MEDFORDfeTRIBUNE Portland Beavers Serve Notice That They Will Be Tougher Than During 1954 By SCOTT BAILLIE Glendale. Calif. (U.PJ Port land Beavers, bolstered by six player deals in the past three months, served notice today that they will be a lot tougher in the Pacific Coast League race than last year's eighth-placers which were left at the post. Manager Clay Hopper, who had never finished lower than sixth in 21 campaigns until 1954, is certain the Beavers will cause a lot of woe around the crcuit. 'The club will have a lot more power at first base in Ed Michel son, whom we drafted from Shreveport of the Texas League Hopper said. "And we'll be a lot faster with Artie Wilson, whom we got from Seattle for Rocky Krsnich and Jehosie Heard. Sam Calderone is down from the Milwaukee Braves to catch and will do most of it." Purchases From Montreal Those three players were ob tained after General Manager Joe Ziegler took office in mid December as Portland residents bought the club from Vancouver brewer George Norgan and turned the Bevos into a home owned team. Ziegler also purchased out fielder Dick Whitman and pitch er Wally Hood from Montreal along with outfielder Russ Sulli van, who hit .333 and clubbed 17 home runs with Little Rock of the Southern Association in 1954. Mickelson batted .335 at Shreveport, also hit 17 home runs and drove in 104 tallies. He Is taking over the vacancy created when Hank Arft, a .261 hittpr with Portland last year, decided to hold out. Arft wound up with his outright release. "Mickelson will help us at first even if he has his worst year," Hopper said, Wilson's A Coiner Good, grey Clay also warned Wilson, who hit .336 last year at Seattle and led the PCL in three-base hits with 16, may run Eddie Basinski right off second. Basinski has been custodian of the middle sack at Portland for IVi seasons without too much competition but he has it now. Hopper said the gentle violinist may be better on dou ble plays than swift Artie but BOWLING LADIES VICTORY LEAGUE Standings: Beatty and McDougal Keith Brothers U.S. Bank W. .25 .25 L. 15 15 starka Finance - TXrka Amiarrell Trowbridge & Flynn Davit Transfer 23,i 16,i .22 IB 18 32 16 24 .15 S5 RmuIU: .

Keith 1007 410 304 296 392 382 is strictly a .250 hitter and that's bad with the new regime going for harder hitting. Frankie Austin has nothing to fear at shortstop though. Hop per said. He is slated for his seventh year there as a Beaver and is the best short-fielder in the league as far as Hopper is cdncerned. When Krsnich went to Seattle in the Wilson deal, third base apparently was left in full pos session of Don Eggert. Hopper also is delighted with the work of rookie Ron Jackson, who can play any infield spot and may become a top utility man. Jack son hit .316 at Victoria of the Class A Western International League last year. Pitching Staff Improved The pitching is better with the arrival of Wally Hood but Hopper said the former major leaguer still must win a spot on the mound. The biggest man there seems to be Lefty Royce Lint, who had a 22-10 mark at Portland in 1953 and then was 2-3 with the St. Louis Cardinals last year. Lint has rejoined southpaw Glenn Elliott (12-15) on a start ing staff to be rounded out by righties Dick Fiedler (11-12) and Dick Waibel (11-10) with Lee Anthony, ancient Red Adams, Carl Scheib and Larry Ward around for relief. The outfield is loaded with names but there isn't a center fielder in the bunch. Dino Res telli, Fletcher Robbe and Walt Judnich are back but being pushed by slugging rookie Bob Caselli, an erstwhile pitcher. "When we land a fast center fielder everything will be fine," Hopper declared. Don Lundberg and Ron Bott ler figure to give Calderone a rest when he needs one behind the plate. Indian Rowers Subdue Beavers Redwood City, Calif. (U.R) The Stanford university varsity rowing crew defeated Oregon State by 2V lengths in the 1955 season opener held at the yacht club yesterday. The Indians rowed the 2000 meter course in 5:53.8. In a preliminary match, Stan ford's freshman crew defeated Oregon State by one length over the same distance in 5:57.5. Competition on Team Basis In Pan American Games Said Mistake By HAL WOOD Mexico City U.R) Patricia McCormick, holder of more div ing titles than any woman in history, said today that persons connected with the Olympic and Pan American games were mak ing a mistake in putting compe tition on a team basis. "In both the Olympic and the games here," said Mrs. McCor mick, "everything should be on an individual basis. The nations should not be pitted against each other. That makes it political. "That is not a good policy and leads to a lot of misunderstand ing." The stately champion who right now holds five United States diving crowns and is a heavy favorite to win here, is not the first one to make this observation. In fact, AAU offi cials from the United States are opposed to making it a nation vs. nation affair. Eagles Rap Cougar Nine Eagle Point Eagle Point high opened its baseball season yester day with a 13 to 4. The Eagles picked up runs in every turn at bat but the sixth, getting four in the first and three each in the third and fourth. Errors hurt the Prospect cause. Each team got six hits. Dennis Boren, Eagle Point and Joel Walls, Prospect, each col lected two for three. Walls triple was the only extra baser of the game.

Satisfaction Gained In Beating Brooklyn St. Petersburg, Fla.- U.R) Come what may this season, Manager Charley Dressen of the Washington Senators has the satisfaction of beating the Brook lyn Dodgers the team he led to two National league cham pionships. Dressen's Senators came through Tuesday with a 10-in-ning, 4-3, win over the Dodgers on a pinch single by Jesse Le van, climaxing a spring contest that was played as spiritedly as a World Series game. 1 Ted Abernathy and Bob Por terfield held the hard-hitting Dodgers to 10 hits while the Senators had 13 off four Brook lyn pitchers.

"I guess everyone knows by now Williams would have been here March 1, if he weren't in volved in family trouble," said General Manager Joe Cronin of the Sox early today. Another club official, not Cro nin, indicated that an unforeseen hitch has delayed Williams' re turn, which has been expected here momentarily since early Tuesday. 'Ted made up his mind on Sunday," said the official. "Then he changed it again on Monday." Things All Set Williams had Indicated he would be here Tuesday, and Johnny Orlando, the Red Sox clubhouse attendant, had things all set for the 36-year-old out- ting four brand-new pairs of spiked shoes in the locker. After Williams failed to show up, Cronin came into the dress ing room an unusual thing for him and stripped off the name tape. Then he ordered Orlando to remove the shoes and stalked from the room without making any explanations. Williams' exact whereabouts at the present time are not known. Folks at his fishing base town in the Florida Keys haven't seen him there in several days. His partner in a fishing tackle sales business says he hasn't "come around" the office in Miami recently. But now the Red Sox are openly hopeful that he'll be here very soon. 50,000 miles In 50 days, without mechanical failure! That's the amazing record set by a Dodge pick-up with 145-hp.

Californians Wallop OSC Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Un iversity of California baseball team walloped Oregon State college, 7-2, yesterday, at the expense of the Beaver starting pitcher who blew up in the sec ond frame. The Bears scored four un earned runs in the second off OSC hurler Syl Johnson, who issued five walks. A booming single by left fielder Don Walk er accounted for two of the runs. Johnson allowed another three Bear runs in the third on a hom er by Don Musser and a double by Walker. Cal pitcher Doug Weiss held the Oregon Staters to six scat tered hits. Kip Taylor Seeks Rec Center Job Portland U.P.) La Verne (Kip) Taylor, football coach at Oregon State college last season, is an applicant for the post of manager of Portland's planned $8,000,000 recreation center. James E. Polhemus, chairman of the recreation center commis sion, said it would be some time before a decision is made on the several applications for mana ger. Taylor resigned as Beaver coach at the end of the season. WOODS VICTOR Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) Irish Bobby Woods of Spokane, Wash., ended what had been a close fight last night by scoring a seventh round TKO over San Francisco's Jimmy Savala. The battlers were fighting on even ground until the closing seconds of the sixth round when Savala, 134 pounder from Sid Flaherty's stable, was dazed by a sudden onslaught by Woods. He wobbled to his corner and the bout was stopped.
