TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1950 RAINIERS | OPENING AT HOME Portland Also Playing on Home Grounds in | Doubleheader | (By the Associated Press) | Coast League baseball makes its | bow in the Northwest today with | both Seattle and Portland bowing | into their home parks for the first | time in 1950. Seattle, prematurely flushed \mh‘ success over its 4-3 series win at| Oakland last week, greets the new | Rainiers and the touted “Miracle | Man of Baseball” — Manager Paul | Richards—in a 2:30 clash with last year's league champions, Hollywood. Portland pulls a new one—two openers the same day — when it faces off with Oakland in an after- noon tilt and then tangles with the same nine again under the lights. It also will be opening day for two clubs down south, Los Angeles en- tertaining San Diego and San Fran- cisco hosting Sacramento. Both of | these conflicts go on under arcs. | The Seattle-Hollywood fracas matches the two best pitching arms | of the league—last season. Seattle’s | Guy Fletcher and the Stars’ Pinky ‘Woods knotted atop the standings | with 23 wins and 12 losses each. Neither has pitched to a decision | this year. Despite an optimistic weather man, Hollywood isn't expected to trot out the scanties debuted last | week in drubbing Portland five games to two. Governor Langlie and | Seattle’s Mayor Devin head the dig- | nitaries. In eaddition to its rlny-n‘xght; doubleheader, Portland also cops | honors for uniqueness with its fe-| male hurling corps. The Rose City Mayor, Dorothy McCullough Lee, was to toe the slab for the opening pitch. The Beavers planned to start Red Adams against Earl Jones in the opening game with either Jack | Creel or Roy Helser opposing Al Gettel in the nightcap. ACE SAIN LOOMS UP 60ODFORM (By the Associated Press) I Johnny Sain, ace pitcher for the | Boston PEraves, no longer had a| scoreless-inning streak to boast about today. But nevertheless the| big righthander gives promise oti regaining his brilliant 1948 form. | The strapping 200-pounder sparked the Braves to the National League pennant two seasons ago ‘when he won 24 games and lost 1 striking out 137 batters and walking 83 He couldn’t maintain the pace last | year. Hindered by a sore arm and | seeing less action, the Arkansas moundsman had a record of 10 and 17. With the same Braves in 1947, he had a 21-12 mark and, in 1943, it was 20 and 14. Johnny stretched his string of scoreless innings to 18 yesterday by blanking the tough Tigers from De- troit in the first inning of a game at Lakeland, Fla, won by the Braves, 6-4. Bain finally was nicked for a run in the second inning. The Red Sox, Boston’s highly re- spected American League represen- tatives, dropped their seventh game in their last eight starts by fin- ishing on the wrong end of a 5-% tussle with the St. Louis Cardinals. For the Cards, it meant the end of a six-game losing chain. They were outhit, 13 to 8. ROOKIE PITCHER IS RANKING HIGH CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., April 4 —{P—For a fellow who has allowed seven runs on 10 walks and two hits in only three and 2/3 innings, rookie pitcher Bob Kelly ranks un- usually high with Manager Frankic Frisch of the Chicago Cubs. Kelly, up from Los Angeles where he compiled a 9-16 record last sea- son, has come up for consideration of the Cleveland Indians. Frisch, in a talk with the Tribe Chief Lou Boudreau, said ae thought the 22-year-old righthander was worth at least $175,000. “If you can get him out of your league, you've got a deal,” snapped Boudreau. SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN'S SCORES IN TURNOUTS, GRID FIELD (By the Associated Press) Kip Taylor, whose Oregon Statc College football team topped the Northwest in the Pacific Coast con- ference standings last fall, was out in front again today. When 107 candidates greeted his spring training call yesterday, Tay- ior found himself working with the largest turnout of the five North- west .schools. Whether he can cull out some unpolished nuggets from the mass to replace some of his 16 departing lettermen remains to be een. At FEugene, Coach Jim Aiken didn’t have the numerical strength of his inter-state rival, but he got underway with a bang. The 75-man quad warmed up for an hour, then i ed away in scrimmage before ling it a day. Washington’s Coach Howie Odell, whose drills got underway last week, also opened the week with crimmage. The day's most note- werthy development was the trans- fer of Husky Gene Norton of Sno- homish, a reserve back last season, into the right guard spot. Idaho also opened its spring drills yesterday. Miller Is Sought by (ardinals (By Associated Press) Fred Saigh, Cardinal President, reveals that he would like to sif Eddie Miller, veteran infielder re- cently dropped by the Philadelphia Phillies. Stopping off in Atlanta, Ga., on Lis way to St. Louis, Saigh said, “I hope we can get Miller. If he does come with us it will bolster our infield a great deal.” eman Joe Gordon has been performing for the Cleveland ians on the grapefruit grind with the zeal of a rookie trying to make he team. The 35-year-old Gordon, whn | came into the bigtime 12 years ago, after starring at Oregon, clouted a 365-foot homer over the centerfield wall with a man aboard. He had 2 homer Sunday, too, and his total of five is only two less than that o Luke Easter who’s been at bat about twice as often. It looks now as though Hal New- houser’s mysterious arm trouble may prevent him from pitching the Detroit Tigers’ American League opener. The opener — against Cleveland April 18 this year—has been Hal's private property in the past. However, Manager Red Rolfe is figuring on Freddie Hutchinson, former Seaitle Rainier, or Art Houtteman. He says “It looks like one or the other.” Sporis_Briels ATLANTA—(®—EBill Tompkins, 18 year old southpaw pitcher from An- chorage, Alaska, has been farmed by Atlanta to Wilson, N.C. Tompkins joined the Atlanta Southern Association club for spring training, after controversy because his high school class had not grad- uated at that time. Wilson is in the Class D Coastal Plains League.

This highest award for distiguished serv- ice to boyhood is authorized by the Executive Board of the National Council, upon recommendation of the Alaska Council. Previously only five such awards have been made in the history of Alaska scouting. Those cited for the distiguished service award were Keith M. Lesn of Anchorage, and Charles G. Bur- dick and George A. Parks of Juneau. All three men have been instru- mental during the -past five years in the bringing to Alaska of the local counci anization, and all three nave served continuously as mem- bers of the Alaska group’s executive board. Lesh is currently serving as Vice President of the Alaska Council. Hig award was presented by Judge An- thony Dimond, at a meeting of the Anchorage Rotary Club, eof whi Lesh is also Vice President. Judg Dimond complimented Lesh on his years of devoted service to the scout organization for boys, in addition to his participation in many other community activities. Burdick is Council Commi for the Boy Scouts, having s previously for three years as the first president of the organization.

[ OUT OF TWERTY | ALASKANS INFECTED | WITH TUBERCULOSIS unerce, ks | 1947 rson out of every twen'y in | erritory of Alaska is k > be infected with tubercul oresent, according to figures eased by the Territorial Depart- ient of Health. The 0 is based on an estim »opulation of 100,000 in Alaska and | ‘he known number of tuberculosis| ases—5,279, the highest number of | ases ever on record in Alaska. Between January 1 and February ! the known number of cases was | reased by 34, health department | als stated. said that the present num er of cases is particularly alarm- ng in view of the fact that more han one-half of the victims are nz at home and, since most of hem are not confined to bed, are 1ble to expose others to infection. There are only 439 hospital beds | for tuberculosis patients in Alaska. Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, commissioner | »f health, does not believe the pre- sent figure means there is neces- sarily more tuberculosis now than | sver before in the Territory. | “It is indicative of the results or; X-rays, surveys, and other exami-| nations conducted more strenuously | during the past few years in order to search out the tuberculosis,” he stated. He said it is because of the lack of facilities for hospitalizing known cases in the past “that we have such widespread tuberculosis here at pre- sent.” The number of deaths due to tu- berculosis from 1947 through 1949 is estimated at 698, but health de- | partment officials indicated that this figure is believed incomplete due to “previously incompiete re- porting of the cause of death on death certificates in the Territory and . . . the fact that all figures from Alaska’s vast outlying districts have not yet been reported for| 1949.” ‘[ The figures on tuberculosis in Alaska are from the mid-March re-| port of Dr. Grace E. Field, acting director of the Division of Com- municable and Preventable Disease Control of the department of health.
