Senators to Battle
Visalia Again Today
Salem Tops Las
Vegas for 5th
Spring Win
WASCO. Calif. (Spcrial)-Man-ager
Bill Brenner will be bringing
back seven pitchers instead o six,
and six veterans instead of five,
when the Salem Senators leave for
home Saturday.
That came about because of the
surprise acquisition of Willie .Neal,
veteran leflhander whom the Sen
ators purchased yesterday from
Plainview, Tex., of the Class B
Southwestern League where he had
a 1 5-6 record last year.
Neal stood out in a five-inning
effort last night against Las Ve
gas, allowing only two hits. The
Senators won their filth spring ex
hibition, 4-3, against three defeats.
Price Came Down
Brenner explained that Plainview
had been asking "a lot of dough"
for Neal "but we worked around
until we got him for a reasonable
price." He looked "awfully good"
last night.
This news was accompanied by
the hint that I.ee Franklin's pitch
ing arm has developed troubles.
He had been counted on as one
of the six on the Senator staff.
Northwest taague allows only
five veterans but Brenner said that
one, probably a veteran pitcher,
may be sold before Salem breaks
camp here.
Released after last night's game
was Boh Brown, rookie catcher.
This leaves Harvey Koepf and on
Hanggie. ,
- George In Today
George Malilc, shortstop, prob
ably won't come down because of
his studies at Willamette Univer
sity but will join the club at home.
Andy George is due in today to
start pitching.
The Salem rookie outfielder,
Jerry Gregg, was to leave today
for Fort Lewis to get his discharge
from the Army.
The remaining spring schedule:
Visalia here, tonight; Las Vegas
at Wasco Thursday night; against
Yakima at Porlerville Pnday
night: against Redding all stars
Sunday en route home.
The Senators compiled a 4-1 lead
by the end of the fourth inning
as pitcher Neal gave up only a
pair of hits to the Arizona-Mexico
League squad.
Neal was succeeded by a left
handed rookie, Jean Skidgel, in
Ihc sixth frame, and the Wrang
lers promptly reached him for two
runs, lie walked four. But he con
tained the Las Vegas nine the rest
of the way and gave up only five
hits in his four-inning stint.
Long Home Run
It was the hilling of Rob Camp
bell, Karl Kuehl and F.rv Knorzcr
which paved the way to the Salem
victory. The Senators posted a run
In the second inning on hits by
Kuehl and Campbell, who con
tinues to lead Salem batsmen in
the "Grapefruit League".
In the fourth frame, Knorzer
clubbed a 400-foot two-run home
run over the left center field fence.
and Kuehl and Campbell again
combined to score the Senators'
third run of the inning. Kuehl had
a single and Campbell a double.
Kuehl and Campbell each gar

Witte Wins Again; Tag Team
Decision Goes to Mean Guys
John Witte has found profes
sional wrestling to be considerably
different from the same sport in
college, but he made his all-round
strength and know-how pay off
Tuesday night at tho Salem Ar
mory for a victory over Bull Mon
tana in the card's special event.
A big crowd turned out to see
Witte gain the triumph as Mon
tana lost on a foul. It pleased the
patrons no little
Witte, a football All-American
and a champion wrestler for Ore
gon Stale, dropped Montana with
a flying tackle, but missed on a
second try. Montana then simply
stepped on Witlc's throat and re
fused to get off when ordered by
Pierre DoGlane,
Montana was disqualified and
Witlc had made his Salem debut a
success.
In the main event, Hcrbie Free
man and Luigi Mnccra, Northwest
tag team champions, lost on dis
qualilicalion to Gentleman Ed
Francis and Wild Bill Savage.
Luther Lindscy, who had no part
in the mainer, was the cause of
Ihc disqualification. When Francis
and Savage were combining lo
rough up Freeman, Lindscy hopped
into the ring, clobbered both Fran
cis and Savage and the place was
in an uproar.

Bearcats' Lucas Holds Oregon
Hitlcss 8 Innings,. But Caves In
Brad Lucas, a junior pitcher
from Grants Pass, nursed a no
hit, no-run game for eight innings
Tuesday at McCulloch field, then
went into a tailspin as the Univer
sity of Oregon crushed his bid for
fame and tromped the Willamette
Bearcats, 9-2.
Until the awful ninth inning,
Lucas had faced only 26 men and
not a Duck reached further than
second base. But at the start of
the ninth, Oregon pitcher Ron
Whitaker, who should have felt
some sympathy for what Lucas
was trying to do, poked out a
single to end the no-hitter.
One batter later, the game was
tied at 2-2, for Len Read hit a
home run. Singles then came from
Wimp Hastings and Jim Pifhcr.
and Hastings subsequently scored
on an error.

FIRST IN RUBBER!
Sports Report
By CHUCK JOICE
One of the best features of the 1957 Northwest league schedule Is
that it has the non-holiday Mondays blank.
Peculiarly, enough, one reason this is such a treat is that they
won t all be idle. It s great to have
a night of rest for everyone con
cerned and it's most desirable
to have that coincide with the
Coast League's off night, thus
making some good exhibition
games possible.
It's said that Seattle's Ras
ters and the San Diego Padres
will put Into Waters Park for
exhibition games this year
which will be some very tasty
frosting on what looks to be a
hearty schedule right dovn the
line.
With six teams in the league the
schedule can be balanced. No
more will we have those long,
costly layoffs as the odd team on
the week's schedule as was the
case when Spokaner was around
as a seventh team.
The team will play the popular
snlil WPlr with nnn Ipam horn for
single games Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday and another moving
in for Friday, Saturday and a Sun
day doublehcadcr. At other times
a home stand will begin on Friday
night and conclude the following Thursday night with the Monday
oil: ' -
SALEM OLDSTERS BEST SINCE THE OLD DAYS
The schedule, thus, appears very good and, certainly, the reports
out of California have been most encouraging as to the team. Seattle
has dropped off some very promising kids and Bill Brenner. Vern
Kindsfather, Bob Duretto, Jack Dunn and George Matilc make up the
Dcst nuccius oi veterans since tar back into the Western International
league days.
So, about all that remains Is for the fans to gobble up those
season tickets which are so handy for steady-viewing family or the
guy who just wants to come and go when he pleases for a few
Innings at a time.
And in case collection day, April 15, was too rugged they're
available on time.
ROSBURG, ROBINSON AND PETERSON GOING GREAT
-Some familiar names got off to a very good start in the Pacific
Coast league this year. Ex-Senators who did O.K. were Floyd Robin
son wun an opening aay nomcr lor san uiego, Buaay reierson snow
ing his usual scrap as the Vancouver shortstop and Russ Rosburg of last
year's) Salem team with Sacramento.
Rosburg had thrce-for-five opening day and followed up with
a couple of home runs over the weekend. It looks like he's made
the grade as left fielder for the. Sacs.
The news that we enjoyed most .was that concerning Mickey Coen,
the former Willamette pitcher and football linebacker. He may or
may not be ready to hang on in the PCL after a 17-9 season with
Amanita in the Class A Western league last year, but he's off to a
big start.
TOUGH TO IMPROVE ON COEN'S PACE
The former Roscburg kid worked four scoreless innings of relief
in a lost cause against Seattle on opening day. Then, last Saturday,
he took the hill against the Rainiers for innings 8 through 11. The
Suds picked up but two hits off him and nary a run. So, when Nippy
Jones hit one out of the lot in the Uth off Larry Janscn, Coen had
himself a 1-0 record ind a zero ERA in eight innings.
Coen, by the way, took his regular turn against the fabulous
