XL lit MEDFOBD (OHEGOK) MAIL TaUBXTsTE QfTEsT Veeck Says No Coast Park Ready for Big League Ball V l .. .a a f Br HAL WOOD San Francisco U.PJ The talk about bringing major league baseball to the West Coast is a "tempest in a teapot," Bill Veeck, owner of the St. Louis Browns said today after com pleting a two city survey of Pa cific Coast possibilities. - "There isn't a ball park ready for major league baseball on the West Coast," Veeck said, "and until there is, I cant' see how there can be much talk of mov ing an American league fran chise here." To Report to League "However," he said, you must remember that I am visit ing many cities and no conclu sion has been reached yet. I must report to an American league committee my findings. Until that time, there can be no possible decision made." In Chicago Vice-President Charles Comiskey of the Chica go White Sox announced that Veeck had been authorized by a committee composed of himself, Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox and Walter Briggs of the Detroit Tigers, to hunt for a new location for the Browns. Seals Stadium Deal Baltimore, now in the Interna tional league, apparently has first call on the proposed move. However, Veeck admitted that he was not overlooking any pos sibilities. Veeck headed today for Los Angeles and further talks with officials there. Both Veeck and Paul Fagan, owner of the San Francisco Seals stadium, denied having reached any agreement on sale of the ball park, or even to hav ing conferred with each other. However, from city hall spokes men it was learned that a "ten tative agreement" had been reached upon the sale price of the concrete arena which seats 22,500 and could easily be en larged to handle crowds of about 30,000.

Kid Gavilan, boxing's master showman, climbs through the ropes at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night and if he wins he will be a legitimate middle weight challenger, if he loses, he will be a welterweight champion with nowhere to go. There have been whispers along the fight beat for some time that the Keed is slipping.. Tough Opponent This one will tell the story. For he will go up against Ralph (Tiger) Jones, sixth ranking mid dleweight who posted one of the major upsets of 1952 by beating tough Johnny Bratton. The Keed must win this one if his ambitions are to be realized. Those dreams are to duplicate the feat of Ray Robinson, win ning first the welterweight title and then moving up to become middleweight champ. He'll nev er make it if he doesn't beat Jones. There are many among the fight mob who don't believe he ever will, win or lose in this one. But at least he'll still have his chance if he does tame the Tiger. The whispers that the Hawk's wings were tiring increased re cently after Gavilan dropped a non-title decision to Danny Womber, a good fighter but not accepted yet as of championship calibre. The talk started even earlier when Gavilan persistent ly evaded a scrap with Bratton, Giving support to the idea that the Keed was fading were his "easy" defenses of the welter weight crown. Not meaning that the quality of the competition was not too strong. It was pointed out by keenly analytical boxing men 'that he caught Gil Turner when the young Philadelphian still was coming up; took Billy Graham on the latter's way down and thumped Chuck Davey because the college southpaw chiefly was a victim of his own publicity buildup. It is no secret that Gavilan, despite his avowed intention of campaigning for the middle weight tiara, wanted no part of Jones. The deal was struck by giving the Keed a larger than usual percentage and promising him top consideration in the middleweight mess should he beat the Tiger. New York is the largest city in the world. That's what I re cently said. That's what I con tinue to maintain. Many sub scribers, demanding stogies, say London is the largest city in the world. They are wrong. Their grievous error will cost each one of them a fine Pittsburgh stogie carefully wrapped to prevent breaking. I will name the ex perts of the Rand-McNally or- Standings PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L.

Who was the first broadcaster of a major sports event? A. Major White, when he handled the ra dio broadcast of the Dempsey Carpentier heavyweight cham pionship bout at Jersey City over 30 years ago. Q. You men tion a plastic surgeon in Paris who alters noses. Can you name an outstanding surgeon in this country who handles similar operations? A. Am not in a posi tion to recommend such a sur geon. Suggest you inquire at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Q, In referring to theatrical acts using a 'IMr. and Mrs." billing, you omitted Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry. How come? A. As I recall it, the clever married couple you mention was billed in vaudeville as "Felix and Barry." Briefly ' Californian says she hasn't had her wedding ring off for the 33 Vi years of her marriage . , Beer consumption is reported to have doubled in. this country in recent years. It will triple if the price of whiskey continues to rise. Horses Sc Women Christian Dior's so-called "New Look" is said to be the solution of the figure problems of the ma jority of women. His short skirt idea is welcome to a minority ot females. So few women have good looking legs. Dior's backing of the, short skirt is, therefore, somewhat baffling to our coun try women. Perhaps he has an interest in some concern manu facturing "leg falsies," an article of attire which is alleged to make it possible for any woman to appear to have legs like Dietrich. Passing By Irma Thomas. One of Amer ica's outstanding glamour girl grandmas. Part of that highly popular skating act known as "The Old Smoothies," for 11 years featured in the Ice Ca- pades. She didn't start skating until she was 40. Her partner, Orrin Markhus, was her teacher. Irma has six grandchildren. Southpaw Wife Are left handed wives more difficult to live with than right handed wives? Perhaps we can get at least one expert opinion on this, the ninth wife of Thomas Manville is a southpaw. The Manvilles celebrated their first anniversary on July 10th. Every thing seems all right at this' writ ing. I will ask Mr. Manville If he has noticed a difference be tween his left handed wife and his eight right handed wives. Says She "So, Mr. Norman Hartnell. world famous expert on the sub ject of proper attire for women, minus too many secretaries of business executives overdress and are more suitably attired for a cocktail party than office work," writes a Chicago girl Friday. "Pray tell me, sir, who vested authority in him? I am a secretary to a patent attorney, wear my hair in bangs and chig non, encircled with many, many flowers, or one great big cluster, drape myself with jewelry like a Christmas tree and have much more fun than my sensibly-suited sisters. I am the mother of a 12-year-old daughter, whom I have taught that straight teeth and straight knees are more import ant man a keen brain. Mr. Nor man Hartnell is a crezy mixed- up kid." Sidelights Have heard of a bank having an "express window." This is for those having only one check to cash or a small deposit to make. Does away with being held up by persons with many checks to cash or complicated deposits to make. Great idea ... As to the Eagle Point Grange ' Guest speaker at the August 18 meeting of Xaglt Point Grange was George R. Fernan dez, distributor for Gillette tires. He discussed the rubber industry saying that only nine companies produce all the different brands of tires on the market and ex plained the meaning of the two level ratings as applied to tires. Jack Brown and Verna Math ews reported on the egg market and present prices on beef. Beef prices were said to be somewhat higher in the Klamath area for grain fed animals. Grant Hubbell reported that the wheat allotment program, providing for a 20 percent re duction, is now under way and he predicted further reductions on other crops. ' In the absence of Mabel Wertz, H.E.C. chairman, Mrs- Chet Ket tlewell announced a picnic at the Hubbell home on Rogue River beginning at noon on August 28. Shady Cove H.E.C. has been in vited to join Eagle Poin club In the picnic. Everyone is to bring food and service. Coffee will be furnished.

It was announced that the blood bank will be in Medford the afternon of Aug 28 when it is hoped that at least the quota of 10 people from this vicinity will be able to donate- Anyone who needs transportation or ap pointments may call Gertrude Stanley. Petitions for the formation of a conservation district must be typed and presented to the meet ing September 3 in Salem for consideration, master Bob Bit teiling explained. A petition from the Shady Cove-Trail area was presented by Mr. Hubbell and several other petitions are in circulation. Jack Brown introduced a reso lution opposing the 20 percent increase in rates asked for by Copco. It was adopted. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wattenburg and Mr. and Mrs- Earl Josey were on the serving committee for the evening. Lake Creek Grange At its last . meeting. Lake Creek Grange voted to hold the annual picnic on Sunday, Aug. 30, at Dead Indian Soda Springs. It is a community picnic and everyone is invited. Each fam ily is to bring a picnic lunch. Grange furnishes the ice cream. The work of the members in cleaning the grange hall grounds was appreciated by all. Loyd George treated those that came on the cleaning day to ice cream. The members voted to con tribute to-the State Grange fund in opposition to the Idaho Power Company's developing of Snake river. Dorothy Perry showed the pictures that were taken of the 23th anniversary of our Grange. Gordon Stanley was unable to be present to do the showing. He is owner of the equipment, and had taken the pictures. H. E.
