The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Thursday, March 21, 1940 St. Louis Browns Looking Ahead to Better Play Six 4 .Mr fi5 - Archie San Itomanl didn't win the Baxter mile but he provid ed the tip which kept the other contestants pounding the boards at & strenuous rate. Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal 6port Writer Why all the worrying about what the Yankees will do In the American league during the coming season? It Is obvious what will occur they will go ahead and win the American league pennant In their usual man ner and then pick off the National circuit champs In the world "ser ious." It would seem good strategy for the other seven clubs of the American circuit to forget the Yanks and their superior ways; Just sort of Ignore them. Oh, of course, they would have to meet them during the season. But why not concede the New Yorkers the championship at the outset? Then they could con centrate on second place. There might be some fun In that. At least the outcome might be In doubt for a couple of months. Just by way of comparison of the strength of the illumination being Installed at George E. Wa ters ball park, the contractor claims It will be 30 per cent stronger than McGinnis field at SHvcrton, They really have a well lighted field at SHvcrton, ; ao the Illumination out on South ' 25lli street will really knock your eye out. And what about Vaughn street, Portland 7 Well, really, the base umpires will have to be provided with a lantern to flee what is happening on the var ious sacks. What about Salem high's basket ball prospects for next year? We know of several communities throughout the state which are ex tremely Interested in the material Coach Harold Hauk will find when he Issues the call next December. In the first place he loses Russ Sat ter, all-state center; Scotty Scbern. all-state forward of a year ago; Don Barnick, a cracking good guard; Bob McKee, a forward who found him self In the championship game; Red Kernes, Deryl Mason and Don Harms, all capable replacements. All good men and all going the way of all youngsters who are good stud ents with diplomas under their arms. That's a lot of good news for the envious spots scattered about the state. But the rest of the story Is not quite as cheerful for those who would see the Vikings deposed and placed in exile on an Island so far from a basketball court thev would be greybeards before they could get DacK in circulation. In the first plaoe, there Is Ed die Salstrnm, who, during the regular season, specialized In a shot from the side which was al most 100 percent perfect. Ed ills didn't ace much action In the state tournament, but with a bit mom seasoning under pressure he should look good on any man's ball club. He has another year. Then there Is Bud Coons, a brother of Don, who has two years to go. He broke Into a guard position In his sophomore year, after having learned his baskr 'I under Coach Frank brow -f l'urrbh. We do not hesllale In making the assertion that Bud will make an all-state berth for himself hrfore he gra duates, tlf this year's "11" string, Don Ilonrr, Joe llowprsox, Hob Irish, Warren Ling, rtnb Srdrr trom. Rollle llaug, Don Culler and Urn Gilford, will all compel attention from Coach Hank. Coming up from Leslie Junior hljh school Is a young fellow whom Coarh llauk says "cannot miss" Wally (irmmrll ... if those communities which break Inlo a fever every time the Vik ings win a championship would establish a program of basketball similar to the one In effect here they would get much farther with less strain on their vocal chords and their blood pressure.

Bass welgh- L I'm ;V II i I i ,. ' ,', Balance and Experience fo Be Big Help San Antonio, Tex., March Jl (U.PJ Time) still Is a great healer, so once again the St. Louis Browns are looking ahead to bigger things after years of failure. And for a club vrtilch was licked 111 times last year for a new St. Louis low, the Browns are mighty chipper. More outfield strength, a better balanced and more experienced set of pitchers and a new shortstop have Manager Fred Haney talking in positive terms about finishing no worse than In front of the Washing ton Senators and Philadelphia Ath letics. "We've got more flexibility and better balance all around," says Haney, who knows he must show real Improvement this trip or reach for his hat. "It's still an 'If club with a capital I, but the way the fellows are hustling this spring, I figure we ought to wind up sixth or better. "Last spring we started off with only two pitchers who had actually won four or five ball games In the major leagues Buck Newsom and Howard Milts. Although Newsom's gone, we have several men who've shown they can win In the majors Elden Auker, Vernon Kennedy, Milts, Roxle Lawson, Bob Harris, John ny Whitehead, Jack Wade and Jackie Kramer." Alan Strange, Seattle's star short stop, who was caught In the draft by the Browns last fall, Is being counted upon to tighten up the right infield zone and ease the pitcher's load. A classy fielder and a good hustler, Strange has only to show he can hit American league pitch ing better than he could for Man ager Rogers Homsby In his first time up several seasons ago. Last year he hit .333 on the coast. Webfoots Favored Through Graduation By Fred Hampson (Auoclftted Prl Writer) Dick Strlte, who keeps his eye on University of Oregon teams for the Eugene Register Guard, figures that the Web foots will get off easier at the hands of graduation this year wian any ouier woranem cuvisionw basketball team, The champion Oregon Staters lose Al Hunter, Frank Mandlc and Tony Romano, or three-fifths of the starting line-up. Washington State must let go of Its co-captatns, Jack Jennings and Bill Chase, starters and backlogs of Cougar strength, Washington surrenders Bob Dorr, Dick Izzard, Bill McDonald and Hal Hollywood Plans Held Up by Court Hollywood, March 21 (P) A threat of City Attorney R. V. Chese- bro to seek abatement of Gllmore Field as a public nuisance clouded today plans of the Hollywood club of the Pacific coast baseball league to open Its 1040 season with Seattle March 30. Chesebro said persons living near tile field, which Is on a "county is land" surrounded by city property, had complained about excessive noise and Intense lighting- at base ball games, midget auto races, soft ball and other contests. He added: I am willing to meet owners of the island half way. If they don't show that they Intend to comply with our suggestions we will have to go Into court." It was understood owners of Oil- more island would be asked to con sent to annexation by the city. O'Doul Pitchers Hit Hard, Often (Br th United Prps Yountsvlile, Collf.. March 21 CUB Having last another game to Oak land, 12-6, Manager Lefty O'Doul dobnted today whether to leave his pitchers at the Old Soldiers' home here. "Old Pard" Ballou gave up five nins and five hits; Charley Schanz two runs and six hits, to the Acorns, but their Infield was as leaky as a sieve. The Seals rest to day for their Friday game with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Mem bers of the Hubbard team are James Budreau, Robert Moon. Richards Carskurdon and Jlmmle Loop. Ing from four to five pounds have been caught, while the small mouth bass seems unusually plentiful. Fiv fishing is just beginning. Quarterfinals, National AAU Basket Diamond Prospects Good at Hubbard , Hubbard Twenty-six boys are out for baseball at Hub bard high school and according to Coach Pat Beal the pros pects for the season look good, with the exception of a lack of experienced pitchers. All other po- sltlons can be filled with boys with at least one year experience. The only player on the team with pitching experience Is Leonard Da vis who had some experience last year. Others who may try out on the mound are Don Lemen. John Blzon, Lloyd Miller, Walter Lowrle, Art Paris and LaVerne Vredenburg. The tentative lineup for infield Is: Don Lemen, catcher, a one year man; John 'Blzon, first base, one year; Walter Blzon, second base, three years; Verle Hershberger, third base, two years; and Kenneth Lemen, shortstop, three years.

Schlictlng, a terrific drain on team that wasn't any too good at best. Idaho, a squad that never figured in titular reckonings after the first four games, loses Roy Ramcy and Bill English. Oregon's losses include John Dick, Matt Pavalunas and Ted Sarpola Of the three, Dick was the only first stringer from start to finish. Pava lunas and Sarpola, understudies of the tall-fir five of national cham pionship fame, were regulars during the road trip east- but during most of the heavy campaigning In the Northern division they were again understudies. Thus from starting line-ups, Strlte points out, Oregon loses only one to tnree lor O.S.C. and Washington, two for Idaho and W.S.O. Among the Oregon frosh, Strlte sees five prospective var sity recruits. He thinks Taylor, a steady scorer among the Ducklings, at first glance looks nearest to varsity calibre. Bor revlk, forward, may turn out to be the best of this year's year ling crop. Sldeslnger, Kirsch, Tuttle and Reynolds are the other newcomers worth watch ing. It Is said the AUierton fumiga tion In the Pacific coast confer ence is causing the colleges to study tne scholastic records of prospec tive athletes much closer. A letter from a coach to a "field man" among the alumni illustrates the emphasis on I. Q.: . . . with this new set-up it's going to be impossible to waste money. You can advise any boy who in your Judgment is good enough for the coast conference to get in contact with us here, because we cannot come to him . . . and let's make sure they are going to make eligibility. We can't afford poor students.'1 Independence Dr. R. F.

Palrang said Strader had request ed Kordick's release, and "under the circumstances it was the only fair thing to do. After all, Kordick Is a graduate of St. Mary's and his family and other ties are on the west coast." Kordick now Is coach at Central high school, Los Angeles. Palrang explained that St. Mary's ottered Kordick a longer contract than he could have received at Creighton.

Also on deck Is a little college team that has been beaten quite few times this season and must be a little surprised to be this far along Idaho university, southern branch, from Pocatello. The luck of the draw, plus a couple of unforeseen developments, sends the Nuggets against the collegians at 9 p.m., M.S.T. The Seattle quintet defeated the Salt Lake City Eckers, made up for mer University of Utah players, 48 35, last night.
