Grapefruit
League Play
By Associated Press '
Chicago White Sox Manager Paul
Richards, an old hand at develop
ing young pitchers, has two rookie
on his squad that are passing their
tests with flying colors.
Richards, credited with turning
Hal Newhouser into a star with De
troit, has been imparting his know
how to Harold (Skinny) Brown
and Lefty Marv Rottblatt.
Brown and Rottblatt showed
Richards plenty as they teamed tc
blank the world champion New
York Yankees, 5-0, in one of nine
Grapefruit League games played
yesterday. It was the first time the
Yankees were held runless since
last August.
The recruits spoiled the Yanks
appearance in Manager Casej
Stengel’s home town, Glendale, Cal
ifornia. They set the proud bomb
ers down on four hits, two each by
Hank Bauer and Phil Rizzuto.
Rottblatt set the Southern Asso
ciation on fire last year when he
won 22 games and lost nine for
Memphis.
Brown worked for Richards at
Seattle on the Pacific Coast League
in 1950, splitting 26 decisions.
Two veterans, little Bob Shantz
and Carl Scheib, also turned in a
neat bit of pitching as the Phila
delphia Athletics trounced the
Brooklyn Dodgers at West Palm
Beach, Fla.
The duo limited the Dodgers to
six hits.
In another well-pitched game,
the Boston Braves shaded the
Boston Red Sox, 2-1, at Bradenton
Fla. The Braves scored the winning
run in the sixth on a single by Roy
Hartsfield, an error and another
single by Earl Torgeson!
The St. Louis Cardinals edged
the Cincinnati Reds, 4-3. in 10 inn
ings at St. Petersburg, Fla. Nippy
Jones, attempting a comeback, drove
in the winning run with a fly ball

IINIV. REGENTS TO
AWARD MINES BLDG.
CONTRACT SATURDAY
The board of regents of the Uni
versity of Alaska will meet in An
chorage this Saturday to award a
contract for the construction of a
new School of Mines building at the
University, Dr. Terris Moore, presi
dent said today.
Three bids were received with
Pacific Construction Co. of Van
couver, Wash., being low with $424,
726 basic bid and an additional $83,
680 if a third story is added. Other
bidders were the Strand Construc
tion Co. of Fairbanks, $467,271 b^sic
and $97,000 for third story: and
Br.tchelder and Hayes of Fairbanks
'.vith $514,162 basic and $106,260 for
the third story.
At the Anchorage meeting if will
be decided whether or not the third
story of the building can be built
at this time, depending on legisla
tive appropriations. Dr. Moore said.
It obviously will be much cheaper
in the long run to build the third
stoi*y now than to wait and have a
separate contract later,” Dr. Moore
stated.
The 92x56-foot reinforced con
crete structure was designed by
Foss, Malcolm and Olsen, Juneau
architects. When completed the
building will be equipped with ap
proximately $50,000 worth of mining
machinery.
Construction will likely begin in
May and 400 days are allowed for
completion from the time of the
contract award
"The addition to the University i
classroom space by the new build- j
ing will greatly relieve the conges
tion in classroom space and improve
teaching conditions," Dr. Moore
said.
Only the School of Mines will be
housed in the building but the space
now occupied by Mines classrooms
will b£ used by the Agriculture, En
gineering and Liberal Arts depart
ments to a good advantage.
A decision about fitting the Mines
building into the Prentiss French
plan for the University expansion
will be made at the regents meeting.
Regents are Andrew Norland, pres
ident, Fairbanks; Walter Stewart,
vice president, Ketchikan; Michael
J. Walsh. Nome; Dr. C. Earl Al
brecht, Juneau; Elmer Rasmuson,
William A. O'Neill, Leo Rhode, all
of Anchorage; and Mrs. Harris*
Hess cf Fairbanks who is -serkusly
11 in a Seattle hospital.
