" All That Glitters Not Gold, All You Hear On Radio Isn't McCoy Either, Says Truitt By LEROY INMAN News-Review Staff Writer All's not gold that glitters, and all's not the real McCoy we hear on radio, and, according to Ra leigh Truitt, veteran baseball an nouncer over Radio Station KEX, Portland, it probably wouldn't be too interesting if it were. Truitt, on a speaking tour of southern Oregon in company with representatives of his sponsoring brewing company, spoke to the Roseburg Lions . Club Thursday night at their dinner meeting in the Umpqua Hotel. He gave a run down on the Portland Beaver's prospects for this season and dis cussed' his own trade, that of an nouncing sporting events. Truitt, native of Oakland, Ore., described the process of recreating a baseball game for broadcast in the studio from teletype informa tion relayed when the Portland team is playing away from home. Baseball, essentially, is a slow game from an action standpoint, he said, describing all the antics pitch ers, catchers and- batters go through leading up to a pitch. So, he stated, it is necessary for the announcer to fill in and keep the radio listener interested during this lull. Broadcasting directly from the ball park is no trick, but recreat ing baseball games in the studio re quires a bag of tricks. He enumer ated a few. For example, snapping a match box sounds like the ball hitting the bat. Slapping one's thigh with a cupped hand sounds like the ball Spring Chinook Salmon Late Spring Chinook salmon are late I station by mid-March. No chinooks mis season, accornmg 10 me iwice monthly report from the Oregon Game Commission's Southwest Re gional Office in Roseburg. For six consecutive years previ ously, spring chinook salmon had been counted at the Winchester hitting the catcher's glove. Sound effects on film provide reaction of the crowd to a single, a double, triple or home run, he stated. Teletype information is very brief, such as the coded B1HO (ball one, high outside), SIC (strike one, called by umpire) or the bare sentence, "Littrell (one of the Beavers top hitlers) lines a single to left field." From this brief information, the announcer must give a running ac count of what is taking place, add ing enough color to keep the broad cast interesting but factual, he said. The Beavers chances for the pen nant are good, believes Truitt. He listed available material. An ar rangement with Kansas City to se cure the best players should keep the roster in top shape. He added, however, that there will be plenty of strength in the other Coast League ball clubs, and that last year's pennant winner, Phoenix, is plenty strong this year. City Bowling Tourney had been seen, however, this year by March 15. The steclhead movement drop ped off in tempo, although the total was near average.

Portland's major uprising came in the sixth as George Freese doubled home Bob DiPictro. and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The Beavers go to Palm Springs today for an afternoon game with the Sacramento Solons. Sports In Brief Ron Delany Wins, Pressed By Rival CLEVELAND (AP) Ron De lany won his 33rd straight indoor mile race, but had a close call Friday night when Hungary's 1st van Rozsavolgyi pounded up to the finish line only a step or so behind. The time of 4:06.6 disappointed I the 9.330 fans at the Knights of Columbus track meet who hadi turned out in hopes of seeing De- lany's world record time of 4:01.4 j lowered. But when the early pace was too slow, neither Rozy nor the Irishman from Villanova wanted to perk it up. Rozy led by a yard with two laps to go. They were abreast starting the gun lap. Then Delany opened up and grabbed a 10-yard lead. But Rozy wasn't quitting and came back at Ron with a desper ate hurst of speed that just missed. Delany ran the last quar ter in 59.4 seconds.

The castoffs Hoyt Wilhelm and Ernie Johnson have indicated by their clever hurling that at age 36 and 35, respectively, they still can be effective. Wilhelm and Johnson both have been vital cogs for pennant-winning clubs in the past, Hoyt with the then New York Giants and Johnson with Milwaukee's Braves. Knucklcballcr Wilhelm and speed-balling Johnson, who laid their claim to fame as relief spe cialists, combined to shut out St. Louis 3-0 Friday for the Orioles' fourth consecutive victory. Two-time Braves Meanwhile the world champion New York Yankees and the Na tional League champion Milwau kee Braves engaged in a rare ex hibition doubleheader. The Yanks bopped the Braves 6-3 and 5-4 in the day-night affair at Miami. In other games, Los Angeles edged Cincinnati 3-2; Cleveland snipped Boston 5-4; Washington shaded Kansas City 3-2; Detroit beat Pittsburgh 5-3, and Chicago's Cubs subdued San Francisco 3-1. Wilhelm and Johnson permitted the Cardinals only five hits and stranded H Redbird base-runners. The Orioles put it out of reach off Sam Jones as they scored twice in the first inning on a walk, singles by Chico Carrasquel and Gus Triandos and a throwing er ror. Bill Skrowon hit a three - run homer off Bob Buhl for the Yan kees' first game victory. The night cap was decided on an unearned ninth inning tally. Fly To Havana The Dodgers and Reds flew from rain-soaked Florida to Ha vana to get in their game. Duke Snider doubled home what proved to be the deciding run in the third off former Los Angeles pitcher Don Newcombe. The Indians continued their mas tery over the Boston club, now 10-2 in the standings. They scored two in the ninth to remain the only team that has beaten the Red Sox. Roy Sievers and Bob Lemon drove in all of Washington's runs as Russ Kemmcrer limited the A's to two hits in his five inning stint. Frank Lary, Paul Foytack and Jim Bunning combined to five hit Pittsburgh as the Tigers benefited from three Pirates miscues. Right - hander Bob Anderson went the distance for the Cubs and held the Giants to four hits. Home runs by Chick King and Tony Taylor paced the Chicago at tack.

'God' Theater Role Problem To Perform NEW YORK (AP) - To attempt to portray God as a human being in the theater is difficult and con troversial. An intellectualized characteriza tion of God currently is protrayed on Broadway in Archibald Mac Lcish's "J. B." Quite a different concept of God will he seen on television next Monday when "Hall mark Hall of Fame" offers a re peat performance of Mare Con nelly's "The Green Pastures" on NBC-TV. William Warfield, who portrays De Lawd in the production, said the other day "This is not an adult, intellectual portrait of God. It represents what a little girl in a small Sunday School in the South some time ago conceives to God." Warfield, the noted baritone, played the same role in the 1958 "Hall of Fame" production of "The Green Pastures." Everyone in last year's all-Negro cast will appear again, except some of the Sunday School children who as War field puts it, "just grew too big in one year." Turns Down Othello To appear on the TV program Warfield turned down an opportun ity to play the lead in "Othello" at the Shakespeare Theater, Strat-ford-on-Avon, England. "But there's always a chance of playing Othello" again," he said, "and there's not always the chance to play 'The Green Pastures.' It's a sonderful play. Those who have qualms ahout it just don't under stand it." He recalled that before last year's presentation the Negro press "took pot shots at the idea of do ing 'The Green Pastures." But aft er it received such universal criti cal and popular acclaim, nothing more was said. The cirticism just died away." I asked him if he believed tele vision would have produced the play if it had been written as an original. "I don't know," Warfield replied. "That's a pretty generalized ques tion and it's always .hard to say what might happen to something under other circumstances. But I imagine that television might have been worried about the reaction of the Negro intelligentsia. There might have been fears that it pre sented the Negro as ignorant. "But to me it doens't do that at all. It's child-like, but that's its charm. It's imaginative and beautiful." BRIDGE UPSET SEATTLE (AP) A local team captained by J.L. Donnelly, Seat tip, eliminated the third seeripd team Friday night in a major up set in the 6th round of competition for the American Contract Bridge League's Vanderbilt Cup.
