Bears . in the Big-6 outing on

' up at well over 12 feet, says
Claude, and the state , record j is

''f ft,'.. . . The apparentfffability of Steve Gerkin, lean and long Sen
ator pitcher, to impress as one who actually started 12 games for the
Connie Mack Philly A's last season, shouldn't bo taken with alarm.
True, Steve hasn't hurled like a hot-shot In his spring camp appear
ances and because of that. Mgr. Frisco Edwards opens the season with
Ed Kowalski on the Solon hillock in Yakima tonight. But Steve must
have what it takes to win. We've checked the 1943 American league
records to find the following on the Thin Man who toiled for the las(7
place A's: Won 0, lost 12 (but three of those losses were 3-2 to the
Browns after blanking them for seven innings, 4-3 to the same Browns
in 11 innings and 2-1 to Washington when Marino Pieretti beat him
after Steve allowed only six hits), pitched in 21 games and 393 innings
and had an earned run average of 3.62, which is very respectable. In
fact, that ERA is even better than the 3.67-turned in by -Salem's Bill
Bevens with the Yankees, and Bill
led the Yanks with 13 victories for
the year! There's the difference in
playing on . a poor club. Gerk's
' ERA was also better than those
posted by such veterans as Stubby
Overmiro of the Tigers, Jim Bag
by. Mel Harder and Yank Terry.
So we'd say Slim Steve does hav'e
what it takes. Wouldn't you? . . . .

But They're Still Eggs
It isn't a question in South Af4
rica, of whether to put the mus
tard on top and the pickle in th
middle or vice versa. The problem
concerns whether to hatch the eggs
or to eat them. And eggs referred
to are not chicken or turkey. They
are ostrich eggs. Ostrich . feather!
have gone somewhat out of voguei
Food is still very much the fash
Ion. " feathers reached its peak, the ex

- It had dwindled to $100,000. Today
it is even less. The world talks
f food instead of feathers.

Szasz to Meet
Bruno Angello
Affable Al Szasz, the Hungar
ian swifty who has been gaining
in popularity with each appear
ance at the armory, gets himself
a top shot on next week's mat
program at the local brawl hall.
Matchmaker Elton Owen an
nounced yesterday he had signed
Szasz to grapple with Bruising
Bruno Angello in the main event.
Next week's card, because of the
Senator baseball opener Tuesday,
will be produced Wednesday
night.
"Szasz has been going so great
all over the state," opined Owen,
"that it s time he got a break.
If he can give Angello a good
match I've got myself another
main event boy."
Likeable Al, who wouldn't
mind at all getting a tussle for
Bruno's Coast Junior heavy title
belt, asked for the match with
the stipulation that if he beats
the Angello character he auto
matically qualifies for a crack at
the belt at a later date.
The balance of the Wednesday
card will be .igned and announc
ed later this week, says Owen.

single, but Eddie Wheeler fum
bled George McDonald's sharp
double play bounder, and both
were safe. John Jensen moved
them up with a sacrifice and on
a 3 and 2 count, Glenn Rice
punched a fast ball for a single
to center to bring in both run
ners. Roy Helser, losing hurler,
allowed seven hits.
