Brick Laws
Considering
Sale of Club
Oakland, Calif. (U.PJ
President C. L. Brick Laws of
the Vancouver Mounties has dis
closed that he is considering
selling the Pacific Coast team
to wealthy Canadian sportsman
Coley Hall for "considerably
more than $60,000."
Laws is part owner of the
franchise which was shifted
from Oakland to the British Co
lumbia city last winter, ending
a 54 year stand in the East Bay.
His plans for selling the club
were revealed yesterday when a
legal action was filed in Ala
meda superior court to halt the
move. The suit was filed by Mr.
and Mrs. A. Robert Miller, who
identified themselves as owners
of the stock in the Oakland as
sociation, which controls the
Vancouver team.
The Millers said that the club's
board of "directors approved the
granting of an option to Hall to
buy the property, with the offer
expiring on June 30 of this year.
They said the price had been set
at $60,000 and claimed it was
not a "fair market price."
No Option Yet
"I've talked to Hall about his
buying the team but haven't
sent him any option yet and
don't intend to rush one up to
him in the next mail," Laws said.
"I'll be down in this area for
the next three weeks and don't
intend to see him about the trans
action until I get back to Van
couver." , . The Mounties, last in the Coast
League race, have been under
fire almost since the beginning
of the season and there has been
speculation that Laws would be
glad to get out of baseball.
Among the attacks on the club
fias been one that it was a foreign-owned
operation, and Laws
said the team might be on firm
er ground if some Canadian
money was invested in it.
Wes Santee
Makes Bid
Quantico, Va. U.R) Wes
Santee, in one of the rare com
petitive chances left open to
him, bid today for the "metric
mile" championship in the ninth
annual Marine corps track and
field championships.'
Santee, under ban from ama
teur track by the National Ama
teur Athletic Union on charges
of accepting about $1,500 in ex
cess expense money, is abln to
compete here because the meet
is a military service affair.
The former Kansas star, now
a Marine lieutenant stationed
here, won the 800-meter run in
Tuesdays opening-day program
in the excellent time of 1:49.5.1
Mathias Stars
However, he was forced io
share the spotlight with two
time Olympic decathlon cham
pion Bob Mathias of Tulare,
Calif., and Josh Culbreath, for
mer Morgan State college star
who is rated America's top hope
for the -400-meter low hurdles
crown in this year's Olympic
games.
Mathias, representing Camp
Pendleton, won the shotput
Tuesday with a toss off 49 feet,
83s inches and today was to try
to win three more titles in the
discus throw, broad jump, and
110-meter high hurdles.
UCLA Athletic Director Requests
Reconsideration of PCC Penalties'
Against Bruin Football Players
Los Angeles U.PJ wnour
Johns, athletic director of UCLA
has expressed hope that the Pa
cific Coast conference would re
consider penalties against the
school's footbal players "in the
light of existing conditions and
practices at other schools."
Johns in a prepared statement
Tuesday said he believed any
athletes who did not receive aid
beyond conference limits would
be cleared and called for an ear
ly meeting of' the Council of
Presidents as recommended by
Dr. Gordon Sproul, president of
the University of California. .
Code Re-Study
"UCLA representatives have
urged for years that the confer
ence re-examine its basic philos
ophies in the light of existing
conditions and practices," Johns
stated.
-T underline the word prac
tices because everyone connect
ed with the member institutions
has been exposed to sufficient
rumors and circumstantial evi
dence to realize that practices
were not uniformly consistent
with the code."
The athletic director said the
most important aspect of all the
sanctions imposed is the effect
STANDINGS
on the athletes.
"This is real tragedy and one
which I fervently hope will be
reconsidered by the presidents
and the conference when all in
stitutional reports have been
considered," Johns said.
"In the light of recent disclo
sures and intimations of other
possible disclosures about irreg
ularities at other member insti
tutions, it seems that the Coun
cil of Presidents must take posi
tive action if we are to avoid a
continuing fiasco in the confer
ence." Knox Status
Johns denied that he or any
one else at UCLA had specifical
ly announced star passer Ron
nie Knox would be eligible next
fall. Knox claimed he didn't re
ceive "undercover" payments
and could not be affected by a
year's suspension invoked
against all UCLA squad mem
bers. UCLA recently was fined
nearly $95,000 for making al
leged illegal payments to ath
letes. The 'conference also set
the ineligibility at one year for
each player on the 1955 frosh
and varsity squads except for
those proving they did not ac
cept extra money.

Baltimore (U.R) Ted Wil
liams was hobbled by a new ail
ment today 24 hours after he
returned to the Boston Red Sox'
lineup for the first time since
April 18.
The 36-year-old slugger's avail
ability was strli on a ' day to
day" basis because of a blister
the size of half-dollar in diam
eter and a quarter-inch deep in
his right heel. The blister de
veloped Tuesday when Ted play
ed seven innings in the Red Sox
7-3 win over the New York
Yankees.,
No Way of Telling
"There's no telling from day
to day what the situation is go
ing to be," Williams conceded.
"I'll play if I can but there's
just no way of predicting how
my pins'll be."
Williams returned to the Red
Sox' regular lineup for the first
time since the second game of
the season Tuesday. He notified
Manager Mike .Higgins a few
minutes before game-time that
he'd like "to give it a try."
Williams went hitless in four
trips to the plate and caught
a routine fly in left field before
retiring in favor of Gene Steph
ens in the seventh.
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The Pacific Coast League
reached the Memorial Day Land
mark today but the biggest
things on the horizon were Steve
Bilko and the larupping Los An
geles Angels.
Bilko, who looks as if he
could bunt the ball out of the
park, pounded his 19th home
run yesterday to lead the Angels
to their seventh straight victory
a 9-3 conquest of Vancouver.
Elsewhere in the league the
games were close. Portland and
San Francisco went scoreless for
nine innings and then did all
their scoring in the tenth with
the Beavers winning 3-2. Sacra
mento edged past Hollywood 2-1
and Seattle got yeoman relief
pitching from Bill Kennedy to
down San Diego 4-2.
Sixth Loss
Bilko and Gale Wade hit
home runs as the Angels sent
Vancouver down to the ?-1oun-ties'
sixth straight loss. George
Piktuzis and Gene Fodge com
bined to allow but five hits, al
though three of them were home
runs. Three Jims, McDonald, Pis
oni and Westlake, hit solo hom
ers to account for all Vancouver
runs.
Rene Valdes and Russ Kem
merer were in magnificent form
for the regular distance in the
Beaver-Seal game. Kemmerer
had given Portland only two
singles. But in the tenth a hit
and a walk set the stage for Jim
Baxes to hammer a three-run
homer. The Seals roared back
with two runs and had two men
on the plate when fireman Ray
Shore fanned Larry DiPippo to
end the overtime contest.
Sacramento's Rufe Crawford
singled heme George Risley in
the eighth frame with the run
that broke a 1-1 tie with Holly
wood. And then in the ninth
Ferris Fain pulled the hidden
ball trick to get rid of a runner
on first. Two Hollywood singles
followed before the side was re
tired. Pitchers Duel
Cloyd Boyer for Sacramento
and Curt Raydon for Hollywood
had pitched even, thrilling base
ball up to that point although
Boyer gave way to Milo Candi-
ni to get the final out in the
ninth.
Kennedy relieved Art Shal-
lock in the sixth and gave San
Diego only three hits the rest of
the way to save the Seattle vic
tory. Pete Mesa got three runs
in the first frame, only one of
them earned
Carmen Mauro then hit a solo
home run in the second for in
surance.
Kennedy came in when the
Pads scored twice in the sixth
and stopped them.

Bob Gauthier
Slaps Homer
With 3 On
By RAY ANDREWS
United Press Sports Writer
Picking a hero in last night's
Northwest league play is a lead
pipe cinch.
It would have to be Bob Gau
thier of Eugene who sat out six
innings before he got in the ball
game. '
Then in the seventh. Ad Sata
lich, Salem pitcher, walked two
men. Gene Marinacci's scratch
single filled the sacks and Gau
thier came in to hit for pitcher
Bill Griffin. .
He belted one of Satalich's
pitches clear over the score
board for one of the longest
homers ever hit at the Salem
park. The four runs crossed to
go with one Eugene tallied in
the third for a 5-3 Eugene vic
tory.
Donahue Goat
On the other side of the ledg
er, there was Mike Donahue.
Lewiston catcher. Donahue
dropped a third strike on Bob
Roberts of Wenatchee that
would have ended the ball game.
Instead Roberts scampered to
first safely and Phil Marvier
scored from second with the ty
ing run when Donahue dropped
the return throw from first.
That made the score Wenat
chee 3, Lewiston 3 at the end
of the ninth. Wenatchee took
advantage of the break with a
run in the 10th when Don Lund-
berg's single plated Frank Mata-
ya from second for a 4-3 Wenat
chee decision.'
Tri-City and Yakima broke
even in a twin bill at Kenne
wick. A 13-hit attack produced
a 12-5 Tri-City victory in the
opener. Yakima took the second
game 4-3 with Eny Wilcox send
ing in the eventual winning run
in the seventh with a single.

Joe Conrad Advances (League Leaders
In British Amateur
By HENRY THORNBERRY
Troon, Scotland (U.R) All
four remaining Americans in the
British Amateur Golf Champ
ionship won fourth round
matches today. Defending
Champion Joe Conrad of San
Antonio, Tex., scored an easy
6 and 5 victory, but Gene An
drews, Peter Grant and Lt. Gene
Eyler all won hard-fought 1 up
matches.
Conrad, rated America's best
hope to win the title, had little
difficulty beating John Mills of
Scotland. However, Andrews,
the 1954 U. S. Public Links
champion from Pacific Palisades,
Calif., and Grant, who comes
from Phoenix, Ariz., struggled
the full 18 holes before winning,
and Eyler, a serviceman from
Buffalo, N. Y., edged Hugh
Squirrell of Wales on the 19th
hole.
Andrews scored the most im
pressive triumph of the four
Americans when he shot a two-under-par
69 on the ancient
Troon course to eliminate Phil
Scrutton of England. Grant de
feated Michael Burgess of Eng
land. Today's fourth round results
were in marked contrast to yes
terday's ".Black Tuesday," dur
ing which 13 Yanks were elim
inated. The four Americans who
reached the fourth round repre
sented the smallest contingent
of U. S. survivors in years for
this stage of the tournament.
Among the "name" Americans
ousted were Hobart Manley of
Savannah, Ga., Frank Strafaci
of Garden City, N. Y., and "Dy
namite" Billy Goodloe of Val
dosta, Ga., ' all in the second
round, and Edwin C. Vare and
Clarke Hardwicke of Los An
geles, both in the third round.
Two rounds were scheduled
to be played today and by night
fall there would be only eight
survivors for Thursday's 36-hole
quarter-finals. Seventeen Scots
and seven Englishmen ' were
among the 32 who started play
today in cool, overcast weather.
Conrad, shooting only two-over-par"
golf for the 13 holes
his match lasted, grabbed a 3 up
lead at the turn and then swept
three of the first four holes on
the incoming nine to win hand
ily. The American needed to
play only fair golf as Mill
bogeyed eight of the last 10
holes in the match.
