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.
In all probability Central Point
high school will be classed as an
"A" Institution when the second
semester and basketball season rolls
around . . . when and If It Is. the
district 9 casaba loop, now Includ
ing Medford, Ashlsnd and Grants
Pass, will receive a new member
. . . H. P. Jeweit, C. P. achool super.
Intendent, said that If Central Point
high had 100 students enrolled by
November 1, It would automatically
become a class A achool, which
won't hurt the feelings of the other
county class B acnools, considerably
smnller In basketball manpower . . .
Several e-Medford hlRh athletes
have left for what they hope will
be sparkling college careers . , , In
addition to Caplea and Bowmsn to
OreRon. we see Shorty Campbell, the
pase-slinglng ex-Tl-r fullback, trsv
