• Page 4 PORTLAND CHALLENGER Friday, May 16, 1952 Barnes Makes Record .Jump Challenger's Corner By Lonnie Harris, Sports Editor The Portland Beavers have acquired Roy Welmaker, famous San Diego and Hollywood pitcher. He was released by Hollywood with a record of no wins and two losses. Bob Boyd, the hustling first baseman for Sacramento last year and now with the Seattle Rainiers, has been out of action with leg trouble. Junior Gilliam, prize second baseman of the Montreal Royals, has hit safely in the first 15 games of the International league season. He is batiing a rousing .379. Along with Pendleton, Gil– liam helps make up Montreal's fine double-play combination. Shortstopping Pendleton is hitting .365. Dave Hoskins, pitching for the Dallas Eagles of the Texas league, has compiled a 4-1 record to date. In his first 27 innings, Hoskins has allowed 4 runs scored. He is also an exceptionally good hitter for a pitcher. He has been called on to pinch-hit in several games for the Eagles. Luis Marquez, former Portland Beavers and Boston Braves out– fielder, along with Burton, continues to pace the Milwaukee Brewers in the A.A. Buzz Clarkson was called by their parent club, the Bos– ton Braves. He is a good hitter and plays a lot of shortstop but has two strikes against him and that being his age. Larry Doby has a brace designed for his leg. The brace fits tight– ly around the thighs and is held in place by a belt. This is to prevent Doby from being sidelined again with a pulled muscle. It seems that Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox has Luke Easter's number, Easter faced Pierce 16 times in 1950 and failed to get a bingle. On April 25, hitting against Pierce, he also failed to get a hit. Easter was sidelined with a pulled muscle in the last game with the New York Yankees. Cleveland won this game 12-5. Harry Simpson played first base for the Indians in place of the injured Easter. Simpson hit a 440 foot home run in– side the park to left-center field. • Minnie Minoso, who plays winter league ball, was told to quit playing ball around the first of the year. The White Sox's general manager, Frank Lane, complains that it is too much for a player. Minoso is currently hitting below his batting par. Incidentally, the Cuban flash is in the current issue of Look magazine. Coast league fans will remember Minoso as the dashing utility man of the San Diego Padres who twice reported to the Cleveland Indians. The St. Louis Browns has sent two players to a club in Japan on loan. They are John Britton, a third baseman, and James Newberry, a right-hand pitcher. They report to the Hank– yu Braves of the Japanese Pacific league, 300 miles from Tokyo. Abe Sapexstein, owner-coach of the famed Harlem Globetrotters, made the arrangements. Newberry trained at the Browns' camp in Georgia. Britton played with the Giants at Miami, Birmingham Black Barons and in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Walter O'Malley, the Dodger boss, says that he would rather have Roy Campanella than any other catcher in the majors, includ– ing the Yanks' Yogi Berra, even if he does have a chip in his elbow. He rates Campanella the best catcher in baseball today. (Who can argue that point?) Sam Jethroe finally broke his hitless spree at 14 with a single against Robin Roberts of the Phillies April 26. In his last appearance in the same game he connected for another sjngle. Jackie Robinson continues to set the pace for each league with a .4:!3 average. Chuck Dressen considers Robbie the greatest two-bagger in the majors. Robinson's old nemisis, Frank Dascoli, has again singled him out among Dodger players as one that used profane language. This latest taunt at Robinson came following the banishment of pitcher Chris Van Cuyk by Dascoli in Cin– cinnati. A warning in :the form of a letter said thai :the National league's president, .Warren Giles, heard vile language from the Dodger bench personally and iha:t Jackie Robinson was the worst offender. Robinson has. reportedly told Giles that he never used profane language. Funny that this same umpire, Dascoli, seems to single Robinson out as a bad one every time there is a "Dodger incident." Could it be that the hustling Robinson is too much for this guy to take? Sports Brief~·: The Florida league has erased its ban on Negro players ...

Williams TU 4666 Prediction Magazine :Gives Olympic Victors Leop Sets New For Bell Oval Murk Truck The July edition of See maga- An ex-Jefferson high j~mper, Emery Barnes, leaped a zine will predict Olympic win- mighty 6 feet, 8 inches Saturday in Corvallis to set a new Ore- ners for this summer's interna– tional track affair in Helsinki, F'~nlaQd. See thinks Northwestern's new gon-Oregon State high jump record on Bell field's oval. Barnes' jump was by far the best of his track career. THE old record of 6 feet 5 3/8 inches was set in 1940 by sensation and national champion, State's Ed Woodcock. Jim Golliday, Andy Sanfield and Art Bragg sure-fire triumphs in the 100 and 200 meters. Says See: "George Rhoden seems a certainty at 400 meters, I with Herb McKinley challenging ' strong. At 800 meters Olympic champion Mal Whitfield could repeat." The magazine sees a poss'ible victor for Arizona State's Bill Miller in the javelin. Last year he threw 233 feet, 10% inches. 'Cook Co:mel' Top Point Producer Lewis and Clark's comet, Cal– ey Cook, ran away with individ– ual scoring honors Saturday in 1 track meet with Willamette un– iversity. The dashing Cook scoot– ed his way to 18 points only to have his school come secc:1d to the powerful Bearcat squad, 69lfz to 61%. Cook took firsts in the century, low hurdles and broad jump. He was second in the high hurdles. IN his romp over the low hur– dles, Cook set a new meet record in :24.6. In local prep circles, Lincoln's Ernie Warren qualified in three events in his quest for Cardinal honors in the state track meet. The versatile Warren took the high hurdles, managed a first place tie with Roosevelt's Lyle Wagoner in the pole vault and finished second in the low hurd– les. LAST year he set a city prep record of :15 flat in the lows and was instrumental in guiding Lin– coln to a track toga that year. This year's ,state meet will be held at Bell field in Corvallis.
