(UP) The Chicago Cubs finished seventh in the Na tional League race last year, and although Manager Stan Hack feels otherwise, they'll be lucky to climb much higher in 1955. The Windy City's once-dominant baseball team has gone steadily down-mil in recent years and now is in the midst ot a rebuilding program. Its spring camp was loaded with rookies, and even 1 several should come through this year there are too many basic weaknesses to propel Chicago into a nag contenders position. "We need pitching most of all,' East Wins Cage All-Star Game KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP) All America Dick Rlcketts of Du quesne today held the most valu able player distinction for his 19- point play that led the East All- Stars to a 90 to 77 fourth annual Shrine basketball victory. Monday night's victory was the first for the East, which also had the help of All-America Tom Gola of La Salle. Go'.a scored 10 points. But Fordham's Ed Conlon tallied 10 points during a five-and-one-half minute drive as the East set up its superiority over the West and never fell behind. Conlon finished with a 14 point total, tying In diana's Don Schlundt for second high honors on the East team. Ricketts, a 6-foot-7 Duquesne sen ior, was en overwhelming choice for the most valuable player award. ; The halftlme score had the East ahead 41-to-27. The West squad ma hindered when three players, including All America Dick Garmaker of Minne sota, failed to appear. High point man of the game, nowever. was on the West, side as Oklahoma's Lester Lane, the smallest man on the floor, scored 23 points. HOI.E-INONE PORTLAND (UP) Dale Mul holland scored a hole - In one six months ago on the 115-yard fifth hole at Lloyds golf course while using a four Iron. His partner was Carl Larson. Yesterday, Mulhollnnd got fin other hole-lh-one on the same hole with the same four Iron. Again, Larson was his partner. Reckless Driving "Kid Stuff"! r When mrn or boy rngngi; In rrcklert "kid ituft" driving jul who are lliry really "kidding"? They kid only lliniuelvrs. Tln-y may think thoy arc "upcrdriver". No one flat thinks so. They mny In working nil infantile grudgri. But why kill (lis capahle drivers and careful pnlrlrinnA too? It just doesn't make sense. It's not funny. It "kid stuff." Let's stop it! Published as a public service in n operation with The Advertising Council, and The Bend HiilMIn Hack said. "After that, we need catching and a regular outfielder. "I hope we do as well with rook ies as we did last year," he said. ' We had three good ones Ernie Banks at short, Gene Baker at sec ond and left-handed pitcher Jim Davis." Infield Shapes I'p Banks and Baker teamed to form one of Chicago's best double-play combinations in many seasons. In addition, both batted .275, respect able figures for their positions. Da vies, purchased in early-season from Seattle, finished with an 11-7 mound record. "Those two boys around second are going to be great ones," Hack said. If they do as well as last year I'll be satisfied. Chicago's infield is the only place where Hack is set to slart the. season. Besides Banks and Baker, he has Dee Fondy at first and slugging Randy Jackson at third. The unit ranks high among the league's defensive groups, and offensively holds its own. The outfield is a problem. The sale of homerun hitter Ralph Kiner to the Cleveland Indians vacated left field, so slugger Hank Sauer moves back to that spot. Frankic Baumholtz because ot his hitting, leads to the race for the other two positions. . Two rookies are fighting for the centerfield post If Baumholtz holds down right. One, Ga'.e Wade, came to the Cubs in the Kiner deal. He's one of the fastest men In the game, hut a weak hitter. The other Is Sollie Drake, who batted .282 with Des Moines a year ago. Junes Looks Good A second player who came to Chicago from Cleveland is Huck's greatest hope among the roofce pitchers. Workhorse Sam Jones has looked impressive In training camp games. The jump from the Class C California League, where he was 28-4 with Stockton, may prove too much for Bob Thorpe, the club's most heralded rookie. The same may hold true for John Andre, a 21-9 righthander Willi Shrevepprt. Veterans round out the pitching corps. They are Howie Pollett, Boh Rush, Paul Minner and Warren Hucker. The first two, according to Hack, have been "throwing real good" in spring training. For catching, Hack is in a quan dary. He threc-platooned the posi tion last year with veterans Clyde MeCullough nnd Walker Cooper, and rookie Elvin Tnppe. None was of sufneeint culibre to hold the post, and this year reluming serv iceman Ilnrry Chili probably will get the first call. BULLETIN The Bend Bulletin, Tuesday, March 22, 1955 Webfoots Blank Stanford 3 to 0 STANFORD, Calif. (UP) Ore gon University shut out the Stan ford Indians 30 in a pre-season practice baseball game yesterday, primarily becauso of the efforts of two excellent Duck pitchers, i Righthander Bill Hlodgett start ed the game for Oregon and was relieved in the sixth hy southpaw Bill Donner. They gave up only six hits between them. Oregon's big slickers were catch er Neal Marlett who collected double and u single in four times at bat and outfielder George Shaw who pounded a tremendous triple and a single in five trips.

LUTHER LINDSEY, Greatest Colored Wrestler in USA teamed with BULLDOG CURTIS against TOGO and SAKATA 4 s m i 'Witf fill i jffti".- I i mum iimai rttt-:f,i1 LuUier Llndsey "Utilhlog" Bud ( tirtis SEMI-FINAL Dick Torio vs. Jack Kiser Hopper Serves Notice Beavers Will be Tougher GLENDALE, Calif. (UP) The Portland Beavers, bolstered by six player deals in the past three- months, served notice today that they will be a lot tougher in the Pacific Coast League race thun last year's eighth-placers which were left at the post. Manager Clay Hopper, who had never finished lower than sixth in 21 campaigns until 1254, is cer tain the Beavers will cause a lot of woe around the circuit. 'The club will have a lot more power at first buse in -Ed Mickel son, whom we dratted from Slireveport of the Texas League," Hopper said. And we U be a lot luster with Artie Wilson, whom we got from Seattle 'for Rocky Krsnich and Jehosie Heard. Sam Caldcronc is down from the Mil waukee Braves to catch and will do most of it." run-liases From Montreal Those three players were ob tained after General Munuger Joe Zicgler took oftice in mid-Deecm-!r as Portland residents bought the club from Vancouver brewer George Norgan and turned the Bevos into a home-owned team. Zicgler also purchased outfield er Dick Whitman and pitcher Wal- ly Hood from Montreal ulong with outfielder Russ Sullivun, who hit .333 and clubbed 17 home runs with Little Rock of the Southern Association in 195-1. Mickelson batted .335 ut Slireve port, also hit 17 home runs and drove in 104 tallies. He is taking over the vacancy creuted when I lank Arlt, a .2G1 hitter with Port land last year, decided to hold out. Arft wound up with his out right release. "Mickelson will help us ut first even if lie has his worst year," Hopper said. Wilson's A Comer Good, grey Clay also warned Wilson, wiio hit .330 last year at Scuttle und led the I-'CL in three base hits Willi 1G, may run Eddie liusinskl right off second. liasiuski has been custodian of the middle sack at Portland for 7 1-2 seasons without too much competition but he has it now. Hopper said the gentle violinist mny be better on double plays than swift Artie but is strictly a .250 hitter and that's bad with lie new regime going for harder bi ting. Frankic Austin lias nothing to fear at shortstop though, Hopper said. He is slated fur his seventh year there as a Beaver and is the best short-fielder in the league as far as Hopper is concerned. When Krsnich went to Seattle ill the Wilson deal, third base ap parently was left in full posses sion of Don Eggert. Hopper also is del.glited with the work of rook ie Ron Jackson, who can play any infield spot and mny become a top utility man. Jackson hit .316 at Victoria of the Class A Western International League last year. Pitching Stuff ImproviMl The pitching is heller Willi the arrival of Wnlly Hood hut Hopper said the former major leaguer still must win u spol on the mound. The biggest man there seems to be l.efly Royce Lint, who had a 22-10 mark lit Port land in 10ri3 nnd then was 2-3 with the St. Louis Cardinals last year.

The other returning lettermen to the squad are Jim Crowell, Earl Corkett, Ralph Tollen and Gary Gentry. The local team will be hmderea in District play because of the short pre-season workouts in com parison to those of the valley schools, who have been holding regular practices for nearly two weeks.

Avila threatened to quit baseball last week if the Indians did not meet his terms but is believed to have settled for considerably less than the $32,500 he was demand ing.
