Solons Lose 1-0 In 13th
Wenatchee, Salem Play
Again Tonight at 8:75
By CHRIS KOWITZ, JR.
You've got to win the close
ones to stay In the first divi
sion. The Salem Senators were
realizing the truth in that old
baseball axiom today. All four
Senator games in Western In
ternational league play have
been decided by one-run mar
gins and Salem has won only
one of them.
With just a wee bit of luck
the other day, the Senators
could be leading the league to
day. But, as the old saying
goes, you've got to win those
close ones.
Wenatchee defeated Salem
1-0 in a 13-inning struggle at
Waters park last night before
a slim turnout of 453 chilly
fans who braved a pre-game
rain which stopped just be
fore game time.
' It was no doubt one of the
toughest losses ever absorbed
by Senator chucker Jack
Hemphill, who gave up only
six hits in 13 innings, walked
only five, yet lost the game.
The Wenatchee run in the
13th came when pitcher Art
Amaya, who had. relieved
starter Jack Klein in the
10th, tripled to right-center
field. That was the longest
hit of the game. Chuck

Rods Open '53 Auto Race
Season at Hollv Bowl
The Voaring roadsters re
turn to Hollywood Bowl
speedway tonight to inau
gurate the 1953 auto racing
season in Salem.
Starting with time trials
at 1:30, local racing fans
will see some of the finest
hot rods ever built In the
Northwest, both from a me
chanical and appearance
standpoint.
In addition to spending
hundreds of dollars and
hours of time putting their
motors in top shape, the hot
rodders have put a lot of
money and effort into the
appearance of their ears this
year.
Consequently, t o n i g h t's
roadster races should have
a "big league" appearance
with a lot of speed, too.
Following the time trials,
the hot rodders will spin
Holly
through a trophy dash, four
heat races, a 15-lap class B
class A main event.
The heat races will each be
for seven laps, with six cars
in a race. The B mainer and
the A mainer will each see
12 cars running.
All the top drivers In the
Northwest will be on hand
for tonight's roadster card,
because the roadsters race in
Portland Speedway Sunday.
As long as" the cars and driv
ers are coming to this cor
ner of the state, they figur
ed they might as well run
in Salem, too, in an effort
to pick up a few points.
Opening defense of his
1952 Northwest roadster rac
ing championship tonight
will be Len Sutton, driving
a completely rebuilt car.
He'll be opposed by such
notable throttle-tromperi as
Bob Gregg, Palmer Crowell,
Bob McGrotty, Frankie Mc
Gowan, Cliff Miller, Dick
Braniff, Cookie Cookson, Er
nie Koch, Jack Timmings,
Harold Sperb, Bill Legg,

Clint Courtney Does't
Waste Any Love on Yanks
By GAYLE TALBOT
New York ) It is heart
warming to learn that our fa
vorite baseball player, Clinton
D. Courtney of Coushatta, La.,
hasn't gone soft and begun
treating the Yankees with a
sort of reverent respect, as so
many other players do after a
season or two in the American
League.
A little over a year ago,
when we first heard the
Brownies' rookie catcher refer
to the champions as "them rich
blankety-blanks ' and tell in
glowing terms what he in
tended to do to them at every
opportunity, we put it down
as a temporary peeve and in
wardly doubted the feeling
would last. It shows how
wrong a man can be when he
tries.
Clint plainly Is a ballplay
er of character. When he
said he hated the Yankees'
insides for having sold him
down the river when he was,
after all, a better catcher
than Yogi Berra, he meant
exactly what he. said. He
outhit Yogi by 13 points last
year, by the way.

Joe Kahut Loses
At-Edmonton -
Edmonton, Alta., W Earl
Walls, 93 Vi, Edmonton, won
close 10-round decision Friday
night over Joe Kahut, 187,
Woodburn, Ore., in a fight
billed as for the Pacific -Coast
heavyweight title.
Kahut was down for a nine
count in the second round, but
piled up points in the late
going on his sharp infighting
as Walls missed repeatedly,
One official scored it
draw, the other two narrowly
favored the Edmonton battler
who holds the Canadian heavy'
weight crown.
Nobody Counting
Hogan Out of
Pan-American
That the Yankees feel the
same way about their former
teammate is obvious. The feud
between the ornery, bespectac
led fireplug and the usually
staid money counters of the
Bronx flamed steadily all last
year, and it was no accident
when Gil McDougald ploughed
into the squat catcher at the
plate in St. Louis the other
day.
Neither was it by chance
that Courtney, in the next
inning, did a job of hem
stitching on little Phil Riz
zuto at second base and set
off the first full-blown team
fight of the season. The
Yanks should have noted
that Clint hadn't said a word
after McDougald busted him
up and knocked the ball
from his hand. Such silence
in our man is ominous. He
might not be as fast as Ty
Cobb was, but he's as good
a hater for our money.
First thing he said this spring
was "Who do you think's gon
na win it?" When we ventured
that the Yanks might be fav
orites Clint said with some
emotion that "I guess you've
got to pick the thus and sos,
but I'll tell you this much: They
in't gonna win it by beatin'
us! Looking bacK, it is lmer-
ssVmj' to .recall that tbs orny

000 Pan American Open golf
tournament swung into the
third round Saturday.
At the halfway stage the
grim little master, three-time
winner of the U. S. Open
championship, is tied for
fourth place, three strokes
back of the leaders Dave
Douglas and Art Wall. That's
not a comfortable margin to
hold over one of the greatest
finishers in the game.
Douglas, a wiry young pro
from Newark, Del., added a
72 Friday to his first round
69 while Wall, a former Duke
University star who is widely
known for making holes-in-
one, bracketed a 70 with a pre
vious 71.
This gave them a two-round
total of 141, two strokes bet
ter than Gardner Dickinson,
Jr., of Panama City, with 72
71, and three better than Ho
gan and Douglas Higgins oi
Fort Worth, Tex.
Hogan, now playing out of
Palm Springs, Calif., has
toured in two even-par 72s
over the 7,400-yard Golf Club
of Mexico course. Higgins'
rounds were 73 and 71.
Vikings Defeat
Sweet Home, 8-3
For 11th Straight
Salem high school's Vikings
racked up their 11th consecu
tive baseball victory at Olinger
field yesterday, turning back
Sweet Home 8-3.
Ken Pingel of Salem and
Morley of Sweet Home locked
in a pitcher's battle for the first
three innings.
Salem, in fact, had not had
a hit. after three innings of
play. But the Viking bats
broke loose in the fourth frame
for six hits and six runs.
Owens replaced Morley on
the mound for Sweet Home
during the third inning
Morley remained in the line
up, moving to the outfield, and
swatted a home run in the six
th inning.
The Vikings played errorless
ball. Sweet Home committed
five bobbles. .

Salem threatened even
stronger in the 11th, when
the Solons loadd the bases
with only one out. But
pinch hitter Bill Nelson
truck out and Stratton foul
ed out, and that was that.
Gene Tanselli, Salem short
stop, was the only man in the
ball game to get more than one
hit. He had two singles.
Salem got only two other
hits, both singles. They were
by Connie Perez and Bob Nel
son.
The game was a sparkler all
the way, with several fielding
gems and no errors.
The same two teams meet
again tonight at t:15 and in
a doubleheader Sunday at
X o'clock.
Either Bill Bevens or Bob
Collins will pitch for Salem to
night, probably opposing
Chuck Oubre of Wenatchee.
Another attraction is the fact
that Emmet Ashford, who
umpired on the bases last
night, will be behind the plate
tonight. No other umpire in
baseball calls a strike Quite
like Ashford does.

Preacher Roe Overcomes
Winter and Spring Jinx
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York flMO There was
bad news today for the rest of
the National league as unpre
tentious "Preacher" Roe al
lowed that he "might win al
most 20 games this season."
"I feel that good, anyhow,"
drawled the man who is
known as Elwln to the folks
back in Ash Flat, Ark. "I'm
heavier and stronger than I
was last season and feel like I
can pitch every fourth day,
for a while, anyhow."
The reason for the Preach
er's slow smile and optimistic
words is that his "spring mis
eries" ere behind him.
