February 27. 1950 I Bruins Win Southern Hoop Crown San Francisco, Feb. 27 (U.R) The UCLA Bruins, fresh from a pair of northern California tri umphs over the week-end, held the southern division crown of the Pacific Coast conference bas ketball race for the second year In a row today. The exultant Bruins went home yesterday after defeating California, 46 to 44, Friday night, and edging Mnndford 62 to 57 Saturday. At the same time, their northern opponents helped out their cause by beat ing their closest rivals, the USC Trojans. Trojans Lose Two The Trojans lost to Stanford, 60 to 57, Friday, and to Cali fornia, 60 to 58. the next night. The next southern division games for UCLA will be this week-end's "civil war" series with USC, but they will not change the Bruins' three-game bulge in the standings. It is the second championship in a row for Bruin Coach John W. Oden, who came to Westwood in 1948. Neari Scoring Title The series between UCLA and USC will tell whether (JSC's for ward, Bill Sharman, will be able to break the PCL scoring record of 232 points set 10 years ago by Stanford's Hank Luisetti. Shar man has looped in 204 points to date and needs only 29 points to go. So far. he has averaged bet ter than 20 points a game this season. A "civil war" series in north ern California will see Stanford trying to climb out of the divi sion cellar. California holds a one-game lead over the Indians, but the Bears conceivably could relinquish it this week-end.

AT YOUR FORD Al YOUR FORD Jack Kramer Burns Over Transfer From -Red Sox to Giants New York, Feb. 27 ;U.PJ Pitcher Jack Kramer, burning over his transfer from the Red Sox to the Giants, fired a blister ing broadside at ex-Manager Joe McCarthy today, who he claimed prevented him from going to the champion Yankees. "That McCarthy is the most ornery man I know," fumed the handsome 32-year-old right-hander over the telephone from his New Orleans home. "I know for a fact that Yankees offered sev eral players for me a few. weeks ago but McCarthy said nothing doing. Personal Grudge "Ht railroaded me out of the American league only because he had a personal grudge against me. McCarthy's just plain vindi cative. When you re winning, he's' all for. you; when you're not going so well, he avoids you like you got a disease. "He knew I had a sore arm last year but he didn't care. He conveniently forgot all about the 18 games I won for him in 1948." Kramer, who had a lackluster six-and-eight record with the Red Sox last year, was waived out of the American league yes terday and sold to the Giants for a reported S25.000. The deal, "in the works" for some time, paralleled the 1945 "gentlemen's agreement" of American league owners, who allowed Pitcher Hank Borowy to be waived from the Yankees to the Cubs.

He told me he only handles the contracts and Mc Carthy handles player transfer." The six-foot-cne-inch, 195-lb. hurler paused a second and sighed, "McCarthy hasn't had the last laugh, though," he said. "Let him take a look at his staff with out me. He doesn't have a lot left.
