Minor Leaguers
Seek Freedom
In Defiant Note
Chicago, Feb. 27 (IB The com
bined minor leagues, through
their selected revision committee,
struck a defiant note today as
they prepared once again to try
to win their emancipation from
the majors.
The 10 wartime minor circuits
are tired of being snubbed by
their big brothers and are de
maning an equal voice in the se
lection of a commissioner as well
as a more prominent place In
baseball's ruling class. Their
latest showdown is being pre
pared by a preliminary 10-man
revision committee which is meet
ing here to draft a new major
minor league agreement.
Vote uequestca
The minors took their stand
vesterdav. when the committee
requested a 50-30 vote with the
majoi'3 in selecting a successor to
the late Kenesaw M. Landis. The
big leagues at present have all
the power to ao tne voting on
new chief.
Meeting here for three days to
revise the agreement which gov
erns relations between the majors
and minors, President Thomas H.
Richardson of the Eastern league,
committee chairman, issued the
50-50 proposition, stating that the
minors should be ready to share
expenses of the commissioners
oitice for voting privileges.
The committee put teeth in its
proposal, too. Noting that the
majors apparently are going to
select a commissioner wiinoui
consulting the minors, the com
inittee went on record as "favor
inn certain legislation for the pro.
tection of the minor leagues that
would enable the association to
either reaffirm or cancel the
agreement."
Called 'Movement'
"This is not a fight but a move
ment," Clarence (Pants) Rowland
of the Pacific coast league said.
"The agreement is outdated and
we're going to modernize it. We're
no longer dependents but going
concerns."
The following proposals were
submitted today for discussion:
(1) Elimination of the clause
which allows no recourse to the
courts from a decision by the
commissioner (proposed by Pres
ident Leo Miller, Syracuse club,
International league).
(2) Raise the draft price for
minor league players, such as
hiking the $7,500 price for a
Double-A player to $12,000 (Row
land). f
(3) Recognition and, prompt at
tention to minor league sugges
tions and recommendations by the
majors (Richardson).
(4) Guarantee territorial rights
of the minors against the majors
(Rowland).

New York, Feb. 27 Ul'i Frankle,
Winnie and Joe mantled their re
cent conferences at Yalta with mil
itary secrecy. However, It was a
thin blanket compared to the "pll-
litary" secrecy now enveloping the !
ballta" activities of Sam Brea-
tloned by other newspaper men
about his enlightening telephone

"I have no comment. No, 1 cannot

purposes of plllitary secrecy, I
will merely refer to him as Brea
don and his city as Saint."

These four club owners are serv

post of baseball high commission

They were scheduled to meet to
day at St. Louis. But the latest

the bald fact that the meeting had

Their conversation follows:
"Why was the meeting called

"I have no comment."
"Has another been scheduled?"
"I have no comment."
"How many candidates are you

To Win Contest
Quintets to Join
In District Play
Five schools from the great
Central Oregon plateau, the
state's largest basketball district
from a geographical standpoint,
will meet In Prineville this week
to determine the championship of
this region. Play will be under
the Oregon State High School
Athletic association setup. The
five schools participating will be
Prineville, Redmond, Lakeview,
Bend and Burns.
The winner of the tournament
in this section, officially desig
nated as district 3, will then trek
to southern Oregon to meet Med
ford, winner in district 2, which
ever team comes out on top in
tnis piayoit wiu then have a
ticket to the state tournament In
Salem.
Metropolitan newspapers are
picking Medford as state finalist,
and the possibilities of either one
of the two leading schools from
tnis district stopping the unbeat
en Tigers seem remote. Both
Prineville and Redmond play
comparatively slow, deliberate
games, while Medford relies al
most entirely on a fast-breaking
attack.
Bears Badly Beaten
On the basis of the only com
parative scores available, the
Black Tornado rules a 15 to 20
point favorite over either team.
Bend was the only team from this
region to play the district 2
champs, and was beaten by an
average of 40 points. The best the
Cowboys could do against the eel
lardwelllng Bears was a 14-point
margin. Saturday night Redmond
rolled up a larger edge by lead
ing 17 points at the end of tho
game with Bend.
The Prineville tourney will

six-month suspension from Cali
fornia fighting rings and forfei

At a hearing yesterday, state
athletic Commissioners John llus-
tlgan and Ed Pencevlch declared
his performance to have been "un
satisfactory." Rustlgan withheld a
vote on forfeiture of Cooper's

by three Southern California

Mighty Herman
To Quit Baseball
Ontario, Oil., Feb. 27 Hl'iBahe
Herman, veteran home run king,
has quit baseball "for good" after
23 years of slugging in both the
major and minor leagues, Puck
Fausett, manager of the Pacific
coast league Hollywood Stars,
saitl today.
Herman, who had been with the
stars since 111.19 as an outfielder,
coach and pinchhittrr, hatted
..'tili during U years with major
league clubs In Brooklyn. Cincin
nati, Chicago and Detroit between
l!2fi and 10.17. Herman said he
would give up the diamond sport
to devote full time to raising tur
keys and chickens on his Simla nd,
Calif., ranch.
Cougar Center
Sets New Mark
Portland, Ore., Feb. 27 HI'
Vlnce Hanson, tall Washington
State center, has the Northern di
vision basketball scoring title In
the bag and the only question
now is just how far he'll exceed
the division record of 224 points,
established In 194.1 by another
Cougar, Gale Bishop.
Hanson tossed in 16 points last
Saturday against the Washing
ton Huskies to tie Bishop's mark.
However, Hansen still has two
games to play to finish out the
Ntandard ltl game season and both
of them ai-e against Idaho a rela
tively weak opponent this season.
With any kind of luck, Hansen!
should be able to set a Northern
division mark this year which Ihoj
player's of the future varsities;
may shoot at for some time.
Currently second In the scoring'
chase Is Oregon Stale's Red Ko-1
cha. who has made 209 points !
liven Knrha has a chance to equal '
or surpass the old record, for If
he makes Hi points against the
Oregon Wcbfeot In his last game,
he'll achieve thai distinction.
Dick Wilklns who long was the
pace setter In the scoring has
slipped back to third with 19i
points and one game to play.
Eugene, Ore., Feb. 27 IB With
the psychological advantage of be
ing slightly the underdog in the
forthcoming basketball contest
with the Oregon State Beavers,
the Oregon Webfeet went back to
practice yesterday, determined to
leave nothing undone toward get
ting in shape for the decisive game
next Saturday.
Because Oregon State won the
last two games from the Oregon
team, 55-51 and 45-43, the Beavers j the consolation bracket.
have been established as the favor
its, despite an early season loss to
Oregon.
With the benefit of a four-day
rest, Coach John Warren's charg
es are all pepped up and practi
cally ready to vow that they'll
win this final contest against their
old enemies. Most of the players
will be in prime physical condition,
having, recovered from small and
large injuries which have plagued
the squad for the past several
weeks.
Cinch To Win
With Washington State a virtual
cinch to win both of its games
against Idaho this week-end, the
winner of the State of Oregon
series will automatically be pitted
against the Cougars for the cham
pionship in a playoff. Should WSC
stumble which Isn't likely then
either Oregon or Oregon State is
a shoo-in.
Warren plans to give much at
tention to offense and defense this
week, especially on offensive
plays, since the Oregon team has
lacked a scoring punch at crucial
moments In the last few contests.
In the last two games with Ore
gon State, the Webfeet failed to
solve the Staters' man-for-man de
fense.
Bend Bulletin bowlers posted a
new high series for the season last
night in Industrial league play on
