Cincinnati Reds Baseball School Opens Senior Hi Field Tomorrow
FAMOUS CATCHER
MINOR SCOUT TO
GIVE ONCE-OVER
Welcome for Any Youth 17
to 21 at Only Tryout in
State Forty to Attend,
Maybe there Is another Johnny
Vendor Meer hiding his light In some
tiny hamlet nearby. Or, maybe there
lives a youngster hereabout who
will uma day be compared with Joe
DIMagglo. It Is not imposssime.
If there Is, he will not remain un
discovered for long, because tomor
row morning at 10 o'cloc at the
turf high school the Cincinnati Reds
of the National league open their
annual baseball tryout camp for all
young ball players between the ages
of 17 and 31 years, inclusive, ine
camD ends Friday,
Under the direction of Mickey
Shatter, famous scout for the Reds
minor league farm system, and Hank
Severeld, former catcher for tne oi
Louis Browns, the New York Yanks,
and the man who has worn the big
mitt In more major league games
than anyone else alive, the Reds will
give the once-over to every youngster
who desires a berth in proressionai
, baseball.
In case some young posttmer dis
plays enouch class to warrant a trial
with one of Cincinnati's minor
league farm clubs, he will be given
a contract and requested to report
next spring. Two years ago In the
camp hcic, Paul Oehrman, a young
rig h than tied pitcher from Bend, wae
p Irked up by the Reds. He spent tne
1037 season with uurnam m me
Piedmont league, and this year pitch
ed for Albany, N. Y., In the class A
Eastern circuit. He has been recalled
by Cincinnati, the mother team, and
will undoubtedly become a full
fledged major leaguer In 1030. Last
season, the Reds held their camp in
Bend, and nobody was signed.
,Ali, players between the specified
ages may enroll for the thieo-day
camp at no cost or tuition, whatso
ever. They are asked merely to fur
nish their own shoes, gloves and
suits, and report to Shader and Se-
vereld tomorrow at 10 a.m. It Is not
necessary to be previously signed
up for the oamp, and everyone will
receive the same chance to make
qood. The Reds will provide bats,
bans ana an omer equipment.
i The camp squad will be split up
Into full teams and regulation games
will be held, with Severeld and
Shader coaching the youngsters In
the art of playing every position on
the diamond, In addition to keep
ing their eyes peeled for promising
young talent. Regardless of whether
any youngster is given a contract, all
will receive the benefit of being tu
tored for three days by two of the
smartest baseball men In the game,
and will learn things that will help
them Immeasurably In their playing
davs to come.
This camp, which Is the only one
to be held In Oregon, la one of a
series of 13 the Reds are holding in
tho far west this year. Large turn
outs have been reported at the camps
thus far held in Spokane, Vancou
ver, Olympla, and Ronton, Wash.,
Lewlston, Idaho. Salt Lake City and
Butte, Montana. Prom here, the Reds
will move Into California to end
the series with similar tryouts in
Berkeley, San Bernardino, Snnta Mon
ica, Petal uma and Stockton.
The tryout camps were Inaugu
rated by the Reds four years ago,
and since that time they have given
Jobs in professional baseball to 03
youngtteis. many of them now play
ing In class A and AA leagues. It Is
expected that about 40 young play
ers will report for the tryouts here,
including many players from the
Southern Oregon league, the North
ern California circuit, and from up
state points In Oregon and from
northern California.
Shader and Severeld arrived in
Mcdlord last night from Spokane
to arrange last-minute details for
the aeESioiia. Activity each day will
consist of five-inning Ramcs between
players trying out. Sevrreld explain
ed, with the youngsteia going at top
(peed from 10 in the morning until
'J In the afternoon. The turnout
catcher again emphasised that It
wasn't necessary for boys to have
registered previously for the try"t
and that a cordial welcome was ex
tendrd all player who wanted to at
tend the camp. Shader and Severeld
are staying at the Hotel Medfotd.

Big Alyln Brltt employed his pay
off armbrcaker hold over the ropes
to thoroughly disable Tiger Tsakoff
in 23 minutes last night in the arm
ory and win their main event wrest
ling match. Tsakoff was unable to
return for more milling after receiv
ing a taste of the painful maneuver
It was a wild, brawling match, with
the Bulgarian throwing all thought
of clean tactics to the winds and
bringing into play every dirty ha'd
ever invented. After working Brltt
over with punches and other foul
tactics, Tsakoff took the first fall in
14 minutes. He used a step over toe
hold for the tumble.
En raced at Tsakoff s villainous out
bursts, the ex-Junior heavyweight
champion came back to batter the
Tiger from pillar to post, finally si
ting him up for the nrmbreaker nine
minutes later.
Although outweighed over 16
pounds, Charley Carr staged a sen
sational battle against Paul Murdock
In the middle encounter before fail

of the finest exhibitions of clenn and
scientific grappling ever seen In the
armory.
Carr grabbed the first fall in the
opening canto with a half package
hold, after using sonnenbergs to good
advantage. Murdock evened the count
In tho fourth framo by battering
Carr to the enrpct. with his Alabama

When the weary Stuhley climbed
down through the ropes after oelng

"Do you think Freddie Apostoli
could lick Hostak?"
"Hell no," Stuhley answered, shak
ing his head. "That guy Hostak can
lick anybody in the world."

TALK CORRECTED
An erroneous statement made by
a forest officer In a civic club talk
recently wns corrected today by H. C.
Obye, assistant supervisor of the
Rogue river national forest.
The statement, reported In the
Mall Tribune, was that the U. S. for
est service did not look with favor
upon the regulation of logging and
other Industrial operations In tim
bered areas of Oregon.
"The Impression created by this
statement should be corrected," said
Mr. Obye. "As a matter of fact the
forest service recognizes the necessity
for and supports certain restrictions
on these operations during dangerous
fire we.it her, such as has prevailed
here this season.
"There has bcon no appreciable
rain since early May and this has re
sulted In one of the most critical fire
seasons the state has seen In years.
In spite of (his fact. losses due to
fires escaping from industrial oper
ations have been held to a record
low level. The forest service uclleves
that this record Is due to the cooper
ation of the lumbermen and to the
Intelligent application by the state
forester of the state law."
There has been nothing unreason
able in the restrictions Imposed In
July when "all the protective agen
cies of the state were laboring under
a peak fire-flghtlng load." Mr Obye
emphasized. "Great caution on the
part of everyone Is vitally essential
if serious firea are to be prevented.

IN PENNANT CHASE
By Hugh 9. r ullerton, Jr.
(Asoclated Presa. Sports Writer)
Llwe the famous ill wind, the Pitta
burgh Pirates would have you believe
it's an 111 rain that helps no one's
pennant prospects.
The entire National league program
four doubleheaders was rained right
off the 1938 program and that, In
lta way. was somewhat more Impor
tant than any of the three games
played In the American league.
While the league-leading Piravcs
were deprived of a chance to Im
prove their record at the expense oi
the Phillies, they marked up two
games that can't be lost and two
apiece that their rivals, the Chicago
Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, can't
win. They now have 14 to go and
Chicago and Cincinnati 13 apiece.
Approximately half of the $9,965.
236 collected as a retail sales tax In
glng restrictions can be expected
promptly when burning conditions
warrant. The forest service believes
present restrictions are necessary un
til the fire situation is relieved by
more favorable weather."
