Odd Series peimer by 9-8
Wenatchee. Wash., July 6 Manager Charlie Peterson scraped
the bottom of the barrel Tuesday night as he employed a catcher
and an outfielder in the role of pitchers as the Chiefs faced the
Salem Senators in the first of a three-game series.
But In spite of the fact the pair were given six tallies in the
first two innings to work on
Lee Winter, the catcher-pitcher,
and Al Libke, the outfielder-
ii chucker couldn't quite turn the
m trick and the Solons .von, -.
fe The struggle lasted two hours
m and 55 minutes with Hank sciar

n placed Jim Foster in the sixth
w after the starting moundsman
S had issued 12 walks, hit one
h batter and had been touched for
11 hits, good for eight runs.

grand total of 25 bases on balls

Reliefer Becomes Top
Hurler for St Louis
New York, July 6 U.R Howie Pollet, who found his relief In
relief, was the do-or-die darling of the St. Louis Cardinals today.
He has risen from a loss-splattered showerbath pitcher to a
dependable clutch man in the short space of two months, as
witness his 10th victory of the season yesterday when the Cards
bested the Chicago Cubs, 2 to 1,1
Major Standings
10 innings. That, coupled
with Brooklyn's 7-2 loss to the
Phillies, left the Redbirds one
aame out of first place in the
National league.
A 21-game winner in 1946,
Pollet suffered arm trouble in
47 and seemed doomed to the
minors for sure wnen ne iosi
his first two starts this season.
But Eddie Dyer decided to give
him a crack at relief pitching
That was the beginning of the
comeback. In three relief tricks
he gave up only one hit and one
run in nine innings.
Impressed, Dyer gave him an
other starting assignment. That
was May 14 against the Pirates,
and Handsome Howie won it.
Since then he has been a main
stay in the sometimes faltering
but always tenacious Card chase
after the Dodgers.
It was in relief for Harry Bre-
cheen that Pollet won the game
yesterday. Victory came for the
Cards in the 10th inning on Al
Schoendienst's single, Marty
Marion's single and Stan Mu-
sial's force-out.
There were no other games

Marse Joe Says BoSox See Flag
New York, July 6 (UP.) Every
body was counting the Boston
Red Sox out of the American
league pennant race today
everybody but the Red Sox and
Manager Joe McCarthy.
Never a great man with the
glad hand, Marse Joe was stir
prisingly affable and optimistic
as the second half of the flag
chase got under way. That's
surprising when you consider
that the fabled July 4 deadline
found the garterless Sox droop
ing 12 games off the Yankee
pace, a new low for McCarthy's
two-year tenure at the Boston
helm.
"We aren't happy about how
we've been going but when
you're losing you get bad breaks
and a winner gets them," Joe
said. "They'll even up."
Take It from McCarthy, the
Red Sox cause isn't as hopeless
as it looks.

and you II understand." he ex-

Battling Indian
Ousted for Tiff
With WIL Umpire
Tacoma, Wash., July 6 U.R)
Jack Calvey, Spokane Indian
shortstop, has been suspended
for the rest of the season,
Western International League
President Robert Abel said
here today.
Abel said the suspension
was the result of an argument
in Wenatchee last Saturday
night In which Umpire Max
Skulik was reportedly rough
ed up. Skulik forfeited the
game, which was tied 8-ail, to
Wenatchee. Calvey was one of
six Spokane players kicked
out of the game.
Abel returned here yester
day after making a trip to
Wenatchee to Investigate the
incident.
Five Home Tilts
Listed for Viks
In 1949 Gridiron
The 1949 football schedule for
Salem high's Vikings, which
lists five home games, was re
leased Wednesday by Vernon
Gilmore, athletic director.
The first game will be played
against Vancouver on the Wash
ington state team's home field
on Sept. 16. The home debut of
Coach Loren Mort's squad will
be made the following Friday
nignt, sept. 23, when the Kla
math Falls squad invades the
local grid.
October 1 and 7 are also list
ed as home dates with Albany
and Bend respectively. Both of
those contests are Big Six lea
gue affairs. On Oct. 14, the Viks
travel to Springfield for their
third Big Six game.
Hillsboro and Corvallis follow
on successive Fridays on the
Viking home field with the fi
nal games of the season, Nov.' 4
and 11 to be played in Astoria
and Eugene.

plained. "We are playing close
to .500 ball and a team won't
have to do much better to be
in there."
Actually Joe has a good point.
On Independence day, the Red
Sox were only one game off
their 1948 July pace. At that
time there were "only" eight
games back of the leading In
dians. But the Yanks this year
were setting a much hotter pace,
playing .658 ball compared with
Cleveland's leading .631 aver
age at the same period last year.
So it evolves into a question
of whether the Red Hot Yankees
will taper off and came back to
the pack. Marse Joe seems to
believe that they will.
"There's still a long way to
go, he mused.
Maybe McCarthy is just whis
tling past a graveyard, trying
to preserve appearances in the
face of disaster. But baseball
men always point to those "mir
acle" Braves of 1914. They were
15 games back, in last place, on
July 4 and won by 10 Vi games.
Being Irish, Joe probably be
lieves in leprechauns, miracles
and such. He certainly gives
that appearance.

Aurora Lloyd Mendenhall

Stars Hold Mid-Season
Lead for PCL Pennant
San Francisco, July 6 (U.H) If mid-season outlooks mean any
thing then Manager Fred Haney of the Pacific Coast league's
front-running Hollywood Stars is going to capture his first
pennant.
Haney, who was quite a glove man himself (he played pro ball
for 21 years), took over tne
Stars this season after rather
fruitless years with the ill-fated
St. Louis Browns of the Ameri
can league and Toledo in the
American association. His best
effort was in 1937 when he pi
loted the latter into a second
place berth.
Today, after dropping a 5-4
series to the invading Oakland
Acorns last week, his Stars are
still going strong and pulling
away from the rest of the Paci
fic pack. The Stars even man
aged to gain a game last week
while losing a series.
This came about as San Diego
was unceremoniously dumping
the currently second best club
in the league, the Seattle Rain
iers, six games to three. '
Seattle will make another at
tempt to close the widening
breach between first and second
place when they entertain Sac
ramento tonight. The Sacs split
a series 5-5 with the Portland
Beavers who seem to have
found themselves playing base
ball after an early season make
believe start.
The Padres move into Port
land tonight with a one-game
hold on third place and two
games out of second. Oakland,
the fourth place nine, will en
tertain the cellar-bound Los An
geles Angels, who move across
the bay after breaking ahead of
Lefty O'Doul's listless Seals 5-4
in their recent series.
' The O'Douligans, still fighting
desperately to keep out a gutter
drain which Lefty hasn't seen or
been near since he took over the
Seals many a year ago, journey
to Hollywood to co-star with
the Twinks. What kind of role
they're going to get remains to
be seen if it isn't the lead, it's
almost a conceded cinch there
will be a new face in the cellar
come next week.
Kansas lies in the exact geo
graphical center of the United
States.
