Senators '10-7, For Burak to Take Vancouver Game on Friday By FRED ZIMMERMAN It wasn't found necessary, to scrape the frost off the green sward at Geo. E. Waters ball park Thursday night, but if pro ceedings had been extended to a much later hour it might well have happened. Temperatures eight or 10 de grees above the freezing point are not conducive to attendance at any, outdoor activity and just 324 shivering fans showed. Those who sat through the two hours and 24 minutes of com petition were awarded by seeing tile - Salem Senators triumph over the Tacoma Tigers, 10 to 7. It was the first Solon win for Manager Ad Liska. Perhaps it was the fact that Airs. Ad was a member of the skimpy audience that brought victory. If that be the case then the former Beaver sub marine chucker would do well to move his family to the capi tal posthaste. "Might as well try something tl. , , , ., ,....

(AP Wirephoto) Connie Mack Hailed as Greatest Sports Figure Philadelphia, April 21 0J.R) i Connie Mack, acclaimed at 87 as the "Greatest figure in American Sports," received accolades of the nation and the world today in the celebration of his golden anniversary as manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. The Grand Old Man of Base ball who "changed my mind about retiring" during the past few weeks, will receive a scroll bearing signatures of more than 1,000,000 persons in ceremonies before the Athletics meet the Boston Red Sox in the first home game of Mack's 50th managerial season.-' Signatures on the scroll, 3 Major Standings (By the Associated Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet.

Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler was the man who acclaimed the elderly pilot as the "Greatest figure Ameri can sports has today." Mayor Bernard Samuel pro claimed the day "Connie Mack' day in the Quaker City and hon ored "Mr. Baseball" in the cere monies at City Hall. A 25-car caravan then escorted Mack to Sjhibe park for the ball game. President Truman, in a cor dial letter addressed to "Dear Connie Mack," said: "In you, American Sports has had an exemplar whose record has been an inspira tion to our youth for a full half century. Best of all you are going strong at four score and seven, with eyes always to a hopeful future. May your shadow never grow less." The message was signed "Cor dially and sincerely, Harry S. Truman." On Display 1951 Frazer TEAGUE MOTOR CO. 355 N. Liberty St., Salem, Ore. Tiger much tighter defense and more base blows at the plate. The pitching was on the wild side and the three chuckers em ployed by Salem issued 12 passes. . Bob Stevenson, back in the game after a year's absence, ran into difficulty at the outset and after walking four in a row, John Tierney, a new addition, took over. Tierney, former Salt Lake City chucker in the Pio neer league, went in with the bases loaded, and one out. He got the side out with little diffi culty but four runs had scored to give the Tiges quite an ad vantage. Tierney did a right smart job during the next three in nings but tired in the fifth . and was replaced by Dick Waibel. Waibel, called upon for relief duty for the second time in three nights, blanked the Tigers the rest of the way. The Senators fought back right from the beginning as they jumped on Gil Loust (pro nounced Lust with a" long "u") for three tallies. A walk to Gene Gaviglio, Wayne Peterson's dou ble to right, singles by Dick Bar tie and Mel Wasley, plus a boot brought in three runs. Salem tied it up in the second as Nick Muti got the first of his three hits and went on to third on Glenn Stetter's wild heave from left field. Tierney imme diately brought him home with a base slap over second. The Senators salted the tilt in the third as they scored four runs on singles by Orren Snyder and Muti, a double by Gaviglio, plus two Tiger mis cues. They added two more just to make the thing sure in the seventh. This time it was Hal Zurcher's double that touched off the fireworks. Muti produced another single and Zurcher scored on a per fect squeeze play with Waibel at the bat. Gaviglio then pro duced his second double of the night. John Burak, right hander from late last season, will toil against the Vancouver Caps at 8:15 Friday night. Elsewhere in the league Spo kane edged Victoria 16 to 15 to give the Indians undisputed pos session of first place. The first casualty of the season occurred when Catcher Ed Nulty of Spo kane broke an ankle- sliding in to third. Yakima blanked We- natchee, 6-0, while Tri-City nosed Vancouver, 8-7.

West- Salemires Dominate Relays In Junior Meet As the result of a relay meet Thursday, West Salem won the seventh and eighth grade events while losing the ninth grade contest to Leslie junior high. Even in losing, some of the West Salem boys looked good. reports Coach Bob Warren. Keith Johnson produced a 2:30 half mile to anchor the medley rejay team to the only win in the ninth grade. Other ninth graders turn ing in good performances were Jerry Curtis in the high jump at five feet even; Earl Mcintosh in a 220 leg of the medley relay, Branson and Triplet in the shot. The West Salem 8th grade won, 25 to 10 with Norm Wil liams, Howard Osbourn, Jan Crenshaw and Floyd MacKin- showing good form as they won the 440 and 880 yard event. West Salem took the 7th grade division, 15 to 10 by win ning the 220 and 440 yard re lays, plus the high jump. Look ing especially good were Jim Anderson, Ron S t o utenberg, George Kannier, Kenny Ramsey er and Don Schritter. Ramseyer high jumped 4'5" and Schritter covered 141" in the broad jump. New York Rangers Take Lead Over Detroit Red Wings Detroit, April 21 P The courageous New York Rangers today found themselves within one game of pulling one of the year's major sports upsets a Stanley cup victory over the De troit Red Wings.

Slick Triple Play Insures 9-1 Bevo Win Over Oaks By JIM HUBBART A triple play isn't much to watch, really. It's one of those baseball phenomena which comes perhaps once or twice in a season and happens so fast you have to take the loudspeak er's word for it. Take the one at Oakland last night for instance. The Portland Beavers effected the Pacific Coast league's first triple play of the season and used it to wipe out a ninth in ning Oakland rally and insure a 9 to 1 triumph. Only it went by so fast that few fans appreciated it. Billy Herman and George Metkovich of Oakland were on first and sec ond via walks. Then Earl Rapp slammed a line drive toward Portland Second Baseman Eddie Baslnski. Basinski came up with it, Salem, Oregon, Friday, April 21, 1950 made in the Itickreall, Lucki amutc, Salt creek and Mill creek in Polk county with sin gle eggs, or spinners and worms proving the best lure. The streams on the West slope of the Coast range are still too high for the best angling. Snow runoff is the cause. The Tillamook, Ncstucca and Necanicum are yielding good cutthroat catches on spin ner and worm. If clear wea ther holds streamer or buck tail fly fishing should be good in tidewater. Surf perch are being taken at Nehalem bay and Tillamook bay jetty. Many limit catches reported from the coast streams in Lin coln, Lane and Douglas coun ties although some murky wa ter is reported. Best results expected in the lakes of the Florence area. . In Clackamas county some stcclhead have been taken be low the River Mill dam.

And it must have made Pitch er Red Lynn, who chucked five hit ball for the Ports, feel great. This was just one phase of an evening which also produced a four hit shutout by Red Embree and two homers with the bases loaded all in different ball parks. Embree, who came to the San Diego Padres from the St. Louis Browns by way of Cleveland, set the Los Angeles Angels down, 6 to 0, without allowing a man to reach second. He personally con tributed a run to the San Diego cause, too, with a sixth inning single. It was Seattle's 13th loss in 14 starts. Manager Paul Rich ards juggled his batting order and lineup in wholesale fash ion last night, figuring things couldn't get much worse. They did, though. Hollywood won by 15 to 4 in a performance embellished with a seven run eighth inning and Frank Rel iefer's pinch hit homer with the bases full in the fifth. The game started as a pitching duel between Con Dempsey and Sacramento's Bill Bevens, but ended in the hickory heroics of the squat Seal first baseman. Fleming batted in six of San Francisco's runs. His single in the eighth accounted for two. At Sacramento, Les Fleming's ninth inning roundtripper with the sacks loaded gave the San Francisco Seals an 8 to 5 victory over Sacramento. Tonight, San Francisco will pitch Southpaw Al Lien (2-0) at Sacramento's Max Surkont (4 1). Other probable starters: Los Angeles (Ralph Hamner, 2-1) at San Diego (Schoolboy Rowe, 0-1). Seattle (Guy Fletcher, 1-1) at Hollywood (Ben Wade, 3-0). Portland (Jack Creel, 1-1) at Oakland (Clyde Shoun, 1-1).
