Chiefs
Loop Leading
Yakima Opens
Here Sunday
A five and a half hour pro
gram that didn't end until early
Saturday morning, proved satis
factory to the 3290 paying guesti
within the confines of Waters
park, insofar as Johnny Price's
part of the performance was con
cerned, but the double win of the
Wenatchee Chiefs over the Sa
lem Senators was not so thor
oughly enjoyed. Both- games
were lost by one run margins
6-5 and 7-6.
' The result gave the Chiefs a
slim toehold on third place after
leapfrogging a half game ahead
of the Spokane Indians. The
double loss enlarged the gap be
tween the sixth place Senators
and the fifth position Victoria
Athletics to a game and a half.
The two clubs will close out
their final series of the season
here at 8 o'clock Saturday night.
The Solons will remain at the
home lot for a twin bill with the
rYakima Bears Sunday evening at
v 8 and a single tilt Monday night
at 8.
: Stu Fredericks had Friday
night's initial contest charged
against his record and Bill Os
born lost the second. Neither
one was around lor the finish.
Fredericks gave way to Jim Ol
son who came in for Fredericks
when the latter was yanked in
the fifth.
i:The somewhat elderly Vern
Johnson, Wenatchee stockholder,
notched his first win of the sea
sdn as Manager Charlie Peterson
endeavored to save his top
chuckers for the Shaughnessy
playoffs. Johnson was relieved
in the sixth by Lou McCollum.
Cy Greenlaw went the full nine
innings in the nightcap principal
ly because his mates rallied in
the fifth to break a 3 to 3 dead
lock. Greenlaw, a bit unsteady
at times, walked nine batters,
but tightened up when neces
sary. Fifteen Solons were left
stranded as a result of this strat
egy. ..'After getting away to a S to
6 lead that stood up through four
frames of the, first game, the
Chiefs went on the warpath in
the fifth to rack up six runs.
Three doubles, two singles, a
walk and a wild pitch turned
the trick.
Trailing 7 to 3, the Senators
got back in the ball game in the
eighth as the result of two hits
and an error. .The combination
was good for two runs and three
rten on base. They all remained
there as Mel Wasley hit a long
fly to Hal Rhyne in right field
to end the rally. Then in the
ninth the Solons cut loose with
another brace of hits and had the
bases bulging when Dick Bartle
grounded out to close out the
night's performance.
' Price, who has added a few
variations to his skillful enter
tainment, gave a pleasing exhi
bition. Mel Wasley hit his 22nd home
run of the season in the first
game with nobody aboard and
Nick Pesut clouted one in the
nightcap with one on.
:In other games Victoria beat
Vancouver, 6-4, and the reviving
Tacoma Tigers, made it three in
a row over the trailing Brem
erton Tars, 8-2.

SCHEDULE FAVOfUTES
Them that has, gets, money attracts money or similar words
to that effect sums up the situation In connection with the
Pacific Coast Conference football schedule. For instance, there
is Stanford with a list of 10 games, all but two of which will
be played at Palo Alto. A sweet set up for the Indians it there
ever was one. The U.S.C. Trojans have been equally favored in
being able to play all but two of their games on the home lot.
California, the third of the quartet of Golden State aggregations
makes four trips away from home as they work through a 10
came schedule. By way of contrast there are Oregon and Oregon
State. The Webfoots have three
annual dual with the Beavers. The Staters will show just twice
on Bell field but will play two in Multnomah stadium where
there is more money to be made. Oregon will meet Washington
in Portland. As for Washington, the Huskies have a schedule
that calls for five Seattle contests.
MONEY TALKS
There is little the northern clubs can do about a schedule
of this sort for the population, the stadiums and the money
are . pretty much centered in California. Eventually, and
we hope it is not far distant, Oregon and O.S.C. will have
greatly enlarged plants. Then they will be armed with
something of a solid nature when they meet with the Cali
fornians for a dickering match each winter. There's no deny
ing that games with Stanford, U.C.L.A., and U.S.C. and
California provide the northerners with the cash to meet
their expenses. That being the case it is only natural that
the schedu'os are fashioned accordingly. One Seattle game
that will doubtless draw heavy attendance from this sec
tion if tickets are available is the Washington -Notre Dame
clash set for October 1. The "Fighting Irish" have made
numerous trips to Southern California but their appearances
in the northwest have been far from frequent.
EUGENE BASEBALL

ier uuaiu xiign uimoer' column, "inis" & I rile continues, "was

of the Salem Senators and vice president of the Western Inter

Wash, franchise In the WIL, a modern concrete and frame base

IDEAL SETUP
Since Eugene and Salem have been rivals down through
the years In numerons activities and are now engaged in a
bit of jousting concerning their respective populations, there
is little doubt but that the Western International would be
strengthened by including both cities. Such a situation would
permit the Washington and British Columbia clubs to play

situation may not be clarified until October when league
magnates meet to investigate all. angles to the picture.

Committee Will
Meet Mulligan
With their program pretty
well mapped and with a general
idea as to worth of the property
involved, the committee headed
by Harry V. Collins, named
during a recent mass meeting to
negotiate for the purchase of
Waters field and the Salem base
ball franchise, will wait on Bill
Mulligan at his Portland office
next week. Arrangements for
the conference were completed
Saturday afternoon during a
meeting held in Collins' office.
It is expected negotiations will
be carried on in a business like
manner rather than one of re
crimination and fault finding
Whether fund raising cam
paign will be engaged in here to
raise money with which to pur
chase the baseball property, de
pends upon the price Mulligan
sets on the plant.
Daughter to Petersons
A daughter was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Bud Peterson in a
Portland hospital Thursday fore
noon. Peterson, regular short
stop on the Senator ball club,
has been out of the lineup for
several days due to a leg in
jury. It is doubtful if he will
play again during the balance
of the season.

race last night.
Trailing 3-7 going into the last
of the ninth, the seals erupted
for five runs, Jackie Tobin sup
plying a tripple with bases load

home on Dario Lodigiani's fly

went the route for his 16th win.
Hollywood was spilled by Los
Angeles, 8-5, for the third time
In four nights. A five-run bar
rage against Jack aalveson In
the fifth sewed it up. Bry
an Stephens was the winner. The
stars' margin remained two
games over the second-place
Oaks.
Third-place Sacramento also
obliged by bowing to Portland,
5-3, staying three games off the
pace. Hal Saltzman racked up
his 18th victory with a six hit
ter. On Allie Clark's homerun, San
Diego edged Seattle 1-0 in their
battle for fourth position. Red
Adams' three hitter was too
much for the Rainiers. Rugger
Ardizoia gave up five.

Shrine Teams
Set for Battle
Portland, Aug. 27 W Up
state high school all-stars will
attempt tonight to score their
second straight victory over

The contest, between teams
of players who were graduated

wards of 20,000 is expected.
The up-state team, which won

Ashore an hour later she
smiled and said "I am going to
try it again."

Unknown Wins
Trapshoot Event
Vandalia, O., Aug. 27 M)
Those "unknowns from no
where" still are winning the
Grand American Handicap Trap
shoot championship.
Pete Donat, 31-year-old farm
er with a ready smile from Ant
werp, Ohio, is the latest in the
50-year string.
Pete, black-haired and six feet
two, borrowed his father-in-law's
hunting gun yesterday, loaded
his blonde wife Eileen and the
two kids Into the car and drove
down to the big shoot.
He fired 125 shots in the Gold
en Grand American, loaded the
wife and kids in the car and
drove back home with the cham
pionship, a high set of silver
ware, and cash in the neighbor
hood of $7500 which isn't a bad
neighborhood.
Pete's wife was the only one
who wasn't surprised as Pete
broke 100 straight from 20 yards
to tie Ivo William Sonderman of
Lima, Ohio, and then cracked 23
in the shootoff while the Lima
mechanic was getting 21.
"Pete said he was going to win
it," Mrs. Donat said, "and so he
went ahead and did it."
