MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, April 7, 1939 Yankees To Lead By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Tampa, Fla.-The Yankees and the Braves again. That's the way the 1959 ma jor league pennant races look to me after six weeks of cov ering the spring training camps in Florida and receiv ing reports on the four Arizona-based clubs. It looks like the Yankees Tornado To Oppose Ashland Wednesday A schedule of five games faces the Medford high base ball aggregation this week although the Black Tornado has a bye in the Southern Oregon conference ' counting contention.

STUART FINED Fort Myers, Fla. -(OPD- First- haseman Dick Stuart of the Pittsburgh Pirates was fined $100 Sunday for failing to make Saturday's exhibition game with the Chicago White Sox. Stuart said he missed the team bus from Fort Myers to Tampa because he over slept. He said he tried unsuc cessfully to arrange transpor tation by car or plane. He also admitted he deserved the fine.; and (Braves Picked Pennant Graces in a breeze. They may spread eagle the field again like they did last season when they vir tually had the American league pennant wrapped up by July 4. The Braves may be in for rough sledding because of a second base problem. But they appear to have too much pitch ing and all-around strength for the other clubs in the Na- Point on Friday. In the Jack son County B league the same day. Butte Falls will vie at Prospect in a scrap for league leadership and Talent and Jacksonville will be rivals at Talent.

Experts Choose Turley, Friend New York-(UPD-Bob Turley and Bob Friend, two rugged righthanders who blend nat ural speed with a thorough knowledge of their trade, have been picked today as the like ly "major league pitchers of the year." The New York Yankees' World Series hero and the Pittsburgh Pirates' 22-game winner were the top-heavy choices of the United Press International Board of Base ball Experts. The board is composed of UPI Sports Edi tor Leo H. Petersen and UPI Baseball Writer Milton Rich man in addition to 48 writers and broadcasters who cover ed the teams in spring train ing. -.. ,A Twenty-five of the 50 ex perts selected Turley--to be the American League pitcher of the year while 23 picked Friend to win that honor in the National League. Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox" and Frank Lary of the Detroit Tigers tied for second choice in the AL with seven votes each. Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves was second in the NL balloting with 10 votes. Forest Grove (UPD : The Portland Pilots scored ' five runs in the seventh inning of the first game to defeat Pa cific 7-4 and then edged the Badgers 2-1 .in the second game of a baseball twin bill Monday. tional league. Here are this observer's pre dictions on the 1959 finishes: American National New York . Milwaukee Detroit Pittsburgh Chicago Los Angeles Boston Cincinnati Cleveland San Francisco Baltimore , Chicago Kansas City Philadelphia Washington St. Louis Yanke Have It Probably the best bet is that the Senators will finish last again. While none of. the rival managers in the league are conceding the Yankees the pennant, they privately ad mit they can't see how the New Yorkers can be beaten. Yankee Manager Casey Sten gel maintains they can't either. Stengel may be a little short on pitching unless the Yankees make a deal, but they have everything else it takes, in cluding a bench made up of players who would be regu lars on any of the other teams. And whenever a weak ness crops up in the Yankee array, they usually make a deal to get men they need to win again. Most baseball men agree Detroit is the most improved club in the league because of the acquisition of relief pitch ers Ray Narleski and Don Mo si, third baseman Eddie Yost and shortstop Rocky Bridges. But Manager Bill Norman nixes any Tiger pennant talk, explaining that "you have to finish in the first division be fore aiming at a pennant." The Tigers finished fifth last season. Boston Has Power The White Sox, runners-up to the Yankees the past two years, lack power, although Manager Al Lopez steadfastly maintains that either the Ti gers or White Sox could beat the Yankees. The White Sox also lack relief pitching. Boston has plenty of power, provided Ted Williams is able to recover from his spring ail ments, but they may be short on pitching and they hurt their defense when they traded outfielder Jimmy Pier sail to Cleveland. Manager Mike Higgins also has the same old infield problem and lacks pitching depth. Cleveland has problems at short and third base and even if Herb Score comes back, which is doubtful, doesn't ap pear to have the pitching it takes. Both Baltimore and Kansas City have to wait until their youngsters develop and that won't be for another year at least. As for the Senators, they just don't have it. Miss Schoendienst Manager Fred Haney of the Braves professes not to be worried about second base, but the fact is Milwaukee still is trying to make a deal for Johnny Temple of the Reds or Junior Gilliam of the Dodgers. Haney admits the Braves will be hurt by the loss of Red Schoendienst, but then points out he has the best pitching in the league and there is nothing wrong with his outfield, if Wes Cov ington and Billy Bruton re cover from their knee injuries, the infield or the catching. The v Pirates lost power when they traded Frank Thomas and may be short in second line pitching. If big Ted Kluszewski comes back at first, 'and it looks like he has recovered from his back injury, he may supply the power that Thomas did last year. But the Pirates would be hurting if any of their first stringers should be injured. Their bench is weak. , Los Angeles could fool them all-if Duke Snider and Gil Hodges can return to their old form and their promising pitching staff of such young men as Don Drysdale, Johnny Podres and Sandy Kouf ax live up to their potential. Giants Lack Pitching Cincinnati appears to have the power necessary to win, but. its pitching is a big ques tion mark. Despite the trade in which they acquired Sam Jones from the Cardinals, reports from Arizona say the Giants still lack pitching. They have long distance hitting but have an infield problem around short and secqnd. Daryl Spencer can play only one of those posi tions and if he is shifted to second, where the Giants have been weak the past few years, they may have a shortstop problem. Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis could wind up in quite a battle for the last three positions. The Phillies appear to have the best pitching of those three clubs and thus are rated sixth. The Phillies need more power, as do the Cubs. The Cubs have young pitch ing which has yet to prove it self. The Cardinals have outfield weaknesses and don't figure to get very far with only two MedfordsTribune White Sox Said Team To Watch For Speed, By JOE CRONIN American League President Boston -(DPD In making my first pre-season forecast in my new position with the Ameri can league, I am confident that exciting competition and an abundance of action and thrills will be the reward for the millions of fans of all eight clubs during the 1959 season. During the coming cam paign the American League will present a full array of established stars and intro duce many bright newcomers to the baseball firmament. These were the observations I brought back with me from a recent tour of the Florida training camps, during which I saw six of our teams in ac tion. I did not enjoy a first-hand study of the Arizona-based Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians, but have been en thused by reports coming out Beavers To Brawley, Calif. - (UPD - The Portland Beavers, idle Mon day, go against Seattle Wed nesday at El Centro in a Pa cific Coast League exhibition baseball game. Marty Kutyna, a righthand er Portland recently bought from Cincinnati, had his first workout at the Beavers' camp Monday. The Beavers' record so far this spring stands at 7-8 in the training games. Folley Ring Win Expected Tonight Denver (UPD Zora Folley of Chandler, Ariz., was ex pected to depend on swift left jabs tonight to defeat under dog Willie Besmanoff of Mil waukee in a 10-round heavy weight bout at Denver Coli seum. The German-born Besma noff was expected to out weight third-ranked Folley by about 10 pounds. Promoter Milt Willner pre dicted a crowd of 4,500. HOCKEY Boston-(UPD-Even the "walk ing dead" were expected to don skates and get back into Action tonight when the Bos ton Bruins collide with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh and deciding game of their Stanley , Cup semi final. V The winner goes into the National Hockey league final against the Montreal Cana diens. Three of Boston's four in jured defensemen were ex pected to. play. Even Dough Mohns, the fourth cripple and said last week to be definitely out of the best-of-seven series, might see action. Toronto's hopes were given a shot in the arm when doc tors gave classy center Larry Regan an okay to return to the hockey wars. Regan suf fered a fractured right hand in the third game of the series TITLE BOUT CHANGED Indianapolis, Ind. (DPD -Floyd Patterson will defend his heavyweight champion ship May 1 . at the Coliseum here instead of at Las Vegas, Nev.' His opponent will be England's Brian London, the fourth-r a n ked heavyweight, according to ' the National Boxing association. " OSC Continues Winning Streak McMinnville (DPD Oregon State continued unbeaten here Monday with a 9-2 win over Linfield in a non-league base ball game. Roy Critser hurled the win for Ralph Coleman's Beavers. He also drove in three runs, Kim Bradshaw had 3-for-4 in cluding a home run and three RBI's. established starters Larry Jackson andWilmer Mizell and such old-timers as Al Kell ner and Marv Grissom in the bullpen. Buy At Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Tile Bricks, Flues 727 W. MeAndrews Phone SP 3-4575 or SP 2-4107 r Color of both camps in the west. The addition of Jim Pier- sail and Billy Martin has giv en the Indians tremendous new color. Added to a lineup which includes players like Rocky Colavito, who gives every indication of establish ing himself alongside the game's great attractions, this new blood also provides the Indians with the element of definite contention. A come back by Herb Score to go with a fine young pitching corps enhances this possibility. The RedVSox have also pro fited in power potential by the deal in which they obtained Vic Wertz from Cleveland. A Boston bombing group with Pete Runnels, Ted Williams, Wertz, MVP Jackie Jensen and Frank Malzone coming to the plate in that order can mean a great deal to the hopes of Red Sox fans. Of the Florida-based teams, the world-c h a m p i o n New York Yankees still boast the luster of the most solid team in baseball today. Casey Sten gel's champions are definitely rated by all their rivals as the team to beat. Chicago Is Ready The Chicago White Sox found a slow start in the 1958 race too great a handicap to overcome. This year they ap pear ready to go with the opening pitch. Speed and color will make the White Sox a team to watch. Chicago will still boast its outstanding keystone combination of Nel son Fox and Luis Aparicio (the latter recently termed the games's greatest shortstop by Donie Bush, a skilled and re spected baseball man) and will introduce new faces typi fied by a promising youngster, outfielder Johnny Callison. Detroit's pitching depth im pressed me very much. The fine Tiger round staff of last season will be backed up by Don Mossi and Ray Narleski. With proven potency on ' at tack provided by such stars as Al Kaline, Harvey Kuenn and Frank Boiling, the Tigers are rightly touted on all fronts this year. Baltimore has blended a combination of familiar stars and new faces in what seems certain to be a successful quest , for notable improve ment. Outfielder Willie Tasby is one Oriole who, like other American League bright new comers, promises to delight the fans. Gus Triandos, living up to his nickname "Tremen dous Triandos," exemplifies the veteran punch in the line up. The Oriole pitching also has a good balance of veterans and youngsters. Can Give Trouble When I watched the Kan sas City Athletics in spring action, Hal Smith was filling the bill at third base, an im portant item for the team. Bob Cerv leads the way in a power-packed lineup, while Ralph Terry tops a pitching staff that can be troublesome for all the Athletics' rivals. The true picture of poten tial competition in the Ameri can league race may be seen in the fact that the Washington Senators, who finished eighth last year, won 10 of the 22 games' against the , first-place Yankees. Paced by potent Roy Sievers, who seems head ed for another great year, and a capable pitching staff, the Senators hope to dish out the same dose in battle with all other clubs this season. Competition of this nature from opening day to final bell, combined with continued American league domination io the All-Star Game and World Series, would make a new president's first year in office a memorable one in deed.

Dodger Park Case Before High Court Los Angeles-(UPD-The final phase of the legal controversy over the Los Angeles Dodg ers' attempts to get a stadium site in Chavez Ravine rested with the California Supreme Court today. The court, sitting in Los Angeles, heard 45 minutes of arguments by opponents of the Chavez Ravine site and then took the matter under submission. The state's highest court previously had upheld the transaction in which the city agreed to transfer the site to the Dodgers. Chief Justice Phil S. Gibson limited Mon day's hearing, to arguments over whether the city housing authority had the right to alter a deed restriction limit ing use of the property to "public purposes." The Supreme Court gave no indication when it would rule in the new legal point holding up start of construction of the 55,000-seat sta'dium. The Dodg ers have been using the Memo rial Coliseum as a temporary home.
