Medford at Red ding, Marysvllle at Santa Rosa and . Willows at Pittsburg. However, reports from Orovllle .' indicate that it has been raining so much, water is standing on the hillsides and it is very doubtful ' whether any baseball can be played tonicht in that city. The Klamath Kails - Orovllle game probably will be postponed. Jerry Donovan, old time coast ' league outfielder and president of the Far West league, maintains an office on Market street in San " Francisco. His umpire assignments i for the opening series are as follows: i At Santa Rosa. Lou Ziger and Evans ' Mann. At Orovllle. Joe Garibaldi . and Howard Lovett. At Redding, Gene Mclsaae and Charley Trainor. At Pittsburg, Bill Rossi and Steve Yuhase. Donovan believes a lively race is In prospect for the league's maiden .

Help coming from Boston Red . Sox. By The Associated Press Tacoma continued to rule the Western International league roost today, but out of the corner of their collective eye, the Tigers are watch ing the fast-coming Victoria Ath letics. The Canadians, yet to lose on their home field, marked up their fourth straight last night a S-J de cision over Wenatchee to Jump from sixth to a third place tie with Salem. Two days ago they were in the cellar. TAG TEAM FOES HAVE RE-MATCH Although Frankie Stoiack and Glenn (Buddy) Knox licked Georges Dusette and Frankie Hart a week ago tonight in a rousing tag team match, they must hare to make it two best out of three to count. The same four grapplers in the same two teams will go at each other again tonight in the main event of the armory wrestling card. Even the referee will be the same, dour Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill, Ore., third-manning the affair. Last weeks match went the full hour time limit to a decision for BtojacE and Knox in as rousing a conclusion as has featured a local mat aiiair in many months. Tne opening event on the card will be a five-round scrap between i-aavo Katonen and Buck Weaver, scheduled to get under way at 8:30 p. m. Pels Smack Grants Pass KUHS's Pelican baseballers divid ed a twin ball Friday afternoon with the Grante Pass Cavemen, but took the game that counted in Southern Oregon conference play. Score of the seven-inning tilt was 8-2 for the Pels, while the Cavemen grabbed the five-stanza nightcap, 6-4. Pat Williams, right-handed pitch er, held the Cavemen to six hits in the conference encounter and fan ned six. The Cavemen took the early lead with two runs in the first frame, but the Pels put the game on Ice In their half of the frame. With two men on base, Ed Whit ney was walked and Danny Derrah smashed out a triple to chase in three runs. The games were played at Recrea tion field. Twirls No-Hitter PERRYDALE, Ore., April 30 (Pi Dick Turner, Valsetz high sch H pitcher, turned In a no-hit, no-run game yesterday aaglnst Perrydale High. Final score of the seven-inning tilt wast 12-0. Turner struck out 12, walked one and hit two batters. SEVEN ENTER DERBY LOUISVILLE. Ky April 30 t Seven three-year-olds were entered today for the 74th running of the Kentucky Derby, smallest field since 1914 for America's premier racing classic. There was a possibility, however. that only six might face the barrier at the 2:30 p. m. (PSTi post-time tomorrow. The doubtful entry was Galedo. owned by Charles O'Neil of Miami, Fla. The forecast calls for consider able cloudiness, warmer and pos sibly scattered showers. All the others, whose entry had been assured for days, were In with the top-heavy favorite Calumet farm pair of Citation and Coaltown heading the list. The Calumets weren't the first this morning, however, as R. W. Mcllvains Billings became the ini tial entry shortly after the box was opened at the Churchill Downs sec retary's office. Citation and Coaltown followed shortly, then came William L. Brann's Escadru. Galedo, Ben F. Whitaker's My Request, and Mrs. John Payson Adams' Grandpere in order. Jammed trains, planes, buses and other conveyances kept arriving to day with people in them, all eager to get sardlned into the rest of the crowd, expected to swell to 100.000. Woodburn Youth Is Javelin Kina CANBY, April 30 OP A Hall, Woodburn, was getting mention to day as the state's next high school javelin king. He tossed the javelin 185 feet 10', inches yesterday in the Willamette Valley league track meet, won by Molalla. This was a meet record. It was short of the state mark, but ob servers believed a duplicate throw would be good enough to win the state title for him at Corvallis later. Molalla scored 7914 points In win ning, followed by Sllverton 33'i. Woodburn 30',, EsUcada 24, Dallas 16, Canby 15!3. Mt. Angel 8 and Sandy 3. Merrill Athletic Fund Is Growing MERRILL, April 30 The cam paign for funds for the renovation and lighting of the Merrill athletic field Is going along satisfactorily with about half the monev needed already raised. An elk barbecue the elk donated by Chet Barton and a dance are among the fund-raising projects planned for the future. The ball park committee is headed by Dick Marks. Floodlights for night football and Softball are to be Installed on the field. Tacoma, meanwhile, racked up No. 7 with a 10-7 margin over Yaki ma as runner-uo Vancouver edged out Spokane 4-2. Salem and Brem erton divided a twin bill, the Ore gomans taking the opener 9-7 but losing out in the 10-inning finale 3-2. The split lifted Bremerton from a co-hold on the cellar to sixth place. Yakima and Spokane took seventh and eighth respectively. The two-hit hurling of Victoria's Larry Ward completely throttled the Wenatchee attack. The Chiefs, hit less for six innings, made both of their runs in the seventh when Ward bounced a pitch off Wilson's head. Andrade doubled and both scored on Gaviglio's single. A four run fourth inning did the uick for Victoria. Tacoma batters continued their field day at Yakima. Their 12 hits ran the three game series total to 43. Yakima bunched seven runs in the seventh inning but couldn't offset a three and six-run spurt by Tacoma in the fifth and sixth. Carl Gunnarson's four-hit pitch ing and Frank Mullens' three dou bles were the highlight of the Vancouver-Spokane lracas. Bremerton fans sat through five hours of baseball as the Blue jackets and Salem divided their twin bill. After watching four Bremerton hurlers throw away the opener with 10 walks, the long wait paid off at the end of the nightcap. With the hometowners trailing 2-1 with two away In the ninth inning. Bill Barisoff singled and knotted the count on Eddie Sameoffs triple Into left. Bremerton won in the 10th as Al Maul tripled into deep right center and scored on Frank Volpl's single. Angling Season Starts Buford Ransom. hard-Dunchlni and popular young welterweight from Seattle, announced In that city Thursday that he had signed to fight Kicnara Rengel of Fresno. Calif., Tuesday in a 10-round main event at Seattle, thereby giving Phil Samp son of Klamath Falls something closely akin to a run-around. Last Tuesday night, when Samp son was colliding with Billy Tierney at Seattle, quite a ceremony was made from the ring over a challenge from Ransom to the winner of the bout. He offered to meet the victor next Tuesday. History records that Sampson turned out the lights on Tierney In three rounds. History stso records that last fall Sampson knocked out Buford Ran som in Portland, administering the Seattle boy's only professional de feat. However, nothing more was said about the "challenge to the winner" made by Ransom until Seattle news men asked why. Then it was re ported that Sampson "had to return to Klamath Falls to go to school." Sampson does not go to school in Klamath Falls or anywhere else. having finished high school at Reno some time ago. The Indian south paw is believed to have returned to his home in Reno after the Tierney fight when he wasn't offered a re turn with Ransom. j Oakland Cards Three Doubles In Three Days Postponed Tilts Piling Up On All Coast Loop Teams By The Associated Tress Coast league managers were count ing their pitchers today as post ponements continued to pile up.
