Writers Pick Yanks To Win Flag Again; Boston Second New York, April 8 VP) The very best handicappers in the baseball business today tabbed the New York Yankees as a shoo-in for the American league pennant and the Boston Red Sox to nip the Chicago White Sox for second. And if the Yanks, by some chance or other, should miss grabbing their second straight junior circuit championship their sixth )n seven years there will be an exceptional collection of red faces among the baseball writers as 73 of the 76 voting in the annual Associated Press poll couldn't see the Bronx Bombers anywhere but on top. Of the other three, two placed the Yanks second and the other third. The three top ballots the Yanks didn't get were split two to the White Sox (by Gene Kessler, Chicago Times, and Dave Hoff, AP Chicago) and one to the Red Sox (Burt Whitman, Boston Herald). On a basis of eight points for a first-place vote, seven for a second, six for a third, etc., the Yanks piled up 604 points four less than perfection. A photo finish, on the other hand, was forecast for the runner-up spot, with the Red Sox getting the call, 488 to 482, de spite the two first-place ballots for Jimmy Dykes dandies. In predicting a duplicate of the 1941 pennant finish, the writers gave Boston 39 second place votes to 31 for the White Sox. The field was well spread out behind the top three, with the ballotting generally following the finish of last year's race. Cleveland and Detroit wound up In a fourth-place tie last year. This time, the Indians were picked up for the spot with 341 points, and the Tigers polled 309 to head the second division. BLOW BY PETERS BEATS BEARCATS Corvallls, April 8. (JP) The Oregon State college baseball team choked off a late Willam ette university rally yesterday to defeat the Bearcats for the third straight time, 5 to 4. Trailing, 5-1, Willamette turn ed two hits and a couple of Ore gon State errors into three runs in the ninth Inning before Pitcher Warren Simas settled down to retire the side. Oregon State scored the win ning runs in the sixth inning, scoring three times on two singles, an error and a double by Norm Peters. Score: R. H. E. Willamette 4 6 4 Oregon State 5 9 2 Hanauska and Bennett; Simas and Amacher. At the TRAINING CAMPS (By the Associated Press) Lexington, Ky. After watch ing the feeble efforts of his Boston Red Sox against the Cin cinnati Reds yesterday at Louis ville, Manager Joe Cronln sent all his players to the famous bat factory for new supplies. They will use them this after noon against the same Reds. Winston Salem, N. C. The Detroit Tigers resumed their series with the St. Louis Card inals today on the home lot of their Piedmont farm club and hoped to rack up victory No. 2 against the National leaguers with Al Benton on the mound. The Tigers have won only one of seven games from the cards. Baltimore The New York Yankees, famous for their hit ting, aren't bad at fielding either. The Rizzuto-Gordon com bination at second last year helped set a double play record and this spring 39 double kill ings have been perpetrated In 29 contests. Augusta, G a. Righthander Sid Hudson has qualified for the assignment as opening game pitcher against the New York Yankees at Washington next Tuesday, Bucky Harris has de cided. The Senator flinger held the Philadelphia Phils to five hits and one run in seven inn ings yesterday. The electric eel, found In the rivers of Brazil, attains a length of six feet.

W Disappointed with his pitchers, Connie Mack neverthe less believes his Philadelphia Athletics "will be all right" this season. "I feel that I am going to have a pretty fair ball club this year, one that with good pitch ing will hold its own with any team in our league," the 79- year-old pilot predicted. The A's finished In last place in 1941. The pitchers who have weak ened Connie's hopes are Dick Fowler, Fred Caligiurl and Bill Beckman. The first two showed much promise last fall. Mack pointed out, but have been hit hard this spring and Beckman has been murdered. "The way it looks now," he said, "my starters will have to be Jack Knott, Phil Marchildon Russ Christopher and Herman Besse. I'm going to keep Lum Harris and Rog Wolff for relief to save games if we are ahead. Most pleasing thing to Mack about his 1942 edition Is his in field. He's satisfied with his starting selections and has faith in his reserves. BOWLING Ladles' league results last night: Tollr's Ollroort 4. Valentine's C, Walnacott's 3.

Bui a shir$ in Americ with Deftnst Bands THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPAN1 145 North Bartlett Phone 2101 Angels, PGA OFFICIAL HOT WORD BATTLE By Gayle Talbot Augusta, Ga., April 8. It is difficult to say which is at tracting more attention around the wisteria-scented clubhouse of the Augusta national golf course the tee-off tomorrow in prob ably the last masters tourna ment until after the war or the wordy battle going on between Gene Sarazen of the old guard and Freddy Corcoran of the P.G.A. Freddy already had enough on his mind, what with having spent two days and nights try ing to shoe-horn his competitors into a hotel filled to the scuppers with army officers and war workers. Many of golfdom's leading lights even now are not sure that they have lodgings un til the tournaments ends Sunaay. So the tournament director and publicity chief of the P.G.A. undoubtedly was not at his best last night when Sarazen sailed into him in public for having encouraged good-natured Sammy Snead to play a couple of prac tice holes bare-footed. Corcoran had done it principally as a lark, by way of demonstrating the ver satility of one of his star per formers, but Sarazen, who still wears knickers and has his own deep-rooted ideas about golf and its traditions, was outraged. "What's the big idea?" he railed at the already smoldering Corcoran. "Is that your idea of publicity for the masters mak ing a Huckleberry Finn out of Snead? What we need these days is masters, not barefoot boys. Can you imagine Walter Hagen playing barefoot on this course? "Snead can stand on his rec ord," snapped Corcoran. "I'll match him barefoot against you, for money." ' Yes, and 1 11 stand on my record," Gene retorted. "I've won all the big tournaments, in cluding this one, and I won them wearing shoes not kilts or Boy Scout uniforms. Maybe Sam nad better win something with shoes on before he tries stunts like this." Gate Receipts Will Sustain Sports Card Jackson, Miss., April 8.
