Big League Nines
Open 1945 Season
With Poor Talent
By Cart LundquiHt ,
(United Prew Staff Correspondent)
N6w York, April 16 UPi-MaJor
league basceball-wartime variety
pusnes to tne lorelront oi the
American sporting scene again to
day. Its popularity as great as
ever even with quality of player
talent at an all time low ebb.
During the off-season the
leagues weathered a great man
power crisis only after their
staunch friend in the White
House, President Roosevelt, gave
them a provisional green light to
carry on in 1945, even if it was
necessary for the standard of play
to arop to the sand lot level.
Now that provision green light
has become a mandate and noth
ing short of a national emergency
. could prevent basceball from com
pleting me course in iat3, even
though for many teams the go
ing will be rocky from start to
linish.
Brothers! Mnv Quit
The world champion St. Louis
Cardinals, seeking their fourth
straight pennant are definite
standouts in the National, even
though internal troubles and low
ered morale may reduce their effi
ciency. The obvious bitterness of
their brother battery of pitcher
Morton cooper and catcher waw
er Cooper is threatening to quit
because of salary dissatisfaction
could mean that the Cardinals
might beat themselves when no
other team in the league was cap
able of doing it.
The champion St. Louis Browns
are well fixed for manpower in
the American league and are fa
Jvored to repeat their 1944 success
saga when they amazed everyone
including themselves by winning
Jtheir first pennant. This time,
.however, they definitely are the
;boys to beat.
If the Cards falter, the Chicago
'Cubs, who fared well in acquiring
talent from their farm clubs and
the Pittsburgh Pirates, outstand
ing stretch runners of 1944, are
in best position to move in as title
contenders.
Detroit Favored
Detroit is conceded the best
chance of ousting the Browns, and
the New York Yankees are the
"if" club of the American. Loss of
five players now In 1-A or unde
cided about reporting could make
the Yankees a second division
team, but if all were available
from start to finish they might
well win the pennant.
The Yanks and Senators get
underway at Washington today.
Tomprrow all clubs will be in ac
tion with Detroit at St Louis,
Chicago at Cleveland, Washington
at Philadelphia and Boston at
New York In the American and
St. Louis at Chicago, Pittsburgh
at Cincinnati, New York at Boston
and Philadelphia at Brooklyn In
the National.

tis' sweeping dominance of fem
inine swimming was brilliantly
etched on the Sullivan memorial
trophy and in the record brooks
of the Amateur Athletic union to
day. N
During the three-day National
A. A. U. indoor championships,
which wet re concluded yesterday
at the Town club, the San Fran
cisco speedster won all three free
stylo events at 100, 200 and 440
yards. In addition, she anchored
the victorious 300-yard medley
and 400-yard free style relay
teams from San Francisco's Crys
tal plunge.
Her all-victorious performance
was partly shaded by the bril
liance of a 19-year-old Northwest

son. Miss Wilson, representing
Chicago's Lake Shore club, set a
new American and meet record of
1:15.1 in the 100-yard breast

Coasting Along in
By Hal Wood
(United Prau Staff Correspondent)
San Francisco, April 16 U')
Lawrence T. (Buck) Shaw, the
glamor man of west coast coach
ing ranks, steps into one of the
toughest roles In his career when
he joins University of California
as head grid mentor on May 1.
Appointed Saturday to sucecd
the deposed Stub Allison, Shaw's
choice met with Instant, and
nearly unanimous, approval from
everyone who had anything to
say lor or about Bear Gridiron
aggregations.
With a present-day enrollment
at California of 7,000, of which
about 2,500 are men, Shaw will
probably have a much larger
choice of grid talent than he ever
had before.
In coaching berths at the Uni
versity of Nevada, North Carolina
State, and Santa Clara, where he
compiled astounding records, the
gray-thalched mentor was handi
capped by small enrollments. " At
Santo Clara the total never was
greater than 600.
However, the grass may not
turn out to be quite as green as
it would appear on the surface.
In the first place, the; Cal boos
ters aren't expecting merely a
winner. Right away there is talk
of "championship," "Rose Bowls,"
"wonder team," etc.
Although the salary wasn't an
nounced, it is expected Buck will
draw around $12,500 per season
compared with the estimated $10,
000 he received at Santa Clara
speed of the Northwestern Miss,
however, Miss Curtis was the
show's undisputed queen.
At a banquet after the meet
last night, she was presented the
Slllvan trophy, awarded annual
ly by the A. A. U. to the nation's
No. 1 amateur athlete. As the
1944 recipient, Miss Curtis be
came the only woman in history
to have her name etched on the
trophy. She also Is one of the few
women in A. A. U. annals to win
three individual championships
and participate on two victorious
teams during one meet.

before the school abandoned the
game for the duration at the close
of the 1942 season.
For this big league play, the
former Notre Dame star is ex
pected to mold champions from
what may be questionable talent,
while instilling a complete new
system of play the first season.
The only standout returning from
the team which won three, lost
six and tied one last year, is Roger
Harding, the all-coast center.
Shaw takes the Bear post
strictly on a temporary basis
he termed it "lend-lease" from
Tony Morablto, who owns the San
Francisco franchise in the embryo
all-Amcrlcan conference. When
play starts in that professional
grid loop, probably in 1946, Shaw
is expected to leave the Californ
ia job.
Claiming to be no miracle man,
Shaw dirt very' well at Santa
Clara. In his seven years there
he won 47, lost 10 and tied four
for an average of .825 the high
est in the nation over the same
span. The opposition was furn
ished by the toughest competition
in the country from coast to
coast. The record Included two
victories In the Sugar bowl over
Louisiana State, and a 16-game
winning streak in 1937-38.
Shaw-teams met University of
California twice, winning 13-0 in
1941 and 7-6 In 1942. Ho also has
won five out of seven starts
against Stanford a record that
ho would have to equal or surpass
to be termed a "success" if he

after losing the opener, 1-5.
About 7,000 passed through the
turnstiles at Sacramento, 10,000
at Hollywood, to bring the day's
attendanse around the 45,000
mark.
The record-breaking crowd at
San Francisco saw Boy Joyce,

Rainiers in 16 innings scored 24
runs, got 31 hits. Ted Norbert
got one homer in the first tilt
with none on and two more round
trippers in the second to drive in
