Northwest Leads
In Collegiate
Boxing, Revealed
By Carl L. Anderson
(United I'resa Snort Writer)
Spokane, April 5 (IB The co
championship of the national col
legiate boxing world and five of
eight titles. All right' here in the
northwest.
This astounding achievement
by Gonzaga university here, the
University of Idaho at Moscow
and Washington State college at
Pullman has northwest sports
fans buzzing. '
"How come we have such fine
collegiate boxers right here in
Washington and Idaho?" they
wonder proudly. "Why, our box
ers cleaned up on the whole coun
try back there at Penn State."
It's a wonderful thing to be
able to talk about. And it's hard
to get a clear-cut answer, even
after talking to the coaches- and
the boxers. But here are a few
ideas.
Certajnly good coaches have a
lot to do with it. Joey August at
Gonzaga, Ike Deeter at Washing
ton State and Frank Young at
Idaho are among the finest. But
the eastern coaches are no slouch
es. .
Like Boxing
"We all love boxing more than
anything else," says August.
"That makes all the difference in
the world. We all fought a lot in
competition when we were young
er and know the ropes pretty
well."
A rather modest appraisal of
the coaching factor, t
There are other ideas: It's often
said about boxers that they grew
up in the alleys and learned to
fight when they were young.
That hardly seems to fit this
group. Some even wonder if the
climatic conditions may have
something to do with it.'
But there seems to be one idea
that sounds as near the one ma
jor factor as any. It sort of ties
in with the coaching theory.
Collegiate boxing in the inland
empire got its first real boost
when Ike Deeter started as box
ing coach at WSC nearly a quar
ter of a century ago.
AlmnHl Malor Snort;
Then along In 1931, Louie A'u-1
gust, brother 01 Joey, went in at
Idaho and added impetus. It was
about this time, with Deeter and
August as the sparks, that boxing
started on the road to practically
a major sport, status. They at
tracted good boxers who attract
ed more good boxers.
In 1939, Joey took over at Gon
zaga and by then others had join
ed the group. Merle Vannoy went
to eastern Washington college at
Cheney (which didn't enter the
nationals but has some of the
best fighters on the coast) and
Frank Young took over at Idaho
just before the war.
Soon it became sort of self-perpetuating.
These fine and enthusi
astic coaches developed fine box
ers. And the fine boxers being so
close, fought each other, often
gradually getting better.
That climate theory could be
backed up by one fact: All these
boys actually are from this area.
Carl Maxey and Jim Reilly of
Gonzaga are Spokane boys; Herb
Carlson of Idaho is from Wallace,
Eli Thomas of Gonzaga is from
Butte, Mont., and Everett Conley
of WSC is from Everett, Wash.
None of them are imports as
often happens in other sports.
Whatever the theories about
why the northwest has become
the "collegiate boxing capital of
the nation," one thing is certain.
This has opened a new era in the
boxing sport here. Who knows?
Maybe in a few years the other
schools in the country will have
to come out here to get beat.

Portland's Batting Power
Results in Two Victories
OverOakland; Good Turnout
Portland, April 5 (U.P) Portland bnttinjr power dropped
the Oakland Acorns twice yesterday by identical 7-2 scores
oeiore lu.ubj tans in the atternoon game and 9,329 at night.
The games took the form of a delayed double-header, be
lieved used for the first time in Pacific Coast league history
for an opening day crowd. The two games allowed a total of
19,392 fans to watch first day ceremonies whereas Port
land s. ancient Vaughn street
will park, would have held at
tendance down to 13,500 for
a single game.
No game will be played to
day. Oakland drew first blood in last
night's slugfest. Roy Weatlierly
singled, advanced to second on an
infield out, got to third base on a
single by Augie Galan, and scored
on a fly ball to left field. .
forrest Ihompson replaced los
ing pitcher Al Gettel for Oakland
in the third inning as Portland
scored three runs on two walks, a
hit batter, a single, and a double.
Gap Closed
Oakland closed the gap to 3-2
in the fourth inning on a single
by Earl Rapp, an error by Luis
Marquez, an Infield out, and Roy
Zimmerman's double. Pitcher
Roy Helser relieved starter Vince
Desiasl in the fifth Inning for the
Beavers.
Portland scored one run In each
of the fourth, fifth, sixth, and
seventh innings on six hits, three
walks, and two sacrifices.
Helser's win was his first
against one loss, while Gettel lost
his third game in the young seas
on. '
In the afternoon gamp, the
Beavers entertained 10,063 fans
with a 7-2 win over the Oaks.'
Wild 7th Inning
After establishing a 2-1 edge in
the sixth, the Beavers broke wide
open in a wild seventh inning to
score five runs. There were three
hits, singles by Steve Mesner and
Mickey Rocco, and a double by
Joe Brovia. who hit the game's
only homer in the third. Two
walks, two errors, a wild pitch
and a'passed ball gave the Beav
ers their five runs.
The Oaks got their final run in
the ninth when Don Padgett
doubled. .Portland did not bat In
the final inning.
Oakland cored first in the sec
ond Inning when Weatherly singl
ed, a- fielders'- 'choice baekfired,
pitcher Red Adams and Don
Padgett grounded out to score
Weatherlv.
The Beavers came back in the
third to tie it up. Joe Brovia hit
his homer with two out and none
on.
Again with two out in the bot
torn of the sixth the Beavers
broke loose on consecutive
doubles by catcher' Jim Gladd and
Adams. Gladd drove a double to
right center field and Adams hit
the center field wall.
San Francisco, despite a triple
Dlav bv, the Solons, won over
Sacramento, 6-4; Los Angeles out
slugged San Diego, 8-7, and Holly
wood beat Seattle, 4-0.
Triple Play Weird
The Sacramento triple play was
a weird affair and came, as Don
Lane of the Seals hit a hot bound
er down to Jim Tabor at third.
There were men on second and
first at the time. Tabor tossed the
ball to second for oncout; second
baseman Don Johnson threw to
first baseman Steve Souchock for
the second out, and then Sou-
chock rifled the ball across the
diamond to Tabor, who caught
Joe Grace napping a few feet off
third base. The Seals won tne
game with a four-run rally in the
sixth. Elmer Singleton, touched
for four runs in the first three
innings, including a homer by Ta
bor, retired the final 18 men to
face him in order. Lang clouted a
home run for the Seals in the sec
ond.
The Angels won their slug-fest
on homers, time rietener ana
Lloyd Lowe each hit for the cir
cuit. For the Padres, Max West
and Buster Adams did the same.
The best mound Job of the day
was turned in at Seattle, where
veteran George (Pinky) Woods
tossed a three-hitter in blanking
the Suds to best Guy Fletcher in
a pitching duel.
The Beavers pounded out 11
hits in each of the afternoon and
night games to get their seven
runs in each tilt. Joe Brovia hit
for the circuit in the third Inning
of the afternoon tilt. Red Adams,
getting three more balks to bring
his total in 15 innings of mound
duty to seven, allowed the Oaks
only five hits In the afternoon.
U.of O. Nine Wins
From Portland
Eugene, April 5 'U University
of Oregon's baseballers won their
second game in two days yester
day as the Ducks rallied to heat
Portland university, 6-5.
The Ducks trailed 5-4 going in
to the seventh inning, but singles
by Don Kimball. Ray Coley. and
Jack Smith knotted the count. In
the next frame, Oregon scored
its winning run on Duane Ow
nes' infield single, his steal to
second, and Kimball's double.
Sid Mills, the third Oregon
pitcher, gained credit for the win.
while pilot reliefer Glenn Hittner
was charged with the loss. The
Wcbfoots collected 14 hits to
Portland's six.
New York, April 5 iU'i Dizzy
Dean, a little greyer, a little heav
ier anu a lot more talkative,
"snuk" quietly into town today
and immediately proclaimed
young Mickey McDermott as the
fastest pitcher in baseball and
"Good. Ol' Diz" as the slickest
slugger on the links.
"This McDermott. of the Red
Sox is the fastest around," allow
ed the great Dean." 'Course, he
ain't faster than I was but lie's
the fastest there is now."
Dean, here to sign a television
commentator's contract with the
Yankees, wanted to talk golf as
much as baseball.
"Ya know," he declared, "I've
been shooting a lot of 70's and
I even had a 69. Now don't go
printin' that because the guys I
play with will want me to spot
'em more strokes.
Big Bets Won
"I won $11,000 in a golf match
not so long ago. That was more
than the Cardinals paid me in
three seasons."
Dizzy, who handles the king's
English like a semi-pro, said he
has made no elaborate prepara
tion for his commentating job
with the Yankees.
"Ain't looked at a grammar
book in years," he said, shrug
ging his shoulders. "You know
how my education was. I went to
the second grade and never fin
ished the first too good.
"Those Brooklyn fans don't
worey me none. If they don't un
derstand me too good we're even
Stephen because I never under
stood them too good."
The Hollywood Stars of the Pa
cific Coast league drew a barb
from Diz because of their recent
adoption of short pants.
"Anything can happen out
there," h said -indifferently. "Be
sides, a lotta those guys look like
bloomer girls anyway.
89 Years Old
Dean, who said he was 39 years
old "they had a war and they
checked on me insisted he likes
his baseball straight, free of short
pants, hulking elephants and gift
refrigerators.
"The way things are now," he
added, "I could win 20 easy . . .
25 or 30 if I was with a first divi
sion club. But I'm a cinch for 20
victories anytime, any place, just
remember that."
If there was a "must" game
that he just had to win, Dean said
he would choose Don Newcombe
of the Dodgers to do his hurling.
"Newcombe has more natural
stuff than anyone in baseball,"
Diz volunteeied. "He's naturally
gifted just like I was. My ball
had a lot of stuff on it, too."
Dean, the prophet, went into a
huddle with himself and came
forth with the information that
the Yankees and Dodgers will
meet in the 1950 world series. He
picked Ills old club, the Cardinals,
fifth.

Big Name Pros
Near Compromise
In Disagreement
By William Tucker
(United IVeitH SliortH Writer)
Augusta, Ga., April 5 ill'i The
big-name golf professionals were
operating on two fronts here to
day on the eve of the famed
Augusta Masters tournament.
In the clubhouse, the stars
were brewing a compromise with
the Professional Golfers associa
tion on their demand that they be
permitted to control and operate
the tournaments in which they
appear.
Out on the course laid out by
the great shotmaster Bobby
Jones, they were hoping to get
in some last minute practice fur
the big event that starts tomoV
row practice they weren't able
to take yesterday because of rain.
Compromise Indicated
The 'political battle seemed to
be resolving itself into a compro
misewith the players getting at
least part control of the tourna
ments and the PGA retaining
part. Details of the compromise
will be discussed next Monday
at 9 a.m. when the PGA "brass"
meets with the 11 stars who make
up the "board of governors" of
the orderly revolt.
The meeting will be presided
over by former star Horton
Smith, now secretary of the PGA.
Smith revealed today he will
seek to get agreement on the es
tablishment of a "ways and
means" committee to handle the
tournaments. This committee
would be composed of four of the
big name pros, to be elected by
their fellows, plus Smith, PGA
president Joe Novak, and PGA
treasurer Harry Moffitt.
"Supreme. Court" I'lanned
The board, Smith said, also
would be the supreme court as
far as gripes by the players are
concerned. He also intlicated that
the tumultuous job of handling
tournaments would never be laid
on the shoulders of just one man
again as it was first with Fred
Corcoran and then with George
Schneiter.
Schneitcr, who was spokesman
for the 11 rebellious pros in a
meeting at Chicago, was bounced
as tournament director, Smith
said, because he followed "irregu
lar procedure." Eventually he
will be replaced and the indica
tion was the replacement would
be one of the most famous pro
fessionals, whose identitfy hasn't
been considered yet.
In the meantime. 33-year-old
Howard Capps has been appoint
ed temporary tournament direc
tor.

PITCHER BAI.KY
Portland, April 5 H Portland
baseball pitcher Charles (Red)
Adams ran his balk pitches to
seven yesterday as he committed
three balks in the first game with
the. Oakland Acorns in a day-
night twin bill.
The balks were called on Ad
ams under the new "hesitation"
rule in effect this year. Adams'
seven balks in 15 innings pitched
so far this year are more than
most pitchers commit in a life
time of hurling.
