THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. ORECiiN StLOUIS CARDINALS LOOK TOWARD DEAN BROTHERS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1934 DIZZY AND PAUL FIX GOALS AT 20 WINS EACH Bradenton, Fla., March 31 (P) The Dean boys of Oklahoma have done their best this spring to re lieve Prank Prisch of worry about how far his pitching staff will carry the St. Louis Cardinals in this year's National kague pennant race. Frisch has some pretty fair fling ers on his staff otherwise, including Wild Bill Hallahan. Jesse Haines. Tex Carleton, Bill Walker and the obiquitous Burleieh Grimes, but the brothers Dean, Dizzy and Paul, have separately and collectively express ed an entire willinpnpss to shoulder the main burden. Twenty victories apiece is the minimum they have t for 1934. In fact, Paul, the fam ily's freshman who won 22 for Co lumbus last year, assured Branch Rickey he would turn in 25 tri umphs Just to prove he has more tuft than his brother. Even if Paul only does half as well as he predicts, the Cardinal will be that much better fortified to challenge the Giants and seek their fifth pennant in nine years. Outside of their mound stiff, the Cardinals have a number of star players but It Is a question whether they have the right balance and enough batting punch. The trade of Jimmy Wilson to the Phillies for big Vinnl Davis, who hit, .349 last year, Increases the batting power but Wilson's skillful backs topping will be missed. Several new combinations have been tried and recruits tested, but the infield swins certain to start the season with Jim Collins at first. Manager Frisch In the keystone siwt, Leo Durocher, bnseball's pre mier "Jockey" at short and the acrobatic Pepper Martin on third The Cardinals who lost a great shortstop when Charley Gelbert filled a leg with buckshot, earnest ly sought Dirlc Birtell of the Phil lies, and stitl have hopes of adding stremth to the infield. Burgess Whitehead, Columbus recruit and "Pat" Cawford will be reserves. ALBANY TO PLACE STRONG BALL CLUB Albany Albany will put one of (he best baseball teams on the field this year in many years.

Yankees Keep American Leaguers Close Up In "Grapefruit" Circuit New York. March 21 (P) If it weren't for the New York Yankees, the American league wouldn't even be a close second to the National in early returns from the annual gmpeiruit league" competition. Twelve inter-league contests have been played so far and the Ameri can leacuers trail bv a margin of only two games, seven to five. The ankles, picking on the Boston Braves, have won four of their five victories. The other was chalked up to the credit of the Philadelphia Athlettes who were beaten in five other jousts with National league outfits. Setting the inter-lengue pace for John Heydler's loop are the world champion New York Giants and the Chicapo Cubs. The Cubs hove a perfect record apainst the Ameri can league with two successive tri umphs over their city rivals, the White Sox, while the Giants have won four and lost one. The Brook lyn Dodders earned the seventh Na tional league victory, handing the A's one of their set-backs. The Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Washington Senators alone have escaped defeat so far. Joe McCarthy's Pusileers have won four in a row, all from the Braves, 'ine Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tig ers In the only game they have played so far. Washington hasn't even begun Its exhibition schedule. TASTES OF NAZI LEADERS DIFFER Berlin (U Radically different In temperament, sometimes differing in points of view. Chancellor Adolf Hilter and Prussian Premier Her mann Goering also have divergent tastes In hobbies. Goering collects Hons. Hilter. on the other hand, collects plants. About a year ago, Goering re ceived a lion cub from the Leipzig zoo. Caesar, as It -was called, was as amiable as It was hungry; It accompanied its master everywhere and behaved excellently. Later, how ever, Caesar became more and more unsatisfactory as a pet. He grew dlsquietingly, and his gentle purr save way to sinister growls. All attempts at "gleichschalting" Caesar proved futile, and so he had to be given up. He was sent back to the Leipzig zoo. The boo. however, happened to have another lion cub available when Caesar was returned and promptly offered It to Goering a successor. Hiker's only pride as a collector, on the other hand, seems to be his Alpine garden at Obersalzberg, near Berchtcsgaden. Whenever he con escape from Berlin, he goes up to his garden and anxiously inquires whether the plants are blooming. His Bardner is often worried about securing plants In blossom. He is corresponding with all bo tanical gardens In Germany, al ways seeding plants blooming at unusual times. The botanical gardens, of course, gladly offer their rarest specimens for the Chancellor's garden, which in the course of time has developed into a valuable collection of exotic flowers. Phone 9144 Skits and Scratches BY FRED ZIMMERMAN Capital Journal Sport Editor Of the three officials who will toss the ball at center, call the fouls and otherwise direct play dur ing the 26 games of the 15th an nual basketball tournament, one will be new to a majority of the fans. He Is Harry Leedtng, who for several years has occupied a bench in the press section covering the gomes for the Oregon Journal. Leeding has had considerable ex perience on the court In Portland and In eastern Oregon. The other officials will be the veteran Ralph Coleman and the dapper Emil Pi luso. Players, coaches and fans should have little to cry about from this group. If negotiations now under way by Coach "Spec'' Keene axe pushed through to a successful conclusion, Salem will have an opportunity during the spring of seeing the Portland Ducks In action without the necessity of traveling to the me. tropolis, "Spec" has written Presi dent Tom Turner of the Ducks sug gesting that he bring his team to Salem on his way north for a clash with the Willamette diamond crew. Several years ago Portland came to Salem at least once during each season for a gome with the local town club. No doubt the matter can be arranged. Salem fans have been generous In their support of the Portland team, many of them going to Portland each week to watch the Ducks perform. It would be no more than is fair for President Turner to bring them to the capital city again. Willamette will have an excep tionally fine football schedule next fall, according to announcement of Coach Keene who states with the exception of a contest with Colum-, bia, all contracts have been signed. The Bearcats, will enjoy two nice road tripsone to San Jose for a mix with the San Jose Teachers, November 10, and another to Spo kane, November 17 where they will play Gonzaga. The season opens at Corvallis, September 22 against Oregon State. The balance of the games will be plavcd on Sweet land field Albany.

Albert Luuki- PAYNE SCORES KO OVER LIGHTWEIGHT Seattle. March 21 P) Pacific northwest lightweight boxers have n't been able to do anything about it yet, and they won't at the rate they are going. About two months ago Cecil Payne came to Seattle from Louisville, Ky to test out Henry Woods, Yakima negro flash, and since then north west battlers have failed In their efforts to send him back home. Payne last night knocked out Er nie Cavelli, Walla Walla and Port land lightweight in the second of a scheduled 10 round bout, to score his fourth victory in Seattle. He previously whipped Woods twice, and Al Lewis, Seattle negro, once The Kentuckian knocked Cavelli down for a nine-count in the first and then finished the fight with a left to the chin. Lewis, fighting In the welter weight class, scored a decision over Leonard Bennett, of Seattle and De troit, In six rounds; Baby Tiger Flowers, San Francisco negro, won over Roy Ockley, Portland light weight; Frank Wallulis, Roslyn hea vyweight, knocked out Claude Da vis, Belllngham In the second of a scheduled four round bout, and Johnny Foster of Vancouver, B.

This sum, the school ooarci says, is for placing the field in first class condition, Including the In stallation of bleachers, repair of fences and other miscellaneous It ems. Since the Elks profess their treasury is entirely empty, they hardly see how they can meet the demands of the board. The Senat ors' arrangements with the Salem school board appears to be a fair way of handling the situation. Here the club pays 12 percent of tne net receipt for the use of Olinger field.

With Referee Elliott standing for virtually everything except Reed's endeavor to escape punishment by crawling under the arena, the blood lusty fans enjoyed the proceedings to the limit. As an added attraction Reed and El liott engaged In a little side show performance of their own follow ing the performance In the big tent. Jack Curtissand "Sneeze" Achiu put on a fast clever exhibition with the former winning the second and third falls after the Oriental had captured the first.
