Kramer Angry
Oyer Transfer
By' Milton Richman
(Unitnl Prenii Siwrta Writer)
New York, Feb. 27 lU'i Pitcher
Jack Kramer, burning over his
transfer from the Red Sox to the
Giants, fired a blistering broad
side at ex-manager Joe McCarthy
today, who he claimed prevented
him from going to the champion
Yankees.
"That McCarthy is the most or
nery man I know," fumed the
handsome 32-year-old right-hand
er over the telephone from his
New Orleans home. "I know for
a fact the Yankees offered sev
eral players for me a few weeks
ago but McCarthy said nothing
dome.
"He railroaded me out of the
American league only because he
had a personal grudge against
me. McCarthy's lust plain vindic
tive. When you're winning, he's
all for 2you; when you're not do
ing so well, he avoids you like
you got a disease.
"He knew I had a sore arm last
year but he didn't care. He con
veniently forgot all about the 18
games I won for him in 1948."
- Sold (o Giants
Kramer, who had a lackluster
six-and-eight record with the Red
Sox last year, was waived out of
the American league yesterday
and sold to the Giants for a re
ported $25,000. The deal, "in the
works" for some time, paralleled
the 1945 "gentlemen's agree
ment" of American league own
ers, who allowed pitcher Hank
Borowy to be waived from the
Yankees to the Cubs.
Along with shortstop Vcrn
Stephens, Kramer came to the
Red Sox from the St. Louis
Browns in November, 1947, for
five players and about $150,000
in cash.
"Something is fishy about the
whole deal," Kramer declared.
"Joe Cronin (Red Sox general
manager) called me and said he
didn't have anything to do with
it. He told me he only handles
the contracts and McCarthy han
dles player transfer."
The six-foot-one-inch, 195-pound
hurler paused a second and
sighed.
"McCarthy hasn't had the last
laugh, though," he said. "Let him
take a look at his staff without
me. He doesn t nave a lot ien.
To think that he'd bear a grudge
against me just because I had a
bad arm."
New York, Feb. 27 aj'i Leav
ing for a few days of pre-train-ing
fishing in Florida, Ted Wil
liams predicted today that the
1950 pennant races would be "as
hof, as the last two" because
higher salaries and the players'
pension fund had eliminated the
"soft touch."
"The worst pitcher and the
worst club in baseball are in
there on the last day of the sea
son trying to knock your brains
out," the American league's most
valuable player insisted.
The Bosox batting star credited
this will to win to two factors:
The pension fund which stimu
lates youngsters to stay up in
the majors and the higher sal
aries "which have everybody hus
tling so they won't lose them."
"I think we have a wonderful
chance to. win the pennant," the
lithe, lean slugger said, "but we'll
have to get off faster, that's all,
than we have in the past two
years.
Had Busy Time
Winding up an off-season in
which he fished in Florida, hunted
in Minnesota, judged a duck call
irg championship in Arkansas
and demonstrated his fly-casting
prowess in the Boston and New
York sportsmen's shows, Wil
liams dropped his head into his
sinewy fingers as he thought over
those last two seasons.
. In 1948 the Bosox lost the
American league crown in a play
off with Cleveland and last sea
son dropped the title to the Yan
kees on the last day of the season.
"We can't come much closer,
but . this year it's going to be an
other rough race all Ihe way,"
he insisted. "This time there are
going to be five clubs in it the
Red, Sox, the Yankees, Cleveland,
Detroit and Philadelphia. And
the other three are going to be
tough because they want those
big league salaries and want to
stay eligible for the pension
fund."
In Good Shape
A fit 195 pounds just about
playing weight after an arduous
winter, Williams expects another
rough year for the hitters.
"Every club has good pitching,"
explained the most feared batter
in baseball. "I'm not ccmplaining,
understand, but it gets harder
and harder to hit up around that
.350 mark. I guess it can be at
tributed to better pitching, more
night ball and resultant irregular
habits. But understand, I'm not
complaining and I'm not saying
that conditions are bad.
The kid, who has been criti
cized so often that now he is care
ful about each statement, didn't
do too badly last year. He missed
his fifth batting championship
by a fraction as he hit .343; led
in runs, doubles and homers,
with 43, and tied for the runs-batted-in
crown.
Redmond Gives
Bend Lava Bears
Tough Battle
The Redmond Panthers Satur
day gave warning to the Bend
Lava Bears that no pushover is
in the offing next week-end, when
the two teams vie for the district
championship.
The Kedmoncl quintet, mucli

with Bend, Saturday gave the
Bears a rough fight, although
ending up on the short end of a
60-52 count.
In their previous meeting this
season the Bears had defeated
the Panthers by a 30-point mar
gin. The Bruin hoopsters led
throughout the contest Saturday
night but the Panthers put on
a final quarter drive to come
within eight points of the local
basketeers.
Panther scoring was paced by
center Don Krieger with 20
points, while the Bears were led
by Jack Robison with a total of
14 counters.
Bend Juniors Win

junior varsity overcame the Pan
ther jayvees 44-27. Bruin Dick

"Uneasy lies the head that
wears the crown" is just about
the way the cagy Cougars of
Washington State college feel to
day. Their stock In the northern divi
sion basketball race took a slight
tumble as the result of the fol
lowing week end happenings: .
1. Idaho sweeps the vi'ashing
ton series, winning 48-45 Saturday
night.
2. Oregon bumps Oregon State
45-40.
3. Washington State loses to
Gonzaga 46-43.
Oregon State, tenaciously cling
ing to that mathematical chance
of tieing the Cougars for the
crown, invades Washington for a
crucial do-or-die series this week
end. Washington State, mean
while, has to face that dangerous
Idaho quintet.
Gonzaga's win possibly was the
most stunning of the Saturday
night events.
Five Seniors Effective
Five Bulldog seniors, playing
their last game on their home
court, went the distance to nail
the tanned Cougar hide to the
basket. They matched the Staters
basket for basket in the first half,
then piled up a six-point lead over
Coach Jack Friel's second platoon
early In the second stanza. .
But even the determination of
the Gonzaga quintet couldn't hold
down gamboling Ed Gayda. The
W.S.C. sharpshooter clicked for
15 points, only two less than Gon
zaga's Rich Evans who led the
bucket brigade.
Oregon, folding up its 1950 con
ference schedule, rallied in the
dying minutes to overcome the
Beavers. Will urban was tne man
who made the points where they
counted the most ... at the foul
