OREGON TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1948 Dodgers Are Citrus Circuit Champions Durocher Still Moans Lack Of Pitching NEW YORK, April IS The Brooklyn Dodgers, lor tlie second consecutive year, are the "grape fruit" league champions of the National league. . Manager Leo Durocher's Brooks have five games left on their spring exhibition schedule but they can drop all five and still finish on top. The Dodgers to date, Including their "B" team, have won 30 games and lost two for a .938 percentage. The Cincinnati Reds trail the Dodgers, having won 20 games and lost 11 for a Mi mark. ' Meanwhile, the Yankees have regained first place In the American league standings from the Cleve land Indians. The Yanks won six In a row during t he week to boost their mark to .636. The Indians art second with a .600 mark. However, all was not peace and quiet with the Brooks. In Balti more yesterday for an exhibition game with the Orioles, Manager Leo Durocher had some uncompliment ary remarks to make about his team's pitching and at the same time forecast that the Dodgers would be Just as hard to catch as last year. Durocher told interviewers that the Bums have "the worst pitching staff of the loop." He didn't go Into details over the shortcoming of his mound staff, but It caused hearers and the rest of the National league too, probably, to wonder Just what would satisfy the Lip. FLAYED ONLY MINORS The Dodgers haven't met a major league club in all their spring meanderlngs, but have showed well. ,To win 30 of 32 games they have used such hurlers as Ralph Branca, Joe Hatten. Preacher Roe, Harry Taylor and Hugh Casey, plus such promising young men as Rex Barney, Jack Banta. Phil Haugstad, Ervin Palica and others. 'Durocher said he figured St. Louis and Boston will be the main stum bling blocks for the National league champions this year. He would not predict where he would finish but "the Cards, with all that pitching, are the team to beat and the Braves will be right up there." KEEP 'EM GUESSING Leo said he had a pretty fair idea of what his starting lineup would look like come the opening of the season, but told reporters to use their Imaginations for a little longer. Ray Sanders, acquired from Bos ton In the Eddie Stanley deal, is the question mark. If Sanders doesn't round into shape to play first base the Dodgers may have Outfielder Pete Reiser on first and move Jackie Robinson over to his natural posi tion at second base. JOE SAYS HE'LL KO WALCOTT NEW YORK, April 13 WV-Heavy weight Boxing Champion Joe Louis, on a strict diet of Juicy steaks, promises hell be bigger and tougher for Jersey Joe Walcott June 23. . "I'll knock him out this time," the champ predicted with a cold mat-ter-of-factness after arriving home from Europe yesterday with his handlers, wife Marva and two French poodles named Peter and Paul. i "I don't know what round or how m do it, but I'll stop Walcott," he added under gentle prodding. Louis, who Is supposed to have earned 180.000 on his continental visit, said Europe didn't have any heavyweights of consequence al though an Englishman named Ran dolph Turpin looked like a "comer." Tomorrow noon he and Walcott will sign contracts In the office of Edward Eagan, chairman of the New York state athletic commission. Then the champion will head for Bloomfield. Mich, for baths and pre liminary conditioning before Jump ing Into regular training at Pomp ton Lakes, N. J. May 18.

Fred Bradley and Catcher Aaron Robinson were traded to the Sox by the New York Yankees for Lopat. "Wight is younger than Lopat and he's faster." observes Lyons. "He has poise and he has the best move toward first base I've seen In my 2S years In the game." HOUSTON, Tex.. April 13 The St. Louis Cardinals, whose at tack has been somewhat less than awe-inspiring In recent games, un corked a home run punch against the Chicago Cubs yesterday to win the Initial clash of a four-game series. 6-5.

April 13 Cincinnati Red Manager Johnny Neon's "big inning" strategy sems to have found a payoff play er in Left Fielder Hank Sauer. Sauer connected for a grand slam homer as the Reds compiled an eight-run inning and a 9-7 victory over the Boston Red Sox yesterday. Sauer's homer, his tenth, enabled the Reds to over come a six-run deficit. TUCSON, Arts. (NEAl Cleve land Is a city where they win pen nants In April and send the cops out to restrain the heart-broken caucus from Jumping into Lake Erie In October. This spring finds the Tribe poised for another all-out drive, and strange as it may seem, Lou Uou dreau has more to buck up the per ennial optimism of the faithful than he or Buy of his predecessors for the last two decades could boast. It would be a long hop. The In dians finished fourth last year, three gnmes behind the Red Sox and only two out of the second divi sion. They were 17 games off the pace of the chnmpUm Yankees. In Manager Boureau can pick up all this slack he will be something of a magician, but be assured there Is no pessimism in the ranks. The Retlmen think they can do It. Here's how: The best pitcher In baseball Rob Feller Insists he will win 25. five more than be posted In 1947. Rapid Robert Is stung by the fact that his work last season was his poorest since 'SS.

Pittsburgh Flags At Half Mast For Coach PITTSBURGH. April 13 iP) The city's flags flew at hall -mast today as Pittsburgh paid its- last respects to one of the greatest foot ball teachers of all time. Dr. John B. (Jock) Sutherland. The body of the 59-year-old coach lay in state at Calvary Episcopal church. It would remain there until late this afternoon when members of the Pittsburgh Steeler football team men he coached last fall will carry it to Homewood ceme tery. Throughout the city, people were Portland Ready For Home Bow By the United Press The Seattle Rainlers. submerged deep In the Pacific coast league cellar, make their first home bow of the 1948 season today with the seventh place Oakland Acorns fur nishing the opposition. Despite the lowly standing of the two teams, a good crowd is expect ed to be on hand when Kewpie. Dick Barrett takes the mound for the opening pitch. Barrett Is one of the few bright spots in the Rainier fold to date, winning two of the Seattle nine's three games. Portland, tied with the Oaks in seventh place, also makes its home bow this week. The series opener, against Hollywood, was postponed until Wednesday afternoon. Other series this week, both open ing tonight, send San Diego against San Francisco and Sacramento against Los Angeles, the last nam ed teams being hosts. talking of the Scots boy who learn ed rugby and soccer In his native land, and had to be persuaded to try out for football at Pittsburgh university. He became a member of what old-timers still call "the great est Pitt team "the eleven of 1916. They recall his five great years at LaFayette and 15 at Pittsburgh. He had two all America players on his LaFayette teams and no less than nine at Pittsburgh. His brilliant career, transferred from college to professional foot ball, was cut short by death early Sunday morning In West Penn hos pital, following a brain operation.

Dominated Dive Field But Missed Olympics By JACK IIKWINS SEATTLE, April 13 Al Patnik squinted up at the tip of the high board and grinned. "Yep." said Al. "I could still do it." The Olympics were on Al's mind. The man who dominated the. national diving scene for four years and won 30 championships never got to the Olympics. Hell miss the Big Shop in 1948. but Al "could still do it." Usually he has a hard time saying "No." For that reason Al finds himself up on the board In the spotlight quite often, an added attrac tion at some swimming meet. Al is a bu.slncs.smnn In the Northwest and can't spare the time. Deep-chested Al Patnik was the Babe Ruth of the sprlngbourds from 1937 through 1940, hitting his peak the year after the world snorts carnival In Berlin. Right after he graduated from Ohio State he sign ed with the Lincoln Electric com pany of Cleveland as an employe: not because he was the world's greatest diver at the time. Since 1943 he's been out here In the ever green country, selling welding equipment in Washington, Oregon. North Idaho and Western Montana. He dives only for fun these days. Drop In at the Washington Athletic club when Al ia In town and you'll probably find him in the handball court, rather than the pool. If you're after an Interview you'll have a gr?at talk with Al and wind up wita a story about Mike Pcppe. Mike, his coach at Ohio Stale, has been Al's buddy ever since he showed up at Columbus, wanting an education. "I was Just a little, skinny kid from Pittsburgh with no special ability." Al remem bered. "Mike Peppe helped me get a Job so I could go to school." Peppe was amply repaid for that kindness. The Patnik perfection on the high board and the low added luster to the little coach's fame. Those 30 records chalked up by the Pittsburgh kid started Ohio State on a string of 68 diving champion ships in a dozen years, not counting the 1948 AAU meet. but Business Man Patnik will stick to his job. He figures Friend Mike will lug the big prizes home from London anyhow. Miller Anderson and Bruce Harlan are Ohio State's Olympic Insurance for 1948. America's too. Incidentally. Friend Mike, who brought his team out here last year to win the national collegiates, has another date in the Northwest May 22. This time he's coming out to be best man at Al's wedding. Patnlk's willingness to help out at swimming shows led him into ro mance. He was in Yakima, Wash, for a diving exhibition when he met Ruth Hanses. After the wedding he thinks he and Ruth will make their home at Spokane, about In the cen ter of his business territory. Diving ability isn't something you shed along with your college cords, says Al. A day or two or practice will get you ready for exhibition diving. If you're always In condition you can come right in from a lonr. tiresome road trip and turn in a good show. But regaining the finesse you must have for competitive diving would take months of steady prac tice. An Olympic title would be a great topper for those 20 crowns.
