Hollywood Stars
Likely Prospects
To Retain Title
By Ed. Workman
(United i'rtus Spuria Writer)
San Fernando, Cal., March 15
(U'l Give the Hollywood Stars a
few left-handed hitters and they
may repeat the trick of winning
the Pacific Coast league basebail
championship.
The only southpaw hitter the
Twinks have in their training
camp here is first baseman Chuck
Stevens, who clouted a healthy
.297 last year.
But manager Fred Haney who,
in his first year as the Stars' pi
. lot, surprised with a PCL pen
' nant last year, is going to Vero
Beach, Fla., to see what help he!
can get from the parent Brooklyn
Dodgers to solve that left-handed
hitting problem.
The Stars' 1950 catching staff is
rated the best in the league, the
pitching squad includes seven
holdovers who last year won 79
of the Twinks' 109 victories; the
infield will be built around the
group which led the league in de
fensive play in 1949; but the out
field is over-shadowed with right
handers. ' In Good Shape ,
"We're in better shape .this
spring than ".'e were a year ago,"
Haney concedes. "And we're cer
tainly going to try our best to win
the pennant again. But the whole
league is stronger and better bal
anced this year. There wori't be
more than 35 games between the
top and bottom teams."
The catching staff is giving
Haney no worries with Cliff Dap
per, who managed Atlanta in
1949, listed as the top backstop.
Giving him support will be Mike
Sandlock and Jack Paepke, hold
overs from last year.
The mound staff lost Willard
Ramsdell, promoted to the Dodg
ers after winning 18 for Holly
wood last year. But back in camp
are George (Pinky) Woods (23
12); Gordon Malt.berger (19-10);
Glen Moulder (14-9); Jack Salve
son (11-7); and Art Shallock (12
9), ' Good Prospect V,"
A likely-prospect is southpaw
Ken Lehman, who as year won
16 and lost 12 for Pueblo, Colo.
Rookie Pershing Mondorff from
Mobile, Ala., and Ben Wade, up
from Nashville, Tenn., also may
make the grade. Les Anthony,
who had a dismal 719 record
with Los Angeles last year, is
pitching better ball with the Stars
this spring.
At the infield posts are last
year's stars first baseman Stev
ens, second baseman Gene Hand
Icy; shortstop Johnny O'Neil and
third baseman Murray Franklin,
who joined Hollywood in August
and hit a homer that clinched the
pennant two days before the sea
son ended.
Haney feels, however, that he
needs another shortstop to aid
O'Neil. And there is a possibility
that a former Hollywoodite, 21-year-old
Jim Baxas, who is listed
on the St. Paul Roster but hasn't
come to terms yet with the Dod
gers' organization, may return to
the hot corner for Hollywood.
Some tinkering must be done
with the all-right-handed outfield
of Frank Kelleher, a holdover;
Rookie Bob Bundy, who could be
the successor to Irv Norcn, sold
to the Washington Senators, and
Ed Sauer, former Los Angeles
player who is having difficulties
being waved out of the Interna
tional league.
Cliff Aberson, former Angel
- playerT-alsois an outfield pros
pect.
But Haney Is looking to the
Dodgers to bolster tne garden
spots with let-handed hitters.

Quint Big Upset
Tourney Winner
By Norman Miller
(United Preaa Stuff Correspondent)
New. York, March 15 tll'i Un
seeded City college of New York,
perpetrator of a fantastic rout of
Kentucky, barged into the semi
finals of the national invitniion
basketball tournament today,
striking terror to the hopes of
Duquesne, Bradley and St. Johns,
the seeded teams in the round of
four. In the most one-sided game In
the 13-year history of the tourna
ment, CCNY overwhelmed the
second-seeded Wildcats, 89- to 50,
iuai mi; ii oin-i j-'"- nana it looks like a long summer
quesne had come from behind in wilh a lot 0f cold suppers for the
the closing minutes to oust La KUVS who useil t0 (laW(lle at lhe
Salle, 49 to 47, before 18,000 fans jgfh noiP
at iviuuisun atiuure ijuiuen.
The Beavers' upset victory, ac
complished with devastating fe
rocity, was the most humiliating
New York, March 15 Hl'i The
golf "widower" was the new or
der of the fairways today as the
ladies of tiie links lined up a
drive which would put such al
leged sluggers as Chick Harbeit
and Sammy' Snead to bitter
shame.
The gals are all set to tee off
in California, hit their second
shots in Chicago, play their ap
proach in Cleveland and hole out
in New York. It's a par four lay
out for a $5,000 first prize and
the weathervane trophy and the
men haven't ever had anything
like it.
This four-city tournament, a
144 hole medal play affair, is the
first move of the women's pro
fessional golf association to cor
ral all the customer dollars onee
the exclusive property of the male
pros. And Horn the figures at
too, if their winter swing is any
indication. One day at Tampa,
Fla., they played to 5,000 fans and
another afternoon at Orlando,
Fla., they drew 4,000 people!
(iillery Majority
The women's P.G.A. points out
that women compose 60 per cent
of all golfing galleries at men's
tournaments and that the ladies
of the country clubs take 75 per
cent of the home club golf les
sons. That's just to prove the la
dies of the house go for golf just
as much as the guys who hold
their daily "business conferences"
on the first tee.
. But their real gimmick is get
ting the club players in each dis
trict to compete against the trav
eling set. If the locals do well,
so much the belter for interest.
It I hey don't, well, they'll si ill
have the fun and thrill of play
ing against the country's best
women players right in their own
back yards, with a fashion show
and a golf clinic thrown in for
free.
