GREEN I ' 1 MEDFOHfeOiTRIBUNI mm Boston Braves May Result in Braidenton, Fla. (U.R) Ton my Holmes' youth movement In his first full season as manager of the boston Braves appeared on the verge of paying divi dends Wednesday. Prospects are that six or sev en of the IS rookies he has in camp will make the club. "We are, of course, shooting for the works," Holmes said, "but I definitely have decided to go with kids this year, even if they cost us ball games. We found out last season we couldn't win with what we had so w decided to rebuild, Thinking of Future "It's 1953 and 1954 I'm think- ing more about than 1952, but that doesn't mean we are con- 1 THE 100 H.P.

The club specializes in razzle dazzle and its aim is to please the public. An admission charge will be made with a special family price be ing offered. Youth Move Dividends ceding a thing this season. But when you have to go with youngsters you know they are going to make costly mistakes and I only hope our fans will stay loyal to us and give the kids a chance to develop. Then we are going to give them a real good ball club." Holmes refused to single out any of the rookies, claiming "the field is wide open and every one of them has a chance to stay." The Braves' skipper is spend ing most of his time with the kid infielders, for the Boston inner defense last season was a sieve. Infield Problem "The infield is my big prob lem," Holmes admitted. "I'm hoping to come up with three kid infielders who can play third, second and short. We are set at first with Earl Torgeson although George Crowe, a rookie, is a mighty fine prospect and is going to give Torgey a good battle for the job." Two of the most highly touted rookies are third basemen Ed Mathews and Billy Klaus. Math ews is the better hitter, but Klaus, according to Holmes, is a "major leaguer right now so far as fielding is concerned." Works on Hitting "I'm working on Klaus' hit ting and he is showing improve ment," Holmes said. "He hit .285 at Milwaukee last season and was coming along fast at the end." Billy Reed, who hit .311 at Milwaukee and John Dittmer, up from Atlanta where he hit .334 are crowding veterans Roy Hartsfield and Sibby Sisti for second base while at short Holmes is hoping that John Cu sick, acquired from the Cubs, will fill the bill.

Cleveland, In State Eugene (U.R) Cleveland of Portland and Hillaboro, one vic tory already under their belts, sat back and watched Wednes day as the other 12 teams swung into action in Oregon's 34th an nual state class "A" high school basketball tournament. Cleveland downed a good Mc- Minnville team 69-57 and Hills- boro jolted the Astoria Fisher men, 54-40, in opening games Tuesday night before 6,500 fans In morning games Wednesday, Scappoose faced Marshfield and The Dalles met powerful Central Catholic. Bend played Klamath Falls and Lincoln of Portland opposed Salem in afternoon con tests. The second nights action matched Corvallis against Uni- Competition Toughens in AAU Tourney Denver (U.R) Competition started to get tough Wednesday as the National AAU basketball tournament entered its second round. The original field of 43 entries was whittled down to 16 teams. Along with the week-end cage squads, four supposedly tough quints have been sidelined, three in the first round and one in the preliminaries. Close Battles Seen Eight games were scheduled Wednesday with the winners slated to go into Thursday's quarterfinals. Four of them shape up as close battles, a wel come change after the lopsided affairs of the past three days. Top game is between the Phil lips Oilers and the Naval Air Station from Los Alamitos, Calif. Both teams won their de buts by one-sided scores, and the winner almost is a sure bet to reach Thursday's semi-finals. Other topn-otch tilts will be between the Denver Central Bankers and Fibber McGee and Mollys of Hollywood, both of the National Industrial Basketball league; between the NIBL Allen Bradleys of Milwaukee and the Air Force All-Stars of Tinker field, Okla; and between the Cat erpillar Diesels of Peoria, 111., and the upset-minded Jussel Electrics of Denver. Easy Tiffs Defending champion Stewart Chevrolets of San Francisco, Oakland's Atlas Pacific Engi neers, Artesia, N.M., Rea Travel ers and Kirby Shoes of Los An geles, all seeded teams, have fairly easy battles on tap. Stewart's Chevrolets made tre mendous tourney debut by tak ing a lopsided 109-45 victory over outclassed New Mexico' Sellers of Albuquerque. Thinclad Time Trials Canceled Joint time trials to have been staged by Medford and Ashland high track teams Thursday at the Medford high stadium have been cancelled because of the soggy condition in which this week's storms have left the track, Black Tornado Coach Bob Newland reported. The affair was not to have been a "dual" short distance meet as indicated in an Ashland datelined stojy in a Portland paper. Medford s first official, meet is here against Klamath Falls on Saturday, March 29. COLLINS SPIKED Clearwater, Fla. (U.R) First- baseman Joe Collins was added Wednesday to a New York Yankee injury list that may ri val the Bombers famed long list of 1950. Collins was spiked as he slid into home by catcher Ebba St. Clair of the Braves during Tuesday's game at St. Petersburg. The Phillies defeated the Washington Senators, 2 to 1.

The 1952 production of year ling trout In game commission hatcheries totals 1,948,000 fish and liberations will be made from March through July to hit the peak of trout season and realize the greatest return from these hatchery fish. Bulk of the yearling fish to be liberated in Oregon lakes and streams is 1,581,982 rainbow trout. Other yearling trout slated for release this spring include 68,727 eastern brook trout for Cascade lakes, 49,903 lake trout for Odell lake, and 161.727 coastal and westside Willamette valley streams. A plant of 7,100 yearling Atlantic salmon, the first in, Oregon waters, will be made in Davis lake. Steelhead Liberated All 41,273 yearling steelhead hefd at Cedar Creek and Alsea hatcheries on the coast have beea liberated. The 248,000 yearling silver and Chinook salmon rear ed at commission hatcheries have been liberated. The 248,000 yearling silver and Chinook sal mon reared at commission hatch eries have also been distributed. Yearling salmon and steelhead are released in February and March so that they can reach the sea before trout season open ing. At Wizard Falls hatchery on the Metolius river, 37,500 Des chutes summer steelhead have been reared to yearling size and the fish are now being marked prior to release in tne jjes- chutes river system. In addition to yearling fish production, about 10 million trout fry will be released, main ly in lakes where the best sur vival of small fish is obtained. The fry releases are described as primarily a thin-out operation to make room for next year's growing crop of yearling trout Reino O. Koski of the com mission's fishery division, ex plains that the switch from fry and xingerlings to yearling fish production is based on fish sur vival studies carried out by com mission fishery agents. Returns as high as 50 per cent in streams and 80 per cent in lakes are be ing realized from the yearling trout plants while one and two per cent returns are the most obtained from fingerling fish plants in streams.
