Prexy Declares
Needs of Loop
Portland (U.R) "Baseball
is an industry which must sell
itself," according to Claire V.
Goodwin, new president of the
Pacific Coast league who is
making his first visit in that ca
pacity to Portland.
Goodwin said that improve
ment of all league parks is a
necessity and that from what he
had heard as far as Portland is
concerned "almost anything . . .
would be an improvement over
Vaughn street."
Goodwin said the PCL would
employ a league scout who
would cover 11 western states
and try to hunt talent that may
help clubs with weaknesses. The
scout, he said, would recom
mend the players to the league.

the 20-year history of the team,
the Harlem Clowns have received
rave notices all along the barn
storming route this winter.
Howie Rand comes back to
the team this season after two
years in the U. S. Army twice
Howie had furloughs from Fort
Ord last season, and each time
he caught a plane to join the
Clowns, once at Seattle, Wash.,
and another time in southern
California.
Rand is rated by some the
greatest ball handler in the game
today and along with it a fine
player and a leading scorer
and to top ii off, Howie is a com
edian one of the best.
Shorty Gives Spark
. Buckner and Rand started to
gether playing clown basketball
with the Negro Ghosts from the
Ghosts they came to the Harlem
Clowns but Uncle Sam had
them both on his team for a
time Shorty was in the U. S.
Navy and Rand in the U. S.
Army,
Shorty, or Buck as some call
him, spark-plugs the Harlem
Clowns comedy show with his
continual line of chatter and
wisecracks. He is a little ball of
fire and takes his hat off to
nobody when it comes to playing
the game. Shorty, a fine scorer
from outcourt, asks, "Who says
little guys can t play basket
ball?"
This year Manager Al Pullins
has added a great dribbler to the
team, Charles (Red) Young, out
of Sacramento, California junior
college. Watch Red's dribbling
act when the Clowns play here,
It's one of the highlights of their
show.
Joey Giardello
3 to 1 Favorite
Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R)
Joey Giardello, a slugging East
erner hoping to get back on the
track toward a middleweight
title shot, was a 3 to 1 favorite
today to whip a worried Peter
Mueller in a 10-round battle to
night. Mueller, normally a happy-go-lucky
battler from Cologne,
Germany, was perturbed for this
battle because of a wrangle be
tween American and German
representatives over his con
tract. Joseph Thelen, who handles
Mueller's interests in Germany,
arrived to watch the bout with
Giardello and vowed he would
take his fighter home, "win or
lose."
Romack Choice
To Cop Tourney
Ormond Beach, Fla. (U.R)
Barbara Romack of Sacramento,
Calif., was the heavy favorite
as play got underway today in
the South Atlantic Women's Am
ateur Golf tournament.
The National Amateur champ
ion has won this tournament
twice in the last three years.
She was looking for her third
straight title here last year when
she was upset by Pat Lesser of
Seattle, Wash., in the quarter
finals. Miss Lesser want on to win
the 1954 tournament and has
returned this year to defend her
title against a field of about 80
golfers. , x
Eighteen holes of medal play
was scheduled today. The top
32 scorers then will launch the
match play Wednesday, with the
36 hole title round scheduled
for Saturday.

McDonald Kept
From Victory By
Cut Over His Eye
A cut over the eye from an
accidental head butt spoiled a
sensational main evc.it boxing
performance by Mediord's Jun
ior McDonald on Saturday night
on a Portland amateur card
which saw two members of a
seven-man Medford Police Ath
letic league delegation score de
cisions.
Burt Slinger, Portland Ram
blers, rubber-legged and groggy,
got a TKO win in the second
round over McDonald when the
bump from his head during a
clinch opened the slight cut.
McDonald, who has really blos
somed as a fighter, had Singer
just about ready for a knockout
at the time.- He was way ahead
of his foe.
Larry Lewis, Medford, earned
a decision over Darrell McQuar
ry, Portland, in the 108-pound
mix in the PAL benefit at the
Labor Temple. Larry Christean,
160, Medford, got the verdict
over Al Ross, SCAL.

Lyons, 116, to Jerry Franklin.

Dawson Carlyle, Portland Air

Lewis was impressive over
a foe rated as the best man he
has met. McQuarry is connected
with Multnomah Athletic club
lthough he was listed as un
attached for the fight. MAC fol
lowers were a bit shocked by the
outcome : of the matoh.. Lewis
staggered the Portlander in
every round.
Christean dropped his rival
three times, once for a nine
count.

slight, cast doubt on his avail
ability . for the Medford PAL
card here this Saturday.
