First Week PCL Play
Ends; Beavers Fifth
Rip Collins' hustling San Diego Padres ruled (he Pacific Coast
league roost today after an opening week replete with extra
Inning thrillers, some hefty slugging, occasional fancy flinging
and warming the hearts of the club owners healthy attendance.
Supplying most of the early season fireworks, the Padres ran up
six straight victories before
58 Qualify
For Tourney
When the records were check
ed late Sunday afternoon, 58
persons had turned in qualifying
scores in connection with the
Salem Elks club Mid-Willamette
valley tournament. It is expect
ed the list will be more than
doubled by the evening of April
13, the deadline established for
qualifying. Ned Ingram and
Glen Lengren with gross scores
of 72 each were low for the first
week. Floyd Baxter posted a 73
and Tom Wise fired a 78.
Jack Brande of Lebanon, de
fending champion, who does not
need to qualify for the tourna
ment, toured the Salem Golf
club course over the week-end
by way of sharpening his strokes
and turned in a card of 73.
At the close of next Sunday
the contenders will be bracket
ed according to their qualifying
scores and the battle for the
various trophies will be on.
The week-end sweepstakes
sponsored by the men's club,
found Bunny Bennett leading
the list with a 70. .Ned Ingram
scored a 72 and Bill Schafer a
74. The affair was carried over
until next week-end.
Final Ruling:
Richards Won
Bobby Richards defeated
Snooks Lacey last Wednesday
night and therefore Is entitled
to take over Laccy's claim as
featherweight champion of
the northwest. When Judge
Harry V, Collins rechecked
his scorecard that gave the
battle to Lacey, in his opinion,
it was thought possible that
the champion had retained his
crown. However, it develop
ed that Judge Frank Saunders
had given eight rounds to
Richards, six to Lacey, with
one unscored. Previously it
had been announced that he
had tallied six for Lacey, six
for Richards, with three even.
Announcer Harry Levy re
ported he had kept Saunders'
scoring, as well as that of Ref
eree Packey McFarland and
they showed conclusively
that both had voted for Rich
ards. Collins had merely turn
ed in a slip with the word
; "Lacey" written on It, retain
ing his scoreboard. ..........

Activity in
Solon Camp
Medford, April 7 (Special)
Although virtually all activity
was suspended because of the
non-cooperative attitude of the
weather man, Manager Jack
Wilson's hopes for a successful
Salem Senator season rose a bit
by reason of the arrival of Mel
Nunes, inficlder, and Pitcher
Vince Lazor. Both are from the
Portland club.
Cold rains have kept the
squad inactive much of the time
since they established camp
here in late March.
All three games scheduled
with Oregon State college and
the doubleheader with the Uni
versity of Portland were washed
out.
The squad is scheduled to re
turn to Salem April 14 and
Manager Wilson is praying for
warm weather for this week
since his athletes are badly in
need of long hours of diamond
toil.

Moose Clabaugh, gallon-sized Pacific Coast league veteran out
fielder, dropped in on the Salem baseball team at the Senators'
Medford training camD last week and hurled for a battine uractice
session. . . . Lippy Leo Durocher is going into the movies. Hej
is to play the number two role in a forthcoming movie, ".750
Smith," which features Eddie Bracken and the appearance of
every top sports writer and' newspaper columnist in Manhattan.
Bill Stern will do the narrating for the film, which involves the
case history of a young man named Smith (Eddie Bracken) who
joins the Dodgers destined to pound out a mighty .750 swat figure.
Durocher plays the true-to-life part of Dodger manager. . . .
Quite a heavy response to Coach Lon Stiner's call for spring
football practice at Oregon State college (109 aspirants reported),
but minus from the group is Dick Gray, the "Gray Ghost'' of the
1945 Freshmen squad who expects to join the varsity this year.
A knee injury is keeping Gray on the sidelines.
More 'Sittings'
The Bremerton Bluejackets will have "one of the best infield:
in the (Western International) league" if current beliefs of
'Jacket Manager Alan Strange are correct. . . . Milt Cadiuha, star
Spokane Indian chucker in the 1946 WIL campaign, who was re
leased by Owner Hollywood when he broke his pitching arm in
a winter accident, may attempt a comeback with the Indians this
season. . . . Brooklyn Dodger Boss Branch Rickey, still keeps one
eye on Montreal's Negro star, Jackie Robinson, and has suggested
that Robinson be returned to first base. Rickey probably feels
that Robinson's best chance to become a full-fledged Dodger is
in the role of first sacker. ... Of all the shifts that have been
employed in attempts to halt the boom of Ted Williams' Boston
Red Sox bat, the strangest was unleashed by the Dallas club of the
Texas league in a recent spring training game. As Williams came
to the plate for the first lime, all the Dallas fielders except the
battery trotted into right field, jumped into the bleachers and
parked themselves in the scats. After several minutes of no
action, the Dallas team ran back on to the field.
Rocha Hard on Records
When Ephriam "Red" Rocha, Oregon State's scintillating 6
foot 8-inch all-Coast basketball center, started breaking Northern
division Pacific Coast conference records, he didn't stop halfway.
After climaxing a brilliant three year Beaver career with a great
1947 season, Mr. Rocha holds every league individual scoring
mark except one. Only the 253-points-in-one-season mark sel
by Vince Hanson in 1945 stands intact after Rocha's record-shattering
three-year, performance with OSC. Among marks now
possessed by the lanky basketeer from Hilo, Hawaii, is the three
year grand total of 636 points, and the single game record of 38
points.
