Sport , Western International Chief 1 ! r -i. - . of NW Title ' By R0N.GE5IMELL 4 S ' ' Defense Whirling around the Western International league camps by remote control, it-is found: That Tacoma has received an option from San Francisco, Ray Perry, third baseman who was rated the outstanding player in the Pioneer circuit last year and who was the fielding sensation in the San Francisco camp this spring . . . That at Yakima Goldie Holt is currently using Roy Youn ker, prize catcher of 1940 who suffered bonk us of the conkus in a second base slide, in the out field. ' i That Frank Milani, the; first baseman the Spokane Indians ob tained on option from the ! Yan kees, is clouting. the baseball au thoritatively in exhibition games. . . . That both Wena tehee and Tacoma have hopes of landing Frank Hawkins, the southpaw slinger currently with Pprtland but who won 12 for last place Wena tehee last year. . i That there Is an ominous si lence at Ruby Robert Brown's Vancouver diggin's, which may r may not indicate the wily Scot 1 preparing much poison for WI opponents of the Capl lanos ... That Skipper Bunny Griffiths of the Solons is en tirely optimistic, saying his speedy gang is going to make folks forget all about its lack f power. O Joe Goes Pro. Joe Holland, Little All-Ameri-can guard for the 1939 Bearcats, but who took second to Tony Fraiola in the 1940 forward wall, has received a professional" con tract with the New York Giants. . . . Holland, whose pact calls for $135 per game, is to report at Lake Superior August 1. Francis Dierickx, the ex-Pacific university pitcher who is work ing out with the Solons, won six and lost seven for Muskogee of the class C Michigan State league last season . . . Dierickx was one of seven picked from the Detroit school held at Briggs stadium a year ago and sent out in various leagues . . . He had contract trou ble this spring and, like so many unknowing youngsters, returned the contract instead of holding tight to it and arguing by mail. Carl King:, Detroit scout who resides at Cottage Grove, -sent Dierickx to the 'Solon camp ... It Is understood that our Sena tors can have the services of Dierickx this season if they - want them . . . Whether Its yes or no depends on what Dierickx shows in camp. "This is the only way I can get a rest!" might exclaim Jolting Johnny Kolb, the Bearcat base baller who is out of action with a fractured ankle . . . Kolb has been a busy athlete during his collegiate career, what with four years of competition in football, basketball and baseball. ' T Leo in Army. Leo "The Lion" Turner, the dusky dynamiter who roared his kinky head under the Oregon state middleweight boxing crown Tuesday night, is going to have to do his fighting for Uncle Sam for awhile ... Turner's I draft number bobbed up last week, but they kept the knowledge from him until after his fight with Ka hut . . . Leo reports for duty next week. Just what Turner's forced ab dication of the throne will mean to the fight picture here as yet isn't clear ... Turner thinks he may be able to get leave of ab sence to do a bit of boxing, but that is highly improbable. Turner turned 21 last August, Just In time to be eaught la the draft ... Proctor, only 19. is safe for some time yet,; but Tony Kabul is prime fodder for the draft machine. Not to discredit the powerful punches thrown by . Turner at Tony Kahut, but just as a matter of opinion, I'd rate the blow used by Young Joe Kahut in knocking out Clyde Yates as the prettiest shot on the whole VFW card . . ,. Young Joe's right hand traveled but about six inches, but it was the same type of a snap that Jack Dempsey employed So devastat ingly in his prime . . Young Kahut's punch, which few : ring aiders saw because he was so fast with It, toppled Yates forward on 'his face. ' '' v Sk'i Would You Say CHarlie Was Pdor Fisherman?
