ROSE BOWL
QUESTION
UP AGAIN
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25 — fft —
Pasadena's Tournament of Rose
Association may seek the support
of the Deep South if the Pacific
Coast Conference votes next month
to abandon its tieup with the Rose
Bowl football game.
Paul Zimmerman, sports editor
of the Los Angeles Times, said to
day that he has learned from "most
responsible sources” that there is a
grave danger that the PCC will
quit the New Year’s classic.
He said four northwest member
of the conference — Idaho, Wash
ington State, Oregon and Oregon
State — were in favor of junking
the Rose Bowl pact at a PCC
meeting in Riverside, Calif., earlier
this month California, too, is “cold”
on the game, Zimmerman added,
and UCLA and Stanford are likely
to support Cal. Washington, he
said his sources inform him, may
support the California schools
Southern California favors contin
ued support of the Rose Bowl.
Rube Samuelson, sports editor oi
the Pasadena StarNews, said the
tournament committee is “most op
timistic that it will continue in
partnership with the Pacific Coast
Conference.”
He added that the committee has
explored the consequences of the
PCC withdrawal, that it sent emis
saries to the NCAA meeting in Dal
las, sounded out representatives of
various southern schools and re
ceived ample assurance that they
are interested, as always, in the
Rose Bowl game.
Purely Speculation
SEATTLE, Jan. 25 — iff! — Last
year’s president of the Pacific Coast
Conference says a report that the
conference may abandon Rose Bow
commitments is “purely specula
tion.”
H. P. Everest, University of Wash
ington faculty representative, says
the matter is still under considera
tion and will be discussed again at
a meeting in February.
The report the Coast Conference
may abandon Rose Bowl commit
ments was published by the Los
Angeles Times.
Orlando J. Hollis of the Univers
ity of Oregon succeeded Everest a
president of the conference th:
year.
BASEBALL
MANAGERS
WORRIED
CINCINNATI, Jan. 25 — UPI -
Commissioner A.B.(Happy) Chand
ler’s quiet pledge that baseball
“would do anything the government
asks it to do” broke -sharply last
night into a furor over the sug
gested drafting of athletes.
Chandler’s remark at his annual
dinner for newsmen was a repeat
of what he has doggedly emphasized
before — that the national game
is at the government’s command
and is willing to do anything the
government calls upon it to do.
The commissioner, who termed
baseball “the cleanest sport in the
world ” noted that the game with
stood the problems of World War II
and said that he believed it would
also come through the present na
tional emergency. He admitted that
baseball “might be facing quite a
prob’em,” however.
Chandler’s declaration came even
as major league club owners were
thumbing worriedly tnrough (heir
rosters to see which of their players
may have to go into service. Their
fretting stems from the statement
by Secretary of Defense George
Marshall that 4-F athletes may be
taken into the Armed Forces for
non-combat duty.
Most major leaguers are home
free as far as service is concerned,
unless the government boosts the
draft age and also starts to gather
in married men and veterans.
Only about 40 per cent of the
Big Time players are in the 19-to-25
draft age class. Most of them have
already seen military service and
a huge majority are married.

Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 25 — (41 —
Wes Fesler, who only six W'eeks ago
■aid he was finished with big time
football, today is football coach at
Minnesota.
The man who quit as coach at
Ohio State last month summed it
all up with one sentence: “You can’t
take 19 years of experience and
what-not and throw them out the
window.”
Fesler’s unexpected appointment
as Gopher coach rocked Big Ten
followers with surprise. He was of
fered and accepted a three-year
contract at the annual salary of
$14,000, $1,500 more than received
by Bernie Bierman, the man he
succeeds.
Fesler resigned as head coach at
Ohio State Dec. 9. He said his
health couldn’t stand the strain of
trying to win every game. His tea’m
had won six Western Conference
games and lost three. He took a
high salaried job as a real estate
salesman for John W. Galbreath in
Columbus. Galbreath has been Ohio
State’s No. 1 talent angel.
The appointment was as much a
surprise in Minneapolis as Fesler’s
intentions were a secret in Colum
bus. His name had not figured in
the speculation over Bierman's suc
cessor though many coaches were
interviewed and many names were
brought forward.
Kirby, Skater by Order,
Stilt Partner ef Henie
Iff) News Features
NEW YORK.—Handsome Michael
Kirby, the figure skater who stole
the show' when he made his pro
fessional debut here seven years ago,
is another in the iong line ol
athletes who entered sports on doc
tor’s orders.
Kirby, 25 and a native of Sydney
Nova Scotia, had a rheumatic heart
as a youngster and was denied the
thrill of participating in juvenile
sports. However, soon after the age
cf seven his doctor advised hi;
parents that ice skating would be
permissible as a body builder.
Ten years later Kirby, who now
lives in Beverly Hills, Calif., began
winning titles. He won the junior
pairs title of Canada with Shirley
Halstead in 1940 while attending
St. Michael’s High in Toronto. In
1941 he 'won the Canadian junior!
singles and the following year took!
he Canadian senior crown. He also
ompeted on the Canadian national
lour team in 1941 and '42 and turned j
professional in 1943.
He now is one of Sonja Henie’s
skating' partners in Miss Henie’s I
Hollywood Ice Revue in Madison
Square Garden.
Kirby is one of the most graceful
male skaters ever seen on Garden |
ice despite his height. He stands j
two inches over six feet and weighs ■
185 pounds. He is married to his
former skating partner, Norah Ann
McCarthy, and they have two girls
and a boy, the oldest five.
Kirby would rather skate than
appear regularly in Hollywood,
where he has had feature film spots
with Lana Turner, Susan Peters
and Jeanne Crain.

NEW YORK.—Baseball’s hirings
r.rd firings made headlines but the
stunner to end all 1950 surprises
was the major league vote leaving
the sport with a commissioner it
did not want.
While Commissioner A. B. (Hap
py) Chandler strives to hold base
ball to the letter of his $65,000
a year contract, which expires April
30, 1952, the majors are intent on
selecting a new man "as soon as
practicable.”
Chandler, as a 46-year-old junior
senator from Kentucky, was named
commissioner for a seven-year term
on April 24. 1945.
At the recent St. Petersburg, Fla.,
winter meetings it looked like
Chandler would be voted a new
seven - year contact. That is, it
looked that way to all but Fred
M. Saigh, energetic president of the
St. Louis Cardinals. They have been
bitter enemies. Saigh gathered
enough executives on his side to
bring about Chandler’s defeat.
A third and final vote on a new
Chandler contract was defeated by
three votes. He needed 12 of the!
16 club:, behind him but only nine I
executives favored retaining him. i
“You haven’t enough money to
buy me out,” was Chandler’s stand.
What with the Korean war a!- j
ready having brought about t h e j
drafting of some big league pitching ;
stars the end of the year found
baseball standing on unsteady legs, j
Four Pilots Ousted
Chandler was not alone in his1
plight, Four major league managers j
(two by one club) were fired during
the year and three others quit.
Eighty - eight - year - old Connie i
Mack, Baseball’s Grand Old Man, j
resigned as manager after piloting |
the Philadelphia Athletics for 50
years. He remained as club presi
dent although.two of his sons, Roy
and Earl Mack, gained control of
the club.
Joe McCarthy resigned as Boston
Red Sox manager and popular Eddie
Dyer stepped down as leader cf
the Cardinals. Those fired were
Brooklyn’s Burt Shotton, Cleve
land’s Lou Boudreau, and Jack
Onslow and John Corrlden of the
White Sox. Popular Steve O'Neill
replaced McCarthy and almost won
the pennant, his Bosox finishing a
close third.
Replacements for 1951 are Marty
Marion, Cardinals; Charley
(Chuck) Dressen, Dodgers; Jimmie
Dykes, Athletics; Paul Richards,
White Sox, and A1 Lopez, Indians.

most brilliant trader in baseball
history sold his 25 per cent interest
in the Dodgers to his partners, Wal
ter F. O'Malley and Mrs. John L
Smith for $1,025,000. O’Malley re
placed Branch as Dodger president
and now shares with Mrs. Smith
75 per cent of the Brooklyn stock.
Frank E. McKinney of Indiana
poli. resigned ns president of thr
Pittsburgh Pirates, selling his stock
to John W. Galbreath of Columbus
O., and Thomas P. Johnson. Gal
breath later made Rickey genera!
manager and vice-president of his
Pirates. It was Galbreath who paved
he way for Rickey to sell his
Brooklyn stock by introducing him
to William Zeckendorf. a New York
realtor. However, O’Malley and Mrs.
Smith held prior rights to the stock
Zeckendorf received $50,000 front
Rickey far acting as middle man
in the surprise deal. The Brooklyn |
stock sale involved a 12 ’ j -year con
tract and an estimated $600,000 pro
f.t to Rickey.
The New York Yankees won their

The majors drew 17,462,977, a 14

weather and television got the
blame.

annual All-Star game. The contest I
saw Boston's Ted Williams, work-1

his left elbow while making a great
catch on Ralph Kiner's . drive j
against the left field wall at
Comiskey Park.
Voted as the most valuable players
were Jim Konstanty, 33-year-old
bespectacled relief pitcher of the
Phillies, and Phil Rizzuto, brilliant |
Yankee shortstop. Both had their ■
best years in the majors. Konstanty
appeared 74 games, all in relief, won
lo and lost 7. He set several records |
along the way and made Iris first i
big league start in four years when I
he opened the World Series. He
lost 1-0. Vic Raschi’s two-hitter was
too much for the Phillies. Rizzuto, j
playing in every Yankee game, hit
.324 and set two fielding marks by

games before committing an error.
Phillies Just Made It
Sawyer, serving his second full
year in the majors, was named
manager of the year. In the spring
he picked the Phillies to win by
10 games, he said later, but didn’t
tell a soul about it. It’s a good
thing he didn’t. His Whiz Kids
just tottered home.
Best pitching effort was the first
no-hitter in two seasons. It was
turned in by Vernon Bickford of
the Braves against Brooklyn. Lead
ing National League pitchers were
Sal Maglie of the Giants with an
18-4 record (.818) and Warren
Spahn of the Braves, who turned
in 21 wins against 17 losses. It was
his third 21-game year in four
seasons. American League hurling
aces were Vic Raschi of the Yankees
with 21-8 (.724) and Bob Lemon,
23-11 for Cleveland for his third
straight 20-game campaign.

money went it.to the players’ pen
sion fund. Another deal saw the.
Pirates sign Paul Pettit, 18-year-old ;

geles high school for $100,003. The
kid had an agent and it was then
that Saigh first openly opposed
Chandler. Saigh thought Pettit I
hould have been made a free agent.
Chandler let the deal stand. Mean
while, Pettit won only two games
and lost seven for New Orleans.
The fact that baseball repealed
the bonus rule figures to be a hell/
to Pettit and other youngsters who
received more than $6,000 for sign
ing initial baseball contracts. Or
dinarily the end of the bonus rule
would have been big news but it
was lost in the Chandler shuffle.
Red Sox Stronger
The Red Sox appeared to have
made the best player deals. After
Cleveland released Boudreau Boston
picked him up. The Red Sox also
obtained two front-line pitchers in
Rae Scarborough and Bill Wight

for Joe Dobson, A1 Zarllla and
