THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Every time it rains it rains Oregon’s ball club out of a good practice session or else out of a game. Old J. Pluvius has absolute ly no regard for ball players in this neck of the woods. Now he has shown his complete disrespect for the diamond sport by washing out today's doubleheader with Willam ette. Last year the pestiferous Mr. Pluvius gummed up the works when Hobby Hobson's crew was all set to open its season against Pacific. This year Willamette was the slated opponent, but the change affected the uncompromis ing gentleman who wields the rain can nary a whit. He poured with renewed fury. * * * So there won’t be a doublehead er with Willamette here this after noon. Even should Mr. Pluvius take today off, there’ll be nothing more than a practice session. Endue activity of Mr. Pluvius has given Oregon a man-sized baseball assignment for next week. Eight games in six days are in store for the lads. The Willamette bargain bill has been reslated for Monday and two doubleheaders with Portland university and two single games with Monmouth Nor mal are on the docket. Which means a heavy burden on the pit chers, all of whom arc untested in varsity competition. * * * The Ducks will go at it again the day following the Willamette games, with a tilt against Oregon Normal here. The follow ing afternoon, Wednesday, they travel to Monmouth for a return engagement with the Wolves. Thursday is the one day of rest, and then comes the biggest grind of all. Portland U. jogs here for a double bill Friday, and on Sat urday the Webfoots take two more cracks at the Pilots in Portland. A previously scheduled tussle with Consolidated Freight, listed for Saturday night at Vaughn street, j would have made it nine games for ( the week, but the Freight tilt has j been cancelled. * * * Only other home pre - season; game is slated for Tuesday, April! 13, against Linfield, which this1 year will have no Hoy Helser. Hel-1 ser, a young chucker who set the ' Webfoots down with a single run in games last year and in ’35, has ' gone up with Cincinnati. Willamette in a double bill at Salem and Linfield in a single at McMinnville complete the pre-sea-j son slate. The conference sched ule opens against Oregon State at j Corvallis the 33rd. The following day the Beavers play here. But just remember. They'll all be kings-X, every one, if Mr. J.i Pluvius so chooses. Five basketball players have put the little village of Bellfountain into big type on all maps. Nobody j outside of Benton county ever j heard of the burg before the Buck- J inghums, Kessler, Wallace, and Larkin won the state tournament. Now, two weeks after, it’s still on every sport fans’ lips.. And even though the Bells may be back in the bushes by next winter, what with most of the stalwarts gradu ating, Bellfountain with its high school of 19 boys and 13 girls, will lie remembered for its basket-, bail for years and years. Next week a group of Eugene sportsmen are putting on a ban quet for the Bells here. Also guests at the banquet will be the mem bers of the Oregon varsity. High school champs and runners-up of Lane county—Eugene, St. Mary’s, Coburg, and Thurston—will be on hand, too. * * s> Baseball starts this afternoon in the Pacific coast league. Port- I land's champion Beavers, buoyed by the promised return of Bill j Posedell from Cincinnati, open | against Oakland’s mystery Oaks down south. The Oaks have a i brand new outfit, and missing is | Oregon’s Joe Gordon, now with j Newark. The coast league is always first away from the post in organized ball, but all the rest, including the majors,'Will soon follow.

With five teams in each league, one team in each loop was unable to play because of the rain. In League A. which consists of Alpha hall, the Betas, Yeoman, SPEs and Phi Psis, Alpha upset the Betas and' the SPEs pounded cut a 10-to-8 win over the Phi Psis. Alpha Scores Upset In the Alpha-Beta game, Alpha pushed over two runs on five hits on the last inning to win 3 to 2. Bob Wines, Alpha chucker, was given errorless support. A three run rally, also in the last inning, enabled the SPEs to beat the Phi Psis in the only other game in League A. The two B league games were won by the ATOs and the Sigma Chis. The ATOs pounded out a 17 to-0 victory over Canard club, while Clyde Walker was handcuff ing the Canard batters. Sigma Chi defeated the Pi Raps almost as easily as the ATOs disposed of the Clubmen. The Sweethearts won, 12 to 1, in a game which produced the first two home run hitters of the year, Corey and Breckenbridge. Only One Game Only one game was played in League C -The Phi Delt-Sigma Nu game. Omega hall had a game scheduled with the Dolts, but Omega failed to show up, due to a misunderstanding. In the one game played, the Phi Delts defeated the Sigma Ntis, 9 to 2. Shipley, Lacklen, Young, and Swanson, led the Phi Delt hitters with Swanson, their pitcher, hit ting a home run. Gamma Downs Dlls In League D Gamma hall fur nished one of the major upsets of the current season by going into extra inning with the DUs and then pounding out five hits and four runs to win 12 to 8. Good sup port, hitting by Cal Wilson and Pelton, and the wildness of Bill Jones, DU all-star chucker, con tributed to the Gamma victory. The Kappa Sigs beat out the Sam mies, 8 to*G, in anotlfer game in which a belated rally proved to be the turning point. Jewell, Kap pa Sig first baseman hit a home run. Don Casciato's Comets establish ed themselves as the favorites in League E by beating the Chi Psis, 13 to 0. With two good outfielders in DeFreitas and Jones, and Don himself to do the pitching, the Comets leave little to be desired in the way of a ball club, except two more men. Theta Chis had a fight with Sigma hall until the fourth inning, when they pushed across seven runs to put the game on ice. They won 13 to 2.

The contests are slated to start at 2 o’clock—weather per ■mitting. More downpours of rain in the Duck baseball lair yesterday caused Coach Hobson to delay this afternoon's twin bill against Wil lamette. Tf the practice field is dry enough today, however, there will be another contest between the Yannigans and the regulars. Willamette Untested Strength of the untested Wil lamette nine is unknown to date, although past performances against Oregon indicate a tough afternoon's work when the teams clash. In recent years, Spec Keene's tough clubs have shaded Oregon. Loss of Kenneth Manning:, star first sacker, and Vinnie Harriman, shortstop of last year’s champion ship team, has weakened Keene's infield somewhat. Both were given major league tryouts with the Yankees this spring. Bearcat Infield Listed Willamette’s infield will prob ably include Rex Pierce at first base, Billy Sutton at second, Bill Orren or Gordy Williamson at third. Dick Weisgerber will do most orf the catching. Spec Keene is expected to pick his starting hurler from a group of three experienced men. His only portsider.
