The goose egg which haa repre
sented Seattle's standing in the Pa
cific Coast league since the 1932 sea
son started was erased last night.
In a game which saw numerous
passes Issued by three San Pranclsco
pitcher and one from Seattle, the In
dians won their first season victory
9-3 Xrom the Seals. Nine Seattle
batsmen reached first base on passes,
while Hald, who pitched for Seattle,
walked six men.
Oakland took yesterday's game from
Hollywood 4-3 and evened the series
off at two all. Pete Daglia checked
yie Stars effectively until the eighth
Inning when a rally netted them two
runs. Ludolph replaced Daglia and
nipped the rally.
The heavy hitting continued in
Los Angeles. The Angels and Port
land hit freely with honors finally
going to Los Angeles by a score of
13-8. Finney of Portland, Blair and
Campbell of Los Angeles, got homers.
Bill Cronln, Angel catcher, protested
an umpire's decision and watched
the remainder of the game from the
bench- ,
Sacramento pushed another win
over the Mission Reds by taking yes
terday's game 9-7. The eighth in
ning saw most of the game's activity
when the Beds put on a three run
rally to drive Col lard out, the Sena

By Edward J. Nrll
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
STATE COLLEGE. Pa., Apr. 9 W
The college boys served . definite
notice today that Uncle Sam's 1932
Olympic team may be dominated for
the first time by youths from the
halls of learning.
The two-day tournament of the na
tional collegiate association to de
velop college material for the Olympic
team try-outs in San Pranclsco July
20, 21 and 23. has passed into the
s-ml-flnal stage, and 32 youngsters
stand eligible to oppose army, navy,
and amateur athletic union quali
fiers for places on the team.
Probably the . college ranks never
before have gathered together such
an array of talent as opened the
tournament in the Penn State gym
nasium yesterday with 66 entries from
33 colleges and universities.
Thirty-two battles featured the
opening day, eight of them ending in
knockouts. When the day was over,
and the crowd of 5000 that packed
the big gym satisfied with thrills,
20 schools still were represented In
the field. Penn State leading with
five. Army had three qualifiers for
the semi-finals this afternoon. Syra

Crtmmlns and Dyer, distance run

NEW YORK. Apr. 9 JP If 67 of

Strong Fulth lu Cards
The poll Indicated strong faith in
the ability of the Cardinals to win
the National league crown for the
third year in a row. Forty-eight
writers were content to string; along
with the world champions while 15
picked the Giants. Thus these two
clubs accounted for 63 first place
ballots. Of the other four, three
went to the Cubs and one. believe !
it or not. to the improved Phillies.
In. the American league, the battle
of ballots was much closer. Sixty
six of the 67 first place votes went
either to the Athletics or the Yan
kees, the final count standing 38
for the A's and 28 for Joe McCarthy's
men. The only other first place bal
lot was cast for the Cleveland In
dians. Although the experts had little
trouble picking the leaders, they ran
into all kinds of difficulties ln try
ing to rate the other members of
each league. Particularly was this
true in the National where Brooklyn.
Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
and Boston all received votes for
the doubtful distinction of finish
ing In last place. Brooklyn polled
two votes for that post, Pittsburgh
seven. Philadelphia 15, Cincinnati 19
and Boston 124 .
On the other hand the Phillies re
ceived one vote for first place and
one for third; Brooklyn polled one
vote for second place as did Cincin

would finish as high as third.

Detroit. St. Louis, Boston or Chi

wanted a run out of doors. He made

and Kitty laughsd and yieldc-d to it
They left the house by the wocd
sbed door. m
The yards, the empty weathered
barns and outsheds, seemed to swim
in a SGft ha20. Fat pigeons sunned
themselves or the bare roof. Out
siie, a3 in the house, everything
was meticulously clean orderly. A
pth of old flagstones led to a strip
of garden where still bloomed a few
raised chrjsinthemums.
"Oh," cried Kitty, lifting her
hand. "I hear it! The brook!"
"Of course it's there, just be
yond those willows.
They left the brook to climb the
hillside thrush old oak tree3 and
maples and firs. When, presently,
they came out on the top Kitty
dropped to the ground, a little
breathless.
"1 love it! It's ar good as my
hilltop!"
And David's silence, bis smile of
appreciation that was partly for
what he saw and partly for her de
iiht, was good to Her.
The sun lay warm on them. David

He nodded his ead. "I've wanted
i.T bring you here, Kitty," he said
imply. -1 - -,.
She had a pleasant sense of shar
ing with David something so imi-
matcly a part of him that he had
io words for it. She recalled the
:ook on his face when he told her
that his forebears had owned most
of this valley a fine proud respect
in.'; took, a look of belonging.
She was shyly conscious of depths
in David which she never had sus
pected. She'd Lot known theai be
rause always when she'd been with
him she'd been so wrapt in her own
plight.
"David," how old was your
mother when she went away?"
"Twenty, jhe went to Wlnton to
teach school. She'd graduated from
Cornell, you see, tho year before.
She met mj father that Winter.
Thoy wero married in the "!rring."
Kitty's brows drew together.
What had Gar said? That his father
had married out of his class, abrae

"How old were you when she

"Fonr."
"And you don't remember her?"
"More, now. than I did. This place
hru helped me. Sho used to come
here with me, summers. I suppose.
Her father was living, then. I can
remember her playing with me in
the brook. '
Kitty was silent, held in deep
compassion. She divined swiftly
how much David noeded that sense
of luve. She remembered how he'd
had to-go to his father's house, an
Intruder.

"I'm not going to let it touch me!"
Kitty cried oa a sharply drawn
breath. "Or Gar." She squared ber
shoulders with a raliaot little air
of strength. "Why don't you forget
it, David? You could."
'I was too sensitive, more intro
spective than a kid ought to be.
Well, I walked out when 1 was

He lapsed into a deep silence,
then, which Kitty would not break

brimmed with tender, wordless
affection.

. "Thanks, David."
They went down the trail throurh,
the woods, gray now, for the sun was
slipping over the hilltop. David
built a fire on the living-room

spread a cloth over the table top.
It was when they had finished
