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-

is to please the public. An admission charge

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.

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.

Chevrolets of San Francisco,
Oakland's Atlas Pacific Engi
neers, Artesia, N.M., Rea Travel

over outclassed New Mexico'

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

Trucks Haul
Young Trout
Portland Game commission
liberation tankers are now haul
ing loads of yearling trout from
the Roaring River, Oak Springs,
McKenzie, Cedar Creek, and
Butte Falls trout hatcheries so
that a heavy stocking of trout
will be available for trout season
opening.
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

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.
