SPORT HAL'S SHOP Big Spring Sale is now in progress Hundreds of Items -ft All New Merchandise Fishing Tackle i Clothing Many More A GENUINE SALE AT HAL'S Stock up at low prices and save! 532 MAIN CLAYTON HANNON, Sport Editor Oregon Tech Meets Lassen Junior College Orecon Tech travels to Susan- vllle this weekend (or a three Rnme baseball series, with Laseii Junior College, but U the results are the same as lasts week's ser ies at RecreaUon Field. It will probably resemble spring football practice. In last Saturday's games, the Mile High Campus nine turned on the steam and rolled over hap less Lassen 36-1 and 36-5. Ill Uie Sunday afternoon contest Lassen managed to score nine runs, but Tech countered with 34 of their own. These were the first games of the season for Lassen, and with the past week s practice sessions, it is expected that they will be better ballclub than the Owls faced last week. Art Klrland's ballclub will prob ably be about the same that has started the last lew games for the local school. Dick Joslyn will get the catch ing assignment for one or two of the sanies, and Art Weathouse hnnlrt tfA snml action durlnK this .erl.s behind the Plate In the oth- er contest. Pitching will probably be fairly well divided, with Tech's two left handers, Arvey Nelson and Ron Wright slated to see some action as will Big Kay uarrow ana uten Marcum. Marcum, Wright and Nelson all register wins over the Lassen ballclub in last week's g?mes. The infield will be composed of Don Vest or Marcum at first base, and Lee Oliver or Dave Savage holding down the hot corner at third base. The double play com bination will be made up ol Larry Oatney at second base and Larry Jeter covering the shortstop posi tion. The Owl's outfield will probably be comprised of Warren Osborne in left, Odie Canada in center, and Lew Emerson In right. These three along with Joslyn and Oatney have been pounding out plenty of base hit for the Tech ballclub and will be counted on tomorrow and Sun day for more safeties. Besides these probable starters. Klrkland will probably use plenty of reserves as he did against Las sen in the Sunday game, when 16 players saw action. Next Tuesday the Owls return home to meet the tough Southern Oregon College Red Raiders In an afternoon doubleheader at Recrea tion Field. Modoc Lettermen Meet Col Coach ALTURAS Modoc High Var sity football lettermen were feted, last Monday nght, April 26, In a University of California alumni dinner held In the Mallard Room In the Modoc Hotel In Alturaa, Cal ifornia. They were Invited by Fred Hoffman, who Introduced them to the guest of honor, Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf, bead football coach and athletic director of the University of California at Berkeley. He gave a short speech on the future of his football team, the spring athletic program offered at the University of California, and some of last year's memorable events. In closing, a movie on some of the various spring athletics that they have at the U, of C. was shown. TEXAS LEAGUE San Antonio 9, Tulsa I Beaumont 7, Dallas 6 . Fort Worth 3, Shreveport 1 Oklahoma City 7, Houston PHONE SS69 Grimm Warns N L Ballclubs NEW YORK i Charlie Grimm, greeting Eastern clubs on their tlr.il vlst of Uie season to Mil waukee. Is warning them that thoy can expect to run Into a load of trouble and ntluht even uet sralnttd j txrforo they llnlsh their expedition through the western hall of the National League. He doesn't nec essarily mean his own Braves will do it cither. "The Chicago Cubs. Clhcinna'.l Reds and SI. Louis Cardinals all are Unproved plenty." Charlie says. "II they're a sample, we've got a real eight-team league. I'd say the Cubs are the most Im proved, especially in their Infield. Any time they get pitching they'll be tough. "Wally Post has made a big Im provement in Cincinnati's outfield I and they've got a line Infield com- j blnatlon. Tom Alston looks he'll do around to me 1 1 k e first base. I can't see any of those three clubs gelling run away from cany, u at all." The Sporting News predicts that a big league franchise will be shift ed to Dallas within a few years and seems to feel that Los Angeles and San Francisco have lost out. Travel to Dallas. It points out, would present no great problem. The Texas metropolis boasted a population of 434.403 in the 1950 census and Is believed to be al or over the halt-million mark now. Milwaukee, by comparison, had a hrnd count of 637.39 In 1950, and the Braves expect lo draw two million al the gate this season. There is no hint of the club who might open up the Southwest to big league ball, but men in the business regard the Philadelphia Athletics as hot prospects unless irieir attendance improves In a hurry. Dick Burnett, the oil tycoon owner of the- Dallas franchise In the Texas League. Is said to have the money which would be needed to swing such a deal.
