ii ft t !st 11 , ' i Sraort sib Sparks By RON GEMMELL Sine Saturday night, when the old alma mater captured a etre high school basketball tourna ment berth, folks haven't been able to toach your column con ductor with a 10-foot pole. Is he proud! Little old Helix high school (I guess they still wear the maroon and gold), a CO-student union high school in little old ISO-population City ot Helix (or less), sit uated nine miles north ot the Pendleton-Walla Walla highway from Havanna station and sur rounded by nothing but roiling wheat fields and summer fallow for a radius ot 20 miles. Claim there are 1.000.000 bush els of the yellow gold shipped from the district annually and also claim an annual per acre yield of 40 bushels over a 10-year period. Severn Mock a ot honest -o- goodness pavement; a couple of grocery farmers, one of which also bowses the postoffice; a meat market; a barber shop and pool hall combined; one service station that Is also equipped) with a fountain, candy counter and the owner of which carries the mail from Pendle toa; m Kg wheat elevator; a nmkrr sf warehouses; a flour nilll that has been more or less Idle since It erection; a hotel; n grade school; and the nnion high schoeL, finished in 1023 Jast la time for yours sin cerely to begin his sophomore j ear therein. How's Your W heat, Mr.? Five or six miles south of the town is a Finnish settlement; straight on worth ot the village la an extensive Norwegian com munity; to the west of the Nor wegian community is a Just as large German settlement; and to the southeast and east are Just plain mixture Americans. And their Interest is all the Mine: What the price of wheat it going to be this year and what are the prospects for crop. Yearly, they worry, worry, worry about the wheat crop, and yearly they come up with a good one. A complete failure ha never been known, and when tle market was up over a bark a bushel no one drove larger car or went more places titan the wheat fanners. All ralte wh.-at and nothing but wheat. arirulturally speaking. It's a hilly country, so hilly a hay, hand with whom I was once pitching bundles remarked: "If they'd flatten out this country tra neighbors would b pushed back even miles." Hut they've always been ar dently interested in basketball, een in the days when all games were p!acd In oc of the wheat nun-huuM-a where there was Junt room eaoogh between the baskets and the ceiling to Mueexe a basketball through, where the waly heat was a big, oual-buraing, pot-bellied depot Move that was a menace to the hides of hoopers, and where the floor was not only washboardy but also uphill In tpots. They re the "Grizzlies." Name of the school, by the way. isn't Helix Talon high, but Gria wold Union high. It was so named in commemoration for the old town doctor, who, no matter how many feet of snow covered the ground, no matter what condition tht roads and no matter how much be endangered his own health, always responded to call. During the first flu epidemic, old "Doc" Grtswold was credited with more succexs than any other doc tor la Oregon. All he did was fill his patients full of good old fashioned bicarbonate ot soda. And now the alma mater makes the big meet, something we hoped for yearly while I was undergoing an exposure to Latin, algebra, chemistry, geometry, etc., but never quite made. In those days we would have had to beat out the A teams, as there were no separata B districts. At that we came mighty dose one year, suc cumbing by one point in an over time session to Milton-Freewater in the final gams of the district tournament. There Is Uule hope that the alma naaaaaay will go far in the big doings. Probabilities are that the -Grixslies" will be knocked owC In the first game. In which they asset the district 1 entry.

If this Is true why are two of their ace scouts, Joe Devine and Rill Essick, maneuvering in the vicinity of the Anaheim training camp of the Philadelphia Athletics? Devine and Essick met by ar rangement in Los Angeles last Friday. Devine explained his presence in Southern California was for the purpose of looking over a couple of hands farmed out to the Seattle club training at San Francisco. He added he intended to scout the Athletics while in the vicinity. I you suppose Manager Joe Mct'arthy of the Yanks will received an expert ap praisal of the 1010 Athletics one of these days? Does Wedneday follow Tuesday? Rates a bouquet: A credit to boxing is the Fili pino, Ceferino Garcia, recog nized as middleweight champion in New York and California. He's 3 3 years of" age, an "old man" in ring classification. Seven years ago, disgusted with his prog ress, he intended to quit, told handlers to give away his equip ment. Talked out of it, he bolo punched himself Into promin ence. He and Henry Armstrong, welterweight title holder, fought a draw lat week. The bout had been postponed once because of a boil on Garcia's knee. Another one, large as a half dollar was forming and pained up to the thigh when the fight went on. Partly lame, the Filipino refused to use it as an alibi. Why not a gorilla? The California state athletic commission has turned thumbs down on an application that had members momentarily speech less. "Red" Lyons, formerly of Seattle, now acting as a booking agent for grapplers, asked per mission to book a wrestling bear i in mixed bouts with regular per formers. Not long ago the commission denied the request of a promoter to match boxing kangaroos with humans. Mexico woos baseball: Because youthful Gen.

They don't look or act like a team headed for anywhere but a world series. It's an odd situation when ad- champion is rated no better than a dark horse, but the rating Is defended by Btaunch arguments. Bucky Walters and Paul Der ringer, they said. Just can't have as good seasons as last year. Rival clubs will be stronger. Ernie Lom bard! won't get up in time. All of which may be true. Take Bucky Walters, for instance, which any club wonld be glad to do. Bucky isn't promising a bet ter year than 1939, or even as good. Once Lost 21 He sat laxily on a bleacher plank at Plant field here, a long, loose, friendly feUow with nice ball player's hands. "I'll be lucky to win 27 games again." Bucky mused. "Believe me, yon have to have everything coming your way. Why, three or four years ago I lost 21. And I thought I had pretty good stuff, too. Anybody can come out and say he's going to win 30, or 40 games. Bnt to do it-is something else again." "Out there." he ventured, pointing toward the field, "is where I pitched my first game. I warmed up for two days and pitched nine innings the first inning. I nearly took Johnny Mire's leg ofL Gness I hit Hafey too. Rather Play Dally "Hod did I happen to take np pitching? Well, I was just barely hanging on as a third bassman. and that's a tongh spot. I'd been np a conple of times and didn't stick, and was liable to be cut loose any time. I'd thought about pitching, and Jimmy Wilson sug gested I try it. "Rather be a good pitcher or a good third baseman T" he grinned. "Well, this Is a pretty nice job. In fact." he added, "any Job with this clnb is a good Job. Ot course, J'd like to play every day. I like baseball. I only had arm troubls once. In 1935, the firstyear I pitched seriously. I gaess the change, and throwing corres was too mach. I got so I couldn't tie my tie or share, ' X really was worried. Bnt It went away oter the winter. 1 :-:-xWsis-VA-. l OB IT S ELL Editor Morning.
