Lake Readied For Regatta This Sunday Members of Western Speed boat association said today that the course and facilities are set for their annual regatta at Emi grant lake. The races are billed for Sun day afternoon at the irrigation reservoir four miles southeast of Ashland on Highway 66. Stands are up and buoys have been put in place on the course. Most of the work was accomp lished last week end. Racing memtrs of the WSA have spent spare hours at the lake this week tuning up their outboard motors and getting the feel of their craft on the Emigrant surface. Enough entries already are in to assure a full program of events, the WSA officials have said. Some 50 entrants have reg istered so far. There will be six races of two heats each. Heats will be of five laps. Competition will be for B and D stock hydro planes, F hydros and DU, BU and D runabouts. List Should Swell Contestants are expected from throughout Oregon and from northern California. The list of entries is expected to swell over the present total since a number of racers, including some of the local ones, are not planning to register until almost the last minute. Invitations have been sent out to clubs up and down the Pa cific coast. There will be cash prizes as well as trophies for winners. First race is to get underway at 1 p.m. Conlan To Help Direct PCC Grid Officiating Los Angeles U.R) Louis G.

(This is the 15th in a series on the 1956 prospects of the major league clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Charleston, S. C. (U.PJ Man ager Chuck Dressen is quite en thusiastic about having "the youngest club in the American League," but the inexperienced Washington Senators may make an old man of him before the year is out. Dressen says he's keeping his fingers crossed and hoping that the kids pan out, but if they don't, the Senators could wind up in the basement for the second, straight year. If the kids click, on the other hand, Washington could go as high as sixth, but fifth place seems out of reach even though Dressen says he thinks the Sen ators ave "an outside chance" of finishing in the first division. Pitching Is "All Right" Dressen says he thinks his pitching will be "all right, but it shapes up a long way from being spectacular. For starters, he names left handers Dean Stone. Chuck Stobbs and Bob Weisler, ac quired during the winter from the Yankees, and right-handers Ted Abernathy, Camilio Pascual and Dick Brodowski. Hal Griggs, who won 15 games with Chat tanooga of the Southern Assn., last year, has looked good this spring and could shoulder his way into the starting rotation. Old Hickory is the brand of the Bourbon Man fell fi iMwSfe 1 1? it -' This is bourbon at its beet Virile. Robust. Smooth the way you wish all bourbons were. These are not just words the proof is in every barrel. Every bottle. Every glass. Extra years enrich Old Hickory's great bourbon flavor. OBSERVED IN THI BIST CIRCUS BOURBON EISK02T si!4 Titian SIX YEARS OLD 130 080 4. 5 Qt Pmt S6 PROOF OLD HICKORY DISTILLING CORPORATION PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dressen also expects to re ceive some pitching help from right-hander Connie Grob, who won 11 games for Mobile last season and was Washington's No. 1 draft choice last November, and possibly from Al Curtis, an other right-hander, who came to the Senators from the Red Sox in the deal which sent Mickey Vernon, Bob Porterfield and Johnny Schmitz to Boston. Pedro Ramos and Bob Cha- kales probably will head the bullpen crew. In the catching department, Dressen has been heartened by the work of Lou Berberet, an other ex-Yankee. Ed Fitzgerald and Clint Courtney are the other Senator catchers. Infield Not Set Washington's infield isn't set yet but Dressen says he isn't overly worried about it. At first base," he may alternate right-handed hitting Roy Sivers and left-handed hitting Julio Besquer, with Sievers moving to the outfield on days he doesn't play first. Rookie Herb Plews, who batted .302 with Denver last year, has been handed the second base job and Jose Valdivielso will probably hold down short stop although Jerry Snyder also is a contender for the position. Veteran Eddie Yost, who re ports his arm ailment all but healed, will be at third base. In the outfield, Dressen has been playing Pete Runnels, a converted second baseman; little Ernie Oravetz and big, lumber ing Carlos Paula. He also has Johnny Groth, Karl Olson and bonus baby Jerry Schoonmaker along with Dick Tettelbach, Whitey Herzog and Jim Lemon. t , V - M ' -! f PACIFIC WINNFR -Thomas Cahill Jr. (above), one of six regional winners in the U. S., has been named Pacific Regional winner of 10th annual Junior Citizen ship Award presented by Boys Clubs of America. He is son of San Francisco's Deputy Chief of Police Tom Cahill. ORIOLES OPTION Baltimore U.PJ The Balti more Orioles today optioned right-hander Bob Harrison to their Vancouver, B.C., farm club of the Pacific Coast league. Har rison had a 14-12 record with Wichita, Kan., of the Western Canadiens Take Second Straight Montreal (U.PJ The Mon treal Canadiens, fresh from two straight victories over the De troit Red Wings, headed for the Motor City today, hoping to bring back hockey's most prized trophy the Stanley Cup. The colorful Canadiens made no doubt about Tuesday night's second game in the best four-of-seven finals, after coming up with a "frenzied" four goal, third period in the opening game to win 6-4. Tuesday night they jumped out in front with a single goal in the first period and kept im proving it for the next 40 min utes, winning the second game by a wide margin of 5-1. DUCKS CRIPPLED Eugene U.R) Bob Reid, vet eran Oregon pole vaulter, suf fered a sprained ankle in prac tice and probably will miss the Oregon State track meet here Saturday, Coach Bill Bowerman said today.
