difference between a winning and
losing cub. Such performances can
not be foretold in advance; hence
the endless speculation which is a
part and parcel of professional base
ball.
Being just as ignorant as the base
ball writer's we are willing to take
a slight flyer on the pennant race,
and state that Hollywood looks like
the team to beat. They have the
solid club. as the saying goes, and
any major league help they get will
m Ike them that much deeper in
talent. The team that beats last
years champions will be the 1850
winner, according to our somewhat
nurky crystal ball.
As to the Rainiers, we have a
bunch that they're being moderated
this year. about as much as they
were overrated in 1949. Give them a
hard hitting outfielder or two, and
another pitching ace, such as the
return of Charley Schanz would pro-
vide, and the Rainiers will be first
division contenders.
Looking over the present roster,
there are few outstanding athletes
with the exception of pitcher Guy
Fletcher and outfielder- first base
man Frank Colman. However, the
team appears to be balanced, with

little to choose between alternate
infields and outfields, which means
good reserve strength, such as will
be needed for this years marathon
schedule of 200 games, by far the
longest in baseball.
The failure of Hills Layne and
Bill Ramsey TO perform up to their
usual standard of play last year, was
one of the chief reasons for the
Rainiers not finishing as high in
1949 as expected. Both should i'm
prove over last year, with better
physical condition and competition
as incentives. The same goes for
Al Lyons and Jackie Albright, who
were fair in 1949 but could be better
this campaign.
Summing it up, we expect the
Sick hired-hands to finish in the
middle of the pack, in fourth or
fifth place Any higher than third,
and Manager Richards will again be
hailed as a miracle man; any
lower than sixth, and the Waxaha-
chic man is likely to be granted an
interview with the owner of a Ger
tain brewery on Airport Way.
Check this if you will, next Oct
ober, when the long Coast League
season comes to an end. In the
meantime, Haney's Hollywoodians
are the team TO beat.

claims had been filed the Depart
ment of Justice estimated it would
need at least 100000 to adiudicate
those claims and begin making pay

of 1851 In the interests of economy,
however. the budget finally submit
ted to the House requested $1,000 900
for actual claims payments and
1904, 300 for administrative expenses
for the fiscal year 1851.
Now the Appropriations Commit
tee has further proposed to reduce
the Japanese Evacuation Claims
funds to $4,000,000, of which only
$250,000 may be spent for admin
strative purposes.
What this means is that the
program could drag out for Is or

perly adjudicate claims and begin
making payments.
Actually, at this time the biggest

Already the process and pay
ment of these claims has begged
down because of a lack of sufficient
administrative funds Any further
reduction would critically hamper

I'VE realize the Appropriations
Committee probably reduced the
funds -. in line with other economy
measures. Yet it must be pointed
out that in this instance neither
economy nor justice will be served
by dragging out this program over
many years. From commonsense

I'VE feel it is a matter of urgency

battle it out for a prize which only
one team can win to-wit and of
course. the 1850 pennant.
We are fully aware that the do
ings of professional baseball will be
of little significance to future his
torians of this generation. However,
as a spectator sport, pro baseball has
an appeal all its own to u.s. an appeal
compounded of its own inherent
honesty and lack of hypocrisy.
Professional baseball is a game
played by professionals. and makes
no bones about it. A player is paid
for playing, and that's that. Club
owners freely and unashamedly re-
aruit players and conduct constant
earch for new talent. Managers are
paid to win games and pennants,
and never claim to be building char
1cter.
In return for the privilege of being
paid to play, pro baseball players
are expected to give competitive
nd competent exhibition of the
national sport. By and large they do

The fans. too, get break out of
pro baseball. If they're neutral, fine;
but if they're not. their admission
ticket gives them the privilege of
,leckling the umpires and opposing
players. as long as they confine
their abuse to the verbal variety.
Professional athletes are supposed
TO be able Ito take it,; if they can't,
they don't last long in baseball.
For our money. as long as pro-
fessional baseball keeps itself honest
and above-board, it will never lose
its appeal as our greatest of all spec
tator sports.
Speaking of baseball. of course,
leads us naturally to the Seattle
Rainiers Opening as usual on the
road. the Rainiers will make their
first appearance of the home season
next Tuesday, April 4, with the OPP
position being furnished by last
years champions, the Hollywood
Stars.
Any attempt to rate the Rainiers
against their competition would be,
at this stage, a study in imponder-
ables. All we know is what we read
in the papers. and despite the reams
of copy dished out by the baseball
writer's from the training camps, We
have more than a faint suspicion
that they are just about as much
in the fog as anybody else.
The writer's are, of course, not to
be branded as ignoramuses on that
account. With so many Coast Lea
que teams dependent upon major
league help. it's extremely difficult
to get an early line on the teams
until the majors have turned over
their surplus talent In addition, the

The invalid, his neck and head
supported by a large, hard leather
brace, is able to speak only by
placing his finger to his chin, to
form words he is to use.
He earns his living by selling
leather goods and household novel
ties he makes himself. He also sells
subscriptions to most of the popul-
ar magazines.
During the past two years, Wat
son says he has travelled over
$4,000 miles. He says he enjoys
"the longe range trips, and sleep

In the war year, Watson operat-
