Arit.. March 20 UrV- The chances of the New York Giants to improve their sixth' place National League finish of 195 seem to rest mainly on whether or not one-man gang Willie May i can offset what is probably , the league's poorest pitching staff. Aside from the brilliant Johnny Antonelli, who had a 20-13 record in 1956, there Isn't a Giant hurler who won more than seven big league decisions last year. Manager Bill Rigneys second Giant campaign is hung heavily with "if's," including besides finding first-line backing of Anto nelli on the mound whether two rookies and one old war horse can become new Giant regulars. Andre Rodgeri, rangy ex-cricket player from the Bahamas, thus far falls into the "can't miss" Linfield Nine Gets Ready For '57 Baseball Season LINFIELD COLLEGE, McMinnviile, March SO (Special) The defending champion Linfield Wildcats of the Northwest Conference are hard at it. getting trimmed up for the coming baseball season.

He has lucrative business Interests In the buzzing city and also has a very fine position as a public relations man for a large national construction outfit.' As one native put It during a discussion, "Doak Is making it, hand over fist" ... The boating craze has hit Texas to, despite a scarcity of lakes. We learned that thousands of people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have boats and think nothing of driving as far as 200 miles to t lake on the weekends so that they can enjoy the boating sport. "If you think not," ....Southwest Conference officials commissioner Abb Curtis was saying, "just take a ride on most any highway in these parts over the weekend. At times it seems like there are as many boats as there ae automobiles going up and down the road." ... Friel Says Gambee Better Than Beck Even though his Lary Beck was a one-man scoring gang for the Washington Staters this season, Jack Friel of the WSC's says Dave Gambee of Oregon State is a far better all-around basketeer . . .

Deposed Port land Bevo manager Tommy Holmes didn't have to wait long to nab another baseball Job. He's now the Brooklyn area scout for the Dogers, and this makes the third time the Brooks have hired him after he's lost ether jobs. . . Another ex-baseball manager, Eddie Joost, Is now In the candy Tending business la the Bay Area of California. . . Noteworthy In Oregon State's recent sweep of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate wrestling title for the third ' straight year is the role former Salem prep whiz Ken Noteboom played. Coach Dale Thomas lost both of his 'top heavyweight grapplers, John Witte because of his turning professional and George Meyers (also from Salem) because of an Injury. Se he turned to Noteboom, a more 180-pounder with loads of desire, and Noteboom rewarded him with a fourth place finish in the heavyweight class. Also, did you note that three Oregon school-OSC, Ore gon and Portland State-finished 1-2-3 in the Coast mat meet? TO La CU3DGLMIW Most glamoroifs car In a generation No oflier car even challenges its performance ! Here are some figures for comparison. We believe they talk louder than words, and that you will find this message worth reading. So mnch lias been said about the good looks of the 1957 Chrysler that yon may have the impression its reputation , rests on styling alone. The truth is it's tea more impressive in action. Three performance . figure prove this. Here is the first! Chry tier's Fire power VS engine 'pack 325 hp (and up to 375 hp in th Chrysler 300-C), topi in tin industry. Is horsepower the only way yon judge performance? Certainly nob There's engine displacement and torque. Chrysler's displacement is 392 cu. In. What about torque, the real pay-dirt power that tarns the wheels? Chrysler's torque is 430 lb.-ju mt 2800 rpm, again tops in the industry. More power than yon need? Maybe. But it means nnquestioned command of the highway when yon want it. It means your Chrysler will stay like new mnch longer because it can loaf where other cars strain. So yon see, when we call this car the Mighty Chrysler we mean just that . . . the mightiest pa ' the highway! Come in and drive it soon. ' SALEM AUTOMOBILE COMPANY 0435 II. COMMERCIAL ST., PH.

In his first nine spring exhibition games, 22 year-old, feet, 3 Rod ger slammed It hits in S3 trips, including 4 homers, for a .346 average and 9 RIB's. Saner taunted I'paa The other rookie on the spot, Os sie Virgil, has been getting all the chance in the world at third base where the enigmatic Foster Castleman -and nonchalant Hank Thompson could have done much better last year. Virgil hit .265 for Minneapolis last season. The oldster who must produce, as a cleanup man, no less, is 38-year-old Hank Sauer. now tabbed at Rigney's left fielder. Rigney is banking that Sauer, league RBI champion in 1952 with 121 for the Cubs, somehow might have some thunder left in his mace. Playing in 75 games for the St. Louis Car dinals last year, big Hank batted a good .298. A player who could make a big difference for the Giants is first baseman Gail Harris, who again is hitting the hide off the ball this spring with 14 hits, including 4 homers, good for 17 RBI's in his first 30 AB's. In the past Harris got cooler as the summer sun got hotter, three times winning his ticket back to Minneapolis. Westrana to be Warkherse Four Giant positions are in cap able hands, including center ield where one of baseball's greatest. the incomparable Mays, roams: second base, guarded by old pro Red Schoendienst; right field, oc cupied by one of the majors' most underrated players, Don Mueller1; and catching, where veteran Wes Westrum must carry a heavy load. j Westrum figured to be No. 1 receiver this year until Bill' Sar ni's career was apparently ended by a heart attack early in spring training. Utility man Bobby Hof man could be Westrum's chief re lief, although Rigney admits the Brilliant 3 1 u , j . : ft.. r L Giants- hope to deal for a catcher before the season starts. About the only good thing you can say about Rigney's pitching is that he has scintillating south paw Antonelli and more lefties, seven, than any other National League club. The advantage of the latter, beyond dubious aggregate quality, is the Giants do have some trade bait in that depart ment. The Cubs, with, one lefty, are crying for Portslde help. Rigney's list of starters, beyond Antonelli, includes Al Worthington (7-14) last season; Dick Littlefield who came back to the Giants when Jackie Robinson abandoned base ball; Ruben Gomes 17-17); and somebody from among Joe Mar goneri -; and Curt Barclay and Pete Burnside. who won 20 between them at Minneapolis last year. How much Rigney is anchored with "if's" is tipped off in his ad mission that Vthitey Lockman back' from the Cardinals, or the tested Spencer, as swing men may be playing "all the time." Lockman could be at first base, left field or right field. Spencer may return to shortstop, take over at third or spell Schoendienst at second. Statesman, Salem, Ore.Thur.. Mar. 21, '57 (Sec.
