A nrar-rlot resulted from last
night's armory main event and
two comparatively new meanlea of
the Northwest mat circuit reached
a high mark In local unpopularity.
The Frankle HUiJack-lluddy Knox
tag combination once again bested
tleorgea Duselte and Frankle Hart,
taking two successive falls from the
unfortunate Hart, who waa carried
from the ring after the fight.
The Canadian dropped the first
fall when Biojack got his Infamous
airplane spin, whirling Hart 24
times and then handing him to
Knox, who slammed him down for
the count.
That fall Injured Hart's back and
Dusetle was out to taka the punish
ment from then on. He waa forced
to lag Hart after both Htojack and
Knox had worked hla left arm Into
virtual uselessneai, but In his con
dition Hart was no match for the
cleanly-shaven Knox. The Penn
sylvanlan began a aerlea of back
breakers, and Dusette threw In the
towel, only to have Blojiick scoop It
up from ills corner before Referee
Hob Kenaston anw It.
A number of siiectators then
climbed Into the ring. Intent upon
thoroughly mauling the Htojiick

of Kenaston, a state police officer
and a number of frantic wives to
clear the ring.

The Fighting Finn wrapped
Weaver In the ropes, and strangled
him Into near-unconsciousness be

the match. He awarded the tight to
Weaver, after repented attempts to
keep Katoncn clear.
The Finn gained the first fall In
the Initial round with a hang

second In the third round on a

Tigers were supposed to have Uie
best staff of starting pitchers In

their early season form In a hurry
they'll be In line for the "flop of the
year" award.
Detroit has played 11 gamea of lis
1041 American league schedule, witn
only two of Its "big five" starters
notching a victory so far. And the
way such stars al Hal Newhoiuer,
Freddie Hutchinson, Art Houtteman
and Paul (Dluyi Trout have been
kicked around U strictly "second
division" symptoms.
Only three Umes In It games has
a Tiger starling pitcher been around
for the finish. Even Virgil Trucks,
credited with two of Die four games
Detroit has won, had to have help
hla second lime out after bring given
an 8-0 lead.
Newhouser. who figured to return
to his 1D46 form after breaking even
laat season with a disappointing 17
17 mark, won on opening day but
has dropped three straight games
since.
Newhouser, touched for 24 nils In
25 Innings, and Trout, giving 14 hits
In 18 frames, are the only ones of
the lot who haven't been slammed
for al least one hit an Inning.
Freddie Hutchinson. Detroit's top
winner of last season with 18 wins,
has served up the surprising total of
22 blows In Just 14 Innings of work.
Trucks has given 18 hits In 18 In

For Pirates
lly The Associated Press
Bill Meyer, long celebrated as "the
best manager In the minors." seems
right at home In the big time. His
Pittsburgh Pirates, only a half game
out of first place, are the surprlsc-of-thc-inonlh
In the National
league.
Although Meyer has a reputation
aa an expert handler of young play
ers, the 1048 Pirates aren't exactly
a youthful club. They have to bank
on a pitching staff of old timers.
Take Rip Hewell. for example.
He retired last winter and was
placed on the Inactive list as a
full time coach. Now he Is one of
three pitchers In the league with a
perfect 2-0 second. Klmcr Riddle,
a Cincinnati castoff now with Pitts
burgh, Is another.
Hewell failed to go the route yes

Three-Prong
Race On For
League Lead
Portland's Liska
Gains 191st PCL
Win Over Twinks
By The Associated Press
A three-team race la going on at
the moment In the Pacific Coast
league.
The 8an Francisco Seals led the
way. They retained their l'i game
margin by beating San Diego 2-1
last night and Los Angeles kept Its
second spot by edging Sacramento
5-4 in 13 Innings.
The Oakland Oaks strengthened
their hold on third position by
smacking Seattle twice, 4-3 and 7-5,
moving within a half game of Los
Angeles.
But the rest of the league Is
strung out from five to eight game
behind the leaders.
Portland succeeded In ending a
seven-game losing streak, beating
Hollywood 3-2 In the first game of a
doubleheader, but the Stars took the
nightcap, 6-5.
GIFT TO OAKLAND
Oakland and Seattle were tied 3-3
In seven innings, supposed to be the
length of their first game, and
Seattle Pllcher Johnny Corsica
handed the game to the Oaks In the
eighth when he balked with the
bases loaded, forcing In a run.
The PCL midnight curfew ended
the second game after seven innings.
Seattle was leading 5-3 going Into
the last of the seventh when Oak
land exploded for four runs and the
ball game.
Portland's Pitcher Ad Liska won
his 191st PCL game In beating Holly
wood, putting him close to Seattle's
Kewple Dick Barrett, who ha 202
league wins. Liska allowed six hit,
also singling and scoring a run.
Portland's Mayo Smith, hit in the
head by a thrown ball a he slid
Into second base In the sixth of the
first game, waa hospitalized for ob
servation. Outfielder Frank Kelleher ac
counted for three Stars run in the
nightcap with homers In the second
and third Innings. He also hit a
rounduipper In the first game.
GOOD MOUND WORK
San Francisco's stellar pitching
continued a Manny Perez allowed
only one San Diego hit for seven
innings and only six hit in the
game. Gene Woodllng's homer in the
sixth and Ben Gultlnis double in
the seventh, scoring Dino Restelli,
accounted for the Seal run. Singles
by Vlto De Vlto. Len Rice and Pinch
Hitter Earl Kuper produced the only
San Diego tally in the eighth.
Sacramento plopped deeper In the
league cellar by losing the elongated
battle to the Angels. All the run
were in clusters of two a brace for
the Angels In the second and third,
for the Solons in the sixth and
eighth until the Angel won it in
the 12th when Bill Schuster singled,
advanced on a sacrifice and came

Tiger Jack Fox ha another knock

The veteran Spokane fighter put
Charley Eagle, New York, down for

gallons of gasoline on the field
and burning off the moisture.
It has been as bad for track
and In that sport the effect of the
big rain may be felt nationally.
The sky's overflow (two rainy days
in every three this spring) has not
given the ground a chance to dry.
The turf Is soggy. Field performers
get no footing. The race oval are
slow, often puddled.
Cold, damp winds have been un
relenting on chilled muscles. This
week unseasonable snow fell over
the state. The weather bureau said
there has been nothing like It
since 1894.
It couldn't have come at a worse
time. This year track coaches want
ed a long, dry spring and a hot
sun to sweat their athletes down
to condition. This I the year the
United State hopes to develop
Olympic games contenders.
The big rain has made It almost
certain none will come from this
section.
Paradoxically, It may be a bless
ing for the strong University of
Oregon golf team. Oregon went to
the NCAA golf tournament last
year from the Pacific Northwest
district. It Is favored to repeat.
How does the big rain help?

those who learn to break par when

It' apparent the Oregon boy

At Washington State they were
