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.

New York U.PJ The Cuban
Hawk was at the parting of the
ways today.
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

ganization to decide this ques
tion.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. 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.
A quilt made and quilted by
Crete Carnall, Winnie Brown
and Pearl Lusk was displayed on
the H.E C. table.
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. Chairman Bessie Arens
served a watermelon feed at the
close of Grange.
