PAGE TWO Stars of Baseball With Mighty Bats -Scarce This Year By Waltw Byers (United Preu But! Corropoodcnt) ' Chicago. April 3 ill Major league pitchers believe that 1945 is going to be their big year, the year that they make pitching a safe profession again. Most oi the boys with the boom ing bats, who made a practice of driving pitchers to cover during recent years, are now in the serv ice. That's why huriers believe they are going to dominate base ball this season and make 19-15 a pitcher s year. The Chtcaeo Cubs' Paul Der ringer, veteran National league pitching star, said, "The hitters who bothered me and other pitch ers last year are gone. There was Stan Musial, Walker Cooper and Danny Litwhller of the Cardinals and Ron Northey of the Phillies. They're In the service now which is going to make wings a 101 easier." Big Hitters Gone A check of the American and National league rosters showed that major league baseball has lost practically all of the blasting hitters who made pitchers throw and duck during prewar days. Bill Volselle, New York Giant pitcher, recently remarked that the only dangerous hit tors left in his league are Dixie Walker of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Bill Nichol son of the Cubs, who may not play this season. In contract, however, a sur prising number of tried and proved huriers are still doing busi ness at the same old stand, In the National league, the world champion Cardinals still have Mort Cooper, Max Lanier, Harry Brecheon and Blix Don nelley. The Pittsburgh Pirates have Rip Sewell, the blooper ball artist. Max Butcher and Fritz Ostcrmueller, while Bucky Wal ters and Elmer Riddle are still working for the Cincinnati Reds and Jim Tobin, Charlie Barrett, Nat Andrews and Al Javery are still operating for the Boston Braves. The New York Giants still have Harry Fcldman and Volselle. Some Stars Left Still working in the American league are Johnny Niggeling of Washington, Hal Newhouspr and Dizzy Trout, the Detroit Tigers' brilliant duo: Jim Bagby and Al He Reynolds of Cleveland, Mike Ryba and Joe Bowman of the Bos ton Red Sox, and Nelson Potter and Jack, Kramer of the champion sr. uouis urowns. "The major leagues' hitting Is jar under normal, Derringer said "There will be two or three well- pitched games in every series. Pitchers have a better chance to reach good form while training In the north and that will have a de cided effect during the early weeks of the campaign." Fight Results (By United Pram) New .

A call for assistance was voiced today by Coach Claude Cook of the Bend Lava Bears. War conditions make It prac tically impossible to ohtaln new track shoes. Cook feels that there arc probably several pairs of shoes hidden away in Bend that could be used by his boys. Persoi.s having track shoes are asked to notify Cook at the high school. Several hoys are anxious to purchase shoes.

II. Petersen -United Prou SporU Editor) New York, April 3 (Hi Local draft boards are making It more evident every day that they are not in accord with the war man power commission , ruling that baseball players may leave essen tial war jobs to go back to their basic occupation. They have been taking the oc cupational deferment status away from players and classifying them 1-A, subject to immediate physi cal examinations and induction, soon after they leave war plants or farms. y The situation has baseball men worried to such an extent that a test case probably will be made of a rookie pitcher of the Brook lyn Dodgers who left his position as a physical .instructor for a chance to make the major league grade. By submitting the case to the WMC for a formal ruling, base bull hopes to clarify the status of prayers who left essential jobs following the ruling and to guide those few who still are in warl plants or on farms. The "guinea pig" will be Cyril Buker, a right hunder who won 11 games while losing only three with St. Paul in 1914 to lead the American association in pitching percentage. Prior to the ruling from Paul McNutt, the war man power commissioner, three weeks ago, Buker was a physical direct or at Eau Clnlre, Wis., high school. He then obtained his release from the school post and reported to the Dodgers a lew days ago. Yesterday he was notified by his Sturgon Bay, Wis., draft board that ho hud been reclassified from 4-F to 1-A as a Job Jumper. The Dodgers, working on the theory that the reclassification was In direct variance to the Mc Nutt ruling, decided to take the mutter to Washington. Their con tention Is that Buker Is entitled to' a review and they hope a test will result. Just before Bilker's status was .changed, President Brunch Rickey of the Dodgers received wurd that Al Zachary, another rookie pitch ier, had been ordered to report for ! a physical today. Zachury has a war Job at Karmlngdale, N. Y., but because of the WMC ruling i hud announced his intention of rc i turning to baseball. I And a few hours before that 'word cume out of Cape Girard eau, Mo., that Mike hreevlrh, cen ter fielder and leading hitler of the SI. Louis Browns lust year when they won their first Ameri can league pennant, had been notified to appear before his Springfield, 111., draft board, lie was employed In a war plant dur ing the winter and after he was released to join the Browns his board removed him from his oc ciipnllonul deferment status and put him In 1-A. When the WMC ruling was an nounced, bcschull men welcomed it us assurance that the major leagues would lie able to survive: a fourth war-time season. But If Shevlhi Quality PONDEROSA PINE to Lumber and THE BORN THIRTY YEARS TOO SOON the ruling is not binding on local draft boards, it will leave club owners where they were wonder ing if there would be enough 4-Fs and players over the draft age to carry on. Buker may not be too Important in Brooklyn's 1945 plans, but the outcome of his case will mean a lot to the approximately 30 play ers who stuck to essential jobs until the WMC ruling was an nounced. Included In the group are some of the outstanding stars left in the game such as Bucky Walters, Hank Borowy and Nick Etten. Changes Are Due In Football Rules New York, April 3 X College football legislators, "defrosting" the rules in an effort to keep pace with the increasingly popu lar pro game, assured spectators today that they have made the sport easier to watch and wider open offensively. , The National Collegiate Ath letic association authorized live changes by the rules committee yesterday, including a drastic penalty for the use of the out-of-bounds kickoff and legalization of forward passing anywhere be hind the line of scrimmage. Tho action of the committee was surprising, since in their last previous meeting in January of 1942, the rules wero "frozen for the duration, and there was some doubt whether any changes would bo mudc in the meeting yester day. Example Followed Tho N.C.A.A., which embraces all of the nation's major colleges, tollowed the example set by the usually conservative eastern branch of the association, which pioneered in the rules changes with a set of drastic revisions last season. The out-of-bounds penalty does not affect the first kickoff, hut the kicking team must repeat the play. If the second kickolf is out of bounds, the receiving team shall put" the ball in play at the point from which It was kicked, the kicking team's 40-yard line. The rules makers also provided lor use of an elevated one-inch tee for the kickoff to provide accuracy. Pass Liberalized The liberalization of the for ward pass play eliminates the previous restriction making pass ers operate five yards or more behind the line of scrimmage. The minor changes provide that substitutes may report to any of ficial, the center in passing the bull may have no purl of his body ahead of it and his feet must be behind It, and if a player uses his hands or arms In blocking, he must have his hands in contact with his own body.

Portland 9, Oakland 3. Seattle 12, San Diego 1. Sacramento 9, Hollywood 1. Some Pacific coast league man agers were seriously thinking to day of taking out accident insur ance on their pitchers. This sad state of affairs has been brought about by prodigious stickwork on the part of several clubs during the three - day old season. If it keeps up, the poor moundsmen aren't going to be able to duck all the line drives that have been screeching out to the fences. For example, the Los Angeles Angels shellacked the San Fran cisco Seals, 16 to 3, yesterday aft er the two clubs had participated in several games that resembled the national pastime. The Seals led, 3-2, until the last of the sixth when the Angels made less than 2,000 customers dizzy by tallying 11 times. The main victim of the uprising was Frank Seward, a righthander acquired from the New York Gi ants. Seward pitched to nine men in the awful frame without retir ing anyone. Then he retired. The big blow of the inning was Lou Novikoff's three-run homer over the rightfield fence. In all the Angels got 18 hits. Joe Slotter was the winning pitcher. Portland massacred Oakland again, while Seattle trampled on San Diego, 12-1, and Sacramento whipped Hollywood, 91. Ancient Sam Gibson made his first start for Oakland and depart ed for the showers after the fifth inning with the count 7-2 against him. Jack Tising scattered eight Oak hits. Larry Barton and man ager Freck Owen paced the Beav er offensive with three blows apiece. Rookie Is Star Rookie Alec Palicka limited San Diego to three hits as Seattle took its third win in four games. Mana-I gcr Pepper Martin of the Padres desperately called on five pitchers but they were all cousins to the R a I n I e r s. George McDonald slammed out three doubles and a single to lead Seattle's 15-hit at tack. Sacramento clinched its victory over Hollywood by jumping on BUI Embree and John Grajovek for five runs in the seventh.
