Haas, star outfielder for the Philadelphia Athletics when Dykes was the A's crack third baseman back In 1928-32, has been mailed a contract to coach for Dykes' Holly wood club of the Pacific Coast league. Virtual agreement for Haas' serv ices was reached at the minor league meeting at Miami, Fla, in December a move obviously recommended by Dykes according to Business Manager Oscar Rcichow. Fitzgerald Signs PITTSBURGH, Jan. 29 MV-The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced receipts of Catcher Eddie Fitz gerald's signed contract. The West Coast lad Inst year posted a sparkling .303 batting average for Sacramento. Known team in a public contest and who is also the first player on last night during a baseball "hot Willard hotel. Some 200 fans mingled with such baseball Bevens and Joe Orenqo. was adopted for the club at or manager. of South San" Francisco, is 31 broke into organized baseball back in 1935 after he finished high I school when he was assigned to team in the class D Piedmont league. In 1937 he moved up to the triple-A International loop to play for Toronto, then spent the 1939- 40-41 seasons with Connie Mack and the Philadelphia Athletics. The war intervened and Ganten bein went Into the army for a couple of years In France and Germany. DEBIT AS MANAGER In 1946 he was back with Phthv delphia, was traded to the Chicago Cubs and then to the Los Angeles Angels where he was made a tree agent and picked up by the Phillies' system. He will be making his debut as a manager here. Gantenbein has played third base, short and second base, and will hold down one of those spots on the Pioneer roster. High point of last night's session was the appearance of the three visiting diamond dignitaries Walter (The Great) Mails, who blushingly aamits oeing u e "greatest pitcher the world has ever known": Bill Bevens, New York Yankee pitcher of 1947 World Series fame, and Joe Orengo. ex-big leaguer and now manager of the Sacramento Solons. BEVENS EXPLAINS And chief of those points was Bevens' explanation of the instance that made him famous that one- tut world series game he tossed against the Dodgers, a game Cookie I avagetto broke up with two out in the ninth innin: The details need not be repeated. Said Bevens Instructions were to Ditch outside to Lavagetto. He missed the first pitch by a foot But he didn't miss the second one. I should have drop- pea aeaa. Walter Mails, who was an Ameri can league flash back In the early ajs ana wno wm say a lew thousand colorful words on baseball any time uie occasion arises, carried the talk. lng load for the visitors, but not be fore Joe Orengo revealed that his Sacramento team has some young- is ne plans to larm to the Pion eers. Orengo is also a polished talker and a smooth-looking guy. He should be able to do something spectacular with the Solons. BASEBALL FOR KIDS Mails, who originated the 10 cent "kids" days for the San Francisco Seals, was strong in advocating the same step here. His suggestion prob ably will be taken up. BUI Spangler, president of Klam ath Baseball Inci announced last night that KBI can now lay its hands on some $25,000, but need another $15,000 to throw the green light on park construction and get ting ready for the coming season. The Pioneers can hardly miss with that start.

Pro Hoop Pressure Settles On By The Associated Presa The pressure was all on Seattle today. Bellingham's Fircresta blasted out a 95-63 triumph over the cellar Port land Indians last night to move within a game of clinching the flrst- nau Pacific Coast Professional Bas ketball league title. Seattle takes the center of the Huskies Next On List For OSC Beavers OREGON STATE COLLEGE. Cor. raws, Jan. 29 Washington's Hus kies, the team picked by most of the experts to wrest" the northern division hoop crown from Oregon State's defending champions, will invade Corvallis for a crucial two- game series against the Beavers Friday and Saturday nights. The two clubs will renew hostilities a week later at Seattle and the out come of the four games might very well determine the league's 1948 champion. The Seattle quintet, apparently intent on Justifying the experts' pre. dictions, moved Into the division leadership by whipping Oregon twice lust week-end, 48-44 and 56-39. Washington now has four victories against two defeats while Slats Gill's Beavers are half a game be hind with a 3 and 2 record. After playing five games in eight days, the Orange have been idle since January 17 with the result they are well rested for the Hus kies. The club has been strength ened by the return to the lineup of Alex Petersen, veteran 6 foot, 5 Inch center. Big Pete missed the first five conference starts because of a bad case of tonsilitls. With Petersen back In action, the Beavers will nave some much need ed height which they sorely needed in competition with the other di- ision members. Gill plans no other changes in his regular lineup of Norm Carey and Cliff Crandall, forwards: and Jim Catterall and Dan Torrey, guards. U. S. Hockey Teams Banned ST. MORITZ, Switzerland, Jan. 29 (Id Dr. Albert Mayer, member of the International Olympic com mittee and the Swiss organizing committee, announced today that the IOC voted 16 to 10 to ban both U. 8. hockey teams from the winter Olympics and added that the Swiss would reject the decision. , Mayer made the statement to an Associated Press reporter as he left a meeting of the International com mittee at which he said the vote was taken. The executive board of the Inter national committee had ordered the banning ot both teams yesterday in a decision which the Swiss also re jected. Swiss officials In charge of the games accepted the entry of the Amateur Hockey association as the official United States representa tive, resulting In a bitter protest by the U. 8. Olympic committee, which has entered a team of its own.

The Hornets dropped their second successive game to As toria last night by a 61-52 score but usually fashion a good perform ance against the Athletics. A loss by Seattle tonight would automatically give Belllngham the title; a Seattle win would leave the crown In the air until Saturday night when Belllngham faces Van couver and 8eattle plays Portland. The Flrcrests left no doubt of their intentions last night, running up a 45-26 half time margin and then picking up speed in the closing per iod. Gale Bishop, who counted 41 points against the Portlonders early this month, poured in another 36 to lead the parade. Allen Maul help ed out with 18. Nobel Jorgensen and Jack Goldsmith topped the Indians with 18 each. Astoria brought Its first half wins into double figures for the first time with a second-half spurt to over come a 25-22 halftime Vancouver margin. Norm Baker, Canadian for ward, hit 23 points for honors hut couldn't overcome the balanced of- lense of the Astorlans. Frank Smith led the victors with 17, and three others 11 or more. Early Salmon Runs Aided PORTLAND, Jan. 29 UP) The state game commission said today that Its closure of the Nehalem, Trask and Wilson rivers from March 1 to September 15 was neces sary to protect a declining spring Chinook salmon run. Answering protests against the closure, the commission said a study had shown spring Chinook lie In deep pools of those rivers during low water periods. A halt to angling may build U.e Chinook run back again, the commission said. The November closure of the Miami river is Intended to protect chum salmon, which spawn in the river during that month.

Jl ST SHOOTS Itt.lM) Last week-end, although con tinually watched by two men, Hurry piled up 56 points in two games against the strong Western Wash ington College of Education quintet. BUI McDonald, the western coach. said Ills shooting wus "uncanny." It Is, too, because the poker-laced ter ror of the maple courts rarely ever looks at the basket before shooting. He shoots one-handed, holding the ball with a hand as big as a banana bunch and shooting with a peculiar backward flip that Is at once deceptive and dradeye. The first four Inches Ills hand travels seem to be tile most Important, as he has many times been fouleu on the upward sweep of his arm with out loss of control ot the ball.
