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

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.

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

day with a 13 to 4.

Satisfaction Gained

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

Dodgers to 10 hits while the
Senators had 13 off four Brook

Sarasota, Fla. , U.R) The
Boston Red Sox officially admit
ted for the first time today that
Ted Williams intends to return
to baseball.
"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.

expense of the Beaver starting
pitcher who blew up in the sec
ond frame.
The Bears scored four un

OSC hurler Syl Johnson, who
issued five walks. A booming
single by left fielder Don Walk

Oregon State college last season,
is an applicant for the post of
manager of Portland's planned

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.

A weird overtime triumph
gave the Fort Wayne Pistons a
2-0 stranglehold on the Western
Division finals of the National
Basketball Association today,
while the Syracuse Nationals
jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the
Eastern finals.
A free throw by Andy Phillip
was the only score in overtime
at Indianapolis Tuesday night
as the Pistons beat the defending
champion Minneapolis Lakers,
98-97. The Lakers now must win
three straight games to take the
best-of-five series.
The Nationals staged a 37

at Syracuse to beat the Boston
