Medford, Tribunb SfffilfS Mail Tribune Shoot On Saturday, Sunday Baseball Owner Profits Small, Washington (U.R) Organized baseball told Congress Friday that the game is a poor business for the owners but a good one for the players, whose average wage Is four times that of work ers in other Industries. Paul A. Porter, baseball's spec ial counsel, claimed in a letter published by the House Monop oly subcommittee that tne sport's profits are "trivial . . . infinitesimal . . . and virtually negligible," for the owners. Porter contrasted salaries and bonuses paid Investors and ball players in 1950 to show that while the Investors' share was "virtually negligible," the play, ers had "remarkably remunera tive occupations" when compar ed with other industries. Seven Teams Lose Porter said seven of the 16 ma jor league teams operated at a loss in 1950. With $31,541,000 in vested in the 16 clubs, he said Investors received $775,000 In salaries and bonuses for an "in finitesimal" 1.5 per cent return. When minor league clubs are in cluded, he said the investors' re turn on baseball's 1950 gross re ceipts of $55,000,000 was "pitifully small" 0.4 per cent. In contrast, Porter said major league players were paid $5,890, 000 In 1950, while those who took part in the world series col lected another $485,000. He pointed out that the aver age salary for each major league player in 1950 was $13,842, while trie average 10 years ago was $7,306. The average in all other industries was $3,024 in 1950 and $1,269 in 1939.

A product of errant or unwill ing pitchers, the walk has been the scourge of managers since the Inception of the diamond sport. Fines or Farms Some skippers have slapped fines on pitchers for issuing passes to batters. Others have shunted the guilty to far off farm clubs, or worse, to the Ignominy of the practice cage. Trying to be too cute, some pitchers issua Annie Oakleys by missing the corners. That hap pened, disastrously, In the PCL Thursday night. Others, their control in the locker room, Just can't find the fnt part of the dish. The cute pitcher was Seattle's Earl Johnson, who had set Snn Francisco down one-two-three in three frames of relief work and nursed a one-run lead in the ninth. Two Score Ray Hamrick legged out a cheap Infield hit, and, with two out, Johnson tried to be coy with Len Ratio, a 232 stroker. Ratto, the potential winning run, was walked. Both he and Ham rick scored on Jim Moran's bun bounce double and the Seals beat Seattle, 5-4. Oakland pitcher Bill Ayers walked two men to force in the tying run and his relief, MUo Candlni, passed Al White on four pitches to push home the winning one as Sacramento nip ped the Oaks, 3-2. In other games, homers by Ron Northey and Max West enr rled Los Angeles by Snn Diego, S-4, and Hollywood, on four-masters by Red Benrden and Chuck Stevens, measured Portland, 6-4 nir, i.iNesrnitKS: fat1lr . 020 002 000 4 11 9 Sn rranrHroOU 000 0021 ft C Klnrisfathf r.
