Yanks Set Pace But Tribe
Is Billed Team to Beat
New York, May 28 (U.PJ Unless somebody starts takinir the
Yankees seriously very soon It is going to be too late to stop
them from running away with the race.
On almost every front the consensus is that the Yankees can't
keep up their record-breaking early season pace which has been
Detter tnan any of their cele
brated championship dynasties.
Boston hi said to be the team to
beat and, despite their slow
start, Cleveland's world cham
pion Indians still have more
supporters than the Yankees.
Especially when Larry Doby
can hit home runs like a 500
footer last night in Washington.
But the Yankees have won 13
out of 15 games at home and
nine of 17 away.
Yesterday, as they won their
fourth straight, 6 to 2, over the
Tigers, lefty Tommy Bryne
struck out 12 batters, a high for
the season, and drove in four
runs with two doubles.
The Browns trimmed the Red
Sox, 8 to 4, with a 13-hit of
fensive that included a homer
by Jack Graham.
Washington won the ball game
but Doby won the cheers as the
Senators played the Indians
last night. Doby's 500-foot ho
mer cleared the right field fence
by 30 feet and landed on a
roof top a block away. That
was one of only seven hits al
lowed by Sid Hudson, however,
and the Senators won, 6 to 2.
The Philadelphia Athletics
made their seven hits count
more than the White Sox' 13
for a 8 to 4 victory.
Brooklyn made it seven wins
in nine games on its spectacular
western road trip, defeating the
Pirates, 8 to 8 by coming from
behind to score two runs in the
fifth.
The Cubs topped the Giants,
3 to 2, for the second straight
day when Bob Rush pitched
seven-hit hall.
Lefty Howie Pollet, regain
ing his one-great form, pitched
another standout game for the
Cardinals, winning 3 to 0 from
the Braves as the club scored
its first shutout of the year.
The Reds made it two straight
over the Phils, winning 3 to 2
at Cincinnati.

First Division PC Teams
Win; Bevos Lose in 13th
San Francisco, May 26 (U.B The rich got richer and the poor
got poorer in the Pacific Coast league last night.
Every team in the first division turned in a victory at the
expense of the second division
clubs, but the league-leading
Hollywood Stars had the most
trouble. They were forced to go
13 innings before they beat the
last place Portland Beavers 3-2.
The second place ban JJiego
Padres edged Los Angeles 7-6,
the Oakland Oaks took Seattle
9-2 and San Francisco throttled
Sacramento 5-1.
The Stars and the Beavers fell
back into their regular rut. ex
tra inning games that the Stars
win. Week before last the Hol
lywood club twice beat Portland
in 12-inning contests, and last
night it took an inning longer.
Incidentally, the Hollywood
edge over San Diego is exactly
the margin of those three games.
Chuck Stevens singled with
the bases loaded in the 13th to
give Hollywood the win and
Jack Salveson held his ex-team
mates to seven hits for the extra-inning
contest to rack up the
win.

Doby Smashes 500-Footer
In Washington Ball Park
Washington, May 26 VP) Cleveland's Larry Doby last
night hit one of the longest horn, runs In Washington's base
ball history.
Repeating his Yankee stadium performance of last Friday,
the Negro outfielder slammed at an Inslda, fast ball and hit
it over a sign atop Griffith stadium's right-eentertleld wall.
Veteran baseball writers who date back past the Babe Ruth
era estimated the wallop carried some 500 feet It cleared
the sign, which is 55 feet above the ground, by auuut 10 feet
It was reported later that the ball landed on a roof-top
well outside the stadium. The report came from a housewif.
who telephoned to complain that the ball hit her roof and
woke up her children.
Doby'a homer with Ken Keltner aboard supplied the only
two runs for Cleveland as the Indians dropped a 6-2 decision
to Washington.
California Ace
Gets Yankee Bid
San Francisco, May 26 W)
The University of California's
Jackie Jensen has a contract of
fer from the New York Yankees
baseball team for the 1950 sea
son. Jensen said he would reach a
decision late today.
He met yesterday with
Yankee Vice President Del
Webb and Scout Joe Devine.
Webb came to talk with Jensen
at the request of DeVine. Terms
offered Jensen were not an
nounced. Jensen was a top pitcher for
the Bears this season. When
he wasn't on the mound, he
played the outfield because of
his hitting ability. Lost year,
he was the outstanding back
field man on California's foot
ball team, which lost in the Rose
Bowl.
Ponies to Race
At Longacres as
Dispute Settled
Seattle, May 26 (A) Every

horses and it is now officially
announced that the bangtails
will gallop at Longacres this
summer.
June 25 was the starting date
set by the Washington state
horse racing commission and
President Joe Gottstein of the
Washington Jockey club last
night.
The 54-day schedule had be
come the subject of numerous
off-again-on-again switches
since Gottsteln's announcement
that he would call off the sea-
son when the commission with
held approval on certain of his
nomineas for track positions.

Skits ca-ti Scratches
Y FRID ZIMMIRMAN, Copltol Journal Sports Editor
Taylor Appears Sharp
That "Kip" Taylor, the Beavers' new football coach It a per
fectionist, a stickler for condition, will give the utmost eoniidera-
tion to the boy who really puts out, but will have little use for
the fellow who shirks his Job, were but a few of the impression
this scribe picked up during a couple of hours around the banquet
tables at Oregon State early this week. The affair, an innova
tion introduced by Coach Taylor, observed the close of the spring
training period. In dismissing tht squad for the summer, "Kip"
urged the members to "run, run, run, run, run and run soma
more" at every opportunity. Running played a prominent part
in the spring training program. Elimination of the automobile
might work into Taylor's conditioning program. We know of on
or two athletic directors who blame the motor ear for the Increased
number of knee injuries on the gridiron.
One at a Time
The Orangemen will play their games, one at a time during
the season that will open Just 16 days after the aquad gets
together Sept. 1 for the first fall workout "We will point
for nobody," said "Kip" as he clipped hia sentences in a de
cisive manner. He hastened to add that "we will constitute
a breather for nobody." . . . "Bump" Elliott, first assistant
to the head man, will prove popular with the players, no lest
than Taylor, if we are any Judge of humanity. He appear
friendly, unaffected and no doubt possesses the ability to get
the most out of his men. Taylor and Elliott will be here for
public inspection June ( during the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon.
Gill Lives Basketball
"Slats" Gill is enthusiastic concerning his pre-season basket
ball program for next December. A number of first class quints
will be brought to Corvallis while Slats will take his Beavers
on an eastern tour which includes a stop In Madison Square Gar
den. Gill is optimistic concerning the completion of the new gym.
an optimism not entirely shared by Loris Baker, Spec Keene'a
assistant who apparently has been given the Job of doins the
worrying for the entire outfit The roof of that huge structure
was about a fourth complete early in the week. Baker believes
the floor and the seats for the 10,000 spectators will be ready
for the first game, but expects the finishing touches on many of
the offices will not have been mad until early in 1950. . -
Trojans Favored
If seasonal performance Is an indication of what may hap
pen in Seattle Saturday afternoon, then the USC Trojans
should collect the larger number of points in the Pacifle Coast
conference track meet. A list of the 10 best 1540 mark
made by conference athletes in each event shows a Trojan
leading In four of the 15 events. Mel Fatton has a i.t second
mark for the century and 20.2 for the 220. John Montgom
ery's 14 foot TA In the pole vault and Jack Barnes' ( foot
high jump are tops In conference competition. Due to depth
the Trojans figure they will collect enough narks to win.
North in the Ruck
Th nnlv events not dominated by USC, UCLA and Stanford
(on paper at least) are the flat races from the 440 up through
the two mile. Joe neuoion oi nst mi a recoru oi m
quarter mile while a brother Cougar, Bill Parnell has run the 880
in 1:53.8 and 1:53.9, slightly faster than Bob Pruitt and Wally
Wilson of USC. Kaare Vefling of California nas a time ior
the mile while Bill Steed of Washington nas wneeiea in. iwa
miles in 9:32.3. Upsets ar not entirely improbable. For Instance
Dave Henthorne of Oregon has a 9.7 mark for the century.
