PAGE EIGHT. JANESVILLE DAILY MARCH 19, 1949. JANESVTLLE, WIS. Johnson Creek Joins Central Baseball Loop to Get Set for 34th Campaign at Meeting Monday Rumor has it that Johnson Creek will be voted into the Central Wisconsin Baseball league at the business session to follow the annual dinner in The Spot at Jefferson Monday night. The banquet is at 7:30 and the spring meeting is to begin at 9 p.

m. A highlight of the gathering will be the showing of the 1948 world series movies. Floyd Pake, Janesville, is president of the league that is preparing for its 34th consecutive season, makinc it the oldest semi-pro baseball circuit in Wisconsin. Ed Blank, Jefferson, in whose place the banquet and meeting will be held, is the secretary-treasurer. Johnson Creek will take over the Northern division franchise formerly held by Columbus.

Holdover members of the Northern tier are Cambridge, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Lake Mills, Marshall, Newville, Waterloo, Watertown Goslings and Watertown Hiawathas. The 10 teams in the Southern division are Beloit, Burlington, Delavan, Edgerton, Elkhorn, Milton-Milton Junction, Janesville Swenson Bruins, Sharon, Walworth and Whitewater. The addition of Johnson Creek will greatly strengthen the Northern division as Creek teams in recent years have been among the best in the semi-pro fjeld. At least throe changes in team managers are expected to be announced in the Northern branch. Jefferson is said to have "talked" Bill Richards out of retirement and the Central league's "Old Fox" again will handle the Merchants.

Carroll Barker is slated to take over the helm at Lake Mills, succeeding Art Hamann, who managed the Grays to the pennant in 1948. The Watertown Hiawathas have had a new pilot each year for the last three and it is reported that they'll have a new one in 1949. Beloit, the 1948 Southern champ, may have a new skipper as Les Gaserude plans to devote more time to his business interests. Russ Hoagland, who formerly played at Sharon and now lives in Beloit, may take over for Gaserude. Jack Davis is in line for the managerial job at Delavan, succeeding Ray Knilans.

Davis is a veteran baseball man. Knilans is resigning to become an umpire. Henry Hartzell has informed the Edgerton club that he'll continue to play, but that he doesn't want to manage the team. Ken Oberbruner, athletic director at Milton college, is slated to become tiie player-manager of the Milton-Milton Junction team. Giants in Form; Pitchers Yield Nine Runs Per Game ASSOCIATED It looks as though the New York Bullpen will be just as active this coming seasorf as in the past.

Giant pitchers have yielded 67 runs in seven exhibition games so far, an average of 9.57 per game. They took their worst beating Friday, 2213, at the hands of the Chicago White Sox. Lineup juggling, so common in Brooklyn Dodger games the past few years, was back in fashion In an intrasquad game Friday. Manager Bert Shotton moved Pta-st Baseman Gil Hodges to third; Second Baseman Jackie Robinson to first; Shortstop Pee iWee Reese to second and Third Baseman Billy Cox to short. Shotton explained: "If I ever ask them to play those positions they ivon't be able to say, 'Sorry, I never played there Grady Hatton, Cincinnati third baseman, is knocking himself out of Manager Bucky Walters' doghouse.

After riding the bench during early games, Hatton has been hitting at a merry clip, his two-run homer Fridav gave the Reds a 9-8 win over tfie Philadelphia Phils. Although the New York Yankees blanked the Boston Red Sox, 50, Friday, Manager Casey Stengel of the Yanks says the Red Sox are the best team he has seen thus far this year. Getting midseason hurling Friday for the third day in a row, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Braves, 2-1, on Stan Musial's inside the park home run, the Red Birds first four- bagger of the season. The Cleveland Indians posted their fifth victory in seven starts Friday when they pasted the Chicago Cubs, 10-3.

Dick Weik, wildman of the Washington Senators' pitching staff, has walked but two men in six innings. Rookie Johnny Groth of the Detroit Tigers, who is out with a sprained thumb, has thumped the ball for a .381 average in five games. Emil Verban, Cub second baseman who was a teammate of Mort Cijoper at St. Louis, says the big right hander is showing flashes of the stuff that made him a 20 -game winner. He has not gained his needle-point control but a few more workouts should bring that back, Verban claims.

In exhibition games played by the Phillies. Gran Hanner has hit .406, getting 13 bin- gles in 32 tries. Edgerton Takes Volleyball Title two games out of three from Wisconsin High of Madison in the deciding match, Coach Ted Downs' Edgerton high school volleyball team won the of the Southern Teh conference's Southern section in the tournament held in the high school gymnasium Friday afternoon.

Stoughton's only victory was over Fort Atkinson, 15-1 and 15-11. Dick Cashore, Ed Steindl and Jerry McGlnnity did some fine work In setting up plays, for Edgerton's well-balanced club while Roger Robson was the team's best spiker. Hanson was an outstanding spiker for Wisconsin High. Only players who did not receive a major basketball emblem were eligible for competition in the tourney.

Oma Is Candidate for Louis' Crown New Oma, the clowning sometimerMilwaukee battler, says "count me in" in the heavyweight picture. The 33 -year old heavy, who has kicked opportunity in the face time after time in an erratic 10 -year career, toyed with one Omelio Agramonte Friday night in Madison Square Garden. By copping the unanimous decision after being floored for nine in the first round, Oma stretched his victory string to six in his latest comeback campaign, "Look, I can lick Joe Maxim and Maxim gave Ezzard Charles a close fight," Oma said. "I can beat any of those guys who want to be champion, and, you know, I might be champion at that," photos FIFTH GRADE CHAMPS AND RUNNEBS-UP Notre Dame of Wilson (left) won the fifth grade basketball championship, beating Roosevelt Rockets (right), 22-20, in the deciding game of the recreation department tournament.

Paul Bellman got up the party and acted as master of ceremonies.

Leo Ties assisted in arrangements, and the work, preparing a tasty lunch, was done by a heavyweight, Heinle Kueck.

Darwin Dade, local right handed pitcher, is going to make his third bid in organized baseball. He again is going to the training camp of the Janesville Cubs. And don't be surprised if he makes the grade this time. "Hash" always has thought that Dade has enough pitching skill to be in organized ball. However, he never really got a good chance.

His best pitch, and he was a sen.sa- tion with it in local boys' leagues before entering service, is an underhand or submarine. His submarine serving, on which he has much speed, takes a natural dip. It is a most unorthodox serving and keeps batters plenty loose. Right handed batters don't take a good foothold with 'the fast in- drop cutting the inside corner. The two years that Dade went to camp with the Cubs.

1947 and 1948, coaches and Scouts of the Chicago Cubs changed his delivery to overhand. He never had too good control over-hand and his best pitches didn't have much stuff. He's to sign a Janesville contract with the understanding that he pitch underhand or side-arm. Baseball men claim underhand and side-arm pitches are too difficult to control. They do admit that, when controlled, both styles 'are very effective.

As a matter of record, one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Walter Johnson, threw side-arm, almost under-hand. Milton (Tub) Terrill. one of a long line of outstanding foot- hall centers at Janosvillc hiffh has had a big week in bowling, the only sport in which he now participates. He has had three honor counts in league competition this 607 in the Major on Monda.v, 607 In the City Retail on Wednesday and 606 in the Industrial Commercial on Tliursda.v.

Purdue, without a player over six feet tall, won the 1933 Western confei -ence title and established a scoring record of 512 point.s that stood for Ashland Area Deer Starving Whiffen, chairman of the congress' deer committee, said Sunday night Ashland and Bayfield county sportsmen "have changed their minds on the deer problem," Whiffen said a meeting of 100 voted, 2-1, to support a threc-yoar plan of controlled hunting in their area. The vote came after a number of the sportsmen accompanied the deer committee on a tour of the FJagg deer yards. Whiffen said dead and dying deer were picked up at random in the Flagg yard and that a number of the group's members were able to run down weakened deer and catch them with their hands for examination.

No Trace of Food He said an estimated 1,600 to 2,000 deer are. wintering in the yard, and that all of the dead and weak deer foimd were victims of malnutrition. The group found no trace of any available food and, Whiffen said, the deer are so bad off in the yards that they are chewing the bark from trees. He said forest rangers showed the group records of having poured worth of slate feed into the yard during January and February and told the group 810,000 would have been required to do the job right. The Flagg yard is one of 36 being fed in Douglas and Bavfiold counties.

Whiffen quoted Fred Fromholz of Ashland, whom he described as a conservative leader for 50 years, as saying: "I 've lived here all my life and never saw anything like this. I'm convinced we need an any- deer season. The boys will probably scalp me for this." Damage Apple Orchard The deer committee chairman said Froniholz lormerl.y had been a strong opponent of an any- deer season. He added that similar opinions were expressed by several other members of the group. Whiffen said "ruinous damage" to apple orchards in parts of Bayfield county was found.

The Carl Erickson orchard near Herbster, he said, showed that 100 per cent of the trees are badly damaged. Other damage was found in the Dausen-Hauser orchard near Bayfield, Whiffen said. The committee is touring southern Ashland and Iron counties today and will hold a meeting at Mercer tonight. The group's nine-day tour of the state's winter deer yards will end Sunday noon.
