Iff) Rogers Hornsby, the greatest right- handed hitter in baseball his tory, says batting success de pends mainly on confidence and good eyes. The Rajah, back in the "ony business I really know" as coach of the Chicago Cubs was explaining the facts of hitting during a workout of Cubs who reported early to get some b'atting tips before regular spring training be gins. Hitting ability is one of the things the Cubs need most and that's what Hornsby has been hired to teach. "Why even Ted Williams, the best hitter in baseball to day, can still improve," said TTnrncKv wlnn ctill wallre tn the batter's box and rifles line FORCED INDOORS This Is something you've never seen before and it's not basket drives to all fields. ball.

Here, the St. Louis Cardinals work out at the YMCA "Confidence and knowing in St. Petersburg under the watchful eye of manager Freddie Hutchinson (rear). the strike zone are the two most important things about hitting," Hornsby said. "If the hitter goes up there convinced he can hit, and he stays away from bad pitches, he's likely to get his hits," said the man who posted the highest single season average In the modern history of the game a .424 for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1924.

NEW TICKET PLAN Washington (IP) The Washington Redskins have decided to stop selling season tickets this year when they reach the 20,000 mark so that out-of-towners and other fans will have a chance to see the Redskins play. Thus far the club has sold 13,735 season tickets, - well ahead of last I year s pace. training camp, said the White Sox would be "8 to 10 games better than last year." Thus, he expected the team to win between 98 and 100 games, compared to the 90 collected by the 1957 team, and he anticipated that would be more victories than the Yankees could garner. New York last season won 98 games. "This is going to be a "closer race," Comiskey said. "It won't take as many wins as before to win the pennant. I think we'll win more games than we did and the Yankees won't win as many, so I think we can win it." Comiskey believed the White Sox, who made two major off-season trades, had improved its pitching staff, which he rated 60 per cent of winning baseball, while "hurting" no more than one position, center field. I don't know that we hurt center field," he said, speak ing of the deal sending Larry Doby to Baltimore, "with Jim Landis and Bubba Phillips available to play there. At least we didn't hurt it defensively." Pitching, Comiskey declar ed, is far the most important factor in a winning ball club, and he couldn't see how the Yankees had improved in that department. That's the weakest part of their club," he said, "and added age isn't going to make Yogi Berra or Hank Bauer any better. "They're the same in other positions, so they haven't im proved and we have. With us, Detroit and Baltimore win ning more games, some of them have to be over the Yankees, so they can't win as many. "And if they don't, well win the pennant." Last year, Comiskey said, after July, there were two American League races, "two teams for the pennant, and six for the first division. This yea r," he said, 'there'll be more teams in the pennant race, and it'll be closer all the way." Oregon Frosh Triumph 65-46 spts Oregon Frosh 13 .... Longview, Wash. OP) The University ' of Oregon' Frosh led all the way in a non-conference game with Lower Co lumbia JC Tuesday night to dump their hosts 65-46 and hand them their 18th loss in 19 gamers. For the Frosh it was their 10th victory in 13 starts. Bob Hunt and Denny Strickland led the winners with 15 and 14 points, respectively, and Terry Bonesteele was high for LC with nine.

The two overtime contests were played in the West Coast Athletic Conference. St. Mary's grabbed second place from Santa Clara by defeating the Broncs, 61-58, and College of Pacific upset San Jose State, 63-61. In the Northwest, Gonzaga university's f French import, Jean LeFebvre, poured in 50 points to lead his team to a 75-52 win over Whitworth college. LeFebvre, whose 7-foot, 3 inch frame won him the nick name of "The Tall Gaul," has finally established himself as a real threat. Something Lacking Early in the season, the big boy from Paris was a great attraction at the gate but he did little more than get in the way. When the chips were down, the "faster sec ond string" was quickly sent into action to salvage the vic tory. The Tall Gaul would end up with from 8 to 11 points. A few weeks ago, big Jean suddenly began to click. His point totals climbed into the 20s and finally the 30s. Then Tuesday night, in the first en tire game of his career, Le Febvre shattered the school and gymnasium scoring rec ord and snagged 20 rebounds for honors in that depart ment. This French boy has defin itely arrived during his first year of collegiate basketball and he's apt to be around for a while. Gasoline Price War in Corvallis corvallis (in A price war on retail gasoline prices went into its sixth day here today as gasoline dealers in five Willamette valley cities sought to end the price re duction in the face of profit losses of as much as 50 per cent. Forty-five dealers fronvEu- gene, Springfield, Corvallis, Albany and Junction City met in Eugene to discuss steps to bring gas prices back to nor mal levels. Regular gasoline sold here for as low as 22.9 cents per gallon, a slash of about 12 cents, and premium grades here went as low as 28.9 cents a gallon. At the Eugene meeting late Monday, Charles Golforth of Portland, president of the Ore gon Gasoline Dealers associa tion, said a majority of the oil companies "are expected to cooperate in settling the price war."

Wednesday, February 19, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEIC Money Market May Make Next Move To Stimulate Business School News... CP, Jewett Schools By JODY VAN HORN Thursday, Feb. 13, two B championship basketall games were played. In the fifth grade, the Black 'Comets A beat the Black Comets, B, 8 to 4. In the sixth grade the Trot ters beat the Tigers 12 to 1 By ELMER C. WAL2ER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) The next move to administer a further stimulant to Dusiness is ex pected to be made in the money m a r- ket. . Wall Street looks for the big spending on public works, includ ing the post office rehabili' Elmer Walzer t a t i O n pro gram, highways, schools, and myriad other things to take hold some time from now. And hence, if there is to be a new shot in the arm it must come through the money market where two things could be done, namely, an other cut in the discount rate, and a reduction in reserve re quirements. The latter would add billions more to available bank credit. Addition to bank credit would not indicate at all that the funds would be borrowed hastily, but the Street be lieves such change would be highly beneficial psychologic cally to both businesses and the stock market. Another Dip If bank reserves are low ered and if the discount rate falls again, the remainder of the money market probably would dip to get into line and this includes the "prime loan rate which now is four per cent. Another move that can be expected if the money changes do not bring the desired re sults is a tax cut, according to the experts. International Statistics Bu reau regards a tax cut as one of the most important moves that could be made now to stimulate the economy. " "Recent tendencies certain ly suggest a tax cut," says the bureau. "The only question at the moment is what form it will take. It is certain that if unemployment should gain further during the next 60 days and an upturn should be delayed, the tax cut could even be retroactive to July 1 as a result of the withholding tax program, its effect would be felt quickly." Tax Cut Helpful A tax .cut might be helpful to the stock market also from the psychological viewpoint. The market that really would benetit irom lower money rates would be bonds, accord ing to the Alexander Hamil ton Institute which has the following advice on the stock market: "For the time being, new commitments in stock should be deferred except for spe cial situations of unusual merit or stocks of assured dividend and favorable yield. A better opportunity is like ly to be offered for buying into companies with cyclical characteristics."' Investors Advisory Institute feels that aside from any psy chological fillip supplied by prospects of increased govern ment action the market is most likely to respond to first quarter 'earnings reports ex pected to show generally poor comparisons.

The present attitude of growing unemployment can be blamed on news re ports on local radio, televi sion stations, and newspa pers, he said.
