V Sin -X tCV ABOUT A HALS INCW- TO VOUR R16WT HIP- tX V OLAI VKiVn Hard-Hit Coast League Faces Grim '51 Outlook By HAL WOOD (United Press Sports Writer) San Francisco, Aug. 21. ttJ.PJ The poor Pacific Coast baseball league, suffering Its greatest box office decline in history, drags into the final three weeks of play today with a dim future. With the pennant race just about decided as Seattle holds a seven game advantage; with Hollywood nearly sure of second place by virtue of a nine-game lead of third-place Los Angeles, there isn't much in the way of competition. And the fans are staying away in large numbers. On Sunday, for instance, only 20 661 went through the turns stiles to see the four games. The biggest crowd was at Los Angeles, where the Rainiers helped attract 9,871. Other at tendances were: San Francisco 3,820; San Diego, 3,781; and Sacramento, 3,189 which would be fairly respectable figures in a class D league. And the outlook isn't good for the remaining three weeks. Football is on the scene; hunting seasons are opening; and there appear to be a dozen other reasons why the 45-year-old PCL is doing poorly. One of these may be the talk of major league baseball that "may" hit the coast in the next few years. Although owners aren't optimistic, many fans are hopeful. And they bide their time by listening to major league broadcasts that blanket the west coast. On these they can hear the names of many of the stars who gained their first fame here such as Joe Di Magglo of the Yanks, Larry Jansen of the Giants and Orestes Minoso of the Chicago White Sox. The owners claim that If they still had names such as these on their west coast rosters that the fans would be flock ing to the games. Now they stay home and listen or watch on television. Be that as it may, the schedule will be played out for 1951 with nearly every club magnate los ing money every day. The draft will take place at the end of the season and the top player on each club probably will be mov ed up to the majors the same story that has been going on for years. Today's schedule, which will do well to draw a total of 10, 000 fans, resumes the same series as those staged over the week-end; Seattle at Los Angel es; Portland at San Francisco; Oakland at Sacramento and Hollywood at San Diego. Seattle Players Lead PCL Power and Pitch Divisions San Francisco, Aug. 21 u.R) Five reasons why Seattle's Rain iers are leading the Pacific coast league standings: k Earl Johnson, Al Lyons and Hestor Brown are the three top hurlers and Jim Rivera and 'Walt Judnick are the two top hitters. Brown leads the regular hur lers with 14 wins and six losses. Earl Johnson has a 7-1 record and Lyons 8-3. Rivera is batting .349 and Jud nich, .342. Bill Ayers it Oakland has the most victories, 19, against 12 de feats. Red Jones of San Diego Is tops in strikeouts with 217 on a record of 15-10. Manager Joe Gordon of Sacra menton leads in home runs with Turpin Confident Hell Take Sugar Ray in Rematch New York, Aug. 21 (P) Ran dolph Turpin, the British Ne gro who amazed the boxing world by defeating Sugar Ray. Robinson for the middleweight championship in London, ar rived yesterday for the return engagement, shyly confident of repeating his victory. "I intend to be 100 per cent fit and I have every intention of winning," said Turpin. Turpin and Robinson fight Sept. 12 at the Polo Grounds with an expected gate of $500, 000, which would be the largest in ring annals for a fight out side the heavyweight division. Turpin, who is broad shoul dered, speaks in a barely audible voice, smiles constantly, and turns his head so that his one good ear his left is toward his questioner. To repeat questions as to how he felt and what he intended to do, he always replied, "I'm easy," which is cockney for "it doesn't bother me." In his longest series of sen tences in one batch, Turpin had this to say about European and American boxing: "I think the European style is more effective than the American style. The Americans just punch. The Europeans take care of themselves going in and coming out. "The American hit you com ing in and hit you going out, but they don't cover themselves. Their defense is not as tight." Jerry Witte, former St. Louis Brown's first baseman, is lead ing the Texas league In home runs and runs batted in..

WARNER MOTOR CO. 430 N. Commercial St., Salem . I'd Like to Know... You may have heard that a suit has been filed by the Anti trust Division in Washington to break up Standard of California as well as six other West Coast oil companies. This action has prompted many inquiries about our methods and policies. We welcome these inquiries. We be lieve that the better you know us, the better you can under stand how we fit into the Amer ican system. We answer all letters individually, but some points seem of general interest. We take this way of discussing them for everyone. If you have a question, write: "I'd Like to Know" Standard Oil Company of California 225 Bush Street San Francisco 20, California "What happens when Standard men go into the armed forces?" One question on many people's minds these days is how military service may affect themselves or people they know. : : their jobs, their family security. People ask us, of course, about what happens to employees of Standard Oil Company of California. The answer shows what a big company Can do. Standard Oilers come through this trying period in better financial shape than you might expect: r v- - rW'; t ; ' I I. .... , .4- If 1 - ? a r m m 1 . W ) i - ifiw - "! Let's take for example Bill, en average young Standard Oiler. An a mechanic with the Company, he makes $368 a month. Among other benefits he has company-paid life insur ance worth $4,420 and a pension plan paid for partly by Standard, nartly by himself. Now, suppose BUI is called into the armed forces. One of the tough problems he might face is a lower income for his family. But, be cause Bill qualifies as to dependents and length of service with the Company, he'll be helped by a plan Standard has for him. When Bill leaves for active duty, he's given an extra month's salary. Then, every month, Standard sends his family a check to make up the difference between hiB military pay and his Company pay. These checks can amount to as much as naif his regular salary. Moreover, Bill's Company life insurance and pension are carried right along. The in surance is still paid for entirely by Standard. The pension, which Bill paid for in part while he was working, will continue to grow . . . and now Standard of California pays it all. When BUI comes back from military serv ice, his job is waiting and all his benefits are intact. He finds that Standard, having big economic resources, can and does act to pre serve the human resources of the nation . people like himself and bis family. this is Standard's "G. I. Policy" for ? tin lifted employers rallrd into the armed nrces.We believe it helps strengthen Com pany morale, and that of the nation, too another example of the fact that Standard serves you best by being big and integrated.
