TIGER TO MEET SATURDAY Bowerman Discounts Cli mate City Claims of Easy Victory Kerby Athletes Also Will Participate Dcapftfl predictions from Or&nts Paai the high school there will easily win tomorrow's triangular track meet between Grants Pass, Kerby snd Me6 ford "with at least 80 of the possible 175 points," Coach Bowerman of the Med ford school today expressed the opinion that his squad will more than give a good account of Itself In the Climate City. "Take the 440 for instance," Bower man said. "Orants Pass Is depending on Bromley to take that event, citing his time trial In 67.2 seconds Wed nesday. He'll have to step faster than that to place a good third, with Lln- nei and Wright beating that time hollow." Several of Bower man' star per formers have been smudging nights, and consequently haven't been get- ting enough sleep. Bowerman said to day that he refused to let these men run unless they can prove that they have had at least eight hours sleep each night for the past week. Run ning with Insufficient sleep, the coach said, Is apt to overtax the hearts of high school athletes and he will not run the risk. Lewis, Todd and David son are three whose sleep records will be scanned. A squad of 31 men will make the Orants pass trip. The 100 and 320 sprints will be taken care of by Et tlnger, Verblck, Crosby and Lewis, -with Wright and Llnnell entered In the 440. The 880 run will find Doty, Werner and Barker running for the Tigers, all three men having proved excep tionally fast at this distance. Doty took the first few meets with ease but Werner and Baker have rapidly closed the gap and the coaoh Is ex pecting at least two or them to place among the three winners. Stocks, Todd and Davidson are scheduled to run the mile. Luther and Bowman will run the high hurdles and will repeat in the ltw obstacle events, strengthened by the addition of Evans. Bussey, Orow and Earhart will compete in the shot put, with Erlckson, Orow and Earhsrt entered In the discus event.

By ALAN GOL'LD Associated Press Bports Editor AUOUSTA, Go., April 3. (AP, While a deluge washed out the first round of the Augusta national tour nament, William Lawson Little., Jr., king of the world's amateurs for the past two years, emerged today as the latest notable recruit to the ranks of professional golf. In making the big Jump that took two famouo championship predeces sors, Robert T. Jones, Jr., and George Von Elm, from the ranks of the Slmon-pures six years ago, Little ended at the age of only 26 an ama teur career that dazzled two conti nents In 1034 and 1036. Drops Championships With a world record streak of 31 consecutive victories in title match play, the San Francisco "siege gun" captured the American and British crowns twice in succession. His de cision not only means the relinquish ment of both championships, at the peak of his career, but removes his chance to captain this year's Ameri can Walker cup team. With his bride, the former Doro thy Hurd of Chlcogo. nodding her smiling consent, Little declared to day he was "happy in making the decision that offers the chance to get down to work." The details have yet to be worked out, but he wilt shortly sign con tracts, he said, for a long term golf promotion venture, sponsored by a national sporting goods (Spalding's) concern. Work With Bob Jones I Little will be associated with Bob j Jones in work whjch the Georgian j described as "educational." Present i plans call for Little to lead a tour-: lng party which will give exhibitions, i show motion pictures end otherwise seek to create wider interest in golf i playing. Jones will act only In an ! advisory capacity. The aim Is to reach public courses, schools and col leges with the promotional program. Regardless of any "welcome mat" on the P. G. A. doorstep. Little fig ures to do pretty well for himself. It Is estimated he will realize (10,000 at least In his first year In the golf business. That Is exclusive of tour nament prize money, endorsements of commercial products or the sale of clubs bearing his name. Professional reaction to Little's move, which came as no startling surprise to golf followers, was some what cool. Several pros criticized the promotion plan for Little and his touring companions, probably includ ing Jimmy Thompson, to give free exhibitions. Veterans of the touring circuit apparently think such activ ity will cut down prospective "gates." TIGERS IN A BREEZE! SAY BASEBALL WRITERS By HERBERT W. BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer, NEW YORK, April 3. (AP) As compensation for two years of gleet, baseball experts participating in the Associated Press' tenth an nual pennant poll have given the Detroit Tigers an overwhelming vote of confidence for 1030. Final results In the American league poll, announced today, showed the Tigers so far In front of the field that there was no contest In the balloting, whatever may happen the playing field. Mickey Coch- ranes crew was the first-place se lection of 60 of the 07 sports editors and baseball writers voting. Twenty others rated the Tigers no better than second and the remaining eight picked them for the third slot. There was scattering first-place support for Tom Yawkey's expensive Boston Red Sox. the New York Yankees, and the Cleveland Indians, who led the poll a year ego, but the final tally left these clubs ranked In that order behind the world champions. By far the closest contests were for fifth, sixth and seventh places. with Chicago. St. Louis and Wash ington winding up In that order In a blanket finish. There was no argu ment whatever over the prospective cellar occupant. Only 10 of the 07 participants thought Connie Mack's wrecked Athletics could finish any where but in last place. Only three of these picked Che A's to finish as high as sixth.

The all-star, all-clean wrestling matches at the Armory Monday night, when Pete Belcastro clashes with Frank le Peck, Prince Mihalakls meets Dr. Barney Cosneck, and Dan ny Savlch tangles with Frank Tay lor, recalls the day when Belcastro was outside the pall of strictly scru pulous wrestling. The hot-blooded Italian champion used to be one of the meanest of the meaniea. Never backward about breaking a hold by the use of his fists, he occasionally took a lusty bite at an opponent's leg, and was known to kick and slug when In danger of losing a fall. For several years he was known as one of the most ruthless men In the game. Those who knew him out side the ring wondered at this trait. for it was seldom that be even i raised his voice In private conver-! Rations. About two years ago Bel castro took a trip east, and when he returned he had changed re markably. Never a dirty hold, always breaking clean at a tap on the shoulder from the referee his old enemies soon forgot their animosity toward him in the light of some ol the brilliant wrestling he turned in. Since winning the Pacific coast Junior heavyweight title last year, he hns not been known to slug once In the Medford arena. Last week when Frank le Peck was bulging Belcastro's eyes with skull crocking head-lock, Pete want ed to slug his way free, he admitted after the match, but for some rea son thought better of the action. He hos promised to stay clean for his return bout with Peck next week. Prince Mihalakls and Cosneck have exhibited plenty of rough stuff lh tnelr several local appearances, but neither has started the dirty work. Mihalakls retaliated against Al Ka ra Mcks slugging and Joe Marsh's hair pulling and kicking, and took both bouts with his camel lock, but admits that he prefers the clean type of grappling. Cosneck also flat, toned Mnrsh In revenge for dirty work, and did the some for Mike Csddock- several weeks ago when Icndrtock turned unorthodox. By the Associated Press New Brunswick. N. J.

The Acorns became the sols lead ers of the circuit with the aid of Walter Beck, hurler for the Mis sions, who slipped out of a first place tie. Beck lost a 10-lnnlng tus sle with the Portland Beavers, 4-3, by walking the batters who scored the first two Portland runs In the opening Inning, and then lolling to touch first for a putout In the tenth. That turned out to be the winning " tolly. Meyer's Oaks did their share by driving Los Angeles Into the cellar with a 12-3 victory. San Diego, the only club among the leading four that Is piloted by last season's manager, tried three pitchers in an unsuccessful effort to stop the Seattle Indians. The Tribp won, 7-4," but couldn't get out or the cellar. Sad Sam Gibson of the San Fran clsco Seals limited the Sacrament: Senators to five hits as he eked out 2-1 victory.
