Sale, Franchise Transfer and
Eugene Problems Are Studied
The management of the Salem Senators baseball organ
ization was reported Tuesday to be "flirting with the idea"
of transferring the Salem franchise to another city in an
effort to push its operations into black figures.
Transfer of the franchise, however, was only one of the
problems which has been stud-1
ied by Senator Business Mana
ger George Emigh and Port
land's General Manager Bill
Mulligan
The future of the Salem
club apparently came to- a
head as a result of recent
showings at the gate when at
tendance was below half of
what is estimated as necessary
to show a profit.
For several weeks, prelimin
ary negotiations have been un
der way for the purchase of the
club by a Salem group, but the
offered price has been less than
half the $125,000 price tag plac
ed on the Senators by the Port-land-Salem
management.
The Salem group is still re
ported to be "interested," but
Emigh flatly stated that no
deal could be made for the of
fers which have been forth
coming. The possibility of transfer of
the franchise hinges on the out
come of a deal reported in prog
ress to shift the Wenatchee team
to the Tri-City area of Washing
ton. Although the Wenatchee
club has found no lush market
for its talents on its home field,
Emigh pointed out that support
from fans there had been better
Ihan the Senators received in
Salem. The population of Wen
atchee is a third that of Salem.
Another site picked for a pos
sible location of the Salein
franchise has been Eugene, but
the long trip for the Washing
ton and Canadian teams to Sa
'em has been a thorny spot in
eague onerations.
The idea of a team in Eu
gene is also one of the ideas
which was disclosed to have
been under consideration by
E '.Ii and Mulligan as well
as league officials, Eugene has
given excellent support to
semi-pro baseball, and the
prospects for attendance at
professional games there looks
By tile Asocial--" P:e..
e,.....s,.lc.,
St. Louis Cardinals' "ball play-,
er's ball player," is a living proof
that baseball experts are a funny
race.
In pre-season polls, the major
ity of scribes ignored St. Louis
as a pennant threat because the
Cards "were too old." Thus,
without saying so, they pointed
the finger at Slaughter, who at
33, was the oldest regular on the
club.
Today, these same experts
predict that the Cards will win
the National league flag. Why?
Because of the presence of this
same Enos Slaughter.
Slaughter's current batting av
erage of .331 is exceeded only by
Jackie Robinson's .364.
Enos enjoyed one of his big
gest "days" last night when he
walloped two home runs and
drove in six runs to lead the
Cards to a 9-3 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds.
The Redbirds needed the tri
umph to maintain their first
place tie with Brooklyn, as the
Dodgers already had nipped the
New York Giants, 2-1.
Those were the only games
played in the majors.
Slaughter's one-man foray
enabled Howie Pollet to reg
ister his 15th victory although
he was touched up for a dozen
hits. The Cards could get
only five safeties off loser
Kent Peterson and three suc
cessors, but too advantage of
seven bases on balls.
Four straight walks in the
fourth forced a Cardinal run
across and left the bases loaded.
Country promptly unloaded them
with his second four-bagger of
the game and 10th of the season.
Slaughter his his first homer .in
good to the Western Inter
national League management.
But a team in Eugene would
look even better to the loop
provided Salem can be re
tained. "You can t blame the man
agement for going a little sour
on the volume of support here,"
Emigh explained, "when its
costing them $10,000 to $15,000
a year to operate.
On the financial side of the
picture, the Senators shawed
less than a $10,000 profit in
1946, and we've lost money
each season since then. At the
time the club was purchased
from Salem interests, the lea
gue franchise was worth noth
ing. It existed only on paper,
with a park lacking in Ta
coma, and no idea of how
many teams would finally
manage to get into the loop.
"Nothing definite has been
decided. It might help to move
the franchise. It probably would
help to secure a team for Eu
gene," Emigh summarized, indi
eating that steps would be taken
to meet the situation.
Frank Matoh's grounder over
second base in the la.M half of
the eleventh inning gave Vic
toria a 6-5 win over Spokane
and added new fuel to the Cana
dians' waning hopes of ending
in the Western International lea
gue's first division and end-of-the-season
playoff.
