Seals Tip Beavers 2-0
In Coast Loop Opener
By PAUL CANE
San Francisco (U.R A wave
of optimism trickled through
Pacific Coast league stadiums
Wednesday, Inspired by . some
good crowds and good baseball
at the loop's opening games.
The PCL, 50 years old, turned
a leaf on its 180-game 1952
schedule, Tuesday and Tuesday
night And when that first flap
was pushed back there were
many thrilling things for a base
ball fan to see.
Cold weather kept the opening-night
throng to about 8,500
at San Francisco's Seals sta
dium. But those who braved the
chilly air' were rewarded 'by
witnessing Seal Bill Reeder's
auspicious PCL pitching debut.
The gangly, 6 foot, 5 inch Texan
fashioned a spiffy one-hitter in
gaining San Francisco a 2-0 de
cision over Portland.
New Pilots Appear
Two new-to-the-league man
agers made appearances: Tom
my Heath led the Seals; Clay
Hopper directed the Beavers.

the season's opening balL How
ever, the Solon -fans were later
disappointed where it went.
Doubles by Chuck Connors and
Max West gave Los Angeles a
1-0 nod over Sacramento.
Frank "Lefty" O'DouL for 17
years boss of the Seals, opened
his 1952 business at a new
stand. He masterminded the San
Diego Padres to a 6-2 victory
over highy-regarded Oakland, as
nearly 9,700 watched his bow as
a Padre. They were thrilled to
see two old-timers, grumphy
Guy Fletcher and Al Benton,
conspire to pitch three-hit ball
for the win.
Fight Video
Hollywood, fighting televis
ion home-viewers, lured only
3,825 through the turnstiles for
its opener against Seattle. The
Rainiers, defending champions
now managed Bill Sweeney,
cubbed Hollywood for 13 bits
and a 6-3 triumph.
Huge Johnny Lindell suffered
the entire 13-hit Seattle attack.
The Rainiers clubbed him for
five safeties and three runs in
the second panel to develop the
margin of victory. Sud veteran
Charley Schanz pitched the
victory, working steadily as he
allowed seven hits.

Rogue Valley
Baseball League
Session Thursday
A Rogue Valley Baseball
league meeting is scheduled tor
8 p.m. Thursday at the Home
stead tavern, Rogue River.
Anyone interested in sponsor
ing a team in the circuit is in
vited, league officials said.
Seven and possibly eight teams
are now lined up for the loop.
It was indicated that nine clubs
would be an ideal number. That
would mean some byes for par
ticipants. They would not have
to play every Sunday.
Teams now in the league are
Glendale, Cave Junction, Rogue
River, Butte Falls, Ashland, Cen
tral Point and Eagle Point. Pros
pect is a possibility. In addition,
a Medford group has indicated
interest but at last report was
still hurting sponsors.
New officers probably will be
elected .Thursday.
Carter Wins .
Title Bout
Los Angeles (U.PJ A virtu
ally un-marked Jimmy Carter is
still world lightweight cham
pion but the game little hombre
from Mexico, Lauro Salas, who
lost a unanimous decision to
Carter, was still champion of
Los Angeles.
A great "heart" fighter, the
out-weighed and out-fought
Salas, scored a "moral" victory
in the minds of the crowd of
7,678 when he floored the cham
pion for three-count in a wild
swinging 15th round Tuesday
night. '
Salas Agrees
A much battered Salas, his
right eye cut, left eye nearly
closed and his nose a bloody
mass, agreed with the jeering
crowd when questioned in his
dressing room after the bout.
"I won this fight," said Salas
through puffed lips. "The ref
eree gave the decision to Carter
Just when Mexico had a chance."
The fight officials were of
unanimous opposition opinion.
Judge Frankie Van scored the
bout 87-78 infavor of Carter,
Judge Joe Stone 84Vi to 80V&
and Referee Abe Roth 85-80.
Expresses Pessimism
Denver (U.PJ Take it from
the New York Giants Larry
Doby should make the fans for
get his disappointing 1951 season
and the Cleveland Indians stand
an excellent" chance of ending
the New York Yankees' three
year reign over the American
League. The Indians have been
unbeatable this spring as far as
the Giants are concerned. They
scored their seventh straight' tri
umph of the spring oyer the Na
tional League champions, 7 to 4,
Tuesday as Doby and Al Rosen
hammered homers.
By MILTON RICHMAN
Houston, Tex. U.PJ Pity the
pathetic Pittsburgh Pirates, who
are starting out badly and show
every promise of winding up
even worsey
No one among the Pirate:
not even general manager
Branch Rickey or field manager
Bill Meyer can muster any hon
est optimism over the team's
chances in the 1952 National
league pennant race.
"Frankly," declared Rickey,
"we're strictly a seventh-place
club. We simply don't have the
material to finish much higher,
not this year, anyway. In a cou
pie of years, we'll certainly be
among the contenders, but as for
this year, it s entirely out of the
question.
Unenviable Job
Meyer is equally pessimistic
Unquestionably, Meyer has
one of the most unenviable man
agerial jobs in baseball.
The .grey - haired Buccaneer
boss is faced with the task of
taking a so-so pitching staff, a
shoddy infield and two long ball
hitters, Ralph Kiner and Gus
Bell, and molding a unit from
these that might be mistaken for
a legitimate big league ball club,
The pitching staff is as big a
problem as any the Pirates have,
Murray Dickson, the pint-
sized 20-game winner, stacks up
as the club's act but the Pirates
openly admit they would gladly
trade him for "three or -four
promising young ball players
'Tested" Hurlers
Southpaw Howie Pollet and
fastballer Mel Queen are the
other "tested" starting -pitchers
with young Bob Friend and Don
Carlsen also slated for regular
turns on the mound.
After that, it's strictly a scram
ble with such assorted hurlers as

Jim Suchecki, obtained from the
Browns, Royce Lint, Forrest
Main, Joe Muir and veteran Clar
ence (Hooks) Iott seeking berths.
The relief pitching department
should be attended to capably
enough by Ted (The Cork) Wilks
and Bill Werle.
One of the better looking rook
ies has been chunky Bob Del
Greco, a muscular 18-year-old
outfielder who batted .302 with
Hutchinson of the class C West
ern Association last season.
Battle for First
The first base job will be
turned back to either George
juetKovich or Jackie Phillips.
Second base has been entrust
ed to hustling Jack Merson, who
reported to Pittsburgh last Sep
tember and whaled the ball at a
fancy .360 clip. Meyer experi
mented with draft choice Clem
Koshorek at shortstop this spring
but the five-foot, five-inch rookie
from Little Rock probably will
relinquish the spot to holdover
George Strickland.
Pete Castiglione will be back
at third base unless Leo Wells,
a lanky, bespectacled rookie
from Modesto of the Class C
California league, chases him off
the bag.
Kiner Fixture
Kiner and Bell, of course, are
outfield fixtures, with Bill How
erton and Erv Dusak available
for part-time duty, if necessary.
Joe Garagiola will do most
of the catching although ancient
Clyde McCullough and Eddie
Fitzgerald will be around, also.
It is difficult to visualize how
the parties will make trouble
for anybody this year, unless, of
course, it s for themselves,

Shortstop Red Schoendienst
probably will be lost to the St.
Louis Cardinals when they open
their National League season
against the Pittsburgh Pirates
April 15. X-rays taken by Dr.
Erwin Feinbach revealed that
the versatile 20-year-old infielder
is suffering with a pin-point frac
ture of the third finger on his
throwing hand. Schoendienst in
jured the finger attempting to
pivot on a double play in Mon
day's exhibition game with the
Philadelphia Phillies.
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.F0
The St. Louis Cardinals pitching
staff which accounted for only
nine shutouts all last year havo
marked up its sixth shutout of
the spring exhibition season. The
Cardinals achieved No. 6 Tues
day when Cliff Chambers and
George Munger combined to
limit the Detroit Tigers to five
hits in a 5 to 0 victory. Cham
bers now has pitched 20 consec
utive exhibition innings without
allowing an earned run.
