THE BENB BULLETIN GENERAL NEWS SPORTS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 47th Yeaiv TWO SECTIONS BEND. DESCHUTES COUNTY. OREGON, FRIDAY. APRIL 21. 1950 No. 116 Murry Dickson Gets Revenge From Cardinals By Carl I.undquisl (United l'r Sltorta Writer) New Xo-k, April 21 iU') Murry Dickson, a bitter little man whose own heart was broken when he was traded from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, kept right on piling up revenge today against his old Cardinal pals and teammates. It wasn't enough that he de feated them five times last year, winning four games in vital situ ations when the Cardinals were battling the Dodgers down the stretch. He wreaked vengeance again yesterday, pitching a typi cally steady six-hitter as Pitts burgh won an 8 to 4 decision and took the odd game of "the series of three. Dickson made no secret of his " feelings when the Cardinal brass hats sold him to Pittsburgh for S135.000 without consulting Man ager Eddie Dyer. Dyer also was openly unhappy about the situa-J tion Because uicKson long nas been one o his favorite pitchers and "a guy I could always count on if we had to win a tough one." Cardinals Grumble ' And it was understandable, too, that there was plenty of grum bling ia the Cardinal club house alter some of those tough defeats at the hands of an old friend. "That guy ought to be on our side instead of against us and then we'd all be picking up the world series dough," said one key Cardinal player. The same sentiments probably were echoed yesterday, particu larly because the Pirates gave the erstwhile best St. Louis pitch er, Lefty Howie Pollet, a thor ough going over. Ted Beard, Pittsburgh leadoff man, hit Pol let's first pitch for a first inning homer, and Howie was batted out of the box when he was tagged for three more hits and three runs in the second inning. His successors fared little bet lev, five Cardinal pitchers being used after the game was beyond recall. Jackie Phillips highlighted a four-run fourth inning with a Pirate homer. Beard, Wally West lake, Stan Rojek and Phillips came up with two hits apiece in the- 10-hit , Pirate barrage. Tigers Win At Cleveland, the. Tigers made it two In a row over the Indians, winning a 5 to 4 decision behind the steady six-hit pitching of Ted Gray. Gray, given an early lead when the Tigers blasted Early VVynn for three runs on three hits in the first inning, escaped serious trouble until young Al Rosen hit a two-run homer in the ninth. Rosen, getting his second hom er in as many games, came up alter Gray had hit Lou Boudreae on the elbow with a pitched ball, forcing him out of the game with a bruise that will keep him in active for a tlav or so. Pat Mullin and Johnny Lipon came up with two run doubles to pace Cleveland's well-bunched six-hit attack. After Wynn was Knocked out in the fourth Marino Pieretti, acquired on waivers from uncago, pitched three hitless in nings for Cleveland. All other major league games were rained out. Stranahan Faces Red-Hot Rival . Pinehurst, N.C., April 21 nil Although ho faced a red-hot rival in today's semi-final round, mil lionaire Frank Stranahan was re garded as a prohibitive choice to defend his title In the north and south amateur golf tournament. The Toledo, O., star was match ed against Wynsol K. Spencer of Newport- News V current New Jersey and New York metiopoli-1 'in cnamplon, In the db-liole semi finals. The other semi final paired VV. C. Campbell of Huntington, W. Va-. and J. Walcott Brown of Manasquan, N.J. Stranahan, who has been favor ed from the start and has met each challenge with increasing ability, was at his best in the quarter-finals as he trounced tOUeh .T.i.'lr Pnlr. Ji- nf r"hirn.n 5 and 4. After losing the first hole as Culp birdied, the blond champion won the second, third, fourth, eighth, and ninth holes to leach the turn with a com manding four-up lead. It would be hard to fault Spen c,'t's game in the quarter-final either. For he did not lose a 'ingle hole as ho downed J. A. Mi-Bride of Rlrigewood, N.J., 4 and 3. Campbell shot even par goll ot the 15 holes It took him to "efeat Rav L. Plttman of Fay e"evlllo, N C, 4 and 3. He reach p'i the turn two up, won the 'th and 13th and halved the next two.

Cast in an unusual, uncommon. ly high setting today is grizzled Zack Taylor and a callow crew of kids masquerading as the swashbuckling St. Louis Browns. "All i ask," Taylor said before the season opened, "is that we get off to a respectable start. It would mean a lot to these inex perienced kids and it wouldn't hurt my morale any, cither." laylor, or lust plain "Z. T.." as his friends call him, has his oft- badgered Brownies in a first place tie with Detroit and although there is no degree of permanence connected with the berth, the St. i.ouis pilot is unquestionably the happiest manager in the majors. Fans May Turn Out No elaborate homecoming 'is planned for the all-conquering Browns (won two and lost none) whe nthey troop into the sociable environs of Sportsman's park to morrow to take on the Cleveland Indians. It would be no less than fitting, however, if St. Louis fans turned out in force to ogle, ad mire and gape at such unaccus tomed first placers. After all, things like this don't happen to the Browns every week end. "We are liable to fool a lot of experts in 1950," predicted prexy Bin uewitt the past winter. It is strongly suggested that brother DeWitt sit back and re lax. The Browns already have fooled a large portion of the baseball populace. From here on in, everything else they can grab will come under the general head ing of "gravy." Youngsters on Club It is a toss-up around the league as to which club is dis missed more liglitly the Browns or the Senators. But Taylor is sincerely convinced that his fledglings will cause havoc among the circuit's strongest contenders. "The youngsters dn our club are fighting for their'jobs," rea sons Taylor, "so they're bound to cause the other clubs plenty of trouble." The youngsters Taylor speaks of include such big league novices as infielders Don Lcnhardt, Tom Upton, Billy Demars, Owen Friend, Sid Schacht and Ken Wood, none of whom even set the minors on fire. Just to set the record straight, the Browns' management never was elated about having to peddle such stars as Vern Stephens, Bob Now Spring Cleaning The Easy G-E Way!

WES WATKINS, Manager 644 Franklin Phone 159 Two Homers, also won their game, knocking 5 on the Solon home grounds. with Portland holding a .002 margin over the Seals. Both teams are five games behind the first-place Holly wood Stars who used pitcher Pinky Woods all the way in overrunning Seattle 15 to 4. The San Diego Padres at the border city shut out Los Angeles 6 to 0 to strengthen their second- place seat in the standings. Triple Play seen At Oakland, 3,789 otherwise dis appointed fans witnessed the triple-play thrill in the last of the ninth. Portland turned what might have been an Acorn rally into defeat. Red Lynn walked third baseman Bill Herman and George Metkovich. With Don rracehia running for Herman, Earl Rapp hit a sizzling line drive to Portland's Ed Basinski on sec ond. He tossed to shortstop Joe Pohch, doubling off Fracchio, and Polich relayed to first baseman Mickey Rocco for the triple. San Francisco at Sacramento was behind all the way until the top of the ninth. The rally started as Dick Briskey reached first base safely on an error. Ray Or teig walked and Jack Tobin dou bled to score Briskey. Tony Frei- tas, who had relieved Junior Thompson on the mound, walked Neil Sheridan, and then prize slugger Les Fleming stepped up I and clouted a round trip blast with the bases loaded. Sacramen to could not come back after that. Hollywood Powerful Hollywood led Seattle from the start and came up with a seven run eighth inning. That was after Frank Kelleher knocked a home run with the bases full in the fifth to clinch the Stars' third win this week over the hapless Rai niers. Red Embrce pitched the-shutout for the Padres, grabbing his first win of the season. He allow ed two hits in the first inning and two In the seventh; with nothing between. All four hits were sin gles, and in each case he was saved by double plays. WRONG TECHNIQUE Knoxvllle, Tenn., April 21 IB Mi's. Rita Hein Schiffers said In a divorce suit on file here today that she found out her husband was going out with other women by checking baseball schedules. She said Joseph K.

"We sold those players," De Witt explains, "simply because we needed money to keep operating." The Browns still can use money. But in its place that temporary first place perch does nicely. Bob Cummings Retains Coast Wrestling Title The Pacific coast Junior heavy weight wrestling crown still rests atop the head of Bob Cummings today after the title holder de feated challenger "Gentleman Dale" Haddock in a furious championship bout at the Bend armory last night. cummings used his famous knee-action leg binder hold to good advantage in taking the last two falls of the match, after Had dock had won the first fall in 12 minutes with a hangman's hold. It was "Gentleman Dale's" first defeat since invading the north west several months ago. In winning the match, the champion proved to be just as adept as Haddock in the art of catch-ascatchcan wrestling. Again and again the Gentleman reached into his bag of tricks in an attempt to uncrown the champion only to have his under handed tactics turned against him with advantage by Cummings. The Seaside strong bov knows all the "angles," local fans agreed after the match. SenilUnal Interests The semi-final match on the card between Al Szasz and John Pavlch proved to be one of the most interesting exhibitions of scientific wrestling held here in recent months. The bout ended in a stalemate, after Szasz had taken the first fall in 25 minutes with a reverse grapevine and Pa vich had come bounding back to win the second fall in eight min utes with a series of drop kicks and a body press. bo popular was the bout that Promoter Tex Hager has agreed to match the pair In a return bat tle on next week's card here. The first match of the evening was won by Karl Grey, of Mil waukee, Wis., who defeated Gust Johnson in 18 minutes with a punishing half crab hold. Referee for the evening was Eldred Breese. ..
