New York. April 18 (U.R) If coming events cast their sha dows before them in the 1945 baseball season, it's going to be a rough year for the pitchers. In direct contrast to the him opening day games, the pitchers took It hard and .heavy yester day with only five of the to starters managing to stick It out to the finish. There were 77 nits In each league as compared with only 38 doled out by National League flingers in the 1944 open ing games and S9 by American Leaguers. The batters made iz nome runs, two wltn tne Dases loaoea Seven were hit in the National where the batters didn't get any in 1944 openings and five in the American as compared with three a year ago. Production ol runs was al most on an assembly line basis in some parks and the 49 scored in the American League contrasted with only 13 a year ago. Thjre were 45 in the National against only 13 on the first day of 1944. The most telling nomer oi me day was delivered by Russ Der- of the Yankees, coming wun the bases loaded in the seventh and capping a seven run rally which netted an 8 to victory . over the Boston Red Sox.

Ml meaiora nign school spent oio to iaKe 1W district cham plonship basketball team to the state tournament in Salem in March and when the dividing-up was unisned, Medford was paid $210, Medford Coach Al Simp son revealed the other day. Crowds were turned away evsry night but still, after cuts were taken out, there wasn't enough left to divide for Medford to break even. If the state hlah school bas ketball tournament, which is sponsored annually by the Oregon High School Activities association and put on by Wil lamette University, can't take in enough money in the Wil lamette gym to pay expenses for competing teams, we feel it is high time it is being moved to a larger gvmmtlum. Competing schools should at least break even. We haven't seen the official figures on the dribble whoopee yet but figures Bn the state foot ball championship played last December are enough to con vince us there Is strong hint of exploiting high school play ers for financial gain some place along the line. The grid olassic drew a gross gate of $7,525.20 with Medford and LaGrande getting $632 each for drawing the crowd. Stadium rental took 251 and other expenses took $3,433.03. Medford and La Grande split $2,528 but the OHSAA grabbed off 50 of that In other words, schools which sponsor the teams and draw the crowds are not coming out with what seems to us a fair cut of the greenbacks. Way back in history Wll lamttte University originated the state tournament but in more recent years the OHSAA took it over and made it offi cial. The thing has evidently grown too big for Willamette'! britches so should be moved to larger - quarters whe enough dough can be netted to pay. expens'i of competing teams. We would sugest alter.
