Same Story: Star Games Washed Down the Drain As still one more game yesterday monotonously "went down" the La Palma park drains, word was received that Paul Pettit, 20-year-old $100,000 bonus baby of last year had been assigned by the Pirates to the Hollywood Anaheim Star camp. The youthful, much publicized southpaw pitcher, from Harbor City, Calif., has seen little major league service, despite a fantastic one-time 18 strikeout per game average compiled in high school leagues. In addition to the big left hander, two other players pitcher Harry Fisher, and outfielder Tom Saffell, also were slated to report to the Stars. Southpaw Pettit drifted from Indianapolis to New Orleans to Charleston, S. C., without much success last year. He was nursing an alling arm. Saffell hit 320 with Indianapolis last season and may plug a gap in Manager Hancy's outfield. Fisher, a right-hander, had a 6-9 record with Indianapolis last year. Both players come to Hollywood from the Pittsburghers. Meanwhile, yesterday the Star-Steagle Rainier game was called off as mid-day rain and hail again drenched the La Palma diamond. No game is scheduled for tomorrow. Next action for the Honeymen is scheduled for this Saturday at San Bernardino, when they meet the Pittsburgh Bears again. Next games for La Palma are the Angel-Star tilt on March 20 and the Pittsburgh-Star game on March 24. Oaks and Seals Take on Big Boys EMERYVILLE, Calif.—Veteran pitcher Allen Gettel leads off for the Oakland Oaks tonight against the National League Pittsburgh Pirates. Oaks Manager Mel Ott also named Lefty John Van Cuyk and free agent Ralph Buxton to chuck against the rookies loaded Bues. Pirates-boss Billy Meyers plans to use three young righthanders... The boys of McCarty's win just about pulled the upset of the season in the City League with Dave Moody and Win Copeland. They each garnered 12 points. Had Otters lost this game it would have just about ended all hopes of them to gain the finals and a chance at the play-off trophy. The game was highlighted by the terrific guarding of Rochelle Lee, who held Chuck Mitchell to a more three points. Mitchell, the last time he played in the AUHB gym scored 41 points to shatter the City League record. But, under the watchful eye of Lee, Mitchell was held to almost nothing and Lee himself scored 10 points. This spilled defeat for Copeland. Score at half time was McCarty's 27, Copeland 21.

Long Beach Relays Go Again Tomorrow Rained out a week ago, the 19th annual Long Beach Relays are on the calendar again tomorrow with an impressive lineup of track and field performers. Billed as the first major outdoor meet in the nation this spring, the entries include the NCAA championship squad from Southern California and several leading candidates for America's 1952 Olympic games team. Challenging will be a strong team from the Los Angeles Athletic club featuring discus thrower Fortune Gordien, and Hurder Craig Dixon of UCLA fame. San Francisco's Olympic club entered national AAU javelin champion Bud Held and others. Entries also were received from Arizona State at Tempe, San Jose, Fresno, Santa Barbara and San Diego State colleges. The USC team is headed by NCAA champion Jack Davis in the high hurdles, and Parry O'Brien, national AAU shotput champion. The meet is set for the Veterans Memorial stadium.

In a lift with Stanford lax Saturday, Crandall blasted two hits off Joe Osserbaugh Titie ace. For a team that ended last season in as torrial fashion as did the New York Giants, the Daruschermen are getting off an extremely slow and sluggish start this spring, daily getting their cars pinned back in exhilaration games with the Cubs and Indians.

Anhelmers Jerry Schmitz and Ron Paulkner both saw lots of action in the heartbreaking 34-8 defeat of Pepperdine by Morningside college at one NAIB journey in Kansas City earlier this week. Reports from Los Alamitos are that ex-Trujan Dich Attlesey, one of the top American hopes for a track and field first at the Olympics next summer, has returned from the East to his duty post at the Orange county naval station, and will comprise his hurdles training in Southern California. Attlesey is said to be almost completely recovered from the leg file that caused him to pass up all the big indoor meets in the East.

Carlton executed this sketch.—(Associated Press Wire Robinson Wins Over Bobo Olson Without Difficulty Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson successfully started his series of monthly title fights by decisively defeating Carl (Bobo) Olson of Honolulu last night. The tap dancing master of the 160-pound division had to travel at top speed to score a 15-round unanimous decision over his younger rival. He next defends against Rocky Graziano in Chicago April 16 and against Paddy Young in New York May 16 "if I still have the title." Robinson obviously tired after exchanging punches with the rugged 25-year-old Honolulu-born fighter, said he finished in good condition. He agreed his layoff since he regained his title from Randy Turpin of England had slowed him. Proceeds went to the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund. Robinson contributed his purse, except $1.

THE LAM with Lamhofer Big Cage Field Ready to Battle For Top Crown CHICAGO (AP)—The National Collegiate Athletic Association's basketball championship field of 16 was complete tideay with the addition of four eastern schools but one official said the selection system should be changed. The NCAA chose Penn State, Dayton, Duquesne and St. John's as large representatives. The four newcomers, plus Santa Clara and Oklahoma City—also independents and chosen at large—join 10 conference champions for tournaments leading to the national championship. Howeard Hobson, Yale basketball coach who served on the selection committee which picked the four eastern schools, said the NCAA's original plan of conducting regional playoffs should be restored. The 10 conference titleholders include Kentucky, defending champion and top-ranked team in the country in the Associated Press poll; Illinois, No. 2 in the AP poll, and UCLA. Four regional tournaments, with four teams each, will be held March 21-22. The winners qualify for the championship finals at Seattle, March 25-26. The regional schedules, with team won-lost records: At Corvallis—Santa Clara (15-9) vs UCLA (19-10), Pacific Coast Conference champion; Wyoming (29-6), Mountain States conference champion, vs Oklahoma City (17-7).

CONE BROTTE 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim You Think You Have Troubles? Just Listen to Billy Meyer of the Pirates BY GAYLE TALBOT SAN BERNARDINO (P)—Four solid years as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates have left their mark on Billy Meyer's leathern features and just about subdued what long was one of the most vital, infectious spirits in the game. Managing a tallender, with no real hope of improvement, can do that. Billy came to the Pirates in 1948 with a record of achievement as a minor league pilot. He long had been regarded as the smallest manager in the Yankee chain, and baseball medal said that the rich new owners of the Pittsburgh club were extremely fortunate to land such a ready-made genius. Billy, they said, would reward Pittsburgh's extremely loyal fans with a flag if he got any help. The first year it looked as though they had something, indeed. Filled with enthusiasm and assisted in no small measure by Ralph Kiner's bat, Meyer jumped the Pirates from a tie for seventh into a solid fourth-place finish. He was a grinning, happy figure as he trained his athletics here the following spring and parried questions as to whether he thought he was ready to grab the braces ring. And then the rooftop caved in on Billy. His infield, which had enjoyed a big season, became a sleave. As Billy grunily puts it now: "We've been giving the other side four outs ever since." The Pirates fell back to ninth, then to eighth. Last year it was over the little brats. "There's no use trying to go on with what we had," he says. "We've got nothing to lose. We might as well start again from the bottom—throw these kids in there and hope that something else will happen. Ralph (Kiner) can't win it for us, so matter how many homeruns he hits." Shortly before, the team's one great batter had opened an inning with a slashing double down the left line. The three succeeding Pirate batsmen had moved him around only to third. Ralphie, the off-season's most publicized bridegroom, bore a look of resignation as he trotted out to resume his life-fielding duties. That was what Meyer meant. "The three kids I've got out there now aren't even on our roster," Billy said. "They belong to our minor league teams. Same with these kid pitchers I'm using every day. If we're ever going to start back up the hill, they're the ones who will have to give us the shove. I've told Mr. Rickey I'm going to keep them in there as long as I possibly can—right into the season. "I'm going to tell them the jobs are theirs if they can hold them. I might as well find out right now if they're meant to play in the big leagues. I'll never find out any earlier. After all, Mickey Mantle's name wasn't on the Yanekes' roster this time a year ago."
