Bend is being urged to join the
Oregon State League, a success
ful "low-pressure-type" semi-, ro
baseball league made up of about
90 per cent college age players.
"Let's face it." said Bend city
recreation director Vince Genna.
"there are few semi-pro loops left
for college players."
The league, of course, has the
si l ong support of college baseball
coaches. In addition, major lea
gue baseball is interested and, in
some instances, is helping to de
fray some of the costs.
Genua attended a meeting of the
league in Eugene last weekend.
Last year the league operated
with six teams two from Eu
gene, the Santi. m Loggers, a
squad from Albany and teams
from North Bend Coos Bay and
Boseburg.

"All of tlie teams made a profit
last year, but they finance it in
different ways," Genna explained.
"For instance, in most cases the
boys pay their own meals on road
trips. And in some cases, they
even pay for their rooms. Travel
ing expenses are paid by the club.
"But the purpose isn't to make
money. It's to give the college-age
player a chance to play ball"
The league is a switch from tlie
old semi-pro leagues when tlie
majority of tlie teams brought in
players and had to find jobs for
the ballplayers to boot.
Genna said tlial in tlie Oregon

to consider this Thursday.
But there arc, of course, num
erous problems. These include a
sponsor, a manager, equipment,
organization and the like. Some
one is needed to pick up the ball.
Then there is the question of
how a semi-pro club would affect
attendance in the Legion baseball
program.
"It would be nice to have a team
for our older boys I Legion base
ball gradsl to play," Genna said.
"But whether there are enough
fans to support two programs is a
question."
Semi-pro baseball, tlie oldlime
variety anyhow, has not been
flourishing in recent years. The
main problem is there are too
many other summer activities that
conflict.

may be something else again
King Kong Keller's son
bright major loop prospect
By Oscar Fraley
UPI Staff Writer
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
(UPI I Young Charlie Keller
said today he doesn't mind it a
bit being the son of Kong.
King Kong, that is. Which is
what his father was known as in
the days he was one of tlie mighti
est of tlie New York Yankee fence
busters.
But no matter what the com
parisons, young Charlie said as he
put on Yankee Dannels for the
first time at the opening of tlie
New Y ork training camp, it s
something he has to do.
'Dad told me to do what it was
that 1 really wanted to do," ex
plained tlie 22-year-old husky from
Frederick, Md. "He said it's bet
ter to try it and fail than not to
try and regret it the rest of my
life."
It's been more -than a decade
since King hong lett Die Dig
leagues. A stocky man who ap
peared to have been hacked out
of granite, Keller's appearance
terrorized pitchers as they looked
down to the plate where he
crouched menacingly at bat. Then
came an operation for a ruptured
disc and, while he finished up at
Detroit, it never was the same so
he stepped out in 1951.
Raise Horses
"We raise harness horses, you
know, pacers and trotters, said
young Charlie. "We have about 35
head and the three of us. Dad
and I and my brother, Don, who
also is in tlie Yankee chain, hope
to enlarge it one of these days.
There would be. it might be sup
posed, a great deal of baseball
talk on tlie Keller farm.
"Not at all." grinned young
Charlie. "Mostly we talk about
horses."
A first baseman, King Kong's
son has all tlie equipment to make
it big "in a couple of years." ac
cording to Y'ankee general man
ager Roy Harney. Six feet, two
and one-half inches tall and
weighing a solid 191 pounds,
young Charlie has the same tiling
going for him that his dad had
a big bat.
"He's one of those real noncha
lant guys," said Harney analyti
cally. "He swings tlie bat real
eood and has fine power. He
doesn't have the arm for the out
field but that bat might carry him
quite a ways.
Starts Slowly
Y'oung Charlie, who has been
married three years and has a
two-year-old son. got off to a slow
start in organized ball because of
a bad back. He hit only .291 at
St. Petersburg In 1959 and then
in 1960 batted .304 tor fargo

'the right prescription for an ail
ing patient.
! One of the interesting points is
that each team is allowed a max
imum of just three players who
have ever signed a pro baseball
contract.
! Genna also made a pitch for
I the all-star baseball high school
series between state and metro
'. squads at the Eugene meet.
But directors decided to give
I Eugene one more try. Bend, how
I ever, is probably first on tlie list

gon State League.
still handicapped me some in I960
because I didn't have any power
but last year I felt that I was all
over tlie operation."
He should have. Because young
Charlie led the Eastern League at
Binghamton with 38 doubles and
17 triples and won the batting ti
tle with a .349 av erage. He rapped
out 19 home runs to boot.
'They're all too tense in the be
ginning, pointed out batting
coach Joe DiMaggio, who was a
teammate of Charlie's dad. "But
a kid like this has an even great
er load on him. That record he
had last season might set him on
fire."
But young Charlie isn't blaming
anything on the old man.
"Sure, tlie fans get on me once
in a while." he shrugged. "But I
don't pay it any attention. I do
the best I can. My dad broke in
with tlie Y'ankees in 1939, the
year I was born. But we're all a
new crop now and what our fa
thers did isn't going to help or
hinder us. It's strictly up to us."
The way he said it, you figured
that sooner or later the baseball
world is going to hear a lot about
tlie son of King.

'Low-pressure' pro grid
loop tries second year
CHICAGO UPI 'There is a
place for low pressure profession
al football, George Garetf. believes
and lie said today he expects to
find it with his United Football
League.
Gareff, commissioner of tlie in
fant circuit heading into its sec
ond year of operation with at
least eight teams, was here to
attend the ceremonial signing of
veteran Chicago Bears defensive
end Ed Sprinkle as coach of the
seventh UFL team, tlie Chicago
Bulls.
"Nobody made money last
year," Gareff said, "and I'd say
tlie average loss was $20,000. But
that's because I insisted on hus
band and wife accounting. How
much came in and how much went
out. No amortisation of funds.
Nothing for equipment. No daven
port you can use five years.
"I think maybe three or four
teams can make money or break
even this year, because their
equipment will be paid for."
Starts With Six
Gareff, a Columbus, Ohio, at
torney, said the UFL was his
idea and he sold the notion of a
franchise to six cities last year,
Columbus. Grand Rapids. Indian
apolis, Akron, Cleveland and Lou
isville. In addition to Chicago for
1962, Harrisburg, Pa., and Wheel
ing. W.Va., would be in tlie
league. "I don't think we can go
with more than 12 teams," he
said.
Chicago franchise holder Bob
Angus, who said he expected to
lose money this year, purchased
the UFL franchise for $5,000 and
like every other owner put up a
$5,000 "completion of the season"
bond and a $25,000 bond that he
wouldn't jump the league.

Angus, who has operated the
Chicago Hornets in the semi-pro
I'li-Statc League for two seasons,
said he applied for the UFL
franchise because he couldn't get
"an answer" from the American
Football League, to whom he
also applied.
"Joe Foss (AFL commissioner)
sent Angus to me," Gareff said.
"He also sent me tlie Harrisburg
Hershey people last September."
Three Avenues
Gareff said he believed his UFL
could go three ways become a
third major league, develop into
a farm system for tlie NFL and
tlie AFL. or remain an independ
ent minor league.
"We've sent 19 players tins
year up to the NFL or the AFL,"
Ihe said, "and there'll be more.
We use the NFL player contract
without an option clause, except
to the team he plays with.
There's no trading or selling of
players, and after one season tlie
player is a free agent if he can
make a deal with a major leagiu
team.
