MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1939 PAGE TWO Sport Graphs " Billy Hulen says: Shader See Fine Chance for Class D Loop in State H there were several gentlemen like Mickey Shader scattered through, oat Oregon key clttee, thli eute would toae eml-pro baseball out the -Inflow end go lor the profes sional, or organized, variety o quick the die-hard, bueh league mogule wouldn't have time to aay "It can't be done," -which phraee they have been mouthing for a alckenlng num ber of yeara. Here In Medford conducting the annual Cincinnati Redi baeeball try out camp for young hopefule, Bhader alnoerely bellevea that Oregon, with lta eevera! towne of fairly large popu lation within eaay traveling distance f each other, ahould and eould pro duce aa fine a claaa D profeaslonal league aa there U In the country. Shader. who hae been connected with many minor league teama of class D rating and who knowe about auch thlnga. cited aome lntereatlng figures concerning the operation of a team of that classification. For Instance, he atated, It ooata from 10,000 to aia.000 a year to operate u .lass O club, this figure Including salaries, traveling expenses, park upkeep, uniforms and equipment. He estimated conservatively that a club In a town the sue of Medford should draw 40,000 ' apectatora a season at borne, Aa ' most class D schedules Include . . 120 gamea a season, 60 at home and 00 on the road, this would figure an average of 808 fans per game. With night baseball, Mickey said ha didn't aea how Medford could mill pulling In that many rustomera. Still using that estimated 40,000 total attendance flgu... j.iader then pointed, out that the total boi of fice "take" for the season would be 1S.0O0, based on ail-cent bleacher and 40-ccnt grandstand tloket . rlcea. the average being 82 centa. This estimated 13,000 "take," he emphasized, would be only money taken In at the gate at home, and wouldn't Include the payolf Med ford's club v.uld receive on the road, p ' j 06 per cpnt, nor other lucra tive negotiations. Of these latter ho mentioned pro-season sale of box aeata to local fans, ..using of con cession rights to a national com pany (which ahould bring 18000 on the line, he aald) and sale of adver tising rls'ats at the ball park. Shader aald that even though Ms estimated 40,000 attendance per season was a eonsorvstlvo figure, based on attendance to 1 tula of other class D clubs throughout the nation, a team In Medford could draw even less tltsn that number and still show a profit for the year. If the town . hit 40,000 or mote, a very neat sum of money would be realized, . he pointed out. Towna mentioned by the Olncy scout aa most likely to be Inter ested In ths form. . .- of a class O loop were. In addition to Medford. Klamath Falls, Bend. Eugene, Albany, Corvallls and Grants Pass. He said that Bllverton, although already equipped with a fins lighting sys tem, seemed to be too well satisfied with their semi-pro team to go for a club In an organised league.
