Win from Angels
Los Angeles (U.R) The
Sacramento Solons out hit Los
Angeles 6 to 3 Saturday for their
fourth straight Pacific Coast
league win over the Angels and
a clincher on the seven game

Solons in the fifth frame when
he tripled and came in on Dil

Johnny Brat ton
Edges Flanagan
New York (U.R) Johnny
Bratton of Chicago was still a
contender for the welterweight
crown Saturday because of his
split decision over Del Flanagan
but his next two bouts will be
with middleweights.
Dusky Bratton, former NBA
welter champ, won a split iu
round decision over speedy Flan
agan of St. Paul, Minn., at Madi
son Square Garden Friday night
by the narrow margin of two
points.
During the mediocre bout
Bratton suffered no injuries that
might prevent his meeting mid

One Mark Broken
Although the meet was held
under ideal conditions on Hay-
ward field, only one major rec
ord was broken.
Sim Iness, USC's 6 foot, 6
inch, 230 pound giant, tossed the
discus 183 feet. 5V Inches, to
better the American and the Am
erican collegiate records. Iness,
however, made his record-break
ing toss in the preliminaries Fri
day. He didn't come within sev
eral feet of his previous mark
Saturday.
Iness' toss Friday bettered the
American collegiate record of
178 feet, 11V4 inches set in 1948
by Fortune Gordien of Minne
sota and the American amateur
record of 180 feet, 2 34 inches
set by Bob Fitch of Minnesota
in 1946.
The Troian star's toss was
short of the world's record of
186 feet. 11 inches which still
is held by Gordien
Iness' record toss originally
was announced as 183 feet, 5V4
inches. However, official meas
urement showed it was 183 feet,
514 inches.
One of the major upsets was
in the javelin throw. Ralph Sut
ton of Oregon state tossed the
spear 224 feet, 2V4 inches to
ton the meet favorite, Chuck
Missfeldt of Oregon whose best
heave was 223 feet, 10 inches
Until Saturday Missfeldt had
the best mark in the conference
Also dissappointing to the
6000 fans who sat in 89 degree
weather to witness the meet was
the performance of George
Brown, UCLA s ace broad jump
er. Brown, who has a mark of
27 feet, 3Vi inches, only five
Inches off the world's record
won his specialty, but in the so-
so distance of 24 feet, 9V4 inch-

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Congressmen Decide They Will
Leave Organized Baseball Alone
By VINCENT J. BURKE
Washington U.R) After
10 months of investigation, Con
gress has decided to leave base
ball alone.
The House Monopoly sub-committee,
making its formal report,
was unanimous in its decision to
reject any legislation which
would make baseball exempt
from the federal anti-trust laws.
The key to the probe was the
reserve clause. This part of a
player's contract ties him to one
club for life, unless the club it
self decides to sell him. The
sub-committee decided that
"some form" of a reserve clause
is necessary to keep baseball
operating "profitably." But its
232-page report said baseball
"should work out its own solu
tions to the problems confronting
it."
The only thing concrete to
come out of the hearing was a
suggestion that big league ball
should extend west of the Mis
sissippi River.
This was contained in a sepa
rate statement by Rep. Emanuel
Cellar (D.-N.Y.), chairman of the
investigating group. He pointed
out that the third largest city
in the U. S., Los Angeles, does
not have major league baseball
while the 15th largest city, Cin
cinnati, does.
The committee report saw two
sides to everything. For exam
ple, the report said baseball's
operating rules "would be en
tirely inappropriate in an or
dintry industry." Then it added
"baseball is a unique industry"
in which co-operation between
the clubs is needed "to the
maintenance of honest and vigor
ous competition on the playing
field."

Its a good thing to remember in
Sunday traffic ... or any traffic.
If you automatically take it for
granted that the driver of the other

wheel . . . you'll naturally take
fewer chances in your driving.
The Doc states that these phy-

blustering good humor all the
time. So if you mix your moods
with a few up and down emotions
you're probably sound as a silver
dollar. And if you're not, you no
doubt think all the rest of the world
is nuts ... so everything Is still
all right. Anyway, your chances are
15-to-1.
Don't let all this talk scare you
from a Sunday drive . . . just take
it for a safety tip. There's a lot of
power in any automobile. To play
it safe, keep this power under your
control . . . and then you're pre
