To Near Clinch WIL Flag
. Evidently determined to sew
the bunting ap s quickly as
possible, the Yakima Bean dunk
ed the Salem Senators twice
Sunday night and will go to
the post Monday evening- with
the expectation of making it
three In a row. The Bears blank
ed the Solons 5 to 0 in Sunday
night's initial encounter and
then went on to edge the locals
4 to t in the second.
Since Salem lost the last
game of the series with Wenat
chee Saturday night, 16 to 6,
Manager Bill Beard's aggrega
tion have been able to salvage
but one out of their last five
home engagements.
Takima gained on the Van
couver Capilanos because the
later were- idle. As the situa
tion now stands, all the Bears
need to do Is win two games
r have the Caps drop a pair
to pat Takima over.
In the meanwhile the Sena
tors are faced with the prospect
of skidding clear into the base
ment, being but a game and a
half ahead of Bremerton, with
the Tacoma Tigers sandwiched
m between.
Winding up the season at
Waters park Monday night
the Senators will face the
lugging Wenatchee Chiefs up
north in a series of four be
ginning Tuesday evening and
then conclude with five
against Yakima in the Bears'
teepee. Not an encouraging
prospect to say the least.
It was Ted Savarese who ap
plied the whitewash in Sunday
night's seven inning tilt, al
though the Senators outhit the
Bears 8 to 6. Gene Peterson
worked six innings giving way
to Bill Osborn in the ninth. Ted
Jennings' home run in the sec
ond highlighted the encounter.
None of the Senators' eight blows
was good for extra bases.
The second game was a tight
affair through six innings, be
ing tied one to one at that time.
Then the anticipated Bear out
break occurred as they drove in
three runs with Bob Williams'
circuit blow being the principal
force. Jim Olson took over the
mound chores in the seventh re
lieving Johnny Burak.
The Solons staged a rally
of their own in the ninth that
fell just one run short of knot
ting the count. Bill Sweiger
who had turned the Senators
back with just one run (due
to a passed ball), got into dif
ficulty in the ninth.
With the bases loaded Swei
ger walked Wayne Peterson to
force Orrin Snyder across. That
left the sacks still populated
and in came Lloyd Dickey. Bob
Cherry, pinch hitting for Art
Pennington forced Peterson at
second as Marty Krug scored.
With Cherry on first and Bob
Drilling (running for Jim Ol
son) on third, Dick Bartle
grounded out to end the game.
Cal Mclrvin Is due to go to
the poet Monday night as Wa
ters park goes dark for the
season.
Wenatchee and Spokane, con
tinuing their scrap for third
place, split a doubleheader Sun
day. The Chiefs took the first,
t-2 and then lost the second 15
11 after scoring eight runs in
th first inning. Bremerton
dumped Tacoma twice, 5-4 and

The Stars, who do most of
their slipping during the week,
took two from the last-place Los
Angeles Angels Sunday. In the
opener, the Stars won 7 to 4
when Jim Baxes smacked his
22nd homer to start off a three-
run ninth inning. In the seven
inning nightcap, Willie Rams
dell knuckleballed a two hit
shutout 4 to 0.
There was not a split bill in
the loop Sunday. Oakland ral
lied twice in the ninth to take
two from San Francisco. The
Seals had a 2 to 1 lead in the
ninth in the morning opener but
the Oaks scored four in their
half to win 5 to 2. San Fran
cisco led S to 1 in the second
game going into the ninth. Earl
Rapp singled in two runs, Jackie
Jensen flied in the tying run plus
three more singles and the game
ended 7 to 5.
Sacramento, in third place a
half-game behind Oakland,
beat Portland 3 to 2 and 6 to
4. Jim Tabor's 11th homer in
the sixth frame of the opener
won that one. In the nightcap,
Tabor batted in two runs,
scored two more and started

Square All-Star
Series by 19 to 0
Portland, Ore., Aug. 29 U.R
The annual Shrine hospital bene
fits football series between Port
land high school all-stars and
their upstate rivals was all
square today.
The Portlanders evened the
count in the second game here
Saturday, drubbing the upstaters
19 to 0. In the initial game last
year the upstate eleven laced
the Portland aggregation 35 to
13.
A Portland back, Don Sloan,
who graduated from Washington
high school last June, was named
the "most valuable" player. He
reeled off a 58-yard gallop in
the second quarter to touch off
the "home team's" scoring fuse.
The Portland eleven tallied
again in the third quarter af
ter a 33-yard pass play had put
the ball on the upstaters' one
yard line. Bob Hamblin bucked
the ball across and Steve Cro-
ley's kick was good.
The third and final touch
down came in the last quarter.
Portland uncorked a sustained
drive of 40 yards which was
climaxed as Clarence Schmer
romped across from a yard out.

Peine "temporarily" assigned to

jured his shoulder in the second
game diving for the bag. He
may be back in action tomorrow.
Yet with those two stalwarts
out of action, the Yanks went on
to sweep the 'header from the
White Sox, 8 to 7 and 7 to 5.
Since the Boston Red Sox lost to
Cleveland, 2 to 1. at the same
time, that made the Yankee lead
three games over the Sox.
It was Joe DiMaggio who
sparked the twin wins. Suf
fering from an ailing shoulder
himself, DIMag said that he
only wanted to play a couple
of innings. But when Henrich
was hurt in the second inning
of the opener, Joe decided to
stick it out and It's a good
thing he did.
His 12th homer of the sea
son with one man on started
the six-run ninth inning rally
which brought the Yanks from
behind to win the opener. He
tingled and tripled to knock in

third and the fourth gave the
Detroit Tigers their seventh win
in a row, a 6 to 4 contest over
