A twi-night holiday double bill la on the slate for today out at Gems field but the set is hanging in the balance. A couple of hours of sunlight will keep the games on. another shower or two of rain will call them off. A decision may not be made until the middle of the afternoon.

He is For rest (Shotgun) Schoettgen. right handed pitcher, who was made a free agent. The Gems roster now has sixteen players and the man ager, class D league limit. Schoettgen, 18 years old and a resident of Columbia, Calif., was property of the Stockton Pons and farmed out to the Gems. Re had appeared in five games, winning one and losing two. Manager Joe Gantenbein said that he believed Schoettgen had plenty of ability but needed a little semi-pro experience to develop confidence in his work. .A season of semi -pro throwing should enable htm to stick in organized baseball. The Stockton team was notified that Schoettgen was being turned loose. The Gems expect to have one or two more players coming in some time this week and when they ar rive will have to lop off some mem bers of the present squad to make room. After May 30 a class D club Is allowed to carry only 17 players on the active roster. 1 ' b -Am I .

Jubilant over the early season success o( their favorites, gated upon Frank E. McKlnney, Pirate president, with new admiration today. From the looks of tilings after six weeks of the major league season, there breathes a man who finally has gotten at least an even break In a player transaction with Branch Rickey, the acknowledged No. t trader In baseball. So imagine the Pittsburgh fans' Joy yesterday when the Plrales knocked off the league leading St. Louis Cardinals in a doubleheader, 8-3 and 7-8. The victories, which tightened Pittsburgh's grasp on third place in the National league pennant race, were achieved mainly with players obtained from the Dodgers To begin with. Pitchers Kirby lllgbe and Vlo LoinburdI were credited with the victories. Each tolled for the Brooks. Hlgbe allowed only one hit In 4 1S Innings of scoreless relief in the first game. Lombardl, also working In relief, held the Cards scoreless In a two-Inning mound stint In the aftermath. The big guns of the attack, along with Outfielders Wally Westlake and Ralph Klner, were ex-Dodgers Kd Stevens, Bian Rojek and Dixie walker.

May 31 In spite of the fact that Oregon's pheasant population is favorable this spring, little hunting can be expected this year if the cold wet weather con tinues through the rest of May and June. John McKean, in charge of upland birds for the Oregon state game commission, stated that the first broods hatched in the wild state have already been observed by game field agents. He also pointed out that little survival can be ex pected from these newly hatched birds in cold wet weather. In Eastern Oregon the lateness of the season has delayed the growth of vegetation to such an ex tent that little nesting cover Is available for pheasants and high losses by prcdation can be expect ed. Many nesting areas also have been flooded out with high waters throughout the state. C. A. Lockwood, game supervisor, announced that plans call for the rearing and releasing of 60,000 pheasants this season at the com mission's game farms. The wet cold weather, however, has hinder ed artificial propagation of pheas ants as well as the reproduction In the wild state. . pletely around and then some to score five runs.

Bing's Voice Persuades Lad To Hook With Bucs By HOB MVKII8 LOS ANGELES, May Jl W-l!aeuall 'I major league scouts are In for tough competition If the following story Is true. Seems that a squad of Ivory huntera descended en innnae oil Hula. Idaho, all anxious to take a look at a brilliant young high school pitcher named Bob lws, and all determined to sign him up If h looked good. He did. Present, according to the story, were such exiierlenced talent Judges as Dutch Rtiether of the New York Giant. Mollis (Sloppy) Thurston of Cleveland and others-Including the oft-tuallgiied Floyd Caves tTliree Men on a Base Babe) Herman, scouting for I'lltsbiiigh. All held out tantalising offers, but Herman got a brighter idea. 11a grabbed a telephone and called - Pittsburgh. Soon after that the 4 phone In the young man's home rang. The call was from New York. The voice was most familiar to the youngster, It gave him a big thrill and apparently a successful sales tulk. There Is no proof that the culler sang "Pennies From Heaven." but It did belong to the vice president of the Pittsburgh club a gent named Hlug Crosby. Now with Der Mingle scouting for the Pirates, and Bob !loK owning a small piece of Cleveland, you can see what the legitimate scout may be up against. In contrast to the Junket by the New York Giants of the National Baseball league to Honolulu last year, the l.os Angeles Rams of the National Football league should do al' right In the Islands next Sep tember. Tex Schramm of the Rams olfrrs a good explanation: major league ball players were no novelty to the sports minded Islanders. They saw the best of 'em DtMagglo. Peewee Reese. Mine, Joe Gordon, Fain and many others playing service ball during the war. No wonder the Giants dropped around IIS OO0 on their springtime experiment. Ram Prexy Dan Reeves believes pro football will be different. And the pre-season exhibition games are not to be laughed oft, either. Reeves merely pointed out that these gamea can be fierce for one good reason the Gargantuans of the gridiron are In the process of cinching a Job. and a Job means bread and butter for all the little Gargantusns. Ride Note: Insiders sav that the 18.000 Olant deficit wasn't the sole csuse for the cooling affections be tween the New York Giants' owner, Horace Stoneham and Paul Pagan, bankroller of the San Francisco club, who engineered the deal and has ex tensive Interests In Hawaii. Shall we say there was a clash of person alities? Quote from a Los Angeles sports page recently: "With Southern California scheduling Utah Septem ber 17 at the coliseum. It may be re called that the Trojans' first Inter national fame In history was against the Utes bark In 1915" Two edi tions later, however, the "Interna tlonal" game became an Intersec. tlonal contest and Utah got bark In the union.
