When the 1945 Pacific Coast
league baseball season gets un
der way some three months
hence, the fans will get a look
at some of the most-drastically
renovated teams In the history
of the league.
Old time David Harums, busy
iwaooing. buying and selling
diamond Ivory Jn the wake of
last year's greatest financial sea
son at the gate, have Just about
completely changed the person
nel of their teams.
Of course, the baseball draft
had a lot to do with taking the
cream of the crop after the ma
jor sales, but there also has been
a major business between club
owners In the league, a survey
reveals.

SPORTS HIT BY
TRAVEL BAN AND
4-F'S ON WAR JOB
New York, Jan. 6 U. The
first week of the new year was
one of the bleakest In sport
wartime history and Indications
tonight were that the end of the
bad news for the industry is
not yet In sight.
Three things combined to
make this week anything but
hopeful for the future of war
time sports. All horse, harness
and dog tracks closed In com
pliance with a government re
quest; President Roosevelt and
War Mobilization Director
James F. Byrnes began a cam
paign to get 4-F's Into war work
and restrictions were suggested
for convention -gatherings.
. A hopeful development of the
week, however, was Byrnes'
statement that he was hot con
sidering any action against base
ball and football such as he
took against animal racing.
The 4-F proposal was of Im
mediate concern to sports lead
ers, but in the long run the con
vention restrictions may mean
as much unless the transporta
tion crisis eases before the
spring training season for base
ball opens in March.

when each collected a basket.
That three point deficit was as
close as the Grizzlies came to
Medford, with the exception of
the first few opening minutes.
Riggs whipped in a cripple
which started a Tornado scoring
spree that saw Fawcett score
three baskets, Riggs another and
Hayes a free toss to run the
count to 22 to 8 before Reedy
put through a gift shot to make
it 22-9. Watson scored from
close in to make the score 24
to 9, Medford, at the halfway
mark.

with Samuelson making a long
push shot. Reedy sneaking in
under the 'basket for another,
samuelson one from the corner.
and Dommle Provost whipped in

Los Angeles, Jan. 6. U.R)
Harold "Jug" McSpaden, Phila
delphian who ranked second
among golf's money winners i:
on the 18th hole to tie Ran
1944, today sank a 10-foot putt
Mangrum of Los Angeles for the
lead in the $13,333 Los Angeles
open at the end of the second
round. Both had 36-hole totals
of 140, two strokes under par.
With only a few top players
still out on the rolling green
fairways and knocking through
the woods of the Riviera Coun
try club ' course, Mangrum's
early lead had seemed secure.
The pressure was on McSpa
den as he came to the 18th, with
practically all of the 19th an
nual Los Angeles open's 3,000
spectators watching him. This
didn't bother him as he calmly
lined up his shot and holed out
to climb onto the ton rung with
Mangrum. McSpaden is defend
ing champion.

EUREKA LOGGERS
EOR EIGHTH WIN
Fawcett Paces Medford by
Scoring 13 Points Fast
Break Outruns Opponents
By Pvt. Nad Liebman
Medford High's fast stepping
basketball quint continued on
their merry way Saturday night
at the expense of Eureka high
school, 39-26. .
It was the eighth strlight win
for the Tornado, while the in
vading Loggers suffered their
first setback in seven starts.
Little Dick Fawcett kept up
his scoring pace punishing the
hoop for 13 markers, 11 of them
coming in the last half, where
they were needed most. Jay Wll
lard's Loggers made a close
game of it for three quarters,
but lacked the necessary punch
to close the huge gap' the Tor
nado built up, scoring only 13
points to the home team's 20
the last half.
Using all men in uniform, Al
Simpson, Medford coach, work
ed the firehorse fast break to
perfection, numerous baskets
coming on fast breaking plays
that found the Loggers far down
the floor and away from the
basket. Eureka's five men who
played the whole game were
visibly tired as the last period
started, and their continual long
shots were having trouble find
ing the hemp.
Fawcett's 13 points lead the
scoring parade with Jerry Ross
close on his heels with 9. Cliff
Mitchell, Logger long shot ex
pert, found the hoop for 12
points, to lead his squad in that
department.
In the opening game the Med
ford "B" squad outlasted the
Eureka second team, 44-31 with
Earl Stelle, Tornado forward,
swishing 12 points.
