Pagrer Z Section' 2 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Salem, Oregon, Friday, May 3, 195? .By Don Fairm CHISOX, BRAVES STAY IN LEAD 4 sr , Capital Journal Sports Editor A note from Don Kellett, General Manager of the Baltimore Colts, reveals that the National Football League club is "definitely not going to play any preseason game on the Coast this year, but there is always a possibility for future years." ... It wouldn't surprise, however, if Portland pro grid promoter Harry Glickman came up f!T ' " jTStZ"" " with the Colts in 1958. 'f'fM The draw would be a nat f fS"wrr ural, particularly if the op- jfjif ponent would be the Los An- : fk"$t, - -geles Rams, with four Oregon & hnir In actinn Hdnrnn Qh,u and Jack Patera of the Colts, f ' 'tBiw-j and Norm Van Brocklin and 1, fTtL-: ' 7 Ult.ll Ldugum iy Ui . . . i vv v Just to see a couple of local I ' boys duel at quarterback in L, an exniDiuon game wouia oe well worth an evening s look. L. Another NFL learn that could find fertile preseason territory in Portland would naturally be the Washington Redskins, with Oregon State s Sam Baker and Oregon's Dick James on hand to juice up c the box office. . . . Since George Preston Marshall, BUNNY MASON Skin owner, drum-beater and Defends Open Title debater par excellence, has never been known to look a gift dollar in the serial number, their appearance in the Northwest could also be more than a wild dream. Next Monday through Wednesday, Salem Golf Club pro Bunny Mason goes for his second straight pot of gold in the Oregon Open, being held at Portland's Waverly Country Golf Club. . . Bunny, of course, won the title in 1956 when his 283 topped the field at the Eastmorcland layout, also in Portland, This year's $2,400 prize money will be divided down the line, but the wincr picks up $500 for himself. . . . Other local hopefuls include Bob Prall, who couldn't keep the cash if he won as he's an amateur, and Paul Sundin, Mason's assistant. . . Bunny feels that the Waverly course is comparable to Eastmorcland, with the former "having more traps" but shorter than the 1958 site. He figures that a 286 score will win if it's rainy weather, and if the sun shines, a 283 should stand up. , . Among those with the best chance to unseat Mason are Harold West, Bob McKendrick and Ray Honsberger. Two ex-Salem preppers are among the batting leaders for the Oregon Frosh baseball team. South's Dale Jones Is hitting .368, while North's Ed Syring has a .348 mark. Syring, playing second base, is the co-leader in runs batted in with eight, while Jones, in the outfield, has seven. . . . Aided by their efforts, tho Ducklings are still undefeated going inio Saturday's game with the OSC Rooks at Cor vallis, , Although the Salem Senators have committed 17 errors in the first six games,, they have managed at least one double play per outing, which must prove something. . . . Tom Mulcahy, Lewislon pitcher, whom the Solons knocked from the mound, Wednesday night, is the baseball coach at Gonzaga. He is an ex-Zag basketball lctlerman, too, and compiled a 9-3 record for Spokane last season. Mul cahy won't be ready for full-time duly with Lewiston until the college spring trcm is over, May 28. Eastern Oregon College, in the Oregon Collegiate Con ference, has reportedly offered tho football coaching posi tion to Joe Proulx, the Redmond head man. Proulx, how is said to be interested in tho Prlnevllle post vacated when Keith DeCourcey moved to The Dalles. . . . Earlier, EOCE almost lost Archie Dunsmoor from its coaching staff. He was all set to take a junior high job in Eugene, before the LaGrande school came through with a mighty healthy salary increase. If a baseball manager ever comes up with a defense for the base on balls, the world is his plum. . . . Willamette Coach Johnny Lewis Is the latest to sing the blues about those free rides to first. He figures that walks cost Wil- ' lamette two games, on its recent four-loss trip, and con tributed grealcly to a third defeat. . . . "We just can't lose any more games, now, if we hope to stay in the North west Conference race," is the way Lewis summed up I he jaunt. Because of a schedule mixup, Willamette and Pacific meet in only one game at Bush Park, Saturday, instead of the original two. . . . This was Pacific's year to host the Bearcats twice in baseball, although the schedule called for WU to be at home for a pair against the Badgers. To correct this oversight, the same two teams will play at Pacific on Monday, and again on Friday, May 10.
