SAMIf Ml ASCENSION An ex-Pollcan ballplayer has wound up with the Brooklyn Dodgers. And we do not want anybody to say H serves him r'griu' it, I. "Bio Bill" HanausKa, wnusu "'8 nc-.v last summer was confined main ly to the verbal, what with him being laid up with a sore shoul der for the major part of last season during which the Klam aths finished second in the Ore gon State circuit. But he recovered sufficiently to heave some fine ball for Wil lamette again this spring. Fine enough so that the Brooklyns signed him with a ?1500 bonus and shipped him to Santa Bar hrra of the California State league where he won three and dropped none up to the time the loop folded. He was trans-shipped to La Mesa of the West Texas wheel thereupon. His record there, al though unrevealed, was certainly not bad enough to cause that league to fold, which it did nev ertheless. The Bums still owned him, howsomever, and packaged him off to Johnstown of the Pcmv aylvania league. There a couple of weeks back he tossed a seven-inning no-hitter at a Yankee farm club for his third win against two losses. He's still at Johnstown and, barring the draft, may be hauled into the Dodgers" spring training camp next year. From the Willamette to the! Gowanus in one year is nothing but uphill, even if you are from Salem. WAIT AND SEE Walt Disney's newest film, "Bambi," scheduled fori release soon, is either the victim of a po tentially potent boycott or the object of an extraordinary astute publicity campaign. The medium is Outdoor Life, one of the more persistent of sportsmen's organs, which calls the picture "the worst insult ever offered in any form to American sportsmen and conser vacationists." This broadside, founded on the charge that W. Disney has de picted Joe Average Sportsman as a wanton, fire-setting, doe killing demon with a 30-30 in alfV.nr linnri nnd n tnrrh in his hair, will either (a) bring sports men ana tneir iamiiies uoucuig to tne cinema or koi Keep mem flocking at their hearthstones in tacit admission that some other guy can tell 'em what to do. - A.fnrHincr tn a "news" stnrV. transparently masking six thick paragraphs of one sloe 01 tne is ciio rpmipcta for - a different treatment by leading conserva tionists met only refusal Dy uis ney productions.

' Tf thf baseball fans of Ohio have any knack for solving puzzles, they might use that talent to good advantage right now by finding a reason for the sudden collapse of their two entries in the major leagues. ' Not so many days ago the Uleveiana inaians were ranmra-uu in the American league, the Cincinnati Reds were skipping along in third place in the National loop, ana cmzens 01 me guc state were speculating on the " ere ot u games ahead. nossibility of an all-Ohio world series for the first time in his tory. But today the Indians and the Reds look as if they'll be extremely fortunate to finish in the first divisions. Each team has lost nine of its last 11 games. The Reds have dropped into fourth place, only three games away from the second division. The Indians are hanging on to third in the American league by four per centage points but will find themselves sharing that position if the St. Louis Brownies win today. The Pittsburgh Pirates, gun- nine for Cincinnati's first divi sion place, handed the Reds their sixth setback in a row yesterday and beat Paul Der ringer in the bargain, 9-2. The drubbing left the Reds 6Vj games behind the third-place New York Giants, who were idle. The Detroit Tigers pasted the third straight loss on ithe In dians. 6-1, in a twilight game Elsewhere in the American league, the Philadelphia Ath letics shut out the Washington Senators, 8-0, in a night game and the Boston Red Sox divid ed a doubleheader with the New York Yankees, ' continuing a stretch duel that would be more interesting if the Yanks ated Press, that the spectacular will become much more com mon and that upsets will , be lurking behind every goal post. Rex Enright of South Caro lina university says he expects a slight drop in the caliber of play but "that it will not be ap parent to the general public be cause of the evenness. There will be more variance in the quality of play from week to week because of poor reserves and the use of freshmen and this will mean more upsets." Another coach compared the drop in quality with a track meet, declaring that the average fan "can't tell the difference between a 4:08 and 4:12 one mile run without a stop watch." Many conferences, led by the Big Three of Yale, Harvard and Princeton, will use freshmen forecasting fumbles and surprise touchdowns. Only the larger circuits Big Ten, Pacific Coast, Big Six, Southwest, Southern and South eastern have remained firm in their stand not to use newcom Whopper NATIONAL UADUI W L POL W t PrK ItrookKn SO 55 .190 Pittsburgh 54 59 .47S St. Loui ?4 4i Chlcaso M R3 .143 Nr Yorlc S5 5S JSt Boston 4S It .100 Cincinnati .55 JJ J04 Ftillidtl. -Strati WidnMday't RmuIU St. Txtuit 5. t:hlcap I.
