New York - OIPD - Stan Musial, who may quit before the end of the season, and Ted Williams both could drop sharply on the all-time batting average rolls if they continue at their present pace of hit production - or lack of it. Williams, at the end of the 1958 season, stood sixth among the all time hitters with a .349 lifetime average. He dropped to eighth with his .254 mark last year and could fade to 12th or as far as 16th this time around if he goes much below his current .300 average. Musial, after the 1958 cam paign, was 16th among the all-time hitters with a life time average of .340. His 1959 mark of .225 skidded him to 20th and his current .245 average threatens to drop him out of the top 25. Williams will sweat out the season but San the Man may depart by the AH-Star break.

SIPCDHffiTTS Mickelsen Is Choice of Portlanders for Majors By JIM COURII Unite Press International Portland - (UPD - When Port land baseball fans talk about which one of "their" Beavers is the most likely to make the major leagues, the name of Noel Mickelsen usually coincs up first. It s logical. Mickelsen, a 6-foot-6 pitch er, has given- eve.y indication this year in Pacific Coast league baseball play that he's ready to be a major leaguer. The 25-year-old righthander has come on to post a 6-3 record and a 3.16 earned run average in 1960 as a starter after finishing with a 3-6 mark in an entire campaign as a relief hurler with Sacra mento last season. The only thing that interests Mickelsen at the present, how ever, is piling up victories for the Beavers. It's more than just a professional allegiance. For Portland, the lanky hurler feels he's come of age. Traded to Portland Mickelsen was traded by Sacramento to Portland dur ing the winter season for 39-year-old veteran pitcher El mer Singleton. Evidently the Solons didn't think the big Irishman had much of a future. But with Portland, Mickei- Rawls, Ziske Tie for Lead Mount Clemens, Mich.-IUPD- Betsy Rawls and Joyce Ziske the first-round pace setters in the $7,509 women's Wolverine Open, retained the lead Satur day with third round totals of 224 and a three-stroke buldge.

Miss Smith skied to a 78 on the third round for a 54 hole total of 227 and third- place. Both the second and third rounds were played yesterday and the final 18 holes will be played today.

FLOYD 'BETTER FIGHTER' Newton, Conn.-(UPD - Floyd Patterson is "a 50 per cent better fighter than he was a year ago," according to his trainer, Dan Florio.

Group Plans Big Housing Project Woodburn - (UPD - A group called Senior Citizens of the West, Inc., has revealed blue prints for a $10 million hous ing development near Wood burn exclusively for the aged President of the developing firm, George F. Brice Jr., said the project is expected to in volve 1,000 homes eventually. Brice is also president of Se curity Bank of Oregon. His group has taken options on 220 acres west of Wood burn.

Commission Okays Highway Survey Salem (UPD- A location sur vey for an 8.3 mile four-lane highway to connect the Bal dock freeway with the Sunset highway was approved Friday by the Oregon highway commission. The project will cost about $6,500,000, will be built in seg ments and will take up to eight years to complete. It will carry traffic off the Baldock at Bonita road through the Cedar Hills area and connect with the Sunset highway at the Cedar Hills shopping center west of Port land. sen seems to have gotten his big break. Why? Larry Jan sen, the Beaver pitching coach. JaiLscn, an eight-year pitch ing veteran with the old New York Giants of the National league and Portland mound tutor for the past three sea sons, gets most of Mickelsen's praise for his improvement. "Larry has taught me how to get into the right positions and deliver the right pitches at the right times," Noel says. "What's even more important is that he's given me the con fidence I need to go out and win. He's a great guy." Mickelsen has appeared in 77 13 innings already this year. Last season, for Sacra mento, the 190-pounder ap peared in only 114 frames over the entire season. He had a 4.18 ERA. Portland's star hurler sign ed with tlie Milwaukee Braves' organization in 1956 after graduation from San Diego State college. Best Year He's been In the minors ever since, his best year record-wise coming with Evans- ville in the Three-I league in 1957 when he won 17 games and lost only 5. Pro baseball didn't end Mickelsen's education, how ever. He has been working toward his master's degree in education at San Diego State as well as gaining coaching experience as an assistant head S.D. hoop mentor under George Ziegenfuss, a former University of Washing ton Ail-American. Mickelsen, who will get his master's degree next year and who was a four-year letter man in both baseball and bas ketball at the California in stitution, would like to coach in the future. Right now, though, all Mickelsen wants to do is win for Portland. But at the rate hes going, Beaver fans are afraid he'll win himself right out of Portland and Into the major leagues.
