Here's Panoramic Shot of Relays Classic r. 'V. - 4 in The above photo thews a packed grandstand and some of the participants who took part in the first an - nu&l Willamette Relays Saturday afternoon at Mc Colleen field. Perhaps the biggest one-day cinder meet In northwest history, the Relays drew close to a thousand athletes from colleges and high schools of the state. The weather man cooperated with a perfect, sun-lit day.

Following the workout . Luby announced that Tedeschi will start in center field Sunday afternoon when the So lon engage the Oakland, Calif Lucky Lagers In an exhibition game. - The Salem skipper also said that Bill Bevens, the big Salem native who's been nursing himself along slowly in spring drills, will open gainst the Oakland team. Big Bill Informed Luby today that he feels he is ready to toss a few at the enemy. ( Bevens is slated to hurl only a few Innings Sunday, with Johnny Burak then taking over. If Bev ens looks effective at all against the strong Lucky Lagers, he will have the starting nod when the Senators face Stockton there Tuesday night. -i : With Tedeschi taking over the center field job, Luby has pulled hard-hitting Johnny Hack into the thick of the fight for the third base post. Hack will have to con tend with Ken Jensen and Glen Tuckett for the hot corner posi tion but will have an edge because f his better hitting ability. Jensen, incidentally, won't see much action for a couple of days because of a bruised leg sustained a couple of days ago. .., One of the chief topics of con versation In the Salem camp Is the great hitting of squat Mel Wasley. Mel has . been hitting everything thrown his way, his big feat, of course, being those lour homers In two games. Was ley seems determined to make up for the relatively bad year ha had with the Solons in 1950. Good news also came from another direction today. Luby ra- Esrted that a conference with Joe ?vine, west coast New York Yankee scout, had brought the encouraging word - from Devine that the Yanks may - possibly corns through with a couple of ball players to help the Solons along. Just what or who they . might be is not known at this time." Hurlers Johnny Lopeman and Fred Parker have slight cases of sore-arm-itis at this point but arc expected to work out of it soon. Salem breaks camp Tuesday, heading north for the Stockton game, first of several road exhi bition games.

The Farmer and bis f ear-legged accomplice ' are reportedly just as adept at putting the fans In stitches as In their other ap pearances here. y Skaaland got his title shot at Stojack after coming out on top In last week's 8-man tourney. This is the hi chance for the gent from the east coast and Stojack will be expecting plenty of trouble. Matchmaker Elton Owes has lined up a couple of prelims which . also promise plenty of action. One of the 2t minute ses sions re-matches Herb Parka and CoL Frank Murdeek of Waxaaat ehie, Tex. Parks demanded the rematch after losing to the colonel In : last week's tourney, Herb claimed Murdeek beat him with an illegal "sleeper held." Plenty ef grudge will be present in this scrap.

Wild Grand National Classic Captured by 40 to 1 Longshot AINTREE, England, 'April T -(")- The grand national, steeple chase turned into a tumbling nightmare today as 34 horses fell or lost their riders.: Only the winner, Nickel Coin and the runnerup, Royal Tan, came home without mishap. Only three horses finished, one a remount. Arctic Gold, the 8 to 1 post- bers of the squad will bo cut loose. Two other pleasure notes for the Senators are the hitting of veteran first-sacker George McDonald and the all-round brilliant work of shortstop Ritchie Myers. "Myers will take a lot of base hits away from the foe this sea son, comments Luby I with a broad smile.

That is the noted canal turn, where the horses must veer sharply to the left to avoid the Leeds-Liverpool canal skirt ing the course. Arctic Gold had taken the lead from Caesar's Wife and Rowland Roy two fences ear lier at Bechers Brook. By the time Arctic Gold went down, almost all of the other pop ular horses were gone too, in one of the most astonishing nationals since the first one raced in 1839. Thirty-one horses fell or lost riders in the first two and one quarter miles of this catastrophic race. The crowd of 250,000 screamed and waved arms in tense excitement. Nickel Coin, a 40 to 1 shot, par tial to Duck Eggs and Irish Beer, won the four mile and 856-yard race by six lengths from Royal Tan. Jockey Tony Power was thrown clear by Derrinstown about a mile from home. He re mounted and the horse finished third. Royal Tan started at 22 to 1, and Derristown was, 66 to 1. Jockeys, owners and trainers blamed the fiasco on a bad start. Porterfield May Be Key C5(3SlfiEI .By Jack Stevens 1 AP Newceaturca PHOENIX, Ariz. -!

He wasn't worried about his first line flingers, Vic Raschi, Ed Lopat, Allie Reynolds and Tommy Byrne.

He ' won nine while losing only one after coming- up from Kansas City. Then Stengel added ja note to show that all was not pessimism. He said if some of the others do show up well the teams could be "better off than last year." The veteran pilot ran down a lengthy list ranging from a pair of rookies to the 35-year-old Bob Muncrief, coming back to the majors after a year at Los Angeles where he won 15 and lost 17. "A man who could make the difference la Bob Porterfield. He looked great when called up in 194S but developed elbow trouble the following year and last season was struck in the head. This might be Porter field's season. j Joe Page, the relief j hurler so instrumental in the 1949 title drive but only a 3-7 performer last sea son, may be the pitching link the Yanks can regain this season. "He's got to do better," says Casey hopefully. Rookies getting the most early notice are Tom Morgan, with Binghamton last season, and Max Peterson, whom the .Yanks drafted from Toronto. Either could make the grade. Experienced pitchers who may hold the Yankee answer Include Tom Ferrick, who came to the club from the St, Louis Browns last season to win eight while losing four, and Fred Sanford. a 5-4 performer in 195. There could be others. The Yanks are carrying a long string of pitchers on their early spring roster. !

Snead putted like a demon with the copper-headed club he flaunt ed in 1949 to win this title with 282 and launch a series of link suc cesses. -J "If I had been playing as well from tee to green, today as I did in 1949 and putting the same way I would have been eight or nine shots better," the 36-year-old slammer said. . . " ' Snead one-putted eight - greens and used only 28 strokes on the greens, eight under regulations. Hogan, the Fort Worth gamester who has won every important U. S. title except this, fired a 38-34 that did not completely satisfy him. I didnf think my shots out very well, he said, "I picked the wrong club a couple of times." This was particularly true on the par three sixth where he missed the green and took a four and on the seventh where he skied his drive and wound up with a one over five. Jim Frerier, the advance fav orite and leading money winner of the year, shot a 74 for a 218 that counted out his chances. He blew up in the final six holes a year ago to lose out to Demaret.
