Minor League
Baseball Is
Threatened
CHICAGO. July 11—MV-Is this
Lhe year—with television and wide
spread broadcasts of major league
olay—that may decide the fate of
minor league baseball?
That question was raised even as
he American and National Leagues
alayed before a plump patronage of
•9.000 in the 17th All-Star game at
Jomiskey Park.
The two major loops yesterday
vadcd through some new business,
ncluding a relaxation of the March
1 deadline for the start of spring
raining.
But the alarming note of the
joint meeting was this report by
President George M. Trautman of
he National Association of Pro
fessional Baseball Leagues minor
eagues):
The first month of play by some
144 minor league clubs resulted in
i loss of one million fans. That was
caused mainly by broadcast and
television of major league games in
minor league territory, Trautman
old the major bigwigs.
The Justice Department in Wash
ington already has indicated that
any attempt to curb major league
radio or telecasts might be inter
preted as a monopoly.
So the minor leagues have stood
patiently by while their turnstiles
have rusted. How long they can
ake a box-office beating is ques
ionable.
The survey of minor league at
tendance will continue throughout
the season. Then Trautman will
present the plight of his organiza
tion to the Justice Department for
what it is worth. “As things are
?oing,” said Trautman, “the death
of the minors seems inevitable.”
Trautman cited this example of
how major league encroachment—
through television or chain radio
broadcasts—is affecting the minors:
in Seattle, Wash., a member of the
Pacific Coast League, fans get out
ride baseball entertainment from 11
a.m. until midnight.

PC LEAGUE GETS
TURNED DOWN IN
BIG LEAGUE PLEA
CHICAGO, July 11—<«—Clarence
"Pants” Rowland, president of the
Pacific Coast League, has been re
buffed for the sixth time in his
crusade to get his circuit major
league status.
The answer “no” means nothing
to this indomitable baseball pioneer
who was born 62 years ago at
Platteville, Wis., the son of a rail
roading father.
He presented his request to the
major league officials yesterday and
got the inevitable answer.
“I'll be back again next year,”
said the sparkling-eyed veteran.
“We don’t intend to continue as a
kindergarten for the major leagues.
We want exemption from the player
draft. We'll gain major league rank
ing eventually, and I think I* may
live to see it. I know damn well you
kids of 30 and 35 will live to see
it.”
Rowland described his session
with baseballs’ hierarchy as a meet
ing “with business men—not base
ball men.”
“They haven’t the foresight—or
perhaps its just selfishness—for
starting a third major league,”
Rowland declared.
Rowland said the only way the
Pacific Coast League can be elim
inated from the player draft is to
have major league rating

WEEK STARTS,
BIG SERIES
P.C. LEAGUE
i By the Associated Press)
Big series week begins in the
Pacific Coast League tonight, with
first piace Hollywood and second
place Oakland colliding in their
final series of the season.
This is unfortunate, perhaps, be
cause another scrap between these
two toward the end of the campaign
might prove interesting.
The Stars hold a two game bulge
on the Acorns, with the rest of
the pack far to the rear 10 games,
to be precise. But the Seattle
Rainiers might well steal the show
in their battle with San Diego for
the third place spot.
The Rainiers have been raging
like a four alarm fire and today
are only half a game behind the
Padres. San Diego has been looking
rather soggy lately, while Seattle
has captured its last 10 series.
Hollywood will be hampered in
two ways in its fray with the Oaks.
Two pitchers, two infielders and
the first string catcher arc hors do
combat. And the engagement ViTT
be staged at Oakland’s home park,
Emeryville.
The clubs have played three series
already. Oakland won all of them,
four games to three.
Other openers tonight find the
second division squads squaring off.
San Francisco plays at Los An
geles; Portland entertains Sacra
mento.
Oakland still leads the circuit in
five statistical departments; team
batting (.289); most runs (624);
most hits (1025): home runs (84);
and runs batted in (569).
Portland and Hollywood are tied
for the lead in team fielding with a
.975 average. San Diego, with 143
errors, is last in this department.
EXCITING GAMES
OF SOFTBALL IN
PLAY LAST NIGHT
The Juneau Softball League last
night in Evergreen Bowl played be
fore a good crowd with the De
partment of Interior and the Cardi
nal Club playing the first game. It
was a well fought game with the
score tied 9 to 9 in the last of the
sixth. The Cardinal Club came up
in the first of the seventh to score
two runs and put them ahead. The
last of the seventh found men on
first and third.
■Garcia, the next man up went
down swinging with three strikes,
but on the last strike the catcher
mtssed the ball and Garcia ran to
Jirst. The catcher made a wild
throw trying to put the runner out.
The runners from first and third
scored and Garcia went to third.
The next batter up drove a hard
single out to right field and the win
ning run came across the plate.
The final score. Dept, of Interior

Nichols and Leighton; for the Town
Criers, Walt Spoi l.
Somewhat of an unofficial re
cord was set in the game between
the Criers and the ACS. First base
man Bergeron's home run was the
longest hit ball ever seen in Ever
green Bowl when he caught a curve
ball thrown by Sperl to drive it to
the middle serving stripe of the
tennis court before it went down.
His rival first baseman. Scott, drove
three triple in succession (two in
one in .mg) to set another record.

pitcher for the Town Criers was
asked if lie was the same Sperl
who pitched the near shutout the
other night when lie was on his
mailboat Yakobi at a cannery to de
liver mail. He said, yes he was. The
fellow then asked him who spon
sored the Town Criers. Walt told
him that the fellows sponsored nnd
financed their own team. He was
greatly surprised. He then turned to
his secretary and told her to make
out a cheek for $10 to the Town
Criers for Sperl atm. nis teammates.
