The University of Oregon gained another notch on the idle Oregon State Beavers and push ed Washington deeper into third place with their second victory in two days over the Huskies yesterday. John Bubalo of Ore gon bested Doug Ford of Wash ington 2-1 in a brilliant exhibi tion of pitching by both boys. At Pullman Washington State struggled further out of the cel lar by hanging a 13-5 defeat on Idaho. The Vandals have yet to win a conference game. Oregon scored two runs after two were out in the seventh to break up the Bubalo-Ford pitch ing duel. Bob Caviness got on base on Bob Wenke's error and came home on Barney Koch's double. Koch scored on Bill Hamel's hot grounder through Wenke. Washington squeezed out a tally in the ninth. Bill Taylor made first on a dropped strike, moved up on a wild pitch and Bill Gissberg's third single, and scored on Bob Warren's bunt. Bubalo limited the Huskies to five hits and Ford gave Up but six. Al Akins, temporarily turning his talents from track to base ball, smashed out two home runs to pace Washington State to its victory over Idaho. Shortstop Rosey Bergman hit another four baser for the winners, and First Baseman Don Aries had a per fect day at bat with a triple and two singles in thfee official times up. Idaho got all its runs ti the fifth inning on three walks, three hits and an- infield error. . , . Cal Premature In Shelving Grid Schedule SEATTLE, April 28 (JP) Ath letic executives of California schools in the Pacific coast con ference were a bit premature in drawing up a tentative southern division football schedule, with northern members omitted. Ro land Belshaw, University of Washington atnieiics manager, said yesterday. "It will require a vote of six managers to shelve the fall schedule," Belshaw commented. "Then, in the event it is decided to operate a split conference as a war measure, we must make our recommendations to . the . faculty representatives. They have the final say in the matter." Belshaw said the splitting of the conference was discussed at the December meeting, and the managers decided to await the June meeting for a decision. Northern division athletic man agers, he said, had not discussed the proposed split since the De cember meeting.

Portlanders Top Ladder In Ball Race Beavers Tangle Padres' Bats for 6 to 5 Victory; Other Tilts Postponed By The Associated Press Portland was king for a day at least in the Pacific Coast Base ball league after successfully tangling with San Diego's big bats for a 6 to 5 victory yester day. Portland s victory, plus a 6 to 2 defeat handed Los Angeles by Hollywood, left the Beavers alone in the league leadership. The three previously had been tied. The other two games yester day, San Francisco at Oakland, and Seattle at Sacramento were postponed because of weather. League statistics yesterday gave San Diego the team batting leadership, with .289, pressed closely by Seattle with .286. After that the clubs, in order, were San Francisco, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland and Sacramento. The Portland-Seattle contest was tight, with the Beavers com ing through with the winning tally in the ninth. Centerfielder Ted Gallic doubled, advanced on a sacrifice and scored as John Gill was tossed out at first on a slow roller At Hollywood Manager Char ley Root pitched and batted his club to victory The former Chi cago Cubsjiurler knocked in two of Hollywood's runs and pitched the full nine innings, allowing seven hits crack at the Japs, and in this view he has the support of Gen.

"The boys get a tremendous kick out of listen ing to sports broadcasts and read ing papers which contain sports news.

PAGE SIX' Rookies Shine Through Clouds of Baseball Woe Sid Gordon, Jesse Flores, Joe Burns Lift Major League Teams From Dumps By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Prett Sportt Writer Baseball is having plenty of woes the dead ball, poor at tendance and the constant drain of the draft but if you will wipe away this wartime tarnish for a few minutes you will discover a lot of lustre among the unsung rookies of tho major leagues. Tho early days of the season have been occupied chiefly with a discussion of tho game's disappointments and a glance at the proceedings yesterday will easily explain why this has left the performances of the newcomers obscured. They don't come unaer me neacung ot disappoint-- ments. Tuesday's tightest struggle was a 16-inning marathon which the Philadelphia Athletics finally won fromthe Washington Sen ators 2-1 "after both teams had gone scoreless for 15 frames. The star was Jesse Sandoval Flores, a stocky, 26-year-old na tive of Mexico who came up to the A's this spring from Los An geles of the Pacific Coast league. In his first start last Thursday he held the Boston Red Sox to two hits but was beaten 1-0 by Tex Hughson, who pitched a three-hitter in rebuttal. Yester day Flores was matched with Early Wynn in a pitching duel that was a classic, even if you discount the balata ball. Wynn was removed for a pinchhitter in the 13th, but Flores continued till two were out in the 16th, when he finally had to have help from Roger Wolff. However, the A's had clipped Ray Scarborough for two runs in the meantime for a win ning margin. In, the National league at New York it was young Sid Gordon who highlighted the Giants 11 to 3 conquest of the Boston Braves by walloping a three-run homer in the fifth inning to place the issue beyond doubt. Joe Burns, who was in semi-pro ball last year, hit a home run for the Braves. The victory lifted the Giants out of the National league cellar and after the game they got an other boost by obtaining Catcher Ernie Lombardi, the batting champion, from the Braves for Catcher Ray Poland and Infield er Connie Ryan. Rookies brought the Pitts burgh Pirates a 4-1 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds, too. With the score tied 1-1 in the eighth inning, two freshman pinchhit ters, John Wyrostek and Tommy O'Brien delivered a pair of sin gles that brought home three i runs. Seasoned performers dominat ed the other games, although Otto Denning, who is new at first base even if not new to the American league, was the king pin in Cleveland's 4-2 conquest of the Chicago White Sox. He hit two doubles, drove in the two deciding runs and starred de fensively with an unassisted double play, 18 putouts and one assist. Tex Hughson achieved his second victory as the Red Sox handed the New York Yankees their first defeat 5-1 in an odd game in which Boston was held to six hits while the Yanks made 12. Yet New York left 14 runners stranded and would have been shutout except for a three-base error in the ninth in ning by Centerfielder Ford Gar rison (a rookie who failed to shine this day.) The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Phillies 4-2 in a sloppy ses sion marked by seven errors of which four were Brooklyn's. Whit Wyatt made tiis debut on the mound and was lifted in the seventh inning although he per mitted the Phils Just four hits and received credit for the win. Detroit's home bow. with the St. Louis Browns, expected to draw 25,000 fans, was postponed. Shipyard Worker Signed for Four Round Fist Battle PORTLAND, April' 28 (IP) Matchmaker Joe Waterman said today that Babe Fenton, Port land shipyard worker, had been signed for a four-round bout with Richard Mathewson, Wood burn, here Friday as a prelim inary to the Jack Chase-Jimmy Garrison fight, Fenton Is a former Roseburg resident.
