The sellout crowd will be the largest ever to attend an out door sporting event in Portland and promoters are bewailing the fact that they didn't schedule it in outdoor Multnomah stadi um. A gross gate of $65,000 is assured. The two clouters have been in the Rose City three days, spending their time in the train ing gyms after a day of work- Probe Slated At Kentucky Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) The athletic situation at the Univer sity of Kentucky, blasted by a New Ycrk judge as rife with "over-emphasis," will be given a "complete and thorough inves tigation" by Commissioner Ber nie Moore of the Southeastern conference. Moore received his orders for the Inquiry Monday from the conference's executive commit tee after a five-and-a-half hour meeting here Sunday. Investigation Asked The university had requested such an investigation, but Moore said that league heads would have taken the step uninvited. "We waited until now until the court action in New York was over," said Moore. The conference commissioner referred to the proceedings in New York in which Judge Saul S. Streit, in giving suspended sentences to three University of Kentucky players involved in the the basketball fixing scan dal, described athletics at Ken tucky as "the acme of commer cialism and over-emphasis." outs for the entertainment of veterans in Barnes Hospital across the river in Vancouver, Wash.

Acorns Seek To Overtake Padre Nine San Francisco U.R) In this, the week of the big chance, Oak land's aspiring Acorns beckon league-leading San Diego into their Emeryville den for a seven tilt meeting. During the series, the second-place hosts hope to re place their visitors at the top of the Pacific Coast league. But Oakland, always manner ly, will attempt the succession graciously. The Oaks will welcome Padre manager Frank O'Doul with open arms and a big "home coming night Tuesday, when the series starts. Then, after Lefty has accepted the plaudits and smiled prettily for photog raphers, the mean Oaklanders will try to knock his block off. It would have to fall 2Vz games for the Oaks to get into first place. Moderate Week In preparation, Oakland had only a moderate week at Sacra mento. The Oaks and Sacs split last night, and the visitors took the series, 4-3. The brightest spot of the week's work was Sam Chapman's hitting. He stroked Sac pitching for 13 for 27. The Pads, meanwhile, were less sensational. They split with Los Angeles Sunday, losing to Ed Chandler s six-hitter and Jack Hollis' three singles, 6-0, and winning, 8-5 in the 1 1th inning, on Cracker Jack Graham's three tally homer. Earlier, Graham rapped a three-tally double. Elsewhere, unpredictable San Francisco, which scored one un earned run while losing Satur- JOHN DEERE AUTOMATIC pick-up BALER tTnrn The Fully Automatic Wire-Tying Baler THAT PUTS NEW SPEED AND ECONOMY INTO EVERY BALING JOB Wire is Cheaper Than Twine Hubbard-Wray Co. 25 South Riverside Ave. Medford, Ore. Newcomers Aid Senators Chase Tribe , By United Press Bucky Harris can't tell any more who will be in his start ing lineup until after he meets the morning train. But the little boss of the Washington Senators was mak ing a fine bid for manager of the year honors with players who have just come over from other clubs. The Senators were the Amer ican League's "best bet" to fin ish last in the pre-season calcu lations, but now it looks as if they not only could stay in the first division but battle some of the contenders right to the fin ish. Never Last Harris, whose proudest boast is that "I never finished last in IS years as a manager in the big leagues," now has his Nats in second place and hustling for a chance to overtake the leading Cleveland Indians. The team appears to be much stronger than at the start of the season after deals in which he got outfielders Jackie Jensen and Archie Wilson, and pitcher Frank Shea from the Yankees, outfielder Jim Busby from the White Sox and pitcher Lou Slea ter and infielder Fred Marsh from the Browns. Sleater was his newest hero. The left hander had a sorry rec ord with the Browns, winning only one game while losing nine last season. He lost his only game with them this year, but Harris still liked h i m and thought he had a potential as a winner. Sleater Comes Through Harris was willing to give up a steady veteran infielder like Cass Michaels to make the deal. In Sleater's first start Sunday, he vindicated Bucky's judgment. Sleater pitched a solid eight-hitter to top White Sox ace Saul Rogovin in a duel, 2 to 1. Chicago rebounded to win the second game, 6 to 4, breaking loose with four runs in the first inning on a pair of two-tally homers by Al Zarilla and Eddie Robinson. After Washington tied the score later, a two-run single by Ray Coleman gave Chicago its winning margin. The split left Washington 2V4 games behind Cleveland which also divided Its doubleheader, winning a 6 to 0 decision behind Mike Garcia's nine-hit pitching after Bobby Shantz of the A's took the opener, 2 to 0 with a three-hitter. Dodgers Leader The Browns topped the Yan kees, 4 to 3, when Clint Court ney singled with the bases load ed in the ninth to give them their third straight triumph in the final inning. But the Yankees put on a run spree to win the second game, 8 to 1. Boston topped Detroit, 7 to 4, on the margin of Vernon Ste phens' three-run homer. The Dodgers moved half a game ahead of the idle Giants in the National by defeating the Cubs, 7 to 2, on four hits, two by Preacher Roe, who won his fourth straight game. The Cardinals edged Philadel phia, 4 to 3, as Gerry Staley be came the first hurler in the ma jors to win seven games. The Pittsburgh-New York and Cincinnati-Boston double head ers were rained out. day's 19-inning game, pushed de- lending champion Seattle around twice, 13-2 and 5-0. Hollywood two-timed Portland, 16-6 and 3-0. Oaks Beaten Part-time pitcher Jack Plckart, a student at St. Marys college, beat the Oaks 3-1 in the seven- inning opener. His four hitter was backed up by doubles by tddle Bockman and Joe Gordon. Then unbeaten Hal Gregg work ed Oakland s victory, and his eighth, 9-5. Frank Kalin, newcomer to the Seal lineup, obtained in a trade for Red Baumer, hit three dou bles in the twin bill. The Seals reached a new seasonal high In run-making in the opener, while Bob Thurman's homer and lefty Al Lien's second shutout pitch ing resolved the second affair. Hits Help Pitchor Paul Pettit brought his bat along when he went to the stadium. He rapped out four hits while his mates compiled a love ly 16-run margin for him to work on. In the second tilt, Pin ky Woods stymied Portland on a measly three hits. The Seal Seattle 1 9 innlne thing Saturday, won S-l by the Suds, was the longest game in the 21-game history of Seals sta dium. Paul Calvert, who worked a no-hitter last season, pitched 17 frames but was removed when he tired.
