Sunday sorties: i
The guy who really flattened the Dick Greco deal for the Senators
is Brillheart, Tacoma mgr. The Solons made a fancy trade proposal
to San Diego, through Portland, for the huge home run hitter. When
the Padres put it up to Brillheart,
skipper of their farm clu bat Taco
ma, he mixed it for ; fear Greco
would return to haunt him. Which
Big Richard could easily do. (Remember-the
Sinovic deal?) Padre
chiefs then told George Emigh that
the only, club in the WIL Greco
1 will play for will be .Tacoma . . .
Any of you guess "rain" on your
cards in the Breakfast club opening
night attendance contest? If so you
might win by quite a splash . . .
Hope this isn't a harbinger of things
to come: Two pitching Joes on the
8-deep Victoria staff Mishasek and
Blankenship held the .Vancouver
Caps varsity to four measly hits in
one of the final tunetip tilts the
other day . . . Question is asked, how
come Portland didn't try for Ken
Keltner since Cleveland let him go?
One answer could be that the Bevos
would rather wait five more years
and let Keltner play for nine other
clubs before they're ready for him
... Mebbe we shouldn't have said that, for Czar Mulligan actually
did send up a season pass to all Vaughn street games for us . . . WU's
Bob Hall, who expects to better 200 feet in the javelin this spring,
will participate in the annual Drake Relays at Des Moines, one of the
big track events iri the nation . ... In answer to a couple of requests,
that nails-anvil-sledge hammer act belong to The Great Atlas and
produced at the armory last Tuesday night is no phoney. Nor was the
hunk of anvil the doc dug out of our leg after knifing around in it
for 30 minutes afterward. Nary a nail pierced Atlas' manly chest, and
we belted the anvil as hard as we could. Fact is we hit it so hard it
chipped and shot a wad into what is now a right sore leg. (Yep, we're
the same Jerk who has many times warned others not to get in any
ring with a rassler.) . , .
Laff of the Dwyer's nirhtery for the past week concerns wh
eppened to Boss George's teeth. In some way or another George
lost his upper plate one eve and then swore up and down some
one copped it while he was yawning. (PS: He found the clackers
In a salad bowl three days later.)
Operation on Heel Over, Clint Eyes Comeback
Clint Cameron, the WU grad who led the WIL in hitting (.350)
last season for Wenatchee, has had the big operation on his ailing
heel and now feels that he's ready to again have his whirl at Triple
A baseball. It was the bad heel that slowed Clint down to a fast
walk and Cut his career, short with the Hollywood club. It was quite
noticeable that the thing bothered Cameron even if not his swinging
bat all last season. He's again with the Tri - City -elub (last year's
Wenatchees) and is playing; the oiitfield. If the heel comes around as
expected, he'll not be long; for tiis league. The guy wields too big
a bat for that fate . . J i .
Both Calgary and Edmonton In Canada will have Western In
ternational league franchise by 1951, it says In a Vancouver, B.C.
paper. Wonder If George Norgan has been popping off again?..'.
When (and if) the Senators get In their Tuesday night commen
cer with Tacoma. John (Moose) Clabaurh will officially be on the
Salem roster. Not as a player, but as first base coach. That will
be Clabaufh's farewell appearance until next spring, as his vaca
tion Is about over and he's due back at his Job on the Bonneville'
dam . . . Incidentally, the Senators will take 40-minute rest
atop every time they bus by the dam.. Reason: Ad Liska Is an
ardent fisherman and Clabaugh will by then know where and
when every salmon and trout will be,' for 20 miles either side of
Bonneville.' We've even heard that El Moose has detoured part of
we ran lauaer uireugn au back yard ...
How They'll Finish in WIL for 1950 (Ha!)
Rumor around Corvallis that
won't make KiD Taylor's eleven,
of lettermen, transfers, etc., for coming season. Big Sam is apt to
chase the lot of 'em into the hills If he's as good as a collegian as
he was a high schooler, however . . . Don't forget KSLM's fine major
league baseball feature opening Tuesday. The station will bring at
1:30 p.m.j daily the play-by-play on top major league game, starting
Tuesday with the New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox American
league opener. Good deal, that . . .. t
Comes now the annual dip into the dope bucket by the dope-who
dopes the WIL'ers sans the actual use of dope (no foolin'!). In other
words, our prediction on how the Western International league derby
will wind up come September 10 if it's stopped raining by then.
After having picked Salem to finish sixth a year ago, which is Just
where the Solons finished, we're qualified to try again. So
1. Yakima (Always stick with a winner.) 1. Vancouver (For no
particular reason other than they finished there last year.) 3. Vic
toria (We like that pitching staff.) 4. Spokane (Might be the sur
prise outfit of the loop.) ' 5. TrI-Clty (Pete will come up with
something fifth 'place.) C. Salem (Glad to apologise if we'ro

Bad news from Texas: Wally Flager is suffering from a sore throw

The addition of the sixer to the
10 - round main event between
Portland lightweight sensation
Don Rogers and the rugged Joe
Pradon of San Jose takes care of
the bulk of the card. Salkeld will
add the trio of four-rounders later.

a rematch of the pairho swiped

In it Bobby Schaeffer 18-year-'

was a punch - packed draw two
weeks ago, with Schaeffer roar

to gain the tie. It was the best
fight on the card, so Salkeld has
tipped it to fix heats this time
In the hope that one or the other
-will post a knockout win In the
later rounds. Schaeffer feels that
he can deck the negro if he has
more time than four rounds al

The Rogers - Pradon mainer
figures! to be a good bout, inas

Club at PU Tonight
Southpaw Ken Wyatt, who
spent most of last season tossing
snowballs at Eskimos in Alaska
while he resided on pro baseball's
inactive 1st, has drawn Manager
Ad Liska's opening night mound
assignment for the 1950 WIL. com
mencer with Tacoma at Waters
field Tuesday night Blond BUI
Beard, the Senators manager last
season will be behind the plate.
Wyatt was with the Salems in
1947-48, winning consistently for
the club both seasons.
The balance of Liska's opening
night lineup is practically set.
Dick Bartle, with the Club last
season, will be at first base.
Wayne Peterson, another hold
over regular, will be at second
if his ailing back has respended
to treatment sufficiently by then.
If not, Gene Gaviglio, who has
seen service with Wenatchee and
Yakima in recent WIL campaigns',
will take over.
Nick Muti, the Cal-State league
grad will be at shortstop, and Bob
Haddock, husky third sacker also
up from Cal-State will be sta
tioned at the far turn.
In the outfield will be Mel
tHambone) Wasley in left, Hal
Zurcher or Bud Shepard in cen
ter and Orrin Snyder in right
Wasley and Snyder are holdovers.
Zurcher spent most of last season
with .Boise of the Pioneer loop
and Shepard is a grad of the Sun
set loop. The fleet Zurcher, easily
the top defensive outfielder on
the squad swings from the right
side, and Shepard, a biggie at 190
pounds, cuts from the left" side.
There is the chance that Liska
may come up with some last
minute help' from, the parent
Portland Beavers. For example, if
Eddie Barr should be optioned
down, he'll open in center field.
The Tacoma Tigers, sailing un
der Mgr. Jim Brillheart, are
scheduled to arrive in town either
today or Monday from Bakers
field, where they underwent
spring training. Brillheart already
has nominated either Mel Knezo
vich or Clint "Huf ford as his start
ing pitcher. Knezovich was with
Tacoma part of last season and
has been looking sharp with San
Diego this spring. Hufford is the
big righthander who was a top
notcher with Hollywood during
the war but who was out of base
ball last season with a leg injury.
Other familiar faces on the Ta
coma roster belong to Outfielders
Glen Stetter and Dick Wenner,
First-baseman Wimpy , Quinn,
Shortstop Al Cohen, Catcher Bill
Sheets and Pitchers Gordon Wal

and Knezovich.
: Last night's scheduled, double

Takeoff Ready
Tacoma vs. Senators
In Local Commencer
By Al LIghtner
Statesman Sports Editor
The Western InternatfanaT
league's 150 - game schedule for
1950 is booked for embarkation
Tuesday night. The circuit's llth
opener win Iind Tacoma at Sa
lem, Victoria at Spokane, Yakima
at Wenatchee and Vancouver at
the new Tri - Cities (Richland
Pasco - Kennewick). But unless
the weather does a turnabout
from its nipups of the nast counla
of weeks, league officials will ab
sorb a severe setback to their as
pirations of having the 1950 cam
paign off to a flying start toward
a one million attendance year.
Three new managers will make
their WIL debuts Tuesday and
two others in the holdover de
partment will be guiding differ
ent teams than they had last year.
The newcomers are Marty Kug,
sr., at Victoria, Rupert (Tommy),
Thompson at Wenatchee and Ad
Liska at Salem, Alan Strange,
boss at Bremerton a year aeo. is
now herding the Spokane Indians.
And Jim Brillheart, who ad the
Tribe last time, is back at Ta
coma where he held the reins in
1948. Joe Orengo is back again at
Yakima where he won the pen

Wenatchee this season.
With many of 1949's topmost

Larry Barton, Dick Sinovic, Jack
Warren, Al Libke. Hal Rhyne.
George Stainback, Edo Vannl, Bud
Sheely, Gil Dougald, Keith Sim

Peterson, Bob Cherry, Jack Parks.
Ted Jennings, John Marshall, Cal

of 43 with Wenatchee. Vic Buc
