"Two Teams Apply
For Franchises
In Hockey League
Seattle, May 1 U.R) San
Bernardino, Cal., and Hollywood
appeared as likely additions to
the Pacific Coast Hockey league
southern division today as the
league's board of directors met
to act on their applications for
franchise.
The southern sector currently
stood at three members. How
ever, as George J. Campbell
pulled his team out of the cir
cuit for one year, Leage Presi
dent G. A. (Al) Leader an
nounced. The San Bernardino and Hol
lywood applications were put
forward respectively by George
Kipp and jack Dcmpsey. And
the presence of these men
touched off speculation that the
league would divide into two
separate entities.

Detroit, May 1 U.B Dick
Wakefield, an outfielder tempo
rarily without a ball club,
. vowed today not to return to the
New York Yankees, who touch
ed off a major rhubarb by trad

Baseball's problem child was
equally emphatic about shun
ning the Chicago White Sox,
who bought him Friday, unless
they restore the $5,000 Yankee
cut he took from his 1049 De
troit salary.
The Sox themselves said the
deal was off. But General Mana
ger Frank Lake announced he
might "reconsider" if Wake
field relents and agrees to take
the pay his contract provides.

wailed, "so I settled the whole
thing with a battle royal."
When the mat impressario an
nounced his free-for-all plans,
Buck Davidson, who had sought
a bout with Wallick. took off for
other parts and Pete Belcastro,
also after a match with the Chi
cago pile driver, was holding out,
claiming he wasn't in favor of
a battle royal.
However, Lillard said he has
signed Eddie Williams, a sensa
tional Scotch matman who has
been a great favorite in north
west rings for several months,
for his initial showing here.
Besides Wallick and Williams,
others in the melee will be Ted
Bell, Brooklyn; Charley Carr,
Shrevcport, La., and Norval
Stockstill, Ashland's wrestling
policeman.
Lilliird said he was working
on Belcastro to make the sixth
man but if the Weed Assassin
didn't take the match, some other
outstanding junior heavyweight
would be signed.
Three regulation matches will
follow the battle royal with pair
ings to be decided in order of
elimination.

Business Manager Mel Car
penter of the Medford Rogues
turned a pleading eye to ihe
weatherman today and was
told by Bob Church, keeper
of the local weather bureau,
that the outlook for tomor
row night's opener with
Marysville was favorable.
Church said the forecast
was for showers tonight with
clearing tomorrow. There
probably will be some show
ers around the edges. Church
said, with the possibility that
one or two of them may drift
across the valley but the rain
fall was expected to be light
and would soak in.
"The chart shows that it
will be 'play ball' tomorrow
night," Church said.
