New York, Oct. l). Maybe yesterday's
Same wiu't the greatest one I ever pitched,
ut this one wi food enough lor me. I
an't think of one that came at a better time.
One of the blf reasona I did ao well, I
think, waa because my control waa ao food.
It aeemed to me that I waa able to get all
by pitches over the plate. Or at least, the
Important ones.
By best pitch was my fast ball, although
I used a curve quite often, too.
I waa most cautious with Brooklyn's left
handed hitters. That's only natural since
our ball park favors those left-handed pull
hitters. I knew that one ball in the atands
would be enough to wreck me the way
Don Newcombe was pitching. Look what
one homer did' to him.
And speaking of Tommy Henrich's ninth
Inning home run, It was simply out of this
world. When Tommy hit it, I said to myself,
"Allie, old boy. It's all over. Ton don't have
to go out there again." I ean't describe the
Joy I felt"
I understand some of the Dodger players
aid I waa weakening near the end. Well,
I certainly didn't feel that way. I felt just
aa atrong In the ninth as I did in the third.
I thought I could keep going and even if I did
get Into trouble, there waa alwaya Joe Page
in the bullpen.
Contrary to what some people thought,
I wasn't aiming at any strikeout record. I
didn't even know how many strikeouts I had.
I just waa trying to get the hitters out,
that's all.
I guess two of the biggest kicks I received
from today'a victory were those two hits I
collected. Ton know how H ta, a pitcher
always likea to get hits.
But there was one thing that bothered
me In the eighth Inning. That was when I
struck out with Gerry Coleman on second
base. Imagine that! I get two hits In one
ball game, and then when I have a chance
to get the big run In, I atruck out. But that's
the way baseball is.
Sure feel like getting another crack at
those Dodgers. But better still, I hope I
don't have to pitch again. That would mean
we'd win In four straight.
After all, I don't want to be a hog about
this thing.
Hunters Angered When
Water Supply Is Cut
m
An estimated 4,000 to S.000
deer hunters, who saw their
water supply In the Deschntes
game refuge south of Bend
vanish over night, were seek
ing to lay complaints before
state police and game com
mission members Thursday.
The hunting hopefuls who
jammed the refuge area when
It was opened for game shoot
ing this year camped along
Paulina creek, a trout-filled
stream fed by waters from
Paulina lake.
Prospects appeared excel
lent for hunting as the nlm
rods awaited the opening dead
line. But In the morning, they
rubbed their eyes In amazement-
The creek was gone.
But they weren't dreaming.
They could see the creek bed
and the dozens of trout which
had become victims of the
stream.
According to an investiga
tion reported to the Capital
Journal, the stream is fed by
waters from the lake. Its gates
were closed, killing the fish
and forcing the hunters to head
back to towns and springs for
water.
Victimised hunters said com
plaints would be made to atate
authorities.

By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
That Seattle Uproar
Coburn Grabenhorst, former University of Washington grid
der believes the difference in rule interpretations, or the com
plete lack of them, is responsible for the fuss Coach Frank
Leahy stirred up after his Notre Dame club had engaged the
Huskies in Seattle last Saturday. As a member of the Washing
ton squad, Cobe had opportunity to combat the University of
Minnesota a number of years ago in Minneapolis. "We stopped
the game three times to ask the officials if they were going to
call any, of what to us, appeared obvious rule infractions," Cobe
recalls. "All the answer we got was to 'play ball'." Loose inter
pretation makes for rougher play, contends Cobe, especially
when Coast teams engage members of the Big Ten on the
latter's gridirons.
Charges Inept
Probably when Leahy cooled off he was somewhat aorry
that he had popped off in Seattle even though he felt his
boys were being subjected to too much officiating. Some
men make better officials than others because of their
ability In the public relations department. But to accuse a
group of game officials of deliberately conspiring to do
dirt to one team Is, to say the least, a bit Inept . . . They may
not have Interpreted the rules to his liking, but most cer
tainly they were following the regulations according to their
light
Chance to Learn
And speaking of rules, next Friday morning's session of the
Salem Breakfast club will be devoted to the dissecting of a few
of the regulations that govern football. The discussions of the
men who "call 'em as they see 'em" should prove illuminating
to the average garden run of fan who no doubt becomes confused
when an official down on the field blows a whistle or drops a
handkerchief and then, after a more or less prolonged conver
sation with the captain of the team offended against, steps off
a number of yards. Some times the official's signal is recog
nized but more often his maneuvers have the appearance of a
person in the first stages of learning the deaf and dumb
language.
Mulligan Pays a Visit
Bill Mulligan in a brief impromptu talk during the weekly
KoUry luncheon program told the yarn of the three Boy
Scouts who were reporting their good deed for the day. The
yarn was tied in with the locally inspired proposal to sell the
Salem baseball club. The three kids, it seems, had taken credit
for helping an old lady across the street. "Why did it take three
of you?" they were asked. "She didn't want to go," was the
response. Mulligan, as a member of the Portland Rotary club,
took occasion to make up a missed meeting while conferring here
with George Emigh, Salem Senator front office man. He gave
no indication as to when he would confer with the Salem com
mittee and said his remarks before the Rotarians were purely
off the cuff. Later Mulligan and Emigh went to Eugene to
view the situation there.
Won't Tip His Hand
The Portland business manager feels there Is little to be
gained by threshing out the situation here In the public print.
He points out that he Is obligated to protect the Norgan
Interests and feels a responsibility to the management as
well aa the Salem public. One can scarcely blame Mulligan
for standing np for what he believes are his rights. Any
business man. If he Is worth his salt will do that very
thing. . , . L'p north Bob Brown, head man of the Vancouver
Capilanos, apparently has cleared np sonlng troubles which
grew out of the purchase of a site for a new ball park. This
is Indicated In the announcement that the Caps have been
given the go ahead signal In the construction of a new
$300,000 baseball plant. With a new field coming up next
season the Capilanos will be In a position to strengthen the
entire Western International league. I

Newcombe Says Homer
Was a Low Curve Ball
New York, Oct 6 P) Don
Newcombe Insists that wasn't a
"fat" 2-0 pitch he served up to
Tommy Henrich In the ninth in
ning of yesterday's opening
world series game.
"It was a low curve," Brook
lyn's huge Negro righthander
said in the dressing room later.
It was a good pitch. He just
hit it. that's all."
Whatever It was, Henrich
took a keen liking to the of
fering. He caught It on the
plump part of his bat and
nailed It Into the lower right
field stands.
That was the margin of the
New York Yankees' 1-0 victory
over the Dodgers in the first
game of the 46th annual fall
baseball classic.
"It was a fast ball or a slid
er," said the Yankees' old re
liable, over In the Yankees'
jitterbugging quarters.
"I watched It all the way."
Until Henrich's booming blast
that shook 66,224 enthralled pa
trons from their seats it was a
duel of pitching masters such
as few previous series afforded.
"If that one pitch had been
high Instead of low," moaned
Brooklyn's white-haired tac
tician, Burt Shotton, "we'd be
out there yet."

stood out in glistening beads on
his forehead and there was a
quizzical, almost embarrassed,
look on Tommy Henrich's face.
Shucks, he said in that
clipped tone he brought out of
Massilon, O., "that wasn't any
thing, hardly."
The thing which wasn't "any
thing, hardly," was the home
run he just had belted off burly
Don Newcombe to give the New
York Yankees the first game of
the world series, 1 to 0.
The blue-eyed Henrich is not
the shy, modest type. If any
thing, they guy the Yankees call
"old reliable" gives the impres
sion of nickel-plated cockiness.
He is a square-cut character and,
if you don't get in his way, you
won't get hurt.
Now everybody was compli
menting him on the home run
which broke up the first game.
Tommy couldn't understand all
the fuss.
Big Don Newcombe struck
out 11 men in the game but
Tommy wasn't one of thpm. Not
the first time, when Henrich
grounded out; nor the second
time, when he popped up; nor
the third when he drove a long
fly to center field.
And emphatically not the
fourth time at the plate. For that
up the ball game.
"Honest," Tommy said, "I
don't even know what kind of
a pitch I hit. It Just looked good
yeah, pretty good so I hit
it."
