Hollywood Stars
Dump Portland
To Tie for Lead
BY UNITED PRESS

The first full-week series of
Pacific Coast league play was Off
cially under way today after OPEN
ing games marked by three shut
out performances.
Young Byron Humphreys limited
the slugging Seattle Rainiers to
four hits as San Diego won on its
home field. 7 to 0.
Bill Shores and Aldon Wilkie
shared mound duty for the San
Francisco Seals, allowing Oakland
five hits as the Seals chalked up a
to victory.
The other shut-out went to Pitch
el Bonetti who made his debut with
the Los Angeles Angels by limiting
the Sacramento Solons to six we'll
scattered hits as the Angels won,
5 to 0.
In the other Coast league engage
ment, Hollywood beat Portland, 0
to S, to come up even with the
Beavers in league standings.
Three of the hits the Rainiers
collected off Humphreys were dou-
bles, but all came after two were
out and no damage resulted. The
Padres got to Veteran Hal Turpin
of a pair of runs in the second,
added single runs in the sixth and
seventh, then tackled on three in
the eighth. San Diego had nine
hits off Turpin and Webber, and
made one error. The Rainiers were
charged with two miscues.

players it Is surprising that it has
lasted so long. Certainly it won't
be with us another hundred years
unless steps are taken to reinforce
the fibre of the players.
The first step that should be
taken, perhaps, is to quit pamper-
ing the players the way they are
pampered in the major leagues. No
rare orchid, no heir to the throne,
ever was handled with such care
and solicitude as a major league
player. He is rubbed and oiled and
examined. He is baked under lamps,
and X-ray. He is put on special
diets, and given special shoes, and
braces and glasses and heaven
knows what not
And, oddly enough, the more that
is done for him, the more he is
coddled, the faster he falls apart.
In the minor leagues, where money
is scarce, and player is lucky to
get shower after finishing a game
players are healthy as mules. They
dress their own wounds, put few
steaks inside Of themselves, and re-
port for duty day after day.
1t isn't until the players get to the
majors, where the pay is better and
the conditions as refined as those
surrounding Miss Edwards school
for young ladies, that their bones
begin to snap with the rapidity of
castinets, and they require a pre-
scription for each hour of the day.
Don't get the idea that am try
ing TO be harsh with the baseball
players. I'm not. 1 have their
best interests at heart and want
them. to be hale and hearty. Be-
cause if the game keeps gaining
invalids we regular baseball writ
ers will lose our jobs. They'll go
to internes with the medical train
ing necessary to report contests
between teams composed of pa
tients.

time he has played a year or two
in the majors he will have develop
ed so many bizarre ailments that
he wouldn't be called to the colorS

trampling down the cherry trees
in Washington and making collect
long distance calls on the White

If you don't believe me, just give
yourself the sports page test by
reading of the wholesale misery
now being suffered in the baseball
training camps. Things have been
so bad this spring that fellow
hardly knows whether to read the
newspapers or the American Medi-
cal Journal for the latest news of
his diamond heroes.
Half of the photographs sent out
from Florida and California and
Texas have had hospital room
backgrounds. and players fever
charts are as well known as their
batting averages. The baseballers
have showed no favoritism in pick
ing their ailments, but have play
ed the whole field. Cracked shins
twisted muscles, vibrating vertebrae,
tortured toes, and ornery elbows all
have come in for mention. If some
thing isn't done about it soon the
Johns Hopkins staff will have to
throw out the first ball of the sea-
son, and DR.. Dafoe will be named
high commissioner.

and Bob apparently is just the man

Am here we have a quotation
from Linn Platner, matchmaker
promoter and part owner of San
Diego coliseum. Platner, who
recently had a chat with Bob
Brown, former San Diego State
athlete, said
Yes, the Hogues are fighting too
much, they are slowing down al
ready. But they want to fight so
might as well use them as any
one.
That. said Brown, should be

FL Centro's professional fight club
is again considering an opening in
the valley. Herman Graves. the
Brown Bomber who is undefeated
in professional ranks, is expected
TO top the first card. He will be
matched against hard hitting Los
Angeles boxer.
The boys along fistic row in I'm
perial Valley are again shouting
for Shorty Hogue- Bomber Graves
match in the valley. They had
them carded once when both were
amateurs, but the deal fell through.
From this corner it appears that
Graves-Hogue bout would be silly
for either fighter to consider. In
the first place both boys are on
their way up the ladder A vic
tory would do neither any good and
il might sideline the loser.
The only possible attraction to
the fighters would be an open air
bout at the ball park and each
should demand at least 25 per cent
of the gate. A large purse is the
only medicine that will heal defeat.
