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.
Pole vaulters are listed as Horner,

of Chicago.
As Dr. James Nalsmlth, 73-yeor-
old originator of baiketball, prepared
officially to open play, the towering
McPherson Oilers ranked as prohibi
tive favorites to smash their way
to victory. Averaging close to 8 feet

equally as large and fast reserves,
the National A. A. U. champs looKea

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.

Bill Meyer, a new Coast league
manager, and his Oakland ball play-
era stepped out In front of the 1036
pennant parade today.
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

Meyer's Oaks did their share by
driving Los Angeles Into the cellar
