Salem, Aug. 21 (JPi Harvey Griffin carved his name into Oregon Softball's hall of fame last night by pitching the Pen dlcton Buckaroos to a No-hlt, no run victory over Kennedy's Kids of Salem. The score was 2 to 0 and gave the Buckaroos their first win in the seventh annual state soft ball championship, which op ened yesterday. Results of other games: Ore gon City Elks 0, McMinnville Firemen 5; Square Deal Hard ware of Salem 8, Woodburn 1 and Bonneville 7, Eugene 0. Oregon City had to come from behind to turn back McMInn ville. The Elks spotted the Fire men a four-run lead In the first two Innings. They tied it up in the third however, and then went ahead with a three-run rally in the fifth. Salem's Square Dealers were never headed. They pushed five runs across in the first two in nings, while Henry Singer set Woodburn batters down in al most 1-2-3 order. Griffin was in rare form for the Buckaroos, and whiffed nine out of the first ten batters to face him In the seven-inning game. He allowed no walks. Only one Salem man reached base. He got there on an error but was out on a double play immediately. Summaries included: Pendleton Elks 2 7 1 Kennedy s Kids 0 0 0 Griffin and F. Heathman; E. Buckley, Knight (6) and J.

W) i George Wilhelm. league presi jdent, today ordered the Albany Alcoa and Eugene Athletics to replay last Saturday night's Oregon state league playoff op ener In which Albany registered a 4-3 victory with a two-run rally In the ninth inning, in a game played on the Albany diamond. Manager Monroe Dean of the A's made a formal protest to President Wilhelm after Plate Umpire Buzz Nonken allegedly changed a decision which gave Albany the victory. Dean claim ed that on an attempted stolen base from third to home with two out and the score tied 3 3 Nonken had called Carl Shoots of Albany out on the play and later changed his verdict. Wll helm, who was a spectator at the game said that Nonken's decis ion was in violation to rule 96 in the official baseball rules and that the umpire waited too long (after the Albany players and manager charged him) to change his decision. Wilhelm said the game would be played at Albany next Sun day afternoon with "spec" Burke as umpire-ln-chicf, assist ed on the bases by another Port land umpire as yet unnamed. Albany defeated Eugene 10-2 here Sunday in the second game of the pcr.nant playoff and needs only next Saturday's vic tory to add the state confalon to the Oregon and Washington semi-pro titles already won. A victory for Eugene will neces sitate the playing of a "rubber' contest.- ,8103 TEXAS OLDSTER Y Fresno. Cel..

(UP Ruslness Manager ltiddy Bishop of the Salem Senators of the Western International league said today the Salem team would meet the Portland Beav ers of the Pacific coast league here Monday night In an exhibi tion game. The Senators handed the Beavers an 8 to-7 deft at In an Vandalia. O .

The Texan, wearing a high, stiffly-starched collar, paid no attention to the high wind as he cracked 200 straight to beat the best In the land for trap dom's toughest tiel. It was the only perfect count of the day, and It gave McNelr a champion ship he had tied for in 1920 and 1939, only to lose In shootoffs. IF WITH COMISKEY Newark. N. J., Aug. 21. (V) Clowning Maxie Baer and poke r-faced Pat Comiskey, strapping young Peterson heavy weight, will tangle In Jersey City next month for the right to fight Champion Joe Louis "sometime next summer." The bout was announced In San Francisco last night by Jack Kearns. By Unites! Press The Rainlers took another game from Los Angeles and ex tended their coast league lead ership to UVi games, last night and if anyone thinks the Ser aphs can head off Seattle's pen nant rush, he's been taking fool ish .-wders. Seattle did it the hard way. Trailing by two runs going into the eighth, the Rainier landed on Lee Stipe for three hits, coupled them with Lou String ers two errors and Spencer Har ris' pinch three-run homer and scored four runs, to emerge with a 8 to 4 victory. Hollywood took the third pi see Oakland team 8 to 4 when Frenchy Lhalt singled Bill Dap per home with two out in the eighth inning. Portland may not approach its all-time low of .278 at the season's finish, still a coast lea gue record for a tail-ender, but the Beavers are trying mighty hard. They dropped another to San Diego last night, 8 to 3. Ad Liska was no mystery to the Padres, who assaulted him for 14 hits, including Bill Salkeld's homer and Stan Spetry's triple. Salkeld rent a man home ahead of him. Wally Hebert limited the Beavers to seven hits, one a homer by Herman Reich. San Francisco split a pair with Sacramento, blowing the first game by th outlandish score of 12 to 0, and taking the second, 3 to 1. DEFEAT CHICAGO this exhibition game earlier month.
