Giants Pitchers Regain '54 Form Phoenix, Ariz. '(U.R) JohnnJ Antonelli and Steve Ridzik, two of Manager Bill Rigney's biggest pitching problems, have the rookie New York Giants' skip per singing today. Antonelli, reverting to his 1954 form, hurled seven innings for the first time in Monday's 14-1 rout of Baltimore, allowing only one run and never more than one hit in an inning. Then Ridzik, who was acquired from the Phillies, seld the Orioles hit less for the last two frames. Today the Giants play host to the Chicago Cubs, but won't have to face old nemesis Warren Hacker. The blond right-hander pitcher six scoreless innings Monday in a 9-5 triumph over Cleveland. Stars Have Problem With Only Five Veterans Back (This is the seventh in a scries on the outlook of Pacific League clubs for the 1956 baseball season.) By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer Anaheim, Calif. (U.R) Only five veterans returned to the Hol lywood Stars this vear but Man ager Clay Hopper isn't too fright ened by the influx of youths provided he gets a little help from Pittsburgh in key spots. "Some of these youngsters have had fine years in other leagues," Hopper points out. "We re hopeful they'll be ready for the fast brand of ball we expect in the coast league this year." ""I'm not too . worried about our pitching and infield. We have some good boys and from what I saw in the Pirate camp in Flor ida, I'm sure we'll get help." Fed Returning Vets Hopper's main problems are making sure his youngsters come through and getting a few more veterans to bolster the club. The only returning members of 1955's club are pitchers George O'Donnell, Ben Wade, shortstop Dick Smith, first baseman R. C. Stevens and outfielder Carlos Bernier. But the Stars and Pirates have given Hopper enough indications he can expect the help he needs to reassure him that the club can get off to a fast start in his inaugural season here after five Clears with the Beavers. Backing up O'Donnell and Wade on the mound are several newcomers who are given an ex cellent chance of making the grade. Chief among these are Chuck Churn and Jake Thies. Churn topped the Southern Asso ciation last year by appearing in 63 games in relief. Others who have impressed the dean of minor league managers are Don Dangleis, Al Grunwald, Fred Green and Arthur Murray. The infield seems well fixed with Smith back at short and Stevens at first although a four cornered battle is on for the job with Paul Pettit, Tony Barti rome and Dutch Van Burkleo also after the position. Mazeroski at Second Either Leo Rodriguez or Corky Glamp will play third while Bill Mazeroski leads contenders for second. If Pittsburgh would send back Curt Roberts for, the key stone job, Hopper's joy would overflow. Bernier is the only experienc ed hand in the outfield, however, and Hopper expects a top season . for him. Rookies Howie Goss and Dick Stuart have been burning up the training camp with their long hits while Gail Henley is a powerful! contender after a year with Mexico City. Only Daryl Westerfield and Nick Koback are available to catch pending Pete Naton's deci sion to stay in baseball or retire. But Hopper says the Pirates have a half-dozen catchers and should be able to spare him one. Larry Baker Not In Hurry For Top Ranked Fighters New York (U.R) Larry Bak er insisted today that he's in "no hurry" to challenge any top-ranked fighters, despite his technical knockout triumph over Pat Lowry in Monday night's bout at St. Nicholas arena. "I've got to learn to crawl, before I can learn to walk," said the methodical Negro from Mt. Vernon, N.Y. "I've got time and I'm in no hurry to get my self overmatched right now." Although an 11-10 underdog in his New York main event de but, 25-year-old Baker certain ly proved that he was not over matched Monday night against Lowry ,of Toledo, Ohio. He dominated the fight all the way and then felled Lowrey with a right cross when Pat tried to take the attack in the eighth session. Lowry still was groggy when he rose and Referee Petey Scalzo halted the action at the 40-second mark when Baker started barraging him. Baker, who weighed 147Vi pounds to Lowry's 14914, was way ahead on the cards of all three ring officials when the end came. On a rounds basis, Ref eree Scalzo favored Baker, 5-1, with one even; Judge Frank Fullam had it 6-1; and Judge Nick Gamboli saw it a 7-0 shut out. It was Baker's 19th win against 10 losses and three draws. For Lowry, it was the 10th loss in 50 pro fights. MAC To Send Seven Girls To Swim Meet Portland (U.R) The Multno mah Athletic club board of trus tees last night voted to send seven MAC girls to the 1956 na tional women's indoor swimming championship April 5-7 at Day tona Beach, Fla. Named to make the cross country jaunt were: Luella Lil ly, Carol McKelligon, Carol Ever ett, Maureen Murphy, Judy Mar tin, Jean Mucha and Lorna Trambley.

Chicago Gubs Seen as Most Improved Team in League (This is the eighth in a series on the prospects of major league clubs for 1956.) By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Mesa, Ariz. U.R) If the Chicago Cubs could get an out field that measured up to the ex cellence of their infield, they could be real trouble-makers in the National League this season. And if they could get off to the same fine start they did last year when they challenged the runaway Dodgers for the better part of two months, they might finish in the first division, be cause Manager Stan Hack thinks he has the league's most im proved club. It is the most changed club, for sure. The Cubs made more off-season deals than anybody in baseball and Hack "thinks the transactions put a real lift into the lineup. He's pleased with the deal that brought Don Hoak, Walt Moryn, and Russe Meyer from the Dodg ers. He likes Hoak at third base better than home run threat Randy Jackson. Infield Rated Good "With Hoak over there we could have the best infield in the majors. Who has any better than Hoak at third, Ernie Banks at short, Gene Baker at second and Dee Fondy at first?" he asked. "They say we gave up too much power when we let Jack son go to Brooklyn. I don't think so. Hoak will make up for that. He has more spirit, more aggres siveness, and better speed on the bases." Hack also thinks the Cubs have better infield reserves with Frank Kellert, another pickup from the Dodgers, as first base understudy, and with the veter an Owen Friend, ex-Dodger Ed die Miksis, and rookie Ed Win ceniak available for utility work at second, short, and third. But when it comes to the out field, there's where Hack's prob lems begin. Best bet right now is that Mik sis will be in center with big Hank Souer in left and Monte Irvin in right. Moryn, who hit five homers in the early exhi bition games, is making a strong bid for the right field post and so is Jim King, another hot per former from early last season. Rookies Fight For Spot Two speedy rookies, Solly Drake and Gale Wade, are bat tling for the center field job against Miksis. If either makes the grade, Miksis will be the number one spare infielder. Irvin is a good day-time hitter and thinks he can do well in Wrigley Field because the Cubs play all afternoon baseball at home. He, too, has been hitting well. Hack thinks Meyer can make the pitching staff considerably stronger and is counting on him SWAPS MAY RETURN Hallandale, Fla. U.R) Rex C. Ellsworth's Swaps, winner of the 1955 Kentucky Derby who was shipped here three weeks ago, worked a sizzling 1:11 six furlongs Monday and may re turn to the races soon. There are three handicaps remaining on the Gulfstream schedule and trainer Mischak Tenney may start him in one of them. SIGNS TO PLAY New York-U.R) Tom Hein sohn of Holy Cross has signed to play with the College AllStar basketball team that will tour the country with the Harlem Globetrotters. The 18 city-series opens in Madison Square garden next Monday with day and night games. as a fifth starter along with fire ball ace Bob Rush, Warren Hacker, Sam (No Hit) Jones, and Paul Minner. The catching is adequate de fensively but won't contribute much at the plate unless some body unexpectedly develops into a higher average hitter. Hobie Landrith, who came from Cin cinnati in a trade for reliever Hal Jeffcoat, is the number one guy at bat with a .253 mark last year. He'll battle it out with Harry Chiti for number one spot while Clyde McCullough and young Elvin Tappe compete for the third-string job. Hawks Fayored In Playoff Tilt By UNITED PRESS The home court edge makes St. Louis and Philadelphia the favorites in playoff games in the National Basketball association tonight, with St. Louis thus gaining a berth in the champ ionship finals. The St. Louis Hawks hold a 2-1 edge in games over the Fort Wayne Pistons in the West ern division finals and need only a victory tonight to cop the best-of-five series.' If they miss tonight, however, they'll be in trouble, for the fifth and de ciding game would be in Fort Wayne on Thursday. The Philadelphia - Syracuse series is knotted at one victory each, the Nationals bounding back to beat Philadelphia in the second game, 122-118, at Syra cuse on Sunday in a game that set a playoff record for total points by two teams. The Warriors, regular season winners of the Eastern division crown, remain the choice to win the playoff series because, in cluding tonight's game, two of the next three games are sched uled in Philadelphia. Orioles Announce Lepper, Pisoni Option Scottsdale, Ariz. (U.R) The Baltimore Orioles announced to day they have, optioned second baseman Don Lepper and out fielder Jim Pisoni to Vancouver of the Pacific Coast League. Lepper hit .114 in 40 games for the Orioles last season while Pisoni hit .270 for San Antonio in the Texas League. The Orioles also optioned pitcher Lloyd Goz ney to San Antonio where he had a 1-3 record last season. STEWART VS.

McAndrews Phone 2-4107 Pelton Ruling Presents Problem Portland U.P.) Pelton dam, proposed hydroelectric structure on the Deschutes river for which Portland General Electric com pany is letting contracts, posed a real problem for the State Wa ter Resources board meeting here yesterday. In light of Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton's recent opinion that a federal license does not override state author ity to regulate use of water, the board agreed to give the conflict between state and federal au thority more study before reach ing any decision on what action the board should take. PGE is letting contracts for the dam under a license granted by the Federal Power commis sion. The Oregon Hydroelectric commission had earlier refused a permit for the project. The United States Supreme court has ruled that the FPC has the right to grant the license de spite the state ruling. On the other hand Oregon state law governing the board states, "It is of paramount im portance . . . that the principle of sovereignty of this state over all the waters within the state be protected and preserved."

The impact threw the Bois jolie car against another, injur ing Mrs. Frances Nelson, 50 Clackamas, who suffered a back injury. Tuesday, March 27, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIKS Voter Registration Due Despite Ruling Eugene (U.R) Circuit Judge Frank Reid yesterday or dered the Lane county clerk to disregard an opinion by the state attorney general that would stop registering Eugene voters for the May 18 primary. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton's opinion advised Har ry Chase, Lane county clerk, to stop taking Eugene registrations for the May primary on the grounds it is illegal to accept registrations within 30 days be fore any election. Eugene has a special election today and also a school election set for April 26. Thornton said that registrations were not valid after February 25 and that Eu gene residents would not be eligible to register until after the primary election. Judge Reid said the only "reasonable and sensible" inter pretation of the law was to al low voters to register for the primary until April 17. Veferan Producer Has Heart Attack Hollywood (U.R) Veteran producer Walter Wanger, 61, re cuperated today from a mild heart attack he suffered while taking an electrocardiograph ex amination.
