FonancgaD Structure to Be
ED'oscussed by PCL OiciaDs
San Francisco flJ.PJ The
Pacific Coast League has an
nounced that it will hold a spec
ial meeting Monday to discus?
the shaky financial structure of
some of its clubs and also con
fer on a schedule for next year.
The Sacramento Solons and
San Francisco Seals are in fin
ancial difficulties" while C. L.
(Erick) Laws, president of the
Oakland Oaks, is reported ready
to move his club either to Van
couver or Salt Lake City at the
end of the season.
BY HAL WOOD
San Francisco U.PJ If the
Pacific Coast League is going
to survive as such, it will have
to take a hint from the majors
nd do a bit of franchise shifting
before the 1956 season.
It must be obvious to the most
blasted club owner by now that
San Francisco and Los Angeles
areas will not support minor
league baseball as it should be.
When the majors found that
Philadelphia, St. Louis and Bos
ton could not or would not sup
port two ball clubs, they stretch
ed out to Milwaukee, Balitmore
and Kansas City for franchises.
There is nothing to stop the
PCL from doing the same thing.
Nina Possible Cities
There are nine cities within
playing distance of the PCL
that would support baseball bet
ter than San Francisco and Oak
land are doing this year. It is
possible that after a few years
in the new city with a poor
team, the attendance would
slack off, but for a few seasons
at least, these cities would in
ject new life into the turnstiles.
Take a look at the population
in these cities not within the
city limits, but in the so-called
"trade area."
Vancouver, B.C, has a trade
area of 498,000; Long Beach,
Calif., 285,000; Phoenix, Ariz.,
266,000; Honolulu, 248.000; Salt
Lake City, 252.000; Spokane,
Wash., 190,000; Tacoma, Wash.,
. 190,000; San Jose, Calif., 161,
000; and Fresno Calif., 156,000.
The die-hards will claim that
these areas are much smaller
than the San Francisco and Los
. Angeles sections thus will not
support the PCL as well.
That doesn't hold true at all.
Milwaukee drew only fair in
the American Association and
the blame was placed on the
proximity to big league base
ball at Chicagd. So the Boston
Braves moved from a trade area
of 2,100,000 to Milwaukee with
a trade area of 866,000 and set
b National League attendance
record.
Athletics Draw
The Philadelphia Athletics
were in a trade area of 2,324,000
nd moved to Kansas City, which
has a trade area of 750,000 and
the club, an also-ran in the
American League, drew bigger
crowds in the first few weeks of
home play than the Athletics
did in Philadelphia in a full
eason.
There ia good reason to be
lieve, along the same line, that
a PCL franchise in Phoenix
would more than double the less
than 200.000 that will attend
garnet in San Francisco this year.
Or that Vancouver would draw
at least 350,000 compared with
180,000 or less that will see

San Jose, in the fastest grow
ing county in the nation, might
be a good spot for either the
San Francisco or Oakland club
and the weather there is per
fect for baseball, in contrast to
the cold and fog in the Bay area.
Phoenix might be a. bonanza
for the Hollywood club, which
will find itself without a ball
park in the near future.

ing problem, but it is only about

Southpaw Herb Score, one of
the American league's top rook
ies, pitched a one-hit, 7-0 shut
out over the Baltimore Orioles
Saturday to move the Cleve
land Indians into a flat-footed
tie with the New York Yankees
for second place only two
percentage points back of the
Chicago White Sox.
The Yankees missed a chance
to regain first place when they
dropped a 12-2 decision to the
Kansas City Athletics while the
Washington Senators edged the
White Sox, 1-0.
The fifth-place Detroit Tigers
also picked up ground in the
fast-tightening American league
race by downing fourth-place
Boston, 5-2, and now rest only
5Vi games back of Chicago.
Jim Dyck ruined Score's bid
for a no-hitter with a fourth
inning single that just eluded
the outstretched glove of Cleve
land shortstop George Strick
land. The Indians' fast-balling
youngster walked six Orioles
and struck out 10 to bring his
league-leading total to 164.
Strickland, Vic Wertz and
Gene Woodling led Cleveland's
13-hit attack on three Baltimore
pitchers. Strickland drove in
four runs with a triple and a
single, Woodling nad two
doubles and a single, and Wertz
hit a two-run homer.
Yankees Give up 17 Hits
Kansas City, meanwhile
pounded out 17 hits in whipping
the Yankees. Elmer Valo was
the hero of this game with a
homer and three doubles, while
Big Arnold Portocarrero stop
ped the Yankees with six hits.
Johnny Kucks, the first of three
New York pitchers, was charged
with the loss.

handed hard-luck Billy Pierce
his fourth 1-0 defeat of the sea

hits, while Bob Porterfield
pitched seven-hit ball for the

The Tigers remained very
much in the race by totaling 11
hits off three Boston pitchers.

was forced to leave the game
with a stiff shoulder after giv

13 minutes, 23.2 seconds for the
three-mile run Saturday in a
Britain versus Germany track

In the final yards, Britain's

Urged on by the crowd, Ibbot
son dragged himself to his feet
and staggered to the finish to
claim second place.
His time of 13:42.2 was 19 sec

new world mark.
Ibbotson's rally was just in

PAL is a non-profit organiza
tion formed by local business
men, law enforcement officers
and other citizens with the idea
of giving youngsters a chance
to spend their spare time con
structively. During the past year
PAL has made great strides in
making the club more attractive
and useful to the members, of
ficers feel. In its first year,
$10,000 in equipment was pur
chased or donated. Several box
ing shows were put on locally
and members participated in
outside cards. Many strong box
ers have been developed as a
result of the program offered.
They include two state AAU
champions, Larry Lewis and
Larry Nord, flyweight and no
vice bantamweight, respectively.
New Programs
With the continued growth of
PAL club, new events and pro
grams will be added. If the club
grows as it has this past year,
the physical plant will soon have
to be enlarged, officers said.
Long range plans for the club in
clude its own building with fa
cilities to handle all boys no
matter what their interests may
be.
In the coming year, more box
ing events are planned, includ
ing an outdoor show from out
standing contenders from other
localities in Oregon and from
out of state.
Any adult or child interested
in the club is invited to attend
the opening on Monday evening,
as well as ay other night the
club is open.

It's smart not to wait until your car's engine gets sluggish from gum
and sludge before using Rislone. Although it's widely used as a cure
for those conditions, Rislone is also widely used as a preventive
to stop them from forming in the first place. In fact, many garages
recommend the use of Rislone as a break-in oil in new and recondi
tioned engines.
Rislone is an oil alloy made to a secret formula that absorbs
gum and disperses sludge in your car's engine. It is the original oil
alloy for all motor oils and it carries a money-back guarantee if
you cannot eel improvement in your car's performance after ten
