Logart rallied to win final round3. (International) Boudreau Builds Athletics AroUnd 12 Former Yankees (Thii ii the 13th in a series on the 1957 prospects of the major league clubs). By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor West Palm Beach.Fla. iU.R) Lou Boudreau has only one aim lor the Kansas City Athletics this year to get them out of the American league cellar. He is one of the two Ameri can league managers training in Florida who isn't talking in terms of the pennant the other being Chuck Dressen of the Washington Senators. Boudreau is molding his 1957 team around 12 ex-Yankee-, who are as used to winning as the A's are to losing. Only two infield positions are certain Vic Power, a .304 hit ter, at first base and Hec Lopez at third. Short At Stake Billy Hunter, one of those ex- Yankees, and Joe DeMaestri, last year's regular, are contesting the shortstop post. Milt Graff, a rookie whom the A's obtained in the deal which sent pitchers Bobby Shantz and Art Ditmar to New York, is battling Curt Rob erts, the ex-Pirate who won an other major league shot by hit ting .320 at Columbus last year, for second. Only Harry (Suitcase) Simp son, who batted in 105 runs last year with an average of .293, has won an outfield spot. He will play right. Gus Zernial, the long ball hit ter but faulty fielder, has to beat out Lou Skizas, another one of the ex-Yankees who batted .314 for the A's last season, for the right field post. But Skizas, like Zernial, leaves plenty to be cte sired defensively. In center ex-Yankee Bob Cerv faces a challenge from Jim Pi soni, who looks better than his .265 batting average with Van couver st season recommends. One of the two Hal Smiths in the major leagues will be the No. 1 catcher just like the one who will be the chief receiver fflr the St. Louis Cardinals. Back of his Hal Smith, Boudreau will have Wilmer Shantz, brother of lobby and Timmy Thompson. Three pitchers secured from the Yankees in the Sobby Shantz-Ditmar deal figure to bol ster the pitching staff. They are left handers Rip Coleman find Mickey McDermott and righty Tom Morgan. The three won only 11 games among them last year for the Yankees three less than , Shantz and Ditmar won for the A's but saw lim ited action. Kellner Also SlarW They'll be regular starters for the Athletics along with south paw Alex Kellner, a 12-game winner last season. Two veteran right-handers, Virgil Trucks and Ned Garver, who came to the A's in the deal for third baseman Jim Finigan, will be used for spot starts ad relief duty. Another possible starter is Wally Burnette, who woe six and lost eight for Kansas City after being obtained from Des ver last season. The No. 1 bull pen man will be Tom Gorman, who was 9-10 last season, aiwi another ex-Yankee. Arnie Portocarrero, who ws another chance by winning 10 games with Birmingham last year and the veteran Lpu Kret low, 7-4 with the A's last sea son, have a chance to stick almsg with Ed Blake, drafted frost Tsr onto where he worn 17 TSrhile losing 11; Ben Flowers, ffha failed to make it with t!e Util lies and Cardinals in the X& tional league and Rimlal Efewa, an 11-game winner wiW Yaa-couver. Deer Deaths by Starvation Subject of Walton Panel Chicago, 111. (U.R) Disturb ed by the mounting death toll of the nation's deer by starvation, 0 leaders of The Izaak Walton league of America hope to focus nationwide attention on this ca tastrophe during their 35th an nual convention to be held in the Mayflower hotel, Washing ton, DC, April 3-6. On Friday morning of the con vention, following the annual election of officers, the League will present a panel of experts, moderated by C. R. (Pink) Guth ermuth, vice-president of the Wildlife Management institute. Panel members will include E. L. Cheatum of Albany, N.Y., chief, bureau of game, of the New York Conservation depart ment; Roger Latham of Harris burg. Penn., chief, division of re search, of the Pennsylvania Game commission; and R. Frank Gregg of Denver, manager of publications for the Colorado ' harvest, especially of female an imals. "There are many times more deer in the United States today than existed when the white man began his invasion of America," declared chairman Robert C. O'Hair (Glen Ellyn, 111.), of the executive board of the Izaak Walton league. "The league felt that some thing should be done to halt this unnecessary waste. Realizing that public opinion still is one of the major forces for good in this country, the board decided to call in a panel of experts to discuss the theme: 'A Modern Look at Deer Management.' We hope that these experts will come up with enough startling facts to arouse the general pub lic, and, at the same time, pro duce some constructive suggest ions for remedying the evil." Game and Fish department, in collaboration with Gilbert N. Hunter of Denver, game manag er. Not Enough Food Not only these three major deer producing states, which counted an appalling death toll of the popular big game animal the last several years, but near ly every other state with a large deer population has come face to face with the startling fact that there are too many deer for the supply of natural feed. And, beyond that fact, most of the game department have rua squarely into the paradoxical sit uation of powerful opposition to every attempt to increase the The deer plight is only one of many conservation subjects that will be taken up at the conven tion which begins with board and committee meetings today, and continues through passage of resolutions at the morning session, Saturday, April 6. There will be a similar panel discus sion of the controversial subject of spearfishing, the annual ban quet on Friday night, featuring an address by Under Secretary Hatfield Chilson of the Depart ment of the Interior, considera tion of plans for a new national headquarters for the league, dis cussion of conservation legisla tion pending in Congress and talks by leaders from, the United States Senate and House of Representatives.

Halimi Still Undefeated . Paris U.R) The triumph of unbeaten Alphonse Halimi over Italian deaf-mute Mario d'AgSta gladdened the hearts of 50 mil lion Frenchmen today, but if anything, it only made the world bantamweight title picture more confused. Halimi, 25-year-old Algerian who turned professional less than two years ago, seized d'Agata's share of the bantam crown Monday night by gaining a clear-cut 15-round decision at the Palais des Sports in France's first world title bout in 30 years. But indications that d'Agata may protest the decision because of a fire that interrupted the fight added an element of, un certainty. In addition, Halimi's claim to the crown will not be recog nized by the U.S. National Box ing Assn. Pet C&t Cemes Beck After Nine Months Hopedale, Mass.

Electronic Brain Helps Railroads Chicago U.R) A new elec tronic "brain-" to help railroad officials keep track of fleets of box cars was unveiled today. James W. Corbett, vice presi dent of the Southern Pacific line, said the new computing system will help solve the prob lem of distributing the line's empty freight cars along its 8. 000 mile track network from El Paso, Tex., to Portland, Ore. According to Corbett, an IBM electronic computer-will handle 70,000 car records a day, fore casting where traffic demands for empties will be heavy and advising the car distributing of ficer where to move empties to meet shipping demands. High speed data processors feed information to a computor located in San Francisco. The "brain" works out answers in a few moments that would take weeks to get by conventional methods, said Corbett. The car intelligence system is a product of three years of re search by the line and Stanford Research Institute1, he added. Tuesday, April 2, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Nation's Governors Back Safety Council On Highway Speeding Br UNITED PRESS The nation's governors backed the National Safety council to day and condemned highway speeding, even by a president. A United' Press survey failed to turn up a single statehouse chief who condoned speeding by public officials. Only two ad mitted ever having been stopped and none was a flagrant viola tor. President Eisenhower drew critical comment this past week end when press cars following him to' Gettysburg, Pa., were stopped for speeding. Newsmen said the President's car, which was not detained, sped ahead at about 70 m.p.h. The following day. National Safety Council President Ned H. Dearborn said he thought "no public official should be immune from speed laws." Would Lose Votes Tennessee Gov. Frank Clem ent admitted lie sped a bit in California during the 1956 na tional campaign, but said he slowed down in his home stale "because somebody might see me speeding and I might lose a vote." It was generally conceded, however, that concern for safety rather than politics held gover nors' speeds to legal limits. "Excessive speed is the No. 1 killer on our -highways and streets," Texas Gov. Price Dan iel said. "Speed limits are set for everyone. There should be no exceptions for public officials. We should set the right ex ample." Others who made special men tion of their agreement with the safety council were Idaho Gov. Robert E. Smylie and Arizona Gov. Ernest McFarland. A handful of governors went so far as to say they always drove under slate speed limits. Illinois Gov. William G. Strat ton, according to his driver, has established a policy of "start early, don't go over 60, enjoy the ride." Illinois has no fixed speed limit. Utah Gov. George D. Clyde said he usually drove at 60 m.p.h., but admitted there was one occasion when he went fast er: During a state prison riot. The two governors who ad mitted being stopped for speed ing were Michigan Gov. Mennen Williams and Smylie. CASH A ftMSttH OF NOW WMWCC PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL 16 S.
