Bj GIL GILMORE Trl-Cilr Htrald iDorti Writer Kennewlck, Wash, W The Tri-City Bravea, under home ownership and a new manage ment, are being built mostly on hopes this year hopes of catching up with the rest of the Western International League and hopes of landing two more pitchers and an equal number of hard-hitting outfielders. As things stand now, they ,have but two pitchers qualified lor starting roles. They are Jesse Dobernlc, onetime White Sox and Cubs reliefer, who was purchased from Toronto, and Bob Snyder, 14-14 pitcher for Vancouver last season. The rest of the pitching staff consists of limited serv ice men and rookies. Top prospects are Dale Bloom, Dick Pledmonte, and Marian Hill, all hurlers from lower leagues with fair wot ?.oss records. The only holdovers are Bill Kostenbader (0-3) who played so little he is still classed as a rookie, and Ken Michelson, (3-7) reliefer who quit in mid season. He has been reinstated.

Item 751 Httodt lledt Portland, 5, Oregon UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD tO0 Of TNI Mliy STHAMIMM only outfielder and the only 300 hitter on the roster at xne present time. Des Charouhas, 305 hitter, has not reported and has Indicated he Intends to continue attending the Uni verslty of Washington. Joe Sea Use. who has asked for volun tary retirement, has been put up for sale along wnn unarou- has. Negotiations to buy John Kovenz, .306 hitter last year, failed when Kovens (aid he would not play for the Braves. He was offered for sale by Cleveland. The best hope for a hitter is Jack Warren, former catcher for Seattle, but who can fill an outfield spot. Warren hit .305 for Seattle in 1950 and then quit to play semi-pro ball when he did not get tne pay ne thought he was entitled to. Defensively, the Braves will have a strong infield. Vic Buc- cola, veteran first baseman will hold down that sack. Vannl has wide selection for the other three spots. Ray Tran will fill one most likely shortstop. Ernie Sierra, a flashy in fielder, formerly with Posa tello, and Terry Carroll, WSC graduate formerly with Yuma, Arii., will compete for second. Tommy Marier, holdover from last year, will again be on third. But none of these players are expected to be strong at the plate. The catching spots are also weU filled. Nick Pesut, last season's most popular Brave, will be No. 1 again and Rube Johnson, who was recently dis charged from the Army, will be No. 2. Most of the Braves' troubles can be traced to the long ne gotiations for the sale of the club by Dick Richards, then general manager, and other stockholders. The money-raising campaign and the dealing lasted into January and the Braves were unable to estab lish a working agreement with any major league or Coast league club. . This means the club haa had to buy all of its players outright. The club also faces the problem of staying under the salary limit when no higher classification club is paying part of the salaries. Although some $33,000 was raised through the sale of stock. this money barely covered the cost of the club and franchise and various league fees. Money to buy players in recent weeks has come from the sale of ad' vertising signs and booster buttons. Midget" Races ' At Jantzen Beach Friday Warmer weather was hoped for by race officials for Friday night and the scheduled open ing of midget racing at the Jentzen Beach arena, the in itial quarter mile running of the double main event midget program with time trials set for. 7:30 and the twin program an hour later. v A full field of cars is ex pected, including Don Olds, winner of the Seattle opening event; Shorty Templeman, last years champion without a 1953 main event win, and Bob Gregg, the - barefoot Camas, Wash., chauffeur, who has ac- cumulated an Offenhauser third and second in two out ings in the early midget season, Russ Congdon is slated to have his white No. 44 Califor nia car on hand for the Jantzen opening, as will Gordy Young strom be in We Beck's No. 17 wheezer. Del Fanning, Lew "Balloon Foot" Florence, Mel McGaushy.

The Colorado Supreme Court in effect held Monday that the former gridman, 25- year-old Ernest Nemeth, was employed by the University to play football. It ruled, in a 8-1 decision, that he was entitled to weekly payments of $11.87 for a back injury already allowed by the State Industrial .Commission and upheld In District Court. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court by the uni versity's Insurance firm. A source close to the uni versity, asking not to be quot ed by name, declared: "I think grants-in-aid and part time work for students may be all out now. Under the ruling a student typist could fall and break an arm in a gym class and be entitled to workmen's compenstion. This is going to pose a lot of problems." Nemeth, a former fullback and line-backer, said his spine was injured permanently dur ing spring practice in 1950 in filing a claim for benefits. He said the university then was paying him $50 a month for work done at the campus ten nis courts and deducting $10 a month for meals. He fired a furnace and cleaned sidewalks for his room, Nemeth said.

It Is difficult to imagine more convincing proof of Chevrolet's superiority, for such clear-cut and overwhelming preference can lead to but one conclusion: Chevrolet trucks must be better, must enjoy solid advantages over other trucks. Such preference must rest on a firm foun dation of good, sound value. And, of course, it does as owners of Chevrolet trucks cap testify. So before you buy any truck, see how much more Chevrolet trucks offer you. Stop in and see US SOOn.
