Commissioner Edsr Brom King Carl Boomed as Executive MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 21 &) If Carl Hubbell wins a place in baseball history as a farm execu tive as well as a great pitcher, Eddie Brannick can ana prob- Klw will env "T tnld VOU SO." The New York Giants' secre tary sounded some woras 01 praise today for the left-hander who became head of the club's farm system after his hurling days were over. "He'll do as good a Job as Branch Rickey or any of them have done," Brannick predicted. "He's going to be a big man. The fellow's got plenty of ability." Brannick said that Horace Stoneham, Giants' president, is well satisfied with Hubbell's work. "He's just the type of man that Mel Ott needed," the fast talking secretary continued. "You know that he and Ott are very close friends, and were al ways together even before Mel became manager." Brannick said that Hubbell "gets all kinds of mail from peo ple giving him leads about play er prospects." "He's the kind of fellow that every Tom, Dick and Harry ad mire," he continued. "They all want to meet him and talk to him. "And if they see any boy who has some stuff, they like to tell Hubbell." Brannick said Hubbell is a good judge of playing talent, adding: "He's energetic, too. He does n't wait for leads. He goes out himself to look for players. He does the job the way it ought to be done." Brannick came to Miami for a brief visit. BASKETBALL ;VSmUhr OREGON PREP By The Associated Press Tigard 48, Hillsboro 38. Scappoose 44, Vernonia 40.

In as close a battle as has been fought so far in Victory league play this season, the Trotters were in trouble several times during their fray with Red Shield and the count was knotted at 16-all at halftime. The lead changed hands many times, but with Red Shield lead ing 25 to 24 with about a min ute to play, Rollie Berry canned a bucket to give the Trotters their margin of victory.

EVERY VQ WEDNESDAY SWIGART I SQUEEZE Now that the golf pros are lor war bonds insieaa ot actual casn, some oi me ooys una men need for a new suit of underwear or a pair of shoes a bit press ing, but not so with Lord Byron Nelson, present kingpin of golf- dom. Lord Byron has a few outside financial angles and the $40,000 he. won in bonds last year still stands in as pretty a stack as you would want to see. But some ot the golfing gentry barely skid by. They brave the perils of the winter circuit in the hopes of copping a title and some real dough, but for every one who cuts the mustard there are 50 others who don't quite made the grade. If a golfer on the tournament trek falls to reach the top money division, he necessarily eats less than usual, he patronizes cheap rooming houses, and he probably soaks his socks and undies in the bathtub instead of sending them to the laundry. If they lose out completely they scramble back to their home fairways to collect another stake to make the effort again. The real tournament golfer is driven by the idea that someday he will hit a hot streak and then watch out. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is always beckoning. Nelson knows what it is to it! "I have won more than my share of championships," says Lord Byron, "but I can remember the one which gave me my biggest kick. It was the first one. When I entered the New York Metropolitan in 1936 I was just another guy in the field. I had exactly $5.07 in my pocket and the world looked none too bright. But all of a sudden I put a good game together and won first prize of $750. I tried to act nonchalant when they handed me that check, but I don't suppose I fooled anyone. That night I felt like a millionaire." But here's the rub. If that form of a war bond he would have been compelled to cash it in. just like some of the present day admits this fact. It s a strange thing, but golfers, like other folks, have formed the unfortunate habit of eating. District Tournament Looms Br PAUL HAINES Friday night at the Ashland Normal school, the Klamath Pel icans will make their bid to re main in the running In the dis- t r 1 c t basketball tournament when they collide with the rag ma Black Tornado from Med- ford. Coach Marble Cook hat been drilling the .'-men with the idea of handing the Medford club a few surprises and the Klamatn kids will lay it on the line Fri day in their last chance of the season to snap the Medtora vic tory string. The Tornado boasts the impressive record of 22 straight wins and the rival hoop men are a lough bunch to stop in any league. This ball game' Friday night will not be played on past per formances, however, and both clubs have an equal chance right down the line, from the opening whistla to the final gun. Medford, of course, is favored PLAY touring the tournament fairways 'HS SOAKS , ; MS SOCKS tJ TUB 0ATHTU8- ..-TTP- live this kind of a life. He lived welcome moola had come in the golfing clan.

Rome wasn't built in a day and neither are basketball records such ai the one possessed by the Torna do, but Rome burned down in an awful hurry and. by the same token, it takes only one defeat to snap a victory string. Medford has a good ball team this year. They figure to bounce the Pelicans for the fifth straight time this season. But. although we're not from Missouri, we'll still only believe it when we see it.
