Solons Nip Chiefs In Sparkling Play tnd Series Today; 1 Vanni Honored by OSEA " By GLENN CUSHMAV If tonisht's final Northwest league clash between Salem and J'enatchee is half as interesting - last night's excitement - filled .program won by Salem 4-2, local jans will De m lor a real treat. i For Wednesday night's Waters field game was just about the andiest two hour show seen here his season. It combined excep tionally good Daseoail with antics ieeu usually under the 'Big Top,' to entertain the 2988 fans regally at "State Employee's Night." Tonight's game will start at 8 clock and Manager Hugh Luby H the Salems is expected to start Jong John WorUiam," the ' Texas Dative, on the mound. John Morrill, strong armed righthander will go for Wenatchee 'a once proud former league leaders. Trallcy Hilt No. 11 -For baseball, the fans watched righthander Bud Francis, in one of his better outings, hurl the Senators to their second straight .(eries win over the Chiefs. They yf a defensive gem by Mel fcrause and Gene Tanselli that was "out of this world" and watched outfielder Don Frailey power one of Bob Robert's slants high over Hie rightfield fence for his 13th homer. iBut to the antics that made a jeal hit with the state employees . most of which were put on by the employees themselves: is' First the OSEA presented a "plaque to Luby in recognition of - the first half title won by Salem. Then came perhaps the funniest "15 minutes at Waters Park this i aeason, when the OSEA hanged and burned Wenatchee Manager Edo (1 hate snakes) Vannf, a notorious umpire-baiter, in effl- - gy. Nine badly mangled umpires, 'representing those in the yean 1946-54 whom Vannl had purged, 7. danced around the fire at Vanni's 'ghost and the devil joined in the 2fua. Vanni took the program in stride ond was given a new sport shirt and a red handkerchief by the OSEA during the pre-game ieslivi- ties. . -nake Appears The rest of the night was just r about as exciting from other than a baseball standpoint. Mysterious 'firecrackers were con t i n u a 1 1 y booming near Vanni or his Wenat chee charges and a lowly garter anake even got into the game in he second frame. Vanni, who is "death on snakes," rearly stepped on this one which -mysteriously appeared in the third base coaching box in the second inning. The resulting scurry left Vanni about 50 feet away across i the diamond. He's not one to be playing with snakes, it seems, even wthe garter variety. Aside from the horseplay, the "Came would have to be rated on par with the best. Francis had things his own way 6i all but the fifth inning when J.enatchee combined a walk, two ingles and an outfield error to jlcore their two runs. He gave up unly five singles all night. One lard drive by the Chief's Bob Duretto that had "base hit" writ Jen all over it was converted to an "Infield out in the sharpest bit of iaktense seen here this season, frause to Tanselli ' It occurred in the fourth when XPuretto, the loop's leading flick er, slashed a hard grounder over Second base. Salem's Mel Krause rmanaged to spear it, but was lno far off balance to turn and "throw so he flipped the ball to Tahortstop Gene Tanselli coming 'across and Tanselli threw D li bretto out at first base. The pair .made it look easy, but It was a Jteal "fielding gem." , Salem went ahead briefly in the bottom of the fourth inning when Rookie Don Frailey picked one of Sot) Roberts' pitches and hammer ed it high over the right field wall -- a solo homer. It was Frailey 's 33th our bagger of the season. The Senators staged their game -winning rally in the sixth and they Jiad a lot of help from Wenatchee outfielder Chuck Uindgren. Floyd Robinson started it with a single fia center. Then Tanselli beat out bunt. Bill Shields was called out when he bunted and couldn't get out of the way of Chief catcher Joe Rossi. IBrcak Scores Two - Then came the "break" Hie Solons had been waiting lor. Third ta.eman Tommy Agosta boomed a jdrive into rightfield which went Till the way to the fence, scoring loth Robinson and Tanselli. Out fielder Lundgren. in charging to .catch the ball, slipped on the wet tirass and the ball sailed over his -bead. ., Salem added an unexpected in -turance run in the seventh when Francis walked, was sacrificed to second and came all the way home Xn a pair of balks by Roberts. FANFARE Needless to say. Vanni had plenty to tell the umpires about Robert's balk that scored Francis and the nearly J.OOO fans who stayed until the final out had plenty to tell Vanni. The number one state employee, Governor Paul Patterson, was there to use his southpaw slant in throwing out the first ball. He threw a perfect strike to Salem's Harvey hoepf. Wenatrnra (?)
