Football Meeting
Set Wednesday
Salem high school football
coach Lee Gustafson has is
sued a call for all boys Inter
ested in playing football this
year to attend a meeting in the
high school gymnasium Wed
nesday night at 7.
He stressed the importance
for many sophomores to turn
out since there will be two
high schools In the fall of
1954.
Salem high will have a
large group of returning let-
termen but their is still a fine
chance to make either the var
sity or Junior varsity
- SLATE
State Softball
Tourney Neors
The. annual state Softball
tournament will be held at Mill
City starting this Saturday and
ending the following Wednes
day. Top Softball teams from all
over the state will take part in
the meet which is one of the
top Softball, events during the
year.
Salem will be represented
by the Salem Merchants who
won the Salem City league,
the district title, and finally
the right to enter the state
tourney. The Merchants, on
of the top nines in the, state,
have Bob Knight and Jim
Rawlins to do the hurling.
Another entry in the tourna
ment is the strong Kelly Lum
ber team of Mill CJty which
racked up a long string of
wins this year.
Hi-Running Bevos
Square off Against
Sagging Rainiers
IBr Tha Anoelattd Prtu
The fast-improving Portland
Beavers and the skidding Se
attle Rainiers lock horns again
this week as the Pacific Coast
League turns into the final
four weeks of the 1953 cam
paign.
Clay Hopper and the Beavers
Invade Seattle Tuesday night to
open tha series. They'll go p
against a team trying deeper-
ately to put on tha brakes after
a disastrous three weeks that
hu all but wiped out hopes of
copping the pennant.
Seattle led the league through
most of the early season. After
a series of setbacks, including
last week's series' loss to last
place Oakland, th Rainiers
will go against th Beavers
trailing the Hollywood Stars by
ten full games.
Brightening Portland s hopes
of overtaking third-place Los
Angeles is word that the Beav
ers hard-hitting outfielder
Dino Restelli, who has been
out for several weeks with a
heart lining Infection, may get
bick in the lineup in the near
future. Portland did a nose
dive when Restelli went out but
seemingly has found itself
again and may be expected to
give the Rainiers considerable
trouble this week.
In othrr series openers Tues
day night, Hollywood plays
Oakland, San Francisco tangles
with Los Angeles, and Sacra
mento opens at San Diego.
No games were played Mon
day night.

games.
Campbell and Jerry Gregg all
come up with some spectacular
catches, and at second base,
where Twink Pederson played
in his usual peppery, flawle.s
manner:
Yakima pitcher Dave Dexter
limited Salem to four hits, but
issued nine walks. It was those
pesky LOB's (left on base) that
hurt Salem. Three times Sa
lem had the bases loaded when
the inning ended. Dexter bore
down effectively In the clutch.
Gary Espe pitched the first
six nnings tor Salem, and was
charged with the loss. Yak
ima got to him for eight hits,
at least one In every inning.
Espe also had trouble with con
trol in the early innings. He
walked three batters In the sec
ond inning as Yakima scored
three runs. Yakima got two
more in the fourth on three
hits, and added its final tally
in the fifth when Ed Pleasant
tripled and scored on a long
fly. )
Gary Peterson ' pitched the
final two innings for Salem,
giving up only a scratch single.
All three Salem runs were
a result of Yakima errors.
Campbell scored directly on an
error In the first tinning, and
Pederson and Jerry Gregg
came home on Waldrop's single
in the sixth, after an error had
put them in scoring position. .

Durocher's Signing
Causes Mixed Feelings
By GAYLE TALBOT
New York It Is difficult
to recall when the re-signing of
any baseball manager ever be
fore stirred up such a ruckus
aa his shaken this city and its
outlying precinct since Presi
dent Horace Stoneham of the
Giants conkered Leo Durocher
and made him agree to another
two-year contract.
Many were stricken where
they sat. Others just as stoutly
defended both Stoneham and
his manager and argued far in
to the night, that Durocher was
blameless for the plight of his
team.
When it came down to either
expressing an opinion or get
ting out, we were forced to side
with the latter forces. Duroch-
ls, well, Durocher, and he
has managed over the years to
pile up an amazing number of
enemies, many of whom never
saw him in the fleah. W have
known him a long time and
happen not to be one of them.
We know his faults, but be
lieve he is as good a baseball
manager as there is in the
game, not excentinc Casev
'Stengel and Charlie Dresaen.
It is true that Leo made a
grave mistake in the spring,
Tri-City Series .
Financial Must
! For Salem Team
The' board of directors of
the Salem Senator are hope
ful that the forthcoming Tri
Clues' aerie here beginning
tonight may prove the biggest
financial boost of 1SSS for the
local professionals.
The Tri-City Braves under
Edo Vanni have agreed that
Salem will retain all home
gate receipts for the aeries
her in the capital city and
that the Washington club will
likewise retain all their home
gste receipt over the week
end.
- Althbugh the Salem club
lead the entire Western Inter
national League in attendance
during July, club officials this
year were beset with the worst
spring weather since 1901. In
addition, the Senator opera
tions in 19S3 have been forc
ed to pay back approximately
$11,000 of losses acquired dur
ing the 19S2 season.
Club officials are hopeful
that the Tri-City series will at
tract over 18,000 fans. Joe
Nichols, record-breaking Sa
lem Senator hurler, will be af
ter the Senator record, 21 wins.
Following the Tri-City ser
ies, only two horn engage
ments remain against Edmon
ton August 25, 28 and 27, and
th season wind-up against th
Vancouver Caplllanos, August
28, 29 and 80.

Salem, Oregon. Tuesday, August 18, 1953
when he believed he had a pen
nant winner, but that 1 not
necessarily a rap at his manag
erial ability. The quality of a
baseball club, which is mad up
of a carload of young men of
varying temperaments, is a
very elusive thing to calculate,
and Durocher will sot be the
last manager to be misled. -.
All it take Is for one or two
itar in whom a pilot ha great
faith to fall down on him, or
for a small spark of dissentlon
to ignite a defeatist complex.
Our . one feeling has been
that the question of Durocher's
continued tenure at the Polo
Ground never would have ris
en if a young Negro pamed Wil
lie Mays had been playing cen
ter field for the Giants the past
two season instead of being in
the service. No one ha sug
gested that Leo was not a great
manager and a model charac
ter after Willie Joined hi team
during tha 1931 season.
It waa no secret In Phoenix
last spring that Leo and other
Giant officials thought Willie
was going to be sprung. ' The
pitchers' eyes glinted at the
thought of having Willi out
there back of them again, and
much of Durocher lint en
thusiasm undoubtedly stemmed
from hi dream of a lineup
which. would include the fleet
Alabama boy.
Tiling never were quite the
same after the bad new came.
Leo continued to drive himself
harder than any other manag
er In the game and to shout it
up, but the problem of realign'
ing his force began at once
and have continued up to now.
The club' lineup ha been the
most unsettled in either league
a It (tumbled around for th
first half of the race and then
suddenly went into a complete
collapse.
Our only ' complaint with
Stoneham concern his' timing.
He might have given Durocher
his big vote of confidence ear
lier, when it was really obvious
that he didn t have the horses,
instead of waiting until the
house fell in.
