The Capital Journal, Salem. Skits and Scratches - Br Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Spurts Editor Induction Into the armed ervice of the country of athletic directors who have not advanced beyond the middle aged spread point of life, Is bringing back Into news print some of the older generation. De parture of Tex Oliver from Oregon brought letters from a few gentle men who the publio had been led to believe had retired for good from the Held of athletics. One of these, Jim Thorpe, brings to mind achievements of more than a quar ter century ago of this Indian who was one of the outstanding athletes of the century. Our apologies to Del Shroer, the fire foot five shorUlop of the Salem Senator squad. The reason his throws have not been reachinr first with a lot of ilp can be charged to a sore flipper. It's nothing but what a bit of warm weather will remedy. Horses that are favorites In the winter books are the ones to lay off of when it comes to shoving your cash through the windows. At any rate that's the conclusion one can reach by perusing 23 years of racing at Louisville, Ky. Only three times during the past 23 years has the dpenlng favorite won the derby, In 1925 he finished -12th In a field of 20 starters and In 1918 he fin ished 10th In a field of 12. Other favorites have finished from second to eighth or failed to start. Winter book favorites to win the derby since 1919, according to the records Include Morvlcti In 1922, Relgh Count In 192S and Gallant Fox In 1630. Last years favorite at 3-1, Our Boots, finished eighth. Whlrlaway, the winner, opened at 8-1 and closed at 3-1 In the winter books, ' , One of the finest catches of trout to be brought to the city alnce the opening of the present season was snaked out of Kllek- i Itat lake by H. S. Carter, pho tographer and gentleman farm er of the Rosedalo district. Klickitat lake Is a hard-to-reach body of water In the Coast range and while Carter earn back with the fish, he had to take time out to extricate his car from the two ruts through the hills which are improperly termed ft road. Mike Stelnbock; another of the first-day fishermen, drove a lot farther and came back . with less. He visited Sluslaw first and found every rock between the divide and Florence occupied. A six mile hike up Smith river to where bettor fishing conditions were reported didn't appeal to Mike so he turned around and came home with his high forehead nicely burned. Winter has come and gone while spring Is well advanced but the Portland Beavers are right where they were when operations in the Coast league ceased last fall In the cellar. They will be "welcomed home" tonight at the Vaughn street park and the fans In the bleachers may be expected to be a bit con fused as to whether the 1941 sea son Is still in effect. "How could our Beavers fall so low In such a short space of time?" Probably the principal reason John Warren wasn't named to take over the head football coaching Job at Oregon before was the fact they were working down through the list In alphabetical order. John was un fortunate enough to be at the tall end of the list. We venture the opinion that what few Wcbfoota are left for gridiron campaigning when the army, navy and the marines get through calling the roll, will be In for the most severe conditioning they have ever experienced. If they survive the routine Honest John will set up for them they most assured ly will bo In condition lor any branch of the armed services. May be he has mellowed a bit with the years, but Warren, while coaching at Astoria and In his first years as head of the yearlings at Oregon ran the boys until their tongues Room and Board .

War Holds Slaughters Bv William Seattle, April 21 (fP) Yesterday they. sold the pelt of Al the Seal; but Japan will have to wait a while lor her J5 per cent of the proceeds or take it in bombs. Al is more exact ly Alescanus, the fur seal; and the truth Is that he may be part Jap anese. In St. Louis yesterday, the Uni ted States government wildlife ser vice auctioned pelts taken by gov- eminent hunters In the Prlbliof is lands last summer. The pelts, which Alescanus relatives formerly oc cupied, brought prices of $28 and up. But thereby hangs a tale which goes back a ways. Sealing in the Prlbliof Islands was virtually unre stricted In the early days of Uni ted States' control over Alaska. The fur seals, which Inhabited the rocky islands by the millions, staggered under the blows of the Island seal ers. So the United States signed treaty. It- provided that pelagic sealing should be outlawed, that the United States should kill selected year-old males each summer In the United States owned Prlbllofs, and that the United States government should get 70 per cent of the pro ceeds, Canada and Japan each 15 per cent. ' The herd Increased annually, Each year, while they migrated from the coast of California to the Alas kan Islands, United States coast guard cutters went along, In an official statement, Japanese scientists conveniently declared that not all the Prlbliof herd migrated south. Some of them, said the Tokyo professors, went to Japan and ate Japanese fish all winter. The Japanese government was de- lighter. The 1915 treaty, It said, was unfair. Just a little more than a year ago, It served official no tice of abrogation. Japanese pe lagic sealing boats were prepared to sail, This spring would have been the bad season. There seemed to be no great diplomatic hope of prevent ing the slaughter, although the Uni ted States wildlife service had pre pared a scientific expedition which expected to disprove the Japanese theory about where seals go when they're not home. The proof was to be involved and would have taken several years to prepare. The expedition would have sailed last December 7 from Seattle. Only It did not. were sticking out a foot.

They will Indulge In a bit of "twilight" baseball Wednesday evening at Geo. E. Wa ters park when they collide with Coach Spec Keene's Bearcats at 7:30. The 'Cats have provided a lot of spring training for the opposi tion this year, getting little else but experience out of the efforts. But, while they have been consist ent in their losing, with few ex ceptions their defeats have been by narrow margins. The Senators shoved a couple of hopeful pitchers onto the mound yesterday afternoon against the state prison nine and came out of the session oh the short end of a 19-5 score. Howard and Neubauer did the chicking for the Solons. The former asked for a workout and mast assuredly got it as well as his mates who were kept busy shagging balls all over the park.

Dodgers and Sox Provide 2 Questions By Georre Klrksey New York, April 21 U.R Along the baseball front today the two Important questions under discus sion were 1. Are the Brooklyn Dodgers more formidable than rated? 2. Can the Boston Red Sox give the Yankees ft battle? After a week of play, the Dodgers are riding the National league crest again, and their ace of aces, Whit Wyatt, hasn't been out of the start er's gate, Meantime, the Dodgers are rock ing along lit ft merry .714 clip. True they have been bowling over, sec ond division opposition, the Giants, Phils and Braves, but they are put ting the pressure on the Cardinals, Reds and other pretenders early. The Red Sox threw ft fright into the Yanks over the week-end by taking a series from the champions at Yankee ' stadium. They had six pitchers in a row go the route al most unheard of for the Red Sox but yesterday Joe Dobson, who hurl ed a six-hitter In his first start, was plastered out of the box by the supposedly weak-hitting Senators'. Nevertheless, the Red Sox still lead the league and have shown enough all-around strength to make Manager Joe McCarthy consider shaking up the Yankee lineup. Jack Wilson, an old Red Sox hand, exacted revenge on his former teammates yesterday when he hurl ed Washington to a 10-4 triumph over Boston. Rookie Harry Sketch ley's first Inning double with two mates on enabled the White Sox to defeat the Tigers 3-1. Cleveland rode to ft 4-3 victory over the Browns on the hitting of Rookie outfielder oris Hockett, who singled, doubled and tripled. With Kirby Hlgbe winning his first game, the Dodgers thumped the Braves 9 to 2. Hlgbe gave up seven hits. I Scoring six runs In the eighth off Max Butcher and Hank Gornicki, the Chicago Cubs waylaid the Pir ates, 8-2.

Hopes and Rookies For Spokane Champs By Jack Ifewins Spokane, April 21 (IP) The champs are going into the 1942 Western International league baseball season with a hatful of hopes and a roster full of rookies. The Spokane In dians sold the majority 01 their talent to Portland's Coast league Beavers before the first yawn of spring, retaining only their "grand old 'man," a youthful first base man, a few chuckers, a roly-poly catcher and Manager Ray Jacobs. The grand old man Isn't old at all, but Dwight Aden (he's 27) has been In the league since Its inception and can lay ft strong claim to seniority rights. The fleet, Ilosebnll Scores (Br th.

Ulbrickson dack in the 1920-30 decade? Nope. Man for man they may be about the same. But aslc ulbrickson or that sage of rowing, George Pocock, the shell builder, and they'll tell you the difference is In advanced rowing technique and equipment. That accounts for Washington shattering three records In lacing California here last Saturday. And two of the losing Bear crews also undershot the old marks. . The records existing up to Sat urday were set on the old Leschl Madison park course which hasn't been rowed since 1930. That's why a 20-year-old record was on the books, as well as a couple 14 years old. There have been plenty of refine ments in shell construction during the past 12 years and undoubtedly If the old-timers had the same equipment they might have been turning In better times in the pre depression days. And Ulbrickson has added some new wrinkles In ap plication of body power which oars men of his time didn't know about. steady-hitting centerfielder .is the nucleus of the Tribe's offensive punch. " The catcher is Kenny Myers, slow afoot but excellent on defense and dangerous at bat. Making the catching assignment a family af fair is ' Ernie Polster, a rangy youth who is Myers' cousin. Young Vic Buccola rates as a vet eran despite his 18 years and moves Into the first string first base spot. He's built on the skinny lines of Aden and hits much like him, rap ping the ball to left or center from the left side of the plate. . A. Murray O'Plynne, the clowning Irishman, Bill Lanning and Damon Hayes, all- right handerx, are the mound veterans. Again the In dians open with only one southpaw, a lad named Jerry North, who took Washington State into camp April 15. A promising right-hander Is Jimmy Hicks, an Ellensburg boy with lots of power. 'Around the horn from first the Infield Is all rookie. Sid Buckman, a Los Angeleno, is at second; Ed die Pullins, an Arizona boy, at short, and Red Fitzpatrlck, a 200 pound speedball, at third. Skip Ev art, a veteran, also may be back for the third-base spot. Aden, at center, is flanked by Gordy Cockroft in left field and Bob Daley in right. Daley, biggest man on a big squad, weighs 210 pounds. The Indians open April 35 against Vancouver and play 12 games be fore hitting the road. KENTUCKY'S, Ft Tkc trisitraatl railditu of Jimel E.

Warren Gels Head Coaching Job at Oregon Eugene, Ore., April 21 WV-John Warren, ft local boy who made good, loaay 100a over uio juu v wuiu,,. the University of Oregon football souad. , His tenure, the Oregon Athletio board hopes, win be longer, than the , last mentor's, which was ta hours. The last one was Vaughn Corley, Oregon line coach, who was elevated when Head Coach Gerald "Tex" Ol iver was commissioned In the navy, but who resigned within a few days to accept ft navy commission himself. Warren Is a safer bet to .tick around. He tried to enlist, but the navy turned him down because of his avoirdupois. That is considered break for Oregon football. Warren, an Ore gon graduate who made an Im pressive record coaching an Oregon high school and the university freshmen, was selected by the ath letic board last night from a string of candidates including Jim Thorpe, famed Indian athlete, and Claude "Tiny" Thornhlll, former Stanford i coach. Warren was seven years at As toria, Ore., high school, and his football teams there won 58 of 70 games, going undefeated In three seasons. In seven years as fresh man coach here, his teams have won 18, lost 10 and tied 3. Warren, Incidentally, has an ev en more impressive record at bas ketball, and at the rate coaches are going off to the armed forces, his hoop knowledge . might come In handy. His Astoria basketball teams won 304 of 340 games and his Ore gon frosh teams S3 of 111 games. The football team's spring prac tice, Interrupted by the rapid change of coaches, was resumed today ,at Warren's call.
