FANS SHY
AT GAMES
IN P. C. L.
By Associated Press
Big Max West, who hit 30 homers
for San Diego last season, returns
to Padre-town tonight (Tuesday)
but as right fielder for a rival
Pacific Coast League Club—The
Los Angeles Angels.
' And the three-game series of the
infant 1951 season may help decide
which club got the best of the
trade. The Angels and Padres ex
changed right fielders—Clarence
Maddern for Max.
Clarence, who has averaged .319
at bat in 12 years of pro ball, has
helped the Padres stay atop the
loop pack for the first week with
six wins and one setback.
San Francisco's winless Seals,
taken in three games by San Diego
and in four by the Angels, entertain
Portland in a best of three series.
T'he Beavers, in a three-way tie for
second place with the Angels and
Oakland, have the power to con
tinue whitewashing the O’Doul
men.
The Sacramento solons play host
to the Acorns, defending PCL
title-holders, while the Seattle
Rainiers move to Hollywood for an
abbreviated series.
It’s been mighty chilly at the
gate so far, with 42 per cent fewer
fans than during opening week
last year,

The order, effective as of Sunday,
does not prevent new car buyers
from purchasing a fifth tire them
selves to replace the one left off
by the facttiry. *

cut of 7,500 tons in civilian use of
rubber but held up their order be
cause a Senate committee objec
ted to it.
Senator Gillette (D-Iai of the
Senate Small Business Committee
had requested a delay in issuance of
the April order on grounds it would
bear too heavily on small rubber
Companies.
