March 15 (Pi- Major league baseball's greatest propicm, manpower, appeared to be solving itself today as big league spring training camp squads are being augmented by new arrivals, including many regulars of last year's teams. Club owners and managers, openly concerned over the un willingness of some players to leave their winter lobs to re turn to baseball, were greatly encouraged by announcement yesterday of several of the game's outstanding stars that mey intended to play ball this year. Ken Kcltner, who left a war job a year ago to play with Cleveland, has again quit his winter job to rcioin the Indians. "Baseball is my business. If the army wants me, it will find me working at it," the heavy-hitting third baseman was quoted as saying a year ago. Pitcher Jim Bagby, teammate of Keltner, will also join the squad today, having resigned his job at a war plant. Among other players who an nounccd yesterday they would join their teams were Don Gut- leridge of the St. Louis Browns; Pete Fox, Red Barrett and Rex Cecil of the Boston Red Sox; Thornton Lee, Vince Castino, Dan Reynolds and Joe Orengo of the Chicago White Sox; Andy Pafko and Roy Hughes of the Chicago Cubs and George ell of the Philadelphia Athletics, Marines Swamp Sailors, 62-44, In Cage Battle The Leathernecks from the Marine Barracks blasted the sailors from the naval air sta tion in a cage tussle last night at the station by the score of 62 to 44. The marines were in control of the game all the way, although the count was knotted at 21 to 21 at half time. Sailor Cook held high scor ing honors for the fray with 14 points and Cox potted 10 for the Leathernecks. Saturday night a return engagement will bo played on the post floor at the Barracks and civilians are invited to attend. Seattle Operating Base Raps Coast Guard Five, 55-35 ABERDEEN.

Thursday, March IB, 1B4B HERALD AND NEWS TMIRTEEH iPAUL HAINES HAINES ' Pete Gray Gets Big Chance xne one-armed wonder of baseball. Pete Gray. 1 irnlti'nt, hi chance at last in the big time with the St. Louis Brownies, Amer ican league champions last year. . . i-'ele is a rookie in the big show at the aee of 28. and Charles DeWitt, club secretary, said yesterday that the Brownies bought Gray because of his record in , ... . tne minors. His best years were with the Memphis Chicks and indicated that Pete, at long last, was ready for the majors. DeWitt also stated that Pete will or will not break into- the Brownies' lineup solely on his ability as a ball player, and not as a possible sideshow attraction. We have uttered a fervent prayer that Pete will make the grade and crash into -the big lcagups with a resounding bang. If ever a man was deserving of the big show, it's the. one armed guy who kept plugging along, despite a terrific physical handicap, until he broke down the door to the ultimate goal of every ball player in the country the major leagues! DeWitt said, "He on trial as a ballplayer, it Manager Luke Sewell decides he's good enough we'll-keep him, if not, he will be sent to our Toledo farm where he can continue to develop. Pete understands that and has assured us he would want it no other way. It is fairly obvious that a guy like Fete would be satisfied with nothing else t. an to stand or fall on his own merit. But rise or fall, he's still Pete Gray, a game guy who had what it takes to scale the ladder of success with the odds heavy against him. Marble Cook Resigns As KUHS Coach With the resignation of Marble Cookr as football and basket ball mentor and physical education instructor at Klamath Union high school, an opening is necessarily created in the coachine field. We have no idea who will replace Marble in the post, but we do feel that he deserves a send-off worthy of a mighty nice guy. We assume the reasons for his resignation were, perhaps, personality- clashes and a different point of view on coaching meinoas. we are nere neitner to condone or condemn, however, but merely to give the situation as we see it. ' ( During the past football and basketball season, Marble's teams did not set the conference on fire, but they fared pretty well, nevertheless. His Pelican grid eleven broke even for the season and the Klamath cagers wound up the basketball season in sec ond place in the conference. HJ introduced a new type of football formation here with the "T" that was not too well received by Klamath fans, who were inclined to favor straight power football instead of the We felt at the time, and still feel, that the "T" was the best formation possible to use, considering the fact that- the team-was- exceptionaiiy light; .

" - - - -.-- . : Rassling Card Set For Friday " To round out the crunch card Friday night at the armory. Tough Tony Ross will tangle with Gloomy Gust Johnson in the opener. Jfele Belcastro meets Jack Kiser in the semi-windup and the main event,- of course, features the savage "Grey Mask" and Georges Dusette, the sacroiliac separator from Canada. Promoter Mack Lillard announced today that a huge crowd. probably the largest of the year, is expected to be on hand when the two musclers collide. This is easily understandable Dusette has proved to be very popular here and has not dropped a bout so far in the Klamath arena. . Mr. Stoneface is always a drawing-card with the fans, who live in hope of seeing one of the bleep boys whip him soundly, thus forcing him to unveil. Klamath mat addicts-may see just that Friday night as uusette will exert every effort to flop the hooded hoodlum. - ' Georges specializes in a full-Nelson that causes his opponents to throw in the towel, while Mr. .Stoneface wilL fall back on his vicious head butts to attain his end. With two top bouts supporting the headline tussle', there should be more than -enough action for each and every fan, come Friday eve. Mock Never Doubted Boll Would Continue By JOHN F. CHANDLER FREDERICK, Md.r March 15 (IV) Baseball is all set for anoth er year and in the mind of Con nie Mack, 82-year-old manager of the Philadelphia Athletics and dean of the diamond world, there was never any doubt about it. .-. ..." "I've never thought anything else than that we would start the season and finish it," Mack said as he led his A's through his first day in training camp the second time in his 45-year mana gerial career that he hadn't been in camp on opening day. Mack said he thought "those two discussions President Roose velt had in the last few days with Clark Griffith and news papermen abou night baseball and the wartime'future of the sport hasn't done the game any harm." The successor to the late Kcn-nesaw- Mountain Landis as base ball commissioner "should in my opinion," Mack said, "be an outsider, never before connected with baseball," as Landis was when he'was appointed after tho 1011) Black Sox scandal. . "However,",, the venerable Philadelphia manager added, "whoever the major league com- BOYS' SHIRTS BOYS' CORDS Dark Colors OREGON WOOLEN STORE 8th and Main mittee recommends, the chances are the owners will accept him. I think we have a good commis sion to select the man." Conceding that the champion St. Louis Browns would be the team to beat for the American league pennant, Mack says he be lieves his A's will be a "fighting first division" club. How about the Detroit Tigers, who finished a game back of the Brownies for the flag last year? "The Tigers lost a great player when Dick Wakefield went back into the service, and Pinky Hig gins (also gone) drove in a lot of runs, torj." Those losses, Mack thought, hurt Detroit. As for the New York Yankees, third last year. Mack said with emphasis, "We don't get nervous any more when we hear their names." He hastened to add that you can't underestimate them and with Larry MacPhail at the head, anything can happen.
