(The St. Louis Star-Times, re porting a telephone conference with Jorge Pasquel, Mexican League president, at his Mexico City home. Friday quoted him as saying: "The baseball war is on again as a result of Mickey Owen's desertion from my league after signing a five-year contract We will redouble all efforts to encourage the biggest stars in ma jor league baseball to come here and accept our large salaries.") Galan's statement was corrob orated by Roy Hughes, Philadel phia Phillies infielder and also a player representative in the con ferences with the owners. He claimed that Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox batting ace. has been offered a signed blank check tot bit services in 1M7. Mulloy, McNeill In Court Finals SOUTH ORANGE, N.

The probable starting lineups follow: ' West Team Wins Boys'TilMO-4 CHICAGO ) The West walloped the East, 10-4 Saturday in the Ail-American Boys' base ball game before 28.211 at Wrlg ley Field, and major league scouts obtained a good look at wild and wooly baseball as played by inspired lads from city and crossroads. Immortal Ty Cobb watched his Western squad take its first victory In the three-year-old series by effectively mixing 10 hits with 14 walks oft five East pitchers used by Honus "Hans" Wagner. The East triumphed 8-0 in 1944 and 8-4 last year at New York's Polo Grounds in the teen aged classic sponsored by Esquire Magazine. I The game had its heroes, I among them. Outfielder Walt Roeekay from Richmond, Calif., who belted four hits in five trips, but it) general a bevy of major scouts saw "ivory" that made all the mistakes likely from 16 and 17-y ear-oldsters in a big league park. The winning pitcher was Jer ry Ahrens of St. Louis, first of three West pitchers who each hurled three innings and yielded a total of six hits. Starter Dick Vander Clute of Valley Stream, N. Y., was the loser, although he left the game long before the West's five run spree in the sixth inning which turned the game into a rout Cobb and Wagner grinned and bore it as their pitching charges issued a total of 23 bases on balls which helped the contest straggle three hours and nine minutes.

Rubes Meet Second Division Teams EUGENE SOFTBALL LEAGUE Acorns, Solons' Win Coast Games n OAKLAND, (U.R) Bryan Stephens pitched and batted Oak land to a 3-2 victory over San Diego here Saturday in a Pacific Coast League game that saw the Oaks come from behind to win. Stephens' single in the ninth with two out scored Arky Biggs with the winning run and cli maxed a two-run acorn rally, capping their uphill battle. The Sacramento Solons con tinued their climb in the Pacific Coast baseball race defeating Los Angeles 4-3 before 3676 Wrigley Field fans.

Like Dickey, Robinson Is proving to be great money player, coming up with the hits when It counts. Robby batted In all of New York's runs Friday night in the 4-3 loss to Boston, getting a home run and double. First at Yankee Stadium For most of Saturday's three hour game it looked like Williams would be the star. He hadn't had a hit yet this year in Yankee Stadium until his single in his first at-bat. That set him off, and with the score tied at 1-1 in the sev enth inning, Ted bid for the ball game. With two out, John Pesky hit safely and Dom Dimagglo walked. Williams then hit the first pitch from Ernie Bonham into the fifth row of the upper right field bleachers. But Tex Hughson couldn't hold his 4-1 lead. Robinson homered in the bot tom of the seventh, and hits by John Llndell, Phil Rlzzuto and George Stlrnweiss tied the score. In the top ot the 12th Williams homered as the first man up. But the Yanks roared back against Clem Dreisewerd, and with two men -on base, Robby teed off for his big blow. Boston still leads by 13 games, and not even the hitting of Rob inson appears likely to haul the Yanks Into contention. Pleasant for Dodgers The National League-leading Brooklyn Dodgers enjoyed their usual pleasant afternoon with the Phillies, who are beginning to look as futile as ever. The score was 6-0, a three-hit shutout by Frank Melton and the 12th straight vie tory for Brooklyn over the Phils. The last two have been shutouts. An error by the Cubs' Don Johnson helped the Pittsburgh Pirates take a 3-2 victory over Chicago. Johnson let a ground ball go. through, his legs tn the fifth inning and it resulted in run. The Cubs got 11 hits off Nick Strincevlch, while the Pirates got six oft John Schmitz and Emtl Kush. Rain washed out the Giant Brave game at Boston In the third Inning, with no score. The Car dinals and Reds were idle, as were the Tigers and White Sox in the American League. Wahlngton defeated the Phila delphia A's in the first game of a doubleheader, 4-1, every Sena tor but Jake Early shared In the 10-hlt attack. The A's came back to win the nightcap, 8-3. Fireball Bob Feller, working three Innings in relief as the Cleveland Indians beat the St. Louis Browns 8-3, whiffed four Brownies to run his season's strikeout total to 235, but was outdone by Brown reliefer Ellis Kinder who fanned four Indians in two frames. ' Knickerbocker Team Leads Cottage Grove Softball League Race Baseball Trio Leads Nevada Open RENO, Nev. 0J.R) The touring golf stars caught up with old man par here Saturday, and when night fell on the sunbaked Washoe Country Club course, three men were tied for leadership in the $5000 Nevada State Open golf tournament each with 140 score. Bob Hamilton, Evanston, 111., the first day leader, had to share the top spot with John Lewis, Philadelphia, and Jimmy Clark, Long Beach, Cal. Lewis took the course apart with a flve-under-par 67, the best round of the tournament. He had a 73 Friday. Hamilton add ed a 72 to his opening 68, and Clark posted a 71 to go with his first day 69. Trailing closely on the heels of the three leaders was John Foge, Reno, with a 70-71141; Al Han eke, La Grande, Ore., 73-69, and Al Zimmerman, Portland, 72-73. Pre-tournament favorite E, J. "Dutch" Harrison, Little Rock, Ark., continued to find the roll ing course a bit rugged, but he posted' a one-under-par 71 to add to his opening 72 for a 143 gross well within striking idlstance of the top trio. Howard Welch, Rich mond, Cal., and Art Bell, San Francisco, also had 143s. Tal Smith, Alameda. Cal., the California State Open champion, led the amateurs with a 70-74 144, the same score as that posted by Al Schoux, San Francisco, who had 73-71.

LaslRitesYeld For Tony Lazzeri SAN FRANCISCO (U.R) Sim ple Episcopalian rites were con-' ducted here Saturday for Anthony Michael "Tony" Lazzeri, one-time baseball great of the New York Yankees, who died last Wednesday ot a heart attack, , : . More than 300 persons attended the services, conducted by Rev. John Colling. Only members of the family later attendsrl private burial- services at the Sunset Mauso leum in Berkeley. Among pallbearers were four men "Poosh 'em up Tony" played with or against during his baseball days when he was the infield sparkplug for two fabulous New York American League teams over a 12-year period. They were Os car Vltt, Willie Kamm, Gus Suhr and Taylor Douthlt. Curley Grieve, sports editor of the San Francisco Examiner, representing the press, and Hector Faccillio, boyhood chum, were the other pallbearers. Lazzeri, 4", was found dead In his home when his wife, Mrs. Mayo Lazzeri, cut short her vaca tion to return and locate her hus band who had been reported miss ing by friends. , Hogan Takes Canada PGA WINNIPEG, Man. fuMO Ben Hogan came through with a blis tering four-under-par 68 Satur day to edge out Dick Mflta of Arkansas City, Ark., by one stroke and win the Canadian P.G.A. Open golf tournament. Hogan racked up a tournament total ot 281. Metz bogied the last hole and wound up with a 282. Tied for third place with 283's were Ellsworth Vines of Chicago and Sam Snead, Hot Springs, Va. Hogan and Metz were neck and neck coming up to the 18th tee and it was on the approach that the "mighty mite" from Hershey, Pa., won out. Metz' sec ond shot rolled into a gully, while Hogan s was dead to the pin on the green. It was the second Canadian tornament Metz has lost by one stroke this year. In the Canadian Open he tied George Fazio for the lend after 72 holes but lost In the playoff. Henry Ransom, Houston, Tex., recent St. Paul Open winner, took fifth place with a 287. Fred Haas, Jr., New Orleans, had 288; Jim Ferrier, Chicago, 289; Clayton Haefner, Charlotte, N. C, and Fred Wood, Vancouver, 290's.

Cardinal-Red Game Top Linn-Lane Tiff The Junction City Reds will an tertain the Springfield Cardinals Sunday afternoon at Junction City in the top Linn-Lane League base ball game of the day. The Reds are leading the league by a full game over the second place Cardinals and will be trying to make it tw6 full games with victory over the Cards. A Spring field win would throw the league into a tie and necessitate a playoff since both teams would be favored to win the remainder of their games. ' The Reds, without the servicaa of Lloyd Farthing who signed a Cascade League contract with the Miller Lumbermen, will probably send Bunny Barker to th mound while Springfield will call on Walt Pearson.
