SATURDAY GAME

team representing Portland.
By Hank Green
Green's confectionery team of
Mcdford left little doubt in the
minds of basketball fans last
night that it was the better quin
tet among Mcdford area AAU
teams as it rallied in the second
half to wallop the Rogue River
(own team 68 to 46 at the senior
high gym.
Rogue River started like a
house afire to run up a 14 to 11
first quarter lead nnd hold the
confectionery quintet on almost
" even terms in the last quarter.
However, the Green's learn
, rapped in 40 points to 15 for the
' Rogues in the middle quarters
to help Win.
The game started slowly with
' neither team showing too much
In the way of accuracy but a big
. tall fellow by the name of Hun
' toon for Rogue River display
ing good coordination and bas-
' kct - making ability under the
, other basket. .
i Fouled Out Late
I Had this fellow not fouled out
. In the last half the score might
: well have, been closer than it
i was.
, Green's showed again that it
can outrun- most opponents and
f It did so In that last half, indi
cating the players are in good
l shape and although the storemcn
;, lack height, can give an oppo
: nent a rough time by just out
running him.
' The victorious quintet lacked
the services of its high-scoring
ace Tex Gatlln but still others
came through In the clinch to
' help the cause. Palmer joined
!lhe squad once again to push in
12 points and Busack and Wer
ner each got 11 for high scorers
' among the locals.
Rogues Take Lead
; The score at the first quarter
.favored Rogue River 14 to 11,
at the half Green's was ahead
29 to 22 and at t'le third qinr
her pause the confectionery team
had gone out in front Bl lo 2D.
First game of the evening saw
Fleischman's Lumber enter the
district playoff finals by down
ing the Grants Pass Leghn qi.in
tet 44 to 41 after the half time
score was tied 19 to ID.

Dodgers Sign
Two Pitchers
For Big Club
New York. Feb. 22 (U.R)
Branch Rickey, the shrewd,
bushy-browed boss of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, today struck
back at charges that he paid
"coolie wages," claiming that
his team is as high-salaried as
any In baseball.
In announcing the signings oi
Pitchers Preacher Roe, the club's
ace left-hander, and Clem La
bine, rookie right-hander, Rick
ey disclosed that his 1950 team
win be the highest paia in
Brooklyn history and cited two
arguments in defense of his sal
ary policies.
No Holdouts Cited
The 67-ycar-old Rickey said
that since he became president
of the Dodgers in 1943, the club
never had a holdout and never
cut a player's salary until this
season.
Rickey admitted, however,
that two players were asked to
take pay cuts for 1950 and that
one of them probably would be
come the Dodgers' first serious
holdout in eight seasons.
He did not identify the play
ers, but the two offered pay
slashes were believed to be
Catcher Bruce Edwards and
Pitcher Rex Barney. And since
Edwards came to term's yester
day along with outfielder Carl
Furillo, the lone recalcitrant
appeared to be Barney,
