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.

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.

Buzz Cooper, former Highclimb- er football and basketball lumin- ary of the early thirties and prom- inent city league hoopster for sev- eral years thereafter, is now oper- ating his own auto parts business in Sweet Home, Oregon. 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.
