start at dear old WU." . . .
The SUverton Red Sox, who
have been raiding other Ore
gon State league ball clubs
right and left, have plucked
Arland "Babe" Schwab from
the nest of the Klamath Falls
Pelicans. . . The Sox, who are
able to offer much more lucra

team that stacks up as the
strongest In the circuit and
one that will open the second
half race Sunday almost odds
en favorites to capture the

Chicago play here, which Is too
long to go without a ball game
. . . the Craters travel to Albany
this week-end, and to Crescent

Cornell Frosh Score Lone
Win for East Huskies
Cop Varsity In 18:15.3
By Sid Fader
Poughkeepsle, N. Y., June 26.
W) It probably comes as no
surprise to you to learn that,
for competitive thrills, the an
nual intercollegiate regatta
packs about as much punch
these days as target practice at
the Empire State building with
over-ripe tomatoes as ammuni
tion. With rowing as major in
dustry of the far west, probably
second only to making movies,
It s getting so you know before
hand It'll be either Washington
or California In a breeze. And
when the Huskies of Washing
ton rowed off and hid from the
others along about dusk last
evening, it was about as aston
ishing as finding a knife, fork
and spoon at your place when
you sit down to dinner.
With California bouncing In
with the Junior varsity affair
this year, the east's only con
solation was Cornell's triumph
In the freshman two miles. And
this was accomplished probably
only because the Huskies and
the Bears didn't bring freshmen
boatloads with them.
At the finish the Huskies
were more excited about what
was coming up for dinner than
they were about the win. They
rowed over to the sun-steaming
Judges' boat and only wanted
to know what their time was.
Just for the record, it was 18
minutes, 53.3 seconds.
Back of the two far western
craft came, in order, Cornell,
Syracuse, Princeton, Wisconsin,
Rutgers, Massachusetts Tech,
and hard luck Columbia, whose
No. 2 man, Gene Remmer, suf
fered a cramp at about the half
way mark.
FLY POLE
The landing of a 22-pound
Chinook salmon with a light fly
pole Is the proud record of Mrs.
Harry Goold of 038 Whitman
avenue, who, with her husband.
were guests at T. V. Scott's
sportsmen's lodge at Gold Beach
arly this week.
Mrs. Goold, after accepting a
challenge from her husband to
an angling duel at the mouth
of the Rogue river Tuesday
morning, took Mr. Goold's fav
orite fly rod and proceeded to.
catch the salmon in less than
30 minutes. In the meantime,
Mr. Goold failed to bring up a
fish with his regulation heavy
tackle, but caught the second
salmon some 40 minutes later.
T. V. Scott, part owner of the
Scott and Pringle Packing com
pany near Phoenix, recently
opened the lodge at Gold Beach,
and Issues regular "tips" on the
salmon runs and general fishing
conditions.
Smithies Scarce
Fort Riley, Kas. (U.PJ There
wasn't a blacksmith among the
thousands of young soldiers In
ducted into the army at Fort
Riley. But the army has to have
horses and horses have to have
shoes. So a course for black
smiths was started and more
than 73 enlisted men were
trained for three months In the
technique of shoeing horses.

Ruth Hits 'Em Longer but
Cobb Cops Golf Match, 3-2
Newton, Mass., June 28. W) Ty Cobb may have first blood
on Babe Ruth, his fellow baseball hall-of-famer. as far as their
"grudge" golf matches are concerned but the latter la biding
his time and he doea not expect to be kept waiting over
long. "What else can you expect i
when you can't sink two-foot
putts," Ruth philosophized yes
terday when he took a 3 and
S drubbing from the Georgia
Peach in the first of their char
ity exhibition aeries here at
Commonwealth. "But watch me
take him when we get to Fresh
Meadow In Flushing, N. Y., on
Friday. There's a course that's
built for my game."
Cobb, apparently unaccustom
ed to playing golf before gal
leries as large as 2,000, appear
ed dazzled by his triumph.
which he gained by wiping out
an early two-hole deficit while
going on to put together a
medal of 81, nine over par,
against Ruth's 83.
"I never have competed un
der such pressure," Cobb ex
plained. "During my 24 years
in baseball, I never had to bear
down as hard as I did to beat
the Babe. Well, I've got some
thing to tell my children; I fin
ally have beaten Ruth at some
thing." Scores Yesterday
