Sport Briefs
By Mark Seeley
After the championship has been
decided in any league race for an
athletic honor, it is usually the cus­
tom to select from ths various teams
a mythical all-star aggregation. Many
of these are chosen by newspapermen,
while coacjies and managers also
make a bid now and then. The latter,
however, are generally rather stingy
in letting their sage ideas be known,
but the Sentinel, neverthless, has pre­
vailed upon Bill Fortier to allow the
publishing of his star selection of the
performer* in the Southern Oregon
Coast League. Here it is in batting
order:
Pulford, Coquille, left field;
Chapman, North Bend, second base;
Stewart, Coquille, short stop; Roper,
Coquille, right field! Tyiberg, North
Bend, center field; Buzzard, North
Bend, catcher; Davis, Coquille, first
sa*e; Gilbert, Coquille, pitcher; Stan­
ley, North Bend, pitcher, Fischer, Co-
;uiUe, utility; Adams, North Bend,
utility.
In explaining about hi* team Man­
ager Fortier said that he considered
,nly players of the teams that had fln-
ohed the season^ thus eliminating
Marshfield and Gold Beach. He also
tressed the fact that the player* he
had chosen looked the best to him in
he limited times he saw a number of
he various individuals, and that
>thers may differ with him, his selec­
tion not being above changes by selec­
tor*.

SECRETARY OF STATE HOSS INSISTS THAT AU­
TOMOBILE OWNERS ARE ENTITLED TO LOWER LI­
CENSE FEES. We agree with him but also believe that
the license fees now imposed on small privately owned
trucks should be reduced.
WHY?
Because, for years, automobiles and small trucks have
been carrying the load of highway construction and main­
tenance, while the heavy truck and trailer freight outfits,
operating for compensation and hogging and destroying our
roads, have been escaping with ridiculously low fees.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932, the state col­
lected, in license and mileage fees, $6,548,000.
Of this
amount the freighters (Classes 4 and 7), nearly 3000 in
number, paid but $300,000 or around $100 per vehicle for
the year.
In the year 1931 the State Highway Commission was
obliged to spend over $7,000,000.00 for reconstruction, bet­
terments and maintenance—burdens imposed largely by
the operations of heavy vehicles.
Our proposed Highway Protection Law makes it the
duty of the State Highway Commission to classify all traffic
on our highways, determine the burden imposed by each
and make recommendations to the Governor for a re-distri­
bution of all license and mileage fees.
WHEN THIS IS DONE LOWER LICENSE FEES
FOR AUTOMOBILES AND SMALL TRUCKS SHOULD
FOLLOW.
