The Cascade League, promising
to be even stronger than last year's
fast circuit, will open its 40-game
schedule at Civic Stadium Sun
day, June 8 in two short weeks
with the Miller Lumbermen meet
ing the Giustina Reds' in the in
augural
. Plans for the season have been
completed, and baseball followers
will find not only an increase in
me caliber of play, but park im
provements that will make the
game more enjoyable. The oDen.
mg day. ceremonies will, include
the inevitable band and the "Take
Me out to the Ball Game." , .
The opening will catch some
of the teams, short, the few col
lege, players in the circuit not be
ing eligible' until the third same
of the season Friday night. How
ever, all are expected to field
strong teams in an effort to cap
ture the pennant and the handsome-
Skeie trophy that goes to
this years' winner.
At the final league meeting of
the season, held last week, Al
Lightner was definitely identified
as manager of the . Snellstrom
Braves, with Doc Taylor handling
the business end. - ; .
.,. League officials turned down
proposals by a half dozen travel
ing teams to play here and decided
to bring only the Harlem Globe
trotters, House of David and pos
sibly the Salem Senators and
Portland Beavers here for exhibi
tion games during the season. The
exhibitions will be benefits for
the league's building fund for a
new park in the Amazon area
within a few years,
Most prominent amoneithe new
players in the circuit this season
is Byron Speece, veteran Portland
Beaver pitcher, who will be with
the Giustina Reds. The Miller
Lumbermen have added Johnny
Bubalo, former Oregon great, and
Bill Schubel, ex-Yankee chain
pitcher. The Snellstrom Braves
will have catcher Woody Salmon,
Pitcher Lee Fallin,.Infielders Don
Kirsch, Vern Reynolds and Wally
Flager, all well-known names in
organized and semi-pro baseball.
Hills ; Creek will have.- Howard
Parks" back' in the outfield for the
first time-since the war, but the
Billies have signed .only one new-
cpmer,' Jim Kays, highly-touted
pitcher - f irstbaseman from the

: Trigger Joe Gordon wasn't kiddin' last winter when he reported
unrest in the New York Yankee club with Leland Stanford "Larry"
MacPhail as commander-in-chief. This was definitely shown last
week when members of the club, headed by such oldtime stars as
Joe DiMaggio und Charley Kelley, started a revolt against Showman
MacPhail and his promotional stunts and his attempt to force the
Yankees to travel by air. . ,
Conditions last year never came out in the open like they have
this season, and the three straight wins by the Cleveland Indians
over the Yanks, in which Gordon played an important role, probably
had something to do With the new threat to "break up the Yankees."
Last .winter Joe told a flrouD of Seattle. Portland- and Eueene
sportswriters,- attending an after-the-ball-game deal at the home of
Claire Kneeland, just what happened last season.
"The best thing .MacPhail ever did for me was trade me," Gordon
said, . -v
. Gordon revealed he, MacPhail and Bill Dickev. who was one of
the four Yank managers last year, engaged in a story session last
season in which the vanxee president accused Joe of laying down
and warned himrhe was -through with the club.
"I walked out of the meeting twice." Joe said "onlv to have
Dickey call me back. .
-"MacPhail said I was out of the lineup for good, but Dickey told
Larry he was running the team and as soon as my leg healed I would
be back or Larry .could get himself another manager. -
"I'm completely pleased it turned out the way it did."- Gordon
continued. ; .- -Joe
is having a good year and It wouldn't be too much to hope
that he will play In his sixth World Series come next October.
Charley Mfckelson, promising outfielder, win be lost to the chm
plon Hills Creek Billies of the Cascade League this season because
of a knee Injury suffered In the Oregon-Idaho tamo at Moscow a
couple of weeks ago. He is now hospitalized after the removal of
the cartilage from his knee. ... :". .
Howard Fox, the Cincinnati "rookie" righthander, missed -his
regular pitching turn with the Syracuse Chiefs recently, becauscof a
sore throp.t and severe cold. . . . Fox, the ex-Thurston High, athlete,
is still suffering from a sore arm caused by the broken arm he sus
tained in last, year s International League ShaUKhnessy. nlayojf, .
A previous engagement will prevent Governor-Earl. Snoll from
pitching the first ball in the Cascade League opener Sunday, June
8. . . . League officials are planning a gala .opening despite the set
back..
When Jerry Coleman, rookie third-baseman, was. beamed. Ford
Mullen gained a regular berth with the Kansas City Bines. He had
one bad day In the field with two errors, but batted In five runs In
four games. . . . Dick Whitman, playing a regular leftfield position
for the Montreal Royals, Is beginning to hit the apple, although dur
ing the past week he was charged with his first, error In two sea
sons. . . . Those Montreal pitchers are giving 'jick a wornout. in ve
games he had 23 pu touts and two assists. The records of the two
players to date follow:
