The game is scheduled to get underway at 3 p. m. at Timp park. BYU Baseball Coach Wayne Soffe said he probably would start either Glen Clark or George Sorenson, both lefthanders, on the mound against the Utes! If Clark opens on the mound, Lynn Powell will do the catching, and if Sorenson Sor-enson gets the starting call. Ted Thiel will do the backstoppmg The rest of the Cougar starting lineup probably wilk' find Cal Crump at first, Kenny' Leth or Paul Jones at second, Don Bu-shore Bu-shore at short, Alden Aplanalp at third, Lyle Koller in left, Dave Weiser in center, -and either Russ Hillman or Thiel in right. If Thiel, a long-ball hitter, doesn't do the receiving, Soffe in dicated that he will get the call to rightfield. If "Thumpin' Ted" does the catching, then Hillman vill play in right. The Cougars defending western division champions, have shown real hitting strength and if their pitching and catching hold up, they should be pretty rugged. They have a questio'n mark at third base, but Soffe is hopeful that either .Aplanalp or Chuck Craven will come through. Play Again Saturday The Cougar baseballers will travel to Salt Lake City Saturday for another game with the Utes, starting at 3 p. m. at Derks Field.

United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, April 14 (U.R) The Boston Braves' pennant stock was on the skids today as Bill (The Kid) Southworth became "Billy the goat." , Where there's smoke there's fire, to coin an expression, and it was becoming increasingly evident despite heated denials that Southworth had w hat amounted to an open mutiny on his hands. a Billy became downright cantankerous can-tankerous yesterday when questioned ques-tioned about reports that the club had refused him a "vote of confidence." "This thing has gone far enough," he shouted, as he slammed the telephone back on the hook. He probably could have added that it has gone too far. The story is thart he Braves' players play-ers are dissatisfied because Southworth . took most of the glory for last year's pennant triumph and that the retrenching retrench-ing Boston management used this excuse to keep down salary demands. It very possibly might go beyond be-yond that. Southworth is. and always has been, a hard driver. If brutally hard work will get blood out of a stone, Billy will, get talent out of a ball player. When he took over the Braves three years ago, his spring training train-ing (camp at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was one of the most rigorously rigor-ously organized training sites ever seen in baseball. Everything Every-thing went by schedule. At 9 a. m. you were batting and at 9:30 you were in the sliding pits. That didn't mean 9:32 that ment 9:30. And woe to the luckless luck-less character who didn't adhere to the schedule. Players were not permitted to dally in any way. If you were a newspaperman intent on interviewing inter-viewing a player, you asked Southworth's permission. And he sat in on the conversation to steer the answers if necessary. For three years he has been a martinet. That apparently is one of the major difficulties.

ADril 14 (U.R) The San Diego Padres won their baseball game the easy way last nigRi, Dut tney, were the only Pacific coast league team that could do it. All the Padres had to do was let Max West go to bat in the first inning and they had the game sewed up..

BALTIMORE, Md., April 14 (U.R) Joe DiMaggio was scheduled o leave the hospital today, but dcotors refused to say when if ever he'll go back to baseball. When the Yankee slugger with the ailing heel packs his grip and walks out of Johns Hopinks hospital, hos-pital, he'll assume the status of an "out-patient," coming back regularly for treatments in the battle to save his baseball career. Just how often those treatments will be or, more important, how long they'll last the doctors aren't saying. All that Dr. Edwin L. Crosby, director of Johns Hopkins, would i say was that "he will receive the usual treatment for the condition, condi-tion, which js seen in many parts of the body."
