Northwest Clubs May Ask Fans To Return Balls Portland W Northwest league officials, plagued by poor attendance, may ask fans to re turn baseballs hit into grand stands to help keep the circuit solvent. Team officials of the six mem ber loop met behind closed doors here Sunday to discuss poor attendance. Bad Weather Jim Fleishman, league presi dent, said bad weather was blamed for the attendance lag early in the season. He said an average paid attendance of 10. 000 per game was needed to keep teams in the black. Two recommendations which came out of the meeting were to ask fans to return baseballs hit into the stands and that the league's salary limit be strictly adhered to. It was left up to individual teams to decide whether to ask fans to return baseballs hit into the stands. The average team spends about S3.000 a year on baseballs, it was said.

Homers Bounce Like Golf Balls In Wild Day in Coast League By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer The Pacific Coast league re sembled a driving range today as the aftermath of a wild Sun day in which a total of 45 pitch ers trooped to and from the mound while home runs bounced around like golf balls. When the last drop of hot water was used up in the show ers, the San Francisco Seals had pulled ahead to a 21 2 game lead over fading Vancouver with the aid of Eddie Sadowski's clutch home run one of the 16 which ran the outfielders ragged throughout the league. Not that the Seals exactly looked like pennant contenders. They committed s i x errors while losing to Sacramento, 8-7, in the twilight opener. But Sa dowski's home run in the ninth inning of the overtime nightcap gave them a 3-2 victory and it was a big one. For during the afternoon Hollywood had swept a twin bill from the Mounties, 2-0 and 5-3. In other PCL action, Seattle ran its winning streak to six and moved into fourth place by bop ping Portland, 12-5 and 5-3. San Diego and Los Angeles split. The Padres exploded for 18 hits in the first game to win 12-7. Los Angeles took the nightcap, 7-4. A total of 49 hits rang out in this twin bill, including eight circuit clouts with two of them by the Padres' Dave Pope. He had a man on in each game. Third Unguarded The Seals tied the opener in the ninth inning when Bill Ren na and Harry Malmberg pounced on Earl Harrist for a pair of two run homers. But southpaw Jack Spring threw to an unguarded third base in the Sacramento half and that let Nippy Jones score with the win ning run, along with Harrist's second win in eight decisions. Sadowski's clout cinched the overtime nightcap in the ninth inning and Leo Kiley's eighth win. Joe Stanka went the route for the loss. Curt Raydon (6-5) of Holly wood was the lone pitcher to show much of anything. He Congress Starts Hearing Today On Pro Sports Washington (IP) Congress began hearins pros and cons to day on proposed government regulation of professional sports. A house judiciary subcommit tee will open hearings aimed at determining whether baseball, football, basketball, hockey and boxing should come under the federal anti-trust laws. The seven lawyers on the sub committee will hear testimony from athletes, club owners, league officials, sports writers and others. The hearings are ex pected to last several weeks. Major league baseball, long exempted from the anti-trust laws by a supreme court deci sion, will get the investigators' attention for the first two weeks. Then pro football will move into the spotlight. Chairman Emanuel Celler (D N.Y.) said the purpose of the inquiry is to shed more light on how the sports operate, and de termine whether they are pre dominantly sports or businesses. "We're going to lift up the buckskin and pigskin curtains and see what makes these sports tick," Celler told a reporter. "There's a good deal the public doesn't know about them." Congress' current interest stems largely from a 6-3 deci sion by the Supreme Court last Feb. 26 refusing to give profes sional football the same anti trust immunity enjoyed over the years by organized baseball. The court in 1922 put baseball in a unique niche by ruling that it is a business but not in inter state commerce. It reaffirmed this position four years ago. Stanford Crew Beats Wisconsin Madison, Wis. IP) Stanford, using a borrowed shell from the University of Wisconsin, surged ahead about a quarter of a length from the finish to hand the Badgers their third loss of the season today. The West Coast oarsmen were behind at the start, but gradual ly caught up. The lead changed several times before Stanford finally pulled ahead. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport blanked the Mounties with five hits in the opener and also took the league lead in strikeouts by boosting his total to 65. Jim Baume's pinch hit homer in the sixth inning of the second game with Dick Smith aboard brought the sweep and dropped Don Fer rarese to his first loss. Bevan Drives In Three Hal Bevan drove in three runs to help Seattle down Portland in the opener and cinch the first PCL victory for Russ Meyer, the old National league storm center, who came on in relief. Bob Anderson, the first of four Beaver pitchers to work, took his eighth loss. A two-run pinch double by Ray Orteig proved to be the winning clout for Seattle in the finale and helped Duane Pillette to his seventh win. George Wayne Lemley Has Sweep In Hardtop Auto Program Wayne Lemley didn't spare the horsepower Saturday night in giving a mighty boost to his track leadership in hard top auto racing at Valley View speedway. He came out on top in all the competition he entered, climax ing the evening with triumph in a hectic spin-out filled and rhubarb-marked main event. Lemley also had the fast time in the tri als, won the scamper for a A trophy and was victor in the fourth heat race. Helping make it a family af fair, Wayne's brother, Doyce, copped the B trophy dash. Bob Rose was winner of the semi-main after a whale of a scrap with Elmer Sisemore. Bob Jenkins won the second heat, Lou Kurz the third and Joe Elli son the first. Wayne Lemley went in front in the main after Crock Hunter had spun out on the 14th lap. There was contention that Lem ley's A-57 machine had some thing to do with Hunter's spin in 15-x and a beef ensued. Track officials didn't see it the same and A-57 headed off the restart. For the first time in this sea son's program a driver from out side the Rogue Valley Racing as sociation didn't take the main. However, Klamath Falls and Roseburg drivers were not on hand for the evening. Klamath reportedly was having its own race. A usual delegation from California was present. Monte Hall was second in the main with is M-16, Bob Wilcox took third in M-3 and Rose fourth in M-5. There were about a half-dozen spin-outs in the 25 lap finale. Most sensational oc curred when Jenkins in M-4 whirled and almost upset Kurz in M-7. Two wheels of M-7 rose high in the air but Kurz had his machine under control in short order. In the semi Sisemore in M-43 took advantage of a restart to get the lead in the sixth lap. A simi lar situation enabled Rose to pull in to second on the ninth time around. Rose went ahead on the 13th go-round and see-sawed with Sisemore before going into the lead to stay in the 15-Iap-aper. Wee Williams lost a wheel from M-33 in the race, the sec ond time a wheel came off for him during the evening. Wayne Lemley took advantage of a bump with Ray Asher to go around in C-l driver in the A THE LI G HTE ST, MILDEST STRAIGHT BOURBON YOU CAN FIND!

Jim Hughes of the Angels had the distinction of getting the loss in the first game against San Diego and the win in the nightcap. Forty-nine hits were packed into the double header along with nine pitching changes. Hughes arrived at the wrong time in one case and the right time in another. Home runs were so cheap in this fray that even a grand slammer by Roy Hartsfield of the Angels couldn't win the opener. The Pads splurged for four runs to settle things up in the eighth inning of that game while a three run rally sparked by Jim Baxes' two run single gave the Seraphs the nod in the ninth frame of an extended nightcap. trophy race. Asher was second, Wally Cannon third and Bert Miller fourth. Johnny Jones fol lowed Doyce Lemley in B trophy run and Jack Kecks was third. Jim Erwin was second in the first heat and Mutt Price third Ted Sletten, leading in the race, had motor trouble and Williams lost his wheel. Gentleman Joe Wolfe was runner-up in the sec ond heat and Doyce Lemley third. Jenkins capitalized on a joust between Wolfe and Lemley to go in front in the romp. Jack Keck broke an axle and spun out. Hall was second in the third heat and Asher third. Cannon copped the place position in the fourth heat and Sisemore the show. Man Survives 5 Days in Boat Monterery, Calif. W A 35-year-old salmon fisherman who survived a five-day ordeal in a drifting boat considered today that two strikes and he might have been out. Instead, the first of Jack Coats' remaining two matches struck fire to a distress signal, and he was saved. "I was in a bad way," Coats said of his close call with death. He had drifted for more than 200 miles, from Mendocino, Calif., to Monterery, in his dis abled 36-foot boat, the Gojac, while the Coast Guard searched for him. He had no food except a few vitamin pills, a mouldy piece of bread left over from iast season's fishing and a few quarts of brackish water also left over from last season. Finally Coats sighted the U. S. destroyer George Anderson Sun day morning. "I was down to two matches, but I was ready," Coats said. "I had soaked my shirt with gaso line and I had tied it to a stick. "When I saw the lights, com ing down there in the dark, I knew it was now or never." The shirt blazed brightly and the Anderson came alongside. But Coats refused to abandon ship the source of his livli hood. The Anderson notified the Coast Guard which sent a cutter to tow Coats and his boat to port. 6 YEARS OLD 111 - wj& The Family Council Editor'! now: The Family ConncU consist ot a )udtt. pjTchlitrlst. three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each article is a summary ol an actual report.

William R She wouldn't do that. Evelyn R. We live in a small farm community and our three children have moved to cities Two are married, but our young est, Peggy, is not. She is 25 and has been living away from home since she started college. Peggy has a boy friend whom she has been going with for the past four years. He is of a different faith. We were very upset about this and my husband said that he never wanted to see her again if she married this boy. I am afraid that because of these threats. Peggy has been having an affair with this boy She never really tells anything about herself and what she Is doing in her letters or when she comes to see us. I would be very unhappy to see Peggy marry outside of her faith, but 1 feel it would be better than this. I feel we should tell her we are willing to ac cept the boy. My husband is against it. William R Peggy has grown very far away from us, but I am sure she can't have so far turned her back on everything we have instilled in her tha she would have an affair with a man. At heart, she is a very good, simple girl and I know that she loves us and cares about her religion. This is why I feel it is best to hold out and stand our ground. In tne long run I know that Peggy would not marry anyone we don't accept. My wif spoils her by being too soft hearted. My wife met this boy and says he doesn't seem a bad sort I think it was a mistake for her to even meet him. I refused because standing firm is the best policy. The last time we saw Peggy she looked very unhappy and not at all well. The best thing for her to do is to come home and marry a boy of our own sort from this community. When I tell her these things, she just walks away and says I don't "understand." The Council: William prides himself on his firmness, but he is really softer than his wife in the wrong place. His head. He has the maturity and ex perience to know that many a "good simple girl" has gone wrong, but the fact is too harsh for him to face. He prefers to blur it and brazen things out with a tough exterior. It is possible that Peggy still retains her early standards, but certainly she is having difficulty with her personal life and is treading dangerous ground. She has nowhere to turn for guid ance because her parents have shut the door to understanding Evelyn is no more ready than her husband to open that door i when she, in a panic, offers to "accept the boy."
