Angels. Manager Bill Sweeney is
anything but happy about his 1945

Sacramento, winner of four out
of five from the Angels last week,
hopes to continue its winning
ways against the hap-hazard San
Francisco Seals. Manager Lefty

hitting, despite superior pitching
performances.
Mountain Lake
Under Ice Sheet
Back from a ski trip Into the
high Cascades, Milton O'Brien,
superintendent of the Diamond
lake trout hatchery, reported
Monday that the depth of the
snow in the Diamond lake area
is the greatest In at least a dec
ade, with an eight-foot pack cov
ering the summit country.
Diamond lake, location of one
of the state's largest rainbow egg
taking stations, is under thick Ice
and deep snow, O'Brien reported.
On March 25 he took a three-man
crew, Helmar Gustafson, Carl
Hiatt and Tom O'Brien, Into the
high station, and the men are now
putting the plant In shape for the
start of the roe-taking season.
This depend on the time when the
Ice sheet breaks.
Good 'Take Expected
O'Brien predicted that this
year's "take" of rainbow eggs wlil
be one of the heaviest In many
seasons, and will be limited only
by the manpower available.
In reaching the mountain lake,
O'Brien skied, over 20 miles of
snow. Slghway signs at the Crater
lake -Diamond lake -Union creek
road junction, just south of the
JaKe, are ourica unner aeop snow,
the plant superintendent reported.
Three feet of snow fell at Dia
mond lake early this month, and
more than four feet fell in March.

By Leo II. Pelersen
(United Press SporU KdiWr)
New York, April 17 ilPu-The
war is producing a new group of
golfers. i
Thanks to the Professional
Golfer's association, working in
conjunction with the special serv
ices division of the army, thou
sands of boys and men who never
played the game before are being
taught it now as part of their re
habilitation.
They are convalescing service
men some without an arm or
leg who are going In for golf In
such a big way that the PGA is
finding it difficult to fill the de
mand for putting greens and
courses near hospitals where
those those who have returned
from the war are learning to
overcome their physical and men
ial nanuicaps.
When they swell the ranks of
the normal peacetime golf popu
lation, the number of participants
in the sport Is expected to soar far
beyond the former peak of 15,
000,000. The PGA rehabilitation pro
gram not only Is making more
golfers It is taking the minds of
these servicemen off the war.
"Service men In the convales
cent stage must have something
on which to expend their energy,"
Maynard (Scotty) Fessenden of
Chicago, chairman of the PGA
sponsor's committee, explained.
"They can't recover from physl
val or mental torture of war just
sitting In a hospital chair playing
checkers. They have to have a
play outlet and they have found
in hospitals throughout the coun
try that golf is the headllner be
cause a kid with only one arm, or
one leg, can play it. They heed
this competitive sport to revive
their interest In competitive civil
ian life."
The PGA started the program
at the Valley Forge, Pa., hospital.
Golf became so popular there that
it spread to service hospitals all
over the land. Under the direction
of Leo Diegel of Philadelphia, for
mer PGA and open champion, the
golfing group set up a section in
every state to build putting
greens and courses as near as
possible to hospital grounds. Un
der the system, the money raised
In any one state is useel only in
that state.
Because it took on so fast, a
crying need has arisen for golf
Instructors.
As a result, the PGA will con
tinue the program it followed dur
ing the winter tour when the lead;
ing pros, under the direction of
Craig Wood, the duration open
champion, spent three days a
week visiting hospitals. They gave
driving and pitching demonstra
tions, held golf clinics and with
Fred Corcoran, PGA tournament
manager acting as master of cere
monies, put on quiz programs.
Such golfers as Byron Nelson,
Sammy Sncad, Ed Dudley, Jimmy
Hlnes, Bob Hamilton, Tony Pen
na, Denny Shute, Sam Byrd, John
Revolta, Diegel, Harold McSpnd
en, Olln Dutra and Jimmy Thom
son cooperated.

Big Leagues Open
Wartime Season
New York, April'l7 (IB Most
of the "stars" are gone from
major league baseball's banner,
but It will be hoisted npnetheless
proudly today for the opening of
the fourth straight war-time sea
son. The "stars" are away playing
a greater and grimmer game and
the kids, the 4-F's and the olds
ters left to carry on won't produce
a brand of major league base
hall to compare with happier
peace-time years.
Stars Arc Gone
But It will be baseball just the
same, even with the "stars" on
service flags instead of on the
diamond. Thousands of fans still
will make their annual trek to
the parks for the official start of
the great American pastime.
Never before has baseball been'
at such a low ebb for manpower,
yet ' paradoxically never before
were hopes any higher for a suc
cessful season.
The majors open their season
with the mandate of the late pres
ident Franklin D.. Roosevelt to
carry on. It is not secret that
th executives of the game would
have called It "quits" for the dur
ation without his provisional
"green light."
Closo ltaees Forecast
The renewal today will he the
69th for the national league,
which began operations In 1876
and the 44th for the American
which has been going since 1901.
Close races were forecast for
both circuits. The two St. Louis
clubs, whoso off season manpower
losses were less serious than else
where, are expected to repeat for
the respective championships, but
neither can afford to falter.
Horse Racing Due
For Green Lights
. Washington, April 17, 0P The
newly-risen hopes for an early
resumption of horse racing were
abruptly dashed today when pres
ident. Truman told his first press
conference that he did not Intend
to lift the racing ban.

Washington, April 17 (U?i Na
tionwide resumption of horse rac
ing by May 10 with certain de
finite limitations was In the of
fing today although it was em
phasized that . conditions may
arise to delay reopehings beyond
that tentative date.
The conditional go-ahead was
announced last night by J. Mon
roe Johnson, director of the office Hrmvn 173
of defense transportation, who L i;.., '
i, u.i iu 1 l... .1.... iuiai
date was under consideration al-
through "it is not quite decided."
Order Expected :
The official order to resume
operations must come from Fred
M. Vinson, new head of the office
of war mobilization, the agency
which ordered the closedown on
the tracks last Jan. 3. He is ex
pected to make the announcement
later this week.
Johnson, in revealing hot plans
were being completed for the re
sumption, said that the ODT re
strictions against the use of spec
ial cars of -trains to go to race
tracks would be continued.
To conserve transportation fa
cilities. and to reduce absenteeism
in certain heavily Industrialized
areas were the reasons for the
shutdown imposed by James F.
Byrnes, Vinson's predecessor as
war mobilization director.
V K Day Is Time
Johnson made it clear that
these conditions were not greatly
changed now, but that some modi
fication was to be expected after
the official end of the war in
Europe. Byrnes, in one of his
last acts as war mobillzer, speci
fied that racing could be resumed
immediately after V-E day.
However, the need for race
track operators to make extensive
plans in advance for resumption
of operations, probably promoted
setting of a tentative date, al
though there has been no otticlal
word that an end to European
hostilities can be expected by
May 10.
