f Yankees Face Big Test In West Against Reds 'Br the Aaaoriatrd PrtMl The baseball spotlight was focused today on the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds as the first set of lntersectional clashes in the majors got under way. Having demonstrated, rather amazingly, their ability to cope with their associates in the eastern half of the American league, the surprising Yankees now face their big test in the west. Although they received rough treatment by Boston in their 11-2 defeat Sunday, Casey Sten gel's men took 10 out of 13 from the east, and seven out of tight In the stadium. That showing gave them a two-game bulge on the rest of the field. More Important, how ever, are their two-and-a-half nd three-and-a-half game leads over Cleveland and Boston, the teams generally figured to battle for the flag. Whether the Yankees can do as well on the road as they did t horn remains to be seen. If they can return home In first place after a dozen tilts on for eign fields, then you can stamp them as definite pennant threats The Stenglemen open today in fft. Louis, where they face the Browns twice. '' The big surprise In the Na tional league has been furnished by Bucky Walters' Reds. A last place choice by nearly every ex pert in the pre-season pool, the Reds have caused a lot of red faces by winning seven of their first 12 games. That put them In second place, only a game be hind the pace-setting Boston Braves. The Reds, with their pitching ace, Ewell Blackwell, still on the sidelines, have combined good pitching by veterans Ken Raf fensberger and Johnny Vander Meer and Timely hitting by Johnny Wyrostek and Red Stall- cup, to win a majority of their games. The Ohioans Inaugurate a three-game series in Brooklyn today, and followed up with two In Boston four in Philadelphia and two in New York.

The victory allowed the Hol lywood Stars, who were beaten by Seattle, 3-2, to remain in first place. In the other game of the night Los Angeles edged Sacra mento, 4-3. Oakland and Port land were idle, playing a twin bill today. Among the scoring in the San Diego-San Francisco tilts were home runs by Dino Restelli in the 8th for the Seals and Dain Clay's circle smash in the ninth to deadlock the score. Singles by Frank Shofner, Leroy Jarvis and Pitcher Jack Brewer salted the game away in the 13th. Big Heinz Becker.

The re turn of Japan and Germany to Olympic competition was made possible today by the interna tional Olympic committee. Following a lengthy discus sion yesterday, the IOC's execu tive committee recommended that "the international sports federations re-admit the nation al federations of Japan" because it believed that Japan can now be considered a nation. The group also decided that Germany should be accorded the same privilege once a Ger man state Is formed. l4its ni Scratches BY FRED ZIMMERMAN, Copital Journal Sports Editor Yellowtail Fishing Fishing. Jike politics, makes there is the recent expedition Maple and Leo Harris. Maple is an OSC graduate, charter mem ber of the "Buck a Month" club and a staunch supporter of Beaver activities. Harris is none other than the athletic di rector for the University of Oregon. They became well ac quainted last summer when they found themselves on the shores of the same lake in British Columbia. Returning home after three weeks on the road the fishing, particularly for yellowtail off the coast of Lower Cali fornia and Mexico.

Tht highway south of the border Is paved - much of the way and the hard surfacing will be complete by mid-summer. People are friendly and accommodations are excellent and reasonable. An overnight fishing expedition out of San Diego with $9.25 being the entire cost per individual, including a berth, resulted in Harris landing three out of four yellow tail while Maple's record was one for four.

When he joined the Solons in 1947 of a number of years spent in been captured on Wake island in suspect it now but Sporer's weight dropped to the point where he was scarcely large enough to day. His early schooling was the South Fork of the Umpqua river. He attended a number of high schools, including Roseburg and Lincoln of Portland be fore joining a construction crew Had Baseball Ideas Prior to drparture for the Pacific, Sporer says he had "ideas" concerning a profetaional baseball career but didn't have an opportunity to commit himself until he finished a tour of prison ramps. Including Luzon, Fusan, Korea, Shang hai, Peking and Japan. Pestered by wildness during his first two seasons, the big right hander had virtually decided to hang up his glove at the close of last year. But he changed his mind this spring, a change that pleased Business Man ager George Emigh. During the off season Sporer kept In condition by reason of his employment with the sawmill division of the Oregon Pulp and Paper company. His work there was pleasant and he speaks highly of the concern. The feeling apparently was mutual for the company wants him to return. The Sporers have a year-old son, Dennis Ray. Impact of Television Broadcasting and televising activities continue to create prob lems for public schools and the question came in for considerable discussion during a sectional conference of the National basket ball committee held in Seattle. The conclusion was reached that it will be desirable to experiment during the next year or two with controlled television with the understanding that the right to televise is granted on condition that the right will be limited or rescinded if tournament admissions are reduced to the point where they do not draw capacity crowds. It was pointed out that broadcasting and televising have different factors than those found In reports by newspapers. "The newspapers contain ac counts of preliminary activities many weeks in advance of the tournament," the conferees pointed out. "Because of this, they tend to increase attendance. In the case of broadcasting or tele vision, the account of the game Is simultaneous with the activity, and there is much less benefit as far as attendance is concerned.'' It was generally agreed that there should be some fee for broad casting or televising." 9 E9l9t W 9f,9BW 9SV 4t fcuftr It I I J Owttf 4 Co. 4Mi9)4 tv ( 04 my Cm., to!. Wni-)t ftmrjf !'
