man on the squad. That occurred in the sixth when he singled as he came up first, was advanced by Bob Cherry's base blow and has tened on to third when George Valine mussed up Richardson's throw to second on Marty Krug's ground ball. That loaded the ba ses but a fast double play off Larry Orteig nipped the possi- DUities. About the only fun .the slim crowd of observers got out of the program was watching Dick Bishop strike out which he did four times. The fifth time he came up he drew a base on balls. The Yakima Bears beat Wen atchee Chiefs, H-3 and the Ta coma Tigers came from behind to nose Victoria, 4-3. Bremerton and Vancouver were unsched uled.

' Many's the curse the Dodgers have flung at the square-jawed Chicago Cub southpaw for the manner in which he has hand cuffed them, yet at the moment Brooklyn can thank this same Johnny Schmitz for continued possession of first place in the National league. It was Schmitz' victory, his fourth of the season, that pre vented the St. Louis Cardinals from pulling into a tie for the league lead last night. The score was 6 to 4, and it dropped the Redbirds a full game behind the Dodgers in their hair-breadth harrowing chase. The show was not all Schmitz. He was relieved in the seventh inning by Walt Dubiel before the game actually was won by Hank Sauer's 400-foot homer over the left field wall with one on. But it was Schmitz' steady perform ance a necessary factor while his mates were committing four errors in true Cub style that made It a ball game instead of a fall game. That was the only regular game scheduled, but a raft of exhibition games provided an unusual amount of interest. The next total eclipse of the moon, visible generally through out North America, will occur on October 6, ,1949, with the moon totally eclipsed from J:20 to 10:33 p.m., EST.

June 28 (U.B The lean, rangy man weighed two shiny new bats in his eager hands, looked wistfully out at. the left field stands and then stepped cautiously into the bat ting cage with a muttered: "Well; here goes." 1 The stands were bare with a yawning emptiness, uniy nis team mates were on nana, watching silently two hours be fore game, time, as Joltin' Joe DiMaggio finally came back to the Yankees. They watched closely, and a bit fearfully, as the Clipper took his cuts. Since April 11, a week before the season opened, he had been on the sidelines. Now he was coming back may Thompson and Johnny Mire. The Yankees called on Yogi Berra, Johnny Lindell, Tommy Henrich and DiMaggio. They batted alternately in that order, which meant that Joe was the last to take his five cuts at the ball. And with only him remaining, it was tied at 3 to 3. Berra had hit two and Lin dell one.

AMERICAN LEAGUE (No games scheduled.) Easter Tops PCL With .363 Mark San Francisco, June 28 (U.B Big Luke Easter of San Diego, who spent most of last week vis iting doctors or riding airplanes in search of a specialist to cure his bum knee, still is the leading all-around hitter m the Pacific Coast league. PCL averages of games through June 26 showed Big Luke tied for first in percent age with .363: tops in runs bat ted in with 92 and second in homers with 26. Frank Colman of Seattle also had a bat mark of .363 but played in 20 fewer games than Easter and ,had 100 less times at bat. - - Max West of San Diego was the leading home run slugger with 27. DiMag swung slowly and easily at first. Then he really leaned into the pitch and sent a ball winging crisply far In to "DiMaggio corner," his per sonal home run spot out in left field. Everybody seemed to breathe easier and there was just the hint of a smile on his lips. Joe finally jogged out of the cage and, picking up his second bat, held them out to Charley Keller and asked: "Which one feels heavier?" It was a casual question. But it showed that DiMag was satis fied that his ailing heel finally would stand the gaff. The Giants came out on the field then, to prepare for their inter-league charity game, and Joe retired to the bench. He sat quietly through an egg-throwing contest won by Hank Behr man and Kirby Higbe of the Gi ants from the Yankees' Ed Lopat and Frank Shea. And he made no move, his face a mask, as the Giants won an infield relay race against time. Then came the home run con test. The Giants used Willard Radio SALEM ' ' X?

(AP Wircphoto) Stars Hold Seven Game Lead at Halfway Mark San Francisco, June 28 U,R) The Pacific Coast league cam paign swings into the month of July this week and with the months getting warmer the Hollywood stars are getting hotter. With the season half over,! Fred Haney's boys have in creased their league lead to sev en games over the second-place Seattle Rainiers, the widest mar gin they've had all season. What started out as an early season pennant fight between San Die go and Hollywood has turned into a light workout for the Twinks, the team that wasn't figured to win, place or show. The league leaders, who last week took a series from the Padres, five games to three, en tertain the Oakland Acorns to night. The Oaks are batting a .500 clip in the league, sharing third spot with the Pads. Another battle for the cellar is in the offing at San Francisco where the Los Angeles Angels will open the series. Two weeks Show Game By OSCAR FRALEY Marshall, Sid Gordon, Bobby hit two and Gordon one. Then they called the Clip per and, as he strode from the dugout, the crowd, now 37, 000 strong, sent a resounding ovation reverberating up into the purple sky. Joe didn't let them down. He hit two fouls and then sent a towering smash into the left field stands to win the con test. For good measure he sent his next drive soaring some 420 feet into left center field. He hit again later in a runoff for the right handed hitters who had parked one, but this time he didn't get any. Yet there was a happy lilt to his famed, ground- covering stride as he ran out to center field to take his old position for the first time this year even though he didn't gel a hit in four tries during the game. 85 proof Conodior Whiilcvy.
