NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer BAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 35. (AP) The Portland Beavers may prova a surprise In the 1035 Coast league pen' Bant race as the climax of a "new deal" that has turned the club Inside out. Talkative Tom Turner haa gone on bis way with a pocltettul of money that formerly belonged to E. J. Schef ter. new owner. Schefter'e first move was to Install Buddy Ryan as man ager. Ryan, who managed Sacra mento for many yeara, knowa bis baseball. The new combine already has given evidence of Intent to develop a real team. At this time they hava the backbone of a fair looking club. Addi tional material la needed to make It a, threat to the leaders. Money Being Spent With Schetter's money flowlnc somewhat freely, Manager Ryan has acquired "Jumbo" Jim Elliott, who did a big league stretch after gradu ating from Seattle and still la sn ef fective pitcher; Bill Cronln, catcher, who served a hitch with Los Angeles a few yeara ago; Chalmer Clasell and Harry Davis, clever first basemen. Not many years ago Clsaell's sale to the major brought Fortland an esti mated 1125,000. He comes back to bis old stamping ground by trade. These newcomers, given some help, may restore the Beavers to their for mer high standing. Besides Elliott the pitching stsff has Ed Bryan, Hnl Turpln aad Hank Ullrich for regulars. Recruit moundsmen Include Ted Brady, Ouerney Jonea and Neal Mon tank. all from Los Angeles; Bob Hnutchens, from Portland, and Ralph (Sutherland, a La Crescents, Cel., boy. At leaat three experienced hurlers are required to round out the staff. The catching crop sines up strong with Cronln, Prank Cox and Harold Soerr already proven, and youngsters James Lyke and Verne Richards. Ryan thinks he has a find In Rich ards, a Portland youth. Infield All Set The Infield appears to be set with Davis at first, Clssell at second, Ches ter Wllburn at short and OH English at third. Davis comes from the De troit Tigers. He played with Toledo last year and hit around .330. Clsssll played quite a bit of second base for the Red Sox last season. Wllburn and English are holdovers. The coscorat boys, Pete and Steve, will be at training camp. Theae youngsters, Inflelders. undoubtedly lrtlt develop Into real plsyors but are a trifle Inexperienced and hardly rate with the regulars st this time. Rysn's outfield will Include Oeorge Blackerby, Tony Bongtovanl, "Moose" Claybaugh and Rookie BUI Bvlllch from Sacramento. Help Is needed In this department. There Is talk a deal Is under way for the purchase of Bchulmerlch from Toronto of the In ternational league, Schulmerlch, for mer Oregon State college athlet who started his professional career with Los Angeles snd grsduated to the ma jors, la still a capable player. His acquisition would round out a hard hitting outfield for the Beavers. TO FACE HEALY The appearance of "Chief" Btrong bow, behemoth Shawnee Indian wrestler.

The 375-pound redskin will tus ale with Jimmy Healy, pugnacious San Pranctscon. and promises him a thorough scalping. Strong bow haa been disqualified three times In a row In Portland matches for unnecessary roughnoss and fouls. He uses queer Indian holds such as the "dathtork" and the "paralyzer." that mnke him one of the most dangerous of the man mountain grnpplers. In the second half of the program. Masked Marvel, the mystery man. will tangle with hlg pon Wagner, ex-football star of Oregon State college. Race Track Fan Dies Of Injury MONROVIA, Calif. Feb.

Here Is one group of baseball play ers who are most Impatient for the training period In the Southland to get under way for they are anxious to prove that their effectiveness has not been Impaired. The veteran "Rabbit" Maranvllle, refusing to be relegated to the coaches' ranks, Insisted on signing a player's contract with the Boston Braves. At 43. he Is certain he can oome back alter the unfortunate aprlng training accident which kept him out of the game all last season. Late laat March MnranvlUe's leg was broken when he crashed Into Norman Kles, a young pitcher for the Yankeea. It was the beginning of a series of unfortunate developments. The bone failed to mend properly and had to be brokon and set four times. In preparing himself for the come back, the game little voteran has been Jogging several miles dally. His heart Is set on making good all over again and, having watched this miracle man of baseball for these msny, many years, I, for one, would not care to wager agalnat his chances, OF UAGMON Homeless, Jobless, Mostly Penniless Camping in Scores of French Towns War Days Are Recalled By RH'HAICD O. MASSOCK PARIS (AP) Homeless, Jobless and mostly penniless, 3.000 Saarlandcra. refugees all. are camping In a score of French towns, waiting for the League of Nations to settle their fates. Their womenfolk try to m-.ike tern-, porary homos of tho single room as signed to each family In some Im provised dormitory, children attempt bashfully to piny with staring French youngsters, and young men. who are In the majority, paw the days Idly. Worry Is In the face of each of these fugitives from Adolf Hitler's narJ Germany, self-exiled to south west Prance where the countryside, the Latin people and the language are completely foreign to them. They live In anxious uncertainty of the morrow. Uliip bring Safety In Cell One refugee has become Insane. Others wander through the refugee camps, set'klng wives, husbands, par ents and friends lost In some momen tary separation. A Saarlander chauffeur, who said his former employer had threatened him with Internment In a German concentration camp, slapped a French army ofitcer as soon as he crossed the frontier so that he would be Impris oned safely on French territory. France has told the League that the task of caring for these emigres Is too much for her to handle In the midst of the depression. Genevas clearing house of international prob lems has been asked to provide per manent havens. French officials report that 3,000 Saar refugees filtered Into France within two weeks after tha plebiscite. By that time the ex cuius from the territory recovered by ciermnnv hud dwindled to an lmprecepuhle trickle.

Quite a Job he has cut out for him self, trying to regain a place on the team which won the world's cham pionship In such dramatic fashion last fall. Tho New York Yankees have three "crlpplea" to look over at St. Petera burg Earl Combs, Bill Dickey and Dixie Walker. The gray-haired Combs was near lng the end of hla big league days when he crashed Into the wall In St. Louis snd seriously Injured himself. For many days after the crash his very Ufa was despaired of, the ques tion of playing ball again seemed too remote to evon consider. Bu time and proper attention hava worked wonders for this popular outfielder, and today, to all outward appear ances, he looks ready to pick up tha the plebiscite. Many of them may yet be used before the Saar reverts to aeremany on March 1. France, however, haa admitted only bona-flde s&arlanders with good rec ords and good excuses for fleeing naeldom. Turned back are suspected criminals, German anti-hazls. Includ ing Jews, who fled Into the Saar when Hitler attained power, and former Rhlneland separatists who left Ger many when their movement failed In 1923. Preference has been given S&ar landers who had applied for French citizenship or sent their children to French schools In the Saar, thus In curring nasi wrath. After having trudged the snow packed frontier roads to Frobach and Snaregucmlnes, lugging suitcases or sacks of meager possessions, the ac cepted refugees are started south ward on the hard wooden seats of third-class railroad cars within 24 hours, to avoid any congestion of frontier posts. War days, when frontier towns were evacuated ahead of the advanc ing German army, are recalled as the fugitives are given hot choco late, soup and sandwiches at Red Cross canteens. No Tarrying At Border Most of them would rather have remained In Lorraine or Alsace, where German la spoken. But France has a policy of keep ing political refugees away from fron tiers to avoid espionage, agitation, propaganda and border Incidents. Hence all but those who have rela tive In France with whom to live are sent to Toulouse or Montauban and from there scattered. In groups of 30 to 300. among nearby towns. Employment is virtually dented the refugees, for aside from their ig norance of French, they must cope with the regulation that foreigners may hold only those Jobs for which no French xinemployed are available With more than 400.000 Frenchmen on the unemployment dole, work is scarce. "The future of these poor people certatnly la not enviable, although we are doing everything possible to soften the hardship of their exile." said a French official. "Having left everything behind them, they must endure a life simi lar to that of a soldier In camp. Equipoise Through Declares Trainer LOS ANCIFI.FS. Feb. 25 -(AP) Jiuk A.

(Spl) Two of the northwest's most deadly ath letlc rivals will meet for the first time In two yeara when Howard Hobson's Denver bound SONS bss- Icetbsll team tangles with the Wolves of Oregon Normal from Monmouth In Ashlsnd's Junior high gym to night and tomorrow night with both games being called for 8:15 o'clock. Lsst meeting of the two normal schools wss in 1S35 when the SONS, led by Wlllard Jones, Bud Jones. Cliff McLean and Ward Howell and Dick Jochlsch, trounced the Wolves twice In Ashland after losing a twin series at Monmouth. Now, the Jones boys are members of the University of Oregon quintet but Howell, McLesn and Jocklscb will be playing agalnat their old rivals and attempting to revenge the 7-8 football defeat of last fall. Monmouth's roster resds like a who's who of former Oregon All State men. At the two forward spots will be Bud Averlll and Herb Ystad, both former members of a couple of Astoria high state champ ionship outfits and both all-state men. Two flashes from Indiana hold down the center and one guard position, James Butterworth and Ray Osborne respectively, and both were all-state players In In diana high schools. Butterworth Is a huge fellow, standing six feet, five Inches tall, and has run wild all year to become the greatest center In Mmmouth history. A bat tle royal la expected when he and the gigantic Howell tangle for the first time. Probably the outstanding player on the Monmouth team,, however. Is John Kelly. For two yeara Kelly wasi named on the all-atate team at, Salem In the tournament and In 1933 was placed at captain and called the most valuable man In the tourney. He Is from Salem hlsh and Is a player of the Cliff McLean type; fast as a flash, a good drib bler and an exceptional ball hawk. Against that team, which has scored victories over most of the state's best teams, Hobson expects to start the same lineup thst hss hung up a record of 18 wins in 21 games: Howell at center, Mc Lean and Patterson st forwards snd uourtney and Jocklsch at the guard positions.

Use Msl) Tnaune want ads "as advertised HOW many times you see those two words in the course of a day's shopping: "This article for sale "as advertised." And those two words are as welcome as they are familiar, for they form a bond of confidence between the merchant and yourself. They are his guarantee to you of worth and value. Here is an article that has been described in your newspaper. Its merits have been told; possibly, too, its price. You know exactly what you will get when you buy it. You know its quality, its utility; you know how it fits into your need3. And when you buy it, you know you are getting not some unproved substitute but the specified article as represented. It is easy to understand why that phrase, "as advertised," creates a feeling of confidence. You have learned to depend upon consistently advertised products. You know that the maker has confidence in them, else he would not spend money calling your attention to them day after day, and month after month. You know that they have been approved by the most critical of inves tigatorsthe buying public. And above all you know from ex perience that buying goods "as adertised" is the best investment you can make. It pays to read the advertisements. T By GALE TALBOT (Associated Press Sports Writer) LONDON (AP) Whether or not T. O. M- Sopwlth decides to have an other fling at the Amerlca'a cup with his Endeavor In 1936, there Is pretty certain to be a challenge from this side. Charles R. Falrey. one of Englsnd's best known yachtmen and owner of Thomas Llpton's lsst challenger, the Shamrock V, admitted to The Asso ciated Preas that he has been giving tne matter "serious thought." It all depends, probably, on wheth er Sopwlth, one of Falrey's closest friends, decides to try again. Since he returned from last summer's vsln attempt to lift the cup. all hot and agitated, Sopwlth has given no Indi cation of hla future plans. "Of course I hsve given It serious thought." Falrey said. "I suppose every yachtsman In England has. but that's as far as It has gone. At any rate. I shall make no serious plsns until Mr. Sopwlth has Indicated his Intentions. He has the priority." Falrey, who, like Sopwlth, Is the head of a large aircraft manufactur- lng corporation bearing his noma. Is preparing to race the Shamrock against such famous yachts as the Endeavour, the American Yankee and the King'a Britannia In British wat ers this summer. He has no Inten tions, however, of challenging for the cup with the Shamrock. "No fear." he laughed (which Is British for "not a chsnce"). "If It couldn't win for LIpton, I have no reason to believe it would win for me. No, I would build a new chal lenger." If It does come about that Falrey challenges, there Is no danger of hla showing up In American waters with an amateur crew or with a profes sional crew that doesn't know Its business. He has signed on the finest crew of veteran professionals he could find to handle the Shamrock this summer and Intends to keep them together as a unit In the event he builds an America's cup racer. Falrey, at 48, is president of the Royal Aeronautical society and mem ber of the Royal London Vacht club.

AS By theAssoclated Press The Coast conference northern di vision hoop race headed Into Its last week today, with the title still to be decided and the pennant path far from smooth for the leaders. Oregon State, with a half-game margin, and Washington, were occu pying spots within reach of the crown. Idaho, In the cellar, faced the leading Beavers tonight and tomorrow at Moscol, eager to wreck the Oregon State title hopes as a measure of re venge for the two defeats they suf fered at Corvallis earlier In the sea son. At the same time. Oregon will meet the Washington Huskies at Seattle, the Webfootera also In a not-so-amiable frame of mind over the pair of pastlngs the coast champions last season dished out to them at Eu gene. Washington State, idle until Satur day, when the Idaho game at Pull man will finish out the season's schedule for both teams, demonstrat ed to the Vandals that the Beavers could be stopped by blasting out a 30-27 decision at Pullman Friday. Saturday's outcome was a different story, the Beavers getting back into the winning habit with a 36-32 vic tory. The Oregon series will wind up Washington's schedule, while the Webfootera and Beavers will have one more argument, booked for Saturday at Eugene. The standings: Pts W. L. Pet. Pc Pie Ag'st Ore.
