Outlook
'Pesky'
For Bevos
GLENDALE, Calif. (UP) Down
through the years Portland has
fielded a team that has proved
troublesome to the Pacific Coast
League leaders and there's every
indication Uie Beavers will be Just
as pesky this year.
Tommy Holmes moved in from
Tort Worth as manager after Clay
Hopper took the Hollywood pos,
and tl-i. .met Boston Braves star
says he soing to do his best to
give Portland a first division club.
From all I can see and from
what I've heard, the league is
going to be stronger this year,"
said the energetic Holmes as he
put his Bevos through their paces
at Casey Stengel Field. "But I'm
going all-out to try and make this
team a first division squad."
VETERANS
Portland is loaded with veterans
who could get off to a fast start
while Holmes is seeking1 the help
he says he needs, chiefly in the
outfield. But it will be a while
before he can expect much from
Brooklyn which first has to help
Montreal and St. Paul before it
gets around to Portland.
"Our veterans are all digging
in and showing good enthusiasm,"
Holmes said. "And I'm hopeful we
can get the help we need."
The pitching staff is headed by
Bill V.'erle, who last year com
piled a 17-8 record. He's backed
by such other veterans as Red
Adams, Bob Alexander. Bob Hall.
Royce Lint and Dick Walbel. The
Beavers have acquired Ray Shore
from Toronto for relied duty. And
Holmes expects Rene Valdes. for
merly with St. Paul, to prove a
sleeper. But he needs three or four
more hurlers.
PROSPECT '
Back of the plate Holmes has
Ron Bottler, Sam Calderone aiid
John Roseboro, a Brooklyn farm
hand whom Tommy Holmes thinks
could be the best catching pros
pect in the league.
The Beavers have a well bal
anced infield that could set the
pace for the loop In double plays.
It fentures Ed Mickelson at first.
Ed Basinski or Artie Wilson at
second, Frank Austin or Jack
Littrell at shortstop and Jim
Baxes at third.
In the outfield, the Beavers can
open with major league veteran
Lloyd Merriman, Luis Marquez
and Jim Coranda. Holmes had the
latter at Fort Worth and considers
him a comer.
But unless help comes through
in the outfield and on the mound,
Holmes' team may bog down.
"I'm getting the finest support
I've had since I've been In base
ball, and we'll be a hustling club
that should please the Portland
fans," Holmes concluded.

SAN FRANCISCO i.fl Only two
teams ever have won two straight
NCAA basketball championships,
but the University of San Fran
cisco Dons figure to become No.
3 on Friday night.
The Dons, who will board an air
plane Tuesday night for Evansion,
111., and defense of their cage
crown starling Thursday night, are
confident they can siretcn their
successive game winning streak
to 55 straight at the expense of
Southern Methodist and either Io
wa or Temple and repeat their
1955 triumph in the process.
"I don't need any psychology
gimmicks to work on this crew,"
said Coach Phil W o o 1 p e r t.
"They're used to winning. Let me
put it like this: We're the defend
ing champions until we lose and
we've been winning for a long
time."
The "long time" goes back to
December, 1954, when the Dons
dropped a seven-point decision to
UCLA. They're beaten every one
else they've faced since then, in
cluding the Uclans three times,
while racking up 53 straight tri
umphs, In the process, over a two-season
span, they've stamped them
selves as the best defensive team
in the nation and have been tao
bed No. 1 In The Associated Press
poll both years.
Oklahoma A&M in 1945 and 1946
and Kentucky in 1948 and 1949 are
the only schools ever to repeat as
NCAA champions. Last year at
Kansas City. LaSalle was trounced
77-63, by USF as it tried unsuc
cessfully to defend its 1954 cham
pionship. The confidence of the Dons in
their ability was echoed by Pete
Newell, University of California
coach
"The Dons are a team without
a weakness that you can strike
at," said Newell. "That's the test
of greatness. They're a team, not
a bunch of five good Individuals."

too "soft" as he began his train'

The 23-year-old miner's son from
Witherbee, N.Y., arrived at the
Biiinbridge Naval Training Center
about 11:30 p.m. Monday night fol
lowing Induction in New York.
Along with other recruits, he
went through about 2li hours of
processing. One of his first chores
was to fill In 26 government forms.
About 2 a.m. he made his bed
and 'made a hasty entry only to
Jump right out again.
"It's too soft," he told Pete Sam
Dcmeter, CSC, duty chief of the
recruiting unit. "Do you have a
board I could put under the mat
tress?" Demeter said he didn't, but sug
gested Podres could sleep on a
nearby wooden table If lie desired.
Johnny accepted the Invitation.
He put his mattress and bed
clothes atop the table and climbed
in for his first Navy snooze. It
was a short one, though, because
he was up again at 4 a.m. for
more processing.
Podres, who beat the New York
Yankees twice in last fall's series,
had previously been rejected for
military service because of a back
ailment. He said he had been used
to sleeping on a board. Appar
ently some adjustments are In or

Pressure
Nothing
To Mi zell
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Wl
Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mtzell,
the pitcher the St. Louis Cardinals
are relying on to boost them inta
the first division, is well aware
of the mounting pressure but It
he s worried he doesn't show It
The tall, gangling southbaw
nrebailer can t help but know what
is expected of him. He's reminded
of it by practically every visiting
reporter.
Frank Lane says the club Is
counting a great deal on your com
ing through," a man tells him.
Does all that pressure bother
you?"
'No, sir," says Mizell.
"Fred Hutchinson says vou
ought to win 20. What do you
think?"
"I'd like to win SO," he replies,
'but I'll settle for every victory
get."
That's the pattern of almost
every Interview. The easy-going
country boy from vinegar Bend
ma., listens to all questions re
spectfully and replies to them
good-naturedly.
"I don't mind the questions," he
said in his slow, Southern drawl.
The boys don t mean no harm.
All I can say though is that I hope
to live up to all those expectations.
Hut 1 Pon t pay no mind to all
this talk about me. It don't bother
me one bit. The way I see it is
this way. Either I either got It or
I ain't. And I know I'm a better
pitcher now that I was before
went Into service."
Wlldness was Mlzell's biggest
handicap before he left the Cards
tor the Army In 1S54. Despite that
he won 23 and lost 19 over a two-
year span. Most of his time at Ft.
McPherson was spent practicing
control.
"I worked on' my eontrol every
chance I got," he said. "And I
also came up with a pretty good
curve ball, something I didn't
have before. I can throw It over
the plate about soven out of every
10 pitches. .And I'm as fast as
ever."

NEW YORK (UP) Sunk In

to advise you today that once
again this year it will be the Dodg

Series.
Before you start throwing rocks
(packed in snowballs) I'd like you
to know this didn't come easy. At
no time did I permit myself to be
influenced by sunshine, palm trees,
enthusiastlo managers or rookies
labeled as "new" Ty Cobbs or
"modern" Babe Ruths,
This soothsaying, forsooth, was
done In a hastily-constructed Igloo
on the pitcher's mound at Yankee
Stadium while the Coney Island
snow bird club was practicing the
giant slalom from the upper deck.
None of it. If you get the "draft",
Is guaranteed.
PUT OUT

seven clubs in each league prob
ably will insist on playing out the
season. But Just so they know how
much effort to put out, this, man,

because it looks like a one-team
race in the National League and a,
five-team scramble In the Amer
ican. The Yankees will have a rough,
time disposing of the Red Sox, In
dians, White Sox and Tigeri as
each league comes up with three
divisions. Washington composes the
second division in the A.L. with
the "third" division composed of
Kansas City, which still is in Mis
souri, and Baltimore, which still la
In Maryland.
WEEPING
Brooklyn, despite all the prema
ture weeping anent advancing age,
still stands In a National League
class by itself.
Composing the second division
are Milwaukee, which still lacks
the needed fire; St. Louis, which
discovers that everything with big
ears Isn't a pitcher; the lacking
Phillies; the pitch poor Redlegs
and the Giants, great in "Mays"
but short come Septembers.
In the 'third" division, Just a
sacrifice bunt above the Interna
tional League, are the Cubs and
Pirates. Their chief role seems one
destined to prove that Chicago still
is in Illinois and Pittsburgh still is
In Pennsylvania.
With both states fighting like
mad to prove It ain't necessarily
so.
So now,, all you double play
dlletantes down yonder can come
home and get this thing started.
