A few bads have already sprouted 1 from the hoped-for romance between the new-deal j Portland Beavers and onr town. i Senators, : as Bill - Klepper - has been down to "talk things over" with boss Mrs. Geo. E. Waters. When and if everything smooths oat along this sector of the base ball front, don't be at all sur prised to see an attractive working agreement blossom oat between the two dabs. . 5 -,And speaking of the Beavers, we nosed out a little dope on their new manager, Merv Shea, in "last week's Sporting News. It ap pears that all this talk of. Shea's catching "about 80 games" next season may be just thattalk. ' Just 20 years ago this past season Shea was No. 1 backstop for Sacramento's Senators, (we were affiliated with the, club, too, as chief assistant to the chief as sistant batboy), then went up and finally hung 'em up after catching for Broowlyn's Dodgers in 1938. " ' 1 . ' Did Dodgers Do It? .As catching for the typical "Dodgers" of 1938 might have made anyone hang 'em ap, Shea ' nevertheless turned to coaching for Detroit, and according to himself and this particular arti- ele, has caught only parts of ifour ball games since all four I parts coming in-1939. So going back behind the dish as a regu lar next season may be, only one of-KIepper's Christmas wishes. - Incidentally, there was none of this "if you can better yourself well gladly let you go" stuff be tween Detroit and Shea. , When Del. Baker was turned out to graze - in the ; cold and wide-open pas tures by the. Tigers, Shea turned in his resignation. But both Bak er and Shea have done well the former has hooked on. with Cleve land as a coach and 42-year old Shea, still a native of Sacramento, now gets his first shot as a skip per, Ramblers Nipt Ducks Again PORTLAND, .

Williams Mark Now Pesky Places 2nd in Amerk Batting Bee By DAVE HOFF CHICAGO, Dec 21 -0s)- Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox youthful outfielder who has laid aside baseball "for the duration" in - favor of the naval aviation program, received official credit in the - American league record book Sunday - for winning the 1942 batting championship his second straight year in that role. Ted's .356 average for the season Just closed was far off - his winning pace of .406 In 1941 but the competition was less stiff, too, and Williams won. by a handy : margin of 25 points over his ; teammate, Johnny Pesky, who hit .331. A year -ago three batters ex ceeded Williams winning 1942 avearage. Ted hit his .406, Cecil Travis of Washington .359 and Joe Di Maggio of New York .357. Since It's virtually a cinch Ted will not be back next sum mer - to test opposing , pitchers with his amaiing knack of bang ing out base hits, he will miss a chance to become the first three-in-a-rew American league batting champion since the days of Ty Cobb. In the 43-year history of the junior circuit only eight players have landed the batting title more than once. Nap Lajoie did it three times in the early 1900s, Cobb a terrific 12 times, , including nine in a row-from. 1907 to 1915; George Sisler .twice, in "1920 and 1922; Harry Heilmann' four timesy in 1921, 1923, M925 ' and 1927; Al Simmons twice, in 1930 and 1931; Jimmy Foxx twice, in 1933 and 1938; Joe Di Maggio twice, in 1930 and . 1940, and of course the current hero, jyilliams. - Pesky, playing his first full season In the majors, had a fair ly substantial grip on the run-net-up .berth, eight points ahead of Stanley Spence of Washing ton, who hit .323. Joe Gordon of the: New j York Yankees was next with .322, and George Case of Washington fifth with .320.

Cards Furnish Best Surprise Holy Cross' Victory Over Eagles Second By ORLO ROBERTSON NEW YORK, Dec. 21-(P)-When the St Louis Cardinals came back ko wallop the New York Yankees four straight after dropping the first game of the world series they furnished the biggest sur prise of the year in sports. Thirty nine of the 87 sports experts participating in the As sociated Press' annual poll con sidered the Cards' world series triumph, after overhauling the Brooklyn Dodgers, as their No. 1 surprise. Twenty two ethers picked them for second and 13 for third with the result that they received a total of 174 votes on the basis of three for first, two for second and one for third. . Despite their large point total, the Cards were pressed for top honors by Holy Cross 55-12 de cision over Boston college, at the time the. nation's No. 1 college football team, in the final game of the season. For this unexpected triumph, Holy Cross polled 163 points from 33 firsts, 26 seconds and 12 thirds. All other surprises faded into, insignificance in comparison with the upsets scored by the Cards and Holy Cress,, although Auburn's toppling of - Georgi from the ranks of the' undefeat ed football teams by a 27-13.

The unexpected showing of Illi nois' football team, which whip ped Minnesota and won. its first conference game since 1939, was worth 17 points. Notre Dame's 28-0 whipping of . the Iowa .

Oragbiv Tuasday Morning, December 22, 1912 Gordon Cops Third Place in ;cst Disappointment Poll By SID i NEW ; YORKV Dec; 21-53-The New York Yankees had to come roaring down; the stretch to beat out Brooklyn's bewilder ing and bewildered Dodgers for the honor, but it is now officials the Yanks are the biggest sports disappointment of -1942. ; By a narrow ' but convinclng voto, the nation's sports writers decided Monday that the fold HP of the American league champions ilt- the- world - series constituted a better , fIopereo" : than .the:, terrific success the : Daffiness : boys . from ! the Go- wanus had in blowing a 18 'game lead and kissing the Na : tlonal league, pennant good. bye. So, by a margin of 9 points to for the Dodgers, the, sports writers ballottlng in the annual Associated Press poll on the honor" .awarded : the yearly; prise of a pair of ice-coated ear-muffs to the Yanks. This "biggest disappointment poll, of all the Associated Press year-end series, is the one in which the boys in the writing fra ternity around the . country an nually go all out on the originality and the barbs. r?: Altogether, 88 scribes voted. The Yanks drew 25 first place votes, compared to 18 for Brook lyn. These 25 "palms," along with six seconds and -three-thirds gave the Yankees their total of 90 points, on the basis of three points for a first-place selection, two for a second and one for a third. The Dodgers had nine second place mentions and 4 for third. Metropolitan New York not only ran- one-two on the list with the Yanks I and Dodgers, but Pa Knickerbocker wound up with an even redder face when Joe Gordon's world series play" easily "won third spot on the list of : disappointments.' The Yanks ace second-sacker, who "couldn't buy a loud foul In " the series with the Cardinals, drew nine first-place nomina tions as No. 1 disappointment and polled 51 points altogether. Another woeful world series performance of note was that of Mort Cooper, the Cards' crack right-hander, who couldn't whip the Yanks in two tries. He drew 19 points to tie for sixth place on the list. Between Gordon and ' Cooper, the writers ': had a lot of trouble deciding whether Northwestern university's hard work in losing nine of ten football games or Min nesota's sub-par .season after be ing touted to gallop over the grid iron world again, constituted the chief football disappointment When the ballots were all counted, the Wildcats won : out over the Gophers for fourth place with 38 points to ZT. .

Sl-rVWell, it wasn't any hair-raising deal, of course, but shucks', a gent can't be too particular in these days of meatless meat markets and gasless gas stations, and at least the Yankee-Indian four-player swap made a little- con versation over the weekend.
