Beavers Face
Crest Of Oak
Win Rampage
By The Associated Press
The winning Oakland baseball
combination evolved out of Man
ager Casey Stengel's trials for
more power at the plate attacks
the lowly Portland Beavers to
day with an eye toward tramp
ling the San Francisco Seals in
the percentages.
With 20 victories In the last
27 starts, the Oaklanders were
in a first-place deadlock with the
Seals, and Stengel still had an
other trial to make.
The latest addition is Pitcher
Francis Shea, on option from
the New York Yankees. The
Oakland manager said he
planned to put him on the mound
at Portland to augment the staff
of hurlers which last week tamed
the Hollywood Stars.
Ambrose Palica pitched the
Oakland club to two wins last
week, Ralph (Buck) Buxton was
successful in two relieving jobs,
and Charley Gassaway, Rugger
Ardizoia and Cotton Pippen each
took a victory with help.
The Seals, who dropped their
all-season lead but battered Los
Angeles to climb back into a
first-place tie last week, enter
tain fourth-place San Diego.
Manager Frank (Lefty) O'Doul
selected Cliff Melton to pitch
against Pepper Martin's choice
of ex-Marine Cletus (Boots) Pof
fenberger for San Diego.
Hollywood, topping the second
division despite the setback from
Oakland, takes on the Los An
geles Angels, who stand two and
a half games behind the two
leaders.
The Sacramento Solons play
the Rainiers at Seattle. Both
clubs are twelve and a half games
from the top.
Portland Sends
Reynolds To Salem
PORTLAND, May 21 VP) The
Portland Beaver baseball club
yesterday signed Vern Reynolds,
former Lincoln high school
athlete, and sent him to the
Salem Senators of the Western
International league.
Reynolds played with the San
Diego and Hollywood Pacific
Coast league clubs last season
and was with the Texas league
at San Antonio earlier this year.
He entered organized baseball in
1940 with the Twin Falls club of
the Pioneer league.

Hollywood Says
Manager Not Cut
HOLLYWOOD, May 21 (PI
The Hollywood baseball club
says there is nothing to the ru
mors that Manager Buck Fausett
is on the way out and that Hollis
Thurston, one-time major league
pitcher and later a scout, is
about to take over the handling
of the Stars.
Some of the close observers
insist that this may be Fausett's
last week. His club lost al seven
games against the fast-traveling
Oakland Acorns of Casey Sten
gel last week. Tonight they start
a seven-game series against Los
Angeles at Gilmore field.
Business Manager Oscar Rei
chow said the board of directors
had not met to consider dropping
the 37-year-old Fausett, who fin
ished last with a nondescript out
fit last season, his first at tha
helm.
Linn County Fire
Mop-Up Continues
SALEM, May 21 (yP) Fire
fighting crews were mopping up
today the fire in the Thomas
creek section of Linn county,
which broke out Saturday and
burned 600 acres of cutover
land, State Forester N. S. Rog
ers said today.
The fire destroyed about 1,
000,000 feet of felled and
bucked timber. It was fought by
200 loggers from the Roaring
River and Snow Peak logging
companies. The fire, largest in
the state this year, is seven miles
west of ocio.
Rogers said the fire is the
only one in the state, and that
the break in the weather greatly
lessened fire danger.

Last Monday, a week atjo.
Clurence Cliamplln, SP special
investigator, wos trolling off
Rocky Point In the upper lake,
had his rod secured In the boat
and the lino In the water.
Suddenly a big one hit the
hook, yanked the pole loose and
out into the
water before
C h a m p 1 1 n
could grab it,
and took off,
trailing the
line, reel and
rod behind
him.
The last
Champlin saw
the fish was
heading north,
under forced
draft, trailing
the tackle be
hind him.
Next day.
Burke was trolling in the lake
couple of miles above the spot
where Champlm's fish and line
got away, and he hooked the
same baby. He pulled it in, then
pulled in the trailing tackle,
still complete and unbroken. The
rainbow still had Champlin's
Wilson spinner in its mouth and
had taken Burke's Andy Reekor.
Meanwhile. Champlin had
told Mr. Wells at the lake about
losing the tackle and Jack Mil
ler Jr., had heard the hard-luck
story from Wells.
Yesterday Burke brought
his car to Dick B. Miller's ga
rage to nave some work done
and told Jack Miller the story
of his strange catch. Miller
remembered what he had
heard from Wells about
Champlin's disappearing
tackle and that's the way the
thing ended.
Burke called up Champlin
and asked hlin to identify the
rod and reel. Champlin did and
now has his good pre-war tackle
back.
P. S. The rainbow weighed
six and a-half pounds.
We've been hearing a continu
ing yowl from folks who saun
tered up to Lake o' the Woods to

The 19-mile stretch on the
griddle some resorters won't

responsibility, and the highway
department admits it's in an "ag
gravating condition."
The road has been bladed
up and 7000 yards of cinder
material put down on a 12
mile stretch. Mother Nature,
in the form of rain, was sup
posed to help out and get the
ground wet down for blading.
No rain.
Now, the highway depart
ment says, it can't get manpower
to do the work or more cinders

NEW YORK, May 21 (VI
The New York Yankees hnve
won a clean-cut victory over the
Mexican league on a supreme
court opinion that efforts of the
Pnsquel brothers and their ugents
to induce American ball players
to break contracts were "wrong
ful and illegal."
Justice Julius Miller, granting
a temporary restraining injunc
tion aguinst the Mexicans yes
terday, set May 28 as the date
for the trial to make the injunc
tion permanent.
Mexican altempts to bring
legality of the busi-ball contract's
reserve clause into the discus
sion along with churges that or
ganized baseball is a monopoly,
were discounted by Justice Mil
ler. The mere fact that the Mex
ican league lias leveled the
monopoly churge, the Justice
said, was "no Justification" (or
denying the Yankees an injunc
tion. "The scant and fragmentary
factual statements contained in
the affiduvit of Hess (Jerome
Hess, Mexican league attorney),
full fur short of establishing any
such monopoly," the Justice said
in a portion of a five-page opin
ion. "No real proof that or
ganized baseball is on illegal
monopoly is submitted on behalf
of the defendants.
"Although the affidavit char
acterizes organized baseball us
an illegal monopoly, the facts
therein stated at most show that
an individual ball player's free
dom of contract is restricted and
Even if organized baseball

seem that it is noi a combination
