THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE ON THE S< ENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — G \TEW \Y TO THE HEART OF N ATI RE S EMPIRE von me : X NI 'M BER 21 Legion Team Shows Form In Ball Games While the Mill City American Le gion junior baseball team has been defeated in both games played so far this season, they have been showing good form and promise to develop into a good team. Bad weather this year has hampered their practice con siderably. Salem 6, Mill City 3 The Mill City Junior Legion team bowed to Post 9, of Salem 3 to 6. The field was sticky and 14 errors marred the game. Salem showed a lack of power and fielding genius which brought them two straight State championships. Mill City has made a definite improvement over last year ar.d despite eight errors looked classy while they sparked three double plays. Dick Crook pitched fine ball and the e-.ght hits he allowed were well scat tered. Jack Melting had a field day collecting Mill City’s two hits and handling 10 chances perfectly in the field. Catching his first regular game, Maurie Bassett turned in stellar job behind the plate. The line score: Salem 020 002 2—6 8 .Mill City ...... 000 201 0—3 2 Loy and Beals; Crook and Bassett. Oregon City 14—Mill City 6 An arrogant Oregon City team breezed by the Mill City juniors 14-6. It was a sloppy game, played on a wet field, before a small crowd. Last year Mill City dropped the opening game to this same team, and turned thetables when the return game was played at Mill City. The line score: Mill City 100 050 0—6 1 Oregon City 325 040 x—14 10 Mill City: Melting, Crook and Bas sett. Oregon City: Eisele, Newton, Hend- r.e and Granquist.
