Portland. Ore.. Jan. 26 (U.R)
A Stockton, Cal., attorney, C. M.
Cunningham, said here today he
hoped to buy the Portland Mead

In order to set up harness rac

by the First National bank of
Portland against the track Mon
day for $441,000 of a $481,000
mortgage in arrears.
Cunningham said he was rep
resenting a group of California
businessmen who want Portland
Meadows for their harness rac
ing hobby. He said the business
men were wililng to pay the
bank only what it had coming on
the mortgage or less.
. "Otherwise the track can just
sit there," Cunningham said.
' Cunningham said he thought
harness racing would be success
ful at the track because "the
profit motive is not a factor."
Although running races would
be held, he added, the emphasis
would be on harness racing.

Jacksonville has appeared hot
and cold however, and on a
given night will give any team
in the league a run for its
money. Its last outing resulted
in a one-point loss to the strong
Butte Falls aggregation in the
second overtime period.
Donkeys Take Over
At about 9 p.m. the donkeys
take over. The Jacksonville

game with the town team. Last

Dragging the recalcitrant don

work but it's easy to get, and a

may find many differences.
All profit from the games go

Fire Trapped
North Tonawanda, N. Y., Jan.
26 (U.R) Stan Rojek, baseball's
"Hairbreath Harry," said today
"he saw the handwriting on the
wall" when he was trapped in
a flaming milk truck.
The 29-year-old Pittsburgh
shortstop had his latest brush
with death yesterday when his
younger brother, Ted, rescued
him from the burning truck.
The Rojeks were delivering milk
for their family's dairy when the
truck caught fire and Stan fell
unconscious.
It was nothing new for Rojek.
Last May he was almost killed
when he was beaned by Rookie
Ken Johnson of the St. Louis
Cardinals in a night game. He
was unconscious for almost 30
minutes and in the hospital for
several days.
. "I'll be back on the milk route
again tomorrow," Rojek said to
day. "I'd be back on the truck
again today but the way we
work it. is one day on and the
next day off."

Salem Club
Sale Talked
By Business
Salem, Ore., Jan. 26 :U.PJ
Twelve Salem business and pro
fessional men have reopened ne
gotiations to buy the Salem Sen
ators baseball club from the
Portland Beavers.
The group, headed by Howard
Maple, met Wednesday and draw
up an offer that has been sub
mitted to Bill Mulligan, general
manager of the Portland-Salem
club.
The offer, mailed to Mulligan,
was not disclosed in detail. If
the offer is accepted, the group
will form a corporation and take
over immediate operation of the
club.
Enough Money Ready
As spokesman for the group,
Maple said:
"We have enough money to
swing the deal, if Mulligan will
accept it. The men In the group
have gone over each point of the
offer carefully and believe it to
be a good one."
Other attempts to buy the
Senators club by local interests
have fallen through because the
offers did not include enough
money to interest the Beavers.
Yanks Ponder
'First' Post ,
New York, Jan. 26 (U.R)
Merrily signing their world
champion stars with nary a
mumble of dissatisfaction, the
New. York Yankees turned to
lineup problems today and came
upon that perennial headache at
first base.
The Yanks always have first
basemen In one or two quanti
ties too many or not enough.
Casey Stencel hoped that this
will be a too-many season.
With Rookie Joe Collins the
latest to approve his contract for
1950, the Yanks have these can
didates for the first base Job
Collins. Tommy Henrich, Fen
ton Mole and Johnny Mize.
The list is impressive at first,
until the fan reflects upon the
headaches of 1949.
In the first place, Henrich Is
the only man who could be con
sidered the team's "regular" first
baseman and Stengel does not
want to play him the position at
all. He wants hard-hitting Tom
my in the outfield.

Constitutionality Of
Stock Inspection Law
Sought By Packers
Portland, Ore., Jan. 26 (U.R)
Two large meat packing firms,
Swift & Co. and Armour & Co.,
have asked presiding Circuit
Court Judge Walter L. Tooze for
a declaratory Judgment to deter
mine whether the demand for In
spection of livestock shipped into
Oregon is constitutional.
The inspection demand was
made by Ervin L. Peterson,
state agriculture department di
rector. Peterson's order includes
inspection and payment of fees
for livestock already inspected
for brand and ownership In an
other state.
Peterson said his recent order
comes under the state brand in
spection law meant to stop dis
posal of stolen livestock. The
two meat companies contend
Peterson's demands Interfere
with interstate commerce and
that inspection of meat in other
states determines ownership.

forever from gear shift and clutch pedall
And nothing, you will also discover, could be easier than Lincoln's
new velvet-touch steering. ..or more comfortable than its new weather
control system... or more restful than its new Fiberglas soundproofing
...or more relaxing than the wonderfully soft Lincoln springing.
