kiUcratcheA ; By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor Season Hearing Close ' Just six home series remain of the 1950 Western International league and as far as Waters park is concerned the concluding games will be with the Spokane Indians, September 3. Unless there is a complete rejuvenation of the Senators, there is little possibility that the club wUl finish in the first division. With both Victoria and Vancouver showing late season strength, the possi bility of the Solons dropping deep into the season division is fairly strong. The series ahead for local consumption are: Tri City, July 28, 29, 30; Victoria, Aug. 4, 5, 6; Tacoma, Aug. 15, 18, 17; Vancouver, Aug. 22, 23, 24; Wenatchee Aug. 29, 30, 31 and Spokane, Sept. 1, 2, 3. The Senators won't be through Sept. 3, but will finish up with a series of five games, including a Labor Day doubleheader at Trl-Clty, Sept. 4, 5, 6 and 7 and four games with the Chiefs at Wenatchee, Sept 8, 9, 10. Marquez Best, Claims Sweeney Lnls Marquez, Portland's fast centerfielder, "Is the best all round player In the Pacific Coast league" In the opinion of Beaver Manager Bill Sweeney. Undoubtedly Marques has the hustle that every manager hopes to see in one of his players. ' On top of that he has speed and hitting ability to make him a highly desirable player. "He's all over the place during workouts," points out Sweeney, "playing third base one min ute, shortstop the next and the outfield the next. He really loves the game and that's important." Lind'sSoftballers ' " 'Tis said that every man should have a hobby and apparently the one taken up by Irv Lind of Portland is the sponsoring of a girls Softball club. Since 1937 Lind has guaranteed the expenses of a club and while his group has considerable drawing power by reason of its successes, the Portland florist must be out of pocket a sizeable sum of money. Be that as it may, Lind's will be seen in action here the night of August 1, meeting the Capitol Shopping Center girls at Waters park. It will be the Portlanders only visit here of the season. This year's Lind aggregation has a record of 29 wins, 10 defeats and one tie. Of the 29 won, 19 were shutouts. They carry three pitchers, three catchers, six infielders and five outfielders. Moore St7 Catching Dorothy Moore, well known in Salem for her work as a catcher with one of the local girls teams of several years ago, has been with Lind's for eight years. She was with the club in 1944 when it won the "world series" of that year. Miss Moore Is a high school physical education instructor and although 31 years old still has the ability to nip runners oft first and her services as a coach are a valuable asset to the florists. Lind's pitching staff consists of Doris Barrett, Laura Nelson and Thelma Parrish. The latter doubles as an out fielder. Barrett boasts a fast ball and a slow one as well while Nelson's curve is said to be worth looking over. Barnstormers Grow Stale Perhaps it is necessary for traveling squads such as the Harlem Globetrotters to play three games each Sunday, but such proced ure doesn't improve their baseball the following night. The Trot ters and Brooklyn Cuban Giants staged a good exhibition of a couple of dog tired clubs at Waters park early this week. Each club is capable of playing a fine brand of baseball but they cannot do their best after growing stale. Instead of playing base ball, they tried to get by on their clowning. The latter was fairly good but didn't make up for the lack of real diamond competition. Parnell Hurls BoSox Back Into Fight for W By NORMAN MILLER (United press Sporti Writer) New York, July 27 (U.R The Boston Red Sox, given a big boost by the return to form of Lefty Mel Parnell, were waging a successful battle against odds today In their usual late scram ble up the American league lad der. Despite their mid-season man agerial shakeup and the loss of Slugger Ted Williams, the Red Sox are closer to the lead today than they were on the same date In 1949 when they barely lost the. pennant on the last day of the season. On the strength of Parnell's brilliant five-hit pitching per formance yesterday, the Red Sox edged the league-leading Detroit Tigers, 1 to 0, and moved to within 4H games behind first place. The victory was the sixth straight for Boston, the second in a row over Detroit and the 11th in the last 15 games all without the mighty Williams. In outpitching Art Houtteman, the Tigers' ace right-hander who gave up only six hits including Bobby Doerr'g game-winning homer In the second inning Parnell showed little effects of the sore shoulder that has side lined him for 10 days. The tri umph evened his record at 7-7. ' The New York Yankees Inched to within a half-game of the top by beating the St Louis Browns, 6 to 3, and the Indians moved to within 1 games by trimming the Phil adelphia Athletics, 6 to 2.

Yakima Blisters Senators O 9 9 9 0 9 Salem Closes Series on Thursday; Tri-City Next 9 0 By FRED ZIMMERMAN Salem's ball club was in the game for a few minutes Wed nesday night but the third inning uprising, spearheaded by Bill Spaeter's lofty homer over the right field fence, was squelched by the Yakima Bears who went on to win once more, 9 to 5. The final appearance of the pennant-bound Bears is slated for 8:15 Thursday night but the Senators can expect little rest for the Tn-City Braves move into Waters park Friday night for a four-game stand. John Tierney, who, in spite of his wildness, won a lot of early season contests, stuck around Wednesday night just long enough to permit one Bear to score and load the sacks with three more for Gene Val entine relief pitcher. Bill Mel ton had a count of two balls, no strikes 'when Manager Ad Liska made the swap. Valen tine walked Melton to force in a run but that ended the scor ing for the inning. Because the Senators pulled up even in the third, Tierney got off the hook insofar as responsi bility was concerned and Valen tine was charged with the ulti mate loss. He gaVe way to Ralph Lineberger who performed cred itably during the 2 innings worked. A lot of things happened during the two hour and 12 minute long contest. One which looked serious for a few minutes was the hitting on the head of Bill Andrlng by a ball thrown by Al Drew from right field. Andrlng had just lash ed a single and when Drew quickly played the ball off the fence, the base runner started back toward first. Drew's throw hit Andring squarely on the side of the head and he staggered on to second where he collapsed. He remained in the game to hit a triple in the seventh but taken off third for a relief runner. The Senators' attack in the third that tied the session at 3-all, was quite an affair while it lasted. Spaeter's extremely high homer started it and then Bob Cherry singled while Mel Wasley hit the lower edge of the right field boards with a line double. Cherry scored and Was ley moved on to third after the catch. He then was credited with a tally on Gene Gaviglio's rap to short. Nelton played the ball to the home plate with Was ley piling into Catcher Nini Tor- nay. Salem added; two runs in the seventh as the result of two walks, singles by Drew and Scott and a wild pitch by Bill Bradford, who went the en tire nine frames. The Bears broke the 3-3 tie in the sixth when they batted around. Three singles and a double were largely responsible. Singles by Melton and Tornay, Andring's triple and a passed ball were good for three more Yakima runs in the seventh.

San Diego, in the third shutout of the night, blank ed Los Angeles, 2-0. Portland combined cracker jack pitching by Bob Drilling and lack Creel with timely slugging by Joe Brovla and Mickey Rocco for its twin win. Drilling icattered six hits in the seven-inning opener as Brovla blasted his 23rd and 24th homers. Creel tossed a five-hit shutout to best Herb Karpel of the stars. Rocco's two-run single with the bags loaded in the eighth was the game-breaker. Oakland's whitewash job was a seven Inning, three-hit stint by Hank Behrman which snapped the six-game winning streak of Seattle's Guy Fletcher. The Rainiers bounced back behind Charley Schanz in the afterpiece, however,,puttlng five runs across in a decisive third inning outburst. Al Lyons' homer with one on climaxed the big frame. Seattle pulled a triple steal in the eighth, with Lyons sliding across the plate for the final run, San Diego's Calsomlne spe cialist was Al Olsen, who came through unscathed despite yield- ing 10 hits. Frankie Marino was the Hardluck Loser. Marino has given up only three runs In the last 24 innings, two of them un earned, and still has been charged with three straight de feats.
