SPORTS EDITOR'S NOTE
The American game of base
ball has taken England by
storm, both literally and fig
uratively, since the arrival of
the Yanks. To the reserved
Englishman, the vociferousness
of the opposing players and
the fans no doubt seems odd
and here is a story that came
over the wire thai we found
amusing
An Englishman's view of base
ball appeared today in a clipping
mailed to Heppner, Ore., by
Frank Hale, a Britisher who
spent several years in Heppner.
The sports story, carried by
The Associated Press, taken
from a recent issue of- Hale's
home town paper at Leighton
Buzzard, England:
"Baseball has come to Leigh-ton-Buzzard,
and judging by the
immense crowd the game drew
to the Bellclose on Wednesday
evening, it is likely to be popu
lar. "The USA service teams, call
ing themselves the Boston Red
Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers,
played a seven innings match
which was full of big hitting,
spectacular catching, noisy bar
racking and occasional argu
ments with the umpire, punctu
ated with loud speaker comments
by an American officer. There
was, in fact, a total absence of
the leisurely serenity of an Eng
lish cricket match.
"The game differs in many
other ways from cricket. The
pitcher throws the bell et ex
press speed toward the batter,
making it rise, fall or swerve
at will in an attempt to cross
the home base plate anywhere
between the striker's shoulder
and knee without being struck.
The rules are designed to pre
vent the stonewalling and care
ful play of which cricket crit
ics complain. ..The bat is round
and the batter is out if he fails
to hit three correctly thrown
balls. Thus it becomes a game
of low scoring and many in
nings. The moment the batter
hits the ball into the longfield,
. he throws down the bat and
runs to the first base 30 yards
way and another player takes
his place. The outfielders re
turn the ball with amazing
speed and accuracy and the
making of a round of the four
bases, which counts as a run, is
difficult.
"A curious feature of the
game to English minds was the
way in which the fielding side
spouted encouragement to their
pitcher and derided the batter.
This by-play is regarded as a
morale factor in winning the
game. Most of the Wednesday's
players have played semi-profes-sionally
or professionally in
America. The Dodgers' captain,
Johnny Green, played in the
American Southern league at 16,
and held his place for three
years.
"The Red Sox batted first
and in their first innings
scored two runs from a terrific
hit by Hogan (center field)
which got another man home.
Radel, fielding deep in the left
field for the Dodgers, made,
strenuous efforts in the three
succeeding innings to level up
the score, but clever field
work stopped their plans. In
the fourth and sixth innings
the Dodgers drew level, but
fierce hitting by Bradley for
the Sox made the score, 5-2,
The Dodgers went in again to
get these three runs or, bet
ter still, four but tricky pitch
ing by Blackwood for the Sox,
and smart field work com
bined to make the final score,
Sox 5, Dodgers 2. Brilliant
work was done by the pitchers
and catchers standing behind
the batter."
but we have some candidates out
this way, nevertheless . . . This

Grid Coach Favors
Another Change
In Football Rules
ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 1 (JP)
Carl Snavely, Cornell coach, is
in favor of adopting the profes
sional rule that permits a back
to continue going after he has
been tackled even if his hand or
knee has hit the ground.
"It adds a lot of first downs
to a team's attack and makes
for better continuity," ho ex-plains.

Earl Maone Set to Meet
Tony Ross in Mat Opener
The opening go at the armory
Friday night will bring together
Meanie Tony Ross and a new
comer to northwest mat circles,
Earl Malone. Malone hails from
Toledo, O., and is reportedly a
clean, aggressive grappler. This
should make an interesting con
trast to Tony who prefers to
give his opponents the old busi
ness in order to gain his deci
sions. Earl has been around,
however, and should know how
to protect himself against
Tony's rugged tactics.
This bout rounds out an a-i
card that features a return bat
tle between Ernie Piluso and
the "Grey Mask," as the head
line event. Ernie came within
a hair's breadth of downing the
Mask last Friday and this time
may turn the trick. (J course,
close ones only count in horse
shoes but Piluso's previous
match with the hooded heel
gave him valuable experience
as to how to handle his oppo
nent and what to expect, and
SJammiri Sammy Snead Back
On Trail of Fairway Gold
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1 (JP)
Ex-Gob Slammin' Sammy Snead
says "with a little streak of
luck" he's "liable to win some
p'n" on the winter golf circuit.
He doesn't believe, two years
in the navy will handicap him in
getting BacK into form.
"Course, it'll take a while,"
Snead said he peeled off a four
under par 66 in a Sunday exhibi
tion match here.
Asked if he expected to make
Inroads on the Byron Nelson
Harold (Jug) McSpaden combine,
Sammy replied:
"I used to beat Nelson and Mc
Spaden sometimes, I don't know
how come I couldn't do it again."
He added, however, that "any
dub can beat me sometimes."
McSpaden, who has quit as
professional at the Philadelphia
country club to serve as national
public relations and field repre
sentative for the Palm Beach
Goodall company, a New York
clothing firm, said he will join
Snead and Nelson on the winter
tour.i
Snead's return to golf, Jug
commented, "is what the game
really needs, more and stronger
competition."
McSpaden, one of the nation's
leading golfers, said "it is with
extreme regret that I leave the
country club but the offer was
too good to turn down."
that may be all Ernie needs to
score a triumph over the mask
ed villain.
In the semi-final clambake
Paavo Katonen will meet the
one and only Bulldog Jackson,
who prefers to be called Yukon
Jake for reasons best known to
himself, has little respect for
any of his opponents and will
probably give the clever Finn
a very, very exciting evening.
This card will begin at 8:30
p. m. sharp and rassling fans
should be on th? dot so as not
to miss any of the thrills and
spills that will undoubtedly take
