Lkits and !9Cra BY FRED ZIMMERMAN. A Fine Selection Having known "Buck" Smith hasten to congratulate Prexy G. board for their discernment in adding "Buck" to the coaching staff at Willamette. However, we must admit that not until he made application for the position did we know that he had been christened "Julian." To John election of "Buck" is particularly pleasing. The two men were among those who played under the new assistant coach during the war in Persia. "Buck" was largely instrumental in their enrollment at Willamette. We feel sure he. and Coach Stack house will hit off well. Stackhouse's Plans The new head man will not assign one of his subordinates to the task of building a freshman squad but will employ ' all of them In whipping the varsity into shape. However, . thl does not mean that there will be no second string. For Stackhouse plans to assign certain players on a week to week basis for competition on a level below his top flight gridders. In this way he expects to utilize the knowledge of his associates to better advantage. Working with him will be Johnny Lewis, "Buck" Smith and Am brose Dogeagle. The new head coach expects to reach Salem the first of August and will begin the task of round ing up his players. Brillheart Irked Jim Brillheart, Spokane Indian manager, would like to see the Salem franchise in the Western International league moved elsewhere. "We never have drawn a decent check out here," remarked Brillheart. "The largest crowd we have played be fore in Waters park has not exceeded. 2000." Certainly the cut the Indians got out of the recent series wouldn't provide cakes and coffee for his crew of hungry athletes. We venture, how ever, that attendance at Waters park has been fairly close to that in Bremerton or Tacoma. Brillheart would like to see the franchise transferred to a Washington community or perhaps Lewiston, Idaho. Such a move would trim the cost of trans portation and cut down the time from park to park on a bus. wnetner it wouia Dnng greater financial returns could not be determined until the experiment was tried. So Sorry! Many were the expressions of regret heard in downtown second guess circles following Ray McNulty's great exhi bition of pitching against the Yakima Bears. "Sorry I wasn't there," was the most popular phrase. Another year there should be a greater coordination of activities. The Western International league schedule is set several weeks In advance of the playing season and there Is little excuse for programming an event like the Cherryland Festival In conflict with baseball. The Senators, as a rule, are away from home every other week, thus giving other organiia tions ample opportunity to dovetail their activities. Dupli cation of efforts hurts all concerned. Umpires Take It Physically and verbally the men in blue take a beating be hind the plate. They get little or no sympathy from the spec tators and while the players may go round and round with the umps on occasion, there really is a bond between them. Um pire Young got a vicious crack under his mask the other night that almost incapacitated him. He really was hurt. He eventu ally had to retire to the Salem dugout for first aid but came back to finish the game even though his right arm was virtually use less. Some umpires are more proficient than others, but we have yet to hear of one who was dishonest. 3 t x.11CL Boys singles; Al Heston, Mike Thomas, Merle Baumgart, Jim McClelland, Bob Loveland, Ron Morgali, Gary Shaff, Dave Weeks, Noel Swenile, Dan Danforth.

Capital Journal Sports Editor for lo these many years, we Herbert Smith and his athletic Slanchik and George Nuss, the the men must spent moving Senators Edge on Those Yakima Bears who maintained a commanding lead in western International circles left Waters park Friday night after gaining no better than an even break with the Salem Senators. With both sides producing pitching of the highest quality, run making correspondingly slumped Jim Olsen pitched four hit ball for the Solons in the first game of the twin bill, but Bill Sweiger, ex-Portland chucker. fashioned a two hitter, a com bination that gave the Bears a 2 to 0 shutout. The loss bal anced Olsen's account with ' wins and as many losses. Bus Sporer wrote into the re cord books his sixth victory of the season as against five losses when he pitched the Solons to a 5 to 2 win. Big Jim had a shut out until the ninth when the Bears pounced upon him for four of the eight hits of the contest. A base on balls to Edo Vanni, the only one Olsen gave up dur ing his seven inning asignment, a passed ball and Al Jacinto's single gave the Bears a run in the first frame. They didn't cross the plate again until the seventh when Gene Thompson singled was safe at second on Wayne Peterson's muff of a possible double play ball and scored on Snag Moore s base blow. The Senators had virtually no scoring opportunities as Sweiger faced but 23 men. Olsen lined a double to center field in the sixth after one was out but he advanced no farther as the next two men were easy outs. The second contest went four and half scoreless innings be fore the Solons broke through with two tallies in the fifth. Bob Drilling walked Krug and Wasley after Cherry had struck out. Hedington's single and an infield out scored both. Singles by Cherry and Krug, an error and Hedington's line double to right field added a brace of runs in the seventh while base hits by Wayne and Bud Peterson and fielders choice on Cherry's grounder brought in a fifth score in the eighth. Sporer faced but 28 men through eight innings as he gave an excellent exhibition of con trol and a fine mixture of pitches. Stout fielding contri buted materially to his shutout through the eighth. With a 3 and 2 count on Al Jacinto, the Bears second sacked crashed single to center field to open the ninth. Babe Gammmo followed with a base blow to right. With men on first and second Gene Thomp son flew out to Mel Wasley. Eno Tornay's infield single filled the bases but the situation was re lieved somewhat when Wasley galloped far and fast to pull down Ted , Briskey's . high foul to left. Ted Jennings drew three straight pitches before Sporor got over a strike. Jennings then punched a line double between Cherry and Zurcher, scoring Ja cinto and Gammino. Gaviglio grounded out to end the threat The series with the Bears will include a single game Saturday night at 8 and doubleheaders at 6 o clock Sunday and Monday.

The wiry little St. Louis Cardinal southpaw was poison at night last season. Under the lights he fine 20-7 season. After winning three night starts early this season, he lost his touch. The Cat has failed to finish his last four owl starts. His latest disappointment really hurt. With a chance to tie the Brooklyn Dodgers for the Na tional league lead by whipping Cincinnati last night, the Red Birds flopped, 10 to 2. Brecheen started, but faded for a pinch- hitter in the fourth. St. Louis trailed 3-0 and the lowly Reds had four hits off the Cat who walked five. Normally he passes only one or two in a nine-inning job. The pasting by Cincinnati, which has been staggering to ward the cellar, was the third Card loss in their last five games against' second division opposition. Brooklyn stubbed its toe on New York's Dave Koslo in an afternoon setback. 4-1, that gave St. Louis a chance to close the naD. Don Newcombe was un able to hold an early 1-0 lead and finally was knocked out for the first time in a month while the giants were enroute to s three-run rally in the eighth Vern Bickford gave the Bos ton Braves control of third place as he hit the 10-win mark with a 12-inning decision over the Phillies, 2-1. The young right hander singled to start the 12th, rode to third on Eddie Stanky's single and scored on Al Dark's game-winning single. Bob Muncrief, recently sold by Pittsburgh to Chicago for the waiver price, pitched the Cubs to a 6-5 edge over the pirates in a relief role. Muncrief came on after Dutch Leonard was knocked out in the fourth. Charley Keller, another one of Casey Stengel's cripples, took his turn at giving the New York Yankees a lift. He hit a pinch triple with two men on to climax a four-run rally in the ninth inning. The Yanks came from way back to nip Washington, 5 4, with Joe DiMaggio confining his activties to one single and a walk in four trips. Eddie Joost, the Philadelphia A's sparkplug, had a great night, driving in five runs with three hits, including his 17th homer, in a 11-5 romp over Boston, ine victory left the A's five and a half games back of the leading Yanks. Cleveland took, over third place by dumping the St. Louis Browns, 3-1, on Al Benton's six hitter, while Detroit was being blanked by Chicago's Bill Wright, 4-0. In 1900, only 4.1 per cent of the people in the United States were 65 years old or older. 1390 MBS K. C. !
