O'DOUL MAY
QUIT, HEAD
OF S.F. SEALS
j
r _____
By Associated Press
One $l-a-year man in the Pacific
Coast league got his walking papers
yesterday and there are rumors of
similar treatment for another—so
how low can baseball salaries get?
Dwindling attendance, a constant
specter before the eyes of club own
ers these days, was blamed in part
y for reports that Manager Lef:y
O’Doul, whose San Francisco Seals
' lost 13 straight might "resign."
Sports Columnist A1 Wolf of the
Los Angeles Times cited the rows
of empty seats w'hich he said "all
too plainly indicated that most of
the citizenry had given up on O’Doul
and Co.”
O’Doul immediately denied that
he planned to resign. Seal Owner
t Paul Fagan and General Manager
Joe Oregno also denied the reports.
Meantime, in Oakland, Dick
Wakefield, outfielder, asked for and
was given an unconditional release.
Wakefield, who hadn’t started a
game this season, said he quit base
ball because he felt he wasn’t get
ting anywhere. He will try for a
job in the majors.
Both Wakefield and O’Doul oper
ate under $l-a-year contracts which
* permit their clubs to base their ac
tual remuneration on results.
Games today:
Los Angeles at Hollywood (night).
Sacramento at Seattle.
San Francisco at Oakland (night).
San Diego at Portland (day-night
doubleheader).
HERE'S HOW
NATL.LEAG.
LINING UP
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK, April 10 —I#)—The
National League race looks like a
three-team squabble with the vvell
1 balanced fighting Phillies picked to
beat out Brooklyn and New York
Giants.
Sure you remember last Septem
ber. How the Whiz Kids wobbled
and the awakened Dodgers almost
nipped them at the wire. How Leo
Durocher’s Giants, with Sal Maglie
and Jim Hearn flinging shutouts,
forged to third place in a gallop
ing finish. How the Phils lost four
straight to the Yanks in the world
series.
There has been a tendency to
write off the Phils as “one time
wonders” to say Jim Constanty
never can approach his 74 superb
relief jobs of last season.
Here’s the way the National
League looks from here:
1. Philadelphia
2. Brooklyn
3. New York
4. Boston
5. St. Louis
6. Cincinnati
7. Pittsburgh
8. Chicago
Williams
Favorite in
Pruden Bout
CHICAGO, April 10 —UPI— Light
weight Champion Ike Williams rule;
a 3-1 favorite to defeat welterweight
contender Fitzie Pruden of Toronto.
Canada, in a 10-round non-title
bout in Chicago fetadium tomorrow
night.
Williams is expected to weigh 144
pounds to Pruden’s 146.

"Drafted"
Lown Is
Edging Up
Pitches Chicago Cubs to
6-1 Victory-Marrero
Is Showing Stuff
Bv Associated Press
The Chicago Cubs don’t figure
to go far in the National League
pennant race, but it appears they
have come up with the best "draff’
bargain in more than a decade in
rookie righthander Omar (Turk)
Lown.
Lown, drafted from Brooklyn’s
Montreal International League team
for $10,000, is the apple of Manager
Frank Frisch’s eye.
Lown pitched the Cubs to a 6-1,
five-hit victory over Little Rock
yesterday in the Southern Associa
tion city. He worked the first eight
innings and never was headed after
the fifth when Hank Sauer poled
a three-run homer.
Another neat pitching job was
turned in by little Con Marrero at
Winston Salem, N. C. Marrero
hurled Washington to a 2-1, two
hit victory over Ken Raffensberger
and the Cincinnati Reds. Marrero
fanned nine.
The New YorK Giants siaugmerea
the Cleveland Indians, 16-4, at Pine
Bluff, Ark. Whitzy Lockman got
two homers and Monte Irvin. Hank
Thompson, A1 Dark and Ed Stanky
one each to lead the Giants’ bom
bardment.
The Brooklyn Dodgers also util
ized the home run as they edged
Asheville, 9-8, at Asheville, N. C.
Roy Campanella clouted two and
Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges
one each.
Lefty Warren Spahn scattered 14
hits as he pitched the Boston Braves
to a 8-4 triumph over the New York
Yankees at Dallas, Tex. The Braves
scored six runs in the first four
innings off Vic Raschi to lock up
the decision. Yank Manager Casey
Stengel was tossed out of the game
by Umpire Augis Donatelli in the
third inning.
Harry Taylor and Bill Evans
scattered 11 hits as they pitched
the Boston Red Sox to an. easy 9-1
decision over the Chicks at
Memphis.
Sports Briefs
Dallas — Three members of the
New York Yankees—Shortstop Phil
Rizzuto and Pitchers Allie Reynolds
and Joe Page — were told to report
to Johns Hopkins hospital in Balti
more for examination.
Cincinnati — Ralph Kiner, home
run king of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
was named player-representative of
the National League, succeeding
Marly Marion of the St. Louis
Cardinals.
New York — Uncle Millie ($5.90)
won the $5,000 Prospect purse at
Jamaica, whipping Battlefield by
4!i lengths.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 10 —OP)
—Middleweight Champion Sugar
Ray Robinson floored Don Ellis
twice in the first round last night
to gain a knockout in their non
title bout.
The chamrion met Ellis’ wild
charge with a jarring right to the
jaw that sent him to the canvas.
The champion weighed 157, Ellis
168.

Famechon, French featherweight
king, gets his chance at the Cin
cinnati Gardens tonight to redeem
himself for the knockout given him
a month ago by Eddie Burgin, local
Negro.

parently on edge, Famechon said
today he will prove that the TKO
scored in their first meeting was
accidental and due to a misunder
standing.

SHRIMPING ONLY
FAIR, LYNN CAN.
The John N. Cobb, exploratory
vessel of the U. S. Fish and Wild
life Service, returned to Juneau
over the weekend from its shrimp
prospecting trip in the Lynn Canal
area. It prospected from Berner's
Bay to Skagway.
C. Howard Baltzo, assistant re
gional director of the Juneau of
fice of FWS, said that good trawl
ing bottoms were found to the north
but that shrimp showed in only
fair numbers. He termed the
shrimping as “marginal" as far as
commercial prospects were con
cerned.
The vicinity of Haines produced
180 pounds of mixed pinks at about
fifty fathoms, with drags of hall
hour duration. In deeper drags,
about 90 fathoirft, 40 pounds pf
large side stripes were brought up
However, Baltzo pointed out that
this was not too discouraging as
during the spring the shrimp seem
to move into shallower bottoms and
inlets and the Cobb made only cur
sory examinations.
He said one puzzling situation
was apparently cleared up by the
Cobb. During its prospecting it had
seen no Dungeness crab but at one
place the trawl was bogged down in
the mud and uncovered a number
of crabs which had evidently bur
rowed down into the mud in hiber
nation.
This week the Cobb will work
the Stephen’s Passage and Port;
Snettisham region for shrimp. It
will return in a few days to pick
up Conrad Kneutson, crew member
who is in St. Anns hospital. Kneut
son suffered a strained back dur
ing the Cobb's last trip. It is then
expected the Cobb will proceed
south.
HAINES VISITOR
George Mummert of Haines is
stopping at the Baranof Hotel.
80 TRUCKS STALLED
WHEN SNOW FALLS
ON THOMPSON PASS
Thompson Pass on the Richard
son highway was closed for a time
Sunday when four feet of snow fell
in eight hours on the summit.
As an idea of the amount of traf
fic over ■ the pass, A. F. Ghiglionc,
an official of the Alaska Road Com
mission, said that 80 large trucks
were stalled on the road awaiting
its re-opening during the eight hour
period. Traffic has now resumed.
ARC is now awaiting news as
to the opening of the Haines high
way. The Alaska portion, to the
boundary, is open but the pass on
the Canadian side is not open and
is in the jurisdiction of the Can
adian government. Last year it
opened about June 1.
A report on the slide on the Val
dez highway, which injured twc
men and crushed the automobile in
which they were riding was received
by the ARC office. It was explained
that the accident occurred not frott
debris being loosened by concussion
of the blast but was caused by the
rock and dirt which was being blas
ted from the hillside.
Two men, walking each way from
the scene of the blasting were sup
posed to stop traffic beyond the
danger area and then signal the
man whose duty it was to set off
in charge. In some* manner, signals
became confused with the result
that the car was caught just at
the blast point.
JUNIOR ARTISTS ARE
TO HOLD EXHIBIT ON
SATURDAY, APR. 14
The Junior Art Class will hold
an annual exhibit Saturday, April
14, at the Dugout from 1 to 5 p.m.
The class is sponsored by the
American Legion Auxiliary and is
instructed by Mary Westfall. It is
a non-profit, community project
with a fee of $1.00 per student per
month, which money is used en
tirely for the purchase of supplies
used by members of the class.
The exhibit marks the end of
a series of 27 Saturday classes for
1950-51, and the exhibition has
been planned and all arrangements
made by the students. The boys
will arrange the display and the
girls will act at hostesses presiding
at Ihe tea tables and guest book.
These art classes were started in
October 1947 with an enrollment
of 35 students. Fifty-two students
were enrolled for the 1950-51 term.
“The high attendance and the
quality of each student's work
speaks for itself,” Mrs. Westfall said.
“Each product is definitely the stu
dent’s own work, each learning to
have faith in his ability and the
courage to keep on trying to devel
op his own style of art and origin
ality.”
i Students displaying their work
I are requested to leave their pictures
i at the Dugout Saturday morning.
