I There Could Certainly Be Worse Occurences Than A Blackout In A Ball Park LOS ANGELES, March During the coming Pacific Coast baseball season (here may be the novelty of blackouts, although the chances seem rather remote. Dread of blaekouts mystifies Harry A. Williams, secretary of the league, who is something of a veteran in such matters. Personally, I get a real kick out of them. says Williams.

They sort of remind me of hailovvcen. I was in Taris and London several weeks during the last war when both of those cities W'ere mantled in a perpetual blackout just plain black. People took them in stride, and everybody felt great. Things seemed more restful, and your vision apparently improved. I could have walked a backyard fence like a rat so sure-footed did I become.

Of course, there were periods of exeitement. One night I was in Paris when 65 planes bombed the eity for almost three hours. Most of us stood nut on the sidewalk watching the fireworks. It was a great show, one wlilrh American cities probably never will witness. It seems to me that in case of a blackout, which is nn-likeiy, people would be much happier at the basehall park than they would huddled at home in tlieir darkened domiciles.

At the ball park they Would have plenty of company. I would suggest in the event of a blackout during a game that they start playing records over the public address system, and the crowd could join in community singing. Singing soothes the nerves, and while something of an outlet and a sedative, also inspires and exalts. Cut lose with a few good old spirituals, so to speak. Morale is simply an uplift in spirit.

And to complete the picture we could have some blackface artists do their stuff at the home plate during a blackout, by these means lvc could make blaekouts a 'eal pleasure, and in that way stimulate the morale of the people. Nobody can tell me that the American public is gutless. Those boys at the fighting front do not come from that kind of slock. Early in the war a certain percentage of the people let their imaginations run wild. During those terrible days and nights of last year the people of London did not cower and become cravens.

They pursued their pleasure insofar as possible. That fact is important only as it reflected the attitude and spirit of a people who would not be beaten even in the face of seemingly insuperable odds. America will never be subjected to such an ordeal, but Americans have no less of that spirit and attitude. You dont win wars by getting scared. Fear is the ultimate in futility.

(U.R) Sammy Byrd, of Ardmore, baseball outfielder turned pro golfer, won the Greater Greensboro Open tournament today with a five-under-par total of 279 for his four rounds. He shot 69-67-75-68. Misses Record Byrds 279 was nine strokes over Ben Hogan's record 270 of two years ago. On the last 18 holes, Byrd settled down, after carding a 75 on the 18 holes played in the morning round, and sank 12-foot putts on holes number one, 10 and 12. Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum divided second and third money with 281s.

Clayton Heafner and Byron Nelson split fourth and fifth money with twin 282's. Bad Break The heartbreak of the day came to Nelson on the 17th coming in with a chance for a tie for first place. His tee shot hit a spectator and rolled down the hill into an unplayable lie in a creek. Nelson was so disgusted that he was short on his chip and took six on the hole. Heafner missed an 18-ineh putt on the last hole of the tournament to miss a tie for second place and drop into a tie with Nelson.

The putting was poor all day and some pros blamed the humpy greens, but others said conditions were perfect. Lawson Little posted a 283, and Sam Snead had a one-over-par 285.

To Better '41 Loop Position Analyst Sees Movo Up From Fourth By PAUL SCHEEFELS NEW YORK, March 29. (U.R) Tha four-man deal Manager Frankia Frisch engineered with the Erook lyn Dodgers last December turned out to be one of the best trades in Pittsburgh history and the Pirate today shape up impressively enough to better their fourth-place finish of the last three years. Three Problems When spring training began. Pittsburgh had three definite problems third base, shortstop and right field and the acquisition of Pete Cocarart, Jimmy Wasdcll, Luke Hamlin and Baba Phelps from the Dodgers in exchange for Shortstop Arky Vaughan has presented Friscl with a solution at two spots. Coscarart's fielding has turned out to be sure-fire.

He hounds the ball in the manner of nimblefooted Tommy Thevenow, fits well into the shortstop berth and at the moment leads the club in batting with an average well over .300. Has Won His Spot Wasdoil has already won his spot in right field. He is fleet, generally hits around .300 and has a good arm. His only apparent weakness is on ground balls and Frisch has been grooming him daily to correct that. His only rival is Rookie Johnny Barrett, another lefthander who can hit well ana fast time on the bases.

Hamlin will take his regular turn on the mound at the worst, every five days, while Phelps will serve as No. 1 pinch hitter and relief fnr A1 Lopez. Sinee Lope gets hurt often, Phelps will see lots of action. The other problem third base was solved by the conversion of Outfielder Bob Elliott, who seems to fill tho bill. He has a larga pair of hands, is 'fast and gets tne ball away well.

Lee Handley, regular third sackcr, came up with a lame shoulder this spring as a result of an auto accident and although coming around he has not played yet. niching Top-Notch The pitching looks top-notch. Veterans who will do the bulk of the work are Rip Sewell, Max Butcher, Johnny Lanning, Ken Heintzclman and Lloyd Dietz. Dietz came along fast near the end of last season and Frisch likes his chances. Aldon Wilkie, another sophomore, also looks good.

Bob Klinger will be the relief man. Bill Baker will be the third-string catcher and help make the best staff in the league with Lope and Thelps. A rookie from the Cardinal system, Johnny Wyros-tek from New Orleans, has won the left field job away from Maurice Van Robays at the moment. He is fast, ran throw and field well and hits to all field. Vince Di Maggio.

one of the best defensive centcrfielders tn th game, will be back at his regular post and Wnsdell will be in right. The extra outfielder prohlem wilt he taken care of by Van Robays and either Barrett. Culley Rikard from Memphis, or Eddie Stewart All are left-handers. Infirld Bet The Infield Is set with Elbie Flelchcr at first. Gustinc on second, Cnscnrart ot short and Elliott at third.

Alf Anderson, Handley and Stu Martin will furnish the utility help. If lhe Army makes no more Inroads the Tlrates lost Shortstop Bill Cox.

One of the nicest guys in baseball measured by any standard, the new manager of the New York Giunts is having his Doubles, and his troubles are the troubles of many baseball fans in New York and elsewhere around the National League circuit.

That was the experience of Charley Graham, president of the Kail Francisco Club, when he broke In with the Boston Red Sox in 1906. That would he something io give a youngster stage fright. But Charley says he wasnt bothered even a little bit.

The game was played In New York with Graham, rookie, catching the veteran Cy Young. Charley says Cy was easy lo catch, thanks to control In 1936, Portland didn't win a game in spring training, yet copped the pennant and the playoff.

The worst part about this situation, according to tho wttr rorrespoRoals on the B'lorida front, is that tho Giants are tied in knots trying, In other words they are pressing so hard ihkt they ratit win, according to that version. Another one might be that the Giants simply haven't gut a ball team and that Ott must go down with It, nil the way.

It may be that he is destined to bo one of those managers who was given a bunch of trailers to contend with and hi career end wath theirs. POOR ADMINISTRATION Ott Is mfinager of the team that lias more prcstlgo with the old-timers ihan any team in the game.
