FRIDAY NIGHT Dancing 10 Till 2 Music by ( A, r Tiff - III Junior Hon, receives Instruction in how to handle curve ball from league mound lUr, as Rob Fatjo nd Pat Coltrell look on. Qulgley Is baseball chool now being conducted here by the New York Yankees, are Yankee Scout. The camp end today. I The alleys will probably be closed for a couple of weeks along toward the latter part of this month for Ihe work. The Brunswick man will bring an 800-pound machine to level the alleys and take out a winter's accumulation of rough spots, then will come fine sanding and surfacing with plastic finish before the lanes w ill pass ABC muster. All that work will have to be done before lrsgue rolling gets started next fall. The plastic Iinisn, Hamil ton says, is wartime-developed substitute for Imported shellac and it's a cose of the substitute stealing Uie sliow. It's a whole lol easier to uul on and keep In shape than shel Inc. which used to take about 45 minutes of work per alley after each i night's battering. Also before the winter season new pins will be set up clear screw, nnd thai business, figuring four or live new sets a season, represents a big ensh outlay. The pins cost mound $25 a set now a few years bsck the price wns 8, and for better mnples, too, Hamilton uses 3 lb. 1 or. or 8 lb. g os. woods at thi altitude where there Isn't much moisture to soak up. and gel a much bounce with them a with lighter pins at a lower, wetter altitude. ABC al Iowa some leeway In the matter, from S lb. 3 os. up to 3 lb. 9 os. In the post the women keglers have fired at the lighter wood, but next fall might be trying to knock over the same weight as the men the heavy ones are hard to get, and the lighter ones even harder. There (re a few other repairs and Improvement to be made at the alleys, but the place will look Just about tli same next spring as It does now. No Wrestling Card Tonight There will be no wrestling card at the nrmory tonight as Promoter Mack Llllnrd take a three weeks' vacation. When the matches re resumed, July ID. the regular weekly card will come on Friday night, rather than on Thursday. Future boxing cards will be conducted on Tuesday nights. Llllnrd said that the switch from Thursday to Friday was made be cause it was easier to get outstand ing talent lined up for Friday. Swedish Heavy Wants Louis Go STOCKHOLM.

In the other two tilt, the VFW edged the Rlckys boys, 6-S. and the Elks tonne their rival lodge, the Moose. 13-10. Spectators were beginning to won der Just when The Gun Store-Eagles tilt would end, when the Eagles fi nally blanked the last Oun Store batter about :45. mree lengtny i dtsmites occurred on umpire's de ctslon. dragging the same out fori a little over two hours. The Eagle took the lead In the Initial Inning with seven runs on three hits, and held their advantage to take their third win of the sea- son. Tediirk and Ramos chucked for the Eagles, and Lon Evans hurled for The Gun Store. The Ashley nine stuck with the Merchant all the wny and came Into the sixth Inning the score was 6-8 for the Merchants. Wilker son. Ashley third sacker. poled out a triple nnd later scored on Hnll's double. Hall also scored and Ashley lost its chance to go further when Anderson popiied out to center field. The Merchnntsthen slammed In five runs in their half of the seventh to win, 13-8.

Some 100 fans were gathered at 7:30 to watch the evening's program, but the crowd dwindled down rapid ly due to the long, drawn-out first game. Softball Is a game designed for speed and small diamonds, and the game Is limited to seven innings in order that one can be finished In an hour. But lost night, as on sev eral other nights, individual players balked, pussyfooted and slowed down the play until the games at Modoc field dragged on until mid night with the result that very few fans cared to (tick around to see who won. Blueback Run Passes Peak A8TORIA, July 3 tJP The 1947 run of blueback the best in the last five years has passed Its peak in the lower Columbia, declining cannery receipts of the fish indi cated today. At the height of the run, It was estimated that more than 15,000 pounds were brought daily to As toria plants. Salmon catches have been light lately, but It is predicted by fish ermen that the late July run may show early because the spring Chi nook and blueback runs reached their peaks two weeks ahead of schedule.
