Brenner Takes Over TPJHn.1. tltt ThI ta U. 4Na.t In a series on the prospects ol teams in the Western International Baseball League, written for The Associated Press by the sports writers who follow the teams throughout the season). . By CLANCY LORANGER -" Sporta Writer, The Vancouver Province VANCOUVER, B.C. Wl There's another new broom In the lront office of the Western Internation al League's baseball Capllanos, and In the best traditions ol new brooms, it has swept quite clean. When last year's general man ager, Dewey Soriano was called to groater wings ne's uie new o.M. of Seattle's Coast League entry an old Vancouver favorite, BUI Brenner, waa whistled up to take bis place, Brenner, who had managed the Caps from 1048 through 1950, had been hibernating at Lewiston for two seasons as manager, after a year as field boss at Yakima. He was happy to return to the Caps in triplicate, more' or less. Be sides his job as gcnoral manager, Brenner will also serve as Held boss and figures, on his 22 vic tories last year, to be the ace of his own pitching staff, too. At this stage, Brenner's squad, with a lot of now faces, looks more formidable than the 1933 team, which got by on pitching and the hitting almost exclusively of Manager Harvey Storey, who has since moved on to Salem as mftnnger. Brenner's pitching: should be as good as last year's. Besidea hlin sell, he's added Oeorge Nicholas, an excellent righthander making a comeback; Bill rrnnks, another righthander rrom Spokane; and Lctty Tom Del Sarlo, last year with Yakima. They should replace Lonnle Myers and Van Fletcher, currently with Seattle. Pete Her nandes Is there, loo. but will like ly rclum to the Caps. The Caps are stronger In calch Inr, with big Nick Pesut backed up by Bob Dureito; the infield Bhould hnvo much more punch, with newcomora Ellia Daugherty, via Colorado Springs at first, ex Coast LeaRuer Marv Williams at second, veteran Ken Richardson at third, and returnee shortstop Jim Clark. K. Chorlton Is back in center Held, and he ll be flanked by Bob Wellman In left, maybe he's still with Seattle; and either Dannv Holden or Arnie Hnllgren, bolh Vancouver boys. In right lirld. Consensus: Pitching, excellent: hitting, much Improved; fielding adequate. .

Portland Surprise Of Coast League By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The surprise of the Pacific Coast League at this early stage is Clay Hopper's Portland ball club. The Ports are In first place with eight wins and two defeats. They have been getting consistent pitch ing and the team is sound, de fensively. Olenn Elliott, the veteran south paw, won his second game Thurs day night aa Portland edged San Diego, 2-1, and Friday night Hop per is sending Bin Boemler, for mer San Francisco speedballer, against the hustling team of Lefty O'Doul. Elliott whiffed lo Padres as he scattered six hits and earned the decision over Bob Kerrigan. Walt juomch's double off the right field fence in the fourth scored the first Tun for Portland. The clincher came in the seventh as Jim Oladd's grounder took a had bounce over short for a hit and he moved to second on an Infield out and scored on Frankie Austin's single. Sacramento made It three straight over Seattle as Chesty Chet Johnson scattered seven lilts and notched his first victory, 4-1. Tommy Byrne, the ex-American Leaguer, was the loser In this duel of somhpaws. The decisive blow was a two-run double by sec ond baseman Hank Schenz in the fifth inning. Seattle presented a oatched-un lineup as Manager Jerry Prlddy was absent from first base be cause at a sore back, second base man Artie Wilson was out with a spike wound and shortstop Mer rill Combs was absent because of the death of his mother in Los Angeles. Cellar-dwelling Hollywood served as a door mat again lor Oakland, 13-3. Six Hollywood pitchers saw dulv and gave up 16 hits. Bob Hall, who started, was no puzzle at all, but neither were his successor. There were 17 bases on balls and the game took three hours, 15 minutes to complete. Leity Joe llatlcn o tched Los Angeles to a 3-2 decision over San Francisco. It was his third straight win, . . .

J by way ui oneaas. h-is.. wno has hnn noping ior "just one big chance" The fighting father of four cut it when ,he was matched with the husky, hard-punching 21-year-old from Detroit. Ward made a big splash while losing on an eighth round kayo to wallorjlns wihip Troy of Washington in a TV fight last Feb. 23. It was a sensational show while it. lasted. Ward always makes an Inter. esting fight wlHi his aggressive, nonstop Dunchin stvle. If .inhnvm can beat him, he'll have to look good while doing so. That could put him in line for plenty of future engagements to help feed his brood. Ward, however, has some am. bltlous ideas of his own. After be ing stopped by Troy, then the fourth - ranking middleweight, he lost a split decision to Holly Mlms, another contender, at Detroit March 3. Moses wants to regain the winning habit. He had won nine in a row until he met Troy. The bout Is rated a pick "em affair In the betting. Starting time Is 10 p.m., EST, for and telecast (NBC). Johnson's record Is 28-a with m kayos.

DREW'S HEREFORD RANCH Old Midland Road Ph. 3924 Pelicans Divide With Medford Nine Derby Faces Problem By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK HI All we've been able, to gather from a thorough reading of the racing papers the past few days Is the conclusion that they're finally going to he forced to run the Kentucky Derby in at least two sections. Otherwiso the 3-year-old classic will look like a May Day parade. Since both Turn-to and Porter house were declared out, nobody seems to be scared of anything that's left, including Correlation, the current favorite by default. The fact that Eddie Arcaro, the only five-time winner of the event, has given bis royal consent to ride Ooyamo Isn't expected to tighten anyone out either. A typical day's report on work outs shows 48 eligible colts still getting in their practice licks at' various tracks, not counting those entered in races on the given after noon, A trainer Is quoted as saving, "Everybody has a chance now. It should be fun." Something's got to give within the next three weeks unless Col. BUI Corum, the head of Churchill Downs, is to be laced with a weighty problem. One of the more dramatic turns of the spring has been the success ful comeback of Hal Newhouser to win a contract with the Cleveland Indians estimated to be worth $15, 000. Still short of his 33rd birthday and an even 200-game winner dur ing his career with Detroit, the lett-hander was cut loss last July, apparently washed up with an in curably sore arm. Two months ago he accepted an Invitation from his old friend and teammate Hank Greenberg to work out with the Indians at their Tucson training camp. It was considered a nice gesture on Hank's part. He probably was the most surprised man in Arizona when the eccentric lefty began to look like his old self in exhibition games. Finally, last week. Hank called the former boy phenom in to talk contract. So what happened? Hal, accord ing to the grapevine, didn't think too much of Hank's offer. It seems that other clubs had heard about his new lease on life too and had been talking money to him. as thev had a perfect right to do under baseball law. Newhouser brokj ud the first conference by saying he would have to talk It over with his wife. There was no transcript of the conversation, but the outcome was that Hal eventually returned and accepted Hank's terms. He had. however, upheld his long-time rep utation as a tough bargainer. Hank, they say, looked like a man who had barely escaped having his hand chewed off by a family pet.
