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:

don Ford and Roman Bent.

For Bevo Mound
Hollywood, Mar. 27 'U.R'
The Hollywood Stars and the :
Portland Beavers moved into

their Pacific Coast league opener
tomorrow night.
Beaver Manager Bill Sweeney

expected to start for the Stars in

The Beavers warmed up yes

exhibition game. The win was
the seventh for Portland in 18

Kd Sauer paced the Stars to a
7 to 6 victory over the St. Louis
Browns yesterday with a ninth-
inning homer that tied the game
and a double in the 10th that
drove in the winning run.

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.

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!

Hoop Crown
New York, March 27 -W.R)
City College of New York, whose
sole claim to sports fame two

cheer, was a two noint favorite
tooay to beat Bradley in the
NCAA finals tomorrow night
and thus become the first team
ever to sweep college basket
balls two major tournament
championships in the same year.
The Madison Square Garden
contest w ill be the game of the
season and perhaps the most im
portant in history.
Could Complete Sweep
If Coach N ilman's CCNY
team wins, it will complete a
sweep of the national invitation
and Nl'AA tournaments. Other
arvat teams last year's Ken
tucky team. Duqucsne. and Colo
rado tried for the "grand slam"
in past seasons and failed.
It will be a history-making
came, however, whether CCNY
w.r.s or lose. It will be the first
time the same clubs ever met for
the NIT and NCAA crowns in
the same season. And victory will
mean almost as much to Bradley
s-- it will to City.
Before 'he two big tourna
ments begin. Bradley was con
ceded the best choice to take
them both. City promptly swept
through its bracket in the Nl!
and smashed Bradley's dream of
a sweep by beating the prides of
