In these days, many arHtio pitching- duels such as the 12-inning gem spun by the Senators' Ray j McNulty and Tri City's Ralph Romero at Waters Park Sunday night. Sure, fans lore those home-run clouters; they glory in watching bills shower over the fences. But youll also find that the genuine ball fan species likes nothing better than a tight and suspensefnl pitching drama snch as the one of Sunday night in which one run looms as large as Mt. Everest . . . There does seem to be something of a departure this season from the tall walloping of other years and it seems to in clude baseball generally. Take the American League, flnstance. Up to now there have been eight 1-0 contests in the Junior circuit and that is one more than the total for the entire 1951 season . . . As for McNulty. let's ail hope that fortune Smiles more kindly upon Ray at some fntnre date and gives him a no-utter nerere ne , m 37 other locations on June 2.

Mechanics took over the 33 cars that qualified before the .trials ended Monday and began check ing them for any flaws that might have developed. The garages said no serious difficulties had been found. j Rail birds surmised the race pace would be slower than the aver age of 135.504 miles an hour made by the field in the 10-mile quali fying runs.

Well, there's no argument that a number of the Kid's foes have been other than world-beaters, but why is there any real reason to condemn him for it. After all. "name" boys are few and far between as scarce as model Ts in a 3 motor show.

May 21 lSSSUt PCL Retains Stand Against Major Exhibitions LOS ANGELES (P-Direclora of the Pacific Coast BaaebaU League "reiterated" Tuesday that there will be no exhibition games permitted in Coast League parka even days prior to the opening of the 1953 season next April 1. President Clarence Rowland, at the' conclusion of s special meeting, declined to elaborate on a question as to whether the "reiteration" meant that th- ban against Major League teams play ing exhibitions against each other In PCL parks might be revised. Rowland merely answered that he would confer later this year with the Major League officials when they draft their 1953 exhi bition schedule for the West. Last March 18 the Coast League voted to ban all Major League team exhibitions in its parks, and also decreed that no exhibitions would be permitted during the seven days prior to the opening of the league. Prior to Tuesday's session .It had been rumored that the PCL might relax its ban against the all-major team exhibitions. Rowland said that the directors did not discuss another subject the league's previous decision not to accept players on option from the majors after this year. Postponed until next year was a proposal for the coast champion to play a post season series tn Mexico City. Mexican officials said facilities for such a series will not be ready until then. Still In the "communication" stage Is another proposition for the pennant winners to play In Japan, according to Charles Graham of the Sacramento elub.

Like a good many other team followers we feel that it would be appropriate if we all turned out to show the guy we ap preciate his work as a pitcher and are behind him 100 per cent. KOCO Sportcaster Gene Good and Capital Journal Sports Editor Chris Kowitz are giving the pro ject a push also. No, McNulty and the Senators know nothing about it now. It's being done as a surprise. There will be no gifts, no speeches. Just an appropriate and short spiel over the "pee-ay" system when McNulty first goes to the mound to pitch against Victoria Friday night. He definitely will hurl the second game of the twin bill. So what say let's get out and give the red-head a rousing pat on the back on "Ray for Ray" night. in 1948 and 1950, teetered on the brink of disaster before he rallied his game for an extra-hole victory over Joe Gent, 53-year-old Briton and probably the most surprised subject in thetkingdom. Chapman, 41-year-old socialite from Pinehurst, N. C, who is de fending titleholder, ran into a tiger in W. C. Gibson," former Scottish champion, but applied pressure where needed to prevail, 2 and 1. Maxwell, North Texas State collegian from Odessa, Tex., and U. S. amateur king, had less trouble in conquering Scotland's E. W. Fiddian, 3 and 2. It was the second straight vic tories for both Chapman and Maxwell, who moved into the fourth round one round ahead of Stranahan. Americans won 14 of their 19 matches and gained five berths in the fourth round, which will be completed Wednesday. Also in the fourth round was Merrill Hval of Portland, Ore., who downed I. M. Roberts of Scotland, 5 and 4. Murphy Flattens Foe in Toledo TOLEDO, O.
