Time trials get underway at
7:30, with the first race, the
helmet dash, scheduled for an

Numerous midget races have
been held on the quarter-mile
oval but Saturday will mark the
first invasion of the popular
"hot rods."

Curfew Halts Nat Crucial
In 3-all Tie; Yanks Gain
(By United Fresal
After nearly three hours of
frenzied battling loaded with
melodrama that lasted Into the
early morning hours, the Cards
and Dodgers were exactly where
they started today as they met
again in their crucial series at
St. Louis.
The opener of the three-game
series wound up in a 3-3 tie last
night as league rules rung down
a curfew after nine innings df
play. The time was then 1:08
a.m. (CDT).
So, with that game to be re
played at some future date,
the two bitter rivals square off
against each other tonight for
the second game. The Cards,
who are defending a game-and-a-half
lead, were set to
send Lefty M a x Lanier, the
ex-Mexican leaguer, to the
mound and the Dodgers were
ready tocounter with another
southpaw, Joe Ilatten.
Last night's game was an hour
Salem Group to Dicker
For Purchase of Club
William Healy, assistant secretary of state and a group
of associates are willing fo pay $60,000 cash for the
Salem Senator franchise and Waters park. While stat
ing he has not approached the management concerning
such a transaction, Healy admitted that he was willing
to talk business.
George Emigh, Salem Senator business manager, is in
Vancouver with the ball club and could not be immedi
ately reached for a statement.
Healy, before coming to Salem, was one of the owners
of the Bellingham club when that city was represented in
the Western International league. Bellingham sold its
franchise to Salem in 1938.
It is understood the Portland Baseball club, owners of
the Senators and Waters park has been asking in excess
of $100,000 for their property. Several month ago ne
gotiations involving the Salem school district and down
town business men with the Senator management broke
off because the groups involved could not get together on
a financial basis.
Bill Mulligan, business manager of ;he Portland Beav
wh.en a,sked eoncerning Healy's proposition said:
That doesn't sound like enough money. But if he is
really interested in purchasing the Salem property we
will be glad to discuss the situation. We have heard fre
quent rumors of Salem men being interested in the ball
club but so far nobody has come forth with a concrete
offer.

Ground Rules
Apparently the umpires and the managers do discuss some
thing besides the latest in jokes when they assemble at the home
plate before each baseball game. The gathering is for the alleged
purpose of going over the ground rules of the park where the
contest is to take place but frequently one suspects it is nothing
more than a formality to kill a bit of time. However, ground rules
of Victoria's Athletic park gave the A's a home run one night
and robbed Salem of another the next evening. The ball that
hit fhs, srorphnarri when Victoria was at bat. hit that obstacle in
center field and then dropped between the board and the fence.
Apparently the fence was closer to the field than the scoreboard,
thus accounting for the homer. Mel Wasley's blast resulted in the
ball being stuck in the netting good for no more than two
bases. The Victoria park resembles a shoebox in size with
home plate being located on one of the longer sides. So a hit
off the center field boards frequently is no more than a single
and a base runner has to play it tight to be on the safe side.
Al Schacht Coming
Al Schacht, nationally known clown of the diamond will
be here the night of August 3 which should assure a good
crowd. However, it's something of a left handed compliment
to the Senators when it is necessary to bring in a buffoon to
attract paying guests. Regardless of that, Schacht's perform
nii Ik nni thnt rnp over in n hisr wav. While considerable
skill is involved in his maneuvers, his production is entirely
different than the one that Johnny Price gives. Price will be
here at a later date. The famous comedian appeared at
Waters park in 1941 but he had little opportunity to show

: about quite a controversy. Howard Maple, manager of the
Senators at that time, had the foresight to secure rain in
surance but unfortunately the article that measures the pre
cipitation was located at the airport and not at the ball park.
In spite of the fact that the can was a scant mile away from
Waters field, the' guage did not show enough rainfall to en
title the management to collect on it's insurance policy.
There was no doubt that the rain washed out proceedings and
cut down attendance almost to the vanishing point. In spite of
conditions Schacht put on an act of sorts but nothing like his
customary program. Eventually the insurance company re
lented and paid a portion of the amount called for In the
policy.

and 28 minutes late in starting
because of rain. That's why it
ran afoul of the curfew rule.
For seven innings it was all
the Cardinals' game as they led,
3-0, behind the brilliant hurling
of Howie Pollet. But then the
Dodgers rallied for two runs in
the eighth, a rally choked off
when Reliefer Ted Wilks fanned
Gene Hermanski. In the ninth
the Dodgers tied it on a walk to
Roy Campanella, a single by
Marv Rackley, and a fly by Pee
wce Reese.
So there they were, right

are two games left in the se

both if they want to regain the

The Athletics won their sixth

Fitting Particular Job
The IT. s. Trnttinr association states that properly shoeing
a Standardbred horse is considerably more of a job than fitting
a Thoroughbred. The runners, as a rule, wear thin plates
which can be manufactured in wholesale quantities. The
harness horse shoe must be made to order. The shoer studies
the size and shape of the hoof of the trotter or pacer and he
rt?ust know where to add extra weight, or calks, to prevent
the harness horse from sprawling. Shoes today are being made
lighter and lighter. The old time ones worn by such great
champions as Goldsmith Maid weighed almost two pounds.
They are now down to six ounces. Rut t' ey :iU constitute in
dividual jobs, involving exacting care that the balance of
the animal may be right.

Big Pinky Woods is Holly
wood's number one stopper this
year.
The large righthander halt
ed the on-rushing Portland

decision was Wood's 16th win
of the year against seven de
feats. It was a disappoint
ment for Beaver rookie star,
Hal Saltzman, also trying for
his 16th, and some 10,926 fans
who jammed the Portland
park.
In handing Saltzman his
eighth loss, the Stars pounded
out 13 hits, three of them by
Herb Gorman.
It squared the current series
at the games apiece and moved

to Los Angels, 4-1, as Angel Cal

two clubs will finish the series
today with a split doublehcader.
The Senators, idle over Sunday,
will return to their own lot to
open against the Victoria Ath-
tournamentilc,ics the following night.
Salem's victory, coupled with
a twin loss for Bremerton at the
hands of the Wenatchee Chiefs
by identical 7-3 scores, and Vic
toria's triumph over Yakima, 5-3
resulted in a three way scram
ble for fifth place between the
Tars, the A s and the Solons
The Bluejackets have a .449 rat
ing with Salem and Victoria tied
at .448.
Cal Mclrvin and Bill Os-
born teamed up to pitch the
Senators to Friday night's win.
The left handcr went a b 1 1
more than five innings before
giving way to Bill Osborn.
However, Mclrvin was credit
ed with the win.
Manager Bill Brenner opened
with Carl Gunnarson, but Roy
Snyder took over when the Cap
southpaw ran into a peck of
trouble in the seventh. The
switch was of no avail for when
Orrin Snyder came up in the
ninth with the sacks loaded, the
Salem right fielder promptly
poked a homer over the short
right field wall. Although the
Senators were leading 7-5 at the
time, that grand slam swat real
ly proved the clincher.
After Vancouver had scor
ed single runs in the first and
second, the Senators went into
the lead when they tallied
three in the third.
Dick Sinovic's homer in the
sixth tied the two clubs at 4-all
but the deadlock was broken in
the seventh when the Senators
bunched four hits to score three.
Better than average pitching
plus extra base hitting have
been largely responsible for
Salem's two game winning
splurge. Last night Bob
Cherry, who fashioned a 3 for
5 plate performance, hit a
double while one of Mel Wes
ley's two blows went for two
sacks.

Locke, Snead Lost on Erratic Play
(AP Newafeatures Sportj Writer) .
New York If your golf game
was off over the week-end re
member the fellow who shot a
IB on one hole or the chap who
took an 18. Both happened in
the National Open.
In the 1938 Open at Cherry
Hills in Denver, Ray Ainsley
required 19 strokes before he
got down on the 16th hole dur
ing the second round of play.
Going farther back, Willie Chis
holm took an 18 on the short
17th in the 1919 Open at Brae
Burn in West Newton, Mass.
Sammy Snead also looks to
the Open when golfers talk
about poor holes.
Last of a Series
"They always say 'Snead
took an 8 at Spring Mill,"'
says Slammin' Sammy from
White Sulphur Springs, W.
Va.
It happened in the 1939
Open at the Philadelphia
Country club's Spring Mill
. course. .
"I needed a 5 to win and a
6 to finish in a three-way tie
with Byron Nelson, Craig
Wood and Denny Shute," says
Snead. "I shot an 8 on the
par 5 final hole that year and
finished fifth."
Snead also had an 8 on the
par five 18th hole at Hlllcrest
during the Los Angeles Open.
His tec shot was fine but his
second shot hit on the edge of
the green and rolled down a
slight hill about 40 yards from
the pin.
His third shot rolled up the
hill and back down. He took

and holed out for an 8.
Bobby Locke of South Africa,
considered the top foreign golf-
to play in America in the
last decade, recalls a hole he
once played like a duffer.
"It was in last year's Tarn o'
Shanter," says Locke, he of the
knickers, white shoes, white cap
and rusty 25-year-old wooden
three more shots before he got
the ball up and over. When he
made the little embankment he

shaft putter. "I needed a 4 to
tie Lloyd Mangrum, took a 6
and finished second.
"It was a par 4 hole with a
creek running through .the
fairway. My second shot hit
a tree and came back Into the
water. I picked the ball out
and was playing 4. I chipped
up and two-putted for a 6."
The poor pros. They expect
to play every shot perfectly.
When they fail they often get
as burned up as the lowly duffer.
