Medford&J'bibune Padres1 Success Depends On Help From Cleveland (This is Ihe fifth in a series on the outlook of Pacific Coast League baseball teams for the 195S season.) By UNITED PRESS The Providence Reds were happy they didn't lose goalie Johnny Bower today as they re gained a one-point lead over the Pittsburgh Hornets in their bat tle for the American Hockey League title. Each team has only two games remaining. Earlier this week it appeared Bower would be recalled by the New York Rangers, but he stayed around long enough to help the Reds turn back the Hornets, 4-1, Thursday night at Providence in one of the most important games of the season. By ALEX KAHN Palm Springs, Calif . (U.R) San Diego's hustling baseball club will be as strong this year as Cleveland makes it. The Padres finished second last season and Manager , Bob Elliott now has his fingers cross pH that the Indians send him the help he neds. That's the chief reason for the tie-up with the Cleveland club. The border team is heavy with age. The men Elliott Is counting on mainly are past 30 and some are closer to 40. But despite the years, these are the men Elliott Bill Borcher Future Still Uncertain Portland (U.R) Bill Borcher's future 33 University of Oregon basketball coach remained : un certain today. Borcher. in Chicago to attend a coaches' meeting, said yester day he had not quit the job and had never discussed "in so many words" his resignation with uni versity officials. The Oregon Journal said yes terday Borcher was "through" as coach at Oregon. It quoted "an unimpeachable source" as saying he planned to resign pub licly when he returns from tne meeting in Chicago. To Return Sunday Borcher was expected back in Oregon Sunday. He is reported to have talked to an official of Seattle university and indirect ly about a coaching berth at Clemson. Leo Harris, Oregon athletic director, denied in California that Borcher had resigned but declined to discuss the issue fur ther. Borcher has coached five years at Oregon and the Ducks have a 69-68 record against all competition under him.

C. LirilHGER & sons MEDFORD, OREGON - PHONE 2-5336 or 2-5897 must work with. Some of them have been the stars of past sea sons who must come through again. Even if the veterans do have another good season, San Diego still needs help on the mound and behind the plate if Ralph Kiner, the club's new general manager, is to field a contender. Perhaps one of the most popu lar acquisitions during the win ter was Harry Elliott, the be spectacled outfielder who led the PCL batters with a .350 aver age for the Padres in 1954. On The Bounce Harry was no ball of fire in his second shot with the Cardi nals last year, hitting .256, but Manager Bob thinks -he can top .300 again in the coast loop. And the Padres are counting heavily on Earl Rapp to have an other good season in the outfield. Joining Harry Elliott and Rapp in the outer pasture are Eddie Barr, who was acquired from Portland, and Bob Usher. "I think the outfield will do and I'm banking on our infield coming through," Elliott says. "But I need pitchers badly and our eyes are turned toward Cleveland in the hope that they come through quick with play-; ers." Topping the San Diego mound staff is Eddie Erautt. who had a good season in 1955 with an 18-10 record. He is joined by such dependables as John Car michael, Bob Kerrigan, and Bill Thomason. Elliott hopes Tommy Herrera will play up to his winter league performance and he also has a rookie who may makethe grade in Jim Peete. Peete burned up the Arizona-Texas League last season .with a 24-11 mark. Smith Gone The .infield lost Milt Smith, who was delivered to Cincinnati in a deal and farmed out to Se attle. But Elliott hopes that Dous? Hansen from the Cleveland chain or veteran Al Federoff can hold down second base. At first, the call will go to either Dick Sisler or Joe Macko, who comes from Seattle, while Eddie Kazak is slated for third. Rookie Gene Tanselli from Salem, Ore., is the only shortstop available and Elliott looks for help there, too. Assistance also is needed behind" the plate. So far, Elliott has a lone catcher in Dick Aylward. - - "If we can get three frontline pitchers and a catcher, and short stop we'll be in there slugging," Elliott says. "Cleveland has nine catchers so we ought to get one. I'm not selling my team short. But I couldn't say now how we'll do." ' sT ."Pssl! Special meeting tonight.
