Ernie Putiso did Just what he
aid he would do to Set. Bob
Kenaston in the armory grap
pling ring last night. He dish
ed out the same brand of dirt
the Cold Hill toughle displayed,
nd when it was all over Ernie
had his revenge for that loss
to Kenaston last week.
It took the popular Portland
flash 1414 minutes to dispose
cf Kenaston, and it was a slam
bang, roush and tumble affair
from beginning to end. With
the falls standing one apiece
after 11V4 minutes of action.
Piluso started to work in earnest
and three minutes later the
match as history.
Three thundering sonnenbergs
to Kenaston s mid-section and a
resounding body slam, followed
by a press, gave Ernie the third
and deciding tumble. Just be
fore the end Kenaston applird
what he termed his Gold Hill
swivel and had Ernie in a bad
way, but Referee Earl Yoakley
figured the swivel wasn't a
swivel, but a choke hold, in
stead, and he gave Piluso one
minute in which to recuperate.
Ernie did, and when he was
ready he wound up the thing
in short order.
A rapid-fire fistic attack
which Kenaston started but
couldn't finish, led to Piluso's
first fall In eight minutes. After
Ernie got through battering
Kenaston from pillar to post
he fired a couple of sonnenbergs

and pinned the Gold Hlller with
a flying tackle and a press.
Kenaston came back three
and a half minutes later to even
the score. First he rubbed Pi
luso's eyes along the rope, then
he slapped on his so-called
swivrl and Piluso, apparently
with his breathing cut off, was
ivmg io K i vn up.
The middle event between
Dude Chick and Prince Selaki
M e h a 11 k i s lasted only two
rounds as the big cowboy hoist
ed the Prince to his broad
shoulders and gave him the
lariat spin after a series of fly
ing headlocks. It was a fast
and furious clean match, with
Mehalikis taking the Initiative
in the second.
George Wagner, newcomer
from Texas, grabbed a two out
of three fall victory from
Frank le Clemens in the opener,
and looked very good in doing
so.
Wagner, a clean, scientific
matman, took the first tumble
in the first round with a ham
merlock lift, a body slam and
a press, with Clemens coming
back to tie the score in the
third with a bottoms-up body
scissors,
A terrific dropkick to the
chin, followed by a grapevine,
gave Wagner the deciding fall
In the fourth round.

BEAVERS ENGAGE
By the Associated Press.
It may sound silly, on the
basis of so short an acquaint
ance, but San Francisco fans
are hailing Froilnn Fernander
as the savior of the Seals all
because of one day's play In the
Pacific Coast league.
There Is little question, how
ever, but that the work of
Shortstop Fernandez, recently
of Yakima, will brace the Seals
mightily fnr the onslaught of
Los Angeles tonight.
While "Nanny" Fernandez
and the Angels' slugging Novi
koff lure customers into Seals
stadium, the league-leading
Ralnlers entertain San Diego.
Portland's cellar barons play
host to Sacramento, and Holly

Billy Hulen Says;
Rare Play Seen
When McDonald
Struck by Pitch
Fans were mystified and
Manager Tommy Hawkins and
Shortstop Alex McDonald were
considerably miffed Sunday
when Umpire Al Drolette re
fused to wave McDonald to
first base after he was hit In
the small of the back by one
of Jack and Jill Pitcher Norm
Leltheiser's right-handed
heaves.
In order to ciear up the case,
here is what rule 46, section 4
of the baseball code says: 'The
batsman becomes a baserunner
if, without making any attempt
to strike at the ball, his
person or clothing be hit by a
pitched ball unless. IN THE
OPINION OF THE UMPIRE,
HE PLAINLY MAKES NO EF
FORT TO GET OUT OF THE
WAY OF THE PITCHED
BALL, in which case the umpire
shall call a strike or ball."
A footnote to the rule fur
ther states that "if the pitch
er tosses a slew ball and the
baiter deliberately permits
the ball to hit him. the um
pire may use his judgment
and not give the batter first
base by calling the pitch
strike or a ball."
That was the rule Umpire
Drolette was following, for In
his opinion McDonald didn't
make a plain effort to get out
of the way. We talked to Alex
after the game though, and he
swore by all that's holy he tried
to rtiake the pitch miss him.
"Leitheiser had been coming
In there with a little dinky
curve that broke over the
plate." Alex explained, "and I
thought this pitch was another
one of them. At the last moment
I saw it wasn't a curve and
tried to get out of the way,
but I wasn't quick enough. But
I did make an honest effort to
get out of the way."
It appeared the same to this
writer and to most of the fans
and players, but Drolette didn't
think so, and that was that.
Manager Hawkins entered a
mild protest, which was all the
play called for, in view of the
fact that, at the time, the Cra
ters were ahead, 12 to 1, and
absolutely nothing depended on
it.
Occurrences of this kind
are very rare In bas.balt.
Batters many times intention
ally l.t a pitch hit th.m to
get transportation to first
base, but umpires are loathe
to Invoke the rule because of
the possibility the batter
DIDN'T g.t in the wey en
purpose. In other words, the
batter is given the benefit of
the doubt at all times.
Comes a letter from Fred G.
Roper, secretary and business
manager of the Grants Pass
Merchants, on the recent Cra
ter managerial shakeup. At
Fred's request, the letter Is
printed in full:
"Just a line in due respect
for Hoosier (Hoffnrdl. It seems
to me. after reading your ar
ticle, you are riding Hoosier
very hard for not using a little
baseball strategy In the ninth
inning (against Grants Pass last
Wednesday night) !n not pulling
Haynes and putting in Rego to
get Woods.
"However, we were watching
the move and had a heavy-hitting
righthander to put In to
!F1W
oum KmmZmmmmP
bat for Woods. I don't think
Rego could have made any
change, as he was going in cold,
and may not have done any
better than Haynes.
"Why didn't Rego go in?
Don't put ell the blame or.
Hoosier. He has pulled you
through the first half success
fully. I'm wondering if you
expect to win a ball game on
three hits while the opposition
gets 12 hits. However, we will
be there Wednesday night again
and try to repeat the same dose
"Wishing your new man
agir, Hawkins, the best of
success, but let him run the
ball club and not have half-a-dosen
telling him how to
run it. Hawkins is a brainy
boy and will give you good
service."
In answer to this. President
C. H. Davis of the Medford Ath
letic association points out that
Rego wasn't "cold," that he
had been warming up for two
innings prior to the situation
in question in the ninth Inning,
and that nobody had ever inter
fered with Hoffard in running
the team.

THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNER
Released by the North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Philadelphia, June 25. The I
Republican convention is scene
of such fantastic confusion that ,
the more orderly-minded dele-1
gates are wishing for the old :
days of the bosses, "when you
at least knew where you were." I
All Republicans are consumed
with longing to climb back on
the pay-roll; every Republican
has a different plan for accom
plishing the grand objective.
Out of the confusion, how
ever, a rough pattern is slowly
merging. It is now possible to
describe the situations, if not
to gauge the precise chances, of
the leading candidates. Taking
the candidates in the order of
the current excitement about
them, the pattern is as follows:
Tho boom "of "wondell L, WUlkto
la still Increasing, and tho WUUle
mm is still on every tongue. But
Wlllkte U not merely larking In sup
porters trained In professional con
Tentlon OTK&nlzatlon. which la an art
as specialized as sheep-herding. The
strength of his boom Is also gen
erating a correspondingly strong op
position. '
Leading tho opposition, as a mat
ter of course, are tho adherents of
the other chief candidates, Thomas
E. Dewey and Robert A. Taft. They
are calling Wlllklo every name in
creation, from war-monger to Wall
street man, and they are exerting
all their energy to prevent the awing
of delegates to him.
Besides this expected attack, fire
on Wlllklo Is alao coming from two
other quarters. In certain farm and
far western states, where tho elector
ate has not yet decided that the
European situation makes all other
Issues as obsolete as prohibition,
WUlkto's utilities connection ts caus
ing serious trouble. Tho fact that
he regards WUlkto as sn agent of
"big business' is tho resl reason, for
example, of Alf M. London's distaste
for him.
London la backing house leader.
Joseph W. Martin, for tho nomina
tion. Meanwhile Martin, former Pres
ident Herbert Hoover and other po
tential nominees who hope the lead
era will kill each other off and cause
tho convention to turn to them, are
doing their best, along with the more
conspicuous candidates, to organize
antl-WUlklo feeling.
Martin has decided to try to hold
onto the entire Massachusetts dele
gation, where Winkle had more than
20 votea, and undoubtedly had a
hand in arranging tho antl-WUlklo
caucus of farm and far western con
gressmen. Hoover Is using stl his
powerful Influence to kill Wlllklo
off. slthoxtgh In the days when
Wlllklo was not booming ho used to
speak of him In warmly favorable
terms.
The question for Wlllklo really is.
therefore, whether he csn get to
gether oomo kind of last minute or
ganisation, and whether he can keep
his boom going despite the checks
It Is now meeting. He has several
aces in the hole, rich as an ex
pected endorsement by the conven
tion keynoter. Governor Harold Stas
sen, of Minnesota., and he has the
Impetus of success on his side. No i

an Army Post Mystery-Romance by Virginia Hanson
starting in this paper Today

h. is still a good bt.
If Robert A. Taft, of Ohio, bad
just a little mora of tho dash and
personal magnetism which are Wen
dell Wtllkles chief assets, ho would
be a pretty sure thine. Ax Tait locks
th talent for putting himself over
with a bang, ho must rely on an
organisation which Is a real miracle
of efficiency and completeness. At
least one Taft representative came
to Philadelphia with every delega
tion. Taft headquarters get continu
ous reports on every delegation's do
ings, and take tho appropriate ateps
promptly and effectively.
Wlllklo has mad some trouble for
Taft already. Tho Texan, for in
stance, have shown Wlllkle-lte lean
ings, although long regarded as un
der contract to Taft. Certain second -choice
delegates, whom tho Taft
camp has hoped for after they had
fulfilled other obligations, hsve open
ly jumped aboard tho Wlllklo band
wagon. But so far Taft has lost
none of his real strength, and ho
la still in aa admirable position to
pick up support if the stop-Wtllkie
movement succeeds. Men like Lon
don and Hoover do not regard him
with any tremendous enthusiasm.
The farm atatera and far westerners
will never leap onto roofs to cheer
for him. But they are not actively
against him. which may prove a
great gain when tho time comes.
Tho Taft strategy, therefore. Is to
go right on organizing, to help tho
stop-Willkte movement but not to
press for any extraordinary first bal
lot showing, and to hope that the
convention will eventually come to
Taft as the best general choice. Be
cause of his organisation and his
availability. Taft Is the favorite of
many of tho wise-money boy a
The unfortunate Thomas E. Dewey
Is not yet out of tho running, but
there Is a distinct note of despera
tion In the claims of tho Dewey
camp. The Dewey otratefry la to get
every vote which can be begged, bor
rowed or stolen for the first bsllot.
In order to start the Dewey band
wagon going again.
In some states, such as New Jer
sey, delegates have been practically
aand-baiged to prevent desertions. If
this wild grabbing and pushing pro
duces a Dewey vote of much above
400 when the roll-call comes, the
strategy may possible succeed. If not,
the second ballot will show Dewey
losing so many supporters that his
presidential aspirations will be at an
end.
The mere mention of tho word
"deal" provokes Dewey to such
showing of eloquent indignation as
would do him credit In the court
room. Dcsls, however, are not so for
eign to the Dewey nature that ho
was unable to suggest to Wlllkle. be
fore the Wlllkle boom bern. thst
Wlllkte take a place in the Dewey
cabinet In return for a pro-Dewey
announcement.
If Dewey is put out of the run
ning for tho presidency, he may be
willing to throw bis remaining
strength to Taft In exchange for the
vice presidential nomination. Taft.
who would never agree to such an
arrangement with Dewey in first
place, could only benefit by putting
Dewey In second place and thus this
deal la possible.
Meanwhile, behind tho figures of
the three leading candidates, there
also lurks another possibility. The
confusion In Philadelphia may well
end in a deadlock, and If there Is
s deadlock the admlrera of Hoover,
who are many and ardent, are Ukely
to put their man over. That Is the
current betting Wlllklo and Taft
tied for favorite. Dewey third, and
Hoover fourth on tho books.
