MARCH 21, 1946 No. 89 Solons' Manager. Says His Team Weak This Season By Douglas Jaques ; (United PreM Sporu WrlUr) Sacramento, Calif., March 21 P Manager Earl Sheely of the Sacramento Solons Is one of the better giver-outers of "bear" stor es in the Pacific Coast league. This year he tearfully "admits" that his solons are weak In the pitching and catching depart ments for the 1946 season and. believe it or not, it appears that Professor Sheely has something this time in the way of truth. Last season the former big lesguer predicted his team would finish in the second division. - It Ipndecl in third place. This year for a spot in the playoffs which .,i,; , nn lower than fourth. He may be optimistic. . Infield Looks Good.' . The Solons potentially .have one of the finer infields in tho league with Steven Messner at third; veteran Jack Calvey at hort, Ben Geraghty at second and either Eddie Zipay or Gene Corbett at first. The outfield is strong, too. The 1945 batting champion, Joyner White, who hit .355,- is back and in fine fettle. Gee Walker comes down from the majors; and Jim my Grant, Jess Landrum and George Mandish, all good men, are fighting for posts. 1 That brings us up to the bat tery department with a very fin" triple-A ball club. - From there the solon "class" back-slides con siderably. ' Catchers Named , For catchers, heading the list is last year's second-stringer, Lilio Marcucci. Jim- Steiner, star of the 1944 club who played the 1945 season with Cleveland, was sup posed to be back.

WJfitjA II II PHI Unknown Keglers Set New Records Buffalo, March 21 P Thel dream of every average American bowler came true today in the 43rd annual American bowling congress championship when two mediocre, middle-aged keglers from Buffalo took first place in the doubles division by almost 100 pins. . v ' Johnny .Gworek. 43-year-old rolling mill foreman, and Henry Knidowski, 42,' an unemployed welder, toed the line yesterday for their first A. B. C. tourna ment. Both holding competitive averages of less than 170, they promptly compiled a record game and took the doubles lead to write a Cinderella story unmatched in the annals of the classic. Kmidowski fired a 199-234-265 for a 698 total while Gworek added a 662 for a first-place total of 1,360. Gworek finished with a blazing 279 to give the unknown team 544 for its last game the highest single-game mark In A. B. C. doubles history. down there. i Unless the Sacramento owners can dig up a good man from some othef club, the helpers will be Ed Fitzgerald, who played ' college ball at St. Mary's and Nick Pesut, a capable looking youngster. . On the mound things aren't quite that tough. Holdover win ners from 1945 are Guy Fletcher, who won 24 and lost 14; and Bud Beasley, winner of 12 against four losses, who won't report until his Reno school job ends June 1. Smith To Help A lot of help is expected from the veteran Al Smith, who spent many years in the majors with the New York Giants and Cleve land; and Hal Turpin, one-time his? winner for the Seattle Rain- icrs. Al Jarlett, who spent eight seasons with the Toronto Maple leafs in the International league, also will seek a starting berth. Among the boys returning from the service are Manny var gas, a good workman in pre-war days; Eddie ureen, Louie Mccul lum and Gerald Staley, - 'Of the four, McCullum looks best," Sheely asserts. "Ho played thi ef; years in the army and looxs as though he had the stuff." Vargas has been going very well in spring training, too, and Js expected to return to his pre war ability. The Senators nave 73 men in camp right now. They will re tain most of them" for the first 30 days of the season. When the cutting gets under way 25 or 30 will be retained; 15 or 20 will be sent to the class B Wenatchee farm In the Western International league, and the rest released. BILLY SMITH WINS - .

Kentucky Wildcats Tourney Victors New York, March 21 (IP) Ken tucky's wily wildcats, who barely escaped basketball fame in other years, claimed their first national championship today by the mar gin of one slim free throw.
