Estacada at Silverton and Mol- openers. Canby Is defending cham pion, but Coach Hank Ercolini's Cougars have been hard hit by graduations and the 1952 race looms as a real tossup. Ercolini has but seven lettermen in Backs Curt Hovland, Bob Her man and Bob Kraft, and Linemen Roger Montgomery, Ron Hadsall, Arlan Bigbam and John Bel ton. Silverton could come up with the surprise entry for this years race. Dean Stiles. Jack Todd.

Friday : i Wife 1 tm - -flu ji "' i iii " mi'i., i ihiiiim 1 The shortened left and center field fences at the ball park made for more home runs over those barricades during the '52 season (nine as compared, to only three in 1951), but the overall output of round- trippers - here doesn t leave one with1 the impression that the cir cuit boasted its share of embryon ic Babe Ruths. . Only 24 homers were hit in 74 league games, 13 disappearing ovcs the right field wall while nine departed rfvia the shortened left field barrier" Twenty-three were hit last seaion. Two were hit this year inside the park (by Andy Andqrson June. 16 and Gene Tanselli Aug. 9), but nary a one' flew ' over j the center field fence.. No one even came close to that hurdle, v pome to think of it. Consequently, we continue to ac cuse the manufacturers of the baseballs of kilEng the rabbits in their products. Before i the war. and even during a couple of seasons afterward, the home run output here 'ran into the thirties, forties and fifties for single seasons. The players of these days are . just as big and strong as they were then, and the pitching isn't any better. So it Aust be the deadness of the baseballs ... Connie Perez was champion of the park's homer hitters for 1952, with six-belted out in league games. Andy Anderson, Jimmy Deyo, Bill Spaeter and Vince DiBiasi were the only other Senators able to conquer, the fences, each Lewiston had two, as did Granny Gladstone of Victoria. One-timers were Walt Pocekay, Ross McCormick, . John Kovenz, Cece Garriott, Bob Williams, Milt Smith, Don Lundberg and Jerry Zuvella . . ; The Senators fell but 12 double plays short of tieing the league record, winding up with 166.

But Generalissimo Luby only Wed nesday made the remark, "Things look pretty good for us for the sea son. I think we might come out of it in pretty good shape" ... Despite drawing around 20,000 less this year than last, the , operation Is certain to finish up in much better financial shape than in '51. Which is a credit to the gents running the show. Only the sale of a couple of players last season saved the Salems from dropping around $15,000. The deficit this year.

Davey. a topflight contender for the welterweight championship, al though outweighed, completely out classed the ferocious, wild-swinging Graziano and won virtually every round. At the official weigh-in, Graziano tipped the scales at 158 and Davey at 150. Graziano, fighting with determin ation' but swinging wildly, was merely a shell of his former self. Davey, an elusive, cat-like south paw from Detroit, speared the always-crowding Graziano with jolt ing rights and smashing lefts to the head and body while always going away or circling, his wild-swinging foe. In the third round Davey doubled Graziano ud with two rippirik left hooks to the body and slowed him. perceptibly. Davey is undefeated m 3o bouts as a professional aitnougn neta 10 two draws.

"To the 7,637 fans who came out to cheer the Giants onward, this was a shameful giveaway, said Jim McCulley of The New York Daily News. "And so it must have appeared to Leo's gallant players. : "When the Giants heard Duro cher-was going to start Harshman there were plenty of raised eye brows." Ken Smith of The Daily Mirror reported the fans were "dumb founded" when Durocher picked Harshman, a former first baseman just ' recalled from Minneapolis, over regulars Jim Hearn and Dave Koslo. . - Durocher, whose relations with Giant writers reportedly have cool ed during the last ten days, said "I had to go with Harshman.
