PAGE TWO White Sox Defeat Srowns, New York; Am-U 21 iui Thev may come down to earth witn a crash, right In their own Comis- key park today, but the way the Chicago White Sox have been playing to date entitles them to a revised . rating in the American league pennant picture. At this time a year ago, the . eventual pennant winners, the St Louis Browns, were passed off Just as lightly as the White Sox are now. . ; The Chicagoans have won only three straight, but that is enough to start the pennant bee buzzing in tne oonnet ot the ever-optimis-tic Jimmy Dykes. Yesterday's 3 to 2 victory in the home opener against the champion Browns came tne hard way with the chips down in the lthh inning. Gets Third Single Outfielder Oris Hockett hit his third single, went to second on Johnny Diekshot s sacrifice bunt and scored on Roy Schalk's aouoie. .a iopat, veteran souin- paw, shaded Al Hollingswortn, Brownie lefty, In a duel in which both were hit frequently, but at scattered intervals. The White Sox, who won only one game In their first seven starts last season, have gotten three creditable pitching jobs from Lopat, Bill Dietrich, and Thornton Lee, another southpaw. And the hitting has been both plentiful and timely. Also atop the American league with four straight victories were the New York Yankees, who beat the Senators at Washington in their home opener, 6 to 3. First baseman Nick Etten drove in three runs with three hits to lead the 11-hit attack. Floyd Bevens, with relief help from Al Gettel, gained the victory. Cleveland Wins Cleveland gained Its first tri umph, topping the Tigers at De troit; 4 to 1, on Steve Qromek's six-hit pitching. Southpaw Frank (Stubby) Overmlre permitted all the Indian runs to score in the first three innings. A two-run homer by Frankle Hayes In the first inning started the Philadelphia A's off to a 5 to 3 victory over the Red Sox at Bos ton, It was the fourth straight loss for the Sox. Don Black scat tered nine hits to gain the win for the A's. Elmer. (Butch) Nlcman hit a three run Homer in the ninth to give the Boston Braves a 6 to-5 victory over the Phils in their home opener at Philadelphia. Re lief pitcher Charley Cozart was the victor, taking over in the seventh. Vince DIMagglo hit a two run homer for Philadelphia. Glantn Take Opener In a battle for homers, the Giants' won their home opener from the Brooklyn Dodgers, 10 to 6, Phil Welntraub getting two and pitcher Harry Feldman one for the winners. Eddie Stanky and Mike Sandlock got their first big league homers for the Dodgers in a losing cause. The Pittsburgh Pirates and Chi cago Cubs,, expected to be pen nant contenders, put on a battle royal at Pittsburgh, the Bucs win ning, 5 to 4, when Al Lopez singl ed in the eighth to score Frankle Guxtine from second. Truett (Rip) Sewell won his 100th major league victory, going the route for Pittsburgh. St. Louis and Cincinnati In the National were not scheduled. Panther Juniors Win Track Meet Redmond junior trackmen won over Bend juniors 6G',i to 55Vi in a meet held in Brum field yester day afternoon. Only hoys who had not reached their Kith birthday by April 1 were eligible. Redmond's showing, it Is agreed, should give Bend sports fans plenty to worry about be cause the visiting squad captured nine of the 14 events and tied for two of the others. The young Panthers boasted a score of husky athletes who made most of the young Bears look like rtiidgels and foretold the possibility of a coming dominance in football and basketball for Redmond. Rodman and Werner were the Redmond stars. Rodman captured the 100 and 220 in good time, tied for first in broad jump and anchored the winning relay team. Werner, a former Bend boy, turned in a double win by cap turing both the 880 and mile runs. Bend's Sheffolcl won the high hurdles and tied with Rodman In the broad jump. Other Bend firsts were Cook's win in the shot put and Delaney's winning javelin throw.. KKNKW GOLF l'Et I) A t:..

April 21 UPiThe field for the successor of the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis as baseball commissioner has nar rowed down to such an extent that it no longer is a Question of whom the club owners want, but whom they can get. The two men who could have had the job have turned it down. James A. Farley eliminated him self in the deliberations of the special four-man committee which the major leagues set up to re commend Landis' successor. The money he Is receiving as an ex ecutive with a soft drink manu facturing concern was too much more than the $50,000 a year the commissionership pays. And Edward Grant Barrow de cided against-the job because of his health and his auvuneed years. He .soon will .he 77. v,-,' ,,So.Jt look's like Ford Frlck, pre'sfflent of the national league, is going to get the job after all. He has been the only campaigner for the post and he would have had the job now had it not been for opposition within his own league. The situation is such that there seems to be dotibt whether the major league club owners will be able to muster the majority ot 12 votes necessary to select Landis' successor when (hey get together In Cleveland next Tuesday. The word from thft pipe line depart ment now is that the commission is going to recommend two men, Frick and Leslie J. O'Connor, who for years served as Landis sec retary. A deadlock may develop since O'Connor is strong in the west, but has no support in the east. If Frick cannot he named as a compromise candidate, the maj amuuiiuiuiniiiiitujiiiuuiiuiuuiuiuuMniiiuutuuuuiiutiiiuiiuuiuA In This Corner lUiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiniiiiiuiiniiiiiiiiiiutiniiiiMttiiitiiiiiiliiHiiit By Mickey Myrlek Bend's dog tleup ordinance an nually stirs up a lot of talk, most of which get no place. The "fors" get out a petition for I he law's repeal, and the "agins" vote it down, and the city commission heaves a sigh of relief when it's all over. Right now It's In the talk agit.i tion petftion stage, and the com mission decries the fact that the ever-warmer argument oilers no constructive grounds to build on. This may serve as a basis for constructive argument. What's Wronir 1. Dog owners and humanitari ans argue that it's unkind and damaging to a dog's health to keep him closely confined or tied for long periods of time. 2. Others argue that loose dogs are a nuisance, that they damage gardens and shrubs, kill water fowl, etc. 3. Many (log owners take good tare of their pels, keep them from being nuisances- while others do iittle more than buy them a li cense und feed them a few table scraps once In a while. 4. Still others are daytime law observers, tying their dogs until dark, then turning them loose for the nli'ht. 5. Under life present law many purely nuisance dogs acquire li censes but receive no particular attention still manage to escape the dog catcher - while other well cared fur anil well-behaved dogs suffer the toostern restrictions of the tle up law. hill To ! About l( 1. l.or.se the dogs, tint make a ve.'ir-around dog control measure sirane enough to lone the dog owner to cue for his pet or sul fer a penalty, or lose him. 2. Hustle any dog ci miuKtlng a nuisance off to the pound, and dispose of habitual offender or lorcc their owners to keep them THE ors may have to go through their fourth wartime season without a commissioner. That the major league execu tives, seasoned business men who have made a million dollar in dustry out of baseball, would let anything stand In the way of re placing the commissioner is in conceivable even though it could happen. Baseball never needed a com missioner more. Within the next year dozens of service men are likely to return to their clubs after military leaves and the resulting confusion may produce many dis putes which only a commissioner could settle. in addition, the constantly in creasing volume of gambling on baseball games, poses another problem. There are young play ers In the game who never would be major leaguers except for the war and there are oldsters who are playing, on "borrowed time."! because the real stars are In the service.' No one intends to im pugn honestly by suggesting that any of them might deal with gamblers to throw a game and cause a scandal as serious as the Black Sox infamy of 1919. But the fans might have their doubts, realizing the temptation that these players might face, and knowing also that without a commissioners the sport lacks actual "high court" enforcement power to deal with such a situation. . , So the magnates better look the field over again and choose a candidate by the process of eli mination, If necessary. Frick has shown himself to be a capable baseball executive, Is young and vigorous and missed getting the post at the February meeting reportedly by Just one vote. They haven't named a better man who would accept the post. tied up. ' 3. Put a license fee on dogs high enough so that those who are not really Interested in dogs will not keep them. Have an annual lie-up month so that all strays and non wanteds can be disposed of. 4. Encourage dog owners to give their dogs daytime exercise and plenty of food, so they will stay home nights. 5. Make it a misdemeanor to allow anv unsp.iyed female dog to run at large when her presence constitutes a nuisance, with a higher license fee and strict pen alties on lax owners, hire a full time dog catcher to keep the city free of strays. All the argument about whether dogs or rats kill more waterfowl, whether loose dogs or waterfowl dirtying the iik me a greater nuisance, etc., is beside tne point. The whole point is that dogs must he controlliMl. undesirables eliminated, and well behaved dogs rewarded with the kmdness and freedom they deserve. The present law does not con trol the dog situation, but it does impose a .hardship on dogs and dog owners. A city ordinance based on the right premises and properlv enforced could control Ihr-siUitttion to the satisfaction of all the deserving dogs and most of the people. The city commission is power less to make adequate dog legis lation until the present law Is re pealed, and unable to enforce the present law with any degree of ef ficiency.

Sauad Is Small ' H The Bend team will not enter all of the relays, since the mar jorlty of events require a large number of sprinter, a scarce item on the squad. The only event that Bond has much chance to win points in is the pole vault in which Rasmussen will be one of the favorites. The Bear star is favoring a pulled thigh muscle which will definitely handicap him. Rasmussen was clearing 11 feet 6 inches in practice .regu larly prior to injuring his leg. That height should place him near the top at the Eugene meet.

Well, the 'Rainiers are on the top of the heap in the Pacific coast league pennant chase but not necessarily because of a slug ging array of talent. Last night was a good example. The Rainiers won two from the Oakland Acorns, 3-2 and 2 0 on the strength of some very fine pitching by the veteran Carl Fischer and Glenn Elliott. Meanwhile, the Portland Beav ers remained in a deadlock for first by taking a 2-0 win with the Hollywood Stars, winning the opener 1-0'and the nightcap 7-6. Seals Win Game ' The San Francisco Seals con tinued their domination of the Sacramento Solons, 8 2, and the Los Angeles Angels evened up their series with the San Diego Padres. 7-3. Two of the 1945 Seattle Acquisi tions paid off with base hits in the twin Rainier victories. In the first tilt third baseman Chuck Aleno singled to center to score two runs in the fifth; In the sec ond catcher Bob Finley drove home Aleno and Ted Norbert. Norbert hit a circuit clout in the first his eighth of the season. Manager Lefty O'Doul's Seals won their third game in four starts against the Solons with a big four-run splurge in the seventh. Bob Joyce, on the mound for the winners, scattered eight hits and chipped in with a pair himself in the 17-hit attack on Jackie Wilson. Del Young got four for four. Novikoff Big Gun Lou Novikoff was the big gun in the 14-blow attack of the Angels on three Padre hurlers. Theerst while "Mad Russian" pounded out three singles and a triple. In the opener at Portland pitch er Jake Motty was the hero. While holding the Stars to six hits, Mooty also doubled In catcher Eddie Adams with the lone run of the game. Joe Mishasek, star hurler, allowed only four other safeties. The nightcap went 11 innings after the Beavers came from behind to overtake a six- run Hollywood lead. Roy Helser got the pitching victory by limit ing Hollywood to 10 hits, ' ' League Standings American I (Uy Unitcil 1'resa) W L Pet.
