DEFINITE THREAT
TO
S'
Brownies Expected To Add
Spirit To American Chase
By Gayle Talbot
Tampa, Fla., April 2. (AP) This is getaway week in the
baseball training camps, and as the sun-tanned athletes hit the
exhibition trail leading to opening day on April 14 there is talk
of only one team that might possibly Inject a little pepper into
an otherwise unpromising Yankee-dominated American league
race. That club is the St. Louis Browns.
Every manager who has met
the Browns this spring says they
are a good, fast outfit that
'might cause a lot of trouble."
A couple of pilots, whose opin
ion the writer respects highly
ray that Luke Scwell's outfit is
a cinch to climb into the first
division. It was one of the three
teams in the American league
to play better than .500 ball
after Decoration day last season.
the others being the Yankees
and Washington.
Here is the order, then, In
which the coming war-time cam
paign might wind up:
(1) New York, (2) Chicago
(3) Boston, (4) St. Louis, (5)
Cleveland, (8) Detroit, (7) Wash
ington, (8) Philadelphia.
The Yankees, winners last
year by a lop-sided 17 games.
are fundamentally so much bet
ter than any other team in the
Junior circuit that there ' is no
real comparison. Sure, they
haven't been looking like world
champions this spring, so what?
By mid-summer they will have
some rival club owners pining
secretly for a split season.
The Chicago White Sox. who
were third last year with exactly
a .500 average appear to have
the pitching to boost them up
to second place this time, say
about 25 games off the pace
If they make it. then the loud
and persistent group which in
sists that Jimmy Dykes Is the
greatest manager In the world
not barring even Joe McCarthy
will have to be listened to
with new respect.
Sockeye Jack McDonald won't
appear in the Medford armory
grappling ring next Monday
night as expected, but Promoter
Mack Lillard has lined up an
excellent card, nevertheless; one
that will Include two brand-new

TIGERS PLAY AT
ME FRIDAY
i urns, Ariz., April iz.
Frankie Frisch'a Pittsburgh Pir
ates of 1942, boasting new club
record with 18 victories in 20
exhibition games, are shaping
up as definite threat to the
National league supremacy of
the Cardinals and Dodgers.
If the Bucs click during the
regular season like they're click
ing now, the hard-driving "Ford
ham Flash" has a fine chance to
make good on his attempt to
give Pittsburgh a pennant-winning
team In three years.
Buying here and trading
there, Frish has created almost
a brand new club, as only six
of the 28 players on the 1039
roster of former Manager Pie
Traynor are still around.
Frisch's foundlings emerged in
fourth place In 1940 and 1941
as the process of team-building
went on. Then the Flash ac
quired some material which
seems to be all the Pirates
needed greater batting power
and a tighter infield.
A large chunk of the new Pir
ate power came from the Dodg
ers which would make a bitter
pill for the Brooklyn champs
should the Bucs dethrone them.

iP) With an eye on the first
Pan-American games, which Ar

vember, more than 100 of the
greatest swimmers and divers In
this country anxiously awaited
today the start of the three-day
National A.A.U. championships
in Yale's swanky natatorium.
The lure of a probable trip
to South America has provided
an added incentive to the aqua
tic aces who have flocked here
to compete for 11 titles, one
more than usual. The victors
are almost certain choices should
the United States send a swim

defense of his title In the 72-hnle
Land of the Sky open.
Hogan, for all his icy nerve,
feels under pressure as much as
any man playing golf; and he's
been under it so much that he
feels the difference when It is
off. Leading the North-South
last week by a wide margin.
Hogan took sixes on number 10
both rounds of the final day.
He was so far ahead that he
couldn't concentrate. "I had to
shake myself on the eleventh
tee to get rid of the letdown,"
he said. The result In the after
noon was a birdie three on the
next hole.
Today the pressure was on
again, because Belting Ben was
the favorite and defending
champion.

CANDIDATE GEARY
IS NATIVE SON OF
JACKSON COUNTY
Arthur M. Geary of Portland,
who recently filed his declara
tion for the Republican nomina
tion for United States senator,
is native son of Jackson
county and spent his early life
in this city. He is the son of
a pioneer physician. Dr. E. H.
Geary, and is widely known in
southern Oregon.
Geary says that according to
the state-wide straw vote which
he has taken, the majority of
Oregon citizens desire that Sen
ator Charles L. McNary be de
feated for reelection, and that
"if the election were tomorrow"
they would vote for him (Geary)
in preference to Senator McNary.
"My life-long specialty has '
been ocean, rail and highway
transportation, and my life-long
specialty has not been 'politics,
'fence-straddling' and 'vote-getting',"
continues eGary.
"My repeated visits to and
study of many foreign and do
mestic ports and their facilities
should make me helpful in cop
ing with transportation, our
chief -bottleneck' In winning this
war.
"At this time it Is highly im
portant that the congress display
itself more by action than by
words. Delay In debate and fail
ure to take prompt and definite
stands Invite further disaster."
