PAGI TWELVf HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL I. 1941 Gripe About Masi Stresses Acute Lack of Catcher ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 1 (NKAl An old-time scout calls the Cardinals' catching the worst In history of the majors. "Well, not quite that bad," com ment Eddie Dyer, "but It's certainly a He-saw puzzle, The manager of the 8t. Louis Nationals last season had to alter nate three backstops fairly evenly. Young Joe Garaglola doesn't get the ball away fast enough. The Dodgers, for example, would steal everything but the Red Birds' Wat ers. For his nd other reasons, cer tain pitchers don't choose to throw tj Garaglola. Harry Brecheen, for Instance. In tlsts on Del Rice, who, It will be recalled, handled the Cat through out the 1946 World Series. He even . marched in with the little left hander when he went in to save the pay-off game. The trouble with Rice Is that, while he treats southpaws as though he owned them, he can't hit right handers with two bats, or a paddle. That's too bad, for the fellow has power. He manufactured a dozen home runs against left-hand pitch ing last season in 97 games, and wound up batting all of .218. Del Wllber, the Cardinals' third masked man, is big and slow and doesn't hit enough. This is why Dyer is taking such a good look at squatty John Bucha. who is attemptmg to Jump all the way from Columbus, Oa., and Omaha. "And to think that In January. IMS, I could have had Phil Masi nd $50,000 from trie Braves for Walker Cooper," moans the person able Dyer, "but Sam Breadon in sisted upon the $175,000 from the Giants." The price 'tag on Cooper gives you a rough idea of what good catchers are worth today, stresses the acute shortage of capable hands behind the plate. Competent Judges agree that In addition to Cooper and Must there are no more than three Grade A catchers with the 16 big league clubs, giving them a total of Just five. The others are the remarkable Bruce Edwards of the Brooklyns, Buddy Rosar of the Athletics and Ray Lamanno, who teams up with the amusing Ewell Blackwell for the Reds, Rosar. by the way. Is the only American Leaguer among the big five. f-w -,-w w.7.-v-r- " 'www Jim Megan of the Indians Is one , Mike Tresli, 34, is giving Auiim lools of Ignorance.

Batters bombarded pitchers in the games last night, the second day of competition in the long PCL season. Los Angeles' Angels topped them all with a 20-hit assault that sank San Diego, 17-3, a score dupli cating Hollywood's opening night win over Seattle. Seattle tallied 11 hits last night to even things with the Stars. 4-3, la 10 innings. Portland's Beavers, who beat Oakland's Will Hafey opening night, took picks on his pitcher-brother. Tom Hafey, last night . as they beat the Oaks. 9-4. Each team got nine hits. San Francisco used a nine-hit attack to beat Sacramento, 4-1. Kewpie Dick Barrett, the perennial of the Seattle mound staff, won his 189th game as a Coast leaguer In holding Hollywood to eight hits, but It required a fielding gem in the ninth by the Rainiers' speedy outfielder. Bill Ramsey, to save the cause. Ramsey made an electrifying catch on a terrific smash by Frank Kelleher that would have ended the ball game. The Rainiers and the Stars drew only 3059 spectators, despite com lortable weather. Los Angeles hammered 20 hits off three San Diego hurlers, among them homers by Broadway Bill Schuster, Dominic Dallesandro and Eddie Malone. Fred Schmidt was touched for 10 hits but he scat tered them, got good fielding sup port and wasn't scored on after the third. COASTED ALONG Portland's Vince Dibiasi coasted along against Oakland, being spot ted a 9 to 3 lead by the fifth, but the Oaks touched him for two runs In the ninth. Tom Hafey. who started for Oakland, had to be derrick ed In the fourth. Herman Reich and Ford Mullen hit home runs for the Beavers. Manny Peres, former Hollywood chucker, turned in a steady five hitter for San Francisco as the Seals took their second straight from Sacramento. Singles by Joe Marty and Johnny Rizzo, plus a Seal error, produced the Solons' only run. Students Ask Gill To Stay CORVALUS. Ore..
