 OAKLAND
Sacs and San Diego Tied in First Rung Position
 at .7oO
(By Assc ciated Pressl

Seattle's Indian tribe yesterday quelled an Oakland rally in the ninth frame to win by four to three The "Rajniers," as Seattle is now termed, knocked Acorn Turbcville out of the box in the third inninq. made three runs on three hits and an error, and scored the winning run in the fifth on Gabrielson's double and Lawrence's single.
 Oakland's smallest opening crowd in years turned out, only 1400 per- sons being seated in the grand stands.
 San Diego trimmed visiting Los Angeles, six to five with two-run rally in the eighth inning The Pa dres banged out 17 hits and the Ser aphs 13
 San Francisco lost at Hollywood four to three when Hollywood pounded Mann and Ballou for four runs in the seventh

Fette also feels he'll have to have luck to win 20 games-any pitcher does, but he is just as cer- tain as Turner that he'll win plenty of games for Quinn and Skipper Casey Stengel.
 Niggeling labored for Kansas City and Newark last season and, al- though his record wasn't so good, Quinn thought he saw something and was willing to take chance. Shoffner came up from Sranton late last year and won three games.
 Gabler, obtained from the Giants last year, has really been the stand out of the spring season, showing more stuff than any of the others. And Quinn figures that a fellow with a sporting hero's name like Richard Merriwell can't miss. Erickson won IA games for Scranton last year.
 Quinn'S Old Folks Home team finished last in 1887 and Quinn and Stengel nod their heads in unison and say it'll be the first division for the Bees come September.

Old Men Are Wise

It's too soon to tell, but, if ap- pearances mean anything, Turner and Fette are going to be top notch pitchers again this year And Quinn has gambled on another pair of old-timers to go along with them John Niggeling and Mil burn Shoffner. And there's Frank Gabler and Danny MacFayden and Richard Merriwell Erickson. These Bees may turn out to pcs- 5ess the best pitching corps in the loop.
 These greybeards have cunning and control as well as curves But they're on the other side of 30, the danger mark in baseball Turner and Fette are approaching 32 Danny is almost 32 Niggeling and Shoffner are nearly B.
 I'm ready for another good year" Turner said. I've kept irl shape during the winter riding a milk truck My arm feels fine l was surprised at winning 20 games last season but I knew I was ready for the majors. The breaks will have to come my way for me to win 20 again, but, anyway, I'll win my share of games.
 Tn. his rookie season Turner was the National leagues outstanding pitcher more effective than Hub bell or Dean or Mungo or Warneke or Grissom. He had an earned-run average of 238 per Shining game. And he credits an accident with furnishing him with a climactic minor league season that caught Quinn's eye.
 "A batted ball struck my right hand breaking the second finger, '' he explained. "A lump developed over that broken joint but the fin ger didn't hurt and so I didn't have it reset. And ever since then I've had better curve ball.
 I've been able to get better grip on the ball and I developed a real hook I used to have to rely on the hard one and the smart boys would lay back and wait for it, but now when they're looking for the fast one can slip 'em the hooker"

Turner, Fette May Repeat Quinn Recruits Other
 Old Men in Lineup
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

BRADENTON, Fla, Aprll 6-Bos- tons bargain-counter grey boards, Jim Turner and Lou Fette, appear ready to reward old Bob Quinn again this season for lifting them out of the obscurity of the minor leagues.
 These twin sensations of the Ma tional league, who spent a lifetime in the mnors before their chances came, were the rookie aces of last year -20-game winners each.
 plll Terry and Frankie Frisch and Charley Grimm. pilots with real money on hand to buy win ming pitchers, were astonished last year at Quinn's success in picking up this pair and being so hand somely rewarded But maybe they were one-season flashes; perhaps they'd lost too much sap from their pitching arms in the drudgely oi the minors.

Maryland into zone large confer
ence," stating that dismemberment
of the Wilmington conference sis
inevitable as the constitution now
stands" DIR. Hallman added that
it would give this division only a
very weak voice in the general
council meetings of the church,:
and because of geographical small
ness, would have "only a very linn
tied number of larger salaries as
a drawing power to attract young
men to our ranks. The only logic
al way out is for us to seek a part
of Maryland we never yet have
had, or to seek to have all of
Maryland and Delaware into one
large conference, most desirable
move. This would be a natural and
effective method of solving more
than the limited territory prob
lem," DR.. Hallrnan said. Give us
a larger appointment field. Bal
the submarginal salaries by
the large churches in Washington,
Baltimore, and Wilmington, then
our voice would be heard in any
council meeting and our attractive
set-up would give us the pick of
the graduates, thus increasing the
opportunity and efficiency of our
working force"
