PCL Directors
Delay Action on
Claire Goodwin
Sacramento, Calif. (U.R)
Directors of the Pacific Coast
league have agreed to take no
action on the resignation of
Claire Goodwin as league pres
ident until Nov. 27.
On that date, the PCL will
meet in Columbus, O. along with
the National Associatiton of Pro
fessional Baseball leagues.
Fred David, president of the
Sacramento Solons, and a PCL
director, said the decision to de
fer action on Goodwin was un
animous on the part of all the
directors.
He said there was still a pos-
albility that the directors might
ask Goodwin to stay on.
O'Connor Top Choice
"If we were going to ask' him
for his resignation, we would
have done it at our meeting in
Vancouver," he said.
David added, however, that
from his conversations with oth
er league directors it appeared
that Chicago attorney Leslie
O'Connor was the top candidate
for the job. He said he talked
by telephone yesterday with
O'Connor, who said he would
"consider" the job if the league
asked him to take it.
David also indicated there was
some sentiment favoring Jerry
Donovan, league secretary, for
the post. ,

third ranked Willie Pastrano, af
ter his convincing second round
technical knockout of Paddy
Young in the Chicago stadium

"I don't know where we'll

where we can get him and see
how it comes out."
Spieser lost a 10-round deci

finish at 2:45 of the second.

McKay To Ask for
Park Improvements
Arlington, Va. (U.R) Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay will
ask Congress in January to auth
orize a vast expansion and im
provement of tourist facilities in

He said such a program has
been overdue for nearly 20
years.
He pointed out that the 1929
depression, World War II and
the Korean conflict strained the
nation's resources and halted de
velopment of national parks.
McKay told a Presbyterian
Church group here that park
roadbuilding has been stepped
up since 1950 but that overall
development has lagged far be

Receives Ultimatum
Portland (U.R) The Port

day received a three-point "ulti
matum" from Public Utilities
Commissioner Nate Boody.
The city council last month
backed Boody in his refusal to
recommend a 10-year franchise
renewal for the firm.
Boody set up three courses for
continuing a mass transit sys
tem here. One would call for
the Portland Transit company,
which owns the traction com
pany, to reorganize to give local
control to the traction company.
Another would be for the tran
sit company to set a price at
which it will sell the traction
company to local ownership.
Or, Boody said, he would give
the go-ahead to undisclosed in
vestors who he said were ready
and able to start a new mass
transit system.
