The alleys will probably be closed

Gun Store
Upset By
Eagles 9
One of the big upsets of this soft
ball season occurred last night at
Modoc field when the second place
Oun Store team was dumped by
the EaRles, who are holding down
ninth place. 11-7. and Ashley Chev
rolet almost scored another upset
when they came within an ace of
skinning the Four Btar Merchant,
present league-leaders.
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.
Bud Steinselfer of the VFW
doubled with the bases loaded and
the score 5-4 for Rlckys in the
seventh, bringing In two of his
teammates to save the game for the
Vets. 8-5.
The Moose made four runs in the
last inning, but still lost to the
Elk by three tallies. The Elks made
three runs In the first canto and
seven In the second.
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.
