"Got credit for beating Los Angeles Sunday and the only jrun they got off me was because I walked a guy and then Johnny Moore hit one for two bases and the run.

Got him out easily the second time. l "Root is a great guy and has shown me plenty along with Joiner and Bill Thomas. Saw the great Don Osborn Sunday he looks like he's set for a good year.

During this period the Ducks have won four titles, tied for second once and finished third twice. Which is indeed an enviable record. And this . spring the letterman-ladened Oregons are tabbed the team to beat again for the conference tiara. . , Joe "Flash" Gordon, now that Jss DIMag Is gone, the "Yan kee Clipper," heads the list of Hobson's developees, although be claims no credit for cultivating Gordon while he attended Ore gon. Others have been Johnny Lewis, ex-Takima- flinger; Bill - Sayles. with the Yankee chain; Bob Hardy now with Portland; Ford Mullen, now with Seattle; Wimpy Qninn, the ex-WIL slug ger now with Los Angeles as a pitcher on option from Chicago Cubs: Elmer Mallory, Vancouver shortpatcher last season; Jack Gordon, brother of Joe, who saw some WIL service with Wenat chee a couple of years ago; Johnny Linde, once with Salem and Taesma, and more recently Dick Whitman and BUI Carney the former now belonging to the Brooklyn Dodgers, the latter to the r Portland Beavers. What with the war making it hard to tell just what lies in store for them after they finish their careers as Oregon baseballers this season, Johnny Bubalo, Don Kirsch and I Bill Haroel, three-fourths of the crack Webfoot infield, are eyed by more than one scout as real Ivory for the future.
