Angels Hope
For Return
Of Conners
San Francisco (U.Ri ' Kevin
(Chuck) Connors, an interesting
character with a list ot varied
accomplishments, crossed h i s
fingers Monday while awaiting
the word which could put him
back into the Los Angeles line
up. He was to expose his Injured
shoulder to a group of medical
experts.
Minus Connors, Lo Angeles
split with Seattle Sunday, win
ning tfie first game, 8-7 in 12
innings, on Les Peden's homer,
and dropping the second, 7-6,
when Seattle scored three times
in the seventh. The Suds took
the series, 5-2.
Portland Beaten
Oakland, with Allen Gettel
and Hal Gregg, two stylish right
handers pitching, two-timed
Portland, 5-3 arid 2-0, for a 6-1
series victory. San Diego clipped
the Seals in 16, 4-3, but lost to
San Francisco in the second
game, 7-4. The Pads won the
week's work, 5-2.
First baseman Connors appar
ently is the fork to which the
Angels' success is tuned. With
the big, long-legged lefthander
in the lineup, Los Angeles
threatened to make a joke of the
Pacific Coast league race. Three
weks ago he slipped and in
jured his left shoulder.
Then Los Angeles went Into
seml-tailspin.
In a twin-night bill, poor Sac
ramento fielding got Hollywood
a 4-2 win in the short opener,
but the Solons roared back with
vengeance to defeat star ace
Harrv Fisher, 6-0.

Promoter Hopes
To Close Deal
For 'Big Match'
New York (U.R) Promoter
Jim Norris hoped to close the
"big match" between champions
Joey Maxim and Sugar Ray Rob
inson Monday, deadline for the
drawn-out, off-again, on-a gain
negotiations.
"I'm still optimistic," said
Norris as he awaited final word
from Robinson regarding the
proposed 15-rounder at Yankee
stadium, June 23.
Reluctant
Middleweight champion Robin
son has been reluctant to accept
the fight although his 160-pound
title would not be at stake. Light
heavy-weight ruler Maxim of
Cleveland would be risking his
175-pound crown.
Slender Ray has demanded the
lion's share of the loot 37V4 per
cent of the net receipts to 22 Vi
for Maxim.
Moreover, Robinson has asked
that Norris arrange clearance
with the various boxing commis
sions so that he will not have to
give up his middleweight crown
in case he wins the light-heavy
diadem from Maxim. Robinson
claims he is too small to cam
paign as a 175-pounder.

Hits Hard in
Solon Debut
Washington, D. C. (U.R) It
looks like Manager Bucky Har
ris of the Washington Senators
has acquired the Major league's
fastest young outfield in the
two week-end deals with the
Yankees and White Sox.
Off their first-day perform
ance with the Senators, Harris is
tickled with Jackie Jensen and
Archie Wilson obtained from
the Yankees and Jim Busby
from the White Sox.
Speedy Array
Harris has a right to challenge
anyone to produce a speedier
outfield array than those three
added to veteran Gil Coan, who
long has been regarded one of
the American league's fastest
fliers.
Wilson, who was the most val
uable player in the International
league last season, collected five
hits, including a double- and a
triple, and Jensen four as the
Senators trimmed the St. Louis
Browns Sunday in a double
header, 2-1 and 15-7, to climb
into third place in the American
league race.
Busby, the league's runnerup
to Orestes Minoso of the White
Sox is base stealing last year
with 26, played only the second
game and made two hits, driving
in a pair of runs.
Jensen and Wilson came to
the Senators Saturday' along
with pitcher Fran (Spec) Shea
end minor league infielder Jerry
Snyder in a deal that sent out
fielder Irv Noren and infielder
Tommy Upton to the Yankees.
Upton immediately was sent to
the Yankees' Kansas City farm
club.
Busby and Mel Holdcrlein
came to the Senators a few
hours later from the White Sox
in exchange for outfielder Sam
Mele.

Chicago Coal Mine
Has Satety Record
Chicago (U.R) Chicago boasts
the only coal mine in the United
States that's 'never had an ex
plosion, a cave-in, a strike or an
accident in its 19 years of opera
tion. While real miners run ii they
don't get paid to mine coal. The
mine is an exhibit in the base

Mining operations are run by
eight retired miners who still
hold their UMW union cards but
don't pay any dues.
The mine stays open every day

men say they are being swamped
by requests from would-be Euro
pean immigrants who want to
settle on the booming island.
The requests, coming from
Britain, France, Germany, Hol
land and Belgium, all carry the
same plea.
The sender wants help from
Premier Joseph Smallwood's
government to cut the immigra
tion red tape. All have digested
the publicity in Europe for New
foundland's multi-million dollar
economic development program.
To those from war-ravaged coun
tries, Canada's 10th province
represented the land of milk and
honey.
Most of the requests, the gov
ernment said, had to be ignored.
Even the ever-increasing num
ber of immigrants who reached
Canada every month weren't be
ing encouraged to settle in New
foundland unless they could
work as Instructors, helping na
tive residents acquire technical
skills. The government pointed
out that, despite the fact that
new industries sprang up all
over the island in 1951 and
were scheduled to do so again
this year, jobs were at a premium.

came out of mines in Southern
Illinois and was given to the mu

The equipment in the mine
was donated by manufacturers

Baghdad, Iraq (U.R) The

The deadly locust began ap

the end of February and they
since have been coming in ever
increasing clouds.
Campaign Is Vigorous
Now, a vigorous campaign
against the scavengers of crops
and fertile lands is under way
in the remote provinces of Bas
rah and Muntafi. Crews have
been alerted elsewhere, for the
plague is expected to spread
through Amarah, Kut, Kerbala
and Hlllah.
"Daytime operations are an
endless chase" an expert said.
"A swarm is located, its position
given to us and we proceed im
mediately to deal with it but
when we get to the site we find
it has already moved off."
So far, 28 killer-units have
been sent to southern Iraq and
the agriculture director-general,
Sayid Darwosh al-Haidari, has
ordered another 20 units to be
held in reserve.
In each unit are 10 men and a
jeep, accompanied by trucks
