LOCAL UNITED PRESS Lombard, in Suicide Try Oakland UR Ernie Lom bard!, one of major League baseball's greatest catchers, was in serious condition today from injuries received when he cut his throat in a suicide at tempt. Doctors at Highland hospital here said the 45-year-old Lom bard! was rushed there' last night after trying to kill him self in the bedroom of a friend's home In nearby Castro Valley. Lombard! and his wife, Ber ks, lived in Oakland but the catcher was operating a liquor store in San Leandro. , His wife told police last night that Ernie had been de spondent lately and doctors suggested that he be taken to a sanitarium for psychiatric treatment. It was decided that Lombardi should enter a private institu tion at nearby Livermore. Mrs. Lombardi said she and Ernie were on their way to the Livermore Rest Home last night and decided to visit their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Van Ness of Castro Valley. Lombardi's wife entered the bed room shortly afterward and found him lying on the bed with his throat- cut by a razor blade he found in the bath room, police said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Salem, Oregon, Thursday, April 9, 1953 Senator Game Rained Out; Pocatello Tonite By CHRIS KOWITZ, JR. Calistoga, Calif. Rain forced 'the cancellation of the Salem-Victoria game Wednes day night so the Senators will still be gunning for their sixth straight win Thursday night when they meet Pocatello of the Class C Pioneer league here. Three pitchers will be used in Thursday's game, Manager Hugh Luby announced. Bill Beven, Larry Borst and Jim McGee will each hurl three innings of the exhibition mix. Borst will probably be sign ed this week or next, Luby said. Borst has been working out pretty regularly and show ing some pretty good stuff so his contract will- probably be picked up. A new player checked in late Wednesday for a look-see, Outfielder Ray Stratton of Eu gene is a hybrid batting left handed and throwing right handed. For the last two sea sons he has been playing semi pro ball with Bandon, vhere last year he had the distinction of leading two leagues in home runs. Bandon was a member of both the ' Southwest Oregon league and the State league, with Stratton leading both leagues in homers. He batted .352 In 1952 and .875 in 1951 against some pretty tough pitching. He is also a three year letterman at the Univer sity of Oregon, where he was team captain in his senior year, 1950. His session with the Sen ators will be his first try in Bearcats to Meet Oregon Willamette university's Bearcat baseball club will be after its fourth straight win Friday afternoon at Eugene when they play the University of Oregon at 8 o'clock. Coach John Lewis will prob ably start Mickie Coen, sopho more right hander against the Ducks. The balance of his line up will not be much different than the one that nosed Ore gon State early this week on McCuIloch field. The 'Cats have beaten the Beavers twice and won a sin gle contest from OSC. The Northwest conference season will open April 17 against the Pacific Badgers at Forest Grove. . A return engagement with Oregon is slated for Mc CuIloch field May 12. The Bearcats have been get ting their share of hits but Lewis is hoping for greater distance as the season ad vances, With the exception of the pitching staff, Oregon has been fielding an experienced ball club this season. They beat Linfield twice at McMinnvllle Tuesday but lost the services of Duane Allen, first baseman who broke a leg. Salem Women Golfers In Tourney Top Spots Three Salem women placed in top position in the Oregon Women's Golf association meet at the Portland Golf club this week over more than 100 top women golfers from around the state. Salem winners were Mrs. Frank Flsk, championship flight; Mrs. Charles McDevitt, Class A flight; and Mrs. How ard Wicklund, Class C flight. Thirty Salem golfers attend ed the meet, the second of the year. The next OWGA meet will be April 21 at the Waver Iy Country club in Portland.

It was an amusing interlude, but only 792 fans were on hand to see it. The weather was chilly, and so were Hollywood's bats. Al Gettel held the Stars to two hits, one a homer by Lee Walls. Chapman drove in both Oak runs In the sixth with a single when the bases were loaded. Calvin Coolidge McLlsh of Los Angeles whitewashed San Francisco in the only day game, 7-0. Fred Richards homered with one on and Tod Davis got three hits In four tries, two of them doubles, for the best hit ting performances by the An gels. : Seattle took another one from the hapless San Diego NEWS AND FEATURES Page 17 professional ball. Rumors flooded the Sena tors camp Wednesday that the pressing first base problem has been solved. According to the rumor, Jerry Ballard, now with Sacramento of the Coast league, will be sent to the Sen ators. Manager Hugh Luby re fused to eomment on the rumor. . Ballard, one of two first basemen with the Sacs, has shown considerable ability but has had little opportunity to play so far this jrear. He is also noted for his ability with the bat. His procurrence would re lieve Luby of covering first base as he has been forced to do so far In the pre-season workouts. A light workout was sched uled for the Senators Thursday morning If weather permitted. Wednesday's rain and hall stopped some time during the night and Thursday morning showed promise of a fair, if slightly cold, day. The chilly weather here has been one of the bugaboos of the spring workout.' It has been too cold generally for the players to really loosen up their muscles.

Al Wldmar, the Ralnlers' 20-game winner of 1952, won his second of 1953, although he had to be relieved in the ninth by Jim Davis, and Davis by Art Del Duca, as the Padres pushed across one run and threatened to tie It up with a four-hit barrage that Del Duca finally quelled. Portland and Sacramento went 11 thrill-packed innings before Portland gained an 8-8 decision. Sacramento fought an uphill battle, scoring two runs to knot the score In the ninth, and another in the tenth to tie it again, but' the Beavers put across two in the eleventh to clinch it. The contest was played in 45-degree weather and only 447 attended. Port land used three pitchers and Sacramento six. The Sacs com mitted three errors.
