Consequent ly, some of the slower operators un der the Lon Stiner regime may not do much playing next autumn ... Of Bill Sheffold, the ex-Bend higher now at OSC, Bill Austin says, "He oughta be a dandy football player before he's through." Blond Bill should know, for he was somewhat of a dandy himself during his four years on the Beaver gridiron ... Dick Mason, the KOCO gent who is to air the Senator games with Bruce Williams, feels right at home when Michigan State or Kip Taylor or Bump Elliott is mentioned. Mason has been doing "coior" stuff via the airwaves on Spartan athletics the last year. He formerly worked in ladio here . . . That John Conant Keith Simon pitching deal with Spokane has the Bremerton side of the WIL in a dither. Exactly on the day the two blossomed up with i the Indians, the Bremerton Sun blossomed with a story that the Tars, ! for whom they won 40 games last season, had 'em all but back again . . . What with those two joining such gents as Larry Barton, George Valine, Tuck Stainback, Joe Rossi, Kenny Richardson. Jack Calvey i and Bill Werbowski on the-Spoke club, the Injuns might up and fool j many of the folks before the league is too far along. Gad, and we picked tm to finish last! . . . League Has Its Share of the 'Beanpoles'' Notice how many tall firs have popped up in the league this spring? Vancouver has a six-foot five-inch first sacked, Bremer ton has an outfielder of the same dimension and Tacoma goes both an inch better in having a six-foot-sixer on first base. Last one of such height to play in the loop was Bill White, the 6-5 Victoria outfielder of 1947. Before him it was one Gordon Mann, a 6-5 pit cher with Tacoma in 1938. Since then there have been some big enes Bob Costello and George Vico to name a couple but they end at 6-4 or less. The town Senators have their contribution to the king sixers again this year in Johnny Bianco. He goes up to S-4 . . . If they don't cut it out, they'll have Slats Gill, and John Warren drooling all over the place on baseball nights hereabouts.
