Bears, Axemen
In Local Finale
: The final no-name league con
test for Bend and the last home
game of the year will pit the
Bears against the power-packed
Eugene Axemen here Friday
night. The .Eugene game was
moved up after Medford cancel
led out because of the proximity
of the date to Its district tourna
ment. The Axemen will need this win
to assure themselves of the
league championship since they
are only a game ahead of Salem's
Vikings. Two weeks ago in Eu
gene they handed the Bears their
worst trouncing of the year and
' should rule as heavy favorites.
However, the Bears have had
their good moments this year
when any ' team in the state
might find difficulty In beating
them and could cause the Kuch
era men plenty of trouble. -
Axemen Powerful
; The Axemen are generally con-
', ceded to rank with Medford, Ore
gon City, Washington High of
' Portland and Baker as pre-tourna-
vment favorites for the state
championship. They will probab-
' iv be the strongest team to appear
on the local court this year with
the exception of the Boys club.
The Eugene team plays a hard
driving game similar to that dis
played by the Salem team, with
exceptional shooting on the part
of their players.
Tickets for this, the final game
are on sale at the. City Drug Co.

Seattle Ironmen
Trounce Oakland
(By United Press)
It was an all-around bad night
for central California's represen
tatives in the Pacific coast hock
ey league last night. The San
Francisco Shamrocks took an 8-2
beating from the Los Angeles
Monarchs in the south while Oak
land was being trounced 6 to 2
by the Seattle Ironmen..
In Seattle, the humbled Oakland
Oaks were handed their third
1 straight loss In their current in
vasion of the northern circuit
, when the Ironmen broke a tie
with a four-goal spree in the last
period. ;
Seattle opened the scoring with
two goals in the first period, but
the Oaks came back with one in
the first and another in the sec
ond to knot the score. Ironman
Bill Robinson broke the tie after
one. minute and 11 seconds of the
final period and the home team
followed up with three more
mounters to cinch the win.
The Oaks will move to Port
land tonight to try again against
the Eagles.

Today's Sport Parade
- By Oscar Fraley
(United Press Sports Writer)
. New York,- Feb. 21 (IB Base
ball men seemed a mite surprised
today that Manager Eddie Dyer
of the St. Louis Cardinals named
34-year-old Terry Moore as team
captain which must surprise
both Dyer and Moore. . '
For the plain fact of the mat
ter is that Dyer has believed as
gospel all along that Moore
would be his outfield pivot man
when the Cards go out in April
to start winning back that Na
tional league flag from the Chi
cago Cubs.
"Our outfield certainly Is no
problem' Dyer explained. "Moore
will-be back." .. ...,..
Just like that the Texas man
solved the situation.' And, when
somebody wanted to . know
whether Moore wasnt getting
just a bit too decrepit, Eddie ex
plained: "Sure, Terry soon will be 34
but he's just as fast as ever, he's
smart and he'll cover as much
ground as any of them. On top
of that, Moore is just about the
greatest team player in the ma
jors today."
That's a tipoff on how badly
the Cards missed Moore when he
enlisted in the army on May 31,
1943, after leading the Cards to
a 1942 world series victory over
the Yankees. '
The popular misconception was
that with all the youngsters re
turning to the Cardinal fold, and
a sterling lot at that, such "old
men" as Moore might find them-

selves on the waiver list.' .
But they were forgetting the
fact that three years ago Terry
was the best in the center field
business. Okay, so you're a Di
maggio fan. But they'd give you
a red-hot argument in the Card
inal camp. And two of the erst
while St. Louis pilots, Billy South
worth and. Ray Blades, are on
record with assertions that Moore
was the man for their money.
So after talking with Dver.
there never was a question but
what Moore would wind up in the
Card outfield. They like his
spirit and his all-out team try.
Senor Miguel Angel Gonzale,"
the Cardinal coach who gained
linguistic lame with his "sroodfn.
field, no hit" report on a rookie,
hit it right on the head.
"Terry? Oh, heeze great fel
low. Great ball player. Never
saw better wan. Ala time get
ting better. Heet him on head,
he never mind. Lots of what
you say, gits. Mike make no
mistake when, he see him first
time. Alius lots of class. No bad
habit. Fine man on team to
have. Like ween alia time. Lose
he know he do best. Can't ask
what more of ball player."
Mike is right, as usual. Moore
is a ball player's ball player. He'll
be in there battling to the final
out every time, welding his team
mates into one unit that meshes
and even at 34 giving it plenty of
pepper.
That's because he has the can
nlness of 60 and the frolicksome
ness of 16. The answer would
seem to be that Moore is a very
young 34.

Heads For Camp
Chicago, Feb. 21 Pi Baseball's
erstwhile "wonder boy," Bob Fel
ler of the Cleveland Indians heads
south tonight to take part in his
first spring training In five sea
sons and like a million diamond
fans he has a big question he ex
pects the Florida drills to answer:
"Did four years in the navy and
away from baseball chores take
away any of the blinding speed
that helped catapult him from ob
scurity Into major league star
dom?" Feller was discharged from ser
vice in time to pitch eight games
lato last season, but he doesn't re
gard that 'trial' as of sufficient
length to provide a real answer
as to the effects his long absence
may have had on his pitching.
. "Whether I'm as fast as ever
is one of the things I think spring
training is going to determine,"
Bob said In a frank evaluation of
himself. "I believe I am, but then
we'll see. Even If I am as fast as
ever maybe I won't look it' to
those on the bench or in the grand
stand for I've got a lot bettor con
trol than I had when I broke in."
