Wrestling attendance hasn't picked up in Medford like Pro moter Mack Lillard hoped . . . a possible explanation, offered by Jerry Jerome, member of the boxing and wrestling com mission, is that workmen on the cantonment haven't yet be come settled enough to lay aside money for amusements.

We are pulling heart and soul for little Del Schroer to stick with the Salem Senators, but rather question his ability to hit Western International league pitching . . . one thing though, Del is probably a good enough defensive infielder to offset to some extent any weak ness he might show at the plate for Charley Petersen s club. An unnamed southern coach, when he heard the suggestion of Rollie Williams. Iowa cage mentor, that the backboards be eliminated to relieve the game of blocking, holding and rough play around the baskets, re torted: "Why don't they play without a ball up there and save everybody for the dance? If they applied the same idea to football, maybe Chicago would try again. Babe Herman Is doubling for Cary Cooper in the hit ting sequences of th Lou Gehrig picture, and be likes it . . .

The best season Dutch Lieber had in professional baseball was in 1933, when he won 21 and dropped 13 for the old San Francisco Missions ... he spent seven years with that club, was with the Philadelphia A's in 1934, 1935 and part of 1936, with Los Angeles the latter part of '36 until part of '39, and finished the '39 season with Bir mingham of the Southern Association, BOWLING "Everything Will Be All Right," Says Marse Joe; First Base Lone Change.

Veteran Dies On Tour of Coast Ventura, Cal., March 27. (IP) James A. Mills, 58, veteran Association Press foreign staf fer, died this morning In Foster Memorial hospital. He suffered a stroke yesterday. Mills was stricken ill In Tokyo three years ago, and had been in poor health since. He came here 10 days ago with his brother, Tom. They had been on an automobile tour of the Pacific coast. By Cayla Talbot St. Petersburg, Fla., March 27 (eP) The world champion New York Yankees continue to look terrible in spring training, giving rise to the faint hope among rival American league clubs that the "big fellows" will not make a complete mock ery of the approaching race. What with the war and every thing else, that would be almost too much. It would almost appear that Manager Joe McCarthy shares a similar hope; that he would like to give his rivals a fighting chance and maybe even get a thrill or two out of the thing himself. He is making no great effort to whip his sleeping giants into mid-season form, but is permitting them to come along slowly and easily. "Everything will be all right", he says placidly. "After all, this is the same club that won the world series from Brooklyn in five games." It is not exactly the same club that won last year's race by 17 full games over the Bos ton Red Sox, but it probably is just as good. The only change for sure is at first base, where Buddy Hassett, from the Boston Braves, has replaced Johnny Sturm, gone to the army. Has sett is not quite the fancy field er that Sturm was, but he is a little better hitter. Rolfe Doubtful Red Rolfe doesn't know, him self, whether he can hold down his third base job. The colitis that made him miserable much of last season and which per mitted him to play through the world series only on sheer nerve, has let up a little and he has worked out for the past tour days. . That means that Gerald Prid- dy almost surely will start the campaign at the hot corner, although it is doubtful the boy from Kansas City can last, whether Rolfe returns or not, Priddy still shows no signs of hitting a lick, and it would not be surprising to see the veteran shortstop, Frankie Crosetti, at third before long. Outs:de of those two spots, the Yankees are the same mur derous outfit. They still have the game's greatest player, Joe DiMaggio, in centerfield, it's greatest catcher. Bill Dickey, and its greatest second-baseman, Joe Gordon. They still have the awesome Charlie Keller in left field, and a pitching staff so good that it was almost over looked last year in the face of the team s general excellence.
