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.

TO REPLAY GAME
Eugene, Aug. 21. 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.-

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.
