Pirates Still First The split left the Pirates still in first place with five victories in six starts. Another previously unbeaten nine, the American League cham pion Boston Red Sox, bit the dust for the first time when the Wash ington Senators, behind Walter Masterson's superb three-hit sling ing, downed them 3-1 in the capi tal. The Nats got to Mel Parnell, making hla big league debut, for three of their seven hits in the first inning to score all their runs. With Joa DiMagglo playing his first full game of the season, the New York Yankees turned on the Athletics twice to sweep a double header In Philadelphia 8-2 and 3-2.

HIGHLIGHTS By DEWEY BAT Enrage Kerfster-OnarJ. Eugene, Ore., Wonday, April 21, 194T. Pare I . Bridges Hurls No-Hit, No-Run Win Over Seals Beavers Still Tied for Lead Spectators at the Hayward Relava Salnriliv n th. .i-,!.'. greatest high school athletes In action in Ashland's George Fullerton what a beautiful miler that hnv la. TTnnftiH.i wtt.. anchor mile In the three-mile relay event at 4:33.4. That's quite a few seconds from his own state hleh rhnni j nt a u .nrf th k.20.5 he did in Portland last year after the state meet. But his coach, p'rank O'Neil, Is bringing him along scientifically and his performance amuraay waa Deiier man ne was doing at this stage of the game last year. Right now OTIeil and Fullerton wort for a i-sn mil Thv h precise times set for each of George's four quarter-mile laps. Satur day at the relays, Fullerton was two seconds over the time prescribed for the recond lap and one second over for the third. The first and fourth laps were right on the nose. Fullerton has terrific kick coming into me nome sireicn, as was demonstrated Saturday. He still had plenty of strength left more than usual, according to O'Neil. because of the slow times for the two middle laps. By the time of the state meet May 18 and 17 at Corvallis, Fuller ton wil probably be shooting for a 4:20 mark. If he could do that it would not only be a new record but a new national Interscholastic standard as well. Cottage Grove's victory In the Class B division was a (ratifying one for the Grovers. Bob Dusenberry has been doing an outstanding job of coaching and has been carrying most of the load at Cottage Grove single-handed. Only recently has been getting welcome and capable assistance from Joe Tomen. Those Lions would really be track whizzes if they had a good cinder track to train on. It might not have been a Cottage Grove story Saturday, however, if Ashland hadn't bobbled the baton on the first pass In the 440-relay event. Iff one ot those things you ctf! never tell about Cottage Grove might have had enough to have beaten out Ashland in the event anyway because the Grovers winning time clipped a good chunk off the old record. But until the baton was dropped, Ashland was out in front. Dusenberry. whose squad has been weak in the sprints, frankly didn't expect to pick up 10 points in that event. But then, he didn't get the points he expected In the shot put relays so perhaps it came out even In the end. One thing that may result from the gathering of coaches here for the relays It a big dual competition between the Portland track dls trict and the strong Southern Oregon district, something on the order of the dual meet between the Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Nine. We heard Grant High's Joe Huston, Medford's Bill Bowerman and Klamath Falls' Bob Hendershott talking of such an event. It might not materialize this year, but if it does, it would probably be the week following the Portland city meet. Such an event would be an Innovation in the track sport in Oregon Something similar might be worked out someday between the Big-Six League and the Trl County League. It's an idea anyway. Then there are those who eay that too much interest in high school track is killing high school base ball. And then there are those who say that too much high school baseball is killing track. So what have you got7 One war to look at it is to noint out that schools that have a strong track program are usually the same ones that have strong football teams. This may not hold true in tne larger scnoois, sucn as in Portlpnd. It is certainly true, however, In the case of Grant High of Portland and of Medford. Desnlte the trone showinar made by Eugene High In the Hayward Belays, we're picking Bend to win the Big-Six League track meet scheduled for May 2 at Bend. The Lava Bean won the meet last vear when It was held in Salem and this year will have one big ad' vantage altitude. The thin air at Bend will slow up the lowlanders from the Willamette Valley considerably. ... We don't know what the deal was at Grants Pass, but we know that everywhere else that Mel Johnson has coached he has molded outstanding football teams. The dope la that Mel Ingram will take over football at Grants Pass and we hope he doesn't have the same tough luck Johnson had. cam fcarV S.f,..- El.M"1J,w?n over Washing- P t0 divMe It.

Rosebura Wins Fourth ROSEBURG, April 21 W Roseburg High School won its fourth straight baseball game of the season from Grant Pus, 9-7, her Saturday. The visitors made all their runs in the first inning. By BILL BECKER Associated Press Sportswriter Tommy Bridges the former great Detroit curveball artist now operating for the Portland Beav ers, is the first no-run, no-hit game pitcher of 1947. Achieving the first no-hitter Of his 19-year career, the slender Tennessean, now 40, came within one batter of a perfect game Sun day as he set down the San Fran cisco Seals, 2-0, In the first half of a Pacific Coast League double- header. The only Seal to reach base was Bones Sanders, who walked in the' eighth but was quickly erased On a double play. Bridges fanned five in hanging up his second win against no de feats It was his third start as the Beavers' Sunday pitcher. He has tied one. In his other win, inci dentally, the ex-Tiger allowed only two hits. Only four Bridges' pitches were hit out of the infield Sunday. In his long American League career, Bridges pitched three one hit games, once in 1932 going through 8 23 innings before giv ing up a safety. Six Straight The veteran s sterling perform ance gave the Beavers their sixth straight win over San Francisco and assured the Oregonians of a hold on first place, which they share with San Diego, as the PCL went into its fourth week. The Seals bounced back to take the final game, 11-4, on some hefty hitting and the effective pitching ot Rookie Bob Chesnes. San Diego pulled abreast of Portland by nabbing a pair from Hollywood, 7-5 and 3-1, after drop ping Saturday s game. Homers by Max West and Pete Coscarart clinched the first contest, while Manny Salvo's five-hit twirling assured the afterpiece. Todd Davis' circuit drive accounted for the only run off Salvo. Los Angeles moved into third place ahead of Sacramento as the Angels swept three weekend games from Seattle while the Solons took three whippings from Oakland. Angels Batter Seattle Young Don Carlstn, 20-year-old converted Infielder, won a 15-hv nlng thriller from Kewpie Dick Barrett Saturday, and the Angels followed with 2-0 and 6-2 wins Sunday. Southpaw Cliff Chambers of Belllngham hurled the shutout and stretched to 28 his skein of Innings pitched without allowing an earned run. Oakland, putting cr i's first winning spurt, climbed to a sev enth place tie with Seattle. Seven runs batted in by Maurice Van Robays, ex-Pittsburgh 'Pirate, paced the Oaks to their 8-5, 10-1 victories over Sacramento. Brooks Holder's two homers helped nail the opener Charley Gassaway's four-hit pitching featured the nightcap. The Sunday turnout was the league's biggest of the season, to taling 52,287.

The Tiders lost a practice tilt last week to Cor vallis. 4 4 Husky, Idaho Track Squads Show Power (Associated Press) Coach Hec Edmundson's cinder squad stamped itself as a definite contender for Northern Division track laurels Saturday as the Washington Huskies swept first places in 12 of IS events to out score the Oregon State College de fending champions 89 to 4H4. It was the only division meet of the day, but the University of Ida ho gave indications of a strong team in a non-conference trounc ing of Gonzaga 110-18. Washington State College, run' ning its own time trials, turned in a 3.24:5 mile relay time which was nearly three seconds faster than the Cougar relay squad had in winning the 1948 division crown. The Husky-Beaver meet turned In no new records but double win ners were all around.

White of Lebanon wai the leading individual performer among the men with a 214 single Piluso Scores Mat Win Over Weidner Salem Unbeaten In WIL Play (Associated Press) The ability to win the close ones had the Salem Senators atop the Western International League: The second came in eight minutes standings Monday as the league's i wnen Referee Jack: Mitchell ruled two Canadian members played host to their opening games with Tacoma and Bremerton preparing inaugural ceremonies tor Tuesday. Undefeated thus far out, the Oregon nine posted three one-run verdicts over the weekend. Salem won the Sunday twin-bill 3-2 and 2-1 after taking Saturday's tilt from Vancouver by a 5-4 count. The same two clubs move to the Canadian city to open a three game bill Monday. Co-holding the runnerup spot after the first series are Victoria and Bremerton.

He re cently drove out three homers in a single exhibition tilt Tacoma ear lier had taken the opening game of the bill 7-3 on Morgan's five- hit pitching. By MAE BALDWIN Ernie Piluso shrewdly out-maneuvered Bill Weidner Saturday night, gaining two straight falls. that Weidner had deliberately tossed Ernie onto the ringside floor following an airplane spin. The match was the main event at the armory. When Piluso's strategy to nuz zle, amuse and annoy began to un fold, there seemed to be no end to the confusion Weidner faced. Rarely did Bill's strength advan tage prove beneficial and he tried desperately to curb his unpre dictable temper. Ernie smoothly evaded the full Nelson and air plane spin to keep the pace whirl ing in his lavor. In 16 minutes Piluso left Weidner limp on the mat, a victim of a powerful head lock clutch. 1 Piluso continued his matter-of- fact manner until the sudden outward-bound journey. In an action-packed semi-final Herb Parks took a one-fall deci sion over Pedro Cortez. The young Brazilian relied on his nimble speed to control the efforts against nun. lae detense worked well and Parks was in plenty of trouble when Pedro began matching his opponents talents. Herb worked feverishly to gain his goal in 23 minutes with a knee stomper. rne Armory arena fans were sorry to learn that Buck Weaver was still unable to return to mat action due to a back Injury.

This usually meant letting them get awa with murder ... on the grounds that if you interfere you're going to ' tie them up with complexes. Now a New York expert says all this psychiatric stuff about kids Is mullarkey. He says, "stop Worrying about traumas and syndromics." That should be easy for me. I can't even pronounce them. However, the New York expert apparently feels that we have gone too far . . . like the man who accident ally stepped over the edge of a cliff.
