It is recalled by Antelope Al
Lightner ofj our Senators, who
went through grammar and
high school with the bulging
Basaiie. that Frank Alustiza,
who later j became the demon
quarterback of Stanford's Vow
boys, was nine years old when
he came from Spain and enrolled
st Stockton erammar school
Yet Alustiza, remembers Light
ner, later skipped two grades and
went on to become we outswnu
ing honor student of his gradual
Intf hlsrh school Class.
The Anteliope played high school
football with Alustiza at Stockton
high, and says he was the fastest
man on the! squad despite his 197
nounds . . J Alustiza played lull-
back In nreD school, doing all the
passing and kicking from that
position In j the double wingback
gystem employed at Stockton, but
was shifted to quarterback by Tiny
Thornhfll, who had the great Bob
by Grayson at full.
Alustiza, says Lightner, has
completely! recovered from the
eye Injury; suffered when Ted
Kt. USC's big halfback.
jammed a knee into his eye in
the 1937 jgame, and Is now
coaching ait McClatchy high in
Sacramento ... "I went to see
Frank when they operated on
hii eye. says Llfhtner. "The
doctors had his eye clear oat
f the socket, lying on a pillow
on his chest, with the injured
nerves still attached. When the
nerves strengthened, they put
H back and now Frank can see
out of the eye almost as well as
he ever could."

The report that Leo "The Lion"
, Turner, -Oregon's middleweight
boxing champ, was drafted and
would be available for ringwork
only at the discretion of his com
manding officers, seems to have
been erroneous . . . Turner, accord
ing to Pappy Tex Salkeld, the
VFW promoter, not 6nly is still a
private citizen but also is asking
for a bout on the Powder Proctor
benefit card here next week.
All the boxers seem anxious to
donate their services in behalf of
. the young . Powder,- who fought
eight rounds against Tony Kahut
with his jaw badly fractured
, Most of them saw the game scrap
the young negro put up and are
anxious to help to defray Proctor's
doctor bills . ... It is. to be hoped
that Salem's boxing fans will rally
around as well as have the boxers.
That certain lnfielder our
Senators had opportunity to ac-
quire on option was Elmer Mai-
lory , the ex-University of Ore-
; gen flash, but he opportunity
: Is no longer there . . . Mailory,
upon whom Los Angeles gave
the Solons first chance, has gone

NEW YORK, May 13-(Speclal
to the Statesman)-The Dodger
Doughboy is on the march again,
determined to give Brooklyn the
best pennant money can buy, and
if Larry MacPhail does succeed In
cornering the player market with
his "checkbook", it will take ,away
some of the sweetness of victory,
as there is not much self-satisfaction
gained by taking away the
other fellow's sword before; punc
turing him. '
In purchasing Billy Herman to
plug the. one real weak spot in the
Brooklyn lineup MacFhau made-
move that may mean "the cham
pionship, even if it does help put
the commercial element above the
sporting element of the game.

From MacPhail's r standpoint
that's sound business practice. The
better the team, the . better the
attendance, and the better the at
tendance the more money will be
available to better the team.
And he has other arguments
on his side. He's doing nothing that
most other club executives would
n't do if they had the courage and
initiative. He took charge of the
Brooklyn club when it wasnt in
a position to buy a used postage
stamp, and by his own quaint
methods developed - it into - a
money-making organization. -
His record as a walking check
book has been astonishing. When
he decided he wanted a player, he
got him. Probably most of the
deals 'haven't been the result of
shrewd swapping. They've been
the result of a fat wallet Compar
atively few trades have been in
volved. He paid cold cash for his

a player or two, but usually they
were just the whistle' going' along
with a new suit. ' . ' . . : .
"The Hlgbe deal "involved other
players, but MacPhail put ' out

For Jenkins
CLEVELAND, May 13-F)-
First steps were taken tonight to
clear up the dual world light
weight championship with Charlie
Jones, manager of Sammy Angott,
declaring that his fighter is ready
to meet Lew .Jenkins any place
and any time.
Angott, from Louisville, Ky
recognized as titlist by ihe Na
tional Boxing association while
Jenkins, from Sweetwater, Tex
is rated as champion by the New
York . boxing commission. The
New York body has advised Jen
kins to sign to defend his title
by. July I. :
from $125,000 up. He Just opened
his purse and let the gold run out
to get such players as Dolf Camilli,
Joe.Vosmik, Dixie Walker and Jim
WasdeU. No matter what the deal,
MacPhail always has been on the
giving end financially. I -
It's a purchased ball club.
MacPhail Is Jast assembling the
machine from parts that have
. been tested la - ether : quarters,
and it now has become a power
plant of such potency that it
leaves Lee Darocher ia a tough
spot He's Just the chanffear and
if he wins with It he won't get
much credit, as the fans will say
that anybody could have wc
with It If he doesn't win, btH
"be blamed for fanning it inte a
tree. 1
Only two of the regular players,
were taken right out of the minors'
and developed. One is Pee-Wee
Reese, and the other Pete Reiser,
who is the real bargain. He cost
the club only $100. An the others
had their road tests at other major
league plants. - ;
- MacPhail has just ' bought up
the best -pumpkins-' and entered
them in the county fair as his own.
Maybe he doesn't , deserve the
credit for developing his club, but
you've got to admire his enterprise.

In his season's first win, Helser
walked eight . Wenatchees and
save up seven hits, while the Caps
nicked him for eight blows and
worked him for eight meanders.
( A big second inning, coming
after a single run first, pat the
game away for the Legislators.
They scored four times, all of
'em counting after Catcher Bill
Brenner allowed a third strike,
that would have retired the side,
get away from him.
! Brenner's bingle, coming after
Warfield had opened the game
with a free trip to first base, after
McGinnis had walked and Linqua
had advanced them via a sacri
fice that filled the bases when
Helser elected to attempt to get
the lead man and failed, scored
doui uapuano runs.
Salem's first-frame tally trot

which drove in Lanny Lanif ero,
who had bingled to left, who had
taken second oh Petersen's single
and advanced to third on Second
Baseman Swick's error on Short

Eddie Adams began the second
inning rally which netted four
runs and put the game on ice.
With one away, Adams and Hel
ser singled. Lanif ero flied out and
Lightner struck out, but. Brenner
let the third strike get away from
him and the bases choked up.
Steve LeGault, Vancouver's string

bases. '

Bob Bergstrom finally found
his batting eye, collecting a dou

to top the 10-hit .barrage the So

Jonas. Lanifero was the only oth

than one blow, getting two bin

every trip up.
I I The top of the Vancouver bat
ting order got all eight hits off
Helser, with Lingua, Brenner and
Jewell each getting two. Jewell's
were both well-spanked doubles.

Rules violations, through tech
nicalities, lack of information and
other reasons, caused Conference
Commissioner Edwin N. Ather
ton to designate 22 active fresh
man students as well as 13 high
school boys not even applicants
for enrollment at conference
schools, ineligible for intercollegi
ate athletic competition at five of
the member institutions.
Atherton's reaction to the penal-,
ties meted out last week was the
expressed opinion that the con
ference probably would have to
modify some of the rules of the
code adopted in December, 1939,
and re-shaped slightly at the June
meeting last year.
"The rules are pretty strln
rent," Atherton said. "The con
ference Is In the position of
pioneering a movement. We are
fat the experimental state. Ia
an enterprise of , such scope
there are bound to be 'bags' to
be eliminated. We will have to
tinker until we arrive at the
Ideal program.
! "We cannot close all avenues of
information to prospective enrol-
lees just because they happen to
be athletes. , Our present ; rules
cause penalties to be Inflicted for
activities permissible in other con
ferences which otherwise are sup
posed to be models of perfection."
Modification of some sections of
the code was considered a fore-'
gone conclusion, action to be tak
en at the June meeting in Seattle.
Specifically, severe restrictions
placed Jon the activities of well
meaning but often misguided alu
mni may be lightened.
