Mulligan Counter Plan
Is Surprise to Maple
"Oh!" remarked Howard Maple when informed that
Wm. G. Mulligan, general manager of the Portland Beav
ers had stated that he would not consider any offer for
the Salem Senator franchise that did not incorporate Ad
Liska as player manager and George Emigh as business
manager.
"Liska is perfectly satisfactory to me," went on Maple.
"But Bill said nothing about Emigh when I discussed con
tractual terms with him."
Maple and a group of 11 Salem business and profes
sional men had drawn up an agreement late Wednesday
concerning the operation of the Salem ball club in the
Western International league for the 1950 season. The
group had contributed what was considered ample work
ing capital.
Mulligan said he would gladly hear the proposal, but
added:
"We signed Ad to manage the Senators and it would
be unfair to him to have a new group get someone else."
Mulligan made a similar reference to Emigh.

Proposes Law for Honest
Baseball Salary Yarns
By OSCAR FRALEY
(Unltod Press Sports Writer)
New York, Jan. 27 (U.BIn
the Interests of national home
life, fewer ulcers among the
male population and more pleas
ant relations between father and
child, Congress should pass a
law today enforcing baseball's
brass hats to publish the truth
about these fabulous diamond
salaries.
We are, at the moment, in the
throes of what is known as the
baseball contract signing and
lettuce-lying season. The Pur
ple Panthers announce the sign
ing of Outfielder Joe Glotz and
both coyly refuse to name a
price. Somehow it leaks out
anyhow with a few fantastic
thousands tacked on for good
measure.
Here Is a national menace
which outranks the Japanese
beetle, new hemlines, cata
clysmic coiffures and the
moking of corn silk mixed
with cabbage leaves. For
most of us are about as fa
miliar with that lovely green
pocket lettuce as we arc with
Sanskrit, nuclear physics or
Russian caviar particularly
when bound in such phoney
bundles.
So the repercussions start.
Tor instance, a fond father who
heretofore has regarded his mus
cular young scamp as a poten
tial All-America football play
er sees by the papers that Joe
diMaggio has signed for $100,
000. The kid is yanked behind
the barn to learn to throw a
curve ball or smack a nickel
rocket (now, naturally, costing
a quarter) Into the next acre.
The kid eventually hates
curves (baseball, that is), and
Pop's dreams are shattered
when he turns Into a checker
addict who blanches at the
bounce of a base hit.
It's even worse for frustrated
fathers whose offsprings are of
the opposite gender. This type
grouches about the roast beef
while glaring at his daughters
Mother is unhappy, the kids go
gaily off to the movies and the
old man is left alone with the
bills, his indigestion and diMag
fio's $100,000.
A little truthfulness and less
guess work would alleviate this
situation.
Baseball men are notorious
ly closer than a dead heat
when It comes to whipping-
out a wallet. Ball players
are particularly so, a social
set which considers a nickel
a fairly stupendous gratuity
for a waiter, so not too many
of them can be listed among
the nation's upper payroll
strata. But your magnate will
do almost anything to keep
down the bite.
The Yankees went to Ford
ham one day to offer Hank Bor-
owy a bonus. Borowy agreed
but Krichell had lo go dig up a
fountain pen. When he re
turned Borowy had raised the
ante $000. Krichell has carried
a pen ever since, showing you
to what lengths they'll go lo save
a lew dollars.
And, despite the increased
number ot athletes who actually
study, there are quite a few who
aren't mental marvels. There
was one player who was offered
31 hundred dollars to sign.
"Nothing doing," he said.
"I gel $3000 or I don't play."

Weakened Deer
Reported Dying
In Tillamook Area

Government Trapper Douglas
Jones and U.S. Forester Mer
vin Whitmore of Hebo, Ore.,
today were concerned about
dying and weakened deer in
the Tillamook burn area of
Oregon.
Both outdoorsmen said two
severe winters in a row had
weakened the animals and
advised that the burn be clos

deer a chance to increase in
number and Improve their
health.
Both men stated that hun
dreds of dying and dead deer
were seen throughout the
area when they made a sur

find out if coyotes were kill
ing the weakened deer. They
said they found more weaken
ed deer in the Wilson river
area than they did around the
Trask river.

in the YMCA pool Thursday af
ternoon. He barely put a ripple
in the water as he went through
a portion of his repertoire. I
Mohawk lives up to his bill
ing as "the human seal." His
under water stints are done
with no apparent effort, and
he does a creditable imitation
of a seal swimming at times. -He
rolls and turns under the
surface in the same manner
as a seal.
His novelty stunts include
swimming upside down, with his
head near the bottom of the
pool and his feet near the sur
face. He also does a stunt where
he pretends to sleep on the wa
ter, even to stretching his arms
and turning over occasionally.
