The five players were named in ballots cast after the close of the 1941-42 season by the captains of the teams and the offi cials who served in the league games. Only one of the five is new to the ranks of the all-stars Taking them one at a time, here's how the five stack up: Ernest Bishop of the First Nationals is - on the squad for the third time in his three years of play in the league. Outside the league Bishop is manager and. second baseman for the Klamath Falls Pelican baseball nine and is a former Washing ton State college athlete. Joe Bellotti, also of the First Nationals, is a former KUHS Pelican cage star and a brother of Aldo Bellotti who was hoop ing them for. the high school this season. This is Bellotti's second year in the all-star line up. Wayne Scott, new to the league this year, played on the Rickys five besides coaching the KUHS Wildcats through a very successful season.

Culbert L. Olson. The governor's message said that army authorities had called to his attention the fact that camp or other outdoor fires burning at night might serve as beacons to enemy aircraft. He also pointed out that the unrestricted use of flashlights. flares, radios, fire-arms or other devices in certain areas present a hazard to the welfare and safety of the people of Califor nia. Tip From An Ex - Insider Will Be Toughies in National By GEORGE KIRKSEY TAMPA, Fla., March 18 (UP) The man who knows the St. Louis Cardinals better than any body outside their own organ ization says they are going to be mighty tough to head off in the National league pennant race. He's Ray Blades, who al most led the Cards to a pennant in 1939 but is now one of Bill McKechnie's chief lieutenants with the Cincinnati Reds. "I'm familiar wit:, most of the players on the St. Louis club," Blades said before today's game with the Giants. "The majority of them played under me, and most of the rest I knew in the minors. It's my observation that the Cards will be tough to beat all right. But it's also my guess that they'll be in a little trouble If anything should hap pen to catch Gus Mancusco. He did a fine job for ' them last year and is a more important man on that club than Is goner a1' supposed. "Mind you, I'm not saying the Cardinals will win the pennant but they are going to cause a lot of trouble. I don't like to compare clubs, but I think the Reds, Cardinals and Dodgers all have their strong points. With Cincinnati it's nitchlne and de- fense, Brooklyn has a more sea soned team and fellows -who can hit the ball over the fence. The Cards have the speed, all-round Jo Bellotti this year, his first in the league. winner for Rickys, was the league's highest scorer of the season, .racking up 144 points in 12 games. This is the second year in the league and second year on the all-stars for Put nam, former star athlete for Keno high school. Russell Marshall of the Dor ris Townies completes the squad. Marshall was not in the league last year but altogether has won his way into the all stars three times. He recently completed a course in physical education at the University of Oregon and may find his way int a coaching job soon. All five men were somewhere in the top 10 in total scoring for the year and were shining lights on defense as well. Kovacs Defeats Riggs in Salt Lake Exhibition SALT LAKE CITY, March 18 (UP) Frank Kovacs defeated Bobby Riggs 1-8, 6-1, 6-3 Tues day night in the feature match as four touring tenuis profes sionals renewed their series here. In the other singles match Don Budge defeated Les Stoe fen, 6-3, 6-2. Budge and Stoe fen then teamed to beat Riggs and Kovacs 8-6, 6-3 in the only doubles match. Stoefen replaced Fred Perry, who was injured and unable to compete. Salt Cellars When poisoning was an art, many nobles in medieval times kept their salt cellars locked as a precautionary measure as they were a popular receptacle for the lethal dose.' Lighting frequently stops when rain begins to fall, since rain acts as a conductor and quietly discharges the electricity to earth. strength and strong replace ments on their two class dou ble 'A' farm clubs in case there's a real pinch for players because of the war." The young Cardinal players with whom Blades is not fa miliar are the rookies: Outfield er Stan Musial, First Baseman Ray Sanders and Pitcher How ard Pollet, but he's seen them in a couple of exhibition games this sprii.g, "Musial looks like a great hit ter," Blades said. "Sanders also looks like a hitter. I like his stance at the plate and his cut, but he's supposed to have a bad arm. He might be able to get by with it but there are times when it may hurt the club like when ' man's on first and a ball's hit to the infield and there's no play at second. If Sanders can't stop that man from going to third, It may prove a big disadvantage. 1 haven't seen much of Pollet but he looks like he's sneaky and has good control '..a lefty." Blades, an old outfielder him self, does not think the Reds' outfield Is as, weak as rated, be cause of the ground covering ability of the three top-line Cin cinnati gardeners. "With Mike McCormick, Craft and Goodman playing the outfield," Blades said, "the Reds will be ts good defensively as anybody.

The two main eventers, both for the rules, did little actual wrestling and much squirming and slamming In the legal part of their battle. They fought on even terms but the crowd was all for Lopez. Cyclone Cy finally got Lopez ; in a hammerlock that made the former Idaho university giant give up. Cy liked his hammer lock so well, however, after re ceiving several haymokcrs'from that same arm earlier in the bout, that he refused to quit yanking. Referee Earl Yoaklcy prompt ly reversed his decision and gave the fall to Lopez as soon as he could pry Williams off. Williams gave vent to his opinion of the ruling by tossing the 227-pound Lopez over the ropes and bat ting him back when he tried to climb In again. Yoakley dived out and gave Lopez another fall and the match, holding Williams at bay with an upraised chair. Lopez got in his final act by tossing a chair Into the ring at Williams, who was disarmed just in time to keep him from throw ing It back. Another chair in the hands of one of the spectators dissuaded Williams from climb ing out of the ring and continu ing the fracas. After some min utes of wrangling with the mill ing audience Williams went to the showers. The feature bout of the even ing was won, as it should have been on St. Patrick's day, by Jim Casey, doughty lad from Kll larney with massive shoulders topping 223 pounds of muscle. In sad disregard for tradition, Casey wore purple tights but that didn't spoil his Irish luck in tossing Pedro Brazil of South America for two out of three falls. Casey proved light on his feet for all his bulk and had the bet ter of the going until he won the first fall In the second round on a couple of flying marcs and a press. Brazil came back shortly after ward with a pair of backward catapults that evened things up at one fall each, but when he at tempted to repeat that perform ance Casey refused to be cata pulted and put Brazil down for the count with a hcadstand. The opening bout matched the Montreal Frenchman, Andre Adoree, against Am Kallio, a Finnish lad.
