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.

March and when the dividing-up

$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'!
