Chandler Backs Coast Grcuit Draft Modifications Also Slay Be Pushed By FriU Howell CINCINNATI, Nov. MflVThe Pacific Coast league appears to be creeping up on the major loop status it has sought for years. There's a good . possibility the Triple-A circuit - will be classed 4-A. highest ever reached by a minor league, before the 1951 cam paign rolls around. . Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler, following a hearing on the coast leagues plea to be ex cused from all angles of baseball's annual draft, said today: "We've decided to give relief to the coast league as the facts Justify. Such relief may result in higher classification, possibly 4-A, under the national association structure." Chandler said the coast league had peculiar problems in that sev en of its eight clubs are ' inde pendently owned, it has a longer playing season, and it outdraws the other Triple-A leagues at the gate. The commissioner said a com' clete and immediate survey would be made of all angles of the coast league operation before the com ' mittee's recommendation is placed before the major and minor league meetings in St. Petersburg, Fla, In December. "We are asking the same data of the international league and the American association, and there's a possibility theier class!' fication will be raised if they de sire, and can qualify, Chandler said. - - Chandler declined to go into what relief from the draft would , be given the coast league, should its status be elevated, but Del Webb of the New York Yankees and Branch Rickey, late of the Brooklyn Dodgers, two of the com' mittee members, said: "It wouldn't be out of line to infer that the draft price for coast league players might be raised, or that the league might be able to keep a player a bit longer before He s eligible for draft-" , .

Vikings Lose Four Key Men Salem high's Vikings steamed through a muddy scrimmage drill Wednesday as they neared the windup of preparations tor Fri day night's battle with the strong Astoria Fishermen at Waters park. The Viks Wednesday workout brought some cheer to Coach Lor en Mort but nevertheless a gloomy note hovers over the SHS camp and it stems from the loss of four key men. Mort announces that Ross Ty ler, defensive fullback . and a standout line-backer has moved to Colorado and that Bob DeWitt, right half and another defensive bulwark is on the. shelf for the season at the advice of his doc tor. DeWitt sustained rib injuries a couple of weeks ago. A third man. Bob Hart who has been regular left guard most of the season. Is also shelved for the remainder of the campaign after cutting off the end of a finger in a shop accident And the fourth man the Viks lose is Tackle John Condor, who has been hospitalized for almost a week with a high . temperature. DeWitt Hart and Condor an miss ed the Corvallis game. When the Salems collide with Coach Ray Segale's Fishermen they wUl meet a club which has dropped but one decision this season that a 12-13; loss to Longview. The one common foe Astoria and Salem have met is Gresham. Whereas the Viks. bow ed to that team, the Fishermen racked up a 33-12 win so will fall into the favorite's role Friday night. Astoria utilizes the "T attack and its big offensive threats are Dick Pavlitt, elusive left half, and his running mate, Paul Gauthler. Both are breakaway type, runners. An encouraging note " for the Viks Is the return of Halfbacks Tom Kerns and Gene Jones to top shape after being hobbled by ansae sprains.

Injury Forces Jim Rock from Footballing No footballing this faU at all for Jim Back with the Navy Plebes at Annapolis, we've learned, and all because ef an injury. Seems Jim was playing soma basketball daring a recreation per iod, collided with another player and suffered severe damage to a ' knee. An operation was necessary, and it kayoed aU plans for his footballing. Before being hurt Rock had a brief torn en the pitching mound at Annapolis, however, and displayed enough to be tabbed as a potential hurling star for the Academy nine next spring . . Another gent certain to appreciate Willamette's new McCuUoch stadium Saturday night when the Unfields come in for the Northwest conference clash is Johnny Oravec, now assistant under Paul Durham at the McMinnville school. Johnny was a Little All-Americ an during his playing days at WU, and spent many a gooey session in the Sweet land field mud.

Ivan Angry - So Now Comes Big Brother Soldat Having now been treated like a lowly cor by enemy readers, referees and mat customers, Ivan (The Russian) Gorky Is to exact his fie at the local armory next Tuesday night. The bearded Bel-' shevlk has called to his big brother Soldat for help. And from what we've heard of Soldat, Ivan strictly is the Junior member f the Gorky rassling family. Ivan has managed to make himself ' ne ef the most disliked matadors in armory history. Soldat is said to be twice as capable at the same chore. So the two to gether as a grappling tandem should be reason enough to double , the guard en Tuesday nights at the Ferry Street Garden. . Tis said that Soldat got so bad in Washington rings the past few months that he was afraid to snake the jaunt to and from the ring unless surrounded by protective gendarmes. He should be so fortunate here ... - mmmmmmmmmmm , MflB to WKIR niiimniiniiim' - Ij-TS, I THINK" 1 WATCH FOR THIS MAN? REPORT TO POLICE OR CALL THIS STATION. THE SEARCH 16 CITYWfDE. T.v. wiggles!
