MAIL TRIBUNE Classified CUBS AND TIGERS TO Season Opens Tuesday . Cards To Meet Chicago First Red Sox Runner- Up. NEW YORK, April 11, (UP) Sixteen major league clubs, almost half of which confidently are eyeing the gold and glory that goes with the world series, start the 1936 base ball race on eight fronts next Tues day. The Chicago Cube and Detroit Tigers, winners last year, are slight favorites to hammer down the stretch in front of their seven rivals In the 154 -game race but only af ter what baseball experts believe will be the severest pennant scraps In more than a decade. The Tigers, seeking their third straight American league flag, are 8-5 favorites to repeat while the cubs, who won the National league title with a record -shattering 21 game winning streak, are quoted the same In their circuit. The American race shapes up ss a four-club affair with the Boston Red Sox, strengthened by practically all of the Philadelphia Athletics', stars of former years, quoted second at 2-1 The New York Yankees, perennial runners-up, and Cleveland Indians sre rated 4-1, although that price will be hammered down If either club shows promise during the early stages of the campaign. In the National league, the scrappy 3t. Louis Cardinals sre rated 2-1 fol lowed by the New York Giants, who flopped two years running In the stretch. They are held at 3 to 1. Two of the National favorites Chicago and St. Louis open against each other In St. Louis. The Brook lyn Dodgers, a collection of misfits who are rated the "dark horse" team of the circuit, start the season against the New York Olants. other Initial clashes are Boston at Phila delphia and Pittsburgh at Cincin nati. The Detroit Tigers open defense of their title in Cleveland. The Yan kees meet Washington. St. Louis plays Chicago and Philadelphia, with prac tically an all -rookie team, travels up to Boston.

C. track and field squad today overwhelmed Its most formidable dual meet competitor In defeating the University of California team by a OS to 38 score. Although the Trojan victory was expected, even the optimistic Crom well was astonished by the margin piled up by his young athletes, many of whom are among Americas leading prospects for the Olympic games. Injuries and accidents helped spoil California's chances, and then, when he saw all hope of victory gone, Coach Brutus Hamilton held out his stars In the closing events to save them from Injury. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., April 11. (UP) Making a clean sweep In two events and taking the first two places In seven others, Stan ford university's track and field team today decisively defeated U. C. L. A.' representatives, 00 1-5 to 31 4-5.

KIT BALLSEASON The soft ball league swings Into ac tion Monday night, with Interest higher than at any time In the past few years, according to Sam Col ton. manager of the league. A new system of starting the play ing will be used this year, with all of the eight teams of the league as sembling at VanScoyoc field. Four teams will be drawn and these will oppose one another In the two games After the Initial drajvlng the remain der of the season schedule will be made out, with two games to be play ed each night except Saturday and Sunday. The Initial game will start st 6 o'clock. The first leg of the schedule will continue for one month, after which the schedule will be re-arranged for the last stretch, which Is ex pected to end about June 10. tender ere equally strong, them, however, have many their clubs. Influx of settlers from other states is being reflected ' in greatly increased demand and sharply rising prices in the real estate field. This applies to city, suburban and farm property. Particularly . in the city, where there is an actual shortage of desirable homes, prices are rising. BUY YOUR HOME NOW! BUY PROPERTY and BUILD! Penoni wanting to own their own homes and shrewd Investors are, therefore, bnying now riding a rising market on their Investments. Thi is the Uuie to buy property and build, throngb convenient Fed eral Housing loans, or buy homes at real value-giving prices See the listing of desirable homej and other real estate listed today and every day In PETE AND PRINCE TO MATCH GRIPS When pete Belcastro, Pacific coast Junior heavyweight wrestling cham pion, and Prince Slllki Ibn Alll Has san Mlhalakls, Arabian nobleman. clash on the main event of Mon day's wrestling card at the Armory, two of the fastest and most deceptive grapplers ever seen here will be In action. The tricky Italian champion, aware of the fact that he Is in for one of the momentous struggles of his career, has been doing strict road work in Klamath county In prepara tion for the clash. Mlhalakls, who has slashed his way through all opposition In this district, Is also making his preparations, and plana on tapering off his training regime with some swimming in the Icy waters of the Rogue river this evening. The bout has attracted as much In terest as any since the battle royal held here last year, and Promoter Mack LI Hard foresees one of the larg est houses, in recent months. The middle main event also prom ises whirlwind action when the Jolt ing "sonnenberg." George "Wildcat" Wilson, former all-Amerlcan football ace, and, Frankie Peck, headlock art ist from San Francisco, come together. In a bout between the two several weeks ago, Wilson eked out a victory when he outsonnenberged Peck as the San Franciscan attempted the table- turning stunt of starting the flying tackles first. In tomorrow's struggle Peck has vowed to crunch Wilson's skull from the start of the match, plowing no chance for Wilson to butt blm. The opening battle pits two local favorites In a rematch from last week's card, handsome Frank Taylor and for mer all-Amerlcan guard from Utah. Danny Savich. The two produced a momentous struggle In their last bout, Savich winning by way of the sonnenberg route. The flying tackles also accounted for one fall against him when Taylor leaped Into the air and crashed Savich to the mat with a scissors about the midriff. Savich syears that he will, not be caught In the same trap again. The two opening frays will be un-; der the Australian system of six 10- I minute rounds, or the best two out of three falls, with the main event to be under the American system of two out of three tumbles or one hour's time. Mack LUMard has announced that there will be no rise In prices.
