Newspaper Page Textm Mikan Finds F Pro Hooping Debui Tough By JERRY LISKA -' CHICAGO, March 26 (P) Lanky George Mikan, the toast of collegiate basketball for four years, today was just one of the boys in the worlds professional championship basketball tourna ment in which competition is rough and tough, and points come cheap. The Chicago American Gears, who recently signed Mikan to a $60,000 five-year contract, managed to trim the Pittsburgh Raiders, 69-58, as the 14-team tournament opened at the Chicago stadium last night, but the former Depaul ace didn't steal the Show.'

In I' Si'-? to mm mm mm I i Fold This Year .SfcPETEHSBURG, Fla., March 26 G$) Bill Dickey's chances of catching "a full quota of games for the Yankees this year, despite ins an years ana his. long siege in the navy, do not -appear quite so bright as they did up to a week ago. He is having difficulty; getting his legs III StllttfJC. 'That is about the last thing anyone would have picked to happen to the man many regard as the greatest catcher of them all. Before the war Dickey's legs were one of the wonders of the game. One of the big reasons for their excellence was the fact that Bill devoted a large partof his win ters to bird hunting, his greatest love next to baseball. Tramping up and down the hills kept his legs toned up. He is learning now that the somewhat seden tary job he had in the navy did his pins no good. After doing his first four inning stint behind the plate the other day. he reported that he was one large ache and pain from the waist down. He asked for a. chance to work it out, how ever, and Manager Joseph V. McCarthy obliged by naming him to start yesterday's game with Cleveland here. Dickey then hit himself on the toe with a batted ball during the pre game practice, forcing him to withdraw, and that might prove an additional setback. Dickey is extremely anxious .to play at least one more season, and feels he can help the club. Baseball Scores By The Associated Press Cleveland (A) 4, New York (A) 1.

Mikan, who made his stadium professional debut before 10, 520 fans with a 17-point bag, also was outscored by , Arnold (Stilts) Risen, former Ohio State star, who garnered 20 points for the losing Indianapolis team and Ed Stanczak, who never played college basketball, but let the Anderson, Ind., Chiefs to a 59-46 triumph over the Cleve land Allmens with 21 points. Even with the 6-foot 9-inch Mikan playing a sterling floor game, the Gears had plenty of trouble measuring Pittsburgh which held a 33-22 half time margin. The Gears clinched the tilt by counting 23 of 34 free throws. Mikan said after the game that his pro baptism was "tough, mighty tough." The Gears Friday night will meet the strong Sheboygan, Wis., R,edskins who drew a bye into the quarter-finals. In other games the Midland team will face the defending champion ship Fort Wayne, Ind., Zollners, and the Andersons will play the winner of the Baltimore Day ton game. Tule Fives Lose Out On Titles TULELAKE . The Tulelake Honkers A and B basketball squads lost out on both ends of the Siskiyou county cage cham pionship last Friday night. The A game resulted in a 50-21 rout for Dunsmuir and the B tilt was a close one, 38-25 for Weed. Dunsmuir's squad had height to - spare, none of the players measuring less man six feet, and Tulelake's Coach Tanzy termed the team the best high school outfit he ever saw. White, Duns muir forward and smallest man on the squad, measuring six feet even, paced- the scorers with 21 points. The B game was a thriller. Tulelake led 18-14 at the .half but Weed made good on scoring chances in the final period. Kirby of the Honkers and Adams of Weed scored 15 points each.

Opener Puts Rayburn In With demons Billy Rayburn, back on the northwest rassle circuit after an. absence of four or five years, will tangle with Indian Boy Frankie Clemons of Oklahoma in the three-canto mat opener at the armory Thursday night. Rayburn is currently active around Portland and has prom ised to come down to Klamath Falls to renew canvas acquaint ances here. Clemons was here last week in a four-frame match and is bidding for more and better bouts on the local floor. ' Tough Tony Ross and Gloomy Gust Johnson are slated to match muscles for four rounds in the semi-windup. Since com pleting his layoff and trip back east Tony has reversed his form and now occupies the role of villain in his tussles. He's put on a good deal of weight around the waistline but dislikes being referred to as pudgy. The main go, six rounds, puts Bob Keneston apd his current arch-enemy squrl", vicious Mar tino Angelo, in the ring to gether. Angelo is now riding the crest of mat ferocity and his willingness to fight any and all comers was evidenced by his picking a fight with Keneston last week while Bob was acting as referee.

The committee will act on three suggestions mado by the National Basketball Coaches as sociation at its meeting here last weekend. The coaches recommended: 1 Redefine the phrase, "in the act of shooting," in the rulo covering a foul committed against a player trying for a field goal, in order to give the shooter more leeway and thus prevent so many goals being dis allowed. 2 Allow an offensive tcom to retain possession of the ball after a free throw attempt when a player is fouled in the last two minutes of a game. 3 Amend the rules to permit substitutions in the last four minutes of a game only when time has been taken out. i .

By HALE SCARBROUGH Fixing up Recreation field so it can be used for organized base ball this summer will cost the city approximately $2500, the Ity council heard lust night, and fred Robinson, who conducted a ;urvey of the field with Lynn .loyeroft and Taxi Thomas, told tho councilmeu anything less than that would bo a compromise or a failure. Robinson outlined a proposal to switch tho diamond Into cen ter field, move and repair the bleachers, repair fences, repair clubhouse and shower room, sur fuce and level infield, level out field, fix a parking lot, put up screens behind the batter's box and in front of stands. This work Is absolutely neces sary, ho said, beforo the field is at all usable for organized public baseball games, and tho $2300 estimate is a minimum. The council heard Robinson's report and turned tho motter over to the recreation and finance committee to study. Wayne Brown, an cx-scrvlcc-nuin in the audience, then told the council that ho was one of many young fellows who wunted to play baseball and that he believed that the council would not be losing any money or any friends by fixing Recreation park. The $2500, Brown asserted, is "Just a drop in the bucket" and would bo recovered by game ad missions. He asked that the finance group remember they were under moral obligation to do something for the cx-servlce-men and for younger fellows who are eager to play baseball this summer. It was then brought out that the recreation committee has over $17,000 tied up now and finding $2500 to spend la not a problem if tho committee will approve spending it. The council approved a resolu tion to create a sinking fund, beginning with that $17,000, for the acquiring and operation of sports and recreation centers, of which Recreation field is ex pected to be tho first.
