Cubs Still Hold Jinx OverCincy By JOE REICHLER Associated Pretf Sports Writer The Chicago Cubs, who lost year equalled a major league tandard by trimming the Cin cinnati Reds 21 times in 22 meet ings, are oft to a good start today In an attempt to duplicate the performance this year against Bill McKechnie's weary Redlegs. ! Yesterday's 11-7 triumph com ing on the wings of Phil Cavar retta's home run which high lighted a five-run splurge In the ninth Inning, was Chicago's sec ond straight win over the Rhine landers, both victories coming in the final frame. As In Tuesday's opener when they led the Cubs 3-0 going Into the ninth only to lose 4-3, the Reds enjoyed a 7-6 advantage after eight stanzas yesterday. But the Cubs came up with the big five in their last turn at bat for their 23rd victory in their last 24 games with Cincinnati. Browns Win The largest turnout of the day, 14,330, watched the home-town Detroit Tigers go down to defeat, also in the ninth inning, when the St. Louis Browns counted twice on a pair of hits, two walks and Vern Stephens' fly to defeat the Bengals 7-6. The Browns had whittled the Tigers' lead to one run in the previous inning when Walter Judnich, back after three years in the army, blasted a two-run homer. The Giants kept pace with the Cubs by defeating Philadelphia 5-2 for their second straight over the Phillies. The 31-year-old Bob Joyce gained his first National league victory in lim iting the Phils to seven blows while the Polo Grounders took advantage of nine walks given up by Southpaw Frank Hoerst to score all their runs. Cleveland and Boston's Red Sox were the only other teams to keep their 1946 slates clean. The Indians continued to get fine pitching as Allie Reynolds hurled a five hitter against the Chicago White Sox to help Cleveland win 7-1. In two games, the Pale Hose have col lected a total of eight hits off Cleveland curving, Bobby Feller having tossed a three-hit shut out against them Tuesday. Ken Keltner paced the Tribe attack with a pair of homers and a double which drove in four runs. Slugging Bee The Red Sox staged an old- lashioned slugging bee against five Washington throwers which netted them 15 hits and a 13-6 decision over the Senators. Ted Williams and Dom DiMaggio led the Bosox attack, Williams en joying a perfect day with two doubles, a single and three walks, while Joe DiMaggio's young brother clouted a three run homer and tallied four times. Boston's jubilation was softened by the failure of Dave (Boo) Ferris, its 21-game winner, to last four innings. The 24-year-old sophomore was blasted for eight hits and five runs in 3 23 innings. Philadelphia's Athletics evened their series with the New York Yankees when they hopped on rookie Randy Gumpert, a former hackman, for five runs in the seventh inning to beat the Bronx Bombers 7-1 before 11,901. Old Bobo Newsom made merry with the Yanks as he si lenced their bats with three safeties. Blanks Bucs Southpaw Max Lanier cele brated his return to the big leagues by blanking Pittsburgh with seven scattered singles as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Pirates 6-0. Playing a far different brand of ball than that which marked their opening day performance, the Redbirds combed two Buc pitchers for 13 hits, including a triple by Stan Musial and a home run by Enos siaugmer.

The only feasible way of bringing about the construction of a fish ladder, there on the river is to interest the Klam ath Indian tribal council in the matter. Then the tribe could request that the fishway be in stalled because the present dam cuts off fish runs and is. be lieved to be in violation of the Indian treaty. Thirty years ago, before the dam was erected, salmon, steel head and trout came up the Klamath all the way to the up per lake to spawn, but now can only come up to the power plant, sportsmen pointed out. Before the war the Klamath tribe was interested in getting a fishway built but when the war came along the matter was dropped. Meanwhile the In dians have become interested in bids for citizenship which, if granted, would invalidate their treaty under which fishing streams are protected. A fishway a mile and a quar ter long could be built around the dam, in a series of long pools, which sportsmen believe would in time restore the great salmon runs to the Klamath river. The Klamath could possibly be developed into a very good fishing stream in that way, if the recreational value as well as the commercial value of the stream is emphasized. Union Muscling Into Baseball BOSTON, April 18 (A) The American baseball guild. In the process of being organized by Robert Murphy, a Boston labor relations counsel, to bargain for its members with major and mi nor league clubs, today was greeted with silence by the man agements of the Boston Red Sox and Braves. Both Eddie Collins and John Ouinn. the general managers of the Sox and Braves respectively, refused to comment about Mur phy's plan to organize a majori ty of players on those clubs and then represent them for col lective bargaining.

Double Main Go Covers Mat Docket A double main event is lined up to headline tonight's armory mat card, both tussles to be of six 10-minute rounds or two falls out of three .duration. In one of the bouts rough Mar tirio Angelo meets an old favor ite of Klamath Falls rassling fans, the French-Canadian bone twister Georges Dusette, and in the other Indian Boy Frankie Clemons tangles with Salem's bad man, Tony Ross. Dusette Is one of the more caDable and successful grapplers on the northwest circuit and has been keeping busy in Portland and Seattle rings for the past several months. He is a propo nent of the standing full nelson. His opponent, Angelo, looks with favor on any of a number of the more shady types of rass ling holds but generally ends his fights by beating the head of his partner-for-the-evening into the corner posts. Frankie Clemons has been do ing fairly well on his return trip west, utilizing his paralyzer to advantage, tie will come up against a rugged battler in Tony Ross. ; The opener tonight puts popu lar Al Szasz and popular Angela Martinelli together for three frames, two tumbles out of three.

"It feels like nothing," big Walk observed cryptically with out malice. "1 never saw any of the dough Horace Stonehum riid Sam lireadon for me and never expect to see any. $175, 000 or 50 cents it's all the same to me." The fact that the former St. Louis Cardinal No. 1 backstop was the principal figure in the biggast straight cash deal in history didn't mean much to Cooper. He was In the navy at the time and had only an aca demic interest in the transac tion. Besides, magnates have a quaint custom of retaining all proceeds from player sales in the club treasury. Seldom does the athlete cut in on a slice of the purchase price. "I don't know when I'll catch," Cooper shrugged. "I weighed 225 pounds when I got out of the navy and am only five over my playing weight now. I'll get in there any time Mel (Ott) says so. Maybe another week, or so, but I'd like to take a little more time." Ott was equally Indefinite, saying, "He'll work when he comes to me and tells me he's ready. It's all up to him." That was that. Bill Lyon Wins Marble Crown Bill Lyon of Pelican school copped the grade school A class marble-shooting crown yester day afternoon, defeating Bruce Brink of Mills two straight games and then winning three out of four from J.

Gene St. John of Fairview out-shot Charlie Gonzales of Pelican two games straight and Champion Oilers Being Junked DENVER, April 18 (AP) The world-beating amateur bas ketball combination that "Uncle Frank" Phillips put together down in Bartlesville. Okla., for the enjoyment of a sports loving and gasoline buying public Is going to be broken up. Five of the nine members of the Phillips 66 team that whizzed into Denver last month to win a fourth consecutive national AAU championship are giving up the game to devote full time to their jobs in "Uncle Frank's" big oil company. Scheduled to retire permanently behind their desks In the Phillips branch offices are Jimmy "Scat" McNatt, the key mnn in the famous fast break of the Sixty-Sixers, Bill Martin, Mar ty Nash, Paul Lindemann and Grady Lewis. That doesn't mean that Phillips won't be out next year shooting for a fifth title in Denver's annual world series of amateur cagedom. For Coach Bud Browning can look over the company's payroll any time and find it loaded with court-wise youngsters. t - MATT FINNIGAN'S ? "Trout Season Opens" Saturday Are You Ready?
