New Plan May
Create More
Big Leagues
NEW YORK, Nov. 15—^—Base
ball is drawing up a master plan
to create more major leagues.
Rejecting 10-club or 12-club ver
sions of the current majors as "en
tirely unsound." a special commit
tee has outlined plans for a new
“open" classification through which
entire eight-club leagues might ad
vance to the majors.
Exact details of the steps leading
from "open” to major still must be
worked out. But the major leagues’
special committee on Pacific Coast
League problems promises the plan
will be ready before the minor
league meetings at Columbus in
early December.
Coast League Fight
The Pacific Coast League, waging
a vigorous battle against the player
draft, would qualify for “open” clas
sification under the proposal. The
new "open” class would provide a
measure of draft relief by letting i
players exempt themselves from se
lection.
President Clarence Rowland of
the Pacific Coast League hailed the
move. "This gives us assurance
that the integrity of the Pacific
Coast League will be recognized, and
that when it advances, the advance]
will be made by all eight clubs as
a whole,” Rowland said.
This could mean a major league
on the Pacific coast “within a
reasonable time.” The "open” clas
sification would not be permanent
but open for review within a five
year period or less — as a prelim
inary step to major league status.
Once established as an “open”
league, with time to build up its
playing strength, improve its parks
and develop public interest, the next
step would be major league.
Carter
Is Easy
Winner
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15—fjPi—
World Lightweight Champion
Jimmy Carter and challenger Art
Aragon observed contrasting cele
brations today.
Carter enjoyed a round ' Of vic
tory toasts after successfully de
fending his crown in a bruising
15-round fight last night. Aragon,
the slightly tarnished golden boy of
boxing here, in more subdued fash
ion belatedly observed his 24th
birthday.
Aragon's birthday was two days
ago, but he had planned to combine
it with a victory celebration after
last night’s battle. Instead the big
party was on Central Avenue, Los
Angeles’ counterpart of New York's
Harlem.
Carter belted out a unanimous
decision over Aragon, flooring
him twice and leaving him well
beaten at the end.
Referee Mushy Callahan and
Judge Frankie Van gave the fight
to Carter by an 11-point spread.
Judge Joe Stone put the Gotham
Negro ahead by 12 points.
Paid admission totaled 7,251 and
gross receipts, including $35,000 for
television rights, were $109,063, at
least $20,000 less than had been
expected.
A star-studded and uproarious
crowd, as well as a national tele
vision audience going into many
thousands, witnessed the title clash.
TANKER IN PORT
The A. C. Rubel, Union Oil Com
pany tanker, arrived last night from
Whittier where bulk products were
discharged. The tanker sails to
night for Ketchikan after discharg
ing bulk products here. Master of
the vessel is Capt. W. A. Bodden.

Football
Pickings
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK. Nov. lb—dPI—Half
backs and drawbacks . . . homecom
ings and short comings . . . footballs
and highballs . . . long roses and
broken noses . . . winners and los
ers ... all are parts of the football
season.
So here are the winners and losers
for this weekend's games:
Stanford over Oregon State: Only
the fact that the game is being
played on the Stanford field keeps
Oregon State out of the favorite’s
role.
California over Oregon: Even if
California isn’t as good as first
expected, the Bears should be good
enough to handle an Oregon team
that has won only two of eight.
Tennessee over Mississippi:
Chances are Tennessee is about two
touchdowns too strong for Missis
sippi.
Michigan over Georgia Tech.
Princeton over Yale: Dick Kaz
maier and his playmates annex the
Big Three title for the fifth straight
year.
Illinois over Ohio State.
Maryland over North Carolina
State.
Oklahoma over Iowa State.
Kentucky over George Washing
ton.
Wisconsin over Iowa.

Joe Page in
Baseball's
Slave Marl
NEW YORK, Nov. 15—UPI—For
the price of $10,000 — a good day’s
hot dog and beer take — any big
league club can have Joe Page,
the gay reliefer of the 1947-49
Champion New York Yankees.
Fireman Joe and 4,683 other
players are on the draft list for
Monday’s grab bag at Cincinnati.
Owners are displaying unusual in
terest in the bargain basement sale.
If you’re a little hazy on the draft,
here’s how it works. The last place
club in the American League — the
St.'Louis Browns — gets first pic(c
of all eligible minor leaguers. Then
the Chicago Cubs, last in the Na
tional. And so on through the New
York Yankees No. 15, and the New
York Giants, 16th and last.
Last year the majors drafted 28
men for $269,500. That was only
$3,000 short of the record set in
1947 when 29 Were picked for
$272,500.
Prize Pick
Prize pick of a year ago was Mor
ris Martin, the ex-Brooklyn lefty
who W'ound up with a fine 11-4
record for the Philadelphia A’s.
Once they gave Martin a starting
chance in the second half of the
season, he was terrific.
Some 15 of the 28 stuck around
most of the year including the No.
1 pick, George Metkovich who bat
ted .294 for Pittsburgh.
Remember Boo Ferriss of the Red
Sox? He’s on the Louisville list.
So is Bill Evans (8-4) who has had
1 big league trials.
The Pacific Coast League, waging
a battle against having its players
drafted, has a flock of eligibles.
Joe Gordon, Sacramento manager,
is listed but whoever takes him
will have to pay his manager’s con- 1
tract through 1952. Marv Rotblatt,
the half pint lefty who had a 4-2
record for the White Sox, is on
the Seattle list as is Earl Johnson,
ex-Red Sox.
A1 Gettle, the pitcher the Giants
bought last winter only to have him
flop with a 1-2 record is among the
Oakland eligibles.
Nippy Jones, St. Louis Cardinal
first base regular for much of the
season would cost only $7,500 if t
taken from Houston.
And so it goes all down the line.
Some bargains. Some busts.

Fishermen
Attack FWS
Proposals
(Continued Horn Fage One)
know the main purpose of a trap
is to catch fish,” Davis said. "If a
trap is so constructed so the fish
would lay along a lead, it wouldn't
be a very good trap.”
The first real controversy of the
Thursday morning session of the
Shearing arose over the proposed
regulation to prohibit set net fish
ing throughout Southeast Alaska.
Heated Objection
W. E. Nigh, a set-netter from
the Haines area objected to this
proposal heatedly. He said he had
been a- set-netter on the Chilkat
since 1943. He said there were only
a few operators of this type and
claimed that set nets were not a
serious problem. He said of the
few set-netters there were, most
of them were old men who could
not earn a living any other way.
"It looks to me as if this is just
a political set-up, picking on the
little dog, when what we really
need is to get the traps out of the
way. The percentage of fish caught
in set nets is very small.”
Rhode agreed with him that the
percentage was small and pointed
out that the measure was to prevent
a new type of gear causing a fu- ;
ture problem.
Nigh brought a burst of laughter
as he concluded with a smile, "It
may be true that the fish congre
which he said corroborated that
that’s where a man wants to fish.”
E. B. Lomen, of Haines, defend- j
eel the set-netters and offered a
petition signed by over 100 Haines j
fishermen and business people pro
testing any interference with set
nets in that area. He produced fig
ures showing that six men working
for him last year averaged only j
1062 fish for the season’s fishing.
Rhode suggested that the Haines I
group and other set-netters meet I
with the Fish and Wildlife Service
to see if an agreement could be
reached.
Many other fishermen jumped up
to speak on various subjects. There !
was a great deal of diseussidn con- 1
cerning a possible early season next
summer. Industry representatives1
were the target of several barbed
comments from the floor.
The htaring recessed about 12:30 1
and began again at 1:30 thi3 after
noon. Friday is also set aside for the
hearing if needed.
Sabotage Feared;
Warning Is Given
By the Associated Pres#
National Security Resource? Chief
Jack Gorrie says we have licked the
threat cf Communist industrial
sabotage — so any enemy., must
try to atom-bomb our industries.
He wants them spread out in each
city, with plenty of blast space be
tween. Gorrie invited business, labor
and civic leaders from 53 cities to
hear his remarks in Washington
today.

Government
Negligent in
'47 Ship Wreck
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15—Wt—
The U. S. Government was declared
negligent in the 1947 wreck of the
Army Transport Clarlcsdale Victory
off western Canada which took 17
lives.
Federal Judge George B. Harris
awarded $52,700 in judgments to
survivors of seven ‘men yesterday.
He said the government must be
considered liable for the loss of
■crewmen's lives.
The cargo ship hit a reef and
broke in two on Nov. 24, 1947. Des
pite a thick fog, Judge Harris said,
the Alaska-to-Seattle ship was mov
ing from 151 a to 16 knots.
Gerald R. Langesen, 29, of Oak
land, Calif., master of the ship,
was one of the 47 lost. The wreck,
in which only four men survived,
was called the worst disaster in 19
years of Alaska shipping.
The awards included:
$16,000 to Mrs. Ida L. Webb, Ritz
ville, Wash., administrator of the
estate of Dallas Warrick Webb.
$15,000 to Mrs. Muriel Furth, Ta
coma, administrator of the estate
of Martin W. Furth.
