Bf MILTON RICHMAN New York U.PJ The Brooklyn Dodgers' time-honored slogan of "wait 'til next year" took on a decided Los Angeles flavor today but opposition al ready was mounting in Califor nia toward the Bums moving out there by 1958. Although Dodger President Walter F. O'Malley denied the team plans to move from Brook lyn when he acquired the Los Angeles franchise in the Pacific Coast league from the Chicago Cubs Thursday, several PCL of ficials saw the handwriting on the wall and they didn't like it. Bob Cobb, president of the Hollywood Stars, said, "if a ma jor league club does come to Los Angeles, it would destroy the Pa cific Coast league from Vancou ver to San Diego. It would put us out of business." Sacramento President Fred David added, "if O'Malley is buy ing the Los Angeles franchise to play an open classification team in Los Angeles, that's one thing. But if he plans to move the Brooklyn team to Los Angeles, we'll oppose it." Texas Team To Cubs . To obtain the Cubs' Los An geles minor league farm, the Dodgers turned over their Fort Worth franchise in the Texas league to Chicago and since they are not permitted to operate two clubs in the PCL, they also end ed their working agreement with Portland and the Cubs will pick it up. Additionally, the Dodgers also paid the Cubs $1,250,000, a price some baseball men called "a steal" because "it puts the Brook lyn Club in an excellent nego tiating position to transfer its franchise to Los Angeles next year." One National League official considered the sum a paltry one in light of the fact that "the Dodgers can make more than that back in one year by be coming the only major league club to televise its games up and down the West Coast when they do move out there." San Francisco U.R) Les lie O'Connor, president of the Pacific Coast league, today sent telegrams to PCL owners asking that a special meeting of the loop be set for April 1-3 in San Fran cisco to consider transferring ownership of the Los Angeles franchise from the Chicago Cubs to the Brooklyn Dodgers. "I have suggested that date at the request of the Los Angeles owners, said O Connor. O'Connor said that the switch in ownership, on the surface, should have nothing to do with the Brooklyn club moving to Los Angeles. However, baseball followers who have been seeking a major league franchise in the West be lieve that it may be the first move in plans for the Dodgers to move to the West Coast in 1958. NW Loop Clubs In Stretch Drive By UNITED PRESS The Northwest ' conference goes into the stretch drive of its campaign this week end with nearly every member of the six tam loop still a contender.

A special five-man team shoot Writer Calls for Truth On LA Anqel Transaction By HAL WOOD San Francisco ';U.R This is Washington's birthday, so will the major league cub owners quit beating around the ' bush and somebody, please, tell the truth. About the Brooklyn purchase of the Los Angeles Angel fran chise in the Pacific Coast league from the Chicago Cubs, for in stance. Says Phil Wrigley, Cub and Angel owner: 'I would not agree to this deal unless I was confident it would help bring big league baseball to Los Angeles." Says Walter O'Malley, presi dent of the Dodgers: "We have $4 million set aside to aid in the building of a park in Brooklyn.

The film, which relates the de cline and then the rehabilita tion of the lake as a trout fish ery, was previewed this week bv the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable and was shown to the Ashland Chap ter of the Izaak Walton league. Television station KBES has scheduled a special showing fol lowing the boxing presentation tonight. The movie then will be sent back to the game commis sion which will have it shown in other areas. Portland Schools May Quit Grid Jamboree Portland (U.R) The annual Portland high school football jamboree may be on its way out. The Grant high school chapter of the Portland Dad's club rec ommended last night, that the jamboree, which kicks off each prep football season here in Multnomah stadium, be discon tinued. Speakers in favor of eliminating it indicated other units in the city also were of similar mind. Principal Colton Meek of Grant said there was a disci plinary problem involved since students appeared interested in "only about 15 minutes of foot ball. The rest of the time is social." The jamboree also has not had the financial success expected, it was pointed out. Boxing Results "By United Press lxs Angeles: Billy (Sweetpea) Pea- cock. 122.

Shooters on a team must be affiliated with the same club and a club may enter as many teams as it "wishes. Team members will not be re quired to shoot on the same squad.

Lunch will be avail able on the grounds. Other spring events planned here are the southern zone shoot on April 6 and 7 and the Mail Tribune shoot on May 11 and 12. geles? We just wanted the Los Angeles franchise as protection in case we don't get the stadium in Brooklyn." The idea of Wrigley swap ping the Los Angeles property for that in Ft. Worth of the Texas league even-up is hard to believe. The Wrigley field in the southland, with adjacent prop erty, has been evaluated as be ing worth between $1 million and $2 million. It is doubtful that the Ft. Worth property is worth any where near half that much. Additionally, Pacific Coast league franchises are worth more than those of a lower classification league. And the players Involved in the swap should be more valuable in the PCL. Although it must be ad mitted that some people believe the whole 50 players involved in the trade aren't worth the price of a new baseball bat. But the Angels last year did win the PCL pennant by 16 games and most of them will be back again attempting to do the same thing for the Dodgers this year. As one Pacific Coast League owner put it (asking that his name not be mentioned): "This is the biggest squeeze play of all time in baseball. The Dodgers just bought that club to force Brooklyn into building a new stadium. Puzzling Factors There are several other puz zling factors involved, however: 1. Payment of indemnities to PCL clubs might not be as high as some people predict. In the first place, Hollywood is just a "squatter" in the Los Angeles territory and has no territorial rights. So, if Los Angeles and San Francisco went to the ma jors, it would leave only five clubs left with the right to indemnity. 2. And of the five clubs elig ible for the indemnity, only Seattle owns expensive property that might prove a stumbling block. San Diego is using a con demned stadium; Portland and Vancouver are in city-owned structures; Sacramento recently built an all-wooden stadium that seats 10,000. 3. San Francisco is owned by the Boston Red Sox of the Amer ican league. And most people believe that if the majors ever came west, that both San Fran cisco and Los Angeles would have to be in the same league. So would somebody please un scramble the logic?

That is why so many millinery sales woman and shoe salesmen in women's footwear departments so frequently suffer from ner vous breakdowns. The woman having the most difficulty of all females in coming to a decision are those born under Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). If you see a woman lingering long before giv ing her order in a restaurant and then calling back the waiter to change it, she is usually a Libra. It takes a Libra at least one hour to buy a pair of shoes and two hours to buy a hat. If, as a bach elorette, she has three men in terested in her as a matrimonial prospect it takes her a year or more to decide which proposal to accept. And when she does accept one and marries him she is never certain she picked the right man. Or, so say the star gazers. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What celebrity was nicknamed "Old Hoss"? A. Two remarkable fel lows were so nicknamed. One was the great major league pitcher "Old Hoss" Radbourne, who pitched for Providence when that team was in the ma jor leagues. One year, in aiding his team to win the pennant, Radbourne pitched the last 27 games of the season and won 26 of them. The other bearing the nickname mentioned was "Old Hoss" Hoey, brilliant stage co median, who introduced and popularized the song titled "The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo." Says She "The complaints of women that most men in this country do not understand kissing are justified," writes a feminine sub scriber of Boston. "A man whose kisses can be classed as thrilling is a rarity. It has been jestingly said there should be schools for i kissing established in the United States. Many a true word is spoken in jest. Most of our coun trymen have no knowledge whatsoever of the tenderness i technique in osculation. A ten der and thrilling kiss is never planted on the lips. It is a kiss impressed upon the lobes of the ear or the nape of the neck. That is something every young man should know." Presents How about people who were born on Christmas Day? Should they get double presents on Dec. 25th? That is, both birthday and Christmas presents. I think so. I knew a fellow whose wife was born on Christmas Day. Not only that, he married her on Christmas. So on Dec. 25th he has to buy her triple presents, birthday, wedding anniversary and Christmas. How about those born on Feb. 29th, which date comes but once in four years? How about their birthday gifts? My understanding is such people ! rate a birthday gift on the last j day in February every year.
