Win Tilts; Bevos Lose
(Br the AMOclAtMl Prau)
Hollywood Is still three games ahead in the Pacific Coast
league because of Pinky Woods arm and his bat. He notched
his 18th win of the year Wednesday night when he held the
lowly Los Angeles Angels to seven hits in winning 8 to 4.
He started off a little wild but made up for it by slamming a
three run homer in the second.
The Stars needed a four run
ninth inning rally, though, to
win.
Oakland and S a c r a m ento
both of them breathing hotly on
the Stars' back, won their
games. Ken Holcombe won his
18th game in pitching the Sc
ions to a 4 to 8 win over Fort-
land.
Oakland doused a ninth in
ning rally by San Francisco to
beat, the Seals 6 to 2, Qakland
and Sacramento are tied for sec
ond place,
San Diego mads It two
straight over Seattle in trim-
mlng the Rainlers 7 to 2. The
win put the Padres into fourth
place, a game ahead of Seattle.
The Padres took a three run
lead In the first and coasted the
rest of the way. Mickey Grasso,
Seattle catcher, got banished for
protesting too long on a plate
decision. It was his 11th exile of
the season,

Bill Mulligan
Beaver Stadium
Portland, Ore.
(A report of proceedings at
a meeting of Salem baseball
fans at the Chamber of Com
merce Wednesday night is re
lated here In the form of an
open letter to Bill Mulligan,
general manager of the Fort
land Beavers).
. Dear Mr. Mulligan: .
Whether you Jike Is or not,
we are coming to Portland to
see you and lay our cards on
the table. We realize you may
have an ace up your sleeve. And
if you're bluffing about wanting
to sell the Senators, we're ready
to call your bluff.
We had a meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce hall down
here Wednesday night, Bill, and
frankly, you aren't very well
liked by the some 25 local fans
who stood up and spoke their
piece.
None of us appreciate the way
you're running the Salem team
any more than you like the way
we are not supporting it at the
gate.
We'd like to buy your ball
club, Bill. We are just Inde
pendent enough to think that we
can make a bigger success of it
in both league play and finan
cially than you and your
brother Beaver brasses are do
ing.
We were very enthusiastic in
our Wednesday night meeting.
There were over 400 of us there,
and every one of us is a poten
tial future stockholder of the
Salem Senators.
A committee of five was ap
pointed to meet with you and
thresh things out. But there'll be
a lot more than just those five
who'll be coming up to see you.
Many of us are going to visit
you, Bill, and you might as well
welcome us in your office, for
we're going to come in anyway
and get this thing straightened
out.
And if the future home-owned
Salem Senators are as enthus
iastic and as hard-hitting as the
remarks made by some of us
Wednesday, they'll whale the
daylights out of anything the
rest of the Western International
league can offer. And that goes
for your Beavers, too.
Be seeing you soon,
The Salem Fans

Eyes on OSC
When Lon Stiner came up with his surprise announcement
last winter that he was quitting the Oregon State campus, the
result was a clean sweep in the coaching department in football.
Consequently all eyes will be turned toward LaVerne "Kip"
Taylor and his corps of assistants when the Beavers open the 1949
grid campaign the night of September 17. The game, since it is
with the UCLA Bruins at Los Angeles will constitute a real in
itiation to Pacific Coast football for the newcomer from Michi
gan. Taylor selected two brothers and a former Beaver gridder
as his principal associates. Chalmers "Bump" Elliott, a brilliant
backfield performer at the University of Michigan, and Pete
Elliott, an all-American quarterback at Michigan last fall will
handle the backs and ends, respectively. Leonard Younce, an all
coast guard during his junior and senior years at the Beaver in
stitution and for a half dozen years a member of the New York
Giants in the play for money division of the game, will direct the
linemen. Certainly the staff appears strong but the chore of im
planting the Michigan type of single wing offense is one that
will not be accomplished in a single season.
New Uniforms
Not only will Oregon State present a brand new coaching
staff but the new deal will extend into the equipment depart
ment. For home games the Beavers will wear black jerseys
with orange numerals and orange sleeve bands. Road
jerseys will be white with black numerals and orange and
black trimming. The squad will wear new plastic orange
helmets and white nylon pants for all games. Interest in the
schedule of 10 games is on the upgrade. So much so, in fact
that Assistant Athletic Director Lorls Baker believes that the
two tilts booked for Multnomah stadium in Portland will be
sellouts. The first, October 1, will bring the California Bears
north, while the second, scheduled for November 12, features
Michigan State for the second successive year. ,
Handy Volume Coming
It's been a long job, requiring the cooperation of hundreds of
sports writers over the country, but Christy Walsh's forthcoming
College Football" should prove to be the last word in the grid
iron sport. The volume of some 800 pages will contain informa
tion concerning the sport from its very beginning down through
the contests of last fall. Nearly 200 colleges are to be listed, along
with the number of games each has played from the first season.
The number of lettermen and the number of All American play
ers for various colleges are also listed.
No Witch Hunting
One of the things that stood out during Wednesday night's
meeting of baseball fans was the fact that there was no
violent outbursts against any particular individual. Nobody
was set up as a whipping post and there was no witch
hunting. There were sharp and pointed remarks as could
be expected from a mixed group but for the most part the
affair was along orderly lines, indicating that those in at
tendance really wanted professional baseball in Salem.
Whether the group will purchase stock in the new enter
prise if it is undertaken remains to be seen. At any rate
the machinery has been set in motion and the first de
velopment will be the meeting between the committee of
representative men and Bill Mulligan, of the Portland
Beavers.
