Early Indications Point to Chicago,

Associated Press Sports Writer
If pitching in the early games
tells the story, the Detroit Tig
ers and Chicago Cubs are headed
for an October world series date.
While the Bengals have been
e slapping the ball at a .281 clip.
Dizzy Trout, Al Benton and Hal
Ncwhouser have been throttling
their American league opponents
with a measly .193 batting aver
ace. Six of Charley Grimm's

effort by Hank Wyse again?
Pittsburch, spoiled only by
Rookie Bill Salkeld's eighth in
ning single.
Pitchers Blank Sluggers
Tha Unmf run hall has not
been troublesome to either De
troit or Chicago, tne tiger siau
having blanked the long distance
sluggers and .the Cubs yielded
only a pair. Every mound crew
has given up at least one circuit
clout, except Steve O'Neills
gang.
Russ Derry belted half the
New York Yankees total of eight
homers, high in the American
but their rivals across the Har
lem river, the New York Giants,
have collected 13 and the Boston
Braves 11, thanks to Butch Nie
man and that shortened right
field wall!
Nine Shutouts Hurled
Nine shutouts have been
pitched in the National, three
by Chicago with Claude Passeau,
Bob Chipman and Wyse each
contributing , one. Of the seven
hurled in the American, Detroit
has three, two by Trout and one
by Benton. ' '
Things were' so tough during
spring training days, Grimm had
to borrow veterans Hod Lisen
bee and Guy Bush from the Reds
so they could play an exhibition.
Now his average of two mounds
men a day is not far behind the
Brooklyn figure of 17 pitchers

CORVALLIS. Ore., May 1
(Pi The ranks of northern di
vision, coast conference, football
grew stronger over the weekend
with announcement by Graduate
Manager Percy Locey that Ore
gon State college would "defin
itely" field a football team this
fall.
Locey. announcing the de
cision of the Oregon State ath
letic board Saturday night, said,
"we will play even if we have
to choose sides and play among
ourselves."
The Beavers will make up a
schedule at the Pacific coast con
ference meeting in June, its ex
tent to be guided by conference
action and war conditions, he
reported.
Coach Lon Stiner reported
more player material available
than at any time since, the war
began. The last Beaver grid
team played in 1942.
Washington State college and
Idaho recently announced they
nlanned to resume the gridiron

Anson B. Cornell. Oregon ath

change in Oregon s stand on re

ball despite the return of Oregon
State college to the grid, and
le.-ving Oregon as the only north

tana, to remain idle. e win

manpower makes it possible and
practical, uorneii saia.
Some observers believed, how
ever, that action to return to the
Pacific coast conference football
field may be taken at the next
Oregon athletic board meeting,
to be held within the next two
weeks.
Achiu WW
Meet Dusette
In Mat Tiff
Promoter Mack Lillard an
nounced this morning that the
headline event on the mat card
at the armory Friday night
would -nit "Sneeze" Achiu
against Georges Dusette.
The "Grey Mask" refused Lil
lard's offer to meet either Mo
relli or Achiu in the main tussle.
Mr. Stoneface has been playing
coy with the boys now for some
little time., but this bout should
top anything the hooded heel
could possibly offer in the way
of real rassling.
Acniu specializes in his famous
Chinese sleeper" and Dusette is
an exponent of his equally fam
ous standing full-Nelson.
An interesting point is that
Achiu seldom uses the sleeper
unless his opponent starts rough
ing it up and Dusette- is well-
known as a clean graprjler. The
question is will Achiu be forced
to resort to the dangerous hold
in order- to subdue Dusette or
will he use only the orthodox
holds?
Dusette is probably the most
powerful muscleman to perform
here in a good many years, while
"Sneeze" is fast and clever. This
match should provide enough
tnrnis ano action to satisfy the
most calloused fan.
In the semi-windup, Lillard
has obtained the services of Ken
ny Ackles, who is reported to be
a bicep boy a bit on the flashy
side. Ackles is said to have been
wowing them in Hollywood and
will make his debut here Friday
against a top opponent.
