Although red-hot the first two or three days, the duck coun

considerably. However, this could be due te various reasons pe
culiar te that section. First there are numerous gun clubs active
only on Sundays and Wednesdays. Their ponds are year 'round
affairs and the birds naturally get used te feeding and resting
there. On the off -shooting days they fleck la on to the ponds and
are unmolested. The free-gunner does little en shooting that area

frustrating-, to say the least, but It Is a good thing te our way of
thinking. It gives the birds most of the week to loaf without hav

We remember areas in California stretching for miles through the
rice fields, back during the days when there were few dubs in exist

suddenly folded and dropped it was. not because of gunshot wounds.

Coast League
Changes Sked
Split Week Stands
Voted in by PCL
LOS ANGELES. Nov. lo-PV-
The Pacific Coast league today
adopted a split-week schedule for
the entire 1951 baseball campaign
and xormaiiy approved a 170
game regular season. The clubs
play three and four game series
each week and sometimes five
games. when double headers ai
necessary, but no more.
veteran Coast league Secretary
Harry William said the league
operated under such a split week
policy once, in 1935, since it was
rounded in 1903.
Play opens March 27 and winds
up Sept 9. Following will be a
playoff for the Governor's cuff.
The split week schedule will
mean the clubs will have to fly
approximately 75 per cent of the
time, officials said.
Opening series next year for
March 27-29 will be: Hollywood
at Sacramento, Portland at Oak
land, Seattle at Los Angeles and
San Francisco at San Diego. The
next, March SO-April 1. will find
Fortland at Sacramento, Holly
wood at Oakland, San Francisco
at Los Angeles and Seattle at San
Diego.
Formal approval was given the
transfer of stock to the new own
ers of the Sacramento club, Eddie
Mulligan, i Robert and Robert I.

By Annual Selections
CINCINNATI, Nov. lo-4P)-Ma-
or league teams, hoping to plug
gaping holes in their 1951 lineups,
picked up 25 minor loop players
today in the annual draft at a
cost of $239,500.. ,
Eleven of the 23 have seen pre
vious major league service, and
the average age of the draftees
around 28 years is, the highest
ever in the annual talent grab
from the bush loops.
A dozen pitchers, three catch
ers, eight ihflelders and a pair of
outfielders were elevated to the
big time. The 16 big league clubs
have until midnight Friday to
post more claims for players by
telegraph, and if any come in
with more selections to Commis
sioner A. B. Chandler, the total
may soar far above the 1949 fig
ure of 21 draftees, for whom
$192,500 was paid. .
The triple A clubs, who may be
excused from the draft next year,
were raided for 22 of the 25 play
ers, , the American Association
giving up nine, the Pacific Coast
seven and .the International
league six. Each cost the major
loopers $10,000.
In picking, up 11 former major
leaguers, the bigwig moguls evi
dently .were attempting to grab
tested talent to fill holes which
might be made by present partici
pants going into the military ser
vice, rather than gamble on minor
eague kids who have never
shown under the big top. .
The Kansas City farm of the
New York Yankees was the big
loser in the. draft, three players
being picked off the eighth place
club of the American Association.
Pittsburgh picked up First
Baseman Richard Dale Long, the
bonus player shifted to Kansas
City after batting .288 as a first
baseman for Binghamton last
season; Jack Cusick, shortstop,

Nov. 16-(Special)-Oregon State's

A midweek report from Pull

would be cold and snowy on

played against UCLA in 104-de-gree
heat at Los Angeles.

at Palo Alto Saturday these two

league officials were outspoken in
draft which claimed seven Coast
leading a long battle to have the
triple-A Coasters exempt from
the draft, examined the. list of
draftees and exclaimed: ,
That's Just what we're trying
to escape. Here we've lost seven
more players for $70,000. not
counting additional losses in hav
ing to sell others below their ac
tual worth in order to keep them
from being grabbed. .
Seven top players yet the
majors will turn around and give
some high school kid $70,000 just
to sign up, What's fair . about
that?" j .
Owner Clarence - (Brick) Laws
was burned up over the news
that Pittsburgh had drafted his
crack outfielder, : George .Metko
vich. That's out and out rob
bery," said Laws. "I paid $25,000
for Metkovich last winter when
no major league club apparently
wanted him at least for that kind
of money. - v. 1 '
So he has a big year and gets
voted the Coast league's most val
uable player, and now they're hot
to have him back for $10,000. So
t costs us $13,000 to have faith
in a player the majors had given
up. Fine stuff!"
General Manager Bill Mulligan
of Portland -was similarly irked
