Baddy Ryan's Spokanes most certainly are a formidable looking baseball flock on paper, and when you size hp his pitching corps there is little left to do other than pick him as the cent to beat in the upcoming WIL race. Frank Nel son sported the best earned' run average in the Class AA Southern association last season. Bill Wer bowski won 17 times for the Spokes In '47, Gene Babbitt notched 15 for Ryan's pennant winning Wenatehees In '46. John Cordell speared 11 for Yakima's last-placers a season ago and Johnny OrphaL a new acquisition from the Southern association, was an effective flinger for Seattle a number of years. Little wonder Buddy openly admits he's "sold" n his pitching staff . . . Speaking of WIL pre-season prognostica tions, the AP gent who peddled 4 CAL McIRVIN the story telling of how strong J. Francis Wilson's Senator flock is. and how it will be in there pitch ing for the pennant, should bear what J. Francis has to say about it. He hasn't had a chance to get his crew properly conditioned, let alone fathom its true potentiali ties . . . More Honor for Dean Los Angeles is going all out to honor Trojan track Coach Dean Cromwell, the Oregon-bred gent who will boss the I S Olympic team next summer. A civic ban quet has been dated for May 11. and ducats are going at $7.50 per copy. Also, the Bob Hope radio show will be broadcast from the Hotel Ambassador in conjunction with the gala event that night . . . Incidentally, the Olympic games likely will keep Cromwell from vacationing at his Turner acreage for the first time in many years. He usually spends at least a month up here every summer . . . Add one more American Legion junior baseball team to the growing thou sands. Neighboring Dallas is to field a nine this year, and Hughie Day, the former WIL umpire who now helps operate a meat market in the Polk city, will assist in the coaching of it . . . Mcllrin All Set Again One of the new Senator players who stands ready to have him self a big season is Big Cal Me Irvln. the 6-foot 2-inch, 200- j pounder from Portland. Cal is the , talented youth who in 1942 was j classed as a terrific prospect while ' playing at Jefferson high in Port- land. He had previously trans-1 ferred from Forest Grove. He ! signed with the Philadelphia Ath letics that year, and Connie Mack took him to the A's spring train ing camp. He played that season with Lancaster, Pa., in the Class B Interstate league and was headed for bigger and better things the next year when the army got him. After four years of GI service. Me Irvin joined the Fall River, Mass New England league team at the end of the '46 season, and last year the Athletics had him with their ultra-lowly Lincoln. Neb., farm in the Class A Western league. George Emigh bought the pitcher-outfielder durmg the win ter, and he's now set to pick up from where he left off in 1942. Southpaw Cal is only 23 years old. so has a good many years of base ball ahead of him . . . iVoir They re Champs! Laff of the week: The Portland pro basketball Indians, doormats for the league all season long, now claim the Coast pro title after beating Seattle in a playoff. It pays to have your club owner in the league's presidential swivel, eh? ... At the rate he's going in the tough role that is pinch-hitting, Taeoma Earl Kuner has won himself a job with San Diego. Big Earl has busted up two games with his bat thus far (including Sun day's nightcap at the expense of Tommy Bridges) and is showing the PCL'ers how he copped the Western International hitting title last year with a record .389 mark. . . . Our own Senator grads are doing okeh with the hit willow also. Roy Helser is biffing a phe nomenal .538, Dick Wenner sports an even .500. Hal Summers .400 and Bill Beard a snappy .333 for the Bevos. Eddie KowalskI and Kenny Wyatt are belting a robust .999 between them, however.

What ' few workouts remain before the big opener Friday night with Ta i coma w ill be uncorked in Waters field. ! Wilson stressed batting and con siderable throwing by the pitchers in today's effort, and for his infield drill had to field a patched quar tet. Third-baseman Mel Nunes, hit on the knee by a thrown ball in Saturday's game with Oregon State, now is hobbling about on the painful and swollen member, and may not be able to play for a week or two. Working out in his place at third today was Paul Halter, the club's play-anything handyman, and Norm West, the j school-teaching rookie from Elgin. Business Manager George Emigh sent in a thre,e-alarm plea to the parent Portlands when it was learned how serious Nunes' wound , may be, and chances are the Sen ators might get Buddy Peterson, last year's shortstop, at least on, a loan basis for awhile. Bud is now seeing no action at all on the Bevo bench and both Wilson and Emigh want him. If they get him. Wilson anticipates a move that will put Joe Gedzius on third, alongside Peterson at short. The balance of the infield is intact with Jim Wert on first and Al Spaeter at second. New man Charley Hanson, a right-handed batter, and southpaw-swinging Buster McMillan seem to have the catching berth fully occupied. Both Dick Sino vic in center and Dick Gentzkow in left are sure starters Friday , night, and since" Chet Hartman is ; banged up with an injured ankle, hard-hitting McMillan has been j shifted to right field. Big Cal Mc- Irvin, another long-ball hitting lefthander, also can patrol the out er premises well. I Wilson is still undecided as to ! which one of his flingers will j open Friday. Ben Sporer, Gene : Peterson, Hunk Anderson, Bob 1 Stevenson and Daryle Eliason all j had the benefit of five weeks of spring training at Riverside. An- ! derson would be the most logi cal man for the inaugural, but he! has been woefully wild. Vince Lazor, Cal Mclrvin, Bill Carr and Jim Olson are coming along okeh. j but they've bad exactly seven days I of training and not one has tossed ; more than three heats thus far. Two rookie flingers, Clyde De- J Witt of Reedsport and Hill Beeson ; of Angeles, have been optioned j to Amarillo, Tex., of the West Tex- i as-New Mexico loop, Emigh an nounces.

With that lineup, Ted may not bo walked so often All this, of course. Is based on. the theory that Williams' appendix cooper ates. Any baiting order that puts a dangerous man like Bobby Doerr in the No. 7 spot must be tough. There is potential danger all down the line. The Yankees, defending cham pions, have a tighter defensive, club, with Phil Rizzuto sn George Stirnwelss around second base and Joe DiMaggio, fit and ready for a full season. In center.
