Yankees End Agreement
With Victoria Wl Team
Victoria, B.C., Sept. IS
(CP) New York Yankees
have terminated their work
In agreement with the Victo
ria Athletics, of the Western
International baseball league,
Business Manager Reg Fatter
son announced last night
Under this agreement the
Yankees furnished players for
the A's from other farm-teams,
with the option of selecting
any player owned by the lo
cals. They exercised this op
tion by taking Vic Ruccola,
first-baseman, who will man
age a class "D" minor league
club for them.
Yanks also have placed
price tags on Pitchers Frank
Lngue and Larry Ward. Out
fielder Charlie Balassi -and
Catcher Dick Morgan.
A's own contracts of Pitch
ers Joe Blankenship and Len
Kasparovitch and Outfielders
Jot Morjoseph and Al Drew.
They may build for next sea
son around these four players.
Locals are definitely Inter
ested In purchasing the con
tracts of Pitcher, John Mar
shal, who won Z2 games for
Bremerton this year, and Cat
cher AI Ronning, also of the
Bluejackets.
It Is unlikely Earl Bolyard,
a Yankee minor league mana
ger, will return to the A's.
Patterson favors a playing
manager.
Victoria also may train next
spring in the Osoyoos area of
British Columbia Instead of
in California,
The burbot, a fish in northern
U.S. waters which has been re
garded as a pest because it eats
game fish, have been found to
yield a liver oil richer than that
from cod fish.

Clear the Atmosphere
If nothing more comes out of the present agitation involving
the citizenry of Salem and the Portland Beaver management
than a clearing of the atmosphere, the effort will have been
worthwhile. Perhaps the parent Beavers may come to the re
alization that the capital is entitled to a bit more consideration
and a stronger club will follow. It is our opinion that the con
troversy had its inception in the belief that Portland wasn't pro
viding a first division club. Whether Business Manager Bill
Mulligan and the higher ups were doing the best they could to
secure talent might be subject for debate. It is easy for one on
the outside to criticize but once the critic Is shouldered with the
task a realization of the difficulties involved generally follows.
Drop the Subject
If the Beavers do not see fit In consider Salem's counter
proposal, then the whole subject should be dropped, for long,
drawn out negotiations will accomplish little other than to
cause any number of persons to lose Interest In the entire
affair. That a lot of folk have already cooled off on the
Idea was evidenced Tuesday night when approximately half
the number out for the first meeting took the trouble to at
tend. There is a suspicion In some quarters that Portland
had no intention of peddling Its local property and that the
announcement that it was for sale was merely a calculated
method of stimulating attendance.
Willamette university's Bear

the selection of the traveling
squad until the 60 eandidatrs
had gone through a final work
out before boarding the sleep

Captain Howie Lorenz, enter

Although John Slanchik, lanky'

given over 40.000 touchdown
tips with 80 percent accuracy,
will forecast each Friday night
at 7 o'clock over KSLM during

In addition to his predictions,
Hayes salutes a "team of the

Rocky Hits Victory Path
With Savage TKO in 10th
Attendance Drops
That Salem was fourth from the top in the matter of atten-
dance over the entire Western International league indicates
-i that the circuit is none too strong financially. And one cannot
j help but wonder what would happen if local enthusiasts should
. buy the Senator franchise only to find they had no place to go.
J No doubt the ideal situation would be to have Salem and Eu-
gene both represented In the league. And this could well happen
If the league magnates do not decide to restrict their operations
to Washington and British Columbia. Such a plan is brewing
but It may not be carried out.
t Seats Available
Spec Keene, athletic director at Oregon State, takes time
1 ont from his multitudinous duties to scotch the rumor that all
d seats for the OST -California game In Portland, October 1,
have been sold. There Is no basis In fart for such a report,
says Spec, who hastens In point nut that good seats are
available In Multnomah stadium. Nothing hits an athletie
director a more punishing blow than one that strikes him
- in the pocket book. This Is particularly true at the Beaver
Institution where a brand new $1,100,000 basketball court
Is near completion while blueprints for a football plant are
2 In the making. In any event the fan who has the funds can
buy a ticket for one of the outstanding games of the season.
Cost of an access road to a proposed stadium In the hills out
of Cnrvallis was largely responsible for the selection of a
J site Just south of the basketball court on the OSC campus
. for a stadium. With finances as they are. It Is not likely
' construction on the grid plant will he Inaugurated In the
Z near future.
; Grid Broadcasts
J The Willamette-Idaho game will go on the air out of Pullman
Saturday afternoon, but so far as we have been able to ascertain
" the play-by-play report will not be available here. Stations
J listed to carry the contest are all In Eastern Washington and
Idaho. The St. Mary s-Oregon game will go on the air at 8
5 o'clock Friday night over KGW while the OSC-UCLA contest
In Kezar stadium will hit the air lanes at 8:15 Friday evening.
2 KRUL of Corvallis and KVAN of Vancouver will be the dlstrt-
f buting points in this part of the country. KSLM will carry the
3 Washington-Utah clash at 1:45 Saturday afternoon.
fcew York, Sept. 15 W The
Rock is back on the victory road.
Not the Rocky Grasiano of old
but still the most exciting fight
er to watch in the ring today.
For nine rounds against
Charlie Fusarl in the Polo
Grounds last night, it looked
like Rock was through. He was
trailing on every scorecard and
it seemed only a tenth round
knockout could save him.
Then It happened the ex
plosive burst that the crowd of
31.092 had been waiting for all
night.
A left hook suddenly con
nected and Fusarl reeled from
mid-ring to the roprs. A right,
then another, and then a rain
of blows that draped Fusarl
over the ropes and then to the
floor for a count of nine.
Like a Tiger smelling blood
Rocky tore after Fusari. He
pinned him in a corner, held his
head in place with his left hand,
and sledgehammered him with
his right.
The crowd was on its feet,
roaring for the kill. But Ref
,eree Ruby Goldstein had seen
enough. He pulled the snarl
ing Graziano from his victim
and declared the Rock the vic
tor at 2:04 of the last round.
"He shouldn't have stopped
it," wailed Fusari. "I was wait
ing for him to slow up and
then I would have come after
him.
The 24-year-old Jerseyite,
stopped for the first time in
his career, lost nothing in de
feat.
He was outweighed 12 pounds
159 '.4 to 147 'A by one of the
fiercest punchers in the game
and except for the one mistake
was the better fighter.
The three officials all had
Fusari in front for nine rounds.
Sacred Heart to

A team that has a large per

Sourhworth Gets
Clean Bill From
Medico on Ticker
Boston, Sept. 15 Wi Examin
ation by a Columbus, Ohio,
heart specialist has resulted in
a clean bill of health for Billy
Snuthworth, absent Boston
Braves manager.
Tribal General Manager John
Quinn said yesterday Dr. R. W.
Kissane reported Sourhworth:
"Has a normal heart. There
is no organe disease.
"He does have an Irregularity
due to premature contractions.
"I am of the opinion this has
been caused by nervousness and
mental fatigue."
Southworth's departure from
his team came while the Braves

fighting to finish In the Na

were going poorly.
Hot Nat Chase Continues
Yanks Tighten Flag Hold
IB th AMUKtl.d Prrjm
The Brooklyn Dodgers must
be wondering today just what
they must do to catch the high
flying St. Louis Cardinals?
Since the first of the month,
the Brooks have piled up 11 vic
tories in 13 tries, a true cham
pionship gait.
And Just how much yardage
did they pick up on the Bed-
birds during that torrid stretch
drive? Not a foot. While the
Dodgers were polishing off Bos
ton, New York and Cincinnati,
the Cards duplicated the Dodg
ers' feat by winning 11 of their
last 13 skirmishes.
So as the two perennial ri
vals swing into the final two
weeks of the blistering Na
tional league campaign, the
Cards still cling to the game
and a half edge they held
Sept. 1.
The Dodgers drew first blood
yesterday, knocking off their fa
vorite playmates, the Cincinnati
Reds, 4 to 2, In an afternoon
tussle. That narroweJ the Cards'
edge to one game. A Sedhird de
feat meant the slimn;st of mar
gins between the two clubs a
half length.
But It was not to he. Th.
Giants proved easy prey for
the Redhlrds, bowing under a
S-3 lacing as Harry (the Cat)
Brecheen continued his night
ly prowl with a 10-hit effort.
In the American league, the
Yankees advanced a couple of
more strides toward their lflth
championship, by swooping both
ends of a double bill from the
hapless St. Louis Browns, 2-0
and 13-7. The sweep enabled
the Bronx Bombers to increase
their first place lead over Bos
ton to three full games, despite
the Red Sox' 1-0 victory over
Detroit.
