Salem Is aaly a kalf gam
out at first place la Western
International league standings
today. The Senators gained an
other game aa league-leading
Spokane last night, Salem
tripping Trl-City t-S at Waters
park whlla Spokane was los
inr 5-1 at Lewlston.
Gene Roenspie recorded his
lflth victory of the season for
Salem (he's lost only three)
though Trl-City batters got to
him for 13 hits.
Jerry Ballard swatted a two
run homer for Salem in the
fourth inning. It was Ballard's
sixth home runvf the season
Jim Deyo batted in five Salem
runs with a triple and a double.
. Ballard's homer gave Salem
a 7-0' lead and drove Trl-City
starter Jim Hedgecock from the
mound. The Senators had scor

when Deyo tripled Perez home,
then Deyo scored on Chuck
Essosian's single. Deyo hit a

' During the first three in
nings, Trl-City managed to hit
only one of Roenspie's pitches
past the infield. That was when
Jack Warren doubled in the
first inning. After one out in
the, fourth, the Braves began
to get the feel of Roenspie.
Warren and Nick Pesut singled
sharply in the fourth, but a
Salem double play prevented
the visitors from scoring in that
inning.
Tri-City got one run on three
hits in the fifth. The tally was
scored by Carrie, Carroll, who
got on base on a fielders
choice, moved to second on a
single by Michaelson, and
scored on a single by Jim Mc
Guire. Tri-City scored twice in the
sixth as Warren was issued a
walk, Dez Charouhas tripled,
and Jim Hockaday hit a bad
hop single.
The Braves scored in the
seventh when McGuire came

Dodgers Pound Out 13th
Straight Victory, 10-0
,t By CARL MJNDQUIST
i New York J Charley
Dressen, who knows he will be
back 1b Brooklyn next year
with a substantial raise, even
If It hasn't been announced by
the Bodger .front office, de-
elded today to get some pay
boosts for a few of his key
players. ' i
Dressen is not at all dis
turbed because he hasn't been
re-hired, even though Charley
Grimm, Eddie Stanky, Steve
O'Neill, and Leo Durocher are
all set for 1954, and they have
not made nearly the showing
with their clubs that Charley
has made with the Broows.
"We're shooting for a lot of
things," Dressen said as he
poured ehsmpaigne following
Brooklyn's 13th straight vic
tory, 10-0 over the "Giants yes
terday. Shooting for Cash
"The big thing, of course. Is
the pennant and nothing else
really matters until we win
that. But I've told the boys
that there could be something
In the salary department for
them If they eould do a few
things, too."
"Carl Furillo at .330 eould
win the batting championship
while both Roy Campanella
and Gil Hodges at 113 and 104
have a chance for the runs bat
ted in title," he said. "Carl Er
skine could have the best earn-ed-run
average and the best
percentabe, even If he doesn't
win 20 games. And Campy
still has an outside chance for
the home run- championship.?
"I hope they all make it and
I hope they all get a lot more
money if they do."
Brooklyn drove another nail
Into the coffin the Giants have
decided to occupy when Er
skine held them to four hits
and shut them out for the sec
ond time in a week.
The victory gave Brooklyn a,
nine-game lead over idle Mil
waukee, the widest the Dodg
ers have enjoyed this season.
Yanks Move Up
The Yankees also moved
nine games in front of the sec
ond place White Sox by top
ping the Senators 7-0, as Ed
Lopat won his 11th straight
game.
The Indians topped Detroit,
13-7, pounding out 18 hits in
cluding a two-run homer by
Jim Hegan who drove in four
runs with ; three hits. Bob
lemon won his 17th game with
relief help from Bob Hooper.
In the National . League's
other games, Robin Roberts
again failed in his quest for
his 21st when the Pirates top
ped the Phils, 3-2, by scoring
all of their rnns in the final
three innings; and St Louis
defeated the Cubs, 5-3, as Wil
mer Mizell hurled a seven-hit
ter and drove in two runs with
a double. ,..,
There were no other major
league games scheduled.
The swimming speed cham
pion of ocean fish is generally
regarded as the wahoo. How
ever, machcrels, dolphins and
marlin are also regarded In the
top hit-run class.

Shark Caught by
Local Fishermen
This is a fish story where
the big one got away to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
A quartet of local nimrods.
including Clarence Bishop, el
ectrical contractor, and Roy
Ferris, real estate salesman, re
cently went to Astoria for a
session in the lower Colum
bia. .
During the day Ferris had a
strike of considerable propor
tions. The fish immediately
started away from the boat
with -Ferris having difficulty
in the control department
When he started to reel in the
line that had all but disappear
ed, he found two screws miss
ing from the reel.
At this point Bishop took
part In the operations and be
gan pulling In the line by hand.
He succeeded in bringing the
fish up to the boat.
"What in the blankety blank
is it?" the fishermen yelled in
unison.
It was a shark that appeared
to be longer than Jonah's
whale, but in reality it was
about five feet in length.
The shark got one good look
at the fishermen and then took
off, snapping Ferris' line.
Incidentally the party got the
limit of salmon.

Gun Dogs Meet
On Sunday morning, August 33, ears packed with people
and dogs will converge on Conser Lake, near Albany. They'll
turn off 99E at the Picnic Area, 2 miles north of Albany, and
follow the signs to the trial grounds. There will be the e-
cnange of greetings between old friends and friendly rivals,
as some of the best retrieving dogs and handlers In Oregon
ana Washington await the start of the trial at S a.m. It's
the second AKC Sanctioned Trial of the Willamette Valley
neinever nun, ana as,tnis goes to press, some 40 dogs are
entered in the various stakes. The dogs, mostly Labs, will
retrieve pigeons from land and ducks from water under close
scrutiny of the judges, Dave Gotthardt and Floyd Hoffstead
of Portland. The competition will be keen, especially in the
Open-All-Age stake, as several Field Trials Champions will
be entered. We know of few other outdoor contests that are
as exciting to watch, especially if one has an interest in
dogs and hunting. Visitors are very welcome, and they need
not bring lunches food, coffee and soft drinks will be avail
able.

Despite the law imposing a stiff fine on motorists tossing
cigarette and matches from their cars, it teems that this
destructive little pastime is still being indulged in by far
too many drivers, as well as their passengers. Some folks
are so tidy they would rather burn a million feet of timber
than dirty up their ash tray. We've seen plenty of this our
selves, and have been amazed at the thoughtlessness of some
people. Our friend Lyle Foree of Salem was discussing the
situation wun us recently, and he said he counted lour cie-
arette duiis luppea irom cars anead of him In the space of
a couple of miles. Apparently, It Is hard to prove exactly
who threw what, and state police do not find enough "teeth"
in the law to make the arrests they should. To us, there Is
no excuse for this type of unintentional arson, and we think
a person is a mighty poor citizen who doesn't take every
possible precaution to prevent fires.
windows. The gates were left
open, and fans were allowed to
donate to the ball club as they
entered. Approximately $600
was collected, plus a beer token
and a piece of play folding
money, was collected.
