Hes a long way from Yankee i Stadium and Warden George C. Alexander still has plenty of strings attached, but "Big Luke' is now a full-fledged member of the mound staff of the Salem Senators of the Western Inter national League. Crosswhite, a model prisoner during the 11 years he s served since being convicted of the murder of State Policeman "Spud" Helms at La Grande, Ore., signed on the dotted line last night with Business Maria ger Al Llghtner and with the warden's consent. The warden didn't go all the way, however. Crosswhite, whose first name In the prison records Is Keith, will be per mitted to carry hit kit of legendary baseball feats outside prison walls Just long enough for the Senator's home appear ances. And there's even a slight catch to that proviso. Not one to let temptation flaunt any of his boys unnecessarily, the war den said Crosswhite could be with the Salem club only for the games In which he would do service on the mound. Whether "Big Luke." lust turned 30, will go great guns in his first pro try Is a matter of some debate. The cons who cheer the prison grays nine think he's terrific and with some cause. He s let his fast ones, powered by a 6-foot-3. 200 pound frame, blare all the semi pro outfits hereabouts plumb silly. He's even beaten the all stars from the Portland air base twice this season. But there's the other side, too. A lot of guys claim a good American Legion Junior team can knock "Big Luke" from the hill every day and twice In a Sunday doublcheader. The Salem club, not In a posi tion to be choosey what with flirting with the league cellar, soon will see who's off base. Dm Mll Trlbuna nt ads.

Aug. 7 JP It Is still a matter for argument, like how hot you like vour break. fast coffee, but the Jacob's beachcombers were pretty much convinced today that there'll be a couple of new bosses ruling the featherweights and light weights as a result of the cuf fing around Allie Stolz handed Chalky Wright in the latest neighborhood beak-busting. Stoli, a curly-haired Newark er loaded with what the beach combers point out as "class," cuffed the current feather weight champion New York State version all over Madison Square Garden's ring for the last five rounds of their fight last night, and was so much the winner that he not only gal loped off with a ten-round deci sion, but says he could have kayooed "The Chalk" in the fi nal heat. And from his showing, for the evident enjoyment of 9,468 of the faithful, Allie Impressed even the oldest inhabitants that the next time he tangles with Llghtwe'ght Champ Sammy An gott. probably around October 2, he'll likely wind up taking the 135-pound crown away from stolid Samuel. The last time they went into their waltz, in May, Sammy came out with a disputed, split decision.

Salem 1 Sox Whip Tigers, 4-1 For Sixth Win in Row Sena tors Defeat Yanks, 6-3. By Judson Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer With practically no fanfare two of the American League clubs suffering from sleeping sickness as the result of staying too near the contagious cellar zone suddenly have shown unex pected signs of life. The Chicago White Sox have won half a dozen games in suc cession in recent days and the Washington Senators have won seven out of nine in the last couple of weeks for what amounts to a sizzling spurt for the Nationals. Last night, led by the irre pressible Bobo Newsom, they set down the New York Yankees 6-3 In a free-hitting affair In which Washington made 14 blows and the Yanks 11. In addition the usually flawless Yanks contributed a couple of errors to Rookie Hank Borowy's second defeat of the season. The White Sox whipped the Detroit Tigers 4-1 with Edgar Smith pitching six hit ball and losing a shutout because Jim Bloodworth belted a home run in the eighth inning. In the only other American League game the Boston Red Sox scored their second straight shutout as Bill Butland. ordi narily used for relief chores, pitched four-hit ball to beat the Philadelphia Athletics 2-0. Cleveland s doubleheader at St. Louis was postponed. Only one game was sched uled In the National League and In this the New York Giants re leased all the pent-up fury of their last three days to over whelm the Brooklyn Dodgers 8-0 with five home runs and a steady seven-hit pitching per formance by Prince Hal Schu macher.

At Portland, the Beavers made seven errors, three each by Second Baseman' Al Wright and Shortstop Lindsey Brown It was the tenth straight loss for the last-place Beavers, who have apparently made their home in the cellar. Joe Hoover led with assault for the Stars on Ed Stutz, Larry Jansen and Al Epperly with four hits in six trips to the plate. Seal chuckers received weak support from their teammates who tapped Bill Thomas for only five safeties. The only game where at least one of the teams did not run the basehit statistics Into two figures was played at San Diego with the Padres winning their third in a row over Sacramento, 3-1.
