Bevens Leaves
For Redlegs'
Baseball Camp
By AL LIGHTNER
Statesman Sports Editor
Salem's Floyd (Bill) Bevens
Wednesday joined the exodus of
major league baseball's battery
men to early spring training drills.
The big pitcher who won 20 games
for the town Senators last season
and was drafted in December by
the Cincinnati Reds, departed
Wednesday morning by train for
the Redleg training camp at Tam
pa. Fla.
Bevens has been employed dur
ing the winter months by the Pa
cific Coast Fast Freight organiza
tion, and has found the work ex
ceedingly helpful to his ambition
to report to the Cincy camp weigh
ing no more than 220 pounds. He
tipped the scales at 219 pounds
Tuesday night and admitted it
was his lowest weight "in the last
five or six years."
A-s for the ailing arm that cut
short his pitching effectiveness
until last season with the Senators,
Bevens revealed that it has given
him no pain during the winter.
Manager Luke Sewell of the
Redlegs had indicated that he will
count on Eevens to be the club's
No. 1 relief 'pitcher during the
coming season. Not one who has
taken tc fireman assignments with
any degree of success in the past,
the former New York Yankee
hopes to beable to win a starter's
role during the tuneups in Florida.
Bevens' wife, Mildred, and
their three sons, Larry, Danny and
Bobby saw him off at the local
railroad station Wednesday. Sen
ators General Manager Hugh
Luby, who predicts that Bevens
will make good with Cincinnati,
also was on hand to wish him good
luck.
NORTH MARION WINS
NORTH MARION UNION HIGH
SCHOOL - (Special) - The North
Marion High wrestling team
Wednesday night scored a 48 to
10 victory over the visiting Os
wego mat squad.
The WIL has lost its top umpire. Coast League bulletin says Joe
( Herman ) Iatovetti is among three new arbiters for the PCL in '52,
a reward for Iacovetti for his two seasons of fine work in the WI. . .
Not among those present lor
Coast labors this trip, however,
is Johnny Nenezich who only
last season made the grade fol
lowing many years of service in
the WIL. Domestic troubles at
home (Seattle) forced Nenezich
to quit. . .'. Speaking of umpires,
'tis a good bet ol Val Valencourt
won't be around the local loop
the coming campaign, even
though his presence (particularly
at Waters Field) would tend to
liven things up considerably. The
fresh vegetable business would
boom were he to return for a
"Valencourt Night" here. Come
to think of it, we're right happy
vegetables aren't sold in the
foyer of Gill Coliseum. . . . Any
local organization care to show
the films of last season's East
W e s t Shrine football game?
They're available, for free,
through the Tidewater Associated Oil Co. All you need do is write
to the company office in Portland for proper arrangement. . . . Many
ballgamers we know can be thankful they aren't to play under new
SF Seals Mgr. Tommy Heath next season. He'll demand that coats
and neckties be worn when at dinner, and that all players meet a
12-midnight curfew! Ouch! . . . Victoria wants Ted Norbert as '52
manager for the Vies, but right now Ted wants too big a chunk
of what funds the Vies have to spend. Another gent linked with the
Victoria job is Cece Garriott, former Los Angeles .slugger. ... He
doesn't get to play too much any more, but Harv Wahlgren", one of
the better par-busters in the area almost 10 years ago, is again a
native. Wahlgren is now employed at the Capital City Bindery.
Hasn't got much to show for his remembered links efforts, however,
as the Vanport flood of a few years ago wiped out all his trophies
and other momentos . . .
Oklahoma City U Could Be Corvallis Entry
Good bet to be one of the four teams in the NCAA quarter
finals action at Corvallis March 21-22 is Oklahoma City Uni
versity. The O-City quint, ranked weekly among the nation's top
20 teams, isn't a member of any conference and could easily be
picked as one of the teams at large from the area west of the
Mississippi. And since Seattle U also has been flirting with a
steady berth in the nation's "top 20," chances are better than
even that the Chieftains and their illustrious "Johnny O" could
be the other "at large" entry.
The other two teams will be Washington (if the Huskies can
beat the Southern Division, Coast Conference champ in their up
coming playoff), and the champion of the Mountain States Confer
ence. Should Wyoming win the latter title, and should Washington
come through on the Coast, they'll be playing a sort of a preview
series at Laramie this weekend. The Huskies go against Wyoming
at Laramie Friday and Saturday nights. ...
Local fans who have been wishing that Johnny Lewis' Bear
cats could have another crack at the Portland U Pilots this sea
son, as a measure of making amends for the setback WU suffered
at the hands of Mush Torson's Portlanders early in the campaign,
may get that wish. Portland and Willamette are virtual certain
ties as .two entries In the NAD3 (small college) tournament at
Portland next month, winner of which represents the district la
a Kansas City conclave.
The Willamettes came within a wilted whisper of knocking over
the Pilots in the same tournament a year ago.
Myers Signed No Draft9 Pact With Sacs
Another PCL'er who signed one of those new draft waiving con
tracts is Richie Myers, Hero No. 2 with the town Senators last sea
son. And of Rifle-armed Richie, Sacramento co-owner Charles Gra
ham has this to say:
"Myers was our problem child for four years. Last year at
Salem, be grew up. He may be our shortstop after a battle with
Len Ratto. After. I talked with him, he said he'd waive bis draft
rights forever.
Senators Boss Luby feels that Richie will win the battle with
Ratto. At "any rate, Luby intends spending much time in the Sacra
mento camp at Modesto early in March, and you can bet he'll do
lending the young shortstopping whiz a helping hand at all turns. . .
Should you be interested in poetry, how about this one, bor
rowed from Hal Wehmeier's column in the Corvallis Gazette-Times:
REFEREES
I think that I shall never see
A satisfactory referee,
About whose head a halo shines
Whose merits rate reporter's lines. .
One who calls them as they are
And net as I should wish, by far.
A gent who leans not either way
But lets the boys decide the play.
A guy wholl sting the coach who yaps -'
From Slwash Hi or old Millsaps.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God could referee

Tactics Praiv
Czarnota, a 26-year-old defense
player from Wakefield, Mass., was
charged with having attacked Gian
Bazzi of the Swiss team during
Tuesday's game. He was given a
five-minute major and ten-minute
misconduct penalties.
One nation, competing in the
Olympic tournament, demanded
heavier punishment for. the Amer
ican and suggested suspending him
for next two or three games. Of
ficials declined to identify the na
tion but it was generally believed
to be Switzerland.
American style of play against
Switzerland drew protests from
the Norwegian crowd, which threw
orange peels on the ice and yelled
"Chicago gangsters." The game
was stopped for four minutes to
quiet the crowd. Europeans do not
use hard body contacts and the
aggressive style of Americans and
Canadians.
The Neue Zuricher Zeitung, a
Swiss newspaper, described the
U. S. players as "rowdies" and de
manded that "the pollution of Eu

HOUSTON (if) The guys who

Some 164 pros- and amateurs
will string out over Memorial

only have to travel 6,800 yards the
first day,' but the tee markers will
be shoved back the next three
days.
Friday they'll have to go 6,950
yards, Saturday 7,000 yards and
on the final day Sunday will play

This will be the first long course
the pros will have played on the

the professionals' own idea.
Dempsey Rates
Current Crop
CHICAGO (P)-Jack Dempsey
did a bit of handicapping for the
current crop of heavyweights. The
old Manassa Mauler, speaking be
fore the Union League Club, had
this to say about today's fighters:
Harry Kid Matthews Good
fighter, except he is a lightheavy,
not a heavyweight. One handicap,
he's getting old. He's 29.
Clarence Henry Lots of ability
and a terrific puncher. If he im
proves in the next six months like
he has in the last eight, may wind
up the champion.
Ezzard Charles Good fighter,
but like Matthews, he's a light
heavyweight. Joe Walcott Gives his best but
he's old.
Rocky Marclano Pretty good
puncher, but doesn't have much
savvy. Not too much experience.
Can he hit a good man?
"The fight game today is con
trolled by one group which is
helping to put the small clubs out
of business," Dempsey also ob
served. "Fighters are juggled
around so that an individual
doesn't actually own a title."

and advised General Manager John
Quinn that his draft board had denied
his requests for a dependency defer
ment. Nichols, the rookie southpaw who
