Indians Think
Yanks Will Stage Flag Race
By GAYLE TALBOT
Tucson, Aris. W Far from
feeling that they face any new
danger from the Chicago White
Sox since the latter's acquisition
of Ferris Fain during the win
ter, the Cleveland Indians are
convinced the coming American
League race will prove even
more strictly a two-club duel be
tween them and the Yankees
than the last one was.
They feel that, if anything, the
iSo t00k betin when they
iraaea caaie itoDiiuon, a power
hitter who knocked in 104 runs
and slugged 22 homers last sea
son, to the Philadelphia Athele-
tics for Fain, who had only 59
RBI's and two home runs. They
are completely unimpressed by
the fact that Fain's .327 batting
average was 31 points higher
than his first-basing rival's and
that Fain is a superior fielder.
"AH I know as that the last
time I talked with those fel
lows last season they were
saying they had to find an
other power hitter." Manager
Al Lopes of the Indians re
calls. "So what's the next
thing I see? Just that they've
traded away the one real long
ball hitter they had . . ."
The record shows that the In
dians, while finishing only two
games behind the Yanks in last
year's hot race, put 12 lengths
between themselves and the
third-place Sox. Their won-lost
mark against the Hose was 14

coring.

Seton Hall Finally
After 27
By ORLO ROBERTSON
New York () Only one posi
tion remained open in each of
the two major postseason basket
ball tournaments today but the
big news was the Dayton Flyers,
who'll not be in either one.
The Flyers, who went to the
finals of the National Invitation
Tournament and lost to Illinois
in the first round of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
Tourney last year, toppled Seton
Hall from the unbeaten ranks,
71-65, at Dayton last night.
Seton Hall, the nation's No. 1
ranked team and seeded first in
the NIT. had raked up 27 vie
tories before running into a Day
ton five that had lost 13 of its 27
starts this season.
Meantime, the lineup for the
NCAA championship test was
far from settled even though
only one team la needed to
complete the 22-team bracket
The statement may sound a lit
tie contradictory but this is the
situation:
Fourteen of the 22 teams will
be conference champions. Eight
of the conference titles still are
They and
and 8.
"They are going to find that
they gave up a mighty good man
in Robinson," Lopez continued,
"A lot of people in Philadelphia
must have thought they were
getting a good one, too. At least
I didn't read where there was
much complaint about giving up
Fain for him.
"Maybe you need to man
age a club for a while to fully
appreciate what that one long
ball hitter can mean to a line
up. If yon have iuch a man as
that a batter like Robinson
and our Lake Easter, who
won't let too many good balls
go past when they are hit
ting in cleanup position
then you're always In the ball
game. If yon haven't your pit
chers can wear themselves out
trying to make one and two
runs stand up.
"To show you how a man
ager s mind works, I recall a
game last year in which Mike
Garcia was pitching beautifully
against the Athletics and had
them shut out 4-0 in a late inn
ing. And then things began to
happen a hit, a walk, an
other hit. That was when I be
gan thinking ahead to that big
guy Gus Zernlal and wondering
if Mike would get them out be
fore we got to him.
"Somehow I knew he wouldn't
and sure enough the next thing
I knew Zernlal was up there
hitting one out of the park and
it was a tied ball game. With a
fellow like that you see it com
ing but there's nothing you can
do. A lot of pitchers and man
agers are going to be unhappy
facing both Zernlal and Robin
son this season."

The hatchery was constructed
by the Portland district. Corps
of Engineers, to preserve the sal
mon run in the North Santlam
river blocked by the construc
tion of th Detroit Dam project
During th years 1951 and
1952, more than 668,000 spring
chlnook flngerling, or about 93
per cent of the eggs taken, were
released by th hatchery Into the
North Santlam river.
Fall chlnook released during
that period totaled more than
S3 per Mat of egg taken or .
834,588. Released steelhead
totaled 8,348.623 or about 74
per cent at eggs taken.
Colonel Lipscomb said the
Mari6n Forks hatchery, 22 miles
above Detroit Dam, replaced the
state-owned hatchery at Me
hama. A permanent salmon egg
collecting station has been con
structed below Big Cliff re-regulating
reservoir, 3.5 miles down
stream from Detroit Dam on the
North Santlam river and was
placed in operation In 1952. De

ar operated by th Fish Com

United States pays the in
creased eosts f operation aad

Cost of construction of th
hatchery and egg collection sta
tion, including all engineering
costs, was $835,000, Colonel
Lipscomb said.
At the beginning of th op

from Mehama to Marion Fork
and 1,000,000 eyed fall chl
