White can still scamper with the cottontails, but his batting now puts him at least in the gazelle class. Joyner, as he was christened back In his native Jaw-Ja. never will break down any fences there are no home runs to his credit this season but he's tough to keep off the bases. And, says Lou Novikoff, the man who does most of the Rainiers' slugging. White's the best manager I ever played for." The big Russian, hitting .330. has slammed out 11 homers and driven in 48 runs to rank among the lead ers. And he's grateful to Jo-Jo. White, Novikoff and Co., will try to hoist themselves out of the cel lar this week at home at the expense of the seventh-place Hollywood Stars, who are not too steady on tne road.

Now that the Ryder cup matches are coming back after a war time lapse. Sportsman Hudson Is defi nitely In the market for this Inter esting International series. The American PQA people will be the hosts for the 1947 renewal and when they pick their team June 53 at Detroit, there Is no doubt thev will carefully weigh the bid from the man who wants to spon nr the event In Portland. Hudson informs me that he will meet and most likely better any bids for the Ryder cuppers. If sue-, cessful In his quest, he plans to fly the British team members from and back to Britain. The Ameri cans also will be brought to Port land on a full expense deal. Literally Interpreted, Hudson'a "full expense" program means the visiting golfers won't have to spend a quarter of their own money, un less they should decide to drop a coin In a slot machine.

Jack Kiser. who grapples under the banner of "All American Boy." has been away from this circuit for nearly a year and says that he has been knocking them over out in the Hawaiian Islands. He should at least hare a healthy tan. The opening bout has .all the earmarks of a lively battle between Buck Weaver and Harold (Buck) Davidson.
