CK SHOOTING SOON OVER
Tomorrow, at 4:34 D.m.. th last gun will fire a farewell
lute to the 1953 migratory waterfowl season in Oregon. A
ilority of Willamette Valley gunners win agree mai ine
ttlng ha seldom been worse. In fact, many hunters have

Is Canada kept the birds up north for the most part, and
It now is the main migration on the move. They'll be here
ktby the thousands . . . after the season.
Next year, we believe, there will oe some cnanges in
b duck hunting regulations. The season will start later
ul extend into January, if Oregon's Willamette Valley
tuners have any voice in the matter. To be honest, we
ant admit we had a lot of fun, despite the scarcity of
licks. With our duck call and a pair of good dogs, we

Sport fishing on the coast is big business, however. By

the general manager whose
contacts with the fuel supply
around the baseball world are
expected to keep the team
among the Western Interna
tional league kingpins next
season again.
And the man whose bat-and-glove
career began in 1931 in
Nebraska at the age of 17, and
closed 22 years later in Salem,
will "stir up the coals" right
after the first of the new year.
Luby's duties will intensify
as spring training time nears
and he must have a tentative
roster to present, with his com
pliments, to Harvey Storey
Luby's successor as Senator
manager.
Lists Positions to Fill
Specifically, Luby must find
a first baseman, two pitchers,
two outfielders and a shortstop.
The first sacker would replace
Gerald Ballard, the tall one
owned by Sacramento; the
shortstop would replace Gene
Tanselli, a .295 hitter Salem
hopes to sell to the Pacific
Coast league; one of the pitch'
crs would try to fill the shoes
of Joe Nicholas, a 23-game
winner; and the other hurler
would replace Gene Roenspie,
19-game winner owned by
Sacramento.
Storey will play third base
and Connie Perez will go back
into the outfield where Luby
hopes to have a lefthanded
power-hitter to go with him.
Plans are to sell Tanselli
and Nicholas on a look-see
basis to the PCL, "not just for
the money but to give the up-and-coming
players a chance
to advance," Luby explained.
"We like to deal with the Coast
league and it's better than the
eastern minor leagues to go
to.
The Past
Luby, at the tender age of 22, was with the
Philadelphia Athletics in 1936 Men above)
and with the New York Giants in 1944 (right above).
Connie Mack was his Athletic manager and Mel Ott the
Giants pilot.

Luby's 22 years on the base
paths carried him twice to the
major leagues, nine years in
the Coast league and five years
as player-manager. Why this
particular year did he decide
to retire? he was asked.
"Well, it was getting to be
too much like work, and
when baseball isn't fun any
more, it's time to quit," Luby
summed it up.
His first trip to the majors
was to play for Connie Mack's
Philly Athletics in the fall of
1936 to finish the season at
second base.
Thrill In Polo Grounds
It was his second trip to the
majors which provided one oi
his greatest thrills. The New
Luby first played baseball la
high school, playing with the
Nebraska Legion champions of
1929. At 17 he reported to a
tryout camp along with 12S
other youths in 1931 at Nor
folk and signed. He was re
leased after a month and went
to play semi-pro ball in Oma
ha with his brother, Reginald,
a shortstop. A brother, Arthur,
also played amateur ball in
Omaha and a brother Steve lat
er played three years in the
Yankee system.
A clipping in a 1931 paper
read: "Hugh Luby made hit
debut at second base with the
Gordons, got a triple and
single and looked like vet
eran. He handled 10 chances
without a bobble."
Norfolk recalled him the
next spring to play second
base and he helped his club
win both halves of the season.
Luby returned to Norfolk in
1933, then was promoted to
the Class A Western league
with Sioux City for the 1934,
1935 and 1938 seasons. It was
at Sioux City that he met
baseball fan whom he married
in 1935 the present Mrs,
Luby.
Led Southern Association
Atlanta's Crackers of the
Class AA Southern associa
tion claimed his services In
1937 after his stint with the
Athletics and at Atlanta
Luby had his beat year, lead
ing the league In hits, 208,
and batting .320. With him
on the third place clnb were
Paul Richards, player-manager
who now manages the
White Sox; Dutch Loonsrd
and Luman Harris, later a
White Sox coach.
Recalled by the Athletics, ha
was sent to Oakland in 1937
along with Jesa Hill, an out
fielder with the Athletics who
is now University of Southern
California head football coach.
It marked the beginning
of a popular reign at sec
ond base, lasting through U..
season of 1943 and during
which ha played 862 consec
utive games from 1939-1943
to set a record that still
stands.
In those days of few if any
utility players, Luby came
nearest to being out ot the
lineup when he had a bad foot,
which the trainer taped up
thoroughly.
It waa back to the Giants In
1944 before being drafted into
naval service before the 1945
season, where he played serv
