of Los Angeles took, another
s'ep today to clear the way for
a possible transfer of the Brook
lyn Dodsers franchise here by
obtaining an agreement to re
word the deed of a proposed site
of a major league stadium.
The city's housing authority
was requested by Mayor Norris
Poulson to change the wording
of the deed under which the
land in Chevaz ravine was trans
ferred to the city. The deed had
specified that the land be "used
for public purposes only.
The mayor told the Housing

might complicate efforts to fi
nance a baseball stadium pri

niior freeways.
The Housing Authority held
an informal meeting immediate

Scheffing Lauds
Rookie Pitcher
New York IP Manager
Bob Scheffing feels his last
place Chicago Cubs could pro
duce the National league's Rook
ie of the Year in 20-year-old
pitch Dick Drott.
The right-handed Drott, whe
popped into prominence when
he struck out 15 Milwaukee
batters on May 26, currently
has a 4-6 record but Scheffing
claims that if misleading.
"His record easily could have
been the other way around if
the ball had bounced right for
us in some of the games he
pitched." Scheffing said. "Here
is a kid whp is one of the best
young pitchers in our league
(Tfjht now and he could become
one of the real greats."
While Drott shocked the
baseball world with his per
formance gainst the Brave'
two weeks ago, he didn't partic
ularly surprise Scheffing.
"I Yud Drott with Los Angeles
in the Pacific Coast league last
season and he was the strike

two are Ed Reinking, outfield
er, and Jerry Droscher, outfielder-pitcher.
They were with
the squad last week end with
Reinking seeing duty at Cave

Asked To Be
Left Alone
North Bend TO Pete Susick,
apparently nettled at rumors to
the contrary, emphasized Tues
day that he is still on the Uni
versity of Washington coaching
staff.
And he added:
"I wish people would leave
me alone and let me work out
my own problems."
Reports were that Susick was
about to resign at Washington
and return to his old job as foot
ball coach at Marshfield high
school, where his teams were
state champions in 1954 and
1955.
Sheldon Switches
The reports started after Dean
Sheldon resigned last Friday as
Marshfield high coach. Sheldon
was named athletic director and
vice - principal at Marshfield,
leaving the football coaching
post vacant.
Marion Winslow, superintend
ent schools, and Guy Shellen
barger, Marshfield high princi
pal, said Susick would be wel
come to return to his former
post. Said Susick:
"I have no status with Marsh
field high school whatsoever at
the present time. The Marshfield
job has been offered to me, and
that s as far as it s gone.

home here Sunday after two
days of conferences with Uni

officials in Seattle.
