Salem Favored in Johnny Podrcs as the Dodgers' two "big ifs" of 1957. Campanella, bothered by bad hands, hit only .219 last season but has been in sisting all winter that he's sound again. Only pitchers and catchers are actually due for today's workout but Alston was pleased to learn that veteran outfielder Carl Furil lo and rookie first-baseman Jim Gentile also will be present.

The object is to regain that poise before Linfield comes roaring in. This Saturday night game in Sa lem will close out Linfield's sea son, but Willamette has one March 1 at Lewis & Clark and the finish er at home against Pacific March 2. Coach Johnny Lewis still is per turbed about his team's "poor' showing in losing three games on the road two to Whitman and one1 Lint, Beaver Hurler, Ends Baseball Play PORTLAND m Royce Lint, veteran lefthanded pitcher for the Portland Pacific Coast League baseball team, has quit the game. "I would have at the most only one or two more years of pitch ing left," he said in a letter Wed nesday to Joe Ziegler, general manager. Ziegler heard, unofficially, that outfielder Lloyd Merriman also plans to quit. Lint has been working as a longshoreman here and said it appeared he, now has a chance for steady employment "and therefore I am giving up pro base ball." Lint came to Portland in 1952 from Hollywood. Before that he had been in the American Assn. After a 22-10 record in 1953, he was bought by the St. Louis Car dinals but was worked only 70 in nings throughout 1954.

A crisp, sunny day Wednesday brought out four shot putters at Willamette university, who coordinate their iron ball handling for the cameraman. Willamette's first meet will be March 23 at University of Oregon. Lett to vealed that pitcher Bob Lemon has agreed to terms. Lemon, a 20-game .winner for the seventh time in his career last year, is believed to have settled for about $45,000. The Indians still have 12 players unsigned. The Philadelphia Phillies an nounced that former infielder Gran Hamner, who is trying his arm at pitching this year, has signed. Hamner was forced to the toe plate because of an injury to his left shoulder which hobbled his play at both shortstop and second base. The Phillies are hopeful that a knuckler and good control can make him a surprise winner on the mound. On other fronts: Outfielder Hank Bauer and third baseman Andy Carey signed with the world champion New York Yankees, who now have 29 play ers under contract. Bauer hit only .241 but drove in 84 runs and walloped 26 homers last season. Carey, a .237-hitter in 1956, will have to fight to retain his job this year. The New York Giants reported "all signed" when rookie pitcher Curtis Barclay, 15-11 at Minneapo lis last season, came to terms. The Giants are' the first of the three New York teams to sign up their full roster. The Pittsburgh Pirates reported the signing of righthander Bob Garbcr, who compiled an 11-6 mark at Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League last season. Catcher Jack Shcpard and outfielder Lee Wails remained as the only Bucs who have not yet inked contracts. Dallas, Molalla Contest Might Decide Champ Rivals Tied With 6-1 Records in WVL; . .

Esta cada is fifth with a league mark of two wins and five losses. Canby, which has lost all seven of its league starts,, will be a big underdog in its game with Central, which is fourth.

Tlghe stepped into the managerial spot The Sportmeter By A. C. JONES, Capital How to Ease the Pain Coincidence: The sudden decision by promoter Tommy Moyer to postpone the second Salem boxing card from March 2 just hap pened to come right after the star lost by TKO to Lou Joseph, Seattle, in a Longview fight Tuesday. We rather guess that Moyer, knowing that TV spoils fans for mediocre cards, feared bringing in Harper so soon after the upset . . . We figured Eddie Machcn and all the bigtime boxers studies movies of their fights and those of their next opponent. But the No. 2 heavyweight contender, who threw leather here in an exhibition last Saturday, says he doesn't bother. "What can you learn about him?" he asked in return. "He might change his style just for you.. It's better fo go in, feel him out and adjust yourself." -How did Machcn happen to get hooked up with his man ager, Sid Flaherty? "Even be fore I turned pro I wanted to, have Sid for my manager be- cause I'd heard about him and thought he was the best in the country," friendly Eddie said. Machcn had only three ama teur bouts before his backers brought him and Flaherty to gether. It was some reunion when Dave tim in the Saturday card, met Harold Kollrc after the fight. Kotlre. from Silverton, applied the TKO to Roy in the third round at Portland in 1954 just before bolh of them were lo head into military service and go overseas.

If Ron Russell and Dan Moore t had not returned to the Saxons, George would have to pick North, But the two scoring and rebound ing whizzes make all the difference in the world in the results that Coach Dick Ballantync gels. Coach Ward Paldanius' north endcrs won the first meeting, 55 47, but it didn't count in the dis trict. The second, also non-league, went to South, 53-42, and the third, which did count, also went ot South, 57-47, Thus, the Saxons won the scries so far, 157-144. Important In District The fourth one will decide pos session for next year of the Salem Breakfast club trophy, divided at the present time because last year's series went 2-2. District - wise, Friday s battle will decide things on the tourna ment front, somewhat. South could use a victory to ad vantage because it still has hopes of getting even with Albany, the leader, when they meet March 1 at Albany. That would even the count unless Sweet Home gets to Albany first when Albany plays at Sweet Home Feb. 26. That's a pos sibility that the North Salem teams like to think about. This portion of District 8 can send two teams to the state A-l tournament. There will be no post schedule playoff as there was last year. Redmond' already has sewed up the tourney berth in the sub district by accomplishing the un weighty job of beating out. Bend and Prinevillc.
