Editor's Notes: This is th 10th in a
series on the 1936 prospects of the
major league clubs.
B? LEO & PETERSEN
United Pze& Sports Editor
St. Petersburg. Fla. U.R
The New York Yankees are go-
ing into the 1956 American j
League pennant race as the fa
vorites, and Manager Casey ;
Stengel agrees thy deserve that
rating.
"Everyone tells me I have the
best talent in the league, and I
agree," Stengel winked. "But I
ain't selling those Red Sox, In
dians, White Sox and Tigers
short. Those Red SSx especially
could hurt us real bad."
Casey may "platoon 'em to
death this year."
" "I've got enough guys who are
major -league players, e but I'll
have to find spots for them
especially when I have nine
shortstops going for me," he
explained.
Outfield Poses Problem
His biggest problem is his out
field of Hank Bauer, Mickey
Mantle and Irv Noren. All three
were tlow par when the Yan
kees lost the World Series to the
Brooklyn Dodgers last October,
because of various injuries.
Casey isn't too worried about
Mantle and Bauer, but he is so
worried about Noren that he has
been playing first baseman Joe
Collins, in right field.
Stengel, a master at juggling
talent, said any manager in the
league would like to have such
otufield candidates as Bob Cerv,
Elston Howard, and a rookie by
the name of Norm Siebern.
For the infield there are Col
lins, if not needed in the out
field; Bill Skowron and Eddie
Robinson battling for the first
base job. Billy Martin probably
will be atesecond with Phil Riz
zuto starting the season at short
and Gil McDougald at third
base.
Yogi Set As Catcher
Also in the infield picture are
Jerry Coleman, Andy Carey,
Bobby Richardson and a rookie,

Pistons Favored
For NBA Finals
By UNITED PRESS
The Fort Wayne Pistons and
Philadelphia Warriors are favor
ed to score victories on their
home courts tonight and thus
advance to the final round of
the National Basketball associa
tion playoffs.
Both semi-final series are
deadlocked at 2-2. The Pistons,
after dropping the first- two
games, made a brilliant come
back to take the next two and
now are picked to win the "big
one" over the St. Louis Hawks.
G The Philadelphia - Syracuse
series has followed the home
court pattern.
In Wednesday night's only ac
tion Syracuse evened. the count
in the eastern finals by nipping
the Warriors, 108-104, at Syra
cuse.
Syracuse had a 12-point lead
early in the fourth quarter, 86-
74, but the Warriors rallied and
Joe Graboski's three-point play
with one minute left narrowed
the gap to one point, 103-102.
That's where Ed Conlin, the
rookie from Fordham came
through again with a free throw
and a field goal to clinch mat
ters.
Morgan Scores
Lightburn Upset
Cleveland (U.R) L. C. Mor-
wgan of Youngstown, Ohio, is
"ready for anyone in the top 10"
of the lightweight ranks, his
manager insisted today in the
wake of a unanimous decision
over favored Ludwig Lightburn.
Lightburn took a 9-count in
the first round when Morgan
who lost a split decision to the
veteran lightweight here last
September, abandoned his jab
bing tactics and unleashed a
stinging right cross which land
ed squarely. Lightburn, winner
of 39 of 45 pro bouts until to
night, termed the blow a "bolt"
that forced him to coast for four
rounds.

Yogi Berra, of course, will be

As for his pitching, Stengel

are two lefties, Whitey Ford and

had 10 fights in 13 months

In one stretch he was kayoed

Short memory department:
Only 20 years ago San ' Fran
cisco basketball writers were
terming Hank Luisetti of Stan
ford ' university the "greatest
basketball player of all time,"
and pointing out "there will
never -be another like him." To
day they are using the same
adjectives to describe Big Bill
Russell, .the USF All-American.
The two men had something in
common, at that: Russell has
forced rules changes for the
cage game two years in a row.
Luisetti was the man who
changed all concepts of coach
ing by - popularizing the one
handed shot. Before Hank,
coaches used to pull players out
of the game for '.'show-boating"
if they faried to shoot with one
hand. '
Softball Group
Meets April 2
Medford Softball association
will hold its first meeting April
2, at 8 p.m. in room "B" of the
YMCA.
Officers will be nominated
and plans for formation of a
softball league will be discussed.
According to Herb Vessey, as
sociation president, no organized-
softball league was started
last year because there was no
playing field readily available
and there was a lack of inter
est show at meetings.
Work on a playing field has
now begun and it is hoped that
representatives from Eagle
Point, Central Point, Camp
White, Jacksonville and other
communities interested in form
ing a softball team will attend
Monday's meeting, Vessey said.

Oregon hunters i
registered "significant progress"
during 1955 in reducing the
number of forest . fires, game
law violations, and firearms
deaths and generally improved
their relations with landowners,
the Red Hat Day Committee re
ported today to Governor Elmo
Smith.
As part of a 4,000-word re
port, Chairman L. C. Jack Bin
ford urged the Governor to con
tinue Red. Hat Day educational
activities among the state's
landowners and sportsmen in
1956.
"The 26 sponsors of the pro
gram were unanimous in their
opinion that the. campaign was
a success," Bihford stated. "But
we can't hope for sustained im
provement of hunter conduct
from just one year's efforts."
Among high lights of the re
port: The U. S. Forest service re
vealed that about half the nor
mal number of fires were attrib
uted to hunters during Oregon's
1955 hunting seasons.
One Fire
On the 20,000,000 acres pro
tected by the Bureau of Land
Management, there was only one
hunter - caused fire in 1955 com
pared with three in 1954. Fires
caused by smokers, debris bur

Talent Successful defense by
the Talent high Bulldogs of the
District 5B baseball crown they
have won- for the last two sea
sons may depend largely on the
development of a pitching staff,
Coach Gene Farthing has indi
cated. The Bulldogs have had top
pitching for four or five years.
Last year there was a lack of
young fellows in the turnout and
the mentor thereby was unable
to "bring along" a tosser' for his
campaign.
Bob Hoffman and Eldon Mc
Garity loom as likely pitchers
this year and Gordy Thoreson
and Fred Helm can go to the hill
if necessary. . The staff could
measure up to those of the past
recent years as it develops.
Eight Leiiermen
Farthing this year has eight
lettermen on his squad. In prac
tice scuffles the Bulldogs have
lost a five v inning fray to Ash
land, 8 to 0, with the Grizzlies
using their better hurlers and
have tipped the Ashlanders, 7 to
4, in seven frames when the Lith
ians ' were utilizing freshman
throwers. Talent also lost, 22 to
1, to Grants Pass last week end.
Thoreson and Ray Weinhold
are three-year lettermen and
Ron Weinhold and Helm each
have won two monograms. One

Casanova Has Praise for
Medford School Athletics
Athletic programs in Medford
schools drew praise from Len
Casanova, University of Oregon
football coach, last night at a
dinner meeting of Medford Lions
club.
Casanova was principal speak
er, at the dinner which honored
the Medford high and St. Mary's
high school basketball squads
and coaches.
"I am happy to see that the
people in this community see the
great benefits of starting in "com
petitive athletics at an early
age," the Oregon gridiron mentor
declared. He spoke of the lessons
in physical and moral courage,
determination, selflessness, loy
alty and team effort learned in
competitive spots and mentioned
feats in games which exempli
fied those qualities.
The qualities and feats were
pointed out after Casanova
asked, "Have you thought on
why did you have a good sea
son?" Little Extra Effort
Casanova also brought out that
athletics teaches hard work. He
told how competition on the ath
letic field can ingrain that qual
ity of a "little extra effort" that
does not come from the coach
but comes from within. The men-
during the deer hunting season
the ratio of arrests to hunters
contacted was the most favor
able since 1951.
The State Department of Ag
riculture' asserted that only four
domestic animals were shot and
that gunfire injury to farm an
imals was the smallest for any
similar period on record.
The Oregon Game Commis
sion announced a drop in hun
ter firearms fatalities from 13
in 1954 to 10 last year in spite
of greater numbers of sports
men afield.
Hunter Conduct
The Industrial Forestry as
sociation stated that two out of
three of its 45 tree farm owners
believed that hunter conduct
improved during 1955.
The State Forestry depart
ment reported a new record low
for the. number, of forest fires
on state land during the recent
deer hunting season. ...
"The program has demonstra
ted that it has public appeal,"
Binford concluded, "and an ex
cellent start has been made in
paving the way for a continua
tion of this type of educational
program in future years."

Musial Says
Out For 7th
Swat Title
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Stan Musial wasn't fooling
when he said he was "going all
out" to win his seventh National
League batting title this year.
The great St. Louis Cardinal
slugger laughed when he said
he "had to win the title because
I haven't had a raise in salary in
five years," but there's nothing
funny to NL pitchers today
about his .358 Grapefruit
League batting average. (
Musial had one of his best
days of the spring Wednesday
when he blasted a double and
two singles to drive in three
runs and lead the Cardinals to a
13-4 thrashing of the Cincinnati
Redlegs.
Willie Mays, singled out by
Musial as likely to be one of his
principal rivals for the title,
weighed in with his seventh
home run of the opening and
1954 World Series hero Dusty
Rhodes clouted No. 5 to give the
New York Giants a 6-5 decision
over the Baltimore Orioles.
Larry Doby, another tremen
dous spring hitter, blasted his
sixth homer but it - wasn't
enough as the Milwaukee Braves
tallied four times against 15-
game winner Billy Pierce in the
first inning and went on to
down the Chicago White Soxs
7-4.
