SEALS PRESIDENT SEES BIG LEAGUE STATUS BY 1949 Han Francisco, Dec. 14 (U.R) Major league status for the Paci fic coast baseball' circuit is "certainty" within two or three years, Charles H. Graham, presi dent of the San Francisco Seals said today. . Rejection of the coast's 1945 major league bid was a "severe setback but only temporary. Graham declared, returning from the majors convention in the east. Bit Premature "Perhaps we were a bit pre mature," he said, "but we will make major status by 1949 sure In 1948 we will achieve our original objective we will not accept the drafting of our play ers. We will start 1949 as a free, unhampered league, a big league. Graham said he thought a lack of adequate ball parks hindered the coast's try for the big-time this year. The parks can be brought up to mnjor league standards by 1948, however, he pointed out, and then "nothing can stand in the way. Reception Pleases The Seals president was pleas ed with the reception the major leagues gave the coast's pro posal, stating he expected the Pacific Coast league to accept the majors' offer of a joint com mission to consider future plans. The next PCL meeting will be at San Diego next January "The majors offered us their fullest cooperation when, and if, we can show them that we are ready for major league status," Graham said. PETE LOSES TO JONES ON FOUL Sport Chips BY f I'M'-' ''U I Harry Chipman Mall Tribune Sports Editor Those with a fish appetite for the week-end should best go to the butcher shop, says Al Piche about angling conditions in streams hereabouts. Steelhead fishing In the Rogue river has dropped off during the past week because of low water and cold weath er. A few fish have been caught each day on skein eggs, Piche says, with best results obtained by boat fishing In the river near Grants Pass. Fish taken have been averag ing about six pounds. Largest fish entered in the Grants Pass Steelhead Derby lipped the scales to eight pounds, Piche said he was told, with many other large fish also being entered. Rogue river fishing closes Jan. IS so winter fishermen will have to hurry to get their fill of the sport. Steelhead angling in the Illi nois river is not up to snuff, the worm and hook specialist re ports, but should improve with the next rise In the water since many fish are reported around the mouth of the river.

"YOUR WORLD BICYCLE STORE" Phone 3472 Pete Belcastro's demands for a now referee and the fact that he had to give up a large per centage of his purse to get the match, all went for naught last night when Rough Rufus Jones defeated the Weed Assassin In two straight falls In the main vent of the Medford armory wrestling matches. It all came about when Bel- eastro, behind one fall because of head butts and a half crab gained by Jones in the second round, wouldn't relon.se a deadly surfboard hold. Referee Norval Stockstlll gave Belcastro every chance but Pete, being certain that Jones wouldn't come back, held on too long and lost the match on a foul. "Blood and Guts" Davidson gave the Gray Mask a thorough going-over for the biggest part of four rounds and was ahead one fall to none when the Mask dropped him over the ropes in the last part of the fourth canto, Injuring him so that he was unable to continue. 1 Angelo Martlnelll came lip with a body press in the third round to lick Ben Sherman in the opener, one of the sweetest matches hereabouts in long while.
