That's the statement of Presi dent Clarence (Pants) Rowland, be major league baseball on the be maor league baseball on the Pacific coast," Rowland said. "But we never will bargain aw;iy one city or two to the major leagues. "Rather, when major league baseball conies to the west, it will be when the Pacific coast league is given major league status." Rowland asserted there is no chance for such a move now or even in the immediate future but that in the years ahead when the west coast becomes as popu lous as the east, there will be ma jor league baseball in all eight cities in the loop. Recently various easterners have pointed out that with air travel, the east coast teams could be moved to Los Angeles or San Francisco with no more elapsed time than the current train ride between eastern major league i entries. - ' ) Rowland, here on an inspection swing around the league, said coast loop attendance is up ap proximately 175,000 compared with the record-breaking 1(144 season. San r rancisco and Sail Diego are the two leading attencl- uice gainers. The league chief was in Oak land last week and watched the Acorns put 47,000 fans through the turnstiles in their six days of play against the San Francisco Seals. ' ' "That kind of attendance," lie declared, "distinctly is worthy of major league baseball."

The situation is aggrav ated because of manpower and equipment shortage's which cur tail lumber production, and it is easy to see that while the war pioduction board wishes to ease controls on civilian construction as quickly as possible, there still will be a period of time before the industry will be in position to help the public take advantage el the board's action."
