O'Doul Happy Over Padre
Success at San Francisco
San Francisco U.R) Jubilant
Lefty O'Doul doffed his baseball
cap toward Seals stadium and
owner Paul I. Fagan tucked a
golf bag under an arm and led
the triumphant San Diego Padres
back to Southern California Mon
day. Or Marblehead was happier
than he had been in years.
O'Doul's Pacific Coast league
leading Padres had finished
whipping the Seals he managed
for 17 seasons, five games to two.
A crowd of 13,263, encouraged
by warm sunshine, came out to
watch the O'Doul-Fagan "hate"
twin bill, bringing to more than
40,000 the number who viewed
the series.
The feud, for the benefit of
late-comers, started when Fagan
fired O'Doul following a last
place finish in 1951. Further,
Fagan was something less than
fond of O'Doul's in-season golf-

Oregon's Ducks were a heavy

Northern Division dual meet
track and field title.
The Ducks edged Washington
State to 63 V4 Saturday at
Eugene for their second close

Idaho left, but will be heavily
favored over both of them.

ing habit.
Portland Loses 2
The crowd, largest to pay for
PCL baseball in San Francisco
in more than two years, saw the
Seals win the opener, 4-3, when
two Padre errors set the stage
for four first-inning Seal runs.
But Al "Bender" Benton, saving
his seventh of San Diego's 15
wins, extinguished a Seal fire
and was credited with the 3-1
Padre victory in the short second
tilt.
Other PCL twin bills wound
up as sweeps. Oakland, recover
ing after a dismal start against
Portland, downed the Bevos, 5-2
and 4-2, Hollywood double-timed
Sacramento, 7-5 and 6-0, on Lee
Anthony's three-hitter; and Los
Angeles, a half-game away from
San Diego's lead, embedded Se
attle in the cellar with 5-1 and
4-2 decisions.
. Oakland got the opener with
a two-run frame, supported by
Pete Milne's double, a base on
balls and another two-bagger by
Tookie Gilbert.
The afterpiece, In which Oak
land salvaged some respect by
getting out of Portland with a 3-4
series, was settled in the third
inning and Jay Ragni's two-run
circuit smash.

By UNITED PRESS
The Western International
league, second only to the Pa
cific Coast league in western
baseball, opens its 1952 season
Tuesday on a note of great ex
pectation. ,
Some 18,000 fans are expected
to witness the four curtain rais
ers in Spokane, Lewiston, Ida.,
Yakima and Wenatchee.
The feature attractions are
Spokane versus Salem, Lewiston
against the Tri-City Braves, Yaki
ma and Victoria, and Wenatchee
host to Vancouver.
First View
League President Robert Abel
will be the number one spectator
in Lewiston, where that city is
getting its first view of Class A
basball. The Broncos replaced
the defunct Tacoma Tigers in the
eight-team circuit, second of two
Class A leagues west of the Miss
issippi river.
The 1952 race is expected to be
a dog-fight right down to the
wire. The favorite is Vancouver,
B. C. The defending champion is
Spokane.
Add Impetus
A new classification, new play
ers, new managers and a fresh
start on a new season give added
impetus to the hopes of the teams
and their followers in British
Columbia, Washington, Idaho
and Oregon.
The new managerial faces be
long to Dario Lodigiani at Yaki
ma, Dick Adams at Wenatchee,
Cecil Garriott at Victo.ria
Charles Gassaway at Tri-City,
and Don Osborn in Spokane. Bill
Brenner moved with the Tacoma
franchise to Lewiston, and Hugh
Luby and Bill Schuster are back

ing a sweep of its two-game
series with Washington State.
The Webfoots edged the Cou
gars 14-13 in 13 innings Satur
day, while Idaho was downing
Washington 9-5 to go into a
three-way tie with the Huskies
and Oregon State for a second
place.
Norv Ritchey doubled home
three runs for Oregon to tie the
game in the ninth and then
scored the winning run in the

against Washington, but pounded
out 13 hits off three Husky
hurlers to win out and even
their two-game Seattle series.
feated team in the major leagues.
The Indians have won seven in
a row and a quick check after
less than a week of play reveal
ed that they have hit more hom
ers 9, gotten more hits, 65, turn
ed in most complete games, 5,
and allowed fewer runs, 14, in
seven games or 2 per game, than
any other team in the league.
That means trouble ahead for
the rest of the contenders unless
they can do something to stop
the hot Indians pretty shortly.
Rap Tigers
Sunday, the Indians kayoed
the Tigers, who have yet to win
a ganie, 3 to 2, and 7 to 2, get
ting outstanding pitching in both
ends of the double header from
Bob Lemon and Steve Gromek.
In the opener, Luke Easter
smashed a home run in the ninth
inning to break up a tense duel
between Lemon and Art Hout-teman.
In the second game the In
dians really flexed their muscles
as Gromek won without pres
sure. Lemon's victory was his
second and Gromek picked up
his first. Al Rosen hit two hom
ers and Pete Reiser and Ray
Boone got one each.
Shade Ahead
All the while the Indians
were just a shade ahead of the
Red Sox at 6 to 1, who breezed
to a 6 to 3 victory over Washing
ton on the margin of Billy Good
man s three run pinch-homer. In
other American league games,
the Yankees topped the Athlet
ics, 9 to 6 in a bat battle, while
the Browns blanked the White
Sox, 8 to 0, on the second
straight shutout by Ned Garver,
then lost, 10 to 2.
In National league games the
Giants finally stopped the Dodg
ers, 6 to 0, on Sal Maglie's two
hitter, while the Cards edged the
Cubs, 2 to 1, on a six-hitter by
Gerry Slaley. The Reds took the
Pirates over the bumps twice, 8
to 6 and 12 to 2, while the Phil
lies rallied late to win from the
Braves, 4 to 3, in 10 innings, then
lost the second game, 2 to 1.
Hurls Two-Hitter
Garver, who pitched a six-hit-
ler on opening day, came
through with a two-hitter over
the Tigers in the opener as rook
ies Jim Rivera and Tom Wright
hit homers. Rivera's blast was
inside the park. Marty Marion
and Gordie Goldsberry each got

In the second game, lefty Billy
Pierce held the Browns to two
hits while Nellie Fox collected
four hits and Eddie Stewart hit
a homer for Chicago.

Hoover Plan Aid
Washinrton. D. C (IIPI A
warning was voiced today by
the Citizens Committee for the
Hoover Report that legislation
ior modernization of the federal
government personnel employ
ment svstem mav mpnt Hnfont in
the house unless widespread
puonc senument is expressed in
its favor.
James P. Mitchell, chairman
of the special committee on fed
eral personnel policy, an affili
ate of the Citizens committee,
urged immediate and favorable
action on S. 1135 which was
passed by the senate last fall
and is now before the House
Committee on Post Office and
Civil Service. S. 1135 embodies
key recommendations of the bi
partisan Hoover commission to
cut red tape in securing and
holding skilled and specialized
personnel.
"Few of the Hoover commis
sion's recommendations are so
little understood as those con
cerned with personnel manage
ment within the federal govern
ment," Mitchell, vice president
of Bloomingdale Brothers of
New York, declared, "yet none
has more importance or more
significance to the nation's tax
payers. Our federal government
is not only the nation's but the
world's largest employer. In
terms of dollars and cents, aside
from many other Important con
siderations, the American peo
ple are entitled to a long over
due overhauling and strcamlin
ing of the federal employment
system.

By-Products Slump
Hits Price of Meal
Chicago (U.R) Livestock
prices are falling because of a
slump in the prices of livestock
by-products, according to the
American Meat Institute.
The price drop for by-products
hurt the live animal market be
cause the worth of live animals
is dependent on the value of
packing house by-products as
well as the price of dressed meat
the AMI said.
Rules Cited
The AMI, spokesman for the
industry, cited a decline in "the
inflationary buying of a year
ago' 'and rules requiring butch
ers to trim "substantial" amounts
to tallow and fat from meat as
factors in the slump.
'In the case of beef, hides
were worth 33 cents a pound in
October but only 10 cents now,"
the announcement said.
'Tallow was 15 cents a pound
a year ago and only 5 cents this
week. These reduced values for
two key beef by-products would
produce, in the case of a 1,000
pound steer, a $20 drop in the
live-weight value."
