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.

Hell Take Sugar

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."

. 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:

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.
