MAIL TRIBUNE Coast Leag Wild Scori San Francisco, Mar. 29 (U.R) Pacific Coast league managers, taking one look at the fearsome rows of sluggers striding to the plate in opening games, sent up a great hue and cry for more pitching talent today. That was the result of yester day's openers, which attracted 40,684 fans into four of the league's smaller parks to test the 1B50 version of the grand oiu game of baseball. Soup New Seller Besides the game Itself, this year's attractions included the traditional peanuts and popcorn and a new offering soup. In some places the opinion was that the rabbit ball is gone but it had been replaced by the kan garoo ball. In Oakland, the Oaks whipped Seattle, 15 to 11, before 12,397 fans, including Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler, in one of the weirdest games in history. At Sacramento, the Los An geles Angels outlasted the So- lons, 13 to 11, in another wild game. Portland Wins The score was only 5 to 4 at San Diego, where the Padres de feated the San Francisco Seals but that was because the pitch ers would not pitch to the bat ters. The result was nine walks given up by the Seal hurlers. The best game of the night was at Hollywood, where only 5,738 turned out to see the de- BASEBALL PACIFIC COAST LEAG UK Tuesday's RpriiIis: San Diego 3, San Francisco 4 Los Angeles 13, Sacramento 11 Portland 4.

Coaches Rap Two Minute' New York, Mar. 29 (U.R) Firmly convinced that basket ball's much-maligned two-minute rule must be discarded, the nation's college coaches set out today to tackle the problem of "where do we go from here?" That the present "game-end foul rule" was headed for the scrap heap was certain. Coach Paul Hinkle of Butler, chairman of the National Coaches associa tion's rule committee, disclosed yesterday that coaches have vot ed in answer to a quesitonnaire, 204 to 10, that it is unsatisfac tory. The big task now confronting the coaches as they wound up their annual three-day meeting was to find an adequate substi tute rule for curbing excessive fouls in the late minutes of games. Red Wings Lose Game Key Player in Hockey Game Played Detroit Detroit, Mar. 29 (U.R) The Detroit Red Wings today sadly counted two losses after playing only one game in the National Hockey league playoffs.

Knocked into the boards by Toronto's Ted Kennedy in the third period, Howe was rushed to Harper hospital, where he was operated on for a possible skull fracture.

Chicago has won the intercity event 12 times, New York five and five have been tied. Boxing Results Seattle, Mar. 29 (U.Ri Ham- Kid Matthews. 178.

V J CCNY Wins Over Bradley NCAA Champ New York, Mar. 29 (U.R) City College of New York, a school which never had won a title in 30 seasons, today posted a record tor ail tulure teams to shoot at the first "grand slam" in the history of college basket ball's two major tournaments. CCNY defeated Bradley, 69 to 61, for the National Invitation crown last week and defeated the same surging Braves, 71 to 68, last night for the NCAA championship. No other team ever accom plished that feat. Some great ones last year's Kentucky team, Colorado, Duquesne and Utah tried for the big double and failed. City's sophomore - s p a r k e d Beavers, led by Norm Mager. a blood-spattered substitute, came through when the pressure was at a fever-pitch in the final 30 seconds of play to win the NCAA and sweep both championships. It was Mager, a 6-foot, 5-inch wildman, who crushed Bradley's last minute rally. Mager was knocked out when he collided with Jim Kelly of Bradley late in the first half and had to have five stitches put in a gash on his forehead. He came back on the floor In the second half with blood ooz ing through a head bandage. When little Gene- Melchiorre cut City's lead to 69 to 68 with 30 seconds to go it was Mager who broke away for the layup basket that killed the Braves' hopes. Jake Winner Tko in 6th Cleveland. Mar. 29 (U.R) Middleweight Champion Jake LaMotta, flashing a devastating body attack, stopped classy Chuck Hunter of Cleveland in 59 seconds of the sixth round last night in a non-title fight at the Arena. Superior body punching was the margin of difference for the Bronx bull but a terrific left to the head was the payoff blow. LaMotta, who started off the first two rounds slowly, came tearing out in the sixth and dropped the Cleveland middle weight contender with a series of body blows and the left hook to tne side ot trie nead. Hunter took a full nine count and got up groggy and wobbly. LaMotta, smelling tne Kill, rushed him across ths ring and in less than a minute Referee Jackie Davis stopped the slaugh ter.
