BEAVERS
LEADING
NOW, PEL
By Associated Press
Portland’s bumptious Beavers —
displaying all-around balance they
didn’t suspect they had — are rat
tling a full two games ahead of the
Pacific Coast League pack.
Last night they combined timely
homers by Eddie Basinski, the fid
dler who has suddenly developed a
bass viol punch, and Brooks Holder,
with expert relief pitching by Jack
Creel. The result: Second-place San
Diego was beaten, 4-2.
San Francisco, coming back off
the basement floor, swept its three
game series with Oakland with a
4-3 victory. Manager Joe Gordon’s
homer gave Sacramento a 5-4 win
over Seattle, and Los Angeles’ Fred
Bazewski edged Hollywood’s Vic
Lombardi in a 1-0 southpaw duel.
Holder’s two-run smash and Ba
• sinski’s loner saddled San Diego’s
Bed Embree with a loss within three
innings.
San Francisco made it foyr
'straight after their disastrous 13
game losing streak by getting to
Wes Bailey for three runs in the
fourth and a deciding fourth tally
in the eighth.
Gordon’s game-winning blast
came in the ninth and gave Sacra
mento’s Glenn Elliott a victory over
Seattle's Jim Davis. Herm Reich’s
circuit smash had tied the score
for the Sacs, who earlier had ruped
i a 3-0 lead on Jim Tabor’s bases
loaded triple. The Rainiers wiped
this out with four runs in the third,
with A1 Lyons’ triple the. biggest
blow.
Baczewski (pronunced Buh-Jeski)
is a $10,000 bonus boy and he looked
like the real goods with a four
hitter against Hollywood.

GIRL BASEBALLER
IS NOW LEADOFF
PORTLAND, Ore., April 13 —l/W—
One of the leadoff men in a base
ball game here today between Van
port College and Clark Junior Col
lege won’t be a man at all.
He, or rather she, will be Margaret
Dobson, 19-year-old Vanport co-ed.
She will be at third base when the
umpire hollers “Play Ball.”
Vanport’s coach, Arba Ager, says
the girl has real talent. She is a
, right-handed batter and thrower
and was the leading batter in last
year's world’s amateur women’s
fastball tournament at San Antonio,
Tex. Her .615 average earned her a
berth on the all-American team
for the second year in a row.

BIG LEAGUES
VERY SHORT
OF PITCHERS
By Associated Press
It’s an old tune, but as long as
there's baseball, major league man
agers will sing it. It's a short one
and goes like this:
"Give me another pitcher.”
With the official opening of thr
majors only three days away, mos
managers were making eleventl
hour efforts today to bolster theii
mound staffs — with the possiblf
exception of the Boston Red So>
and the New York Giants. Botl
Steve O'Neill, Sox skipper, and Let
Durocher of the Giants, can sit back
and watch the scramble.
The Sox and the Giants are twe
of the favorites to take the Amer
ican and National league flags. Bui,
how about their main rivals?
In the American, the defending
champion New York Yankees arc
worried, indeed, what with Allic
Reynolds on the sidelines.
The Cleveland Indians? A goot
tipoff on what the tribe thinks ol
its hurling depth can be found in
yesterday’s box score. Johnny (re
member his twe straight no-hitters
12 years ago?) Vandermeer hooked
on with the Indians on a trial basis
last week.
He got into one inning against
the New York Giants at Winston
Salem, N. C., yesterday and was
pounded for seven hits and five
runs.
In the National League, if any
one is going to beat out the Giants
say the experts, it will be the Brook
lyn Dodgers. Brook President Walter
O’Malley said only yesterday that
“Cincinnati, Boston and St. Louis
have pitchers we could use."
Howie Pollet of the Redbirds is
| the boy O’Malley would like to see
in a Brooklyn uniform.
And so it goes right down to the
potential second division clubs . . .
Give them another pitcher and they
might be a threat.
They might, at that.
