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
