Up until now, running a gaunt let has been about as easy as making a deal in the big leagues, but the David Harums of the dia mond made a couple of restless moves yesterday that indicated they haven't overlooked the date on their calendar and may do some more important business today. The Brooklyn Dodgers have been trying to peddle Joe Med wick for several weeks without getting any satisfactory offers, but if Branch Rickey has made up his mind to turn loose the one time great slugger of the Na tional league, this is the day he might do it. The club that would be most likely to take him would be the New York Giants, floundering in seventh place and desperately in need of reinforcements. Yesterday the . Giants traded Outfielder Herbert (Babe) Barna to the Boston Red Sox for Southpaw Pitcher Ken Chase. Neither of the players involved have accomplished anything notable in the last two years, but the transaction left the implica tion that President Horace Stone ham hoped to come up with an outfielder . from some other sources. With Barna gone, the Giants have only three outfielders and Sid Gordon, a combination in- fielder-outfielder. The Giants also recalled two pitchers, Hugh East and Rube Fischer from their Jersey City Farm club in the International league, replacing them with Ken Tnnkle and Bob Coombs. Another deal made yesterday was the purchase of Infielder Don Heffner from the St. Louis Browns by the Philadelphia Ath letics. He will be used as a utility man. Only three games were on yes terday s program, but they en abled the leaders in both leagues to increase their mar gins. The New York Yankees whip ped the Washington Senators 4-1 with the help of errors by the Senators and six-hit pitching by Spud Chandler, who acquired his seventh victory against the de feat. The triumph increased New York's lead over Washing ton to three games. I In the National league, the world champion St. Louis Cardi nals checked the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 with the Cooper brothers, Mort and Walker, playing prin cipal roles. Mort pitched eight hit ball to gain his eighth vic tory against three defeats and brother Walker, the catching member of the family, supplied the punch. He hit a triple with the bases loaded in the sixth in ning. The Boston Braves beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 in a twi light tussle to take their five- game series 3 to 2. Each game was decided by one run. Connie Seeks New Title 7v 7 v 5 v R If 1 Pauline Bets sought her third title as the 33rd annual clay courts tennie tourney opened at the Detroit Tennis club.

"It is the opinion of the Sports men s association and the Izaak Walton league that any such large slaughter of does would decimate the deer herd far be yond any reasonable need and Hopes High In Rainier, Bevo Camps Portland Still Has Chance ' For First Division Spot; Seattle to Play Padres By The Associated Press More than a little bucked up by taking a series from Portland, the Seattle Rainiers are prepared today to take on third-place San Diego in the Padres lone appear ance on the Rainier field during the 1943 Coast league season. Portland, on the other hand, has high aspiration for continu ing its first division bid. Beaver hopes are based on the solid the ory that a series with last place Sacramento while fourth-place Oakland is afflicted with the high-flying Los Angeles Angels is a heaven-sent opportunity to move up a notich or two if there ever was one. Hollywood, in fifth place Just above Portland, also is counting on an Oakland nose dive to im prove its league fortunes. The Stars' opposition, however, the San Francisco Seals, will be con siderably tougher. The Stars are second only to the Angels in team -hitting and only a half game behind the Oaks in the standings. Los Angeles opens its Oakland series with a 71 game lead over the Seals and as the third month of baseball opens in the circuit the Angels show no indication of coming apart at the seams. At Seattle Manager Bill Skiff will pin his hopes on the right arm of little Pete Jonas, former Western International leaguer, while the Padres will line up be hind Chet Johnson, former Uni versity of Washington south paw who graduated to the Coast loop from Tacoma, also in the W-I league.

Tho boys were hitting con siderably better In this gome, and they had that winning spirit needed to win a ball game. The Pelicans' next scheduled game Is against the Redding team of Redding, California. Practices will be held as usual on Wednesday and Friday nights. Hi Hatfield is not only a good country outfielder, but can pitch a fair game of baseball. Hat- fields relief Job Is Sundays game probably saved the Pelican team from almost certain defeat. "Scotty" Smith may not be the best hitter in the world, but makes up for his lack of base hits with brilliant fielding. He made several sensational stops and fielded errorless throughout the game.

There have been proposals to spilt tho conference, but one faculty man, who asked that his name be withheld, said "the idea of dividing the conference is silly. I doubt if It will bo done. We may have to curtail travel and modify the schedule but I believe there will be football games plnycd between some of tho northern and southern mem bers."
