Spokane and Eugene were the

Spokane thumped Lewiston, 11-3,
at Lewiston, while Eugene, ira;n

At Lewiston, Cliff Crawford
homered in the fifth with Manage:
Eddie Lake aboard to put Spokane

Bill Page, a former Stanford
pitcher, and Berlyn Hodges
teamed in Eugene's victory over
San Jose State, striking out 13
Spartans. Page gave up two hits

What's that again!. . .The larg
est animal that ever lived, past
or present, on the face of the
earth or in its waters is the sulphur-bottom
whale, still going
strong today.
Even the greatest dinosaurs
which splashed along the shores
of inland lakes a 100 million years
ago were dwarfed by this stupen
dous creature unable to match it
either in weight or length.
THE LONGEST sulphur-bottom
ever measured with a steel tape
was 111 feet. Quite likely there
have been larger ones.
Like all other whales, the sul
phur bottom cannot breathe
through its mouth a special nasal
passage connects directly from
the blowhole to its lungs. This per
mits the whale to gulp its food be
neath the surface without getting
water in its lungs.
The lungs extend well back into
the whale much father than In
other mammals which- helps bal
ance the animal in water.
The skin is soft. Temperature
regulating sweat glands have been
eliminated and instead there is
a very warm thick layer of blub
ber from eight to 20 inches thick
between skin and dark flesh.
Th's retains the bodv temperature
which is slightly below that of a
horse, risht around 98 degrees
Filrenheit.
It has a few hairs usually a
cluster of short, brittle chin whis
kers numbering around 32, and
occasionally a dozen or two on top
of the head, though most are bald.
ALONG THE THROAT, breast
and belly it has from 80 to 100
great .accordion-like pleats which
permit the great lungs to expand
and fill up their entire capacity
before sounding, sometimes going
down where the pressure is 1,400
pounds to the square men!
Ears have virtually disappeared
the only thing to be seen being
two knitting needle sized openings
a vara behind the eyes.
The brown eyes are about twice
the size of a cow's in contrast
a giant squid may have eyes nine
inches across!
The largest sulphur - bottomed
whale ever to be weighed, in 1947,
was an. 89-foot female. (Females
are always larger than males.)
Her girth was 43 feet and six
inches. As females go in Arctic
regions, that was not fat.
The flukes measured 20 feet
from tip to tip in contrast to a
fish's horizontal tail, a whale's
flukes are always horizontal.
(When a whale is harpooned near
the fluke, the whale cannot pull
the strain of the rope straigntens
out the hodv).
The flippers were nearly
10 feet long. (The flippers contain
five finger-like bones overlaid with
tissues and blubber to form a pad
Hip and used onlv in turning and
ascending. The hind limbs have
completely disappeared externally
and exist only as ruaimemary
bones, burled deep In the body
the longer, the femur, being per
haps four inches in length, the
about the size of a walnut.)
Weighed in sections with some of
the tons of blood lost, this female
lower leg bone, the tibia, being
weighed 300,707 pounds more
than 150 tons!
The heart weighed 950 pounds,
almost a half ton; the liver, 2,000
pounds, a ton; the flabby tongue,
6,000 pounds, three tons!
The power and strength of this
animal, as to be expected, is tre
mendous: It has pulled whaling
ships forward for many hours at
ten miles an hour while the en
gines were going full speed astern.
Just why it was named me sul
phur - bottom whale is unknown.
Its topside color tends toward
gray, blue, white. A much better
name is that given by the Nor
wegians, the blue whale. At a dis
tance, in the water it looks as
though its body has been washed
with bluing.

Could be that the oDening day
of major league baseball set what
may be the pattern this season.
Milwaukee and Cleveland were off
and winning and the New York
Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Yankees couldn't do a
thing about it.
The preseason popularity polls
had Milwaukee's Braves copping
the National League flag, with the
world champion Giants and Brooks
somewhere behind. Cleveland was
picked to repeat in the American,
again beating out the Yanks.
Milwaukee and Cleveland made

WIFELY CONFIDENCE
KANSAS CITY W Mrs. Harry
Truman doesn't think much of her
husband's baseball pitching abil
ity. Shortly before the former Pres
ident was scheduled ta throw out
the first bell in the Kansas City
Athletics' opener against Detroit
Tuesday, Mrs. Truman was asked
which hand her husband would use.
"I don't know," she replied.
"And I don't believe he knows yet.
He's not very good either way."
til old Ewell Blackwell made Red
Wilson bloop a double play hall
t ageless Pete Suder.
There wasn't enough room to let
all the eager Kansas Citians see
the affair.'
So Truman was scheduled tor
the first pitch a?ain Wednesday,
ready to shoot with either hand that
gets hold of the ball first. ,
Besides the ambidextrous Tru
man, the Athletics planned to pitch
Arnold Portoearrero, a fireball
righthander.
Arrayed against him for the Ti
gers was Steve Gromek whose rec
ord last year was 18 victories
against 16 losses to Portocarrero's
9-18.
It was doubtful Wednesday's re
take would draw the sellout 32,844
that 'watched the opener but no
one would give big odds on it.
Not after the way this baseball
crazy town took to their rejuve
nated Athletics Tuesday.

Lemon got off toward another 20-
victory season, handling the wnue
Sox on four singles and a double.
The Indians, apparently not as
over-confident as general manager
Hank Greenberg feared, got to Vir
gil Trucks for two runs in the
first as vio weriz singled wiui
the bases loaded.
Al Smith and Ralph Kiner hom
ered, although Kiner, whose big
bat the Indians picked up from
the Cubs last winter, fanned in
his first two trips.
The game at Cleveland hauled
in 50-230 fans tops for the day
as the majors drew 190,951. Mil
waukee was second with 43,640.
Kansas City relied on a three
run sixth to beat Ned Garver and
the Tigers as a capacity crowd of
32,843, plus former President Tru
man and Connie Mack, watched.
The A's got nine hits, including a
single, double and home run by
Bill Wilson. Alex Kellner gave up
six Detroit hits, one a red Wilson
homer, and Ewell Blackwell pro
tected the decision with two - hit
ball in the last three frames.
The Cubs knocked out Brooks
Lawrence in a five-run first and
went on to total 18 hits off five
Card hurlers. Dee Fondy drove in
five runs with a bases-loaded
double in the big first and a full
house single in a six-run second.
Hank Sauer had four hits with 26,
153 in the stapds largest Chicago
opening crowd since 1929. Paul
Minner was the winner.
Boston and new manager Pinky

13 against three 'Baltimore pitch
ers. The crowd was 38,085.
