Page Tea THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON. Wednesday, HIGH CLIMBER By DICK STRITE Joe Gordon of the Yanked and Bobby Do it of the Bed Sox, both Oregonlans, second-basemen and "clean-up" hitteis, should have their best major-league seasons this year and stage another battle for the American league batting crown. Late last June, at the height of their campaigns, Joe was leading Bobby, .367 to Ml but pre-season tilts have not Indi cated the Bending competition Cordon, in four games reported In the Sporting News, collected five h ts. including two doubles, and two runs batted in for a .357 average. Doerr. on the other hand, failed to collect a hit In three games reported. . . , Joe handled 29 chances and Bobby 16 chances without error. . . The other local product now In the majors, Bill Sayles, pitched two hltless and scoreless Innings as his New York Giants defeated the Red Sox, 4 to 0. . . . The big ex-Oregon righthander, who won 11 and lost 12 for Louisville in the American Association last year, is expected to stick with the National league club as long as Uncle Sam is willing. A recent report from Los Ange les said that Elmer Mallory, the Junction City youngster who play ed short for Oregon before sign ing with the Angels of the Coast league, would be able to play at least half and possibly the entire season with Bill Sweeney's team . . . But Mallory, who Is slated to enter the army air corps, wasn't In the lineup when the Angels de feated Oakland, 9 to 8 . , . An other familiar name was In the lineup, however. Wimpy Quinn, who played third base at Oregon and third and first for Vancouver In the Western International be fore moving to Los Angeles, played In the outfield for the Angels, hit ting a home and a single. . . . The Chicago Cubs attempted to make a hurler out of him and the form er Webfoot pitched and played the outfield In the Three-I league for seasons. , . , His appearance with the Angels was a mild surprise. Local baseball fans will have an opportunity to see blg-tlme baseballers In action on Howe field Friday afternoon when the Uni versity of Oregon Webfoots meet the Camp Adair Timber Wolves. The soldiers boast fine club, sprinkled with players with or ganized baseball experience. Most prominent among the visiting players will be John Henry "Jack" Knott and Roy Chester 'Beau" Bell. Knott, the 37-year-old right handed pitcher, has been in or ganized baseball for 20 years, the past 10 years In the major leagues and was a member of the Phila delphia Athletics' pitching staff until enterina the army. The for mer Southern Methodist collegian won only two and lost 10 for the A's last year, but the s-foot-2, 200-pounder is a better twlrler than the 1942 season records indi cate. In 1939 he won 11 and lost 6 for the Chicago White Sox, and his best season was in 1934 when he won 10 and lost 3 for the St Louis Browns .... In 1932 the 106 strikeouts while playing with switch hitter hung up a record of Milwaukee of the American Asso ciation. Bell, an outfielder and first baseman with the Browns, Tig ers and Indians for five seasons. after six years in the minors, has a life-time batting average of .301, not counting last year's por tion. The 25-year-old Texas A & formance with the Toledo Mud Hens of the American Assocta M graduate batted .344 and .340 for St Louis in 1936 and 1937 and topped the American league in two-Daggers In 1837 with 61 He bats and throws rlghthanded and will play first base for the Camp Adair team. The Timber Wolves should give Hobby Hobson and his Webfoots, as well as the fans, an Interesting aiternoon.

Faubion was offered a contract a few years ago following a tryout at a north' ern California camp conducted by the Cincinnati Red, but de clined the bid, hoping to play baseball at the University of Ore gon. The Ogden deal Is rather vague, but Ed Brauner, Faubion's old coach and Cincinnati scout. Is utndcr the Impression that the circuit Is a scml-pro league with the teams managed by former Pio neer league pilots and make up of the Pioneer leaguers still out of the service .... Mickey Shad er, California representative for the Reds, offered Fnublon the Job at something like $200 per month. Romy drPittard, halfback on the .1935 Oregon football team, was on the campus last week-end. wearing the single gold bar and wings of a second lieutenant In the army air corps. , . . Romy first entered the service as an RAF pilot and has two Impres sive rows of campaign ribbons after sen-ice In Burma and the soulli Pnrlfic. . . . Joe Miller, former Register.

U Fol lowing the lead of the Western Conference, Marquette has lifted the freshman eligibility ban for the duration. Senators McKuff Throws Out First Ball All Clubs Swing Into Action Wednesday WASHINGTON, April 21 0JB War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt was the only pitcher who lasted out the game Tuesday as the Washington Sen ators exploded for six-runs in the sixth inning to score a 7-5 vic tory over the Philadelphia Ath letics in the opening game of the major league season. A crowd of 25,093 more or less chilled fans saw the game. In the absence of President Roosevelt, who is on another war inspection tour, McNutt was call ed upon to toss out the first ball that sent the season on its way. The silver-haired commissioner, once a hurler for the University of Indiana, carried out his assign ment faultlessly which was more than could be said for the Wash ington and Philadelphia pitching staffs. Luman Harris, the A's right hander was breezing along behind a 3-0 lead and seemed headed for a shutout victory when the roof suddenly caved in on him in the sixth. The hitherto handcuffed Senators broke loose with a sur prising burst of concentrated hit ting power that took its toll of Harris and two immediate suc cessors. That was the ball game. Leonard Gives Way Before the game was over Washington added another run and Philadelphia added a fourth pitch er, but neither development was of any great consequence. Mean while, Washington had Its pitching troubles, too, but only briefly. The veteran Dutch Leonard started In quest of his first open ing day victory in five seasons. He was still looking for it last night. The A's hopped on him for two runs in the third and another in the fourth. Dutch gave way to a pinch hitter in the fourth and Alex Carrasquel came in to finish the Job with a masterful bit of relief hurling that earned him credit for the victory. Russell Christopher who suc ceeded Harris and pitched to only two batters, was charged with the loss. , As it was. McNutt Ditched the best ball. His one pitch was a Perfect strike that went into the waiting glove of Leonard who promptly pocKeiea the prized souvenir. Pre ceding the traditional first-ball tossing by McNutt was the flaa- raising parade to centerfield led by senate democratic leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky. Amer ican league president Will Har ridge and Washington club own er Clark C. Griffith. Senate re publican leader Charles McNary of Oregon watched the ceremonies from a box seat as did a dozen col leagues. McNutt Burls Strike Then came McNutt's stint. First. he exposed his handsome profile to me cameramen, men went into a snappy overhead wlndup and toss ed the strike that launched the 1943 season one which McNutt predicted would see its way to the finish despite the exigencies of war and the draft. About the game itself, Philadel phia nicked Leonard for two runs in the third on a single by Elmer Valo, doubles by Jo-Jo White and Jim Tyack and an outfield fly. Two walks, a sacrifice and a single by Valo added another in the third. Then disaster befell the A's in the sixth and it was a former teammate Bob Johnson who started all the trouble. He opened with a sharp single to right center. Before It was over, Washington added four more base hits which, with two walks, a hit batsman and a fielder's choice, were good for six runs. Stan Spcnce delivered a two-run single to right-center with the bases loaded. Harris, Christopher and Roger Wolff in turn sought to stem the attack, but in vain. The A's countered with twn In their half of the seventh on a walk, singles by Eddie Mayo and Tyack and Gerry Priddy'. wild throw Then Carrasquel turned on the neat and Philadelphia was help less. 16 Clubs Play Today Stripped of the gaudy trim mlnffs of form,r vadm league baseball steps gingerly in- . mc iuu opening program of its muia war-ume season today with a wideopen race forecast in bvth leagues.

"Old Pete," who hit the pin nacle of fame when he struck out Tony Lazzeri with the bases filled in the New York St. Louis World Series in 1926, had little illusion about his usefulness to baseball today. "There's a little too much .rubber In the old legs for me to dream about playing," he said. "But I'd like to have a go as , coach with some team. I think I could teach these young pitchers a few things." Landis Travels Three Miles To Ball Game CHICAGO, April 21 UP) Base ball Commissioner K. M.

OIK Baseball the game the Japs abandoned with sour-grape ex planations the game that pro vides the strongest bond of ath letic unity among nations of North and South America opened In eight major league cities of the United States today. The baseball season was of ficially launched with a single game at Washington, D. C, yes terday under circumstances that District Track Meet Starts at 10 A.M. Inclusion of Coos and Curry counties in the District 4 track and field meet here April 30, along with the usual entries from Lane and Douglas counties, will make necessary the staging of prelim inaries at 10 a. m. the morning of the meet, according to Fritz Kram er of Eugene high, director of the district meet. Runners, jumpers and tossers from North Bend, Marshfield, Co quille and other coast schools will make the district meet one of the strongest in the state.

Kramer said that preliminaries will be necessary in every event except the 880-yard and the mile runs. Medical blanks must ac company all individual entries, Kramer said. Pierre LaBelle to Vie Again Saturday Pierre LaBelle, the popular Frenchman who is virtually pound ing on Pacific coast light-heavyweight door, will appear in the semi-final attraction of Match maker Don Owen's weekly wrest ling show at the Pearl Street arena Saturday night. LaBelle has amassed an evi able record in his three previous appearances here triumphs over Billy McEuin, Bulldog Jackson and Tex Hager. Apparently there is no stopping the Frenchman until he is matched against Champion Jack Lipscomb, and possibly not then. Owen said Wednesday that he was attempting to sign LaBelle against another outstanding title contender and offer a title tilt to the winner. LaBelle's opponent has not been found to date. In the meantime Lane county grappling fans were staging long and heated arguments regarding the probable outcome of the mixed boxing-wrestling match between Lipscomb and Elton Owen. The local referee will be the boxer, using six-ounce gloves, and Lips comb will be the wrestler. "Under ordinary circumstances a wrestler has a great advantage over a ooxer, uwen said; "but I believe I know enough wrestling to keep out of the clutches of Lips comb. One thing is certain, and that is I'm going after a quick knockout." The headline attraction of Sat urday's performance will be over a 10-round route, with each round of three-minutes duration. The rules call for Owen to score a knockout (Lipscomb counted out the necessary 10 seconds) or for Lipscomb to score two falls (pin Owen's shoulders to the mat for three-second counts) to register victories. The local matchmaker, who ex pects another capacity attendance, said he would announce LaBelle's opponent not later than tomorrow. Mittmen Get Bonds PORTLAND, Ore., April 21 (U.R) A $50 war bond will be given the preliminary fighter who makes the best showing on future Na tional Boxing ' Association cards here.

(U.R) Betty Jameson, winner of the women's Western open and ama teur golf championships, has re vised her plans to work in a war plant in favor -of defendinn her titles this season. TROJANS WIN Z0TH LOS ANGELES, April 21 0J.R) The University of Southern Cal ifornia baseball team today won its !0th victory of the season, de feating the 174th Infantry nine 12-6. Expert Radio Repairing C. II UREY. CO. 94 W. 8th rhone 4461 should strengthen the ties of Pan Americanism. The enthusiasm of Uncle Sam's, citizens for today's general opening also should warn the Axis that the United States is taking the war in stride, even though that 'stride is mighty big. Considering the Pan-American angles of the Washington open ing, we note that (1) President Roosevelt was unable to throw out the first 'ball in traditional fashion because he was doing some important pitching down Mexico way; (2) Vice-President Wallace, likewise was unable to toss the initial "pill because he Is in South America, and (3) the Senators beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-5, aided by Senor Alejandro Carrasquel of Venezu ela, who pitched the last five in nings for Washington and was credited with the first mound vic tory of the 1943 campaign. The value of major league base ball to the morale of civilian United States and as a listening- in diversion for our service men overseas often has been pointed out. But the importance of the diamond divertisement as a bond of mutual interest between the U.S.A. and our neighbors In Canada, and particularly in Latin America, too often is overlooked. Most Latin-American countries are extremely baseball conscious. Millions of fans in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and the nations of South America follow the prog ress of our major league pennant races with the same enthusiasm as our home folks. And they play me game inemseives so proii ciently that thef have sprinkled our minor leagues with renresen tatives, and even sent some of their stars up to the majors. Right now there are five Latins in the majors: Carrasquel with Washington; Hiram Bithom of Puerto Rico and Salvador Hem. andez of Cuba with the Cubs Roberto Estatella of Cuba with the Athletics, and Napoleon Reyes of Cuba with the Giants. If we have another wartime major league season in 1944, we can expect to see many more Latin-Americans in the opening lineups. Kramer Enters Axemen In No-Name Track Meet Coach Fritz Kramer said here Wednesday that he would enter a full squad of track and field men in the No-Name championships to be held at Salem next Saturday afternoon.
