Winning their single engage-
ments of the past week, the Ac-
tive Club and Morgan-Eacrett
Lumber continued to lead the city
fastball league with unsullied rec-
ords in three starts since opening
their second half schedules, but a
new threat to the leaders was
closing in swiftly from the rear.
The challenger is the American
Legion's new entry in the circuit.
Off to a slow start in which they
suffered two consecutive goose-
eggings, the Legionnaires found
their batting eyes with a ven-
geance in their two games of the
past week, scoring a total of 29
runs in the pair.
There first runs of the schedule
produced a 10 to 6 triumph over
Rayonier last week, a four run
sixth inning spurt which broke a
6 to 6 deadlock spelling the vic-
tory. Rayonier's Kelly Nutt and
Bob Smith each hit home runs but
couldn't bring their team the edge.
After that warm-up, the Legion
really went to work at spiking the
plate, shellacking the Moose Lodge
Monday evening, 19 to 10, with
Thirdbaseman George Valley
whacking a home run with the
sacks reeling as the big wallop.
Bill Chase homed for the Moose.
This contest was also knotted at
6-all when the Legion broke away
for three runs in the fifth. Six
more in the seventh left no doubt
of the outcome. The Legion took
advantage of. nine walks and eight
Moose errors to run up their stag-
get;ing run total. Roy Peach
pitched both victories for the l,e-
gion.
The Active Club and Morgan-
Eacrett had little difficulty wRh
their rivals, the former subduing
the Moose by a 14 to 8 count
with seven ofthe losers' runs
coming in the final inning, while
the lumber dealers spanked the
Creamery, 10 to 1, on Sandy Doz-
'Loop Field Lights
Saturday Evening
With lights on their home dia-
mond now, the Shelton Loggers
have developed a terrific antipa-
thy for Sunday baseball, conse-
quently the Mason County club
was barely able to scrape togeth-
er nine eligible players to take the
field at Centralia for their Ever-
green league engagemnt with the
Hub City entry last Sabbath.
The result was a 19 to 1 shel-
lacking for the Loggers, a defeat
which just about cooked their
goose as far as winning the league
title goes.
Shelton can regain some lost
ground this weekend if the Log-
gers could manage to hatg a dou-
ble • defeat on second place Kelso.
The Cowlitz county club appears
at Loop Field this Saturday eve-
ning at 8:30 to make up a game
rained out early in the season,
then the Loggers trek back to
Kelso Sunday for the regularly
scheduled second meeting of the
season between the two rivals.
The Loggers wei'e so badly put
for a full team Sunday at Cen-
tralia that Manager Stan Arm-
strong was forced to play second
base and Pitcher Jack Stewart
handled rightfield, while other re-
serve players had to fill out the
lineup.
Centralia banged 19 hits off
Tony Nelson and Burt Dickinson,
who tried his hand on the mound
in the late innings. The Loggers
also failed to take along their
scorebook, so this is about all the
details of the sorry exhibition The
Journal can provide this week.

SIDELINE SLANT S
by BILL DICKIE 6
Pros and cons of post-schedule
playoffs such as the 4th District
junior legion teams have just
completed have been much on the
minds of fans who have closely
followed the fortunes of Shelton's.
champions the past couple of
weeks, judging by the number of
people who have expressed opin-
ions to this scribe.
Now that Shclton has success-
fully negotiat the dlstri,,t
"ph, yoffs tim cry of sour-grapcn
can't be raised if the subject is
put on the grhldle for a little
open discussion.
Playoffs have favorable and un-
favorable points, admittedly, but
I so far as the .by-and-large opin-
ions go among Sheltonians it's
readily evident the cons far out-
weigh the pros, which might be
expected in view of the record
compiled by the Shelton team this
season.
Shelton fans maintain that a
club which went through its sched-
ule unbeaten and was so out-
standing]y superior in its own
league as this year's Shelton club
shouldn't be required to subject
its championship claim to the
risk of a single bad performance
such as the sudden-death playoffs
of last Thursday and Saturday
did.
' In that contention there cer-
tainly is much merit and solid
logic which no fair-minded fan
can deny.
But whether all types of play-
offs should be placed in this cate-
gory is perhaps a horse of another
hue. The principal pro set forth
hy advocates of playoffs is that
they give a team which :;tarred
slow but improved fast and really
was the best club at the end of
the schedule despite failure to
place first because of the slow
start a chance to assert its super-
iority over a club which might
have started strong but faded at
the close of the season, holding
its first place position because of
its fast getaway.
There again is a meritorious
argument and sometimes a
means of crowning the strong-
est team as champion instead
of allowing a weaker club to
take the throne.
However, if there must be play-
offs, it seems to this sports fol-
lower that it should include only
the top two clubs in the district
and that instead of a sudden-
death, single game playoff which
could very easily catch the best
club on a bad night and thus elim-
inate it, the playoff should be
the best two-out-of-three games,
reducing the possibility of a de-
erving club losing its title on one
poor performance.
When time is so pressing, as it
always seems to be when the
junior legion inter-district play-
offs get under way, an intra-dis-
trict playoff such as the 4th Dis-
trict just went through seriously
handlcaps that .,fdtl'ict's title-
bearer because it forces too many
.,¢s to be played in too short a
Just for example, if Shelton
is fortunate enough to go as far
as the .Western Washington
chmnpionship playoff, Norm
Hillyard's young clnb will have
to play five crucJal games in
the space of nine days with ev-
ery game acting as a sword over
the heads of the teams involved.
Toss out; the playoff hnd this
would be reduced to three games
which couhl be spaced over that
period.
The Side]trier is mindful that
playoffs have definite points in
their favor and isn't advocating
their complete elimination, al-
though so far as he is able to
learn the 4th District was the
only district which conducted an
intra-district playoff this year
where districts were divided into
sections and so had to have inter-
sectional playoffs to determine a
district championship.
However, a four-team sudden-
death arrangement such as this
year's 4th District setup hardly
seems fair to a standout aggre-
gation such as Norm Hillyard's
district champions, who not only
whipped every team in the dis-
tricttwice but did so without be-
ing closely pressed by any rival
except Olympia, as a record of 96
runs scored against 19 runs scored
by the opposition would seem to be
pretty conclusive proof.

ORTING AROUND
Strange as it may seem, Shcl-
tows junior legion ball piayers
preferred to play Puyallup rather
than Olympia despite the fact that
Puyallup beat Olympia three times
during the recent 4th District
schedule and finished in second
place against Olympia's fourth
rung windup. The fact remains,
however, that Shelton had a far
more difficult time downing Olym-
pia than Puyallup, barely squeez-
ing by the Capitol City juniors
by 2 to 1 and 2 to 0 margins
against the much wider edges of
6 to 2 and 9 to 0 and 4 to 0 in
the three meetings with the Fair
City club.
Jack Stewart pulled a feat for
the sports books last Friday. The
little southpaw Logger pitcher
gave a pint of his blood in a trans-
fusion 'about 4:30 or 5 o'clock Fri-
day afternoon, then went to Olym-
pia and pitched the last three in-
nings of an exhibiiton game
against the touring and capable
House of David team that same
evening, giving up no runs, two
hits and fanning five batters. Jack
said his arm felt fine but be tired
quickly and was at the end of his
string when the three innings
wore up.
Not all the many Shelton fans
who attended Saturday night's 4th
District championship game be-
tween Puyallup and Shelton in
Olympia realized the exciting con-
test ended in a protest by Puy-
allup. The Fair City team con-
tended the ball which Mary Cart-
wright bunted for a base hit which
started Shelton's victory-winning
rally hit the Shelton s]mrstop in
the chest as it came off his bat.
Umpire-in-chief Jack Stewart,
calling the balls and strikes,
didn't see it that way, however,
and ruled the ball fair. Puyallup
carried its protest first to 4th
District Legion Athletic Chair-
man Oscar Levin, who rightly
ruled the decision was strictly up
to the umpire, then to West Side
Legion Athletic Chairman Ed
Fitzgerald of Port Angeles, who
concurred in Levin's ruling and
thereby squelched the Puyallup
protest, Had Puyallup's objection
to the play been right Shelton
would not have scored in the 'sixth
inning, as Cartwright would have
been ut for being hit by a batted
ball in fair territory and two of
the fllowing three batters made
infield outs.
The most vivid apparel most
Shelton baseball fans have ever
seen were sported by the Tacoma
Boys Club arid were lamped by
Shelt0nians who attended the first
4i.h District playoff game in
Olympia Thursday night. The
Boys Club lads were decked out
in brilliant Kelly-green uniforms
with yellow lettering and trim,
colors of Cammarano Brothers,
sponsors of the Tacoma club.
Bobby Felser, son of Spike FeNs-
or, who will be recalled readily
by many Sheltonians who knew
the family when it lived on Cota
sl.reet until seven or eight years
ago, pitched for the O'Dea junior
legion team in Seattle this year.
Bobby's club went to the finals
of the North Section in the Seattle
District before being eliminated by
Ballard.
