Rookies Shine
In Early-Season
Coast Loop Play
By UNITED PRESS
Pacific Coast League .owners
were singing "I've Got Those
Rainy Day Blues" today but
every cloud has a silver lining.
All the moguls have to do s
look at the fine crop of youngsters
being developed for fall delivery
to the majors and they can smile.
The rains came to Portland last
night for the fifth time In a week
and washed out the Beavers-San
Diego Padres contest. It was the
only game scheduled for yester
day. Last week was one of the worst
In history as far as the turn
stiles are concerned in the PCL.
San Francisco was rained out five
straight days. Portlund was four
days late getting in its opening tilt
of the season. And so It went.
The Salvation
So what are the box office boys
going to do to be saved?
Well, the Sacramento Solons
can look ahead to what pitcher
Johnny Briggs may bring them in
the fall trading marts. Johnny,
21 years old, lias won three in a
row for the Solons and already
the scouts are on his trail. He
looks like just what the doctor or
dered, '
San Diego has a couple of fine
prospects. One is Milt Smith, who
was with the club last year, but
didn't get a chance to play until
the last half of the season, when
he helped spark the Padres to the
pennant. He is 26 years old and
currently is leading the league In
hitting with a healthy .403 mark.
The otyr is Jules Beccpjer, :n
outfielder. Becquor, 24, is clouting
the ball at a .339 pace and looks
like a fine comer.
Sen! Stars
San Francisco has a couple of
youngsters who look good, too.
One Is the $60,000 bonus buby of
the Chicago White Sox, Infielder
Joe Klrrene, who is hitting ..TO.
The other is Dave Melton, former
Stanford star, who finally Is
reaching stardom. Melton is 'a
years old but many believe he
has a major league future ahead.
Seattle has come up with a fine
young pitcher in John Ol'dhum,
aged 23. He has a 3-0 record all
in relief, Los Angeles has a good
hurlor, too, George Piktuzis (2-01,
who Is Just out of the armed
forces.
Several of the young stars are
out on option, but they are going
to help at the box office later in
the season, even If they don't
bring In any cash when they uo
to the majors.
Tonight, weather permitting,
most of the lads will see action.
The schedule calls for San Fran
cisco at Oakland, Hollywood at
Los Angeles, San Diego at Seattle
and Sueramenlo at Portland.

By FRKD DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Mike Biggins has the Boston Red
Sox four positions better off than
they were a year ago today but
most of the other new managers
are finding they've got the same
old teams.
It adds up to a bitter blow for
the "baseball second - guessers
union" which contends that last
year s pilot was responsible for
everything that went wrong. And
It just could be causing some red
faces among general managers
who made the manager the "goat"
of a poor 1954 campaign.
Marty Marion of the Chicago
White Sox and Mayo Smith of the
Philadelphia Phillies are the only
other new pilots who have their
teams doing about as well as they
did in the first two weeks of last
season. Marion has the White Sox
leading tho American League just
as they did a . year ago under Paul
Richards and Smith s Phillies are
in fifth place in the National
League just as they we're on this
date last year under Stove O'Neill,
, But those who expected miracles
from Charley Dressen of the Wash
ington Senators, Bucky Harris of
the Detroit Tigers, Lou Boudreau
of the Kansas City Athletics and
Richards' Baltimore Orioles have
been rudely surprised. They'd all
gladly settle for the starts their
teams made last year.
Manager Standing
Here's how the new pilots have
fared:
Higglns: With a 7-4 record the
Red Sox are tied for second place
A year ago they had a 4-6 record
and were tied for seventh place.
Marion: The White Sox current
6-3 record and first-place standing
is equal or even slightly better
than their 7-4 mark which was
good enough for first place In 1951
Smithii The Phillies have a 6-6
current record compared to 5-6
last season but they're In the same
spot in the standings fifth,
Dressen: The Senalors were tied
for second place with a 6-4 record
a year ago. Today, they re tied
for fourth with a 5-5 mark.
Uarris: Same as Dressen
Tigers were second with 6-4 record
Inst season, now share fourth place
with Senators and 5-5 mark.
Boudreau: The Athletics actually
were tied for fourth plnce with
a 5-5 record on April 26, 1954.
They've dropped seven of 10 games
this year and are languishing in
seventh place.
Richards: A 4-7 record had the
Orioles in last place a year ago.
Today a 3-9 record has cm even
deeper In tile cellar.
Kilst Goes West
East goes'wost in tho American
League and vice versa in the Na
tional league today and tonight
in the first Intersoclional meetings
of the new campaign. The early
going found all three major con
lenders In the AL off fairly well
with the Cleveland Indians. New
York Yankees and White Sox over
.500. In Ihe National League, the
Brooklyn Dodgers and Milwaukee
Braves are off and running but
Ihe world champion New York
Giants are two games under .500.
The Yankees, who seem to have
great strength but haven't yet
really jelled, open a two-game
series with Ihe first-place While
Si in Chicago while Baltimore Is
al Detroit, Washington at Cleveland
and Boston at Kansas City in other
A L. contests. The White Sox hope
lo prove they're top caliber pen
nnnt contenders in the New York
series. The Yankees were 13-7
against them In 195-1.
In Ihe N.L.. with all games at
night, the Braves open a two-
came set with a Giant team still
shaky after its brush with disaster
in Brooklyn over the weekend.
The Finivos have mnnngrd to stay
close to tho Dodgers with a 7-3
mark while Brooklyn has run up
an 11-2 card. Other games find
Cincinnati at Brooklyn. St. Louis
at Philadelphia and Chicago at
Pittsburgh.

BEND AN EAR
By FRED WADE
Bulletin Sports Writer
Spring sports took another turn
for the worse on the local scent
with snow piling up over the pasi
few days disrupting practice
schedules and calling for more
cancellations in the schedules.
The Bend high baseball squad
lengthened their unplayed sched
ule to five straight last weekend
after skipping the North Salem
contest because of rain. Previously
the Bruins were rained out of a
series with the Sweet Home nine
and dropped one contest with the
Redmond Panthers because ot
snow.
The poor weather has held down
the local teams until the pros
pect of rematching the teams is
almost an Impossibility.
The Bend track team has Kept
pace with its schedule thus far but
if the weather continues poor the
squad will probably skip a few
of their slated contests rather than
re-enact the Madras meet
The Bend thinclads, much to
their disadvantage, seem to have a
knack of taking a wet track wher
ever they go. The Bears have run
in everything from perfect cinder
weather to rain and snow.
This weekend the Bend track-
store will be laying host at the
first Bend Invitational meet. Six
sauads have been invited, all of
which would gladly back out if the
weather remains poor.
With the current student body
elections at the 'high school the
question of leaving the municipal
swimming pool open during the
fall for the use of the gym classes
and those students who, because
if the double shifting, are out ot
school at noon, has arisen.
Thinking back on the issue, it Is
a wonder that the question has not
been presented before. The oppor
tunities that such a program offer
would be almost unlimited, and.
with the construction of the new
senior high in the direct area of the
pool it is the thought of many in
the community that next year
would be an ideal time to get
such a program underway.
