Billy lluhn Says:
Reds Will Hold
Tryout Camp In
Town June 3-7
The Cincinnati Redi evident
ly like Medford, its people and
the treatment tendered, for they
are coming back here this
spring for the fourth time to
conduct a tryout camp for
young baseball players.
Mickey Shader, who was ,tn
charge of the 1940 camp, will
supervise this year's five-day
session at the high school park
June 3 to 7, Inclusive, and
writes that "I surely hope the
Medford camp is a success, as
your city Is one of my favorite
spots."
The camp will ba like all
others sponsored by the Reds
baseball club. Players should
be between the ages of 17 and
21 and furnish their own unl
forms, gloves and shoes. Those
displaying potential major
league ability will be tendered
contracts with one of Cincin
nati's minor league clubs.
In a "notice to players" on
enrollment blanks for the 1042
camp, Frank C. Lane, vice pres
ident of Cincinnati's minor
league clubs, explains:
"Do not confuse these try
out camps with the so-called
baseball schools. While dur
ing the course of the tryouts
some instruction Is glren by
the supervisors, still our pri
mary objective is to enroll
only those baseball players
between the ages of 17 and 21
who are deemed as being
outstanding players in their
respective communities and,
as such, qualified to enter
. professional baseball. No tui
tion is charged by us for en
rollment. We furnish bats and
baseballs. You are to bring
your own uniform, glove and
baseball shoes.".
The Reds plan to hold 26 of
these camps in the west this
spring and summer. Two will
be held in Oregon, in Medford
and in Eugene June 12 to 16.
Inclusive. Players desiring to en
roll in the Medford camp may
obtain blanks from this writer
at any time.
J. Russell Acheson, football,
basketball and track coach at
Medford high, and Norm Worth
ley, athletic mentor of Junior
high, will be among those pres
ent locally for awhile yet, any

Coast Conference Eases
COMPROilEACT
CANCELS 1-YEAR
:nda:
Atherton May Have Salary
Chopped In Retrenchment
Program Code .Stands.
By Call Fowler
Portland, Ore., March 2S UP)
With financial retrenchment
and expanded physical fitness
programs the main themes. Pa
cific Coast conference officials
went into the final sessions of
their emergency wartime meet
ing here today.
That the conference will
make some effort at retrench
ment was seen in the prediction
of one source that Conference
Commissioner Edwin Atherton
would be signed for 1943 "but
with a cut in salary and operat
ing expenses."
Atherton's present contract
terminates Dec. 31, 1942, and
calls for $10,000 salary and
$10,000 for office expense. Ath
erton had recommended some
slashes could be made, it was
understood, and the conference
faculty representatives likely
will take him up on It.
In line with physical fitness,
the conference last night eased
restrictions on freshman partici
pation in varsity athletics in
what amounted to a compro
mise.
The faculty men voted down
a proposal to allow freshmen to
enter varsity competition Imme
diately -on enrollment. Then
they voted to allow the frosh to
become eligible without wait
ing a full-calendar year, as they
had to do previously. The pres
ent requirement of 24 semester
hours or 36 quarter-hours was
retained.
Fits Academic Picture
Now it will be possible for a
freshman entering school In
January to be eligible for foot
ball in September, and a basket
ball player, entering In June,
could be eligible in January,
provided, of course, he got in
the required number of hours
In consecutive terms.
One reason for relaxing the
freshman rule was to fit the
athletic picture more closely to
the academic picture. The south
ern division schools intend a
speedup educational program
whereby a student can get
through school in three years
instead of four by going to
school constantly, summer and
all. .
The faculty men, meeting
until 11:30 last night, only re
laxed In the case of the frosh,
however.
They refused to relax present
Atherton code restrictions on
alumni contacting prospective
students of known athletic abil
ity. And they also declined to
permit a further moratorium to
northern division schools on the
requirement, adopted last June,
that each student must pay the
first $63 of his tuition himself.
The requirement already was in
effect in the southern division,
but northern division schools
were granted an extra year to
put the program into effect.
Officials took time out to act
favorably on a request of Stan
lord that the Stanford basket
ball team be permitted to play
the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station team at Chicago March
30 Stanford plays Dartmouth
thi' weekend for the national
cr , cite hoop championship.

Reds Have Great Pitching,
No Hitting; Outfield Weak
By Cayl
Tampa, Fla., March 25 (ft
out of a .300 hitting outfielder
Reds will have to start another
blight Insufficient hitting to
In baseball, possibly barring th
Nobody can accuse General
Manager Warren Giles of not'
having tried, even though Cin
cinnati fans are reported becom
ing very restless about outfield
ers to stock a farm system.
They practically need a revolv
ing door on Crosley field to take
care of the hungry horde. Yet
the Reds are as far from having
a big league outfield now as
they ever were. Theirs Is a
gloomy training camp this
spring.
To give an Idea of the situa
tion: The team's star outfielder
Is Mike McCormick. At least, he
Is the only man sure of his job.
And while Mike is an exception
ally gifted fly-chaser, he batted
.285 last sis son and drove in
only 28 runs.
Regard, too. the other hold
overs from last year, with their
batting averages: Harry I raft.
.249: Jim Gleason, .283; Ival
Goodman, .268; Ernie Koy, .241.
That tells the unhappy story of
the Reds, and explains why they
scarcely can be expected to fin
Ish higher than third in the Na
tlonal league again this season.
Their only hope lies in the pos
slbllity that Hank Saner, who
clouted .330 for Birmingham
last year and drove in 114 runs,
will do somewhere near thai
well against big league pitching
So Giles, in his desperate
effort to get batting strength
while his pitching staff still is
hot as a pistol, has been forced
to take a chance on almost any
outfielder put on the market
At the moment there Is reason
to believe he could obtain Joe
Medwick from Brooklyn, but
he would have to give up one
of his top pitchers probably
Elmer Riddle and there Is no
assurance that Joe would help
the Reds. It is a mean problem.

I ABE SIMON PLANS
JOE FRIDAY EVE
By Sid Feder
Summit, N. J., March 25. fP
An army travels on its stom
ach, and since Joe Louis is in
the army, Abe Simon's battle
plan for Friday night's fuss In
Madison Square Garden Is to
bang away at Joe's tummy to
see how far It can travel.
Large Able gave the tip-off
on this stunt today as he wound
up training ior the 15-round
rowdy-de-dow for the army
emergency relief benefit. Sim
ply, he plans to charge the
Bomber into the ropes right
from the word go and work on
that mid-section until something
happens.
At least, Abie is going Into
the ring with that Idea in mind.
What Joe will do about It Is a
horse from a different garage
altogether. Joe's funny that
way.
But that isn't worrying the
Long Iflend dreadnaught a bit,
because Simon predicted flatly
today that Simon would win.
"And what's more," he added
for the benefit of a gasping aud
ience, "if the opportunity pre
sents itself, I'll even knock Joe
out."
This Is like saying you'd take
the U. S. mint if someone hand
ed it over on a platter. In
things like the mint and Joe's
heavy-weight championship, op
portunity usually doesn't even
knock one little tiny knock.
UNKNOWRTOLFER
TALK OFJpy
Pinehurst, N. C, March 25.
VP) Les Kennedy, 24, unem
ployed son of a Lynn, Mass.,
policeman, was the talk of this
resort town today as a result of
his par-wrecking 66 in the
north and south open golf cham
pionship. The unassuming youngster,
with a sun-peeled nose and a
shock of sunburned hair stick
ing out of his topless eyeshade
cap, was the man nobody knew
for most of yesterday, but when
the day was dying and the pres
sure was on, the kid who had
never won a tournament or
come close, blasted champiorj
Sammy Snead and ex-champion
Ben Hogan out of the lead.
He never batted an eye as
he three-putted the 16th green.
He just moved over to number
17 and batted out a birdie
deuce. He showed no trace of
emotion as he missed the 18th
green, and was impassive when
his long putt for a par four
rolled wide on the cup by two
inches.
