Majors Feel for Mad Russian,

The-major leagues are using

Manager Jimmy Wilson of the
Bruins disclosed under cross ex
amination, last night that three
other National League clubs
the Cincinnati Reds. New York
Giants 'and' Philadelphia Phillies
have made propositions for the
Mad Russian.
.The hitch thus far is that the

Better Time With Seals
By The Associated Press -
The patchwork lineup that
currently is fighting to uphold
the prestige of the Pacific Coast
league's Seattle Rainiers will
take the Home field today In an
attempt to halt the leading Los
Angeles club which rode into
Seattle yesterday with a five
game margin after taking six
straight from' Portland.
Manager Bill Skiff of Seat
tle's sixth placers has indicated
he will stick -to his present in
field for the time being, although
it .has shown some lamentable
weaknesses. Ho will use Hal
Turpin on the mound today, op
posing Jimmy Lynn, ace of the
Angels staff, undefeated so' far.
. The Rainiers split a six-game
series with the weak hitting San
Francisco Seals last week and
may snap out of it, but hardly
against the Angels.
Portland, once in the first di
vision, will try to pull back up
from seventh place against San
Francisco on the Portland field.
After their lacing at Iho hands
of the Angels, the Beavers may
be hard to handle.
Second place San Diego, falter
ing badly against Hollywood last
week, moves north for a scries

Hollywood Stars, having boosted
themselves out of the cellar, will
attempt to keep the door closed

Over Sealers
TACOMA. May 11 VP) The
Fort Lewis baseball team scored
an 8-7 triumph over the San

Coast league here last ' night
when a double and a single broke
an eighth inning deadlock after
two were out.
After spotting the Seals five
runs on three hits, a walk and
five errors - in the second, ' the
army tossers came back to take
a 6-5 lead with two runs in their
half of the inning and added
four in the third.
The Coast leaguers tied the
count twice thereafter, at 6-6 and
7-7, only to lose In the eighth
when Morry Engle hit a double
and Bill Diehl pounded him
across with a single. The twi
light game was called in the
eighth because of darkness.
ager of the Cubs, has taken the
position, publicly 'at least, that
Novikoff would either have to
agree to the 'Cubs' terms or re

less, Gallagher is making the
current eastern swing with his
ball club arid undoubtedly will
be asked about Novikoff at vari
ous stops.
Just what rival clubs might be
willing to give, or the Cubs
take, for Novikoff, is a matter
for guesswork. The Phillies,
who perhaps need him most,
have the least to offer. Besides
there is a- feeling on the Cubs
that if he were traded to Phila
delphia he probably would turn
up shortly afterward with the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
This is because Branch Rickey

Inside Story
: Tests prove that the balata ball, used In both major leagues
until the National threw It out, is 25 per cent deader' than the
1942 variety. The ersaix pellet has a cork and balata core, ring
ed by thin layers of black and red balata compound, wrapped
from pill to cover with blue-gray and white woolen yarns, all
held together by rubber cement. Cover is of domestic horsehlde.
The cement,-made from reprocessed rubber, is blamed for the
balls lack of resiliency. A new type of cement has been tested
and accepted, and is being used in the manufacture of livelier
balls.
