. t J 1 t 4 SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE 40,000 Wait PCL Openers On Tuesday San Francisco, Mar. 27 !U.R) Forty thousand persons arc keeping their fingers crossed to day and tomorrow. They're the ones expected to jam the ball parks tomorrow night to watch the eight clubs in the Pacific Coast Baseball league open the 1950 season. And they hope the weather will clear up so they can watch the first games of the 200-game schedule, the longest of any baseball league in the country. Fair Weather Seen The weatherman predicts "fair" weather, but it may be somewhat chilly after the week end rainstorms. However, all the fans want is for the rains to hold off for a few hours in the evening. In the openers, Sacramento entertains Los Angeles, Seattle invades Oakland, Portland vis its Hollywood ;ind San Diego plays host to San Francisco. The experts think the favored clubs in this year's pennant race are the San Diego Padres, the Oakland Acorns and the de fending champion Hollywood Stars. All three clubs have pow erful outfields and good over all hitting strength and balance. Helo Expected The teams wont' really begin to shape up until May 15 when the majors make their cutbacks. After that, the caliber of compe tition should improve and many youngsters now in the PCL will be farmed out for more season ing. Umpires for the opening se ries arc: Sacramento. Al Som ers, Cecil Carlurci and Al Mil tart: Oakland. Rill Engeln. Bill Doran, Robert Cunningham and John Young: Hollywood. Patt Orr, Ira Gordon and Ed Runge: San Diego. Lou Barbour.

The Beavers warmed up yes terday by edging Los Angeles 6 to S at Riverside in their final exhibition game. The win was the seventh for Portland in 18 training season starts.

Snead Leads Golfers On Winter Trail Greensboro, N. C, Mar. 27 (U.R) Slamming Sammy Snead, playing some of the greatest golf of hit great career, was pulling away from the pack today in the winter trail money winning race The long-hitting star from Greenbrier, W. Va., ran his total winter earnings to $12,008 by winning the Greensboro Open golf tournament yesterday. And the way he won made it almost certain that he will not be over taken in the last two tourneys of the season. Shatters Record For Snead shattered the tour ney record by carding a 269, just 11 strokes under par and one under the old mark lor the four rounds over the Sedgfield Coun try club course. Sammy shot a four-under-par 66 in the third round yesterday morning and came back with a three-under-par 67 in the fourth round in the afternoon. His rec ord total was astounding to local experts who had predicted a win ning score of 282 two over par because the course was rain soaked. Demaret Breaks Par Sammy was a joint holder of the old record of 270, along with Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. Only one other pro in the classy was able to break par Jimmy Demaret of Ojai. Cal., second with one-under-par 279. Only one other player matched par 280 third place Jim Tur nesa of Briarcliff. N. Y. CATCHER OPTIONED Los Angeles.

TM. Stojack, Dusette In Return Go Thursday Frank Stojnck and Georges Dusette will go at it again in the lop match of Mack Lillard's Thursday night wrestling offer-: ing at the armory. It will be a rematch of last week's affair! when Stojack was declared the winner after both toppled from ! the ring, injuring Dusette's back j on the edge of the apron. The mishap happened after about five minutes of wrestling. i Stojack refused to acceDt the j winner's share of the purse, pre- j of collusion. But an impartial observer couldn't help but feel that nothing was done to hurt Monaveen's chances. Especially since he packed less weight than horses he had beaten be fore. The royal steed had won five out of its last seven starts. The other two times it finished sec ond. But in the National, Mona veen carried only 153 pounds. Four horses finished ahead of him and they were well-loaded. Freebooter lugged 167 pounds: Wot No Sun 164: Action Major 158: and Roland Roi 163. No body seemed to know why. The Marquis De Portago, a French sportsman who had never raced in England, im ported hit Garde Toi to take a crack al the big one. Garde Toi ranks about fifth among French steeplechasers. But he was assigned 169 pounds. Can't you take a hint? It began to smack of 1900, when Manifesto, a two-time win ner, was loaded down with 181 pounds and the Royal Ambush II. packing a mere 157 romped home on top. Usually the National is a four and a half mile race over 30 jumps. This year It was a battle for a mile and a quarter and only six jumps. For up to that point, Monaveen led neatly in what looked like a parade. He had faltered on the 14th jump and Tony Grantham, his rider, almost fell off. Arthur Thomp son, riding guard on Wot No Sun. hauled Grantham back into the saddle. But when they came to the canal turn, fix jumps from home, Monaveen nicked the fence and almost came to a dead stop. The impetus car ried four horses past him and the Irish combine of Free booter and Power ran them down from there. Interest now turns to the Oxford-Cambridge boat race which will be held next week! 2-000R CUSTOM SEDAN NOW ONLY $1726-71 Delivered in Medford ferrir.e to have the nvr.ey d:id ed into eo::: shares.
