pro-amateur tussle.
Chuck Van Linge, No. 5 Stan
ford team member and one of
the late finishers yesterday,
made his first tour of the local
links with a three-under-par 69,
to top the entire pro-am field
and cop the amateur low gross
prize. His teammate, Warren
Dailey, No. 1 Indian, was close
behind with a one-under-par 71.
Al Feldman, Tacoma, was the
professional leader with his 71
on the course during a very wet
part of the day.
Feldman and his amateur
partner, Bob McReynolds, Port
land, knotted with Fred Hill,
Grants Pass pro, and Van Linge
for the pro-am best ball honors.
Each carded a 66.

Freddie Hutchinson Finds
Coast Loop Foreign; Can't
Predict Concerning Suds
(This is the third in a series
on the outlook for Pacific
Coast league teams for th
1955 season.)
By, SCOTT BAILLIE
Palm Springs, Calif. U.R)
Freddie Hutchinson, a stranger
in his old home town, has come
back to manage the Seattle Rain
iers and finds the club and the
league so foreign that he can't
guess what the Suds will do.
"I don't know the team and I
don't know anything about the
Pacific Coast league," Seattle's
favorite ballplayer said today.
"You won't hear me sounding
off about how we'll finish and
any manager is nuts who tries it
with a minor league club subject
to recalls and options."
Hutch took over the Rainiers
last fall after managing Detroit
for three seasons with fifth
place being his best result.
"Well, our catching is pretty
solid, I can tell you that," Hut
chinson said as he spit over the
top of the dugout. "And we have
some good glove men around the
infield. Pitching has been good
in spots. We look good defen
sively but our hitting has not
been too strong."
A Clean Sweep
The Rainiers got out the
broom after finishing fifth last
season and among those swept
or dealt away were Manager
Jerry Priddy, second baseman
shortstop Artie Wilson, outfield
er Jackie Mayo, third baseman
Leo Thomas, outfielder Clarence
Maddern and Al Zarilla and
pitchers Bill Evans, Gene Bear
den, Steve Nagy and ., Van
Fletcher.
As a result of these and other
deals Seattle acquired Rocky
Krsnich for his second whirl at
third with the club, first base
man Marv Zernia, who clubbed
.297 for Buffalo last year, south
paw hurler Jehosie Heard of
Portland and catchers Joe Gins
berg and Johnny Ritchey.
First Base a Problem
First base is a problem five
Rainiers. couldn't handle last
years and Hutchinson hopes he
is well set with Zernia. Jack
Bukowatz, who played the bulk
of second base in 1954 while
Wilson swung between that bag
and shortstop, is holding down
the keystone, again and rates as
a good glove man in Hutch's
book. Gene Verble, a .252 hitter
from Chattanooga of the Class
AA Southern association, Is
working well and hitting gome
at shortstop.
Krsnich is back in charge of
third although frank Freddie
warns his men that no position
has ben cinched. Marv Williams,
a second base candidate from
Vancouver hit .360 there last
year and looks powerful.
Hutch is loaded with south
paws, spearheaded by pint sizel
Vic Lombardi, who hurled for
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh two
years ago, saw service at Holly
wood in 1951 and was 9-7 for
Toronto of the International
league last year. Another good
left hander is Moe Savransky,
(0-2) at Cincinatti, as is Heard
(3-3).
Veterans and Newcomers
Right-arm tossers include El
mer Singleton (13-13) at San
Francisco, veterans Al Widmar
(8-13) and Vern Kindsfather (4-6)
and Bob Kelly (13-8) at Indian
apolis of the American associa
tion.
Ginsberg, former Detroit reg
ular who hit .291 at Indianapolis
last year, challenges Ray Orteig
for the post although the latter
has been doing some heavy
swatting this spring. Ritchey
also has a lot of tower.
Candidates for the outfield
spots include Bob Balcena and
Art Schult, both irom the Yan
kee farm club at Kansas City
where they were strong .260 and
.270 hitters. K. Chorlton, who
only goes by the initial of his
first namet walloped .349 at Van
couver of the Class A Western
International league and is fast,
Carmen Mauro also has been
impressive. He batted .271 in 35
games last year with Seattle.
George Schmees, who checked
in late, may have some trouble
getting one of the outfield spots
from the eager collection of
newcomers.
THOMPSON HOLDS LEAD
Miami Beach, Fla. (U.R)
British Open champion Peter
Thomson of Australia carried a
one stroke lead over three oth
ers today as the Miami Beach
Open golf tournament moved
into the second round. Thomson
carved out a six-under-par 65
in Thursday's opening round to
hold a narrow lead over Bob
Inman of Tulsa, Okla., Gene Lit
tler of Palm Springs, Calif., and
