Billy Hulctt Says:
3 Local Youths
Playing Ball At
Oregon Colleges
Terrible Showing of Yanks Makes Other Clubs Hopeful
Three former local American
Legion Junior baseball players
are candidates for freshmen
teams at the University of Ore
gon and Oregon State college
. . . . Mickey Miller, big first
baseman, turned cut for the
OSC Rook nine this week, and
Johnny Gitzen, second-baseman
and Bill Reed, righihanded
pitcher, dittoed for the Duck
ling club at Eugene.
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.
Round four, Louis, is I.
Pickem's peerless pick oa to
night's picnic involving the
champ and Abe Simon, the
altitudinous American Alp
. . . the Medford Athletic as
sociation has informed the
army that the fairgrounds
park will be available tor use
by the soldiers of the canton
ment except on Wednesday
and Saturday nights and Sun
day afternoons, which will be
devoted to Crater baseball (it
Is hoped).
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 . . . "Four weeks of hitting
nothing but home runs." he
announced with a grin . . .
Buck Newsom. big Detroit
righthander who received
S32.S00 last year and Is being
offered SI 2.500 for this seas
on, may be sold before the
season opens . . . Newsom
won't sign and Detroit won't
even talk about 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,

FIVE INJURED IN
LAB E
Pasadena, Cal., March 27.
OP At least five persons were
hurt, one probably fatally, by
an explosion today in a Call
fornia Institute of Technology
laboratory.
Hospital attendants said H. B.
Roby of Taft, Cal., was blown
out of the building, all his cloth
ing except his shoes bumed off.
His condition was described as
"very critical.
A. P. 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.
