Senators Lose, 14- 9
The Bremerton Bluejackets
got but one more blow than the
Salem Senators as the two squads
opened firing Tuesday night in
connection with a three game
series, but the potency of the
visiting Tars hitting was con
siderably more in evidence. They
got 14 runs out of their 17 blows
while the best the Solons could
manage was a total of nine tal
lies out of 16 hits.
Two successive home runs by
Walt Pocekay plus a third by
powerful Bill Taylor were good
for five tallies in the first and

Donald Campbell, son of the late

today in an attempt to break the
water speed record held by his
father. Young Campbell wreck

average of 132.35, only 6.4 miles

third frames. Marty Krug poked
a four base blast over the right
field barrier to account for three
of the Senators' scores as the So
Ions staged an uprising of their
own in the last inning.
The Tars set the pattern ear
ly as they teed off on Johnny
Burak, Salem's rookie mounds
man for three hits and as many
runs in the initial frame. He re
tired them in order in the second
only to have them renew their
assault in the third as they drove
in five additional tallies. Gene
Peterson shouldered the pitching
chores late in the third and held
Manager Alan Strange's outfit
to a single run until the ninth
when five successive singles
drove him to the showers. Jim
my Foster completed the mound
assignment for the night.
Vern Kohout went the route
for the Tars principally because
his mates gave him the largest
sort of a cushion to work on ear
ly in the contest. He was vul
nerable much of the time but
that 8 to 1 bulge at the end of
the first three frames gave him
plenty of coasting space.
Marty Krug fashioned the
most impressive hitting mark in
sofar as the Solons were con
cerned as he came through with
a four for five performance, driv
ing in three runs. As for the
Tars, every member of the club
got at least one base blow while
Taylor and Al Ronning each ac
counted for three..

Crack Records
Los Angeles, Aug. 17 VP)
Tm, K's true what they say
about the Japanese swimmers.
The sons of Nippon returned
to International competition with
terrific splansh as Hironoshin
Furuhashi, the Japanese ditsance
champion, and his teammate,
Shlro Nashizume, both lowered
the world's record for the 1500
meter free style yesterday.
The first day crowd at the
national AAU men's swimming
and diving championships gasp
ed as lanky Hashizume won the
first heat of the 1500 preiimm
aries in 18:35.7. That was well
under the 1938 world record of
18:58.8 by Japan's Tomikatsu
Amano,
Then along Came stocky Furu
hashi. Flailing smoothly a non
stop churn, the "flying fish of
Fujiyama" reeled off the 30
laps in 18:19, roughly equiva
lent to the dreamed-of four-min
ute mile in track.
Then 19-year-old Sumio Ta
naka, "baby" of the six-man
Japanese squad, took the third
heat in 19:19.3.
Off that, tonight's 1500-meter
final figures to be I 1-2-3 Nip
sweep. The next best time was
20:13.6 by Canada's Burwell
Jones, who finished second to
Tanaka.

Loop Nears End
Lebanon, Aug. 17 (Special)
Dale Neilson, president of the!
city Softball league, said yes
terday that a single elimination
game will be used to determine
the champion of the Lebanon
league should Cascade Plywood
and Santiam Sporting Goods
end their regular season's play
in a tie. The game would be
played this Friday night as the
second game of a double-header.
A possible chance exists that
Santiam Lumber company may
make it a three team deadlock
for first place. If Santiam Lum
ber defeats the sporting goods
team in their game Monday
night, and if Cascade Plywood
should drop either of their two
games, against Gilbert Loggers
on Monday or Western Veneer
on Wednesday, the three teams
would be deadlocked.
Provided the two current lead
ers complete their season with
out additional losses, the Friday
game will decide who meets Al
bany next week in the district
Softball playoffs to determine
winner to represent this area
in the state tournament.
Currently the district play
offs are billed next Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. The first
game- will be played either at
Albany or Lebanon, and the
second game in the other city.
Location of a third game, if it
is needed, will be decided later.

Portland, Aug. 17 Wr) Coach
Mel Ingram of the upstate all
star football squad expressed
pleasure today over the way his
charges are shaping up for the
second annual Shrine hospital
game against Portland all-stars
Aug. 27.
The performance of Phil Gil-
lis, 200-pound Bend fullback,
yesterday showed that the up
staters will have at least one
hard-crashing back. Ingram said
he fit perfectly into the T-forma-
Uon plays.
The standout halfback has
been Don Donovan of the state
champion Grants Pass high
school team.
Getting approving nods for
their work yesterday were
pair of linemen, Tackle Doug
Hogland of Bend and End Jack
Lust of Klamath Falls.
While the upstaters went
through running plays yester
day, Portland Coach Eric Wal
dorf sent his squad through
series of pass formations with
Norm Fenton of Cleveland and
Clarence Schmer of Jefferson
tossing the ball.

The delayed action victory was
turned in when the Solons found
the range and accounted for five
singles.

New York, Aug. 17 U.R ,
Cleveland's faith in an old timer
gave the tribesmen new hope
today in their quest for the
American league pennant.
Big Al Benton seemed through
a pitcher this time last sea
son and, after seven years, with
Detroit, the Tigers gave up and
turned him loose. Benton land
ed a lob in the Pacific coast
league but that, as he put it,
"was just a cup of coffee which
whetted my appetite for more
of the big leagues.
He asked for another chance,
and Cleveland gave it to him
early this year. He was given
to understand that it was strict
ly on a trial basis and that he'd
do his trying as a relief pitcher.
Benton did okeh as a reliefer
he was no Joe Page, to be
sure, but he saved a few tough
ones and Manager Lou Bou
dreau decided to try affable Al
as a starter. Twice he went the
distance for victories and Bou
dreau showed added interest.
