Shrine All-Stars
Enter Final Week
Of Grid Practice
Portland, Aug. 23 W) Port
land and upstate all-star football
quads concentrated on defense
as they opened the final week of
drills yesterday for Saturday
night's game in Multnomah sta
dium. The upstaters concentrated on
pass defense aimed at stopping
the expected aerial attack of
Coach Eric Waldorf's metropoli
tan players. Portlanders, on the
other hand, gave their attention
to stopping line plays, keeping
In mind that in Don Donovan
of Grants Pass, Rich Riggs of
Medford and Phil Gillis of Bend
the upstaters have a trio of
speedsters likely to account for
big yardage.
James J. Richardson, director
of the Shrine hospital benefit
game, reported that 250 tickets
to the banquet following the
game will be available to the
public. At the banquet awards
will be made. The highlight will
be . the most valuable player
award, won last year by Sam
Baker of Corvallis.
All Invited to
'Town Meeting'
Wednesday Night
A blanket invitation has been
extended the general public to
attend Wednesday night's meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce
when sentiment concerning the
purchase of the Salem Senators
baseball franchise and Waters
park will be up for considera
tion. The conference will open
at 7:30 and no solicitation of
funds will be made.
If a sufficient number of in
terested persons attend, it is
probable a committee will be
named to talk to Bill Mulligan,
business manager of the Port
land Beavers. Mulligan will be
asked to put a price tag on the
property and if it is not consid
ered too high, a movement look
ing toward the purchase on a
popular basis will be initiated.

the knotting run stranded at
first.
The Senators scored a run in
the first by virtue of singles by
Wayne Peterson and Marty
K.rug and the play at first on
Dick Bartle's grounder. The In
dians immediately went into the
lead after two were out in the
second as Paul Zaby singled and
was driven home by Larry Bar
ton s 400 foot homer over the
right center boards.
It stood 2 to 1 until the fourth
when Jack Calvey was credited
with a single when his liner hit
itt front of Bob Cherry and then
bounced over him for a triple.
Calvey later stole home.
Art Pennington, who collect
ed on a three for four basis,
drove Bill Burgher home In the
fifth and the Solons tied It np at

Snyder reached first oh a field

Pennington came through with
his third hit of the evening, mov
ing Snyder to third. Bob Drill
ing bunted and Larry Barton
elected to make a try at the
plate but Snyder slid under the
throw as Pennington moved to
second. Wayne Peterson scored
Pennington with a blow through
the mound but Peterson was
forced at, second by Krug as

Dick Bartle up, Krug stole sec
ond and when Ken Richardson

Artie Wilson
Leads PCL Race
San Francisco, Aug. 23 (U.R)
Artie Wilson, the Oakland
shortstop, apparently has the
Pacific coast league batting
championship for 1949 tucked
away but a pair of compara
tive newcomers are making
things tough.
Wilson has a batting average
of .359 to top the loop regulars.
Ahead of him in the standings
is teammate Earl Rapp, the out
fielder down from the majors,
who appeared in only 63 games.
He has a mark of .366. Al Rosen
of San Diego, down from Cleve
land, has appeared in only 50
games, and is next closest to
Wilson with a mark of .343.
Max West leads the loop in
homers with 40; and runs bat
ted in with 141. Al White of
Sacramento, with a batting aver
age of .341, has the most hits-
207.
Big John Mize
Leaves Giants,
Joins Yankees
New York,' Aug. 23 ()- The
New York Yankees hauled in
another piece of heavy artillery
today for their American league
pennant push the Giants' home
run specialist, big John Mize.
1
In a sudden and surprising
move, the Yankees bought the
36-year-old first baseman from
their National League neieh-
bors for an undisclosed sum and
told him to get in uniform right
away.
The deal exploded with such
unexpectedness that Mize had to
rush to catch a midnight train
for Detroit, where the Yankees
open a two-game series today.
"We've sold Johnny Miie
to the Yankees for an undis
closed sum," said Eddie Bran
nick, secretary of the Giants.
"Me was waived out of the
National league. He joins the
club immediately;"
The Giants were suDDose'd in
nave put a s 200,000 price tag on
the florid faced first-sacker
when Brooklyn expressed an in
terest in him in the spring.
Mize, who has hit more hom
s than any active player in
Syracuse switches to the T
formation this fall under Coach
Floyd Schwartzwalder. Bernie
Custis will do the quarterback-
ing and, of course, the passing.

By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
Attendance Down
With but a half dozen sessions remaining, it will be a miracle
if the Salem Senators attract a sufficient number of fans during
the balance of the season to equal last year's mark of 77,659. At
the close of Sunday night's doubleheader with the Tacoma
Tigers' Manager George Emigh had passed 61,117 cash customers
through the turnstiles. In view of the fact that it is estimated
that it takes 90,000 to keep the books in balance, it doesn't take
much mathematical ability to reach the conclusion that the Salem
management will not be called upon to cut any dividend melons.
However the parent Portland Beavers can readily absorb the loss
here by writing it off against the Vaughn Street income which
should be quite a sizeable hunk of change.
Johnny Price Due
One bright spot in the otherwise somewhat gloomy picture
is the fact that Johnny Price, an exceedingly cunning fellow
with a baseball, will show his tricks at Waters park the night
of August 26 between games of the doubleheader with Wen
atchee. Last year Price attracted 4183 persons, the largest
audience of the season. He may not equal that mark this time
even though his performance is far ahead of anything ever
produced by a man with a ball and a bat. The six final pro
grams at the park drew a total of 8,528 persons last year.
So, even though the attendance during the closing nights
equals that of last season there will still be a shortage.
Oh! For A Winner
What a difference it would make if the Senators were up near
the top battling for the pennant .instead of trvine to reach.and
maintain the upper rung of the second divisionl 'Tis said that heme
springs eternal and in this connection we have returned to thel
park each spring hopeful that "this is the year." But is has al
ways been the same dreary ending sitting through series after
series with no prospect of a pennant. The average baseball bug
demands a winner. He may overlook a loss now and then if the
performance is good even though he doesn't enjoy it. But this
thing of always ending up in the second division or low in the
first is bound to keep him away for a period at least.
Bartle Improved

Donate the Park
One way out of the cross-purpose situation that has de
veloped in local professional baseball circles would be for
the citizenry to subscribe the money necessary to purchase
Waters park and then deed it to the city. Just an outright
gift. Then let a group of individuals purchase the Senator
franchise and operate the club as a private enterprise. We
admit it would be quite an undertaking to raise the necessary
cash in view of what happened to the hospital fund raising
campaign. But in view of the fact that but a small percentage
of the residents attend athletic events of all classifications in
these parts, any effort to purchase the property from tax funds
would be met with stiff resistence. The school board could
use the park but the district's funds are ear marked for
scholastic purposes.
