W Shduld all the players, picked by the Western International
head, Bob Abel, lor distribution to the four remaining loop clubs,
return to their new owners this year, we'd say that the Tacoma
Tigers came up with the cream of the crop. There's no doubt
that Al Lien is one of the better hurlers in the loop, and Roy
Younker and Gypsy Bonetti are certainly top bracket hitters.
They had Carl McConnell, another top-flight tosser, but swapped
him to Vancouver for Walt Bliss, but Bliss can be counted on to
be just as efficient in his department of hitting and base-pilfering
as would have been McConnell to the Tiger mound staff. Be
tween Bonetti, Younker and Bliss
the Tizera have three boys who
will send many a pitch over the
125-foot fence of Athletic park in
Tacoma, IF they come back. ,
Younker and Lien are two of
the four included in tho condi
tional sale to Hollywood. They
may stick with the Stars, and then
again they may not Another IF.
Salem Did Okay-IF-
Our Senators didn't . do so
badly in obtaining the future
VI services of the two Bills,
Johnson and Reese, IF they
come back. Johnson was in our
estimation potentially the best
hitter in the league last year,
bat the trouble is, Hollywood
mirht also be of that opinion
and keep Bill down south, as
lie too is In on the four player
sale to the Stars. Reese doesn't
have to doff his baseball bonnet
to anyone as a firstbaseman, and
is a pretty fair willow waver as
well. Too bad Reese hasn't the
hustle that's wanted by hlgher
elass clubs he'd never have
been in this league, let alone
the draw, had he been more
proficient in dash and fire on
the field.
Frank Koski and Orville Rich
ardson are young "comers," IF
they come back. Frank, the hus
ky second-sacker with the Pips
last season, should develop into
a potent poker, while Orville, ex-
Chief, showed promise as a pitch
er. o
Eisenman, Sueme Help
Spokane picked up a fire-baller
in Chuck Eisenman, and he should
be a big help to the Indian mound
corps, IF. Bob Knobles, the ex
Wenatchee outfielder, will give
the Spokes another hitter of the
Dwight Aden type no power tol
speak of, but plenty of one-base
blows and those pesky bloops.
Chuck Grier, the youthful curve
bailer, and Carl Forni, infielder,
will be worth their salt with the
Indians, and Hal Sueme, although
up in years for a ball player,
would make a top-notcher behind
the dish IF .
O
JVot Much for Caps
; '"Ruby Robert Brown, Vancou
ver Capilano chancellor, didift
fare so good. McConnell is a win
ning pitcher, but a little story
goes along with his efforts in the
Vancouver park. Only last season
Carl was telling us of a certain
Jinx connected with such efforts.
"That park is my hoo-doo,"
Quoted Carl, "and I couldn't win
game up there if my life de
pended on it. Row can they
'expect a guy to cut loose with
-that 251-fMt right field fence
stuck right where the second
baseman should be playing."
'IF Carl returns, there's the
little question of whether or not
hell be able to overcome his
hix. ::
I: Little is known of the plans
of Barkelew and Bushong, the
pitcher and second baseman ac
Quired by the Caps. Ronnie Bryant
is the fourth player in the Holly
wood deal, and this young pitcher
may be sent back for another
whirl in the WI before he's ready
for his step up. Hell help Brown's
Canadian Bombers.
Salvatore Madrid, the smooth
: Pip shortstop' who was. sold to
San Diego by Yakima, is also
: listed as tap property, but
; probably won't do them any
j good for a long time. Sally sur-
prised everyone a while back
by Joining the army after being
: deferred in the draft.
Summing the Salem situation
tip, of the lot we'd say that Bill
Johnson has the best chance of not
. coming back. He should be ready
for double-A ball. Reese is work
ing in a Washington shpyard, and
knay figure the six seasons he's
, played is enough and will hang
fem up. Koski and Richardson
fcre young, and IF "offense" jobs
Are not too invitins at this wri finer
tnay be counting the days until
- Wing training.
f " . : o
Tacoma Best Drawer9
i Right now it's hard to say
I Just who will return and who
? will not. Baseball, as well as
I anything else these days, must
j. shoulder its uncertainties too.
. But IF all the drawees drawn
return to the league baseball
! wars this seas on,, there's no
, j doubt that Tacoma had her
' lucky drawers" on when the
i draw was made. -

Signs Salem
Senator Pact
Jimmy "Spoo k" Robertson,
Willamette university baseball
and basketball star who com
pleted his coUegiate sports ca
reer on the Pacific university
basketball floor Tuesday night.
signed a Salem Senator contract
late yesterday, according to the
front office of the Solon ball
club. Robertson thus becomes
the second Senator signer for
1942, Johnny Kolb, another ex
Willamette athlete, having
signed with them a few weeks
ago.
With two seasons behind the
bat for Spec Keene's 'Cats and
a few more in semi-pro circles
behind him, Robertson should
be ready for his fling in pro
fessional ball.
His addition to the Senator
roster swells the catching de
partment to four members.
Eddie Adams, Cliff Barker and
Jack Warren are also Salem
chattels.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-(5-The
St Louis Cardinals have contract
tooublesand lots of it
' .Only eight of the team's 16 in-
Celders and outfielders have
signed for the corning season,
Branch Rickey disclosed Wed
nesday,
They are Jimmy Brown, Ter
ry Moore, Estel Crabtree, Stan
MnslaL George Kurowski, Bob
Blattner, Bay: Sanders and Er
vin Dusak. Harry Walker has
agreed to terms bat has not yet
signed.
The Cardinals vice-president
and general manager, expressing
confidence over the outcome of
negotiations, said none of the re
maining players could be called
holdouts until Friday, when they
are scheduled to report for spring
training at St Petersburg, Fia.
A special case is that of Wel-
wood English who retired from
baseball In 1939. English is
making an effort to arrange his
business affairs so he can re
port, Rickey said, calling that
"the best bit of news Tve had
in some time."
Rickey named Frank Crespi,
second-baseman, as the team's
most serious problem. Crespi, who
lives in St. Louis, said he deserved
more money than he had been of
fered. Oregon College

Trick Defense
PULLMAN, Feb. 25.-(;P)-Seat-
tle basketball fans may get a peek
this weekend at the trick defense
Coach Jack Friel of Washington
State used in upsetting the Uni
versity of Washington in two
straight games here and for
which nobody has yet offered a
good descriptive name.
It's sort of a combination
man-to-man and tone defense
designed to break the rhythm
of the speedlined Washington
attack.
There's nothing in the book, of
course, to prevent Washington's
Hec Edmundson from springing
something similar on the WSC
Cougars, who had that thought in
mind as they entrained Wednes
day for the all-important, season
ending series Friday and Satur
day. State must win both games
to repeat as northern division
champions and finish in a tie with
Oregon State, which winds up
with a pair of tilts against Idaho.

Match for McArthur's Yanks
FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb.
MacArthur's infantryman who have had wrestling training tan
gle hand-to-hand with a Japanese jujitsu expert, bet on the
American.
That's the way Julius . (Hans) Wagner, wrestling coach at
Colorado State college, would
bet, anyway. Wagner, whose
teams have won 14 conference
grappling titles in 15 years, argues
that "jujitsu is inferior to Ameri
can wrestling."
"No good jujitsu wrestler ever
defeated a good American wres
tler," he said.
"The Japs developed jujitsu
because of their Inferior slse
and strength. Jujitsu makes use
of the opponent's slse and
strength to disable or In jure
him. Against big, green kid
it is very effective."
Scientifically applied American
wrestling can do some disabling
of its own, said Wagner, snapping
double wrlstlock on big Bob
Hites, a sophomore from darks-
dale, Ariz.
"You grab him like this, then
you tear his arm off," the coach
explained. He didn't go quite that
far with Kites, though.
The double wristlock, used with
restrictions in amateur wrestling,
could break a man's collarbone,
dislocate his shoulder and tear
out . a flock of ligaments.
Wagner said this held Is par
ticularly effective against an
opponent armed with a pistol
because once the hold Is applied,
the gun can't be pointed at yea.
