Billy Hulen Says:
Schroer Possible
Salem Shortstop
Writer Predicts
Del Schroer, th little fellow
who played 10 much shortrtop
(or last season'! State league
Craters, Is seen by Al Ughtner
of the Salem Statesman as hav
ing the inside track for that
position with the Western In
ternational league Senators . . .
Al should know of what he
speaks, for he Is an ex-Senator
himself and plenty baseball
wise , . .
Willard (Call Me Bill) Smith,
one of the Crater pitchers last
year, who spent the winter
throwing In a San Francisco
winter circuit. Is In Spokane
trying out with the Indians . . .
Cato Wray, Black Tornado grid
flash, would like to attend Uni
versity of Southern California
...and Fred Ounnette, ex-Tiger
eager who played with Sacra
ento Junior college the past
season, would like to transfer
to Stanford.
Coach Alex McDonald of
the Medford high nine says
Don Fawcett, second base
man, is faster on double plays
than any youngster he's ever
seen . . Paul (Bernle) Berna
don, veteran Klamath Falls
pastlmer. has been named co
manager of the Oregon-California
league Pelicans . . .
Bernle will assist Ernie
Bishop, who won't be able to
be with the club every game.
Bather a nasty piece it was
that Prescott Sullivan of the
Frisco Examiner wrote In com
menting on Klamath Falls' in
vitation to coast conference col
leges that they play some of
their grid games in Klamath
next fall In order to get out of
the 5,000-crowd restriction lone
. . . Sullivan remarked that
Klamath Falli had never turn
ed out 6,000 persons for any
thing . . . we've seen that many,
and more, at high school foot
ball games "over the mountain."
Although salmon are coming
In freely at the mouth of the
Rogue river, the big run of
Chlnooks has not yet reached
the Grants Pass section of the
stream, but la expected shortly,
according to Joe Wharton...
Al Fleishman, who lives In
Grants Pass, had his first work
out with the Craters last Sun
day . . . the clever first-baseman
looks in good shape for the
coming campaign.
The B u d g e-Perry-K o v a e s,
Rlggs pro tennis tour has crack
ed up on the rocks of poor at
tendance and travel difficulties
. . . Four California high schools
solved the transportation prob
lem recently by staging a re
mote control track meet, each
running and jumping on its
home track and exchanging re
sults by mall.
Bosnia's Ralnlors, h o m e

We think it would be appro
priate, nice, and a good idea in
general if the fairgrounds ball

except that county fairs used to
be held there, or something . . .
boys, how about calling your

Early season dopesters picked
Portland to wind up far behind
In the Pacific Coast league base
ball race, but the Beavers keep
right on winning games.
Led by the powerful willow
work of First Sacker Frankie
Hawkins, Portland walloped
Los Angeles, 7 to 4, in an ex
tended inning contest that
marked the opening of the sea
son In Los Angeles yesterday.
Hawkins twice put the Beav
ers Into the lead, first when he
homed In the eighth to score a
runner ahead of himself and
again In the tenth when he
broke a 4 to 4 tie with a long fly
against the left field fence that
scored a run. In all, Hawkins
batted In four tallies.
The Beavers' win over the
Angels, put the Portlanders
right up there behind the league
leading Seattle Rainlers, who
have played two and won two.

of the Coast league race for the
past three years and expected to
repeat, had no trouble winning
from San Diego. 7 to 1, last
night in the southern city.

league game of the year, lost a
close one when Hugh Luby of

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.

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.

Mack Has Hopes for
A's Despite Dearth
Of Capable Hurlers
Wichita Falls, Tex., April 8.
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.

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."
