Hollywood to give the Padres a
start on what they hope will be
their fourth straight series win.

mer months but the tire shortage
has prompted club officials to keep
the fairways open this year.

BEARS SANS ACE
POLE VAULTER IN
PC. TRACK MEET

BERKELEY, Cal, May 81 (UP)
The University of California track
and field team today prepared to
leave for the Pacific Coast con-
ference meet at Seattle minus the
services of Captain Quinn Smith.
Smith, the nations second-rank-
ing pole-vaulter. has been called to
active duty by the Army air corps.
He left today to undertake pre-
liminary flight training at one of
the west coast fields.
The loss of Smith, added to re-
cent defections in the Bear ranks
due to enlistmentS and Summer
jobs, will probably cost Coach Bru-
tlls Hamilton's squad second place
honorS in the annual meet.
However, sprinter Harold Davis
will be on hand for almost sure
first places in the 100 and 900,
while Bob BileS is a definite threat
to capture both the shot put and
jayelin.

NEW YORK, May 81 CUPJ -
This is the time of year when the
baseball experts usually bide their
time b ScGs.iIssing the relative
merits Of pair of outfielders-Joe
DiMaggio of the Yankees and Ted
Williams OF the Red Sox-in con-
nection with the American League
batting title. But today DiMag is
in the throes of a protracted bat
ting slump and long, lean Ted is
far down on the list of the leagues
leading hitters. Thus the experts
are talking now about the surprise
rivalry between Bobby Doerr of the
Red Sox and Joe Gordon of the
Yankees.
Today second baseman Doerr
leads the American League with a
batting average of .39l His per-
centage Is just one point better
than that of second Baseman Cor
don.
What makes this two-man battle
SO unusual this year is the fact
that in the past both have been
noted for their brilliance afield
rather than for their ability with
the wagon-tongue, and the unex-
pected extension of their rivalry
into the top-filght hitting depart
ment has caused a decided division
of opinion among the experts. Both
have performed SO ably about the
impossible to select THE best
keystone guardian in the major
leagues.
