Warren Simmons of Syracuse, 19-year-old sophomore, and Wis consin's Roger Rubendall, 22, moved into the favored rples to succeed Ohio State's Fred Jones as individual champion on the basis of their identical 142 scor es for medal honors in the 36 hole'qualfying rouiftis. Rubendall fired a 4-under-par 68 to set a course record Tuesday after Simmons had established it at 69 the day before. The co-herd of Tuesday's round was Jim Hiskcy, whose par shooting on the last eight holes gave Houston university the team championship by one stroke over Stanford. His teammate, Frank Wharton, informed Hiskey at the 15th hole that he had to shoot par golf to win the title for his team. Hiskey obliged and wound up with a 73 for a two-day total of 150. Simmons and Rubendall were the class of the qualifying rounds. The next low score was 146. posted by Florida State's Frank Shave Jr. One of today's top matches pitted Simmons against Ernie George of San Jose State, a West Coast favorite, who qualified at 154.

SP 2-6882 Medford )V 1 " ' 395 I l1 r old E.--M It .3 tiro 1343 Prospective Major Loop Shift Aired By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Correspondent Washington W The pres ident of the New York City council charged today the Na tional league acted "arrogantly and callously" when it author ized the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants to move to the West Coast. Council Pfesident Abe Stark also said the proposed shifts amounted to a "shocking spec tacle of organized, officially sanctioned piracy" by the may ors of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Stark told a house judiciary subcommittee which is holding hearings on professional sports antitrust legislation that the National league took a "public be damned" attitude. He compared the league own ers to "the robber barons who plundered private industry un til the government stepped in to regulate the jungle." Stark charged that there is an "unholy alliance" between the baseball barons and the pay television forces" involved in the proposed shifts, which he said the subcommittee should in vestigate. He noted reports that the Dodgers were negotiating with a pay as you see TV firm, in connection with their proposed .love to Los Angeles. Washington W Rep. Pat rick J. Hillings predicts that the Brooklvn Dodgers and New York Giants will play baseball! on the west Coast next year. The California Republican ex pressed his belief in an inter view with the United Press Tues day night. He based his predic tion on talks with officials of the two clubs. The prospective Giant-Dodger shift was due for a thorough air ing today Delore the House judic iary subcommittee studying sports anti-trust legislation. Hill ings, Dodger President Walter O'Malley and Giant President Horace Stoneham all were called to testify on the move. Other witnesses included New York City Council President Abe Stark and Leslie M. O'Connor, president of the Pacific Coast league. Rep. Emanuel Celler D-N.Y., subcommittee chairman, said he would try to learn from the wit nesses whether the Dodgers and Giants actually will move to Los Angeles and San Francisco as authorized by the National League May 28. Neither club has said whether it will exercise its option to shift to the " 'est Coast. But Hillings, who has spear headed the campaign 'to bring big league baseball to the West Coast, said there was no doubt in his mind that the moves would be made. "I have reason to believe that the contracts are all signed and that they are ready to pack up and go as soon as the 1957 sea son closes,' 'he said. "The deal is all set and I am convinced on the basis of con versations with officials of both clubs that the transfer of the Dodgers to Los Angeles and the Giants to San Francisco will be made, effective with the 1958 season." At least one auxiliary con tract is understood to have been signed. It is an agreement be tween O'Malley and a pay-as-you-see TV firm which has made guarantees to presidents of both the Dodgers and Giants. Wires for the pay-as-you-see television already are being strung in Los Angeles, Hillings said. NY Yankees Had Biggest Payroll Washington W It pays to be a Yankee but no one has to pull in his belt with the Dodgers, either. The Yankees had the largest payroll in professional baseball last year, having paid their play ers a total of $492,000, according to financial figures submitted to a house judiciary committee. The Brooklyn Dodgers, how ever, paid the highest average salary S18.880 to the 25 play ers on its roster. The Dodgers' entire payroll was S472.000. Yankees Average S17.570 The Yankees, 28 players were paid in average salary of S17. 570, with Yogi Berra drawing the highest pay, S58.000. Top National league salary was S75.000 and it apparently j went to Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals. The individual players were not identified In the financial figures. Slugging outfielder Ted Wil liams of the Red Sox has gener-; ally been regarded the top sal aried man in the sport with a contract of S100.000 per year. However, some of Williams' pay hinges on a bonus arrangement. COURSE BUMPY Monza, Italy IP American race drivers today classified th? famed Monza circuit as "bumpy" but conceded it is "probably the world's fastest' racing stripp. Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix, Ariz., Ray Crawford of Pasadena, Calif., Eddie Sachs! of Allentown, Pa., and Paul i Russo of Canogo Park, Calif., tested their cars on the banked course Tuesday for the first time since arriving here for Satur day's 500-mile race against European drivers. i MEDFORxviMfWTRIBUKE Six Teams Bunched In Coast League Race By DON THACKERY United Press Sports Writer The only clubs in the Pacific Coast league with any elbow room today were the Portland Beavers and Sacramento Solons, both making like sandhogs in the loop cellar.
