Newspaper Page Texto O I 0 O S r 5 t o EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) More Than Magic Need Of Mounties (This is the first of a series on the prospects of Pacific Coast League teams for the 1956 season. By ALEX KAHN - Fullerton' Calif. (U.R) For most people, Frank (Lefty) O'Doul means Mr. Coast League and "the man in the green suit," as he's affectionately known, is back for another season. This year his club has a new home and a new name the Vancouver Mounties. But it's still the same O'Doul pacing back of the cage, throwing a word of encouragement to a rookie and expressing the hope of every manager in baseball for more help. O'Doul is starting his 21st season as a manager in the coast league ana its been 39 years since he broke into theocircuit back1 in 1917. But even O'Doul's magic can't make the transplanted Oakland club into a winner unless he gets help. And he's looking to the Baltimore team and his old friend, Paul Richards, to supply this assistance. Vancouver is a farm team of the Orioles. Depends on Help "It all depends on the players we get from Baltimore," the big man said. "If we get help, we will move up from seventh place where Oakland finished. "It takes players to make a ball club and we're counting on Baltimore. They've got lots of fine kids who could help us. If we get the help we could make it interesting. I hope so, because those people in Van couver deserve it. They're be hind us all the way." Vancouver needs both infield help and pitching. And the man O'Doul really wants is first baseman John Francona, who was destined for the Moun ties but has been doing so well with the stick at Scottsdale, Ariz!, with the Orioles that O'Doul doesn't know if he .will be his. Weak in Infield The Mounties are so weak for infield strength' that the 36-year-old Spiker Jorgensen is the only returnee in that depart ment. Dave Roberts, up from San Antonio, could make it at first and so could another San Antonio graduate, . Witty Quin tana. The cow pasture has the hard hitting George Metkovich after another batting title; Carl Pow is, who played for Portland last year;. Art Cuitti, who is alter nating at catcher and another Portland veteran, Dino Restelli. For pitchers, O'Doul has orSy George Bamberger and Chris Van Cuyk as hurlers who were with him all last season although Charlie Beamon com piled a fine 18-8 record be tween Oakland and Stockton. ThQ prospects include Roosevelt Evans, Bill Diemer and Ted Herrera while outfielder Dave Jordan is trying to switch to pitching. But O Doul is being patient. He worked with Baltimore for several weeks and knows there are players available. He hopes they won't come too late. Dons Go Blind Into SMU Fray San Francisco (U.R) Coach Phil Woolpert of the University of San Francisco admitted today his still invincible Dons will be going in "blind" against South ern Methodist in the NCAA bas ketball championship finals Thursday night. "I don't even know what color jerseys the Mustangs wear," Woolpert (jjuipped. Although he served on a coaching clinic faculty with Mustang Pilot Doc Hayes last summer, Woolpert has yet to see SMU play. Moreover, he has had no scouts operating. As soon as the Dons returned home yesterday from Corvallis, Ore., where they won the west ern regionalPNCAA title for the second year ina row, Woolpert issued an SOS to all his friends asking for reports on theJMus tangs. Natator Betters World Record Portland (U.R) Nancy Ra mey, 15 -year -old Washington A-thletic club swim star who shattered a world record for the 100 yard butterfly here two weeks ago, was back at break ing records again yesterday. The world mark of 1:04.6 set by the Seattle teen-ager for the 100-yard butterfly was in the 25 - yard Multnomah Athletic club pool. That time was -.9 of a second under the world mark set by Betty Mullen of the Wal ter Reed Swim club; Washing ton, D.C. last year. Yesterday, swimming in the Columbia Athletic club's 20 yard pool, Miss Ramey proved that her earlier feaf was no fly-by-night performance. She was clocked at 1:04.9 for the dis tance. Use Tribune Want Ads MAIL TRIBUNE Seeded Clubs Choices In NIT Quarter-Finals New York (U.R) The seeded teams swing into action as fav orites tonight in the quarter final round of the National In vitation Tournament with Louis ville picked over Duquesne and Niagara over St. Francis of Brooklyn. In each case, height was the factor that established the fa vorite with 6-8 Charley Tyra of Louisville and 6-7 Tommy He mans of Niagara seen as the key men. Louisville (23-3) is second seeded; Niagara (20-6) is fourth seeded. The quarter-final round will be concluded Tuesday night when top-seeded Dayton meets surprising Xavier of Ohio and third-seeded St. Joseph's plays Seton Hall. Xavier, the only team to pro vide a surprise in the first round of competition on Saturday M. Fetchick Golf Winner St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R) Mike Fetchick, no more talka tive than usual, couldn't offer any special reason today for his victory in the 512,500 St. Petersburg-Open Golf Tournament. "I just went out and played the best way I knew how," the stocky Mahopac, N. Y., profes sional said. But two major factors in Fet- chicks' first major tournament victory were his brilliant ap proach shots and the faltering underpressure of Billy Max well and Lionel Hebert. Hebert Muffs Shot Fetchick downed Hebert on the first hole of a sudden death playoff, sinking an easy putt for a par four while the Erie, Pa., golfer missed a 10-footer. Maxwell, from Odessa, Tex., was the leader by one stroke going into the final round but, playing in the same threesome with Fetchick, was shaken by the pressure and missed his chance to win when he bogeyed the final two holes. Fetchick, who has played three years on the pro circuit and never finished better than a second place tie, fired a three-under-par 69 in the final round for a 72-hole total of 275. Hebert, who also wound up with 275, carded a 70 Sunday and Maxwell shot a 72 for a total of 276.

A House public works sub committee ordered the recheck, it was learned yesterday, after Rep. Jim Wright (D-Tex.), pointed out the discrepancies. The subcommittee, which has been studying President Eisen hower's proposed highway con struction program, asked the Bureau of Public Roads to have the review finished by Jan. 1, 1958. The study will not delay the start of the vast highway pro gram. The subcommittee plans to recommend to the full Public Works Committee that work on the interstate system begin at once. i The subcommittee already tentatively has approved a 13 year, $50,000,000,000 federal state construction program. The federal government would put up 536,600,000,000 with S24, 800,000,000 going for the inter state system. Wright said a review of costs should be "very-thorough and comprehensive." He said there were indications that an earlier study, on which the subcommit tee based its bill, was taken "too hurriedly to be exact." He said estimated costs in some states were compiled in only six weeks.

WILSON United Press Correspondent .Washington 'UP.) The politi cal play for support of two of the larger minority groups may be a stand-off in this year's p r e s i d ential election. Both groups will vote next No vember under c i rcumstances of e m o t ional strain. Democra t i c candidates for Lvle C Wilson national and lesser offices prob ably will be able to make the most attractive bid for Jewish voters. Republicans may be able to woo northern Negroes from their 20-year attachment to the New Deal-Democratic combina tion created by FDR. The political issue touching Jewish hearts in this campaign year is' Eisenhower administra tion policy toward Israeli and the Arab states. The President and other Republican candidates must confine their appeal to Jewish voters to the administra tion's record. That record is not wholly distasteful to Jewish vot ers, but it is a real limitation on campaign promises. The Eisen hower administration is in of fice and has the power to act. For the approval of Jewish vot ers it can offer no more than the record of its actions so far. Ins and Outs The Democrats are the outs. The political outs can and usual ly do out-promise the ins when there is rivalry between them for the favor of any group of voters, racial, , religious or occu pational. Democratic candidates this year likely will promise to do more for Israel than the Eisenhower administration has done, and .less for the Arab states. Political parties long have followed such strategy. It often pays off. Northern Democratic candi dates will be as eager as any Re publican to please Negro voters this year. They will be handi capped and perhaps frustrated, however, by the angry dispute within their own party on the question of Negro and white children and young people ming ling in the public schools. The bitter talk of southern Democrats and their urgent plans to postpone or to prevent integration will sound loudly and be seen clearly in northern states. There is at least the pos sibility perhaps, even, the probability that northern Negroes will desert to the Re publican Party this year by the tens of thousands. Democratic prospects in (this presidential election are not bright at this moment. A Negro bolt would dim them more. When James A. Farley was CPRFDVoie Tomorrow On Special Tax Levy Central Point Residents of the Central Point Rural Fire Protection district will go to the polls from 2-8 p.m. Tuesday to consider a special tax levy of S6.972.80 for the district's 1956 57 budget. Balloting will take place at the fire hall south of Central Point on Highway 99. The levy for this year's budget is nearly $2000 less than the levy asked last year and is outside the 6 per cent and 4 mill limitations. The overall budget shows a drop of S259.52 from 1955.

There are fourteen cities in the United States in which re side 50.000 or more Jews: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Newark, Philadelphia.

Also lending to the specula tion was the fact that state Young Republican leaders said the national speaker's bureau has been on the complacent side in regard to assigning a speaker to the local meeting. - Leaders said that the entry of Interior Secretary Douglas McKay into the Republican pri mary for nomination for U.S. senator may also be a factor that would encourage Nixon to visit the state next month. 2 - 6161 or your Travel Agent .1.74 Now .88 yd. 7.95 Now 5.88 7 pr. 1.98 ' Nov 7 pr. 1.29 1.98 Now 1.19 59 '. 3.98 Now 399e Now 1.99 .159.95 89.88 Now 99.50 Now 64.50 Now 169.88 .199.95 ater on terms
