By BENN VALDEZ LLOYD JONES . . hardluck pitcher e nati intended running a short on Vera Collins this week out either Vern or our fotog is missing when picture taking time comes up and we are still looking for the tint pix of theBurkland "'s " nercwim, instead, our candidate for the hard luck pitch er of the year and the most lik- , able guy in Salem softbalr. He Is Lloyd Jones of the Salem Used Cals nine who has pitched some mighty good ball in spots this year but is still looking for his first win in City League action.' LJpyd has pitched some games he should have won this year and with a little more hitting or T little, better support could have had winning record. Regardless of the outcome Lloyd always has the big Pepso dent tor everyone and the smile today must be in remembrance of the no-hitter he turned in over the Canby team early in the sea son, the one bright point in an otherwise dreary campaign. KNIGHT FIRES ONE-HITTER Best ipitching effort of the week turned in by Bob Knight of Burkland who fired a one-hitter at Used' cars Monday night . shutting ,lhem 'out to a 5 to 0 score. The only hit off long Bob . was Hugh Aspinwall's line single to left in the Sth inning. Right behind his mound effort came the 3 to 0 shutout hurled by the YMCA's Norv Hilflicker in a revenge game over br'er Gene of Randle Oil. Both games were reeled off in a snappy two hours and fifteen minutes. CONTINUES IL DOMINATION Ray & Wilma's continued their domination of the Industrial league last night as they pounded the Post Office for 17 runt in five innings with the Sudsmen hammering four home runs! Pitcher Gene Lebold gave up 2 hits and homered twice to gather all the plaudits. Last year it was the YMCA running away and hiding from the rest of the league and this year the bottoms- up boys. The rest of the league is pretty well-balanced except for the leaders. Wonder if they will move Into the city league next year and threaten as has last yar's champs the YMCA men. DISA & DATA Vern Esch returned to the Softball wars with the First Chris tian church Industrial league entry and promptly banged two home runs as the Churchmen racked Berk's 14 to 6. Vern has played with some of the better -teams of the past . . . YMCA catching the Woolen Mill team off their feed and jarring-them 7 tn 1 as Nnrv Hilficker flane a 3-hitter at them. Bob Wicks applied the crusher as he hammered a three-run homer off loser Jim Rawlins. Orestes Gonzalez homered for the Woolens only tally r..n. HilfirW shnwinu his mates how he wants it done as he scored the winning run in his 3 to 2 win over Used Cars with a long home run ... A home run being the difference again to Used Cars last week as Wallie Unruch hit a two-run homer to provide the margin as YMCA beat the carmen 3 to 1. ... Al Zuber continuing bis torrid hitting of late with a solo homer off Lloyd Jones as Burkland beat them 5 to 0 . . . National Guard started off like a house afire Monday night scoring three runs in the first inning on Bob Oche's bases loaded triple but then cooled off and watched helplessly as KeUer Electric rolled over them 8 to 3 . . . Jfm Stewart receiving the "kiss of death from our column last week and promptly going 0 for 5. He a still in front in the hit derby by a considerable margin. . 'There has been considerable hullabaloo lately report that several of the more prominent members ol Salem fr Softball arc to journey to Mill City to Join last year s .Ute rhmn5 for the district playoffs. Frankly, wedoni think it is legal so have not been regarding it too seriously. At any rate, it is our belief that the Burkland team is one of the better teams in the state and from all reports I can gather fron ; disinterested viewer, will take Mill City in the play-offs. I will noi necu mice from this district this year. Chiefs Drop Opener 3-2 At Lewiston By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A change of scenery didn't change the luck of the Wenatchee Chiefs, fast becoming the Western International Baseball League's doormat. ' After losing three of four con tests at home, the Chiefs invaded Lewiston Tuesday night and drop ped the opener of a three-game series, 3-2. The Chiefs have lost 12 of 16 starts since the feague opened the second half pennant drive, most of them by one or two run margins' and many in the closing innings. It happened again Tuesday night Tony Rivas' homer tied the score at 2-2 in the top of the ninth. Lewiston won in the bottom of the innine on a walk, a sinele bv Larry Barton and a sacrifice fly. The win tightened Lewiston's grip on first place, giving the Broncs a 24 game bulge over Victoria, Edmonton, Salem and Tri-City, all bunched in the run nerup slot. Braves, Yaks Divide Elsewhere around the league. Tri-City split a twin bill with Yak ima, winning the seven-i n a i n g opener, 6-3, but dropping the night cap, 2-1, while Salem beat Vic toria, 5-1. Vancouver and Edmon ton were rained out at Edmonton. High Herman Bcsse, a Pacific Coast League veteran recently re leased as a free agent by Sac ramento, put on a Tri-City - uni form before the opener al Yak ima and notched his lirst W1L victory. Besse scattered (even hits. In the nightcap. Yakima's Dan ny Rios turned in one of his best pitching jobs of the season, allow ing the Braves only three hits as he went the distance. Tn-City's only score was unearned, Jack Wan en crossing the plate on a passed ball by John Albini. At Salem, Ron Jackson, Don Pries and Dain Clay singled . in the first inning to give Victoria its only run. Joe Nicholas, who formerly pitcnea tor tne ryees Or aaaassasssaaaaajsagsaaaaasiai '!!

' Coaches Planning To Attend Clinic A larcc number of coaches are expected for the oneay clinic to be given by the New York Giants football team here at mctuiiocn Stadium Friday. On Saturday the Giants will play an inter-squad crame. The clinic is open to all inter ested coaches and there will be no charge. The coaches planning to attend are asked to notify the Willamette University athletic department By A. C. JONES - Capital Journal Sports Editor . There's pitching prowess on the Salem Senators club,, winner of six of its last eight games, and now all it needs is an audience for its newly found winning man ners. ' ' v . Mr. Hugh Luby's lads awoke this morning in a tie for third place, which represents a happy climb from seventh since July 13. Aiding and abetting the 23th Street crew last night was Joe Nicholas, who showed his scorn for his for mer teammates, the Victoria 'Ty ees, All he did was whip them 5-1 on a five-hitter as. he found himself again. It's Brlgiti Tonight With his newfound starting pitcher. Manager Luby appears to have- three maybe four- strong arms to take their turns. Johnny Briggs, tonight s chosen starter, has accounted for two of the last six wins, as has Ernie Domenichelli. Bill Franks and Nicholas earned the other two. Briggs can put the Senators in second place if he cuts his 13th notch tonight. His opponent will be Berlyn Hodges, a lefthander with a 3-s record tnis season. Hodges suddenly found himself playing first base last night after Manager Don Pries was chased from the arena by Umpire Fulk, who had called a third strike on pinchhltter Neil Sheridan. Catcher Don Lundberg was not far be hind on the trail to the showers as he tried to continue the dispute with some outspoken language. This Is open barrel night, tne object being to remove the ticket takers and sellers and replace them with barrels for free-will of ferings. Club directors nope xo realize 11500 from fans who want to retain baseball in balem s en virons.

"The board of directors has examined the books verv carefully to cut expenses to the bone and to decide on the min imum attendance to get us oy. .Salem has as Itood an operation as anywhere in Class A baseball, he said, and Senator salaries pro bably are 25 per cent below any other" league club, the president estimated.

In 1952 the Senators drew 98,000 but lost sn,- 000. Last year Salem drew 88,000 and lost only $3200. Costs $11,000 a Month It requires $11,000 to $12 000 a month to operate and we get 65 cents for every paid admission after taxes and the league a snare are deducted," he said, plus about $240 from advertisers per game, With 10 players here on option and their salaries partially paid by the parent club, it is the "best operation in the history of the club." . Concession sales have picked up since June 22, fans averaging 34 cents in nurchases. The club s profit is about 30 per cent of this, Williams revealed. Bonus ticket books (11 for the price of 10) still are being sold and if lans come out onix isofk more than usual we can get back on even keel," the president concluded hopefully. MENLO PARK, Calif.
