PAGE EIGHT The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem Oregon, Friday Morning, January 31, 1930 7 Tcb -Hendricks, our editor emeritus, said it rained in Cal ifornia all the time he was there, and the Native Sons claimed he . brought them the rain. He evi dently brought a little back, as it rained here the minute he re turned. Good thing he left so much in the southland. Cecesslon" of the rain dis pelled the threat of a serious flood, according to that auth ority on all varieties of water, the C. J. Is Jnne Pluvius try ing to get himself deport ear A little breathing spell after Wednesday nigfit's rush in the sports department has enabled us to check up and find our guess i"? average is .722; 13 right and five wrong. "The strongest collegiate team in the northwest" that is the description of the Willamette basketball team broadcast over KGW Wednesday night by Jack Barnett, in announcing a game between the Bearcats and the Multnomah club hoopers next Wednesday night. Well, we're not yet convinced that he's wrong. Oregon State beat Washington two games, and we'd like to see Oregon State try to .beat Willam ette right now. Bat Willamette doesn't seem able to get any more games with the big school maybe they're leary by this time. And then there's that Whitman floor to conjure with a little later. We're not going to weep any weeps over Salem high's defeat by Woodburn. It'll do no harm to Salem high, except to its pride. Unless the red and black has gone completely to the bad. it will turn the tables on Oregon City here; it had already beaten Woodburn once. So there's not much chance, as we see it, of anyone putting ;tvo rfclds completely under the local boys unless it is the Ctae jnawa Indfr.:);-. As for that defeat at Wood burn's bands as far as we know It's the first in hiotory. It v.on't Flint Snlfiu a bit, but It will do Woodburn a lot of good. JJkewise, it will do high school athletics In Marion county genoially, a lot of good. If the smaller schools just get the Idea that they can step out occasionally and knock over the big fellows, they will work that much harder and get that much more; home support. Bad feeling against Salem, if it exists now, will be , : overcome, because the other towns will swell out their chests and decide they are just as good as Salem. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Speaking of home support, though, these smaller schools have more of it that those in big ger towns, as we remarked once before; and so do the men in oth er branches of sports from the 6maller towns. The Kileen boys were both defeated decisively en ought at Wednesday night's fight card here to satisfy anybody but an Independence fan but you couldn't make one of those rabid guys from Polk county believe it ina thousand years. 'Washington and Washington State hoopers clash tonight. We tossed up a coin and picked Washington, State. p TEAM (HOW ON TOP Anderson's Sporting Goods bas ketball team climbed into lone possession of first place in the Industrial league at the Y. M. C.

Jan. 30 (AP) Well, well and well Portland Is going to have quite a team in the Coast league this sea son. This department's informant is none other than Mr. G. of Port land, its all-time observer on the northwestern baseball front. Mr. G. actually has made no startling claims but it should be known he is one of the most severe critics of the Portland club and its owner-president, Thomas Lovatt Tur ner. Anytime Mr. G. fails to give the Portland team a few verbal digs it is high time for interest ed outsiders to begin looking in to the merits of the case. Material Looks Good Gregory Declares In fact Mr. G. whose identity should be known to all and sun dry because he is neither lean nor tall nor fat nor small, has unwittingly waxed eloquent in his report on his home town en try. From the voluninous report it Is learned tlyU Portland has eight tried and true regular pitchers to start with; a no-so-bad catch ing department and the nucleus' for a pretty fair infield and out field. The most recent and most addi tion U the Portland staff is Carl Mays, a moundsman of many parts who expects to win 25 games this season. Mays is the below-the-belt flinger who gain ed much fame with the New York Giants, New York Yankees and other big league outfits. Sever al other Coast league clubs were after Mays, a free agent, so own er Turner apparently used some of his most financial language in the deal. Walters on Hand to Beat Seals Again Among the holdover twirlers is Johnny "Junk" Walters. Mr. G. Aply describes Walters as: "The celebrate fat man pltcher-out-fielder-thlrd baseman - catcher who made it his life's work last year to show up the San Francis co Seals who sold him with the explanation he was 'to fat.' " Sold by the Seals, Walters joined the Ducks and all he did was to win 12 game3 and lose 5. He started with Portland late in July. When "Junk" wasn't pitching. he was helping out on other parts of the field. He actually threat ened to quit last season because they wouldn't let him play every day. If the Seals have any more like him, owner Turner will be glad to buy one or a dozen, fat or otherwise. Tom 1 in Also Good Anywhere on Lot If for no other reason, the Portland club can lay claim to fame through the versatility of its members, aside from Walters, there Is Edwin Charles Tomlin, who also does everything but play two positions at the same time. At various times be was pitcher, catcher, lnfielder and outfielder. As the ace-in-the-hole last year. Portland had Manager Bill Rodgers who positively ate his beefstakes raw and munched up raw eggs without removing the shells. Four rookie pitchers will be watched this spring. They are Hank McDonald, a 17 year old Santa Monica, Calif., high school boy; Bill Posedel. Bernard Kaiser, and Joe Bloomer. McDonald stands 6 feet 5 inches and scales 210 pounds. Posedel came from the navy and Bloomer hails from Springfield, Mass. Kaiser Is as 18 year old Portland boy. All are right handers. Wood all to Act As Playing Chief Larry Woodall, first string catcher, will be the playing man ager this season. The Ducks are looking for a first baseman to re place Jim Keasey who went up to the Philadelphia Athletics. Mack Hlllis will be back at sec ond base and Buster Chatham t shortstop. Jimmy Cronin is com ing down from the Athletics and likely will operate at third base. The outfield numbers Charley Bates, holdover, and Valter French, coming down from the Athletics. Owner Turner is after one or two more lnfielders and outfield ers and says they should be on hand when the Ducks go into spring training at San Jose. ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 30. Fol lowing the example set by the Illinois boxing commission In the Lomski-Braddock decision, the Astoria . boxing commission at a meeting today went into reverse In regard to a wrestling match between Walno Ketonen and Bob Myers, middleweights, here Tues day night Myers was awarded the bout by Referee Jack Mitch ell, who first Indicated he gave the Tillamook grappler the palm on foul and who later said Ke tonen bad pinned his own shoul ders to the mat in an attempt to use an arm' bar' on Myers. The commission decided the match should be called a . draw. The bout itself ended in a near riot when six peace officers had to climb Into the ring to tear Ketonen oft the referee.

Later in 1929, Miss Hicks won the Canadian women's championship and played such a remarkable game throughout the year that she is now rated as one of Champion Glenna CoTlett's most formidable rivals. The distinguishing characteristic of "Billy" Hicks' play thus far is great power off the tee. The small but athletically built girl perhaps U the most consistently powerful driver ever known to women's golf.

M I The rise of Miss Hicks as a links star parallels that of young Horton Smith among the male masters of that game. A little more than a year ago when Bermudan cables were ticking off tales of "Billy's" first big title triumph, telegrams from the West were reporting the arrival of a new links luminary in the form of a good looking strip ling from the Ozarks who was ig niting course after course with scores that made it seem as though Bobby Jones were playing under the name of Horton Smith 1 From that time on, this Long Island girl and that Joplin, Mo., pro have been the most prominent of all the new golf stare. Hiss Hicks will defend her Ber muda championship next Tuesday, through Saturday, on the delightful Riddell's Bay Golf and Country Club course.

Miss Hicks has been practising for weeks on the Bermuda courses as assiduously as Bobby Jones pre pares for the annual America Open. All observers report her to be in excellent form, and she wfll be an overwhelming favorite to re tain her island crown. Win or lose, "Billy" will carry through one of the most arduous and important golf campaigns ever planned by and for a woman player this year.
