An ankle sprain in the workout Tuesday with Crater high has sidelined Wisely.

(U.R) The Yan kees easj, the Dodgers after an other close race with the Braves and Redlegs. Those are the 1957 pennant predictions of this baseball writ-' er after watching the 12 clubs training in Florida for five weeks and examining the re ports on the four teams which conditioned in Arizona. . Here's how this observer sees them finishing this year: American league: 1 Yankees; 2 Indians; 3 Tigers; 4 White Sox; 5 Red Sox; 6 Athletics; 7 Orioles, 8 Senators. National league: 1 Dodgers; 2 Braves; 3 Redlegs; 4 Car dinals; 5 Phillies; 6 Pirates 7 Giants; 8 Cubs. In the National league, there's plenty of support for the Dodg ers,' Braves and Redlegs, who finished in that order last sea son with only two games sepa rating them. The Dodgers get the nod be cause they won in 1956 despite the fact most of their stars-had for them sub-par years. With the return of Johnny Podres, Dodger pitching figures to be stronger. Milwaukee is standing pat on the club which finished a game behind the Dodgers last' year. The Braves have pitching and a good bench, but they also have second base and left field prob lems. As for the Redlegs, they are the power club of the league, but they appear short on pitching. They also may have a third base problem and do not have as good a bench as Brooklyn and Mil waukee. Here's a Bourbon you will pour with pleasure Ia a Skizas Tops As Hitter, Pilots Agree . By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Fort Myers, Fla. U.R) Button-hole Casey Stengel some time and ask him point blank who is the greatest natural look ing hitter he has ever seen. Think you know the answer, Here are a couple of hints it is- not either Mickey Mantle or Joe DiMaggio. , . . "The greatest natural looking hitter I've ever' seen," says the Yankee manager, without bat ting an eye, "is Lou Skizas." Skizas, ah eccentric dark- haired Greek, currently is pa trolling the outfield for the Kan sas City Athletics and it is rather significant that Lou Boudreau concurs with Stengel in his opinion. "I can readily understand why Casey would say that," declares Boudreau. "If there's anything in this world Skizas can do, it's hit." Always Over .300 Take a look at some of Skizas' credentials. Playing the outfield for Norfolk in the Piedmont league in 1951, he hit .311 before being tapped by Uncle Sam for military service. When he came out he spent part of the season with Birmingham of the South ern Association, where he bat ted .305, and part with Kansas City, then in the American As sociation, where he hit .320. With Denver in 1955, he carv ed out a cool .348 figure. Last year he started out with the Yankees, was dealt to Kansas City June 14 and finished with a .314 average in 89 games. If the 2D-year-old Skizas is such a hot-shot with the bat. how come the Yankees let him get away, you ask? Well, there's the rub. Hit Any Pitcher "He can hit any pitcher who ever lived," Casey claims, "but when he gets out there in the outfield . Stengel doesn't finish but it is no secret that the chunky Skizas isn't pushing Tris Speak er for defensive laurels. "We heard that Skizas was supposed to be a 'butcher' in the field," Boudreau says, "but 1 certainly can't complain about the job he has done for us out there. He dropped only one ball out there in the field last year." Boudreau, however, hastily knocked on wood and added, "I hope I'm not talking too quickly." FIFTH STRAIGHT LOSS Los Angeles (U.R) The Los Angeles Angels were, badly in need of an exhibition game win today when they took the field against the San Diego Padres. The once-mighty Angels lost to the Padres, 6-2, Thursday. It was Los Angeles' fifth straight loss. SPORTS LINFIELD WINS McMinnville 4J.R) -Linf ield edged Portland ,State 5-4 in a baseball game Thursday by scor ing two runs in the ninth inning on Gene Manley's pinch -hit single.

KYJC YOUR MAIL TRIBUNE SPORTS STATION Friday, April 3, 1937 MEDFORD (ORESOK) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE WSA Gets Lake Site Ready For Regatta There'll be some feverish ac tivity tomorrow at Emigrant lake. Members of the Western Speedboat association and the Medford Civil Air Patrol squad ron will be accomplishing the fi nal tasks at the lake in prepara tion for the annual motorboat regatta. And some of the early arriving contestants will make practice runs on the irrigation reservoir. The regatta is slated for Sun day with the first race at 1 p.m. It will be a six race program wtih two heats in each race. Possibly some elimination heats will be run-off before 1 p.m. Some of the best drivers from western Oregon and northern California will be on hand. While few entries are in at pres ent, WSA officials still antici pate the usual large number of boats and skippers. Most of the drivers wait until Saturday or Sunday, on their actual arrival in Medford or Ashland or at the lake to make their presence known. However, at least one racer, Paul Woodruff, Salem, has let it be known that he'll vie in three events, D hydro, D utility and F hydro. Other races .will be in B hydro and B utility and D service. There's every Indication, with the report of a new motor oiit, that speeds will be greater this year. Les Manosar, a likely driv er from Crescent City, Calif., re portedly has gone 72 miles per hour with a new D motor. WSA members said that the fast races are planned first Sun day for the convenience of those who would like to see the fast action but would prefer to leave the lake early. Also the sound set up provided by the CAP is said to be an improvement over past years and it is felt that race fans will be able to better hear and understand what is taking place. The CAP will have charge of the concessions at the lake and will supervise parking of cars. Again the regatta will provide an opportunity for all-day famv ily picnics at the lake which is off highway 66 southeast of Ash land. The WSA has continued to ad vise boating fans not to bring their pleasure craft. Pleasure boats will not be permitted on the lake because of danger td the race drivers and their frail craft.
