Lauderdale, Fla.-IUPU-Working on the theory that if at first you can't be right, at least be among the first, Fear less Fraley today picks the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago White Sox to win the 19(51 baseball pennants. It wasn't easy, what with being subjugated to all this spring sunshine, bathing beau ties, post-mortems of the fight mob over the late and unlamented heavyweight title fight, a bad string of losers at the races, horse, dog and human and more fishing shut outs than a Saturday shop keeper.

Hal Lapp, head mentor during the recent sea son, said he had been told he would not be rehired. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. But here's the way it stacks up from here: National League 1. San Francisco Giants, 2. Milwau kee Braves, 3. Los Angeles Dodgers, 4. Pittsburgh Pirates, 5. St. Louis Cardinals, 6. Cin cinnati Reds, 7. Chicago Cubs and 8. Philadelphia Phillies. American League 1. Chi cago White Sox, 2. Baltimore Orioles, 3. New York Yan kees, 4. Cleveland Indian-. 5. Minnesota Twins, 6. Detroit Tigers, 7. Boston Red Sox, 8. Kansas City A's, 9. Los An geles Angels and 10. Wash ington Senators. Kuenn Big Help Considering the National League first, the Giants get the call in this corner because Harvey Kuenn figures to make the infield jell instead of jelly; Bill O'Dell should get back on the track with Juan Marichal as a big sur prise while Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda supply the power. The Braves will be running at them as long as Spahn, Burdette and company have any arms left at all and prob ably the best infield in base ball puts them in the picture all the way despite Charlie Dressen's mournful whistling. The Dodgers are packed with pitching but Frank How ard can't make me forget the dulled or departed likes of Hodges, Furillo and Snider. I didn't think the Pirates would win last year and this time I'm sure the clock will strike for the Cinderella club and they'll ride home in a pumpkin. The Cardinals, off their strong finish last year, are talking pennant. But this is not the end of the year, only another distressing beginning. The Reds as usual, need pitch ing help and maybe milkman Jim Turner can help. But you have to look through the long end of the binoculars to see how much. The Cubs are still the Cubs. The Phils are saved from ninth or 10th because Houston and New York do not join the league until next year. You don't win without runs and the Phils can't get 'em. Sox Have Pitching The Chicago White Sox gel the nod in what could be t five-team race in the Ameri can league on the strength of their all - powerful pitching, Last year when the starters were winning, the relievers should have been paying their way into the ball park-and vice versa. This lime there are high hopes that they'll get to gether. The Baltimore Orioles ap pear to have loo many rookies who must make good as soph omores - a debatable chore, while the Yankees have more troubles than llicy have been accustomed to in many years. Their woes are centered on the hill and Casey Stengel's departure won't. be as negligi ble as the owners try to make it appear. The Indians could make' a run for the top money, or fall flat on their collective faces. Overall, their replacements seem too thin. The Twins have plenty of power but the question is whether the pitching can come through strong enough for them to make a first divi sion run. The Tigers have too many bright new faces, some of which have to be false. At Boston, Jackie Jensen replaces Ted Williams - a soothing swap at least -otherwise this still is a sentimental but battered plaything. The Athletics must battle all the way to prove that, instead of deserving eighth place, they don't deserve 10th. In an out-and-out battle for ninth and 10th, the Angels seem to have done better in the American league's $2 mil lion grab bag than Washing ton. Which means that the "new" Senators-as differenti ated from the transplanted and, surprisingly better, "old" ones -put the long suffering Washington fans right back where they were a few years ago. Anybody for football? Odds-Makers Pick Yankees And Pirates ' Reno, Nev. - il'I'l! - Reno odds-makers today estab lished the New York Yan kees and Pittsburgh Pirates as favorites to win the 1961 American and National league pennants. The Yankees were listed as "odds-on" picks at 2-3 with odds of 51 quoted on both the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles. The Pirates were made a "lukewarm" 2-1 pick, with the Milwaukee Braves pegged at 5-2 and the Los Angeles Dodgers at 31. ; - ' 'i j , DAVE D'OLIVO Independent League's Most Valuable D'Olivo Tops SOI6L All-Star Selection Wooden Shoe's Dave D'Olivo heads the list of Southern Oregon Independ ent Basketball league all-stars announced by League Presi dent Harry Chipman. D'Olivo was the top scorer in the circuit and was named as its most valuable player. Second place Wooden shoe placed three men on the all- league team . Bill Hollings- worth and Keith Johnson were picked along with D'Olivo. Champion Southern Oregon college junior varsity was' represented by Larry II i n Vc and Dave Graham. Given honorable mention were Al lvlcLorquadale and Bill Irwin, Butte Falls, Dale McCay and Al Yates, Med ford National Guard, and Dale Bates, Wooden Shoe. 224-Point Total D'Olivo totaled 224 points and had the most field goals, Two Viewed as GOP Washington -IUPII- Rep. Wil liam E. Miller of New York and Ray C. Bliss, Ohio Repub lican chairman, were viewed todav as the strongest candi dates for the chairmanship of the Republican National com mittee. Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, chairman since April 11, 1959, announced Monday he had notified the committee he would call a meeting about June 1 to re ceive his resignation and elect a successor. Miller is chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign committee, which boasted a net gain of 21 house seals in the 1960 election even though the GOP failed to win the White House, Bliss, Ohio GOP chairman s Kin Near Death Fort Worth, Tex. -IIIPD- Mrs. Nadine Reynolds, 57, step grandmother of actress Deb bie Reynolds, hovered near death today with a bullet in her brain. Authorities said she shot herself and a suicide note in dicated she did it because she couldn't bear the loneliness of widowhood. Doctors at John Peter Smith Hospital, where she worked as a nurse's aide, said she remained in critical con dition and unconscious, but they would not perform an immediate operation to get the tiny bulla), out, She left three suicide notes. Mrs. .1. D. Davis, a sister, said one of the notes said: "Forgive me, but I just can't stay alone here any longer." W. G. Reynolds, Debbie's grandfather, died a year ago, and friends said Mrs. Reyn olds had been depressed ever since. Agriculture Budget Cut Order Denied Salem-iUPIl - Sen. Francis Ziegler (R-Corvallis) denied Monday that his ways and means subcommittee ordered a SfiOO.OOO cut in the S7 mil lion Stale Agriculture Depart ment budget. He said it was a suggestion. lie said the action was not a firm order but a request that the department bring In a revised budget. The action brought com plaints from Gov. Mark Hat field and others that the slash had not been justified. "We want it checked," Ziegler said, "but if It is going to hurt the agriculture indus try, we wouldn't order the cut." The subcommittee Monday afternoon launched an item by item study of the budget as proposed by Hatifeld, in cluding justifications for an increase of S524.000 over the current budget. 109. Hollingworth had 212 second high points, and top per game average, 19.9. D'Olivo followed in average with 18.7. Other point lead ers were Hink and McCay with 170 each, McCorquadale with, 148, Yates with 139, Johnson with 134, Graham with 126 and Steve DcFore, SO jayvee, with 123. The 109 field buckets by D'Olivo represented the only individual league record set this year.

O. Walker of Laredo, Tex., bought himself a $l,575,O0U South Texas ranch. lie made the deal at an auc tion, in a financial battle of nerves that outstrips any frontier game of showdown poker. His prize was the legendary Dobie ranch - a 55,711 acre kingdom known for mesquile and mayhem, mavericks and mystery. Friendly men now roam its wide ranges -mending fence, making repairs and getting the rich spread ready for its first herd of cattle in more than a decade. Few Texans ever heard of Walker before he beat down a handful of the "big rich" for the Dobie prize. The bidding started at $1, 015,000. Steadily it climbed. Gus Worlham, Houston insurance millionaire said "SI, 111.000." E. P. Welder of Victoria push ed it to Sl.280,000. Each lime, Walker was there with a "dab" more. Henry Grace of Wichita Falls, Tex., bid in al $1,500, 000 and asked auctioneer George Clower what was for lunch, hamburgers or steaks. "Neither in the terms of the contract," Clower replied. Steady and serene, Walker made it $1,550,000. Grace added another $5,000. "W h o'll go 81,575,000?" asked Clower. Wiggles Finger Walker, his spectacled eyes shaded under a wide-brimmed New York Mayor Undergoes Surgery New York - llll'll - Mayor Robert Wagner underwent surgery Monday for removal of a benign tumor below his right car. The mayor, who is 50, en tered Memorial hospital Sun day to undergo tests prior. to the operation' directed by Dr. Daniel Collin, a friend of Wag ner.

Aged to Perfection TUESDAY, MARCH 21, Finger Completes on Texas Deal Texas hat, wiggled his ban- daged right forefinger: "All right," he said, and it was over. Nerveless J. O. Walker had bought the Dobie ranch. The last owner was South Texas political boss George Parr, who borrowed up to the hilt ' on the property and lost it when a new political regime foreclosed. The Dobie ranch was found ed in 1900 by J. M. Dobie, uncle of the noted western author, J. Frank Dolye. It be came in eighth - and by far the largest spread - owned by Walker. Its 87 sections sprawl through the Nueces river country of Duval, Webb and LaSalle counties. One entire section, 640 acres, is enclosed by a 10-foot fence and is re ported to be one of Texas' best hunting preserves. But who is J. O. Walker, the new "lop hand" of the Dobie? It's hard to say. The Eisenhower Back On Golf Course Palm Springs, Calif. - IliFll Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower is back golfing again. The former chief executive played a round of golf Mon day at El Dorado Country Club. He had been away for eight days fishing and dove shooting in Mexico until Sun day. An aid said he was con fronted with a "room full of mall'' when he returned to the $100,000 rented cottage he and his wife, Mamie, are occupying on their extended vacation along the El Dorado course fairway.

DEAN & TAYLOR KSXSr 6th and Grape Call SP 3-7421 "The West offers great things to its people, and one of its most pleasant aspects is Hermitage bourbon." 1961 soft-spoken Walker shuns pub- ncuy. "Ever since I bought tha ranch people have been call ing me at all hours of the day and night wanting me to buy things and give them money," he said, explaining his stand. "They think that just be cause 1 could buy the ranch, I have the money to make fab ulous donations," Walker added. How much money does Walker have? That too is hard to tell. He got in the sudden death auction with $100,000 "earnest money." He'll have to pay the rest after the legal procedures are complete. May be it's in his pocket, maybo it'll be a loan. Walker isn't saying. No one in Laredo seems to know how Walker made his money. One acquaintance said, "Ho is a director of the Union Na tional Bank . . and he has found oil on some of his prop erty. He runs a lot of cattle, I hear, owns several thousand acres of Webb county prop erty." "He's a plain man," said a waitress who often serves him. a mid-morning cup of coffee.
