Better Brand of Ball Predicted in PC Loop San Francisco (U.PJ Look for a dogfight this season be tween San Francisco, San Diego, Hollywood and Portland for the Pacific Coast League pennant with either the Seals or Padres coming In first. That's the way the race shapes up after a survey of PCL base ball writers forecasts. Br SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (U.R) The Pacific Coast league, presumably strengthened by closer ties with the major loops which it once tried to shun, opened its 55th straight season today amid pre dictions that the caliber of ball will surpass last year's. Portland opened at San Fran cisco, Seattle at Sacramento, Vancouver at Los Angeles and Hollywood at San Diego, where the Padres were to host the Stars in a day-night doublehead- er. Club officials expected about 10,000 fans to escape from the office or their mothers-in-law long enough to see a ball game and enjoy the pageantry ol open ing day. The Los Angeles Angels breezed to the pennant by 16 games last year but the race looked tighter this time with a poll of coast sportswriters point ing to a battle between San Francisco and San Diego for the pennant. More Talent On Tap The Boston Red Sox, owner of the Seals, were on the spot to mould a pennant contender after their farm finished sixth last year in the Bosox' initial season as proprietors. In the meantime, San Diego has become Cleveland's No. 1 farm club now that the Tribe no longer works with Indianapolis. Better talent also seemed on tap for all clubs since the ma jors agreed to pare their rosters to 28 men before opening their own campaign next week. Big league teams formerly could hang onto 30 or 40 players be fore cutting to the 25 man limit 30 days after the season was on. One club was under brand new management the Los An geles Angels who became the property of the Brooklyn Dodg ers last February after function ing as a Chicago Cub possession for years. The Bruins then laun ched a working agreement with Portland as part of the complex deal that saw numerous Angel and Beavers players swap uni forms. Mora Power Expected Usually regarded as a pitch ers league, the PCL was expect ed to show more power - for 1957. Stevp Bilko, who helped Short Price For Yankees New York (U.R) The 'New York Yankees, rated today at 1-3, were believed to be the shortest priced pennant favorite ever listed by Broadway oaas-maKers. The lopsided "book" on the American league race rated the other four "contenders" for the flag all at 8-1 the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, De troit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox. Kansas City, Baltimore and Washington were written off at 100-1. The odds - makers switched away from the champion in the National league and rated Mil waukee a 7-5 pennant favorite. Champion Brooklyn was second choice at 2-1, followed by Cin cinnati at 4-1, St. Louis at 6-1, Pittsburgh at 30-1, Philadelphia at 50-1, and New York and Chi cago each 100-1. Panchos Capture Tennis Tussles Cleveland U.R) Another "Battle of the Panchos" appear ed in the making Wednesday, night as Pancho Gonzales, top reded, and Pancho Segura, second-seeded, secured first round victories in the world tennis championships ere. Gonzales, shooting for his fifth straight professional title, downT ed former amateur champion; Frank Parker, 6-3, 6-2, while Segura won an 8-6, 6-4 victory over Dinny Pails of Australia. Tony Trabert, former Davis Cupper from the University of Cincinnati, beat Frank - Kovacs, Oakland, Calif., 6-3, 9-7, in an other quarter-final match. In a semi-final match, Aus tralian Ken Rosewall eliminated veteran Bobby Riggs, Miami Beach, Fla., 6-2, 6-2. Linfield Nine Beats OSC 9-6 Corvallis J.R) Linfield scored four runs in the ninth inning Wednesday to defeat Ore gon State 9-6 in ; non-conference baseball game here. The loss made Oregon State's record 8-4 for the season. All of Linfield's ninth-inning runs were unearned as three er rors contributed to the Beavers' downfall. Ron Bottler Sent To Des Moines San Francisco U.R) The Portland Beavers Wednesday sent pitcher Bi'' Griffin and catcher Ron Bottler to Des Moines on option. drive Los Angeles to the pen nant last year by hitting 55 home runs while winning five batting crowns, stayed on with the club despite the deal with Brooklyn. The Hollywood Stars also landed a fence - wrecker in Dick Stuart, Pirate optionee, who clubbed 65 home runs in the Class A Western League last year. Bill Renna, former Ameri can League long ball hitter now with the Seals, and Portland's Joe Macko also were ready to deliver the big blow. Three new managers were Jn the league Clay Bryant at Los Angeles, Clyde King at Holly wood and Charlie Metro at Van couver. Lefty O'Doul, making his fourth move since his 17-year stay with the Seals ended in 1950, was at Seattle and Bill Sweeney back at Portland for his third shot at running that club. The red-faced Irishman took over in mid-season last year from Tommy Holmes two days after Joe Gordon had supplant ed Eddie Joost at San Francisco. Gordon aho is back with the Seals. San Diego's Bob Elliott is at the Padre helm .for the third season and Tommy Heath is in his second year with Sacramento.

The four events are mile and two mile relays, the shuttle hurdles and the distance med ley. Yesterday's trials also pro duced the fastest 660-yard run in Medford high history. Les Lingscheit toured the distance in 1:22, breaking his own mark of 1:24. A bit later he also ran one of the faster 330s.

Their action followed a re port that a bill amending the statute had been suggested to legislators. ..It was rumored that establishment of a - pulp mill might be behind the movement. The Waltonians in their reso lution pointed ta the recreation provided by the stream's fish ing and to the world fame of the Rogue as a salmon and steel head fisher. They mentioned that fishermen spend $3,500, 000 to $4,0000,000 for the sport on the Rogue each year. Also brought out was that temperature of the Rogue water in a low water year reaches dangerously high point for sal mon and steelhead. Chapter members maintained that ap propriation of water for indus trial use would aggravate this condition. Members said they are well aware that many people would come to the conclusion, they are opposed to everything. But they brought out that they are for proper development of industry and will do what they can to help it. Intense study, they said, shows that recreation and tourists form the areas third largest industry and that much further recrea tional development is possible, particularly if the summer steel head run can be materially in creased. Waltonians worked success fully to gain Savage Rapids dam turbine screening which they feel will improve salmon and steelhead runs. Ford Sets Out At Greensboro Greensboro, N. C.

(International) Research Under Way To Determine Effect Of Atomic Extensive research is now under way to determine the bio logical effects of radiation from atomic explosions anywhere in the world, Maj. Gen. John Har greaves, Air Force (re.t.), told the Jackson County Medical Society at the VA Domiciliary theatre at Camp White Wednesday night. "While no one is known to have died as the result of burns received from the fallout after an explosion, the damage so far as future generations are con cerned is not known," he said. Fallout he described as the result of behavior of the iso topes, smaller than the atom, which are very unstable in na ture. They may drift around in definitely with the wind or in calm weather fall straight down to earth in the region of the ex plosion. Favors Belief General Hargreaves was in clined to favor the belief . that mankind will survive the effects of radiation if reasonable precau tions are taken as in the past during epidemics. He called at tention to Biblical accounts of destruction such as the flood and cited later historical plagues such as the black death and more recent typhoid, yellow fever and influenza epidemics. "It is thus seen that man has recovered from all previous dis asters, which were unknown at the time. With atomic radiation we have a known quantity which we should learn how to meet, he declared. "It is very difficult," he added, "to determine whether radiation is present or where it may drift and how long the dust will re main in the atmosphere, nor can we tell when it may strike or where." Best Information ' The best information from a medical standpoint at present is that from 48 to 72 hours expos ure would prove fatal. Manager E. K. Ricker and Dr. Wallace Pianka, chief medical officer, and the medical staff were hosts to the visiting doc tors from the surrounding area. A fourfold program was ar ranged in a reception and meet ing of the society, inspection of the mobile hospital unit, dinner served in the main dining hall, and the address by General Har greaves.
