What's the Matter, Al? Our friend Al Lightncr, sports editor of the Oregon States man in Salem, came out with this gem in his pillar recently: "Al Simpson's Medford Black Tornado, a terrific ball club which had been unbeaten in 22 tries, including four rompings with Marble Cook s Klamath Falls Pelicans, had to go into an overtimer to beat the Pelicans in the 'counting' district tour ney even after plastering 'em the four times during the season. Had K-Falls upset the Tor nado, just look at what we'd have had in the state tourney while Medford stayed at home!" Well, Al, we feel down here that you wouldn't have had such a bad ball club in "your" state tournament if K-Falls had dumped Medford. Considering the fact that we had a green, inexperienced team to start the season, the boys did all right. The Pelicans wound up in second place in the Southern Oregon con- nnf is. montmn ihp twn nastlllSS theV handed' your Salem Vikings at the start of the season. But maybe that's the beef, eh, Al? . , . Yes sir, we understand the Viks didn't care to play a return series with the Pelicans after absorbing those two lacings. Simp son's team may be "terrific," but it's also just about the- luckiest ball club in the state or it WOULD be staying at home. That overtimer wasn't any fluke; Al. The Klamath kids outplayed the Tornado all the way in that ball game. . Give credit where credit is due, Al. Salem MIGHT be per suaded to play a ball game in Klamath Falls sometimel Power Puzzle Yet Indefinite NEW YORK, March 5 (IP) Spring training opens Wednes day for the first of the 16 major league baseball clubs but the manpower situation remained as definite as it was January 1. Because congress has taken no definite action on proposed "work or else" legislation, War ' Mobilizer James Byrnes has been unable to give baseball's spokes men any definite word on what to expect. Meanwhile, the owners have gone ahead with plans, an nounced signing of contracts and drawn up schedules of exhibition games but still have their fingers crossed. Washington breaks the ice Wednesday when the batterymen will report to Manager ussie Bluege at College Park, Md., Owner Clark Griffith of the Sen ators has 24 of 36 men in the fold, most of any club. Chicago's Cubs follow Thurs day with their first drill at French Lick, Ind., where Man ager Charley Grimm has been . Inspecting tne grounds since r n- The New "York Giants with six ;men on the dotted line and the Yankees vith 16 both report Sunday, the Giants at Lakewood, N. J., and the Yanks at Atlantic City. By Monday, March 19, all teams will be training. Battle Royal To Feature Friday's Card A "battle royal" with six wrestlers participating will be the : feature of Friday night's armory card, according to Mack laniard, promoter. The "Gray Mask" has prom ised to return to Klamath Falls to wrestle the winner of Friday night's battle, Lillard said. The matmen in the battle royal will be Pete Belcastro, Georges Dusette, Gust Johnson, Jack Kiser, Harold Davidson and Tony Ross. All of these gents have wrestled here be fore, and six of them in the ring at once is expected to pro vide plenty of action. The match with the "Gray Mask" is scheduled for a week from Friday night. Marine Leaguers Beat 'B' Company Quintet With 30-22 Markers In a preliminary game at the Barracks Saturday night, the marine corps league cagers downed a determined but out classed ' "B" company quintet, 30-22. The leaguers, coached and managed by Eugene Semsky, flashy forward who is dead on parallel-to-the-basket shots, got off to an early lead in the tilt and retained the margin until the final whistle. "B" company's Rozanski came through with high scoring honors for the game with 11 and was followed by Semsky with 10. The half time score was 12-5. Classified Ads Bring Results.

Four Schools Win Victories In 'A' Tourney The city grade school "A" tournament got underway Sat urday as Fremont, Fairview, Mills and Roosevelt gamed vic tories which were played on Pel ican court. This is a double elimination meet, each team has to fail to win twice before being elrni' inated. -'' Fremont turned back Fair- view 42-11 as Elliot rolled up 16 points for the winners. Fairview, who never had a chanqe against a taller Fremont five, was pared by Johnson with five markers. Roosevelt scored at w i 11 as they pulverized a hopeless Pell' can quintet 42-4. Derrah and Brown led Roosevelt, . scoring with 13 and 12 tallies respective- ly. Tomlin and Edwards made two each for Pelican. ' Mills came from behind to de feat Riverside 19-8. In what start ed out to be a close game, Mills had to turn on the heat in the second half to gain its victory. Allen and Chaney made 8 each for Mills as Everett tallied 4 for Riverside. Fairview eliminated Pelican from the tourney by a 16-13 score. The game was close throughout, but Fairview spurt ed in the final quarter to win. McPherson and Myers scored 6 each for Fairview as did Yantias of Pelican. Thirteen also jlnxed Roose velt as they lost by the same score-as did Pelican.'

In one of the best played, most thrilling basketball games of the season, the Barracks hoopstcrs dropped the powerful Portland army air base quintet 46-44 Sat urday nignt on the post hard wood. With two borrowed sharp shooters in Ostcrhaus and Hoi- lingsworth, the air base five was strengthened considerably but would have played an entirely auiercm Dranct or pan it one Warren Perkins, outstanding player in the Denver tourna ment last year, had been left out. Perkins, without a doubt one of the finest ball handlers and shots in the northwest, prac tically stole the show in the Army-Marine struggle. Working on pivot plays, under the bucket on tip-ins and on long-range shots, he dropped one after an other through the mesh for a total of 20 points. He was also a constant threat on defensive plays and put on an interesting exhibition of ball handling throughout the tilt. For the Leathernecks it was team spirit and cooperation all the way that brought them their victory. However, it would be nara to say that this was the only factor in their superiority. Burkland Breaks Loose Husky forward, Leonard Burkland, who has had a lot of tough luck this season, really broke loose against- the soldiers to come through with six baskets for the game. In the first half Burkland came into the fray with the Portland team leading by ten points. Before the close of that chapter he had personally accounted for eight markers and sparked his teammates to tally ten more. Red Gilbert, marine pivotman, put in one of the finest games this year. Repeatedly giving up opportunities to score himself, his passing and set-up plays were superb and his work under the basket against Osterhous was stellar. PAAB Leads 10 Points The Portland team drew first blocd in the opening minutes of play when Osterhaus plunked in a charity toss. Then they started to work on Coach Israel's boys in earnest, going ahead 10 points in the first quarter. In the sec ond canto, Burkland came into the line-up and things started to happen. The marines steadilv closed the gap with Meath, Mills and Domitrovich working the ball in to Gilbert 'and back out again to Burkland. Domitrovich started to hit the rim and behind the determined f i g h t of Meath and Mills, who went out after the ball on several'occasions, the half score ended 24-22. Coming out in the ntnnH frame and from then on in, the game was nip and tuck. The Portland team's Hollingworth and Perkins were outstanding in this frame, fighting hard to set a substantial lead but each time they dropped one in, the marines duplicated the order. With less than two minutes to go and a two-point lead. Morrisey. Meath and Domitrovich. started- to freeze the ball, passing it among themselves until the final gun. Some 1500 fans attended the game and left, thoroughly satisfied- with the performance. It was a well-fought battle all the way and both squads nut on a marvelous exhibition of sports- uian&nip.
