Hal Turpin Blanks Oakland, 4-0 as Seattle Opens Home Season,,

By the Associated Pfmi
It'i been a good many yean
since Hal Turpin, the Oregon
farm boy, exchanged hit denimi
lor a Seattle baseball uniform,
but never has he plied his adopt
ed trade to better effect than
now.
That Is an encompassing state
ment, for consistently in seasons
past, Turpin has achieved the
king of pitching records to pro
voke unconcealed mouth-watering
on the part of rival club
owners.
Two years ago, for. Instance,
he won 23 games for his team.
Last year the showing was 20
against six losses for the high
est pitching percentage among
the Coast leagues fulltimers
nd the second lowest earned
run average.
Yet it looks as if the best is
Still to come, so far this season
Turp has pitched four times and
won four. Ten days ago against
Los Angeles he turned in the
league's only non-hitter of re
cent record.
And last night he blanked the
Oakland Acoms, 4-0, to the de
light of roughly 12,800 first
night Seattleites, the loop's larg
est single congregation of the
year to date.
Regains Lead
Not only were the first nlght
ers edified by Turpln's perform
ance but also by its result. The
victory pushed the Ralniers
back into first place ahead of
the Oaks, whose Jack Salveson
struck out more and walked
fewer players than Turpin but
weakened in the two middle in-,
nlngs to give Seattle all its
runs.
Turpin started a bit fuzzily,
allowing a pair of hits in each
of the first two frames, but
when this failed to result In seri
ous damage ha settled down to
his task and gave out only three
more safeties the rest of the
way.
From them and their strato
spheric percentages, you drop
directly to Hollywood and Los
Angeles, which Jointly straddle
the .800 mark, the former thru
Its 10-innlng, 8-7 loss to Port
land last night, the latter by
virtue of its 7-1 victory over
Sacramento.
Still lower In the scale but
not by much and apparently on
the upgrade after three succes
sive wins comes San Diego. The
Padres licked San Francisco, 8-2
last night.
Herman Homsrs
At Portland, Hollywood's
Babe Herman cracked a ninth
Inning home run with a team
mate ahead to wipe out the ad
vantage the Beavers had held
almost uninterruptedly since
the second, but in the tenth
Manuel Perez, the Stars' right
handed recruit, balked with the
bases loaded and Marv Owen
marched home with the winning
run.
Elmer Singleton, who pitched
only the extra Inning and faced
five batters In all, got credit for
the victory.

tional swimming meet here this week-end.
The matter of defending
couple of national champion
ships is routine for the Multno
mah Athletic club lassies who
proved that beauty In a bathing
suit doesn't always have to be
posing on the edge of a pool.
What the Portland girls want
most Is to set a nair of new
American records. And to do
It they'll have to outsneed the
best that can be offered by the
Florence Chambers Swimmins
club of San Diego, Calif., and the
Washington Athletic club of
Seattle, Wash.
With no national meet .rh.rf.
uled this year because of the
war, the 440 freestyle and the
400 freestyle relay events are
being held here the home of
the defending titlists.
The oueen of Coarh .Inric
Cody's bevy Is Nancy Merkl.
holder of most of the women's
outdoor freestyle records from
200 yards to a mile, who won
the national championship In the
440 indoor last year. She'd like
nothing better than to crack the
American record of five minutes
29.9 seconds made outdoorr by
naiina lomsjl i uilis, Lhlcago.
And Cody's relav team w.mM
go for shaving a few seconds off
the American record of 4:12 4
they set last year at Buffalo.

BALANCED FIELD
SET FOR OPENING
OF- DRAKE RELAYS
Des Moines, la., April 23 UP)
Although many schools have
trimmed their sports budgets
for wartime eccnomy, officials
of the Drake rel'iys opening to
morrow report the games have
drawn a field as well-balanced
as any In their 33-year history.
Spectator interest also is high.
F. L. Turby, ticket manager,
said advance sales were 10 per
cent above the ten-year average
and approaching last year's all
time high.
Top attraction on tomorrow's
program, which in addition to
nine university and college fin
als has many preliminaries and
high school finals, will be the
university sprint medley, the
event which produced a world
record of 3:23.2 by the Univer
sity of Texas last year.
Only one 1941 member, Mac
Umstattdt, the anchor man, is
running this year for the Texans
but they're the pre-meet favor
ites. In their only race this year
they turned in a 3:28:1 mark.
The event is an invitational
affair and the Longhorns will
get their rivalry from Oklah
ma, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre
Dame and Purdue,

TIGER THINCLADS
EYE YREKA MEET
Unable to schedule Oregon
competition for his Medford
high track team, Coach Russ
Acheson has mailed entries to
officials of the Yreka invita
tional meet set for Saturday.
However, Tiger entry remains
speculative since the event is of
invitational nature and Medtora
participation Is yet to be con
firmed by the California school.
If Medford is accepted, Acheson
will take at least 11 men with
a few others going providing
transportation can be arranged.
Definite plans have been made
by the Tigers to compete in the
Southern Oregon-Northern Cali
fornia meet at Klamath Falls
on Friday, May 1. The event,
whicn has been handled by the
Lions' club, was moved up from
a date later in May.
Acheson is making prepara
tions for conducting the district
meet here on May 9.

George Eads Misses
300 Game by Single
Pin in Keg Contest
Just one pin, which failed to
tor pie on the 12th ball, pre
vented George Eads from enter
ing bowling's hall of fame with
a perfect 300 game in a chal
lenge doubles match at the
Medford alleys last night.
Eads registered 11 strikes In
a row, but his 12th fling was a
little light in the pocket and
the five-pin was left standing.
Even though he didn't get that
300-game his 299 score was the
highest single tally ever bowled
in Medford under league condi
tions; new pins and a foul man
making the match official.
Eads' lofty score, coupled with
the 211 game rolled by his
partner, Charles Adair, com
bined to produce a new record
doubles score of 510 in their
match with Dick Porterfield
and Earl Sims.
